Aftermath Restaurant

This place should be embarrassed by the food and service provided. We had reservations at 630 for a birthday party and while we were seated promptly, it took the waitress 30 min to take drink orders and an hour and half to take our food order. We didn’t eat dinner till 830/9 and the food was terrible. Brussels sprouts were soggy and cold. Al pastor chicken was burnt, flavorless, and dry. The burger was ok but the “lettuce wrap” instead of a bun was a joke. It was literally 2 pieces of romaine. One on top and one on bottom. We ended up spending $90 for 2 people and were starving when we left. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. Overall a terrible experience and would not come back.

Our recent visit to Aftermath in Phoenix proved to be an exceptionally positive dining experience, exceeding our expectations. This establishment was brought to our attention via a popular social media platform, inspiring a visit that resulted in considerable satisfaction with both the culinary offerings and the service provided. We were particularly drawn to try their signature burger, a recommendation that came highly publicized. Upon sampling it, we can confirm that its reputation is well-deserved; the burger was expertly prepared and unequivocally delicious.

Complementing the main course, the accompanying fries were also of excellent quality, crisp and flavorful, striking a perfect balance. The attentiveness and professionalism of our server, whose name we unfortunately did not record, significantly enhanced the overall enjoyment of our meal. Their courteous demeanor and efficient service were noteworthy, contributing to a seamless and pleasant dining occasion.

Based on this outstanding experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Aftermath for its superior food quality and exceptional service standards. We are confident that other patrons will find the establishment as gratifying as we did and anticipate a return visit in the near future to explore more of their menu. The establishment has certainly set a high benchmark for dining in Phoenix.

Had wings and crudo to start...both were real good...my son had a burger and I had a salad...we enjoyed both. I would recommend if you like what they offer on the menu.

We were really excited to try it out, but was not quite up to our expectations. The service was super slow on a Friday night- The servers were really nice but we waited a very long time for drinks and food. The brussel sprout appetizer was burnt- would not recommend. The Burger was ok, but the side ceaser salad was swimming in dressing to the point it was not edible. The reviews were mostly good so maybe we hit it on a bad night, but I would not go back again.

Undisclosed credit card surcharge fees, they’re seemed to be attitude problems with the employees as well

Great food - we had the wings to start, they had an awesome kick. For dinner we had the mac & cheese, brussels sprouts and split the jalapeño burger. All were great. But, the stand out was our server, Allyn. What an amazing experience we had with Allyn as our server. can't wait to back

UPDATE: Adam, the General Manager, just demonstrated he genuinely cares that his customers have a great experience at the Aftermath by refunding the entire $22 charge for the double cheeseburger (see original complaint below). He has also indicated he spoke with his staff to explain the importance of advising Happy Hour customers when their choices are not part of the Happy Hour values. To show my appreciation, I'm going to change my 1-Star Service rating to a 5-Star Service rating, & I will thank Adam personally on our next Happy Hour visit.

This would have been an otherwise lovely Happy Hour with me & my other two friends, if not for the unpleasant surprise I got when I received my portion of the bill. In addition to one of my friend's Mac n Cheese order, she & I decided to split the $10 Happy Hour Cheeseburger. When ordering, our server asked if we wanted the double cheeseburger, or the single, so we opted for the double. I later asked the server to put the burger on my check, but was taken aback to see a $22 charge for the cheeseburger.
I didn't expect the charge to remain at $10, but the $12 surcharge for the extra patty seemed excessive. When I asked our server about it, she matter-of-factly said that's the standard charge for a double cheeseburger.
Since we were obviously ordering off the Happy Hour menu, I think our server should not have offered us the double cheeseburger option off the standard menu without also advising us of the $12 difference in price. We definitely would have been repeat customers, but not now, after feeling like we were intentionally misguided.

Got a to-go order for our first time trying this place. We got the Aftermath Burger, the Jalapeño bacon Burger, key lime bar, and the pretzel bread pudding. We definitely found our new burger spot 💯. The creamy cheese on the Aftermath, and that BACON JAM on the Jalapeño bacon burger ugghhhh it was so savory and delicious. Desserts were also amazing! The bread pudding had a really great flavor and warm spice, and the key lime bar was perfectly tart and sweet. We can't wait to come here again and actually have a sit down meal. Side note, I don't know why other places can't seem to avoid soggy fries and buns in to-go orders, but these guys got it down! Fries were still crispy and delicious, and the burgers OMG they were just so incredible! We've lived a block away for 5 years and can't believe we waited so long to try this place. 100000/10 will return. Special shout out to Adam for the above and beyond service on the desserts.

Friendly staff, very good food, great vibes.

Food is always consistent and the menu never disappoints. Our go to restaurant in this neighborhood. Chris was an excellent server and treated us great!

I waited two hours to get a cold burger with no explanation or apology, and they included 20% automatic gratuity. I will never never eat here again. Kitchens get slow and things happen, but the lack of of care or common courtesy is really unforgivable. Hope they get new management. This place used to be decent.

waited 2 hours for my food came out cold. bad service worse food

Food took 1.5 hours to come out. I used to love this place but the food was cold and has gone down hill lately. They also added a mandatory tip to our bill which seemed like a slap in the face after our night.

This place has decent food, but exceptionally bad service and long wait times.

I used to enjoy eating here but as it's become more popular the food/service has fallen off a cliff. It is abundantly clear a good dining experience isn't important to management.

The cheeseburger is as advertised. Don't miss it (and order extra fries). It's not a cheap meal, but for once in a while it's a can't miss.
