“Board and brew is an amazing sandwich shop! My boyfriend took me here for the first time a couple weeks ago and I’ve been 4 times since! The secret sauce is to die for and the sandwiches and bread are always fresh! The staff is super helpful and friendly! 10/10 would recommend this small business. I love the atmosphere and vintage vibes of the place as well!“

“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 think it's simply my favorite restaurant in Tempe. The Ramen is excellent, but I'm addicted to the egg bowls. I think I've tried everything on the menu at this point, and I can confidently say you literally can't go wrong here. The owner and his family are all wonderful people as well, just a pleasure to stop in and chat with over a bowl of Ramen.“

“Maddy at the Houston Hot Chicken in Tempe completely made our visit. From the moment we walked in she was upbeat and welcoming, and she made us feel like regulars on our first trip. She walked us through the heat levels, gave honest recommendations, and made sure our order was exactly right.

What really stood out was how she went above and beyond. Even with a busy line, she checked in on us, kept everything moving quickly, and still took the time to be genuinely friendly. You can tell she cares about the customers and takes pride in her work.

The chicken was hot, fresh, and perfectly crispy, but Maddy's service is what will keep us coming back. Management, she's a real asset to your team. Thanks, Maddy!“

“Just purely delicious burgers, the old fashioned way! Love the authenticity.“

“The food is delicious! Customer service is outstanding! This is going to be our home away from home!“

“Jonathan was the best! We sat outside and had the best conversation with him and learned more about the business and his love of baking!“

“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.“

“Great food, friendly staff. It's our favorite breakfast spot!“

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

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

“always a nice experience. staff is always warm and welcoming. soft serve & joe latti are the best <3 love the decor.“

“Very trending place in Tempe! The burgers are amazing and very tasty! They are juicy and tender! Love coming here! An employee name Ruth was very attentive to guests and kept up with the high pace atmosphere after a ASU football game. Would highly recommend and will return due to amazing service and delicious food!“

“Their gelato is amazing!!“

“yummy food and great atmosphere.“

“My girlfriend and I LOVE this DOZO Izakaya. We have been going for dinner a few weekends in a row. Their sushi is the best we’ve found in the valley and their ramen is also delicious! The staff is always super friendly. The restrooms are clean. There is absolutely nothing bad I could say about this place.“

“I definitely recommend this place! Great food, great company, and a great time. We always introduce friends and family to this place and they become fans!“

“It was between macayos and somburros, tastewise they outpriced themselves for a repeat visit. You order at the counter, you get your own drinks, and only really talk to you when you order. They were friendly but should not be 20 plus per person“

“My burger was excellent, but the fries were just ok. They tasted like the frozen extra crispy coated fries to me.“

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

“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.“

“I ordered catering from Word of Mouth Grill for about 20 people, and the owner truly impressed me. She was so welcoming and helpful, and the generous portions could easily have fed 40! Every dish was delicious and I promise you every one of them was made from scratch and that’s coming from a food snob. Thank you for such a wonderful catering experience!“

“Felt like something wholesome and Mediterranean. My wife suggested we try the Feta Cowboy. A fusion pita falafel meets Southwest concept in Chandler. I looked over the menu and was drawn to the Kimchee Brisket Burrito filled with Brisket, Calrose rice, Romano beans, sweet potatoes, FC pomegranate BBQ sauce, chili oil, kimchi-cabbage, Monterey Jack cheese, and harissa vinaigrette stuffed in a flour burro tortilla! I did not even finish half of this belt buster! My wife loved her build a bowl! Loved the Prickly Pear/Hibiscus/Pomegranate teas as well.
Being from Roswell, I loved the Kowboy Alien UFO Kitsch on the walls. The staff is attentive and friendly!“

“This place is a gem! Loved the relaxed atmosphere! We went there for the first time while visiting Tempe. Very easy vibe from the employees! Very welcoming and even brought our puppy some ice water on the patio! Our waiter was very friendly and efficient! The bartender and some patrons were also very nice to talk with!

The fish and chips were LEGIT!“

“This is why I shop local!! Been meaning to check them out and I picked up a Maui plate with mac salad and katsu chicken after work. Best mac salad I've ever had and the katsu chicken was so well breaded and delicious. Also was super quick and the amount of katsu chicken I got for 12 bucks was amazing.“

“Friendly fast service always! Great staff“

“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.“

“The coffee is incredible here. I feel like I get something different every time and I’m never disappointed. My only problem is that I can never work my way through the entire menu, especially because they have fun new seasonal drinks frequently! I only wish they had a seating space—they only have a couple of chairs because it’s a small space. Do note they have a surcharge for purchases made via card.“

“Tonight was my first time at Salt & Straw ever! The ice cream is so good and there are so many cool fun flavors. The store is super clean and has good vibes. The customer service is also great! Carina/Karina (idk how to spell her name I'm sorry!) was so sweet and welcomed me. She told me I could sample as many flavors I wanted and she gave me the backstory behind salt & straw which was fun to hear. I sampled her favs the ooey gooey chocolate brownie and snickersdoodle cinnamon kind. Both are so creamy and rich but I went with the snickerdoodle one, which tastes like milk after cinnamon toast crunch cereal but in the best way possible. It also seemed like there was snickerdoodle cookies inside the ice cream too. I will be coming back again!“

“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.“

“Had never tried build Pita before. It was out of this world great. From the Gyro Pita, Pizza and Manaeesh, it was all delicious. I didn’t rate atmosphere because we had it delivered but the whole family is looking forward to eating there in person. We have found our go to, with great food and surprising affordability.“

“I went yesterday to the downtown Glendale location and I have the cream of mushroom soup and bread and it was amazing. The people are friendly. Jesus the co-owner and manager made my experience. Very delightful. I got to watch the thing be built and there are some amazing people working there I highly suggest this place“

“Myaisa was absolutely amazing! She helped me with my order, added the points to my app, and was incredibly polite and helpful throughout the entire experience. She and the better buzz team made everything quick and easy and provided great customer service. I really appreciate her kindness and professionalism. Thank you, Myaisa!“

“Goldwater Crossing is my local and I usually visit weekly. Such a great vibe. Family friendly. Usually one or more good dogs hanging out. And the beer is great. The bar staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. It's not a restaurant, but you can bring food and there is often a food truck just outside.“

“Great food & servers. All was perfect.“
