“Had dinner and drinks this evening, set at the bar and the bartender on duty was very plain and as soon I order my food and 1 drink, I felt pressure by the way she ask me if I wanted to close my tap. I been staying here for the last 3 weeks from Wednesday through Saturday weekly and is the first time I felt uncomfortable when having dinner on the premises. I was fortune David showed up and took over part of the bar and started making my drinks and food. Had 4 Mules , 2 tacos and Calamari. Thanks David the drinks were ?? . But overall, the experience and the food is great!!“

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.“

“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.“

“4 stars for the food. 3 stars for the service, as they absolutely needed either more staff or more motivated staff. The woman that was the cashier was working her butt off running the cash register, being the hostess AND bussing tables. Meanwhile, many servers walked past us for several minutes after we walked in and didnt offer to seat us. This poor woman is over here doing 3 jobs (or more) while new customers walked in (like us) and was too busy cashing people out to seat us. Totally not her fault. But when you have lots of servers walking around doing not much, they should've easily helped her out and sat tables.That being said the food was good, onion rings ON POINT. I also love when restaurants will give you to-go cups with refill beverages when you leave. It's a typical no-frills diner which is honestly what I loved about it. Husband said his burger was also good. We will be back to try their huge breakfast menu.Kid-friendliness: Typical diner food, so plenty of kid friendly options“

“Back when I was a newly minted dad, I loved taking my kiddo to divey breakfast spots around the valley. One of those spots was Jim's Coney Island Cafe.The decor looked straight up 1970s film noir. Rows of oversized yellow vinyl booths. A quarter mile of countertop. A row of sturdy stools that could accommodate any size or shape butt that came through the door.The food was classic diner basic, the prices were reasonable, and the place was always nice and clean.It’s now 2024, my kid has kids of his own, and JCI is exactly as we left it all those years ago.Although pretentious food snobbies with ultra-delicate sensibilities and palates will likely steer clear of the place, the way I look at it is if you choose to spend 10 bucks for a plate of eggs at Jim’s, or peel off 40 bucks for the same plate of eggs in a fancier zip code, it’s all gonna come out in the same place in the end.For me, Jim's Coney Island is a place where me and my kid made a few memories, and where divey breakfast dreams are dreamt.“

“Wildflower's buy one get one free (BOGO) is the best deal on sandwiches. You have to join their frequent diner program. They email you when they are offering this deal. Their sandwiches are big and come with various sides though some sides are an additional charge. We like the Cheddar Braised Beef that has braised beef, cheddar, cheddar & caramelized onion mashed potatoes & organic arugula on a grilled ciabatta roll with au jus, horseradish sauce & served with a side of chips for 13.99. This is a bargain compared to nearly $30.00 it normally costs. We also like it on sourdough instead of the ciabatta roll. Our only disappointment was the last time we ordered the au jus was more like gravy than a broth. Note that this is seasonal so is not always available. Our other favorite is the BLTA - bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. They also have a selection of soups, salads and pastas. And don't forget the Danish and cakes for desert.The interior was recently redone. The beverage station was moved to all self-serve. This is great as it speeds up the service. The booths were reupholstered with florescent orange. It is a little loud for our tastes. There is an outside seating area that is pet friendly. The restaurant is always clean, and the service is great though limited. You order at the counter, get a number and then the food is brought to your table. They get very busy on the weekends so plan ahead.“

First: there are ALWAYS gnats inside the restaurant. Second: it seems like as soon as our food gets brought to our table, someone lights up a cigarette or pipe on the patio. It's very off putting given the ashtray smell and the gnats. The service is always top notch. The food is consistently good. I like being able to pay through the app. Makes paying the check a breeze.“

“I had many amazing experiences with all of the staff members throughout the hotel during our stay for conference. The front desk staff, the bar staff, the conference room staff.... everyone was super friendly and nice. The guys outside helping with cars, the shuttle and such were probably the most helpful. We talked to all different shifts and met them all and they were just so nice. Today I checked out and forgot my blanket somewhere. We knew it was in hotel but the shuttle was leaving. Otto ran up to look for it but we had to leave to go to airport. I swear I literally got off the shuttle and was looking for my passport and turned around and there he was with my blanket!! Who is so kind!? Thank you to the whole staff for being so kind but Otto....that was a Minky and was over $200!! Wasn't just any blanket and Ohio is not close to Arizona! Thank you so so so much!!!“

“My first visit, I arrived at about 11am for a solo brunch. The almost full parking lot was an early indication of how busy & popular this place is. It was a lovely cloudy & barmy morning, so I opted to be the only taker for a seat in the peace & privacy of their covered patio. Normally a biscuit & gravy fiend, their specialty (next time!), i opted for corned beef hash with scrambled eggs & sourdough toast - I actually didnt even bother with the cubed sauteed potatoes, quite tasteless. The tall pot of coffee was most welcome, & together they hit the spot, even tho the hash &:eggs weren't really anything to write home about. Being able to sit my phone on the table & watch some news videos undisturbed, & undisturbing, was refreshing in itself. Will def have to go back & try their biscuits! (Btw the servers were very attentive).“

“Situated near the Harkins theatre within Tempe Marketplace you will find a pizza establishment called Slices. Though I've been numerous times to this outdoor shopping mall, I have not stopped in to this location. A friend suggested for a cheap slice meal for under $10 ($8.99 for the mix & match specials). I was skeptical as how can you get a slice, salad, and drink for under $10?! I'm thrilled to report it did live up to the hype! Heck, there was not just a few vegetarian options but they even had a few vegan slice options. The side salad left a lot to be desired based on my preferences on a salad. It contain spring mix, cherry tomatoes, and carrots. I wish it had croutons and romaine, but I'll consider that next visit if I return to the area. Cheese pizza is always a go to for me, and how I rate slices versus other pizza chains. Their cheese pizza slice was nice and floppy for folding - New York style is my pizza preference. Definitely loved the slice and could see myself making through the vegetarian slice thoughts, and also inquiring about the vegan ones as my peanut/treenut allergy can limit me. The interior is pretty small, so it can be hard to locate a spot to eat especially if you are with friends like I was. We did locate some seating outside which was enjoyable given the time of year. I would definitely factor seasonality as this may not be a place I would want to visit in the summer if indoor seating wasn't available. The service was both quick and friendly, so a great place to grab and go if seating isn't available.“

“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've been frequenting this spot for their custard, but this time we decided to give their butter burger meal a shot—and we were pleasantly surprised. While it's not a dedicated burger joint, it's the closest one around, and it definitely hits the spot when you're craving a burger. The service was, as always, excellent, and the cozy atmosphere adds to the overall experience.“

“Very pleased with our dinner at Milagros. My family dined here for dinner on a Tuesday night after flying into town. We were hungry and didn't know where to go and quickly learned that there was a restaurant in the hotel. The atmosphere is pleasant, the hotel and restaurant are Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired. It felt like we were sitting in an upscale lounge in the 1970s. Paige served us our dinner and was friendly, professional, and on her game. Everything was perfect, accommodating our needs as we changed our minds while ordering. I had the chicken focaccia and a side salad for dinner. The sandwich was delicious- the garlic aioli added a punch of flavor. I ended up eating it as an open-faced sandwich because the bread muted the flavors on the inside too much and I didn't want to miss those.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Boondocks in Tempe is my go-to, around the corner spot for a fantastic time! Casey, the first bartender I met here, is a gem – her kindness and skill create a welcoming atmosphere that initially kept me coming back. Seriously, had it not been for her, I’m not sure I’d have come back.The there’s Tyler, the GM, who runs the show with attentiveness, ensuring a fair and positive vibe for both staff and patrons.Tyler, another bartender, is a constant source of laughs with his jokes, making every visit light-hearted and enjoyable (check out his ice fr)…Brittany's vibrant energy adds a lively touch, making the bar area fun and inviting. Jared, another diligent bartender, not only serves with precision but also saved my b*tt on a sports-themed crossword.And let's not forget Matt - braving through every Thursday karaoke night of college kids and off key singers with levity and professionalism, just proves Boondocks Tempe is the SUPERIOR Boondocks.The entire staff, including these amazing individuals, makes sure everyone feels safe, included. It's not just a bar; it's the local watering hole this side of Tempe needed - filled with positive vibes and great people! ?Also: the food RIPS, 10/10 best chicken strips this side of Tempe Town Lake!“
