Jimmy was a great server! We were celebrating 3 Birthdays and enjoyed your special desserts. All in all, it was a lovely lunch! THANKS!

Well love Tavern, the food is outstanding, the service is superb and the atmosphere is quaint. It's an upscale "Cheers" feel for those old enough to recall the show. It is one of the few neighborhood dining establishments with a hometown feel along with organic, grass feed meats and other fare cooked in beef tallow. They are listening to current health and longevity reports on the benefits of these food selection and prep practices. Three cheers for Tarbell's Tavern!!

My party of 5 was very taken care of by our waiter, Casey!! And I was able to have my favorite drink, a penicillin to help celebrate my birthday!

Never ever order the Avacado Grapefruit salad here. All we got was a couple of slices of grapefruit and some avacados!

The food is always great and the service always attentive. The menu has a nice variety of options and the wine store is exceptional.

We had a lovely late lunch at Tarbell's Tavern before going to see the holiday lights at the Desert Botanical Gardens. The food was very well prepared, and the portions were great. I'd go back there again when we're next in the area.

The service was excellent; however, the food quality was subpar. I had to use a significant amount of spicy sauce to mask the excessive fat and undercooked bun of my burger.

We had a great experience. Our waitress/bartender (Shanti) was excellent. Food was perfect and wines paired great. I would definitely recommend to anyone. You can also buy a great bottle of wine of what you had for dinner to enjoy another night

Literally the most garbage food I have ever seen at an airport after flying for 20 years. Remarkable you can have such terrible food and drinks and stay around.

23$ for a margarita that had NO price listed next to it. Shameful. Impressive how bad it is.

I arrived on Monday with my flight already delayed two hours by the ATC… The airport was mayhem, lines at every bar. I’m a member of the Escape Lounge at terminal 3 where I found 38 people on a waitlist ahead of me. I ended up walking over to the F terminal and found this place. Yes, it was very busy, but there was space for me. I was immediately greeted by someone I think may have been the manager, her name is Michele Lee!! She could tell I was stressed and within a few minutes my drink was in front of me and I was already feeling better. Michelle explained the airport has been like this all day with many unhappy travelers and they have worked nonstop to try and please everyone. I was very grateful for her kindness and the professionalism of her staff. I will definitely return here. I did not try the food so I can’t comment, but I bet it’s pretty good! And as a side note, they were playing all of my favorite music!
Cheers to Michelle and staff!!!

Needed breakfast before flying out. Seated right away. Water and coffee came out. Waited quite awhile before our order was taken. Even longer wait for the food to be served. Asked for hash browns and got French fries instead. We were not informed that they were out of hash browns and if the substitution was satisfactory. Did not come back to the table to check on us. Tried to use online check pay and it did not work. In fact, the restaurant computers went down and no one could pay nor were able to order. I had to pay cash for our meals. Even that was a fiasco since none of the cash drawers would open. Waitress made change out of the tip jars. All in all the staff was not on point for food service. I will not go back when I fly out of Sky Harbor. I am sure that Chef Tarbell has nothing to do with this place except to have his name on it.

The food at Tarbell's lands solidly in the "slightly above average" camp. The award-winning burger? Fine. Perfectly edible, though the hype feels a tad generous. The fries were the quiet MVP, They were crispy, well-seasoned, and the best thing on the plate. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combo was exactly what you'd expect: basic, comforting, forgettable. Service was the weak link. The staff seemed stretched thin and not particularly attentive. Would I go back? Sure, if I'm in the neighborhood and craving something reliable. But I won't be daydreaming about it. *Solid, not spectacular.*

Always great food and fantastic service. Highly recommend the patty melt. Also, Jason the sommelier has an awesome selection of tasty wine to pair with your meal.
