“Local restaurant exceeded my expectations. Bacon wrapped shrimp and green Chile cornbread were awesome. A little pricy but worth it. You get what you pay for in this case. Service was top notch too.“

“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.“

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

“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 ??“

“The hamburger was delicious and the but was light and fresh. All of the toppings were nice and crisp.
The fries came right out of the fryer and we're delicious! The chocolate banana shake was super delicious and creamy. So good!
The staff was friendly and genuinely happy to have me. The place was clean, the tables were wiped down as soon as someone left, and the bathroom was clean.
A very enjoyable lunch and 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!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“I was there Monday night and have to admit are waiter alba gave us the most professional service next time I go im really looking forward to her helping us again“

“From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the owner. She was very sweet and welcoming. Since it was our first time she gave us some recommendations from the menu. Our food was delicious.
The space was very clean and employees were friendly. We definitely will be coming back.“

“my all time favorite restaurant“

“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!“

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

“Great service and offerings!“

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

“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.“

“Love WF - yummy and great atmosphere!“

“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!“

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

“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. 🦉“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Happy hour snacks and drinks are amazing.“

“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...“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

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

“Great service with Mikaela and Stephanie . I ordered a double cheeseburger that was cooked perfectly. The front staff was professional and food was delivered in a timely manner. Cashiers was right at the front to cash me out. I’m please how organized and professional Mickael and Stephanie performed there jobs.“

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

“5 Stars !! A+++++“

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

“The experience at the diner was incredible! The atmosphere was very nostalgic and everything about was great! We will absolutely be returning!!“

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

“I have been going to this hidden gem for at least 20 years. Always a nice meal and staff. Pies to die for. Go to place for a Turkey supper or Prime Rib and of course Chicken Fried Steak. Hope they remain in business for many years to come.“

“First time here and it’s amazing! Hub had Greek spaghetti and I had Chicken Falliro. Definitely on our eat here again list.“

“Incredible food and great service.“

“Love our Cracker Barrel in Chandler AZ! Friendly, courteous, helpful staff. The food and service in the restaurant are consistently excellent! We always find a treasure we didn't know we needed 💗“

“We love Cracker Barrel! We had a young man named Caleb as our waiter tonight. He did an outstanding job taking care of our needs while dining. We were very impressed with him! Keep up the great work Caleb!“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere, quick service, free valet parking.“

“The Henry is truly an upscale restaurant/bar and the food was great! Kylee suggested the Flower Child Scamble and it was exactly what I needed! The bacon blue cheese Bloody Mary was good. I’ve walked past the Henry many times I’m so glad i tried it!“
