“Since developing food allergies, this was by far the best restaurant experience of my life! We were visiting from out of town and I saw an article on “Visit Mesa” about the food inclusion initiative they have. Only people with allergies understand the anxiety around eating out and hoping you won’t accidentally be exposed. The first thing we were asked was “What are your allergies?” My mind was instantly at ease. The food was wonderful and the service amazing! I can’t wait to come back.“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Best Mediterranean food in the East valley!“

“absolutely fresh and delicious“

“I'm sitting at the house with the little woman and she says ' Sweetie, you seem to be getting on pretty good after the cataract surgery and I want to order food or cook something special for you! What woudl it be? I'm thinking how about catfish nuggets and dirty rice. She says she will go to the store and she's going to cook it. She had a bad day and I tell her no, we'll order it and the fun begins. Lucky for us, as I 'm checking the list of cajun food restaurants--A is for but my eyes are sucked in by BABY KAYS in bright red lettering. OK, short story it ain't--I have her call in the order 1. Catfish dinner, 2. BarBCue shrimp dinner, 3. a side of dirty rice and 4. a side of jumbalaya. I live in Sun Lakes and I drive over to pick up the meal and I need my tail whooped because I did not get the bar tenders name who made small talk as she took my money and gave me the order. The meal was so dad-gone good, that I started with the tartar sauce and the horse radish that was prevelent on my taste buds. On the 5 star restaurant scale an 9+. You can't get more than five on the other scale so I gave em a nine plus. WORTH THE DRIVE! WORTH THE COST! AND THE AMBIANCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE....I'M LIKE ARNOLD, 'I'LL BE BACK!' What a food experience...Rhonda and I will eventually go for a sit down...and that's all I got to say about that. Ken and Rhonda“

“First time today. What a great salad (Cobb). Huge!!! Ranch dressing. Very filling. Lemonade also tasty. Affordable! I will be back! Thanks for a new experience.... drive-through salad...who knew!“

“We’re from other states. My husband is from Texas and I am from Louisiana. We met on the pipeline and started our own business which keeps me returning to mesa Arizona 2-3 times a year. The steel mill has recommended this business and we love it! It’s a must stop every time! I can’t wait to eat here every time I’m in town! The people, atmosphere, and food is amazing!! Highly recommended to new visitors!!“

“always excellent food and great service!“

“Olive Garden is one of my favorite places to eat a lunch or dinner, I always get full, because their bread sticks are so good, and everyone there are so nice.

I've yet tried any item there that did leave me wanting more, thats is how your taste buds are being satisfied. Like I never eat eggplant 🍆 not even at home, but Olive Garden's eggplant is so good it leaves me wanting more.

Another thing I like about Olive Garden is, their restaurants are always clean, including their bathrooms. The staff is always nice and quick to remove used dishes once you have eaten everything off it or pushed it away like to say, I am done, can't eate another bite. They politely ask you if you are done and if you want a carry out box, and if you answer yes, they quickly either bring you a container or remove your dishes.

Even if you don't normally eat Italian food, rest assured you can safely eat almost anything they offer. Like their soops are great, especially the minestrone soop, the salads, both are just vegetables prepared in a way to wake your taste buds up, just for starters. I love their pasta dishes, like their Alfredo sauce pasta dish, or the spaghetti, and meat balls, the red sauce is fixed just right, and it never leaves me with indigestion or heart burn.

The prices are fair, and you get full, ive yet to see anyone who is with me that doesn't get full and ends up taking food home, all for around $20 to $30 dollars each and thats usually after the tip is applied.

You have to try Olive Garden, it like a great chip, except you can't eat there just once, you will leave thinking about when you can return for another meal, so do yourself and your taste buds a favor, have lunch or dinner and find a new favorite place to eat.

I only wish they served breakfast, it would have to be out of this world 🌎 I'm sure.

I also like Olive Garden because they have plenty of tables which makes it easy for those with a physical disability to eat out without having to workout being able to set up close to the table easily, and their entrance are wheelchair accessible so everyone can enjoy and have a good time out.

I highly recommend 👌 Olive Garden to all my friends and anyone reading this review. Please stop back by and let me know what you think.“

“Tommy and Amber are wonderful! You have a full view of the line and Tommy is constantly changing his gloves and works in such a clean and professional manner. Amber is a great bartender and your glass is never empty! She is so on top of things. 10/10 recommend. Great sandwiches and great drinks.“

“Chop Shop never disappoints! We eat here all the time and it’s hands down one of our favorite spots. The Thai Coconut Chicken Bowl is always fresh and flavorful, and the Cheat Day Wrap is the perfect comfort food when you’re craving something hearty.

Today we were helped by Cole, and he went above and beyond—personable, kind, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find staff who make you feel so welcome, and Cole made our visit even better.

Highly recommend Chop Shop for anyone looking for great food, a friendly atmosphere, and excellent service!“

“Very tasty. Izzy is the best. We enjoy eating the mellow rolls.“

“Great thin crust pizza! Very clean & friendly staff.“

“The manager (I didn't catch his name), and Maya, were absolutely phenomenal in helping me out with a large chocolate lasagna order that I had for a special event! These cakes are the best and they normally do not sell them as a whole cake. I am beyond grateful for their can-do and helpful attitude! Very very friendly manager and staff! Maya is amazing, professional, and such a pleasure to work with! I am a customer for life!“

“My 11 year old son and I stopped in for some sushi tonight and I must say. I've never been so mistreated by a place of business in my entire life. Food was just ok. Nothing special. I ordered 10 piece sashimi, 2 rolls, stuffed jalapeños, miso soup and a sculpin ipa. The girl didn't know what sculpin was and asked for me to point it out on the menu so I did. Our food started coming out and 4 of the 5 items were already on the table and my son and I were starting to get full. The waitress hadn't brought my beer yet and I stopped her and reminded her I hadn't gotten the beer I ordered and I no longer wanted it since we were already pretty far along into our dinner. After I mention this she quickly hurrys to the bar and brings the beer apologizing for the delay. I tell her like I said I no longer wanted it so she took it away. Later when she brings the check the beer that I didn't receive and said I no longer wanted was still on the check. I asked her to please remove it. The owner comes over and in an agitated and aggressive manner asks if there is a problem wirh the bill. I told him yes the beer needed to be removed. He says no he will not remove it since it was already poured. He walks over to bar and brings it back and says here is your beer you need to pay for it. I explained to him how I received it after I had gotten most of my food and no longer wanted it but he refused. He was beyond rude and unreasonable. Most restaurants would take back a beer even if you take a drink and don't like it, I didn't get my beer until I was done with 50% of my food and didn't want it anymore! I mentioned something about his poor customer service and how it's no surprise the place is empty with no customers. The guy gets really heated and demands j pay for the drink. I got up and told my son let's go and the owner begins to assault me pushing me in the shoulder to back me up. 3 of his staff and my son witnessed this. He then stood in front of the doors and would not let us exit until I signed the credit card slip. I went back to the table and signed it "F You" and he let us out but after he read the signature the owner ran outside the store threatening me and getting into my face while calling the cops. His staff even thought he was crazy and were begging me to sign it and they offered to reimburse me $5 cash for the beer. They said their boss was having a bad day. The staff even agreed that the beer came out late which should not have been problem to have it removed. I ended up scribbling something on another copy of the credit card receipt and he finally allowed us to walk away without harassing us. My son was so scared he was calling 911 himself because of how the owner was assaulting me and up in my face. All this mistreatment over a $5 draft beer. I will never step foot in this place again and I should press charges against the owner for putting his hands on me and assaulting me. He even mentioned he has it all on camera so he can validate himself everything that took place. I read over other reviews for this place and it seems this owner likes to argue and fight rather than take accountability for his and his staffs actions. It's unacceptable for anyone to EVER be treated this way, EVER.“

“It was my first time back since Covid hit. It was just as tasty as before. The waitstaff made sure I was happy with everything, even well after bringing my food. They followed all the current protocols of these times too.“

“We frequently eat at all three locations. The food is top notch with HUGE generous portions. Our favorites are the shrimp tacos, stuffed quesadilla and flying saucers. Their horchata is the best in town! Great atmosphere, wonderful customer service, excellent food!“

“My favorite all you can eat sushi in the valley. Fair pricing, includes sashimi, nigiri, specialty rolls, a variety of hot food items like teriyaki chicken, fried rice, udon/soba, tempura, edamame, etc. Really a place to get sushi and it's always served fresh.“

“I respect and appreciate chick fil a closing on Sunday though I miss them! I have never had poor customer service even if there's an issue with service or order. They always correct it and with a smile. This location no different. My son wanted lunch at 10:20 and they were able to take the order to begin process when breakfast service over at 1030. My son mostly craved for a frozen lemonade, which not quite set but they made a new one really quickly, apologizing profusely since just started machine; We got extra goody and on our way to mini-vacay with our belly's full and happy.“

“For anybody who lives around the area of University and and Power in East Mesa can find a wonderful selection of social activities.
Dreamland Villa a 55 plus retirement Community, where at least one resident must be at least 55 years old, offer so many activities such as an art, ceramics, lapidary, computer classes, quilting club, wood carving, as well as various Social clubs that meet in two different facilities every day
Membership rates are really inexpensive and if your life is not very exciting right now come and investigate how that can change in a moment!“

“Can I say that these are the nicest staff members and actually their kindness made a difference in my day today. went in there for a construction job that I was doing and ended up having to use the restroom and ended up buying a tuna melt which was delicious by the way. And the prices are so affordable“

“There are very few fast food places I eat anymore. Once I lived on them. Now I very careful where I spend my money. They have to have quality and they have to be priced right. This location is great. The employees are super nice and the owner is too. I love skipping the line ordering from my app and they bring it to my table. Usually quickly. They also fix any issues fast (not that many to speak of).“

“Thank you for sponsoring the Miss AZ USA pageant!“

“I want to talk a little about the working people at the Mesa location. I had a small question about the order I placed for pickup. I ordered ahead a bit and when I arrived I asked how long my order was sitting there,and the front desk about 10 minutes or so. I got home and wasn’t totally satisfied with my order. I ordered the lasagna.
The manager jumped right up and did everything possible to make it right, and I was over the moon with my return to get the efforts of my resolution.
Once again I was treated awsome and made sure that my next order was 1000% perfect.And I had the Lasagna and as you know the portion size is huge but really didn’t want to stop eating it. I just want to thank you again for caring so much for me as 1customer who will definitely be back and probably send 10 more in word of mouth (and I do have a big mouth)It’s really nice when places like this show mad respect for the little guy.“

“I can’t believe I haven’t left a review for this place. Specifically the Ellsworth location. We’ve ordered probably 15 times since finding it in November. It’s our #1 take out place! The chicken and beef teriyaki bowl with no rice, double veggies is my favorite!“

“love going here its tasty“

“Very authentic restaurant. The food is amazing as well as the service. They also have a bakery with authentic breads and pastries. There are not many guatemalan food places in the east valley but this one is amazing. Very authentic from food to service to atmosphere.“

“I was NOT disappointed 🥰 I have found my new wing spot for sure! I won’t have to drive 30 minutes to my old wing spot anymore!“

“We stopped by Panera Bread in Mesa, AZ, and it turned into a fun memory—my son, Kovana tried avocado toast for the very first time here! The staff had everything fresh and ready, the place was clean, and the service was smooth. The toast itself was simple but packed with flavor—crisp bread, creamy avocado, and a touch of seasoning that made it enjoyable.

What I really appreciate about Panera is the consistency. No matter where we’ve been, the service and food quality always feel dependable, and this Mesa location was no exception. Watching my son experience something new while everything around us was clean and welcoming made it that much better.

This is a spot where you can enjoy a good meal, relax, and make small but memorable moments with family.

“I'm visiting from Oklahoma and have to say Tom's has the best BBQ AND FISH I have ever tasted! Very friendly staff, large portions, and reasonable pricing!! I strongly suggest you give it a try if your ever in the Mesa, AZ area!“

“Delicious pizza and salad ... cute little place .. we will be back!!“

“Nice and quiet atmosphere and very kind staff. Clean and comfortable.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the moment we walked in, we had an awesome experience at The Buffalo Spot! Stephanie greeted us right away with a warm smile and made us feel welcome instantly. Since it was our first time visiting, she patiently explained the menu and even went above and beyond by letting us sample a sauce so we’d know the spice level. That was such a thoughtful touch!

We ended up ordering two large buffalo fries—one with pineapple jalapeño and one with mango habanero. Both were packed with flavor, and we kicked them up a notch by adding ranch on top. Pro tip: definitely ask for extra sauce because it makes them even better! The fries were loaded, messy in the best way possible, and absolutely delicious.

We also tried their new milkshakes—Biscoff and banana—and wow, they were amazing! So creamy, rich, and addictive that they didn’t even survive the car ride home.

The food was incredible, but the service made the visit stand out even more. Stephanie’s friendliness, patience, and genuine care turned a quick meal into a great experience. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

The Mediterranean pizza with added Italian sausage is my go to recommendation. It's tasty. Love Fired Pie!“

“I just want to brag and tell everyone about this newly opened store! With a wonderful A+ 100 Stars Staff at the new location at Alma School and Southern in Mesa, AZ. I want to give them yet another compliment! You guys know how to hire staff that go above and beyond at every point, from the beginning of an order, the preparation of a great meal, superb service, and respectful, kind staff, to a clean place to sit and eat. Let me go a step further and brag about the manager I approached later in the day when I realized a teeth retainer container had been thrown away. He went above and beyond when I came back with gloves to dig through the trash. He did the rough work and returned a text in about an hour telling me he had retrieved the retainer and that it was at the store waiting to be picked up again! What amazing staff you have here! We are thankful customers who stay faithful to your brand everywhere we go. Please never change! Your founder has set the precedent for exceptional service in the fast food industry, and everything about his principles has kept and will keep us loyal as long as you stay consistent. We will brag about this for years to come and about many other great experiences we have had with our children with disabilities, whom your staff treat with the greatest respect and kindness. Thank you again Chick-Fil-A!!!“

“Panera Bread always hits the spot, especially with their Pick Two deal! For just $6.99, I got the tuna sandwich and creamy tomato soup—comfort food at its best. It even came with a big, fresh hunk of bread on the side. I also grabbed the papaya green tea (seriously, so refreshing!)

The vibe inside is cozy and peaceful—it reminds me of simpler times. It’s one of those places where you actually want to sit and eat instead of rushing out. Love it here. 💛“

“Great place, really could use a store in East Mesa, either Recker and McDowell or Power and McKellips. Help!!!“

“I was here about a week ago, and had the Power Bowl. It was very good, but I feel the Strawberry Chocolate dessert cups were pricey $9(mini) $14 (regular size).
I had a friend with me, and hoped to share a very good dining experience with them. Unfortunately the ordering and “flow” of this Zupas location was a bit confusing for a first time customer, the acoustics seemed to amplify the noise level, and several of the tables were cluttered with used trays and trash.

I visited the Zupas at 3477 S. Gilbert Road for the first time several months ago at the same time of day (2pm), and had a better overall experience. (attentive employees, quieter and cleaner, etc.) I do like the menu items, and will probably be back to give it “another try”.“
