Korean • $$
“The food is very good, the side dishes (banshan) are much better than other Korean bbq in the area, the combo said for 3 or 4 persons, we were 3 and finished everything, but I guess it could be enough for 4.”
Japanese • $$$
“I came here at the behest of a friend who raved about it. We ended up coming together (her visit was the second night in a row she would be eating here ?). As someone who has fish/shellfish sensitivities, I was a bit unsure of how I would enjoy it. As soon as we walked in, we were given prompt attention and showed amazing hospitality. Sean our waiter was EXTREMELY attentive, kind, and warm. He recognized my friend from the previous night and even brought us an appetizer on the house. I was blown away by the food. I got my fill on Karrage, short ribs, and Udon bowl we shared. Then the cherry (or strawberry in this case) on top of the cake was the dessert. Divine pink strawberries, fresh and succulent. Then a round of lychee icecream, freshly made. Absolutely decadent. We all left happy and with a new #1 Japanese spot on our roster.Thank you Sean and everyone at Icho Izakaya.”

“My recent visit to ZONA Cantina Cocina was a mixed bag of experiences, with some highlights and a few areas for improvement. The food, for the most part, was excellent, and even the leftovers proved to be a delightful surprise the next day.However, when it came to the bar and drinks, I found them to be lacking. Despite dropping hints to the bartender, it seemed that our concerns went over her head, resulting in a less-than-satisfactory drink experience. Unfortunately, our server was also oblivious to our hints, leaving us feeling a bit neglected.Thankfully, the situation was salvaged by someone who carried themselves like the manager. They took notice of our dissatisfaction and promptly made it right by waiving some of the charges from our bill. Their attentiveness and willingness to rectify the situation were greatly appreciated and turned what could have been a disappointing experience into a more positive one.Overall, while there were some hiccups along the way, the outstanding food and the responsive actions of the management team leave me willing to give ZONA Cantina Cocina another chance in the future. With a bit more attention to the bar and drink service, they have the potential to provide a truly stellar dining experience.”

“My son had the spaghetti and meatballs, daughter n law had the lasagna with meatballs, I had the chicken fettuccine. All 3 dishes were great. Our waitress was exceptional. Will be back on my next trip..”
Chinese • $
“I got the duck and spicy crawfish jianbing. Never having one before didn't know what to expect, but this is definitely what I would want from Asian street food. Easy to eat on the go, packed with lots of flavor. I got it mild and that was plenty of spice for my Anglo pallet. Loved the thin egg creme style packed with meat. They are fairly thin, but a good 10 Inches long so there's plenty to eat for one person. No real atmosphere as it's in a food court and you're getting the smoke and smell from other grills. Take.it outside and eat on a nice day.”
Mexican • $
“This place is fire. They have a nice salsa bar. Good choices for hot sauce, including cucumber and other veggies. I ordered al pastor and carne asada tacos. Both were delicious. Well worth the 20 min wait for a to go order during lunch rush. ?”
Brazilian • $$
“We were pleasantly and very, very surprised with Rodizio as a steakhouse Brazilian-style! Not to be confused with the really, very well-known Argentine Steakhouses great in their own right, but Brazilians have their own and extraordinary style of meat preparation, seasoning and in many ways, more tasty and savory than their counterparts of their neighbors just to the south. Frome their Tri-Tips Mahminas, Frahldina in chimichurri sauce, Parmesão their center-cut parmesan-base concoction, the Picanha top sirloin to the Alho with an incredible infusion of garlic in the beef, delectable chicken hearts, Coração de Frango Temperado one of Brazil's favorite "Churrasco" appetizers, or their fantastic Glazed Pineapple side, you’ll wonder why you’ve never tried this place before. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience, where not having finished your serving a house-gaucho is immediately their to serve you another piece of beefy wonderfulness. I was amazed at how packed this place got – no wonder it’s so popular. This is the place to get your meat-on! Prices are reasonable too!”

“We went for New Years to try it out for the first time. We had a party of 10 that included 3 young kids. Not only were they accommodating but they had our tables set up prior to arriving. That was a plus already. The staff was amazing and very helpful/friendly. While we got to enjoy our family time along with great amazing eats from their menu. So blessed to have amazing, friendly staff to ring in the new year with. They were awesome and the food was great. The establishment was so clean and even had sinks outside the restrooms in case you just needed to clean up. Definitely recommended!!! Also had so many TV’s with so many football games on lol. Great views of the tv’s no matter where you sat.”

Pizza • $
“The pizza and calzones were amazing! This is a mom and pop type place ran by the chef himself. The only thing I didn't like from what I ordered was the meatball topping, the meatballs didn't have a good flavor. The dough taste fresh, the pizza sauce is great and the cheese taste delicious. Best looking calzone I've ever seen! Lots of cheese and delicious!”
Barbecue • $$
“Today I ordered from Bobby Qs for the first time and enjoyed the meal (celebrating my mom's birthday). I ordered half-slab baby backs, roasted corn, baked potatoes, and nachos. The meat literally fell off the bone, which I loved. It was nice and tender and not overdone. Could have used a little bit more bbq sauce. The baked potato and roasted corn sides were delicious. The nachos were ok. Not bad, but I probably would not order them again. Overall, I was pleased with the order and will return in the future.”

Chinese • $
“First, this restaurant is small but not too small. It’s extremely clean from tables to cutlery. The menus are beautiful as well as helpful if you are new to these dishes. The staff were so friendly and helpful with recommendations. It is wheel chair accessible which is so important to how I rate any establishment.To start we order Chili Dumplings and cucumber salad. These dumplings were absolutely delicious!! If that was the only thing I ate that day I would have left happy. Light & airy with the perfect amount of spice. The filling was perfectly seasoned. Cucumber salad was super refreshing with light garlic oil dressing. I took it home and even the next day it still had that beautiful crunchy texture.We also ordered Pork Wonton Noodle Soup and Seafood Wonton Noodle Soup. The pork in the noodle soup was delicious and fresh. The wontons are such a good size and the filling was so tender and delicious. The noodles!!! Wow just wow!! We loved the noodles in both soups. The seafood soup was incredible!! I lived in Australia for 2 yrs and I have never had anything even come close to the wonton noodle soup until now!!! It had shrimp, crab meat and squid. Everything was cooked perfectly!!! Squid is something that can be overcooked so easily and this soup was exceptional. All the seafood from the wontons to the shrimp etc was so fresh not fishy at all!!We ordered some Baos and honestly we both were stuffed we ended up sharing one and eaten the rest the next day. They were light and fluffy and cooked to perfection.I highly recommend Happy Bao’s and we will be coming back soon!!Parking: Free parking located outside Mekong PlazaKid-friendliness: Staff is so kind and friendly. Menu has so many options even for a picky eater.Wheelchair accessibility: The entire restaurant is accessible no matter where you sit.”
Pizza • $
“Bella Pizza hits the mark in so many ways!First and foremost, The pizza is always on point. Great crust, amazing flavor and cooked just the way you want that NY style pizza.Don’t sleep on The Garlic Knots with Cheese. They are probably the best ones you’ll find in a 25 mile radius, with a uniqueness that can only be explained with with the cheese is the star ⭐️ because it’s “baked in” instead of just an afterthought like most knots with cheese.We’ve only gotten it to go, but the inside is intimate and the staff are always nice, so I’m sure the experience is just as top notch. Keep doing what you’re doing over there Bella!”
“Cute taproom. Nice selections on tap. They can your favorite to go. Small packages good section but they have what you need since they can their on beer. They usually have a food truck. Nothing healthy but delicious. I would recommend this place over a normal bar.Great employees! Knowledgeable and friendly.Great place to feel at home.”

“This place should have so many more reviews than it does, it is absolutely amazing. I have been seeing videos and posts about birria, which is a type of soup with tons of seasonings and such. I saw that they had ramen birria and I was sold. First off, the ramen birria smelled so so good I was so excited to dig in. Second off, I decided to get it with tacos so I could dip it in the ramen. Hands down the best thing I have ever tasted. I highly recommend if you do like spicy, authentic, Mexican food. The service was quick and the lady who took our order was super helpful.”

So thank you Laytesha king- ( & hopefully I'm not butchering the spelling of ur name too bad, sorry if I am).& To her manager - she is a great waitress - keep her. ?The cook did a great job as well and the restaurant was very clean.very impressed with that. I'm a clean freak so that's one of my big things a restaurant needs to be cleaned if it's not I'm outta there!! Haha.”

“You have to experience Waffle House at least once in your life. Don't expect gourmet dinning. Do expect good old southern comfort food. The portions are large and very filling. You will not have to eat for the rest of the day. The staff has always been very friendly. Our waitress on this visit was so nice and very attentive. She earned her tip. If you go, be prepared to wait for a few especially during COVID. We were lucky, our wait was only about 10 minutes.”

“I’ve been going to Blue Adobe for more than 15++ years when a boss took me there for lunch. It is as delicious now as it was then. The food is consistent and tasty. Great New Mexican cuisine. You can’t go wrong, I’ve never had a bad dish here. I recommend the Stacked Enchiladas “Christmas Style” with a fried egg or Yesterday’s Meatloaf. You’ll leave feeling full. It’s the “stick to your ribs” kind of food.”
Hamburger • $
“Great experience at this location from start to finish. The young man at the counter greeted us with a big smile and quickly took our order. Every employee we saw was working hard and moving quickly to get the food out to customers. The food was hot and fresh, seriously the best burger we have had in a long time. I like that the burgers are wrapped in paper and are easy to hold together so none of the toppings fall out. Fries were hot and perfectly seasoned. All this plus the restaurant was extremely clean…no trash scattered on the floor. We stopped at this location on our way to Phoenix-Mesa airport for our flight back to Missouri so probably won’t ever be back here, but we sure wish In-N-Out would open some locations in our area (southwest Missouri)”

Wait times are short, the atmosphere is welcoming and unrushed, and they have a great selection of drinks. There will be something for everyone. The fact they partner with other local businesses is another favorite selling point of the restaurant for me. Keep doing what y'all are doing!”

“The food here is amazing. The birria is juicy and tender. I had the burrito and the quesadilla and both were phenomenal. It would have been nice to have some crema or lettuce (owner said she doesn't serve those in her restaurant) to lighten up the food as it's really heavy, but it was still really tasty.”

“It was our first time there, and we arrived early at 5 pm, being the first group in the restaurant. The place is spacious with cute decorations, and the K-pop music playing on the TVs added to the lively atmosphere.The menu had so many food options that we were eager to try them all. However, my group found the soup a bit too spicy for our liking, but the waitress kindly offered to adjust it for us. We ended up ordering a variety of dishes including grilled squid, Ojingeo Bokkeum, Sunsal Chicken, Deep-fried whole chicken, Kimchi Jeongol, Dumplings, and DIY Rice Ball. The DIY Rice Ball activity was a hit, especially with the kids.Overall, the food was delicious, and we managed to handle the spiciness well. We're already looking forward to returning at a later hour to experience the rumored cool kids' dining time, which we hear is like having dinner at a nightclub.If you're up for a fun dining experience with great food, I highly recommend checking out Hanshin Pocha!”

“Fantastic place-it doesn’t look like much from the outside but they have plenty of seating and a very large menu. The menu has EVERYTHING-mostly authentic Chinese but also several other items (Tom Yum was really good!). The servers are friendly and the service is quick-out food was out with speed and was fresh and tasty.The menu is a bit overwhelming because of the choice-but they do have pictures on the walls of pretty much everything so you aren’t guessing if you’re trying something new.We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit, and have been back several times-everything we’ve tried so far has been great.”
Korean • $
“Great customer service and good sized space with seating. I had the potato corn dog with sugar sprinkled and the squid ink half mozzarella half hot dog with sugar sprinkled. The batter of the corn dog was delicious and the hot dog itself was great. They taste great with cheese mustard and sweet chili.I think next time I won’t get the sugar sprinkle because it was a bit too sweet for me. But that’s just my personal opinion.Overall best corn dog I’ve ever had. 8.9/10”

“This place has a huge selection of beer and wine. They even had a frozen/slush machine going. Pretty sure I'll be back this summer to enjoy one of those and escape the heat. The gentlemen working the counter was so nice and incredibly knowledgeable on everything they had! He was so personable and easy to talk to.”

“The food was good, I had the pork burrito and a shredded beef taco. The only downside was the noise, the new building needs acoustic treatment. It's very difficult to carry on a conversation. It was crowded at 2:00 on May 4th. I wish them well, the new building is going to require some sorting out so be patient.”
Brunch • $$
“The pricing was excellent, and the portions were generous. The flavors of all the dishes were delightful. However, I would have preferred if they served alcohol. A rating of 4.5 stars would be more appropriate, but there was no such option. A 5-star rating would necessitate a bit more depth of flavor, as everything was very good but not exceptionally remarkable.”

“Great spot for a drink of the patio. Has become our go to “let’s have a drink and enjoy the weather” spot They have a big wall that opens up to the patio but are good about keeping it down when it’s to hot outside to save the AC. Can be a bit loud inside, but it’s a bar not a place for having a meeting.Usually busy 4-7pm with not many open chairs and then it clears out after dinner.Speaking of dinner, they don’t have food service but they have always welcomed us in with takeout from other places. Just don’t be a jerk and clean up after yourself!”

“We had a party of 23 people celebrating a birthday, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us with the longest table ever. It was a bit tricky for those seated inside to navigate to the bathroom, but we really appreciated their efforts to make us comfortable. The food, as always, was delicious. I was so caught up in enjoying the company that I only managed to snap a picture of the soft shell crab, which was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was fantastic - super efficient from taking our orders to clearing the table for the birthday cakes. Despite the restaurant being really busy that night, they handled everything fast and accurately, which is always a good sign of a legit restaurant. Overall, we had a great time and everyone left with full bellies and big smiles. Thanks to the team for making it a memorable night!”

Wait times are short, the atmosphere is welcoming and unrushed, and they have a great selection of drinks. There will be something for everyone. The fact they partner with other local businesses is another favorite selling point of the restaurant for me. Keep doing what y'all are doing!”

“Seen this place before on my drives from work back home to Tempe. Decided to give it a go. The menu is 90% traditional Chinese cuisine. Maybe 1/2 dozen Americanized Chinese items on the back 2 pages. Order carefully and ask questions! Food was cooked quickly and served immediately. Ordered 4 items… 3 of those were as good as I have ever eaten. The fourth I took home to eat later… see 4 photos.”

They have worked hard on providing a fun atmosphere. While this is not my perfect burger, I find myself going back. The best part is that the staff really seem to have sincere pride in their work and business. Keep it up!”

“Cheerful service, unassuming ambience and outstanding food. We tried the garlic bread which was crispy and thin, so even eating a whole plate of it didn't ruin our appetite. It was flavorful and served with a side of hot homemade marinara. 10/10! I tried the eggplant parmesan with fettuccini and the portion size was worthy of the $22 price tag. The pasta was absolutely delicious. Perfect bite and chew. The eggplant was stacked high and was so tender it melted in your mouth. 11/10 Such a nice surprise to find such delicious Italian right here in Mesa. Can't wait to go back and try more options.”

“In March 2024 Serranos catered our adult family reunion. We had 70 people and the everyone wanted a Mexican dinner. Serranos was fantastic. They helped us decide how much to order, but not too much. The order was ready when we arrived to pick it up. They said there would be plenty of chips, bean dip and salsa, and they were right. The chips are tortilla chips (not grocery store corn chips). Everyone loved the red chili beef and the green chili chicken enchiladas, as well as beef tacos. Plenty of great rice and beans too.We’ve eaten here often with my family and love the food and service. It’s authentic Mexican food.”

It will always be my top 5 favorite restaurants, all the waitresses are super nice and I always give a huge tip. It is a Mexican restaurant so don’t expect so much English. Their English is super well though! Loved everything about it and they do karaoke Thursday to Sunday and everyone in the restaurant gets along. There are usuals there (me being one of them) super nice we love going here. The place is always clean too!”

Steak House • $$
“This place is my go to when I want a delicious steak and baked potato. I still gave them five stars because of past performances. But if this were my first trip it would be my last. The noise level was off the charts. But I thought good for them, busy on a Wednesday night. Then, advertising street corn appetizers for like eight bucks. I order it. We get salads, no corn. We get food and the waiter says, we are out of corn. Disappointing but it happens. I ask for A1, he grabs it off another table, it is all but empty. Then I cut into my steak it is so gristly that my reasonably sharp knife is tearing at it! I fought my way through this low quality meat, but if my next experience isn't back up to par I will assume that President Biden has turned my previously delicious $35 dollar bone in rib eye into a $10 bone in dog treat. I realize that good meat isn't cheap. $35 isn't cheap. With tip my bill was $94 for two no appetizers. So I really paid $47 for a $10 steak. That won't be a regular occurrence from patrons. Everyone notices bad meat at a steak house. There are not any Ponderosa Steakhouses anywhere anymore. They lowered their quality too. I'll update this review when I get back there. But it left a bad taste in my mouth, so it may take some time,!”

“The food was fantastic. Felt like I was eating a homemade Korean meal. Service was friendly and quick. I'm for sure coming back. The only thing in recommend is that they update the ambiance. The restaurant looks old. Besides that with trying.”
Hot Pot • $$
“I've been here about 5 times now. I'll admit I've not tried many hot pot places and the other one I did try was way worse than this one. Great selection of veggies, noodles, meats & seafood. I've only ever had their Sukiyaki broth, a little bit savory & sweet! The not having free refills kinda irks me since you're paying $35 bucks a person.”
Italian • $$
“The service was perfect! Autumn was an amazing server that was welcoming, positive, and professional. Her attention to detail was on point- for there were some things missing with my meal and also gave me tips on how to pack our food to go (I had some soup). The food was also good, despite the mishaps. Atmosphere was like any other carabbas, however, it was well maintained and kept. It was a perfect Easter dinner and because of Autumn, we may have to return very soon. Thank you Carrabas team!”

“Sooooo... a friend took me to Red Lobster, when I told her I have never been to a Red Lobster in the 23 yrs I lived in the USA. This review isn't about the food but actually something else that made me smile. The food is good and as anything else in this economy not cheap. Even for Red Lobster. The waitress was friendly. I ordered Lobster tail and a sirloin and I came with a little cup of melted butter. When I looked at the melted butter it had a big smile. (See at the picture attached) It made me smile (I know, I'm a sucker, little things in life makes me smile) Carpe diem!”

“Very friendly service and staff, and the food is always amazing! Some other Outbacks have a tendency of over cooking their blooming onions, but this place does it right EVERY TIME!

“Came here on a Friday evening as a family. We live right down the street from here and it was our first time dining in, but we have always ordered takeout from here in the past. The quality of the takeout food and dine-in food is completely the same, just as delicious and portions are huge.. in my opinion. I usually never can finish a full plate myself. You MUST try the Ranch Waters. I forgot the name of mine but it had pineapple and the alcohol crept up on me! I enjoyed my Coronarita too! They have 2 outside seating areas. One that is closed off, and tables on the other side across from JesterZ Improv. Open area so kids can run and play. From what we saw on the inside it had fun decor and roomy.I ordered the red chili enchilada plate and my hubby got a red chili burrito. Seriously authentic Mexican food here. Rito’s is so underrated here in Mesa and not talked about enough! My Nana who has cooked enchiladas her whole life also approves of this place when I brought her some takeout one time. She said “Aiii Mija the red chili is SO GOOD!”The staff was so lovely and waited on us just enough. They made great suggestions and were so kind to us from the minute we walked in to the time we left. I wish I remembered their names, but either way everyone I’ve encountered here has always been so genuinely sweet and pleasant! This place has easily become a favorite and I hope they don’t go anywhere!P.S. MUST TRY ELOTE! I have always gotten it but this time I didn’t but it’s my fave appetizer to get.Kid-friendliness: They have booster or highchairs. If you’re worried about being inside with your toddler(s) sitting outside was perfect for our family. Had a 4 month old and 2 year old and plenty of space for us.”

He was bragging a little so I said would you like for me to give you an honested opinion. He said yes and brought me some to try. Well he knocked it out of the ball park. The brisket had all the right marks. The taste was out of this world. Southside BBQ in Bastrop, TX could surely learn a thing or two from this Arizona Native. Job well done!!!!!!!”

Took a little bit to make it but it was very fresh and fries were perfect! I’d go back for sure when I’m out in Mesa.”

“Portions were surprising generous. When we do sushi we have learned that you just order a couple of rolls and an appetizer or two kind of like if you were at a Tapas Bar. If you want more order more, We split 3 rolls some apps and all 3 of us were quite full. They were busy and no one dropped the ball. Good job guys”

Also included chips, two salsas, tea, lemonade and horchata. Everything was flavorful, but the green chili was the star. Full disclosure the green chili is a bit spicy and I loved it. I will be going to Moreno's specifically for the green chili. Paper plates, napkins and plastic were also included. We were also very happy that they served the food buffet style. Very professional service. Highly recommended.A few days before we enjoyed the menudo at the restaurant. The tripe was tender, flavorful soup and generous portion.”

“This place should have so many more reviews than it does, it is absolutely amazing. I have been seeing videos and posts about birria, which is a type of soup with tons of seasonings and such. I saw that they had ramen birria and I was sold. First off, the ramen birria smelled so so good I was so excited to dig in. Second off, I decided to get it with tacos so I could dip it in the ramen. Hands down the best thing I have ever tasted. I highly recommend if you do like spicy, authentic, Mexican food. The service was quick and the lady who took our order was super helpful.”

“From the quality of food to the amazing service from the staff, Saima's Grill is quite a treasure I dined in here in a party of 6, arrived around 1:00pm on a Saturday. We did not have to wait for a table, but the place quickly became packed! We ordered a variety of dishes, including their famous Chicken Biryani. We also had a variety of their drinks which were all delicious. Portion sizes were generous and prices were not too bad.”

“The food was good, I had the pork burrito and a shredded beef taco. The only downside was the noise, the new building needs acoustic treatment. It's very difficult to carry on a conversation. It was crowded at 2:00 on May 4th. I wish them well, the new building is going to require some sorting out so be patient.”
Sandwich Shop
“I'm normally not a big sub sandwich person but I'm nót exaggerating when I say I was hooked from the first bite! I'm not sure what it is the hot sun, the sauce, the combination of it all but wow! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff too!”

“Best restaurant with live music. They have the best artist who plays all the songs. He is excellent at his job. Our 3year old had so much fun! Must go if you’re a music lover.”

“Simply put: the single best Asian market you will find in all of Arizona, hands-down. We always stop at H-Mart when we're in the East Valley, before we return to the opposite side of the city. We will make a 30 mile trip just to get Mochi Fresh boba and then pick up Tteokbokki, fish cakes, kimari, galbi, bulgogi, and snacks at H-Mart.”

“My experience was wonderful. My server Tracy was very knowledgeable about the menu and even knew things I wanted that I didn't. The team seamed upbeat and happy to help. Tracy was thorough and there for every need, even though my children were asking for things everytime she came back. She smiled and made them feel like what they wanted was a non issue.”

“So I been seeing a lot of reviews for them saying it's not good bc of boxes. If you are looking for atmosphere do not go. But the food is BEYOND delicious! I promise you will enjoy it and love the food. Don't grade them on how it looks base your reviews on the food. Portions are HUGE and the service is fast and efficient! Love this place been going here for 6+ years. Oh and I now moved to San Tan Valley and we still drive down there to get food. Nowhere else is worth the drive!”

“I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to leave this review. My fiance and I tried this place for the first time a few months ago. We walked in, were treated with amazing service, and had the most delicious chicken ever. We rave about this place to all our fiends and family. I had my brother from East Mesa try this place, my cousin from El Paso, my best friend from San Tan Valley, etc. anyone that comes to see us in Mesa, is hearing about how delicious Tipsy Chicken is. We order pickup about once a week, we’re just obsessed. Keep up the amazing work you’re doing, your boba location Cha Tea is also so good!!!”

Hamburger
“Partner was craving a burger so we decided to check out this new spot. It's a small, counter service style place with a very friendly staff and a handful of tables inside and outside. Food was out to us very quickly and the portions are big! I got the grilled cheese with all the added veggies and waffle fries. (They also have a veggie burger which I'll probably try next time.) Partner got a bacon cheeseburger, which was smashburger style, and Nashville hot fries. He very much enjoyed the thick cut bacon that they used on his burger and the fries were addictively spicy. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will return. I have to say, I typically cannot finish a whole meal (usually have to bring half home) but I ate every bite of that grilled cheese! Yum.”

“Been there 5 or so times since they've opened. It's a Chili's so the food is what it is nothing special but decent food. The service though is top notch. They keep soup/salad/chips and salsa flowing on the $10 unlimited lunch deal. They've even given me chips and salsa to go without me asking for it. Best value in eating out.”

“I just met Tristan at the Pleasant Grove location. He is a great guy and the food he creates is amazing! I had the Gyro with a Hummus side and it was so so so so good. Definitely the go to place for Greek food.”
Italian
“Its FAST food ITALIAN, So do not set your expectations of having a 5-star restaurant experience. That being said, I went to my first Fazoli's in Wisconsin, back in 2000, and imo the menu and the flavors have improved, just wish the all you can eat breadsticks they are famous for were more consistent, soft and buttery. Overall the experience was good, however they really need to crack the whip a bit on replenishing the condiment, napkin, silverware area.”
Burgers
“New to our area/neighborhood. Having just opened very busy. With Mc Donald’s, Rally’s & Carl’s Junior close by, competition will be sharp. So….ordered just a cheeseburger, no fries. Short wait, pleasantly surprised. Moist soft bun, smaller (thank you) than most others, ample size patty NOT cooked to death, onions, tomato, lettuce. Yes, will go back.”
“We were pleasantly and very, very surprised with Rodizio as a steakhouse Brazilian-style! Not to be confused with the really, very well-known Argentine Steakhouses great in their own right, but Brazilians have their own and extraordinary style of meat preparation, seasoning and in many ways, more tasty and savory than their counterparts of their neighbors just to the south. Frome their Tri-Tips Mahminas, Frahldina in chimichurri sauce, Parmesão their center-cut parmesan-base concoction, the Picanha top sirloin to the Alho with an incredible infusion of garlic in the beef, delectable chicken hearts, Coração de Frango Temperado one of Brazil's favorite "Churrasco" appetizers, or their fantastic Glazed Pineapple side, you’ll wonder why you’ve never tried this place before. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience, where not having finished your serving a house-gaucho is immediately their to serve you another piece of beefy wonderfulness. I was amazed at how packed this place got – no wonder it’s so popular. This is the place to get your meat-on! Prices are reasonable too!”
