“My family was all in town for the first time in 10 years, so we went to Twin Peaks in Tempe. What a great night! The food and drinks were amazing! Our server, Kelsey was friendly, fun, and provided excellent service all evening. To top it off, the manager, Brent, stopped by our table to welcome us and sent over desserts for the table! What a nice gesture! We were all impressed with everything about Twin Peaks and will be back soon!”

“Absolutely delicious! Chicken and steak schwarma is delicious. The pita itself was soft, plenty of meat and sauce. However it's the garlic sauce that adds umami flavor. Add the tangy pomegranate sauce, just a tiny bit goes a long way and you have a burst of flavor. I use a whole garlic and half pomegranate sauce to one wrap. Their baclava was also flaky and crumbly on the inside. We grabbed all pistachios. This is a go to for family gatherings for a quick affordable bite.”

Multiple drinks. The waitress Karlie was a huge highlight of our visit, very friendly and knowledgeable. Never an empty drink or dirty plate on the table. You could tell she enjoys her job. We will be back whenever we are in town.”

“I'm not sure why it's only 4 Star rating,but I've never ordered from inside the restaurant.this review is only on the delivery of the 18inch pepperoni I ordered for 29.99......Was it Worth it? Absolutely!The crust was perfect,not to crunchy not to soft. I was watching the Goonies and the delivery guy happened to show up Right at the scene were the Fratelli brothers were fighting over the the pepperoni...😅...It was filling and delicious,id recommend it over Peter Piper and Little Caesars any day 😋👍”

“I’m basing this review not only on today, but also the other times I’ve been here. My main review other than today will be below today’s review:
My waitress today was Gloria. She was very on spot with her service, very kind and very professional! I enjoyed interacting with her today. She made my day go better. Too bad she’s in her mid-twenties. Otherwise I would have asked her out on a date or asked her for her phone number.
The food was great with the exception that this is the second time that I’ve gone here and the eggs were a little undercooked, but that problem was resolved this time. Also, this is the first or second time my hot chocolate could’ve been more chocolate and less water.
The atmosphere was fairly welcoming. Of course I can’t control the music, but let’s say I would prefer something else. The restaurant was nice and clean today.
My main concern coming here in the past was sometimes the food was okay, sometimes the waiter/waitress could have been faster and, if I remember right, sometimes the music would be too loud. Other than that, this restaurant has been fairly consistent on doing a good job. 👍”

“Let’s see if you care enough to respond- So disappointed!Why are you charging for 20 oz drinks and serving in obviously undersized cups that when weighed are only 15 oz including the cup?!? Using holiday cups w your logo and paying for them by undercutting what your regular loyal customers are paying to get is a lowsy way of doing business. Stop using the undersized cups to up off your regular loyal customers as a means of paying for your holiday cups! Or, 🤔 maybe customers should be warned that they’re not getting what they are paying for- unsavory and poor business practices. And update your menu! No excuse to not serve sugar free and low fat options when diabetics and weight conscious clients are also paying clients who now have to go elsewhere because you don’t serve them! Shame on Bikini Beans! Or did you think that girls in things w sweat dripping off their bodies while making our drinks and overly sugaring drinks will make up for inadequacy?!? And make sure that your scantily clad servers at least wear antiperspirant and take the time to write what the drink is on the lid so when omeone orders two or more (as I have been for sometime now) they can actually tell which drink is which! Do the photos below look like something you’d pay for and actually consume w confidence?!? Now let’s see if Bikini Beans even cares enough to reply!”

“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.”

“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.”

“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula”

“Went there (party of two) last night for a meal of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a chunky ceviche-type experience. The flavors were good and just the perfect kick. Our preference is a little less tomato juice and a little more of the chunky ingredients (reason for 4 on food). We also ordered the Queso Fundido. Very good flavors. Love the chorizo and the homemade corn tortillas.
Cadillac marg in a small glass...$19 (yikes!). Good but maybe not worth that price.
Service was excellent.
Downsides on this restaurant in general is how loud it is inside (reason for 3 of atmosphere) and how challenging to park(nothing they can do about parking).
Whoever owns this corner has put wayyyy too many busy restaurants in place for the amount of parking. So, if you want to come here arrive early as the restaurant is popular and they do not take reservations.
I definitely think overall the food is worth it and we will come back.”

“Nomad Boba is a great spot when you’re craving a refreshing boba drink that’s well made and not overly sweet. The milk teas are smooth and balanced, the boba has a great chewy texture, and there’s a nice variety of flavors to choose from. Everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and it’s easy to customize your drink exactly how you like it. The shop has a clean, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are friendly and efficient. It’s an easy local favorite for boba and milk tea done right.”

“Tried this place for the first time this week and all expectations were far surpassed! Everything from the food, service, and price were way beyond what I expected. The food was piping hot and came out much quicker that we expected, our server was absolutely phenomenal as she checked up on us frequently and made sure we got everything we needed. The food itself was incredibly delicious, well seasoned, and marinated to absolute perfection! And the price for everything was more than fair! For $55 we got something similar to the lunch special but we got the meal for two! How we ordered it was; 1/2lb shrimp, 6 wings, sausage, potatoes, corn, rice, and noodles. We also got 2 spring rolls, 2 sodas, and 2 green tea shots all for $55! It was a huge serving of food for two people and we still had plenty leftover. I was absolutely astonished at the price for how much food we actually had served because on paper, I didn't think it was going to be so much. I can't wait to come back here and have this spicy goodness again 🔥”

The beers are always ice cold and the margaritas are always fantastic. The waitor we had I did not catch his name. He was tall and skinny, black shaggy hair and some earings I think, but it was on a Monday night football. He was SO NICE. Kept bringing our drinks, always asking if we needed anything. And he put up with all us hoonigans, there was like 10 of us and we were crazy loud and having a good time. So thank you to everyone at Doc. N Eddy's, for your exceptional service always. The waitors and waitresses, the cooks, the bussers, all of them. We love you guys.”

Coffee Roasteries • $$
“This review for Cortez is long overdue. To add the very short of it at the start, if you live in Arizona and drink freshly roasted coffee daily and you are not buying from Cortez, you need to at least try a bag. My first order was because it was cheaper than other local specificity roasters. I keep returning for more because of Cortez’s unique selection of odd and exciting fermentations and processes (Juicy Lulo springs to mind quickly). It is some of the best coffee you will ever have. Story Time: Sorry, not sorry. I used to go down the street from work and pick up bags from another Arizona roaster; however, I was laid off from GM along with over 900+ other people. I found Cortez by searching for a local coffee roaster that I could order by mail that would not break the bank to save some money. I made my first order on Nov 8th, 2023, and ordered a bag of Columbia Ocampos, plus some other small 8oz bags from Cameroon. I made my first cup of Ocampos and quickly realized that it was one of the best cups of coffee I have had, and with that, he had me hooked because, on Nov 22nd, I ordered a second order, then Dec 10th, Dec 22nd; you get the idea... I have been drinking coffee daily from Cortez for over a year, and each new, unique coffee gets better and better. My standard order is a monthly 2lb bag of Vulcan Azul for espresso and each new drop. When writing this, it is Colombia Vergel, which is just… amazing! It is fruity, acidic, and a real treat for the senses; who knew coffee could be so wild and flavorful! I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Cortez at his cafe (The Bright Side) in Tempe once a few months ago. He was an absolute pleasure, and I felt I could speak with him about coffee for quite a while. I ordered a pour-over Finca Amalita (that is his farm, so cool!), which was made in a vandola, and to this day, I have not had a better cup of coffee, and I really need to find some time to go back. Anyway... long story short, buy some Cortez Coffee.”

The restaurant is clean and the drinks were served quickly. Our waiter was great as well. It's a bit dark in the restaurant at night, which made us a bit sleepy. The location here is convenient as well.”

“This place is amazing, went there for food and a charity event that they helped sponsor for kids. Definitely will be coming back. I had the BBQ and wings and both were amazing. Teresa and Mel are the best and will take care of you. Never seen an owner of an establishment working in every area of the place to make sure their customers are happy like I did there.”

“This place is THE BEST. Every time my dad and I come here, either to dine in or for pick up, he says it's the best food he's ever had. It's literally the best indian food I've ever had, and up there with my top meals EVER. ITS SO GOOD. PLS COME HERE. My favorites are the saag, tikka (obviously), channa, and vindaloo. Those four are so good I have trouble trying anything else but my bet is that literally everything from this place is fab. Even picking it up, it stays hot the twenty five minutes it takes to get home. And the rice is amazing too! Okay quit reading my review and go buy this delicious food. I love it deeply and you will too.”

“Got delivered on DoorDash. Disappointed I didn’t get a Hawaiian roll as I had ordered. They could’ve been out but no one called me to see if I wanted another kind of bread.. taste was still good just bad service.”
Pizza • $$
“2 of 3 pizzas were cool when delivered. The process of ordering the pizza was very bumpy with the server, he was in a hurry to get the orders in, and pushed order on his device before we were done telling him what we wanted on the pizzas, he had to go to the kitchen twice to tell them what we wanted.. very odd. maybe you should go back to pencil and paper ?”

“Nice hotel bar.
Not really set up for a rush of customers that oc occur frequently at a conference center.
The servers do well, but it takes a while to get a drink if the place fills up quickly.
Tons of great places within a fue blocks so the options are limitless. Great area & it's all easily walkable. Very nice hotel & the hotel staff are amazing.”

“Let’s see if you care enough to respond- So disappointed!Why are you charging for 20 oz drinks and serving in obviously undersized cups that when weighed are only 15 oz including the cup?!? Using holiday cups w your logo and paying for them by undercutting what your regular loyal customers are paying to get is a lowsy way of doing business. Stop using the undersized cups to up off your regular loyal customers as a means of paying for your holiday cups! Or, 🤔 maybe customers should be warned that they’re not getting what they are paying for- unsavory and poor business practices. And update your menu! No excuse to not serve sugar free and low fat options when diabetics and weight conscious clients are also paying clients who now have to go elsewhere because you don’t serve them! Shame on Bikini Beans! Or did you think that girls in things w sweat dripping off their bodies while making our drinks and overly sugaring drinks will make up for inadequacy?!? And make sure that your scantily clad servers at least wear antiperspirant and take the time to write what the drink is on the lid so when omeone orders two or more (as I have been for sometime now) they can actually tell which drink is which! Do the photos below look like something you’d pay for and actually consume w confidence?!? Now let’s see if Bikini Beans even cares enough to reply!”

“I have been remiss to write a review until now. I can't say enough about Nik, AZ Inspirations catering and staff! Over the past years I was introduced to Nik and his services through a dear friend who has since passed. My family started to use his services for happy occasions as well as sad. So hadn't needed his services in quite a few years When the need came up last year I didn't think of calling anyone else but Nik. He this time delivered to our home for a Celebration of Life for our son. I knew I would need him again when my brother passed and so at the beginning of this year called and once again he provided his services. The food every time tastes even better than the last even though I choose the same menus and the service along with the pricing is suburb! I can't say enough about Nik and AZ Inspirations Catering and so sorry it took me this long to give my review. When the occasion arises again I know who I will be calling! A big thank you to Nik and his team!”

She gracefully helped me choice the meat I wanted in my tacos. I had Carne Asada and El Pastor tacos. The beer here is ice cold. The salsas are fresh. The bathrooms and environment well kept, super clean. I highly recommend their service, food, and ice-cold beer.”

“That lady knew what she was doing when she offered us a sample of the bourbon chicken. It was sweet but not too saucy and had a wonderfully smoky flavor. This food is, by far, my favorite place for Asian cuisine. They need another location…preferably in the East valley!”

“My wife and I had lunch here and loved both the food and the service. The food was fresh and delicious! I especially enjoyed the El Jefe beef tacos and my wife says the goat meat tacos are to die for!. The Aztec Fry bread comes with powdered sugar, chocolate syrup and honey. Great way to top off lunch!”

Sandwich Shop • $
“Knockout Subs is a great little sub shop (inside the smoke shop). Like others have stated, the bread is fresh, and the sandwich is full of meat. Had the Club (Turkey, Ham, and Bacon) and it was very good. I ordered the 12 inch sub. They made it into 2 six inch subs, which worked out perfectly, so that I can save the second six inch for tomorrow.
Because there is only one person making the subs, the person is making online orders at the same time that they are taking in-person orders. So the order might take an extra couple of minutes, but it is worth the wait. The overall service was very pleasant.”

The owner told us it is named after his little town near Pueblo. Amazing food!! The mole unreal! And the tostadas and tacos - small bits - were so rich and authentic with just the right kick. Super friendly and amazing food. Don’t know what it is like at night…looks like it might be a night club. Fabulous experience. So good!”

“We enjoy going to Bubba 33’s. Today was the first day we weren’t greeted upon sitting down. It was going to give it 10 minutes before I went to the hostess stand to say something. At 8 minutes a server stopped by, who we’ve had during a prior visit and apologized as the table we were sat at didn’t have a server on staff yet but he said he’d happily pick up the table. Alec of course didn’t disappoint. I appreciate him apologizing, communicating what happened, and taking us on as his own table. Alec is an amazing server, one of the best. A manager didn’t stop by this visit, but next time we are in and one stops but I will let them know Alec is amazing and takes initiative.”
Mediterranean • $
“I had been seeing this spot all over social media and finally made the trip out to try it today. From what I understand, it’s a concept from Pita Jungle with a Chipotle-style setup, but with Mediterranean and BBQ-inspired flavors.
I tried the kimchi brisket bowl and it was so good — flavorful, fresh, and a great portion size. I also added chips on the side, and everything tasted clean and fresh. The staff was friendly, and overall it was a really solid first experience. I’d definitely come back to try more items on the menu!”
