“I’ve come in time and time again with my wife and I’ve never left a review but I need to tonight. One of our favorite bartenders were working Saturday night, Sarah with the smile and the energizer bunny work ethic, not only did she tell us about the new wines but guided us through a blind wine tasting and really brought the wine to life. We lounged for a couple hours enjoying the company and the patio. Unfortunately another patron made a scene and started spewing garbage about the bartender and she handled it very professionally, better than I would’ve. Seconds after the manager Cody, honestly I can’t express my gratitude enough that he was there and his other employee (I didn’t get his name but he injected himself in the middle of the altercation) to diffuse the situation. I’ve always loved Postinos and been a big supporter, I never imagined my 10/10 for postino I would become a 15/10.“

“We always enjoy our evenings at the Outback!“

“An incredible tradionally styled ramen shop! An incredibly friendly atmosphere was present the second I walked through the door. I had the house special tonkotsu ramen with all toppings, and when asked I decided to get medium spiciness (which was definitely within the Japanese standard of spice, which might be lower than you're used to if you have a lot of Mexican food like I do). The noodles were a perfect texture and taste, the broth was the perfect mix of savory with the richness tonkotsu is known for. The toppings like pickled ginger and black fungus added a delightful acidity.

I also had a side of a pork katsu bowl, which was absolutely delightful and was an excellent mild compliment to the diverse flavors of the house ramen.

This is my new local ramen shop and I couldn't be happier with the quality of food and service.“

“I haven’t had a single menu item that I haven’t absolutely loved!“

“Everything is intentional. Great wine, every selected item carefully placed on the bruschetta. Every olive 🫒 selected carefully. Yum.“

“Great food & servers. All was perfect.“

“The medium level heat is perfect, not too hot, not too mild. The house sauce is like a spicy thousand island. The Mac and cheese is very cheesy. Overall this meal is pretty good.

My friend didn't care for the dry rub coating, he prefers a sauce instead.“

“Food was very good. We were the only ones there. Service very slow. Once server took our order, no one paid any attention to us. Had to flag server down to get a 2nd beer. Went up to the bar to pay our bill. No one acknowledged us when we left. Food was excellent, though.“

“First time here & we were completely satisfied & The burgers are ginormous & delicious!“

“Best tacos and tosdadas we have ever had“

“Most reviews mention that the wait staff are friendly and helpful, and are able to recommend suitable beer and food pairings.“

“Friendly staff (Blake and Mikaela(sp?). Good food! Enjoyed our breakfast!“

“Love this place so much. The food is authentic, and the staff is super friendly. The sushi is fresh and amazing, and even better when you save a few bucks on happy hour. The Izakaya menu is delicious and you definitely should get a few to share. If you’re a ramen lover, this is the spot - some of the best I’ve had outside Japan!“

“Came here for ASU Parents Weekend and wow, The Melt totally nailed it. The burgers were juicy, fries on point, and the team was super friendly. They’ve got a sign saying they promise you’ll have a great experience, and they really meant it. I even shook their hands and snapped some pics with them. Loved it so much I came back the next night! Definitely my new favorite spot near campus.“

“We recently moved to Tempe and this has become our favorite place to chill. My partner is vegetarian and has found some great options she really enjoys. For being a bar, the food is surprisingly good! I personally love being outside so this place nails it for me.“

“yummy food and great atmosphere.“

“Good beer w/ a friendly staff..“

“Chef Krystal makes amazing magical plates — comfort food with scratch-kitchen freshness, just the right “mouth feel” (crunchy or textured etc), also healthy and delicious. You should definitely order extra servings and bring Early Bird Vegan to potlucks, office parties, family events, and serve it to nonvegans who would have no idea it’s vegan unless they saw the name (I have done so— and even cheese-addicted “vegetarians” (yeah… they need to evolve) are supremely happy with Early Bird Vegan food)!“

“Everything was delicious!“

“My wife and I stopped in for lunch. We are outside on the patio. I ordered the fire chicken and BBQ chicken. While both were delicious, the fire chicken is appropriately named because it is fire!!!

My wife had the BBQ beef, which might have been the best dish.

Inside seemed a little warm, but outside was great. We will 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“

“I love going to the Cornish Pasty Co any chance I get. It was a favorite when I lived in the East Valley. All of the pasties are delicious. But make sure to save room for the caramel apple pasty, I promise you won't regret it! I only disappointment is that they don't have a far West Valley location. I miss them living in Surprise.“

“Forgot to take pics of our drinks but got the watermelon lime, orange lemongrass peach tea, and hand smashed lime tea. The orange lemongrass peach tea is a Vietnamese classic and they have a perfect version. Highly recommend this place! Drinks came out very quickly.“

“We enjoy good coffee and this is the best we have found in the valley so far. Excellent coffee!“

“One of the best sandwich experiences I’ve ever had! 5 stars!!
We received friendly fast service and great recommendations on what to order from the staff. We were all blown away by their delicious and fresh sandwiches with a California flare. Highly recommend the turkeycado and the Baja chicken (add avocado). They also offer a great selection of beers and cider on tap.“

“Wonderful spot - exceptional service and friendly environment, plus great food. Thank you, Paul, Mia and the team for exemplifying the best in hospitality.“

“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!“

“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 love Goldwater! I’m super bummed that I moved, so I’m not as close anymore, but whenever I’m in the area or just craving a great beer, I always make my way back to one of my favorite spots. The place is clean, dog-friendly, and has an awesome vibe. John, Tim, and Jimmy always deliver top-tier service and great conversation.

If you’re new to the area or just looking for somewhere new to check out, I definitely recommend stopping by Goldwater in Tempe.

P.S. They don’t serve food, but there are tons of nearby spots where you can grab takeout and enjoy it with your drink at Goldwater!“

“Awesome place. Beer was fab, great food, super friendly staff, and lively guests. I've already let my local friends and family know about this hidden away gem.“

“I recommend the parm chicken sandwich and the pizza. I wish they would put the sandwich back on the menu even if it is served on a different bread roll. The only negative thing for us is the volume. It is not a good venue to catch up with friends because you can't hear the conversation over the music and TV. The booths are comfortable and tha bar is always hopping.“

“Fresh made delicious pasta, amazing brunch menu, exotic wine selections, and an amazing atmosphere! Love this place definitely recommend 👌👩‍🍳😘“

“Best Coffee...best service...best place! Been going here for more than 15 years and never found a place that has better iced coffee or better service.“

“Love the friendliness there!“

“Home style cooking feel, food was amazing, orchard refreshing and la musica buena. The portion sizes are big enough to have food for later. The owner is in the kitchen and she came out to ask how everything was, very friendly, warm staff. 10/10 ✨️✨️“

“Friendly fast service always! Great staff“

“They took such good care of us. It was a great night for patio seating, but we were also happy when they turned on the outside heater for my mom. We were so impressed when our food arrived that I asked to take the server's pic. Wow! How does he do that?! And the food was great!“

“I really enjoy feta cowboy, the mixture of Mediterranean and Mexican is perfect for our family. I’ve been twice now and enjoyed both times. Carnitas and falafel. The staff were patient and courteous with the new patrons in my group as they figured out what choices they wanted in their bowl.“

“Stumbled upon this place on our way home, and I’m so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and laid-back, which made it the perfect stop to wind down. The bartender was not only friendly but also incredibly helpful in guiding us through their beer selection. I really appreciated how attentive he was in helping us choose something that matched our tastes. it made the experience feel more personalized.

We decided to order some food to go with our drinks, and let me just say, it did not disappoint. The toritos were flavorful, super filling, and definitely hit the spot. You could tell they take pride in both their drinks and their food, which is always a win in my book.

All in all, it was one of those unexpected stops that turned out to be a great find. Between the great service, tasty food, and solid beer options, I would absolutely come back. not just to try more beers, but to explore more of the menu too. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you’re in the area!“
