“Talk about an oasis… You won’t leave Honey & Sol without being filled! The space is spectacular (no detail has been overlooked!), the food is delicious (two words: breakfast burrito), the store is adorable (I guarantee you’ll find something for someone!), and the H&S team is nothing shy of exceptional (thanks for everything, Will and Roslyn!)! As I have become more mindful of what my money is backing, it feels really great to support a place that exists to gather people and give back to the community! Shine on, Honey&Sol! 🧡”

“Tim our waiter was very nice, informative and great conversation for sure....”

“Haven't been able to eat there since Covid. It was always one of our favorite places before they closed it to the public & made it for Tonto Verde residents & Country Club members only. Very sad to see it go.”

“My wife and I chose Needle Rock to celebrate our 45 wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! It was a wonderful experience. From beginning to end we were very happy! The staff was accommodating and very courteous. I highly recommend Needle Rock because of the food and setting !!! Thank you Raven (our server) and Tom S. (Country club director) for being attentive to us and taking care of us. A most positive experience!”

“We had Batchelor’s Pad cater a small gathering at our house for 13 people. The food was fabulous, the portions were super generous and the customer service was top notch. I highly recommend and will definitely be ordering from them again!”

“Dakota does a great job. I am from New York and his hot dogs are better than in New York.”

“Wow! I am thoroughly impressed with this restaurant. We were driving home to Gilbert from Payson and decided to make a pit stop for lunch in Fountain Hills. Sushi sounded like the perfect cuisine after a day of strenuous hiking. First off, this place is absolutely gorgeous. Painted cement floors, large comfy booths, not to mention the beautiful artificial Bonsai tree in the center of the restaurant. Like another reviewer said, I'm not much on fake plants, but this was a nice touch and not too tacky. The service was pretty good, our server Emily checked in on us quite a bit. However, the best part of the experience was the food. I started with the Baked Scallop Dynamite Roll, which was phenomenal. My Dad loved his Lunch Fried Rice with Chicken as well. Surprisingly, the Miso Soup and House Salad we had on the side was delicious as well. Especially that salad, the dressing was to die for. Enough said, we'll be back to Oka for sure.”

“Love our local community baked food store. Miss Terri bakes everything from scratch. She puts her heart and soul into everything she bakes which makes it that much better. #eatlocal”

“Just had a hiking group stop by Phil's after a couple loops around the fountain. I had the sliders which were excellent and my wife got a Julienne salad which was huge. Everyone had positive feedback on their lunches & service. I always stop in while vacationing here from Michigan and I'm never disappointed. Thanks Phil & staff for ALL you do.”

“Great brewery and even better beer! I’ve been coming here almost every Friday for the last 3 years and love it. The Baron IPA is my favorite of their line up. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about all their beers. They have food trucks most nights during the weekend a weekend as they don’t serve food inside.”

“Nestled in a charming location with a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking a fountain, Alexander’s Greek Kitchen offers a delightful dining experience that feels like a warm escape to Greece. From the friendly owner to the hearty portions, everything about this place exudes authenticity and hospitality.

We opted to sit outside, enjoying the relaxing view of the fountain and the serene atmosphere. The setting was perfect for an evening meal, with a light breeze adding to the ambiance. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, stopping by to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and even sharing a few recommendations from the menu. His genuine friendliness made the experience even more special.

The portions at Alexander Greek Restaurant are impressively large—perfect for sharing or for those with hearty appetites. Everything we tried was full of authentic Mediterranean flavors, and the ingredients tasted fresh and vibrant.

- Greek Meze Platter: This was an excellent way to start the meal. The platter included hummus, tzatziki, and a feta spread with peppers (the name escapes me, but it was an absolute winner!). The creamy feta spread was the standout, with its tangy, slightly spicy kick perfectly balanced by the richness of the cheese. The meze was served with warm pita bread, which was soft and perfect for dipping.
- Greek Salad: A classic done right
- Chicken Skewers: The chicken was grilled to perfection—tender, juicy, and infused with a smoky, charred flavor.
- Lamb with Oven-Roasted Potatoes: This dish was the highlight of the evening. The lamb was incredibly tender, cooked to perfection with a slight crust on the outside, and bursting with Mediterranean spices. The oven-roasted potatoes were soft, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned—a comforting accompaniment to the lamb.

I’ll definitely be back for another helping of that unforgettable feta spread and lamb! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Greek cuisine with a personal touch.

Vegetarian options: Limited vegetarian options, mainly the salad, meze, and the vegetarian sandwich”

“Beef Stew was awesome, like homemade. You stand in front of the food at the food case and tell them what you want and they will box it up and then you meet them at the register to get your food. They have ample seating in the area.”

“Come see the best bartender around”

“Tonight I enjoyed dinner and a look at Fountain View Village. It was very cheerful and bright building with many areas for residents to gather. The residents I spoke with seem to greatly enjoy being a part of the community and all the activities it has to offer. The dining experience was exceptional with shrimp, Caesar’s salad, lobster tail and chocolate cake. It was absolutely a 5 star dinner with an exceptional staff. I would highly recommend looking at FVV as a living option. It is a lovely community with many happy residents.”

“Absolutely delicious food! Our favorite place to eat in Fountain Hills!”

“SoCal Vibrations food truck in Chandler is a go-to for gourmet-style street food with serious flavor. Their burgers and sandwiches are top-notch, think BBQ bacon cheeseburgers loaded with pulled pork, bacon jam, and crispy onions, served with truffle fries. And the Cali-style burritos are packed with beans, cheese, guac, jalapeño sauce, and even stuffed with fries for that indulgent twist. Other favorites include loaded mac & cheese bowls and sliders, all generous portions that leave you wanting more. The staff is friendly and efficient, keeping lines moving with ease even when it’s busy. The vibe is energetic and fun, making it an easy stop for lunch, dinner, or just a satisfying bite on the go.”

“Pssst, can I tell you a secret?

This place is a gem in Fountain Hills. I literally woke up and had my leftovers for breakfast then thought I need to write a review. I had the pasta with sausage. A delicious big portion of savory sausage/penne that came with yummy garlic knots. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend Pisa.”

“Nature's Finest Health Food store has a great selection of products and the staff there is knowledgeable. Stop in for your health care needs. Someone is there to answer your questions and to suggest the right product for your needs.”

“Your either family or your not. My mom has been going to this place to dance and have fun since before I was born. 2003 to be exact. Now they are making fun of my mom for showing up to dance, she doesn’t always drink. And telling her she can’t come in and dance when I am with my grandma and auntie? Well I am a kid. But even I know that is mean. And I don’t like people who are mean. Especially to my mom.”

“I love Water & Ice! They have the best tasting water, kettle corn, gelato and ice cream!! If you haven't tried them...you need to!”
