“Have eaten at this restaurant now three times. Each time the service has been great (and quick) and the food was excellent. I feel like it is a very good value. My go to is the spaghetti marinara with grilled shrimp. Has been consistently great each time!”
“Four peaks is one of the best breweries in AZ! We did a brewery tour with Carter and he was incredible. He was informative, funny, anecdotal, and engaging. The tour was one of the better brewery tours I’ve done. The staff at four peaks is always so friendly, and the food and beer are obviously incredible. We love four peaks!”
“Our bartender Brittney always provides outstanding service with excellent food recommendations while shaking us up some delicious drinks! We loved the croquettes and the meatballs.. plus Britt makes the best martinis in town hands down!”
“Drink were great, friendly bar staff, delicious appetizers. I gave it 3 stars for the atmosphere because the music was so loud during their dinner rush that it made it hard to have a conversation. Other than that, it wasn't my first time there, and it won't be my last.”
“An Eating Experience , fresh , spotless, and delicious. The Owners are Royal and makes it feel like grandma’s kitchen where our love with food began. The servers know what you want added and make sure your dish is served piping hot. A magnificent restaurant.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Chris was my server and he was amazing. Every single time I eat here, the servers are so sweet it’s pretty unreal. My food was amazing as always, I highly recommend the Bruschetta where you can pick 4 flavors. The Smoked Salmon + Pesto is my favorite❤️ Always a pleasant experience! And from open (11 AM-5 PM) is $24 bottles and $6 glasses of their wine!”
“I was fortunate enough to eat here recently, and I loved everything about it! Super cute interior decoration, comfy seats, clean bathrooms, and the most AMAAAAAZING food! Our server was fast, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We went with a bunch of appetizers and ate them family-style, which I think is a great way to test everything out. We also did their soju flight and discovered the awesomeness of their pineapple-basil and wildberry infused flavors. We just missed their daily happy hour, but I'm excited to go back and try more of what they have to offer, especially their signature drinks.”
“Pizza was absolutely amazing I didn't mind the wait Time at all it is a busy Friday night an I know mostly all businesses will be like this :)excellent service”

“My kids and I had a GREAT time at YCs Mongolian grill. You pay per bowl kids size, medium or large. Then you stack it as full as possible with protein, veggies, and top it off with noodles. There are extra bowls by the sauces where you get to create your own sauce. They have a board with suggested sauces but we created our own.There is also a rice and soup bar included with your entree. We highly recommend this local gem.#supportlocal #mongolianfood #Tempeeats”
“Eliot is the best. He always comes in here with a cheerful attitude. He remembers our order. He is conscientious about seeing when we need refills on drinks and always prepares a drink to go. It’s kind of hard to chat him up because The Restaurant is always busy and everybody wants to sit in his section. He is very popular here and we choose to come to this Dennys over others because of him despite the extra driving distance.”
“The service was fantastic and all the staff were very nice, extra points for the free samples. Would recommend for anyone looking for a sugary and sweet snack. The place was very put together and modern looking with all the donuts on display. 10/10 definitely going here again.”
“The food here is amazing! Such a diverse menu. Something for everyone! The owner is from Thailand and has the best most authentic Thai food I have ever had. A great place for group events! Very accommodating!”
“The wife and I finally tried Nad's Chicken & Seafood near our house on Kyrene & Elliott in Tempe, AZ! This place has a nice casual atmosphere, and it was quite busy which is good!The service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and the food was INCREDIBLE! Everything was SO fresh, had perfect seasoning and was made from scratch!We had the fried shrimp & fried red snapper basket with hand cut fries! Our sIdes? Fresh okra & hush puppies! ALL the sauces were made from scratch too!! And for desert?....we tried their FRIED OREOS! They were BREATHTAKING! ?????If you vist the East Valley, YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!! ?????”
“It doesn’t taste good! Like?2023.04.152023.04.23So delicious. Come again.There are more stir-fried pork and braised pork with dried prunes today. They are delicious.2023.07.22I originally wanted to go to the all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant across the street to celebrate my wife’s birthday, but my wife insisted on coming to the old town.I tried more cabbage today and it was delicious2023.10.012024.02.24”
“This food was amazing!! Visited here from out of state and had chicken kabob. It was flavorful, moist chicken. The hummus was yummy and pita warm. Garlic sauce was delicious! (No vampires gonna get me today!) I’ll be back to eat here again while I’m here.”
“It's been 20 years since I was here last, and not much has changed, in a good way. Great food, great burger, love the onion rings.Be ready, cash only, be ready to order, and get pineapple on your burger!Great place. Glad it is still around.Parking: Parking is tough to find.”
“Visiting campus from out of town when I stumbled up this coffee shop. Atmosphere is warm and inviting, got one of the seasonal lattes and empanadas per the barista’s suggestion. Lovely experience ☮️?️✨”
“Three words.... "Just do it". Vibe, atmosphere, service and food... ALL ON POINT!! Chic Chef knows her stuff - the food is incredible and presented like something out of a magazine. I will be recommending this spot to every soul I come in contact with ☺️ ”
“Great little smoothie shop. Many options and decent prices. The person who always works there who I believe is the owner is very friendly and helpful if you aren’t sure what to order from the many options.”
“Best pastries ever! And lemonade - per Alejandro, my 7 year old nephew.We ordered an Elote croissant & the layers in the pastry were absolutely superb! You could smell the butter in both the cookie & croissant, a rareity here in the Valley. Perfect balance of sweetness in the chocolate chip cookie which is something I always look for. We cannot wait to go back. My nephew is looking forward to his “next day off” so he can also join. Thank you!”
“A yummy treat! I always go through the drive-through, and the service is always amazing. The Joe-Latti is always my go to order. I try a different Italian ice flavor every time I go. This time I had sour watermelon and mango tango, and the vanilla ice cream just makes it even better!”
“Have eaten at this restaurant now three times. Each time the service has been great (and quick) and the food was excellent. I feel like it is a very good value. My go to is the spaghetti marinara with grilled shrimp. Has been consistently great each time!”
“If you’re looking for insanely mouthwatering Thai food, this place is it!! My friend got the Pad Thai and I got the Red Curry. The portion size is great and you’ll have plenty for leftovers though it’s tempting to just finish it all in one sitting. The spice level was just right for what I was looking for and the flavors were just bursting. ? Ate my food so fast forgot to take a photo! Will update with photo next time. Customer Service is great too.”
“Been going here a couple times when I'm in the area. The workers here are very knowledgable and nice! Their drinks are amazing, my go to is the CPR with either regular boba or lychee jelly, but if you need help deciding, dont hesitate to ask one of the workers! It's just a nice store and atmosphere. Perfect place to study at because they offer WiFi!”
“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Green New American Vegetarian, and while we enjoyed the overall experience, there were a few hiccups that prevented us from giving it a full five stars. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, and the staff were friendly, but the service was just okay.The main reason for the four-star rating was our order of West Coast fries, which unfortunately arrived drenched in sauce and served cold. This was a bit disappointing as we were looking forward to trying them. However, the saving grace was the deliciousness of our Big WAC burgers. They were flavorful, satisfying, and a definite highlight of the meal. Despite the minor issues with our order, we appreciated the efforts of the staff and the quality of the food overall. With some improvements in service and attention to detail, Green New American Vegetarian has the potential to be a five-star dining destination. We would consider returning in the future, especially for those mouthwatering Big WAC burgers.”
“Our new go-to dinner out spot. Consistently delicious southwestern food, great variety of options, everything is fresh and plated beautifully. The selection of drinks is great too. I suggest starting with the sampler platter entree and arrive early and be patient there is often a wait to get in but it's always worth the wait.”

“The service was very good and food came out quick! The happy hour is a good deal. We also tried the Azusa black and their Curry signature ramens. The "Spicy" level for the Curry Ramen could have been spicier, maybe there was a super spicy version we didn't know about?? Either way everything else was up to par!”
“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. The manager and staff did a great job with our large party (40). Set up a great buffet that was absolutely amazing! 5* no doubt.”
“We love Pedal Haus! We brought two of our macaws to dinner with us tonight and Sam, Sydney, and Nina were so very friendly and accommodating. Sam brought our girls Gypsy and Noel a few French fries on the house! Fun atmosphere, kind employees, and fast service. The food is great too!”
“Best restaurant in Tempe. Great prices, huge portions and friendly staff that really seem to enjoy what they do. It is also open almost 24/7 so you can go at anytime of the day knowing that you will have enough food in your system for atleast 12 hours. They always hook it up fr. Mucho gracias??”
“BEST FOOD EVER. BEST SERVICE! We as a family enjoy the atmosphere and the wonderful service and conversations within the establishment! Definitely recommend been a customer for years!”
“yummy Sushi rolls! we ordered a bunch of different rolls, loved them all and it even came in a boat! super neat experience. nice clean place and everyone was really nice.”
“Great food, fast and good quality. Good selection. Kind staff. Clean place.Had their catering at work two weeks previous so I wanted to try the food in its natural environment. 12/10, will go again.”
“Had the best waiter, Paul. Drinks from bar were outstanding. Love the choice of sides…….so many fresh vegetables prepared nicely. Hubs got the Alaskan Halibut, I got the King Crab legs. We are not opposed to spending money on a nice meal. But for a pound of king Crab Legs at $82 to have the shell soft, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the meat was good, the ends were dried out. I believe they sat in water too long.”
“Interesting menu. Lots of different options, most very healthy sounding. Been here multiple times, almost always for brunch. Service and ambiance are great. The place is cute. The food is really good as well. Some of it is really healthy, some not so much but has great flavor (pasta, sandwiches). Recently we went for lunch in the middle of the week and got the Mexicali quinoa bowl and a Philly cheesecake sandwich with sweet potato fries. Both were sooooooo good. The flavors were on point. The service was very speedy for being in the middle of lunch hour rush.”
“We love Pedal Haus! We brought two of our macaws to dinner with us tonight and Sam, Sydney, and Nina were so very friendly and accommodating. Sam brought our girls Gypsy and Noel a few French fries on the house! Fun atmosphere, kind employees, and fast service. The food is great too!”
“Zzeeks Pizza – where triangles become slices and circles become pizzas, defying all geometry rules. I ordered a large pizza and expected Euclidean perfection, but what I got was a cheesy masterpiece that left my taste buds questioning their existence. It's like they have a PhD in deliciousness. If Pythagoras had tasted Zzeeks, he would've traded his theorems for pepperoni. Prepare for a flavor equation that can't be solved – just devoured!”

“I love coming to Hurts when in town and brought a new person with me. The quality of the donuts are as always fantastic! A bit disappointed in the decrease in size. Very disappointed on the lack of selection. Karley represents your company in a positive light on top of being helpful, kind, and understanding. Karley deserves to be recognized as an outstanding member of your team!!!”
“We came from australia and our family took us to this place, it was excellent service great food, definately will come back again for some delicious mexican food !!!!”
“This is your typical Dennys. Service is prompt, food was as expected, the restaurant was clean and well kept. The parking was a bit limited. Not really for larger trucks , RV's or busses. It's close to my office. So I'm sure I will be back. To add to this . Dennys has reasontly changed their sausage. (near 04/24) It's not as good. Please scan the QR code on the tables, and ask them to go back to the sausage they had prior to 04/24.”
“I've been coming here for awhile and it's my go-to over any other name in town. First, I want to say they need to bring back the dark red salsa they used to have. I think it was guajillo based? But apparently only one employee knew how to make it and kept it a secret? Their red (hot) and green (mild) salsas are good, but I'd like to see more / a medium option. Something roasted chipotle maybe? My reason for finally writing a review is I just had their grilled chicken on their super nachos for the first time, and wow, it's good. I normally get a fish burrito (no tartar sauce add sour cream instead) or something with adobada, or their breakfast burrito for the occasional morning meal, but I'll be getting that grilled chicken more often. Their marinated carrots are also ? and you really can't go wrong here.”
“I had my first Waffle House experience at this location and could not be more delighted.This place is filled with charm and I'm a bit jealous there are non in my area.Likes- full transparency. You get to see the servers working on food. It's amazing that they are responsible for taking orders AND making food- clean environment. I have favorite restaurants back home that aren't as clean as this place- I love the decor and styling. Most chain places have dropped nice touches like tile on the wall.- great prices and filling food. I had the special plate that included grits. The waffles were nice and fluffy and the grits were perfectly cooked with a lovely buttery taste. The bacon was crisp but had chew.- Coke drinks (the Diet coke was very crisp)- our server was very friendly and mostly attentive (I probably would have asked for drink refills if she wasn't so busy).- the flatware is good too. I hate when you go to a place that has great food but the utensils are so rough!Kid-friendliness: my kids love it”
“It's a Waffle House all right. Couldn't tell if the aroma of pot was from the staff were the guests, does it really matter? I mean, it's Waffle House LoL ?”
“This is the in-house evening "restaurant " . Its also part of the bar area, as the full restaurant isn't operational post covid, which is disappointing. The menu is basic but decent. Burgers, chicken, and Mexican stuff. 3 desert options. The proximity to the bar makes it loud but if the company is good, you won't notice. The bar tender is excellent. I keep going back when I stay at this hotel. It does need to be open earlier than 5pm, which is a drawback as there is no lunch available at this hotel.”
“The bacon, pancakes, and hash browns were great, the eggs were a little burnt, and the toast was drowning in butter. Their sign outside is not lit, they had half the restaurant closed off but the service was good”
“I visited the Whatabuger location at 1800 W. Elliot Road, Tempe, Arizona at noon on a Friday. The drive thru was backed up, so I went inside to order. Two guys entered right before me and they told the employee at the register that they had an app pickup, then they stepped aside. She went behind the wall and I stepped up to the counter and waited while she never returned. It seemed like a really long time, but in reality, it was probably only a minute before someone else (with a Manager badge) stepped up to the register and started taking my order and the orders of the people who were in the line forming behind me. I ordered the Green Chile Burger Meal which came with medium fries and medium drink. The total after taxes was $12.31. The manager gave me my receipt and a number tent along with an empty drink cup. I walked up the soda fountain, got ice and lemonade. I sat down at a table with my number tent and only about a minute later, a guy brought my food to me along with some ketchup for the fries. The Green Chile Double burger was hot, fresh and delicious. The green chile was tasty but not spicy. The fries were hot and fresh as well. The lobby was clean and the trash cans were ready for the lunch rush.”
“A native New Yorker (Fordham section in the Bronx) recently moved to Arizona...Gus's pizza is spot on!! Others imitate, but Gus's New York Pizza, subs, wings, etc. are a real taste of authentic Italian cuisine!! Made me feel at home. The food was delicious, the friendly service and delivery were awesome!! I found their flyer on my door...I took a chance, ordered and they did NOT disappoint!! I'm a fan...and will recommend to anyone who wants a taste of real New York Pizza!! Thanks for the warm welcome to Arizona!!”
“We were glad to find a Filiberto's open late near our hotel. Gigi and I enjoy the good flavor of their Mexican food and generous portions. We split our favorite, a bacon and egg burrito. It's large and tasty. Gigi commented that this location was very clean.”
“I'm always satisfied with the food here. It's always prepared the way I ask and service is always prompt even with a line that wraps around the building.”
“Coming here either morning or night is a great way to get the fast food cravings taken care of. Their breakfast options are great and the taste/quality is much better than the competition. While serving great coffee and fresh hash browns, the staff has always been very friendly and fast. I recommend this jack in the box for anyone in the area!”
“Most efficient whataburger I’ve ever been to!! Stacey was wonderful and so helpful and friendly, whatever they’re paying her she deserves a raise! Will definitely be back again!”
“I got Nacho Fries as a mobile order, the guy taking my order said they had just ran out of fries, and were making some right now. He was kind enough to give me a water while I waited. 10/10 customer service, had another guy bring the fries out to me within 5 mins.”
“The wings, the Mac n Cheese, and the purple cake were absolutely delicious. This is not the same same vegan food we had 10 years ago. Everything is fresh and delicious, plus it’s healthy. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about their menu, and the energy of the place was cheerful yet laid back. I highly recommend this restaurant and their food truck Trash Panda Vegan ?Vegetarian options: Everything in their menu is vegan. ?Parking: Free parkingKid-friendliness: Spacious spaceWheelchair accessibility: No steps, easy access”
“This was a quaint brewery with a nice outdoor patio. They have food trucks too if you need a snack. Good selection of a variety of beers from IPAs to a stout. Bartender was nice.”
“Good food with a nice variety of menu items, great beer selection (both draft and in the cooler), and solid non-beer offerings in wine and cocktails. The dog-friendly patio is a great place to spend time almost all year round with complete shade along with fans, misters and heaters, depending on the season.”
Takeout Restaurants
“It's an In-n-Out Burger. They are all basically 5 stars. Great service, food made the way you ask for it, and the speed they can move a lunch crowd out is what every other fast food place should strive for. They hire motivated people who are polite and courteous. They greet you with a smile, double-check your order, and actually give you what you asked for minus any attitude. The state of fast food in this country has gotten so bad that we rarely eat anywhere except In-n-Out. My cardiologist won't be too happy, but he won't complain as I believe I pay his country club dues.Parking: Large lot, but at lunch you may need to be patient.”
“This place is GOLD! I have not had a meal with this much flavor in a very long time. We tried it two weeks ago and keep coming back because the flavors are authentic and we just cannot get enough of the street food. If you just like Thai, you’ll love it after trying this place.”
“Good coffee, but it took a long time....but means they took great care in making the drinks. Just make sure you have enough time. Chocolate croissant was one of the best we ever had!”
“We stopped in for the first time yesterday. What a fun place for a beer and burger! The outdoor patio was cool and comfortable. I look forward to returning soon!”
“This place is a gem complete absolute gem amazing workers, amazing food full-blown unbelievable this is not a chain even though there’s three of them, you can come here and you can know that you’re having fresh fresh amazing food!!!!!$$$$$$$”
“Goth night?! Yes please! This restaraunt is still my all time favorite. Incredible concept and execution. I'm never disappointed when I share this place with a friend- and neither are they!”
“I used to always pick up food from here during the covid lockdown of 2020. The shawarma plate is so good, well balanced, plentiful meal, for cheap. The staff was always very nice to me. Also try their flatbreads.. only good things to say about this place.”
“Yupha’s Thai is a local favorite Thai food restaurant. This is one of the best Thai places I have been around Chandler. This is a very busy place I had takeout and dine in couple of times.I tried various dishes from this places they don’t fail to keep up quality or flavors. They cater to various spice levels I really love their Thai spice blend. I love their mango sticky rice.Overall it’s a great Thai place”
“LOVE everything about vietshack. Their food is great (and very affordable), the atmosphere is great, staff are extremely courteous and respectful, and their coffee is *chef’s kiss*. 10/10 recommend, please go visit if you haven’t!”
“Walked to the restaurant for dinner and enjoyed the experience sitting outside on the patio (although the traffic on University was noisy at times). The Carnitas Tacos were very good with the spicy pear and cream sauce while the side sweet potato fries were perfectly light and crispy. The tacos menu item came with two tacos--a third taco addition option would be nice. The Mushroom Melt was a coin flip. Kids menu items were good. There's also a nice beer list available with some local brews on tap.Service was attentive and accommodating. A very nice experience overall.”
“Best hamburgers I’ve tasted in a long time, so creative, different ingredients, Polar bear, ice cream, hamburger, who would’ve thought of that, taste was unbelievable , A lot of other burgers to try , will try on the next visit Thanks 5st Burgers burger!!”
“THE NICEST STAFF IVE EVER MET!! OH MY LORD! It's worth it just for the attitude the lovely man in the front brings in! And the fro yo is fro yoing! Adding the extra expresso shot is ”
“Starting to become my goto lunch place. Food is always fresh, pricing is fair, app rewards, folks are fast and friendly. If you don’t like fish, they have a spicy ginger chicken that slaps too. Oh, and they have a lot of topping and sauces to try. I would show pictures, but I ate everything already.”
“An Eating Experience , fresh , spotless, and delicious. The Owners are Royal and makes it feel like grandma’s kitchen where our love with food began. The servers know what you want added and make sure your dish is served piping hot. A magnificent restaurant.”
“I couldn’t believe it that it’s only $9.99! That’s for each of the menu they have. This is a fast food restaurant and when I came it was only for drive in, seems like they were renovating. It was real lobster by the way ? and pretty good! I’ll be back!”
“Good layout and seating. Open air and patio are nice. The service was really good. The beer list is decent but two things that kept me from a 5 star is that they only can Two of their beers and have no NA beers they brew(they have standard options but nothing from them)”
“Ok, I read the reviews and trusted them. Not only did they hit the head the nail on the head, but they accurately described the freshness, taste and presentation. I'm here to add my own take on this ceviche heaven. First of all, if it weren't for their location, we would be here much more often, but we live way out on the West side. Will that keep us from making the drive, no way! This fully satisfied my culinary cravings. The seafood is so fresh, you may think you are beachside at the best restaurant on the coast. Like a resort??? No, it's a typical ma & pop establishment, but their service and smiles easily put it up there with the best 5 stars out there, especially in the desert! Their array of hot sauces (pictured) enhance your experience and I felt like I was eating at least 7 different dishes. Try them all! The server check on us at least THREE times to see how we were doing. Toward he asked if we needed a box, my wife said "yes", I looked at him as if I said, "hold my beer, I got this"! If you are on the East side or picking up friends and family from the airport, don't cheat yourself of this hidden gem. If you live on the West side, please get some takeout for us! I'm torn between getting the word out and keeping it all to myself! But, these guys earn a top shout out for the best ceviche I've ever had. Good job guys!!!”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect of this place when I went here the first time but I came away impressed. This is the only place I can think of that actually makes crispy onion rings, and they do not disappoint. The fries are also very well seasoned and the staff is really friendly and incredibly punctual. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a quick yummy bite to eat, because these guys do a good job.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I am very pleased with this service every time I visit! I’ve been a coming here often for a few months now. I typically go through the drive thru, but the servers today, Daniel and Lily, came by a couple of times to check in on me and my family’s food, chatting it up with us and asking how the our day so far has been. Afterwards they were kind enough to offer taking our finished trays away :) I always get uplifting vibes from the workers, but today was outstanding seeing the extra mile and dedication. The hospitality exceeds most other restaurant expectations. I noticed them cleaning tables right after everyone was finished. We will for sure be dining in more often. The food is always fantastic, and trusted to be fresh. You can view the cooks from the food counter as well. This restaurant is a must-visit!”
“it was a really fun experience. it was like stepping back into the 50s again or what I would imagine the 50s to be. the burgers were everything. and they do get you in and ouy”
“Obsessed with this place, the coffee is so good, and the staff is always friendly and sweet. I would go every day if I could afford to. I love both iced and hot coffee and they make my special order perfect every time.”
“The service here is amazing and they move the line quickly with a sense of urgency. Always friendly smiling faces and go out of their way to make sure they make your order correctly. For full transparency, I am not a fan of the coffee drinks. I have tried them all and just can't seem to find the right flavor or mix to actually taste and feel the coffee. It reminds me of Dunkin Donuts where it's sugar and milk with a hint of coffee. I have never tried the other energy flavored drinks but I see many people in mine buy them and hope to try them in the near future.Parking: Tons of parking and a great drive thru.”
“Getting coffee here is very popular. Don’t be in a hurry because most likely there will be a line. The baristas are very helpful. Recommend the next time you I South Scottsdale Ave.”
“It was my first time there and it didn't disappoint. The place is huge, tons of open seating even though it was a busy Saturday lunchtime. Service was quick and efficient, and the wait was fairly short. The food was excellent, I got a pair of hotdogs with the works, the wieners themselves had a good snap when you bit into it. Will definitely try the meat sandwich next time, it looked delicious.”
“Food was good.service needed some improvement.took a bit to get seated .wase busy. the waitress rolled her eyes when we asked for more lemon for are refills of iced tea.”
“I love this place! I have been eating here since they were on southern. Then baseline and now where they are currently. I love the bomberro and the menudo is so great! Its the closest to mom's homemade I can find!”
“We love this place! We found out about it from a gym friend and tried it out.... and now we're addicted ha. Gotta try the protein shakes and I usually get the traditional breakfast burrito w/ ”
“Went for lunch with my parents as they are accustomed to Culver's in the Midwest. Still a fast food place. It was clean and our cashier was great! Had a sense of humor and our order came out correctly.”
“A great experience! Mediterranean food and it was real good. My wife had the salmon dish and I had the Mahi. They staff were always making sure the customers were looked after. Very nice decor. I would highly recommend this to anyone!”
“We don't frequent coffee shops we don't drink it alot but was really feeling like some coffee and stopped by your store and was happily treated by Brandon S. He was at the window and such a wonderful greeting he was so nice, friendly, we really thought what a happy person he was and he made our day A little better, just got out of our vet with a sick cat and Brandon made us feel a lot better thank you Brandon S. For being you we will definitely come back .. you rock. KATHY AND DENISE”
“Nice and quiet early in the morning and love that they have a 5am open time. Chai latte was delicious and the barista was very friendly and quick! Will definitely return!”
“Staff is warm and friendly. I tried the Carmelizer and it is my new to go drink. It is a blend of epresso, chocolate milk and carmel sauce. I opted out of the whipped cream. You definitely need to try it.”
“First time ever visiting a Black Rock Coffee Bar. Love when staff takes time to help me chose a coffee with their helpful opinions and insights. Nice atmosphere.”
“Brooke and Ronnie were great to chat with while having a nice cold tall glass of Stella. Great environment and awesome staff. First time in and definitely a new go to spot in the future!”
“Im from Louisiana, my husband and I stumbled across your restaurant in Sedona. I absolutely love all italian food but have a severe Dairy allergy. not only was the service spectacular but the food was heavenly. I was so excited to have found this gem, that on our 3 day weekend we came back for a 2nd meal near Phoenix. Now 6 months later we are still talking about Picazzos and are planning a trip to return when we come back to Arizona in May!!!”
“Wonderful beers with a mix of rotating taps and annual favorites. Tim and John are always smiling, and the entire place is dog friendly. Bring in food (tons of great options nearby, we've seen some folks have food delivered) or look for scheduled food trucks.”

“Mmm… the photo does not do the experience justice. Groovy Snooze, in the heart of the city's student district, is a nice escape from the golf and cowboy hat-wearing folks closer to the city. Tempe is a land of nose-piercing progressivism, yet this place offers everything for the discriminating vegan or carnivore. For me, the delight was the habanero pork belly bacon - four spicy, thick bits of pig that balanced splendidly with the sweet pineapple upside-down pancakes. One serving was enough for me, and it was served in a creamy cinnamon sauce with a dollop of cinnamon butter in the middle. All so good! Our friendly waiter kept the coffee mugs and water glasses filled. It's a way better option than the chains, and the prices are around the same.”
“You cannot go wrong at Haji Baba. it's hands down my favorite restaurant in AZ or maybe probably my #1 overall. the customer service is great too! GET THE ROSEWATER LEMONADE!!”
“Really good, especially the protein pancakes! We got the half and half, and I'm so full I won't have to eat for a week! Which is good, since it cost half of what I'd spend on groceries for a week! When reviews say it's pricey... Believe them. (But, really... What isn't any more? ??)”
“First time in, and we were greeted with such warmth and kindness. They explained all their food items and really made us feel welcomed. Incredible service, atmosphere, and food.”
“Forefathers has the Best cheesesteaks in town. Possibly even the best anywhere west side of the Mississippi.A tad more orocey than other fast service joints but you get 10x the bang for your buck.”
“Amazing Ethiopian food with great lunch options. Spicy option is the way to go!Parking: Strip mall parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking with ramp”
“Could not rave about this place more. 10/10 been coming here since they opened and have brought all of my friends . The owner will be there any and every time you go. He CARES and puts in all of the time and effort and it shows in the food. It’s all fantastic and made from scratch! And what’s even better, he will remember you. Doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been there, he will remember your name and order. What are you waiting for??! The best gem to come into this neighborhood!! They will always have my business!Vegetarian options: There are a bunch of vegetarian options, but if you tell the owner (the one taking your order) that you are vegetarian he will make suggestions and adjustments so that you have the best experience possible.”
“We had a great experience at the diner. Stopped in for some breakfast, had fast service to get us to our table, waiter was fantastic, and food was served hot and in large portion. Ambiance was a diner experience, would recommend”
“Fantastic sandwich. Best meal I had in my entire 4 days here in Arizona for a work trip. The manager there was very dedicated to making sure our sandwiches were made right.”
“Took some out of town friends with another couple over the weekend. It was a first visit for everyone. No one left hungry! I actually had breakfast 2 more days with just my leftovers. The mushroom sauce is amazing. Green chili had excellent flavor, but a little mild…I like it spicy! We will defiantly be back!”
“Manager at the thunderbird location is very rude! Today he snatched food out of a customers hand and threw it in the trash after yelling at the girl, when they messed up her order.. Never going back after that behavior..”
“These are the best donuts I have ever had! Literally better than even any place in Arizona and Cali. The variety is great and consistently fresh. The donuts are even good saved for the next day. The customer service is great and it is a fun place for kids to pick out donuts. I will be a lifetime customer.”
“My coworkers and I came for breakfast because we had meetings during lunch time and needed some comfort food and we weren't disappointed.I had the eggs Benedict and my coworker had the farm skillet and we shared because we were both torn between the two dishes. It was a great choice. Great service and like I said the food was delicious. Only downside would be the parking but is worth it.”
“Excellent ramen. Best we've had in Arizona so far. I had the Yatai ramen and my wife had the Tokyo shoyu ramen. Both were amazing. The parking is scarce. The place is tiny but we will definitely come back for more!”
“I love Steve's- it's a short walk from my house and is a great place to take myself for an artist's date! People go there to have conversations, to write, to play cards, to create. It's wonderful. I'm especially fond of their breakfast sandwich on a croissant and their classic. The baristas are the best.”
“A small but pleasant establishment. The food is good, but the cocktail are not great. I've been multiple times when they did not have ingredients for featured cocktails. Last time I was there, I asked for a spicy margarita. They had nothing to spice it up except jalepenos from the kitchen. The taste of the drink was not very good.”
“My girlfriend and I love doing Sunday Brunches and decided to give the cafe a try. I'm soooooo glad we did...the food and drinks were DELICIOUS!!! We had the avocado toast, a turkey sausage omelette, parmesan herb potatoes, and prickly pear mimosas. The ambiance is also very nice and welcoming. Can't wait to go back.”
“Any time I've bene here, I have had a good experience. The espresso is tasty, the employees are all very kind and hardworking, and overall the vibe is very pleasant, super good 'coffee shop' feel. Super conducive to both studying or a carefree afternoon.”
“yummy Sushi rolls! we ordered a bunch of different rolls, loved them all and it even came in a boat! super neat experience. nice clean place and everyone was really nice.”
“Had the best waiter, Paul. Drinks from bar were outstanding. Love the choice of sides…….so many fresh vegetables prepared nicely. Hubs got the Alaskan Halibut, I got the King Crab legs. We are not opposed to spending money on a nice meal. But for a pound of king Crab Legs at $82 to have the shell soft, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the meat was good, the ends were dried out. I believe they sat in water too long.”
“the owners use to own got sushi in east mesa. my 1st experience to " sashimi" the freshest and best that I have e experienced in the last 6 yrs. Check out their new location you wont be disappointed. the freshest you will ever have!!”
“Amazing day this place is a great neighborhood find for football, great drinks and awesome food, the regulars are nice and welcoming. You should come check it out! We will definitely be back!”
“The food and service was outstanding. We will definitely be back because of Ethan the bartender. thank you for this amazing experience.Vegetarian options: Has it some.Dietary restrictions: Has it all.Parking: Has it all.Kid-friendliness: Has it all.Wheelchair accessibility: Has it all.”
“Priscilla has been the most best server I've ever had. I've had horrible experience before at other restaurants and outback service have been so amazing!”
“It was nice go find a place where there was a variety form of entertainment besides just watching television: we got pool tables, dart games, music, and it wasn't all sports when it came to watching TV, we got something for everyone. Went to check out the atmosphere and drink, stayed long enough to enjoy the food. Good service all around.”
“Just ate with our Grandson and we had a Great time. Hubby got the meatloaf and Loved it! Our Grandson and I ordered the largest pancake (Blueberry) We all left Stuffed! Thanks for another great experience”
“Absolutely amazing sushi, and all the other food! Very low key atmosphere and the waiters and waitresses are always very nice. I love the all you can eat, theres so much to choose from! I will continue to go here always!”
“This charming spot offers a delightful selection of classic American dishes, with a twist of Mexican-inspired breakfast options that truly elevate the menu. While the service is good, be prepared for a bit of a wait on busy days. The dining area is well-maintained, with clean tables, though some may find the plastic table covers a bit off-putting—though, in the grand scheme of things, it's a minor detail. Overall, it's a great breakfast spot worth visiting.”
“Pretty good overall! Came in without a reservation on a Friday night and was seated in about 20 minutes.Laid back environment with professional wait staff. Food was 4/5, but the service was very very good.4/5 overall.”
“Saturday I spent the afternoon with some of the BEST people ??? We did a tour and tasting with AZ Distilling Co in Tempe and it did NOT disappoint. I learned a LOT, sampled multiple spirits, and their gin is probably the first gin I actually could tolerate and very unique. Olivia, their Production Assistant/Tour Guide and the entire staff were absolutely phenomenal ?? The specialty cocktails were also handcrafted, unique and delicious! Owner Jason has amazing networking, something special and big things are to come! Excited for the Mesa location. Definitely check them out ??”
“Probably one of, if not the best coffee roaster in the valley. Cortez is the only roaster with direct access to 3-5 Costa Rican farms, providing beans just unavailable to most other roasteries. Second they use traditional air roasters and degas their beans for 4-7 days before bagging. If you're a coffee head, this is your place. If you're happy with the grocery store, sample their coffees slowly with an open mind. Cortez coffee is to grocery store coffee, what Hershey's is to fine swiss chocolate.Just to ponder:Cortez has coffee that tastes like cherries and chocolate (with no sugar added), apricot and spice, cardamom and clove - basically flavors I didn't know could exist in coffee or anywhere. It's an other worldly experience. I'm a little hesitant sharing this, I don't want my favorite coffee roaster to change!!Note:As of November 2023, one of their suppliers suddenly passed away, they should have a new shipment in before or first week of March 24.”
“I tried this place in the past didn’t like that the jollof rice wasn’t spicy…. I recently tried again and called owner before hand and he was very nice I requested for my rice to be extra spicy and I was soooo impressed by how spicy my food was very delicious I will be a regular customers thanks so much for making accommodations for me ? ?”
“Wow. I loved this place! Kira was our waitress and she did an amazing job guiding us through the big menu! Her service was above and beyond what we normally get elsewhere. You can tell she loves helping customers choose from all they have to offer! The burnt ends and brisket was out of this world and the mac and cheese woooah. Fun and cool environment with such good food. Can’t wait to go back to try the drinks and other goodies. Recommend 10/10”
“We had a good brunch for Easter. The pancakes are eggless for vegetarians and they were very good. Everybody loved their choices. I'll go back and try the vegetarian nachos next time. Still good. Way too much food.”
“Thank you to the amazing team at Terra Tempe Kitchen for helping make my wedding day so special. I eloped and wanted to treat my 10 guests to dinner, it was convenient to have dinner at the hotel we would be staying at. The team at Terra went above and beyond to accommodate us. They worked with me to create my own menu, stored my wedding cake, seated us in a private area and decorated the table, service was amazing, food was great, and they even cut and served my wedding cake. 10 out of 10 experience, I couldn’t be more appreciative.”
“The Dhaba once again dazzeled, which is why this is my go to Indian food place in Tempe. I ordered a take out order for Ramadan iftar. The guy on the phone said come in 30 minutes, which was perfect timing for iftar. I arrived gave my name for the order and the gentleman at the counter asked me how my Ramadan was going, had the food ready, I paid, got home in time to eat. Mashallah.I ordered Butter Chicken, 5 plain naan, and chole bhature. The food was awesome and had the right amount of spice and danced in my mouth.So, if you want Indian food with timely service then look no further.”
“Came on a Wednesday. 4 girls celebrating a promotion and we were the only ones there. The service was great food was great but music was not. We asked several times to get the music changed but they wouldn't. Hopefully next time there is better music. Even the radio is better!”
“These guys are great. I messed up my online order and they straightened it out without issue. The food was fantastic and we are now regulars....Thanks to the S. Mill st. location in Tempe....”
“Fantastic atmosphere, food & drinks - we loved it! We dined at the Scottsdale location and had CJ as our “tour guide” - he was phenomenal, as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“We were so happy that the hostess was able to seat us without a reservation!! We have a wonderful experience at Caffe Boa from the amazing service to the top notch food! Our lovely waitress, Ruth was a gem. She was professional but welcomed us and made us feel at home. Our meal came out quickly. I had the Ros Marino chicken which came with a delicious lemon caper sauce over a half of a chicken, which was perfectly cooked. The side of crispy but light golden potatoes soaked up the amazing sauce. My husband got the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce was light and smooth and the meatballs were tender and moist. We topped it off with a glass of Perinni primativo which complimented the meal perfectly.It was a great meal!!!”
“We went to a movie-themed dinner, of Pixar, not knowing what to expect, and were totally blown away. The Chef that night and his team put so much thought and effort into the event. The food and drinks were remarkable and creative, each dish and drink "wowed" us more than the last. Everyone was engaging, they also did raffles for some Pixar items, and the atmosphere was very lively. The wait staff was very patient, kind, and helpful. I stopped to chat with the chef after the event, and he's incredibly nice. We are excited to go again for another event!”
“As always it was and has always been an excellent experience. Texas Roadhouse is by far my favorite place to eat drink and relax until they break the saddle out on your birthday but its all in good fun. I always get the Steak and Rib combo and the bread is amazing and when you take out the family it is reasonably priced. Tempe off of Warner and I10Kid-friendliness: My grandson loves it when they dance because one of the girls always grabs him and line dances with him. He loves it”
“LOVED this place!! Fish was fresh & rolls were fantastic! My favorite was the chili hamachi roll. Happy hour $5 mules on a Monday, they had many different flavors to choose from which was cool! Waitress was super nice & the place was clean. I can’t wait to come back & try more rolls!”
“Most awesome food people atmosphere and its healthy super foods as well! It all starts with Acai Berrys. You will only regret NOT stopping in to experience this amazing food!”
“Love Philly’s. Had the chicken cheese steak and it was awesome. Taste just like an authentic Philly cheese steak. Watching all the March madness games And the service is top ”
“Went to this restaurant for the first time and it was amazing!! Great good, but better than that, the server Rebecca was absolutely incredible. The most hardworking server I've ever seen!!! Be patient with her because she's often running things by herself, but you'll still wait for nothing. Amazing service, amazing food. Highly recommend.”
“Get ready to eat with gloves on! This place is delicious. Your food comes in a bag. It's cooked so well and it's delicious. Have some fun and experience it.”
“I am.a very picky person when it comes to eating sushi, i was a bit iffy about actually trying it from this place. I took the risk to actually go all out. A few of my coworkwrs otsered from here and so i dodnt wanna be that guy being diffilcult with all of us getting food. And to my surprise i was very satisfied. One thing that will keep me coming bacj is how they are very generous with the salmon, tuna ....”
“I love this place! I almost always get the same thing - spicy tuna roll and Las Vegas roll - but I have brought friends here and they’ve ordered other things and loved them, too.Be aware they’re closed on Sunday and Monday so don’t get excited about heading there on those days.”
“Had a great time here when visiting. The restaurant is really at the Top of the Rock. I was in town for a conference. We sat on the inside the decor is nice. Would have loved to visit during a warmer month and sat outside. The patio overlooks the city, and the views are amazing. Found out later that the light at the table is how we call the waiter. We order a variety of different things from the menu. The consensus was that the food was great. Everyone ate everything, especially the chicken and donuts with jalenpeno creme. Would have like a better portion size but would return here.”
“I went there a few days ago with a bunch of coworkers, I had the tostada with a mango and avocado ceviche it was delicious. I also had a frozen mango margarita also delicious.The service was also great as well, so I will return again, and it just happens to be about less than a mile from my company!”
“My bf and i’s favorite kbbq spotThe staff are very attentive and helpfulThe food is delicious and well flavoredThey have a wide array of side dishes for every palateThe spicy pork bulgogi is my favorite”
“Went for the breakfast buffet and was quite happy. Service was great and the view was amazing. Nice when a buffet includes juice, found most don't a charge extra. Food was decent decent but what they lack in food they make up for in service and scenery. Price was high for the limited buffet menu but this place you're really paying for thr view. Didn't realize the Angles spring training was on the opposite side of the hotel during the time I am visiting this area so had to pay for parking but valet was the same price so treated myself. Overall experience was good and will return.Parking: Parking was occupied for spring training. Super friendly valet helped me out by charging same as what I'd pay to park and walk from a long walk away, basically parked as close as to the entrance as possible to the restaurant. And who wants to walk far after and all you can eat buffet.”
“This is an excellent restaurant. Small, with polite and very helpful staff and excellent food. For the price, the food quantity and quality was incredible. The decor could use some work, however, this is still a great Mediterranean place and I'd highly recommend this place!”
“Food was fresh. Waitress was friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet. My family and I have been there before and we will be going back again.”
“Love Jerry's 60's style diner with smash burgers and old fashioned dining experience like when I was a kid. Unfourtunatley the Jerry's in Phoenix is now closed. It will be very missed.”
“For a "back home" experience, this place has all Detroit decor. They don't offer a lot of healthy food, but I didn't expect that due to the name. Several years ago, this place was mentioned in a food magazine about eating in all 50 states without leaving AZ. I tried it, loved it, keep coming back. (The one in downtown Phoenix is a bit cramped but also worth a trip.)About a month ago, they added new menu items. My cousin was with me and said the Sun Devil Chicken was delicious. My Philly was also tasty. It's usually the same guys behind the counter whenever I go in, so I know what to expect. They may not recognize me, but they always treat me well.”
“This one is decent. Great location. Not much else to write about they have basically the same stuff as every other location. Updated from previous review on 2023-09-18”
“I really like the atmosphere of the Culinary Dropout, unfortunately this evening was louder than other times - with a lot of children screaming and carrying on. Certainly not the fault of the establishment, however unfortunately it did have an impact on our experience. Food was tremendous, Steak and frites cooked perfectly. Service was good as well.”
“This place was not very authentic Mexican food, but the food overall was very good. The service was excellent. Vicente was our server and he did a great job. Overall great experience.”
“This was place was solid ! Loved my pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. Portions were generous for the price. I’ll admit the macaroni was creamy but lacked flavor. It gets the job done, so not too many complaints. Loved the beans and cornbread as sides.”
“This is definitely the best place to eat on the ASU Tempe Campus. Probably the only place where you can find healthy options. They have a rooftop seating area which is nice when the weather is just right. It is very fast and good quality healthy food. They have a limited menu of around 5-6 options, but that's the reason that the food and service are fast. Drinks, coffee, and snacks are included and you can help yourself - snacks-wise, you can grab a plate of freshly made seasoned chips while you wait for your order. I will keep going back here as it is a nice lunch spot and always reliability fast in between a busy schedule. Recommended!”
“Just visited the brand new taproom yesterday—all very well put-together. The owners and the service were great and the product is even better! I’ve never had such a difficult time narrowing down a favorite (favorites) after trying them all. Each cider was a standout on its own and the charcuterie board was great! We’ll be frequent customers!”
“One of the best places in Tempe to have Sushi and also Poke bowls.There is always availability, staff is always super smily and friendly and generally good music.Kid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Si”
“Great place to shop. We have saved enough just in gas prices to pay for our membership! Friendly employees and quick service. Very good prices in the store and many times the samples they serve help me decide whether or not to purchase the items being sampled.”
“The Bodhi is one of my all time favourite places to eat in Arizona. With menu items that are crafted by expert nutritionists, it not only is some of the best tasting food I've tried, but I feel like I am glowing after eating there, consistently and without fail. It feels as though my body is thanking me over and over again continually for nourishing it so well. I have only experienced this rarely at other places, without consistency. Also, if you are vegan/vegetarian, the options provided have much to offer! I cannot speak highly enough of this place and would certainly eat there every day if I had the means to. If you have never tried it please waste no time and go give it a shot! I am confident you will be impressed. Finally, besides having top notch menu items, they also offer house made juices and other drinks that are simply divine. Love you so much Bodhi!! <3.”
“I had the chicken quesadilla with quacamole and sour cream! It cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The quacamole was basic but the quesadilla made up for it.”
“This place is a lot better than Old Town Scottsdale. Not racist, not sweating you for what clothes you're wearing, and the drinks are normal prices, not $ 18 bucks for a 12 once Michalob Ultra.”
“I am a fan of afternoon tea so I knew I had to try Drink Me Tea Room out! I went with the kiddo and my friend who is a fan of Alice in Wonderland and we went down the rabbit hole to try some vegan delights with a pot of loose leaf. The interior is so adorable, with all the unique little Alice in Wonderland art and decor. Your check is even presented in an Alice in Wonderland themed book! Off we went down the rabbit hole! My friend and I had the full tea and the little one had the literary tea, which is a smaller selection of goodies. For those that don't want tea they also offer mocktails and cocktails. I chose my tea mainly because it had color changing properties. It was a vanilla green tea with blue pea powder. I could definitely taste the vanilla flavor and you squeeze some slices of lemon to make it change color. While I really enjoyed seeing the change in colors when adding the acid, with the amount of lemon juice I needed to add to change the color of the tea my cups ended up tasting more like hot lemon water with a hint of vanilla rather than tea leaves. The kiddo had an herbal tea which got a thumbs up from her. The selection of sweets and sandwiches is varied and while I appreciated that they were vegan, some were more well executed than others. Some of the sandwiches were a little too salty for my tastes and the tart, while delicious, had a super runny jam filling so it was hard to eat it without fruit goo running down your hands. Service was great and we were checked up on as needed. Overall this is a great option for afternoon tea. I'd definitely come here again. Details: - In the Great Harvest Bread/Garcia's/Verizon plaza - Reservations required (Sign up online) - Non refundable $20 deposit required with reservation and is deducted from your check after service - PRICING PER PERSON $58 Wonderland Full Afternoon Tea $40 Literary Tea(*) $45 Tipsy Tea (* and 1 cocktail) $36 Double Savory (no sweets) $36 Sweets Tray (no savories) - Special focus on sustainable, local, and organic products”
“fresh & was good & super filling. I got the two scoops bowl with salmon and spicy tuna. Helpful staff, chill place, I did notice that some of the tables looked like they could've been wiped off a bit better tho.”
“Was in Tempe and decided to try the fish and shrimp combo after I saw the reviews on Instagram. The red snapper was so good and well seasoned. The shrimp was out of this world. I’m definitely going back”
“I’ve been eating here since it was called Royal Taj. Stumbled upon this place one day and have been eating here ever since and that was over ten years ago. Their food is amazing.”
“We had the pleasure of visiting Kobe for the first time tonight in over a decade. We could not be more impressed. Several times my husband mentioned “it was the best night ever.” I made reservations (for 9 of us) ahead of time and had zero wait and were impressed by the friendly service and exciting hibachi show. Highly recommend the filet and scallops and the langostino hand roll.We had NY strip steak, filet mignon, chicken, shrimp and scallops, and it was all super, soft, delicious and packed with flavor.Our chef sure out on an eventful dinner show. The kids LOVED IT. The onion train was just the best. I am so happy this place is operating like it used to be and that it survived the pandemic. Can't wait to come back for the next celebration!”
“Great buffet style, nice friendly wait staff, our first time there but many patrons appear to be frequent flyers. Suggest a little sign describing for content or ingredients for the uninitiated ☺️”
“This is the in-house evening "restaurant " . Its also part of the bar area, as the full restaurant isn't operational post covid, which is disappointing. The menu is basic but decent. Burgers, chicken, and Mexican stuff. 3 desert options. The proximity to the bar makes it loud but if the company is good, you won't notice. The bar tender is excellent. I keep going back when I stay at this hotel. It does need to be open earlier than 5pm, which is a drawback as there is no lunch available at this hotel.”
“Very chill place for Sunday Brunch, the vibes were nice and the staff are efficient. Food was very good, just was a hit or miss on the potatoes which is totally fine. The 1-cent champagne is a very smart marketing move I love the concept. I am definitely gonna visit ”
“This place is super good we got wings and a pizza for the five of us and we all loved it. We ordered for delivery it came in good time and we will be recommending it.”
“This is quite literally the best golf course I've been too Mike is very helpful. the course is challenging but exciting. Every moment is suspenseful and exciting. The course is catered to bothe beginners and experienced players. I will definitely be Corning back again. love this course.”
“Can't go wrong with Lou's! The pies were great as usual, just like back home in Chi-Town. First time getting the wings and they were outstanding. Finished it all off with a great cookie sundae that we devoured.”
“We got to witness an amazing interaction yesterday where customers were screaming at the servers while their children were with them. I will never understand what makes people feel like they can talk to servers like that. It’s a bar, it has solid food, and some decent drink specials. Like any other bar you will staff based on how busy it typically is. If you notice only 1 or 2 servers on at any bar or restaurant be patient and be respectful.”
“Jordan was our server today and it was amazing. The service he gave was absolutely fantastic. He considered all three of us at the table, he gave of the best recommendations, never was an awkward moment, and he gave the funniest jokes. Thank you again to Jordan, definitely will have to come back.”
“I love eating at Kneaders! Their sandwhiches are otherworldly especially the chicken pesto! I got my order today and unfortunately they forgot the sausage that was on my order. I hadn’t noticed until I got back home, so it’s essentially my fault for not checking. The food I did get was excellent and I’m looking forward to eating there several more times in the future!”
“The price of the food was decent until I got a cold pressed juice that cost 6.99 for like 4 oz. Yikes! I ordered me a teriyaki bowl that had little flavor, but tasted very fresh. Glad they have suitable options and a tofu option for protein that I may indulge on. Would recommend making the teriyaki sauce stinger and less watery. Oh yeah, I have it 4 stars, despite the price, they placed my order in a compostable tray! WIN!”
“We arrived just as they opened and we ordered to go but asked for the ice cream capped baklava to savor while we waited. They were delish. We drove home with the food and what a treat! Everything was labeled and tasted wonderful! Highly recommend!”
“I love this place! Always have pool tables and options for 7 or 9 feet! Drinks a good, service is great! Quality tables and balls ⏸️ pause highly recommendParking: No issuesKid-friendliness: NoWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Our first time with family was great! The food was delicious ?. Though service could have been better, we appreciated the atmosphere ? to relax with fresh breeze eating by the water. We will definitely come again. My husband chose the restaurant; I questioned at first, but I am glad he chose it. Every dish was very fresh.”
“Went with a small group for lunch. All was great, and then the manager put our second round of drinks on hold until we finished the first. But then never released them to get made. None of us were showing any indications of having much of anything to drink. So I guess don't expect to be treated like you know your own responsibilities at lunchtime.Dietary restrictions: Our pescatarian colleague found plenty to order.”
“I came here during the Art festival in March 2024 as it was pretty close to my hotel. We waited a few minutes so the staff could get a table ready for us and then another 5-10 before the waitress came to take our drink order. I know they were busy and maybe under staffed, so I am not mad at the wait. My wife ordered a half dozen of the oysters but I am not a fan. She said they were both fresh and flavorful. Both my wife and I ordered individual meals and both had the garlic, butter and baby spice level. There were times it was still hot but good. I prefer to not peel my own shrimp but the experience is still nice. I added corn, potatoes and sausage in mine to make things more filling. We also got some hawaiian rolls since my wife is diabetic and needs some carbs with dinner. The food was fresh and full of flavor and not just the added flavor. We both had a great experience and I would recommend people come check them out. They are a little pricey but that will be different for everyone. If seafood is your thing, check them out and if not, then you might want to find a different spot. The area they are located in is full of various restaurants, bars and places to get quick bites. They are also very close to ASU Tempe.”
“Looking for light refreshment and found Nekter. Smoothies, juices and acai bowls. Noone else there so wondered if any good, but found it to be fine. A little expensive compared to other similar places, but quality is good.”
“Love it!! Took my 16 months to rainforest Cafe so we can have dinner, she loved it!! Food was great and service was amazing. And my kid loved her souvenir cup and kept holding to it all dinner and she loved the atmosphere surrounded by animals. Will sure visit again as it was a great experience for her ?”

“An Eating Experience , fresh , spotless, and delicious. The Owners are Royal and makes it feel like grandma’s kitchen where our love with food began. The servers know what you want added and make sure your dish is served piping hot. A magnificent restaurant.”
“Best water n ice place in town! They got regular water and alkaline, BPA free jugs anywhere from 1 to 5 gallons, as well as all sorts of foreign candies and sodas that you won't find anywhere else, and even ice cream and gelato! Definitely the best water n ice place I've been to, I highly recommend!”
“Okay so the ambiance won't melt your heart but if you're from SoCal, the food will. If you're looking for the American greasy cheesy flavor this is not it. I spoke to a customer from Pacheco, Mexico and he said the food was very similar to home. This is more the authentic taste I grew up with in OC. It's hard to find Mexican food without the TexMex style here but I even love their chips & salsa. Red dried chile taste. We've had the nopales, chicken, Carne asada & other tacos. Chilaquiles, mushroom soup ... etc. all of it was wonderful! Don't judge on atmosphere, just try it! Oh - they may not know what gluten is but they have many many gluten free options. My husband and I are gluten free & we never get sick from their delicious food!”
“This is the most delicious Indian food I have ever tasted, and I’ve eaten a lot. I ordered through Uber eats and the order was initially messed up and they fixed it so quickly. Great people and great food! Definitely going to be eating here frequently.”
“If you’re looking for hot and fresh … and perfectly SEASONED fried chicken and fish, come here! The food was cooked to order and the service was great. Definitely a Chicago vibe!”
“Oh my goodness. I received my order this morning and felt as if I was opening a beautifully wrapped gift. This is my second time ordering from Boxed Greens and everything was perfect. I was able to modify and add items to my order prior to ship date and received an email notification telling me when I could expect my order. Each item was packed carefully and arranged beautifully in the box with sturdy ice packs to keep it all chilled. This is beautiful, quality produce that rivals any in the most upscale farmers market and it stays fresh for a long time which is an added bonus for a single person household. I am thrilled. Thank you!”
“The energy house is the place to be, you can have your breakfast, lunch, dinner all in ONE PLACE! The energy teas are delicious and my favorites.. Definitely recommend.”
“Ok, I read the reviews and trusted them. Not only did they hit the head the nail on the head, but they accurately described the freshness, taste and presentation. I'm here to add my own take on this ceviche heaven. First of all, if it weren't for their location, we would be here much more often, but we live way out on the West side. Will that keep us from making the drive, no way! This fully satisfied my culinary cravings. The seafood is so fresh, you may think you are beachside at the best restaurant on the coast. Like a resort??? No, it's a typical ma & pop establishment, but their service and smiles easily put it up there with the best 5 stars out there, especially in the desert! Their array of hot sauces (pictured) enhance your experience and I felt like I was eating at least 7 different dishes. Try them all! The server check on us at least THREE times to see how we were doing. Toward he asked if we needed a box, my wife said "yes", I looked at him as if I said, "hold my beer, I got this"! If you are on the East side or picking up friends and family from the airport, don't cheat yourself of this hidden gem. If you live on the West side, please get some takeout for us! I'm torn between getting the word out and keeping it all to myself! But, these guys earn a top shout out for the best ceviche I've ever had. Good job guys!!!”
“I LOVE Postino’s bruschetta and hadn’t been in a while. We sat on the patio and enjoyed our bruschetta and a beverage. It’s a great vibe, with the music and ambiance. I love the Smoked Salmon and Pesto so I always order two. Then I also had the Mushroom & Marscapone and the Burratta, Bacon, Arugula, & Tomato. The mushroom choice tasted better at the ASU location so not sure if there is a difference in location. Overall a nice experience.”
“Staff was incredibly family and made us feel like we were at home. Food was delicious so we will definitely be coming back! The shrimp po boy was filling and the jambalaya was tasty!”
“Our bartender Brittney always provides outstanding service with excellent food recommendations while shaking us up some delicious drinks! We loved the croquettes and the meatballs.. plus Britt makes the best martinis in town hands down!”
“5 stars across the board. Check my review history, I don’t sugar coat anything . I believe in telling my honest opinion always. My taste buds were in absolute heaven. I had the fried chicken, seasoned fries, brussel sprouts, mac n cheese and strawberry shortbread. EVERYTHING was fabulous, seasoned to perfection and mouth watering. The chicken was crispy and had me smacking and licking my lips. The brussel sprouts were cooked just right…not mushy or too firm. They were not over seasoned and were fresh. OMG, the mac and cheese. It was buttery with a long cheesy pull. Make you want to slap somebody’s hand if they touch your fork. The seasoned fries good too. You will enjoy them if potatoes are something you really like. I will always rate mac n cheese and my green veggies higher since I love them more. Last but not least, The strawberry shortbread was on point and satisfied my sweet tooth. There was a light fluffy mouse with strawberry and shortbread cookies. The perfect blend of soft and crunchy.Listen, if you are trying to Netflix and chill with some good soul food, check this place out.To set your expectations, I will tell you that there may be a wait to get your order. That’s because they popular but the food is so worth the wait. I just checked out my social media until my food was ready. Patience is key but you won’t be disappointed. A+”
“I had ordered a boil it was not to my tasting I took it back and was able to order anything off the menu I settled for fish it was amazing staff was nice and kind I will definitely eat here again”
“I bought Menudo, Pozole and a Barbacoa burrito. Generous portions of food. my food was piping HOT so I ate a lil bit and took the rest home. The Menudo was delicious only thing I would do differently next time is not so much red sauce in it. The meat in the Menudo and Pozole was tender and both seasoned well. The grill bread was also delicious too. I will be back to try the shaved ice next time. Aurea thank you!!”
“Checked this place out while we were staying in Mesa for a baseball tourney. Staff was super friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. Food was delicious. Tried the guacamole, salsas, multiple tacos and house marg. All were on point and flavorful! They even went out of their way to make a special kids meal for my son that was off menu. Would definitely go back to try more things!”

“Eliot is the best. He always comes in here with a cheerful attitude. He remembers our order. He is conscientious about seeing when we need refills on drinks and always prepares a drink to go. It’s kind of hard to chat him up because The Restaurant is always busy and everybody wants to sit in his section. He is very popular here and we choose to come to this Dennys over others because of him despite the extra driving distance.”
“We were so impressed with the delicious food! It is authentic Chinese cuisine! They have a variety of selections and it won’t disappoint! The owner was so sweet and attentive! Large portions so it’s easy to share with a group!”
“My wife and I had a great dinner out at Aunt Chiladas. The house margaritas were great, smooth going down and yet not too sweet. I had the three enchiladas with rice and refrito beans. A person could happily eat two pounds of these rice and beans, especially stirred together, but it is not recommended to eat that much beans at one sitting. The enchiladas had ample queso and flavorful meats but they were not so spicy your hair falls out. You can add seasoning to your taste if needed so it can be perfect for you. They had a lot going on that night and it was very busy but still the staff was always ready to help and wait time was good. It is wedding season and this would be a great venue for a grooms’ dinner with the spacious breezy patio and fine indoor dining room as well. Excellent in every measure. I understand you can have take out from this establishment too, but why miss the fun of the dining experience?”
“I absolutely love Gen Korean BBQ. MEAT is an 8.5 out of 10 every single time. Additional sides are 8 out of 10 every time. If you like Korean BBQ and want a quick, affordable, quality meal. Grab Gen.”
“My kids and I had a GREAT time at YCs Mongolian grill. You pay per bowl kids size, medium or large. Then you stack it as full as possible with protein, veggies, and top it off with noodles. There are extra bowls by the sauces where you get to create your own sauce. They have a board with suggested sauces but we created our own.There is also a rice and soup bar included with your entree. We highly recommend this local gem.#supportlocal #mongolianfood #Tempeeats”
“It was my first time there and it didn't disappoint. The place is huge, tons of open seating even though it was a busy Saturday lunchtime. Service was quick and efficient, and the wait was fairly short. The food was excellent, I got a pair of hotdogs with the works, the wieners themselves had a good snap when you bit into it. Will definitely try the meat sandwich next time, it looked delicious.”
“It doesn’t taste good! Like?2023.04.152023.04.23So delicious. Come again.There are more stir-fried pork and braised pork with dried prunes today. They are delicious.2023.07.22I originally wanted to go to the all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant across the street to celebrate my wife’s birthday, but my wife insisted on coming to the old town.I tried more cabbage today and it was delicious2023.10.012024.02.24”
“It's an In-n-Out Burger. They are all basically 5 stars. Great service, food made the way you ask for it, and the speed they can move a lunch crowd out is what every other fast food place should strive for. They hire motivated people who are polite and courteous. They greet you with a smile, double-check your order, and actually give you what you asked for minus any attitude. The state of fast food in this country has gotten so bad that we rarely eat anywhere except In-n-Out. My cardiologist won't be too happy, but he won't complain as I believe I pay his country club dues.Parking: Large lot, but at lunch you may need to be patient.”
“If you’re looking for insanely mouthwatering Thai food, this place is it!! My friend got the Pad Thai and I got the Red Curry. The portion size is great and you’ll have plenty for leftovers though it’s tempting to just finish it all in one sitting. The spice level was just right for what I was looking for and the flavors were just bursting. ? Ate my food so fast forgot to take a photo! Will update with photo next time. Customer Service is great too.”
“Goth night?! Yes please! This restaraunt is still my all time favorite. Incredible concept and execution. I'm never disappointed when I share this place with a friend- and neither are they!”
“It's been 20 years since I was here last, and not much has changed, in a good way. Great food, great burger, love the onion rings.Be ready, cash only, be ready to order, and get pineapple on your burger!Great place. Glad it is still around.Parking: Parking is tough to find.”
“This restaurant is absolutely incredible! My understanding is that this is a James beard chef and I cannot explain how good the food was! Best guacamole I’ve ever had. And I didn’t see a gin drink on the menu and the bar tender created something on the spot for me that was so full of flavor. Highly recommend jumping off the streetcar for a meal and drink.”
“First time going here since I was fresh faced 21, and it was still super chill, better food than I ever thought, and a great crowd, mostly local. Definitely want to go again”
“From out of town but this is my second time here. I struggle to understand why the ratings are low for this place. Maybe it's the quality of the ramen, but I've never had the ramen here since I like different broth bases than offered here.The Katsu Curry is great, large portions with a little kick. My partner has a Gyudon Rice Bowl and soup, and we shared the crispy potstickers which are aptly named.The place has a great atmosphere and when we visited it was quite busy. Some people might dislike the order from QR and it gets dropped off, but it helps me feel less anxious about ordering and the staff can focus on the food.”
“The food here is amazing! Such a diverse menu. Something for everyone! The owner is from Thailand and has the best most authentic Thai food I have ever had. A great place for group events! Very accommodating!”

“Outstanding hole-in-the-wall gem that I’m super happy I stumbled into by accident! Egg drop sandwich was stuffed to the brim and delicious. Mango Yogurt smoothie was fantastic too. The staff was super friends and even the interior decor is super cozy too. Highly recommended if you’re looking for boba / a snack in Tempe!”
“This is the best ice cream I have found in the valley! Favorite flavors so far are banana cream pie, brownie dough, buckeye (#1 fav), and coffee (tastes like a Starbucks frap) ❤️ Staff is efficient and clean! I’ve ordered cones, cups, and pints and the quality is always excellent. I’ve ordered at the window and online for pick up and they are so quick!”
