“su delicioso cafe, y sus hot cakes“

“Great food and service. Innovative beverages, excellent wine list. Definitely recommend.“

“This place is always welcoming, no matter when I come in they are always there to help even when it's busy they make their way to you. I've been going to this Dennys for years and the only one I will go to. The kitchen is always on point with the food they put out“

“Chicken cordon bleu with tater tots and a side of ranch.“

“We loved this place! The food had so much flavor even if seems like a small menu. Service was knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Hostess was super nice , as well as busboy and waitress who was above and beyond with descriptions of food and genuinely made us leave happy. I think her name was Mindi and Mandy ??“

“Janae is the best bartender at Twin Peaks. Always happy to see her working, never leave unhappy!“

“Great meal and a fantastic wine list! We will definitely be back.“

“We just came in with a large group and sat at a firepit. We were told to leave after a few min due to a large group reservation in an hour. We talked to the manager who told us we could stay for an hour until the reservation showed. Our table was ready after about 30 min. We were stuck in the back of a private area where 2 people didn’t receive their food until half way through and one person waited for a condiment for the entire meal. Another person got her drink order filled at the very end of the dinner. Before we left they seated 2 other tables extremely close to us when many many other tables were available! During a pandemic! Horrible experience from a usually very enjoyable place. Poorly poorly managed!“

“Very attentive staff, we wanted for nothing. Appetizers were amazing, fish bites chicken bites and loaded fries, all a meal in themselves. Loco Moco was a bit weak in flavor but very reminiscent of the islands. The dessert was a bit lacking. The pecan crust was dry and the entire dessert could have been sweeter. Personal preference. We will go back.“

“got two burgers and fries for myself and my sibling. The packaging was intact and nothing was missing from the order. The burgers tasted fresh and had a decent amount of sauce. Fries were still warm when we started eating. Pretty good experience overall.“

“If you’re looking for a nice meal that is celiacs friendly, this is the perfect place for that fancy meal! We enjoyed the gluten free green chili corn bread. It was on the spendy side, but it was well worth the dollars spent!“

“This place needs way more retention. When here after a hike at 9:30. And the lady working there was extremely kind and she was very attentive and she recommended a wonderfully good cantaloupe fresh drink. She even gave us free refills despite them being $1.50 which she didn’t have to do but was very appreciated. We couldn’t get enough of it. Not to mention the food was amazing. We had five different meals and all of them tasted incredible. 100% would go back again after a hike“

“Love WF - yummy and great atmosphere!“

“Happy hour snacks and drinks are amazing.“

“We are new-ish to the Valley & like to support local places, so we look for new restaurants to visit each weekend. I found The Main Ingredient on FB yesterday & the menu caught my attention. We'll, SO glad we drive in to try it! Holy smokes did we gave a great lunch today! I had the brunch huevos & the hubs had the Cuban. Great portions (I couldn't finish my huevos) and both of us were saying we want to come back & try other items. The service was fine - I definitely felt like if you were from the neighborhood you were recognized & chatted up, but by no means was our server not perfectly fine... appropriately friendly & attentive, drinks & refills arrived promptly, she checked on us mid-meal, the bill came promptly. Zero complaints on service but hands in the air on that food! We'll definitely return to try out more of the menu!“

“Today I placed an online order and it was set to deliver, my mistake. I called the restaurant and let them know I will have a family member pick up order. They were super understanding and said the order was changed to pick up. As my family member arrived he saw the “delivery “ person grab our order from the pick up shelves and leave. Oh well. My family just let them since the order was on its way. Well, the guy never arrived at our home. I called the restaurant explaining my issue- and they immediately said they’d replace the order. No need to reorder, and it would be ready in 15 minutes. They were incredibly professional and exceptionally fast. I cannot recommend Flower Child enough for this. THANK YOU! The dinner was amazing and stress free- and I will be back many times over ❤️“

“Very nice atmosphere for all occasions with friendly staff!“

“my all time favorite restaurant“

“Incredible food and great service.“

“Super friendly staff, fair pricing with great happy hour deals. Perfect downtown Phoenix location. Delicious burger. Definitely worth a stop. I know I’ll be back.“

“Great Lamb burger and service!!! I would highly recommend“

“My sister and I had such a good yummy happy hour, which was also probably dinner. The best customer service. They treat you like a family. Alicia, the manager, was the best. She heard me tell my sister that the butter caramel cake looked yummy. So what does she do? She brings us one on the house!! I will keep coming back here, not just for a free dessert but because of the yummy food, drinks, and everything in between. The best place ever. Thank you, Arcadia location. Love you. 🌄🌵🐴🎯💯💃🏽“

“you're WAY overpriced. You're charging $19 for edamame? Edemame is nothing but a free appetizer at any and all actual sushi bars. No wonder you filed for bankruptcy. Maybe you should have made better financial decisions other than gouging for little things. How much would you like for chips and salsa? $50? mashed potatoes $20? Are you kidding me? You're nothing without customers. You buried yourselves. You're nothing special. same day items extremely overpriced. Bye!“

“The food was good and atmosphere is amazing.“

“What a pleasant surprise this place was. The food was really good and I'm keen to go back and try more. The environment is not what you expect at all. It gives a family welcome to the neighborhood vibe and the kind of place you want in your neighborhood. Not the place if you want to listen to sports. Good service, great atmosphere, fantastic food, overall excellent experience.“

“Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous views and a beautiful romantic setting. The food was excellent, and the service was amazing.“

“The food was beyond incredible! The service was perfect, just the right amount of attention given. The drinks made by the bar were spot on. I would highly recommend this place!“

“The adult beverages, food, and service all went above and beyond my expectations!!! You owe it to your to give this place a try!!! And, a special "THANK YOU" to our server Hilary!!! She was so knowledgeable about the menu items, and drink choices, and provided an AMAZING experience!!!“

“We had the delight of walking in to bunch of vintage owl art on our vacation to Flagstaff. Their service completely friendly and inviting. Absolute, favorite breakfast/lunch food with vegan alternatives also. We always stop by when in flag and now the new site in Phoenix. Soon another close to us in PV. always a hoot of nest. 🦉“

“We enjoyed a large salad and BLT. Both were huge, we shared and had half a sandwich to bring home.“

“Great service and offerings!“

“Celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and had a phenomenal experience. The ambiance and staff were so accommodating and kind. Our server Koa really made our night with his attentiveness, upbeat personality and superb service. Can't wait to come back for another visit!“

“Loved the whole experience! Loved all the dishes we ordered with the four of us👍🏻“

“Always a favorite. They will make you feel like family. Nice cup of coffee. Food is cooked right and flavorful. Huge pancakes. I love having options like pork or turkey sausage or country gravy with or without meat. Or options for home cooking classics like liver and onions or open face sandwiches.“

“It’s always so good. Hopefully they build one in Arrowhead in North Glendale, AZ soon.“

“Its like Yougurtini but for beer and wine! You get a keyfob you tap on your choice and those in your party can either taste or drink any beer from the wall. Try "The Godfather" its an amazing Italian IPA“

“Great staff! Personable and knowledgeable employees, and the atmosphere is very welcoming!“

“The chicken fried with there amazing country gravy and lumpy mashed potatoes the way l love them..all there dinners are so good. Never had anything that was not excellent. The steaks are like eating butter. So tender unbelievable...“

“Food was amazing, atmospheres was great. New place to come and eat👌🏽“

“This place was so good it almost made me wish I lived in AZ again. I got a huge platter to go, I wish I remembered the name but it had like 17 kinds of meat 🤣 (ok, maybe not 17 but a LOT!). Meat was tender and flavorful. Cornbread was moist and literally out of this world. Can't wait for my next visit to Phoenix. This will be my "go to" for sure.“

“We had a great experience here today. Service was top notch (John), food was excellent and reasonably priced.“

“The Bloody Mary bar and cocktails are worth it alone, but then you get the food and you can’t decide which one you will come back for more!“

“We had a server named Arianna. She was perfect at her job. Highly recommend her.“

“5 Stars !! A+++++“

“Had lunch here today before our visit to the museum. I had the chilaquile verde Frida's Fiestas special - it was terrific!! My sister really enjoyed her salad, as well. And our server was wonderful. If I lived in Phoenix I'd definitely be stopping by often.“

“Great food. Great drinks. Nice but not crazy expensive“
