“A Sizzling Anniversary Celebration at Bacanora!
We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary at Bacanora in Phoenix, and what an unforgettable experience it was! The moment we walked in, the lively vibe and cumbia music set the tone for an amazing night. Our server was outstanding, taking the time to explain the menu and making excellent recommendations. The kitchen staff's friendly demeanor added to the warm atmosphere, and it was impressive to see them expertly cooking on an open fire grill.
The food was truly exceptional. We started with the Embered Elote and bone marrow, and it was love at first bite. The smokiness and lime combined to create a masterclass in umami flavors. In fact, it was so good that I wasn't even done and ordered another one to go! The cucumber salad was a refreshing contrast, with the perfect kick from the salsa matcha.
The Pollo Asado was a showstopper – a monster dish that had everything we needed to enjoy. The half chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. The quesadillas, papas, rajas, tortillas, and frijoles all complemented the dish perfectly.
Hands down, this was a 10 out of 10 meal. We're already counting down the days until we can come back and experience the magic of Bacanora again. If you're looking for an authentic, delicious Mexican meal in a lively atmosphere, look no further. Bacanora is a must-visit!”

“Food quality is top notch. Each dish was carefully explained and the server made sure we had the right combination and food pairings.
We had the the beet salad, stuffed pasta, branzino with creamed potatoes, perfectly executed and well seasoned. The portions were just right for a tasting menu.
The service was was attentive, perhaps a bit rushed and the mood of the music contributed to the energy. The tables are very close together which mean the atmosphere is intimate.
All in all, a very good dining experience, that is casual combined with high quality.”

“Platform 18 is such a cool, unique spot. It’s a small space so reservations are a must — but that’s what makes it feel intimate and special.
The bar staff really lean into the immersive experience and make it more than just drinks. It actually feels like you’re transported somewhere else for the night. Definitely worth booking ahead if you want something different in Arizona.”

“Absolutely great experience. Steaks were cooked perfectly, they had about 10 minutes notice it was for a birthday. The table was decorated, and a birthday card from Capitol grill.
Best of all was 6 small servings of dessert and fresh fruit. Great experience.

“Very pleasant visit good food and service. When it involves the First Amendment speaking your beliefs it’s in the best interests for business’s to stay neutral. You gots to remember the First Amendment is only for the far left/democrats. Stay strong but keep opinions to yourselves, which is sad but true with all the weird stuff happening in our world these days.”

Everything was great as usual, but I have to say the loud music turn me off so badly. Wasn’t that way before. I don’t know if I can come back and eat in. But this is what this seems to be now let’s turn the music up so loud people can’t think much less have a conversation if their withsomeone or hear what someone says to them on their cell phone. I asked if they would mind turning it down and they were going to,but somehow never happened.”

The pork was a wondeful taste the rest of the night. Also tried the blackberry mojito that was recommended. I highly suggest stopping by when in the area, well worth the effort.

“Twin Peaks offers a unique and inviting atmosphere with its cabin log feeling as soon as you walk in. The abundance of TVs displaying various sports ensures that you won't miss a moment of your favorite game. The staff, including the friendly and efficient waitress Trinity from New York, adds to the overall positive experience. Starting with the appetizers, they are a highlight of the menu. However, the bacon didn't quite meet expectations. To fully enjoy the variety of options, I would recommend trying the sampler to get a taste of everything Twin Peaks has to offer. My father opted for the Bloody Mary, and he highly recommends it. He also tried the fish-and-chips, which he found to be awesome and would definitely order again. As for my own choice, the spicy meatball parmesan was simply off the charts. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the dish was executed flawlessly. Moving on to dessert, we indulged in the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheesecake and the Twin Peaks Sunday, specifically the first bite of the cheesecake reminded me of the delightful taste of fried ice cream. The Twin Peaks Sunday was equally amazing, with the combination of hot browning and cold ice cream creating a perfect harmony of flavors. Overall, Twin Peaks provided a memorable dining experience. Whether you're looking for a place to catch a game or simply enjoy delicious food, this establishment ticks all the boxes. I would definitely consider returning, especially for a game night. With the exceptional service, delectable dishes, and inviting atmosphere, I wholeheartedly give Twin Peaks a well-deserved 5-star rating.”

“I am a bit behind on my food reviews for this year but that doesn't mean I haven't been to some really amazing places to eat. I absolutely have. In January we chose Seasons 52 for a date night.
Angela was our table side waitstaff who helped me choose the perfect cocktail, offering to substitute it if it wasn't to my liking - but it was. I ordered two Hawaiian Pineapple Comos!
Lobster bisque was creamy, warm, and delightful. Next time I'd get a bowl all to myself instead of sharing! haha :)
My surf and turf was outstanding - the filet was cooked perfectly and the lobster tail was tasty.
The pork chop was perfectly cooked - juicy with the right amount of char to it.
The stuff mushrooms were hot, fresh, and very tasty. I'd get them again.
The crowd pleaser absolutely was the dessert and dessert options. Small they may be (and I may have even said that I'd pay just to get it in a FULL SIZE drink cup lol) but mighty in taste! After all the food we had, the size made sense though. Hats off to the dessert chef!
All in all, a great experience and would recommend them and indeed come back again in the future. Delicious :)”

Couldn’t believe how good a bean burrito is from here, been going and ordering different places and non measure to the taste of the bean burrito, always delicious no matter what I decide to order here. Whether I go dine in or thru drive-thru the atmosphere nice and welcoming from the staff here they have been very good. CHRIS stands out his customer service is exceptional, he is all that goes in to an exceptional customer service when working with customers. I’m 30 or so minutes now from here but stop when I get the chance.”

“Great crowd, delicious food, but parking can be a challenge. There is a turkey on the premises, but it's not for eating. Child-friendly, but beware that there is a pool that may or may not be accessible from a nearby roof. Patrons have been known to break out in song over a loud speaker from time to time, but the vibes are good. If you're feeling adventurous, ask for the special whiskey. Overall, highly recommend! It's the kind of place you'll find yourself coming back to time and time again.”

The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite. What makes Abeer so special is the love and pride she pours into her work. She doesn’t just run a restaurant — she creates an experience. The flavors are rich and comforting, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere reflects her welcoming personality. You can tell she truly cares about every customer and every detail.”

Ethiopian • $
“This was my first experience eating Ethiopian food, and it was fantastic! The menu offers extensive options for vegans and those who prefer healthy foods. My date ordered the vegan combo, and I particularly enjoyed the carrots in the atikilt wot—they were sweet in the best possible way. I ordered the Doro Wat, which was savory and spicy. The injera, a bread that is like a cross between a tortilla and a pancake, was unique and delicious. They serve a variety of drinks, including Mexican Fanta, Sprite, Diet Coke, Coke, and Pepsi. Their traditional tea with honey and ginger was also soothing and a perfect complement to the meal. There's a full-service bar as well. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with entire tables of families chatting amongst each other. Every month, usually around an Ethiopian Holy Day, there is a buffet. If you're unsure of what Ethiopian food to try, I recommend starting with the buffet. I will definitely dine here again, especially for breakfast, which I just missed this time! Next time, I'll be ordering the kwanta firfir and scrambled eggs for breakfast—it has my name on it!”

I had the Prime Rib and my husband ordered Filet Mignon. They both were made with perfection. Various staff members kept filling our water glasses.

Every person from the bartender, to the chefs in the back were absolutely amazing and everyone who works there seems so ecstatic to be there. I feel bad for not remembering out waiters name but he was incredibly personable and happy to spend the time talking to us about the food and joking around. He even took us on a private tour of the kitchen where upon entry the entire team greeted us. The head chef/owner is there every night cooking. The food was insanely unique and delicious and beautifully prepared but we would go back for the service and experience alone. This is not dinner, this is a one of a kind Michelin quality dining experience. Thank you!”

Welcoming, personable and great service (I have worked in hospitality the last 6 years). We were there for our anniversary and the waiter came out to serenade us! Our bartender stepped out as we were leaving to say good bye. The food was delicious! Bread, anti-pasto, all the entrees our party ordered all to perfection. 6 top and all the food was hot, pasta cooked perfectly. Truly the best. Wish I we had this place back home. To the owners and the entire staff 5+ stars and 👍👍👍👍👍”

“There are nights when dining in Arizona feels nearly effortless — when the desert air softens, the service hums in rhythm, and the food reminds you that freshness is a virtue, not a luxury. Such was the case during a recent dinner with friends at this exceptional seafood destination. From the moment we arrived, the tone was set. We were promptly seated outdoors, bathed in the glow of a perfect October evening — that rare window when Arizona evenings are made for lingering. Our server was a study in professionalism: knowledgeable, personable, and attentive without ever hovering. Cocktails arrived quickly, each one perfectly balanced — a small but telling sign that the bar here operates with care and precision. The evening’s spotlight belonged, rightly, to the restaurant’s fresh seafood selections. The daily offerings were described with genuine enthusiasm and accuracy, and the experience that followed lived up to every word. Our table began with a round of oysters, each briny and bright, their flavor profiles exactly as advertised. From there, we moved to entrées — all fish, all beautifully executed. The standout was the Hawaiian goldfin snapper — grilled to perfection, its delicate texture enhanced by a gentle char. Paired with carrots and a crisp wine selection, it showcased the kitchen’s ability to let great ingredients shine. Every guest echoed the same sentiment: this was seafood done right, with restraint, confidence, and care. Despite a full house, conversation flowed easily; the space was lively yet comfortable, and the pace of service never faltered. It’s a rare restaurant that captures both precision and warmth, but this one manages it effortlessly. In short, this is a destination for anyone who believes seafood should be both pristine and memorable. Exceptional service, fresh offerings, and a dining atmosphere that celebrates the best of Arizona evenings — this restaurant delivers on every front. Verdict: A truly outstanding spot for fresh seafood, impeccable service, and relaxed sophistication. A must-visit for discerning diners.”

“Here on business from Texas and was searching for a rotisserie chicken place. I saw the star reviews and the pictures, and immediately knew I had to try it. Wow… this chicken is grilled just like in Peru!
Hands down, I would drive the extra miles just to come eat here again. Mister Pio truly brought the heart of Peru to this place. Those who know, know… and for those who don’t, trust me — it’s well worth the wait and the drive. The way this chicken is grilled is completely different and full of flavor.
The salad is their own house salad and I was very impressed — beets, corn nuts, cheese… amazing combination! And the golden fries… WOW. Perfectly crispy, golden, and seasoned just right. Definitely a must-order, even if you have to take some home.
And of course, they have the world-famous Inca Kola (I miss this soda!). I even grabbed two to take back to the hotel. If you know, you know. This famous Peruvian drink even has its own story!
If you’re anywhere nearby, this place is absolutely worth stopping for. Thanks Mister Pio, you brought back some memories! Keep up the good grilling!”

“Visiting Buck & Rider Camelback on National Oyster Day has become an annual tradition for my friends and I. Mike Murphy, the Executive General Manager, and his team, do a phenomenal job, especially given the onslaught of customers during this annual celebration. The fresh pull-apart dinner rolls, crispy Brussels sprouts, dungeness crab wedge and Caesar salad were fantastic. But the star of the show where the amazing Rochambeau oysters. Being a native New Yorker, I love East Coast cold water oysters, and these were absolutely perfect, mildly salty and briny upfront, with a sweet and crisp finish. Great job guys. Can’t wait to come back there again!”

“If you're in Phoenix, you've got to hit up Vayal’s Indian Kitchen.
The biryani is legit—fluffy, fragrant rice and meat that actually melts in your mouth. Their curries are just as good, with a rich, authentic Chettinad spice that hits perfectly. It’s the kind of food that feels like a home-cooked meal.
The service is super friendly, and the whole vibe is just easy and welcoming.”

“We just came in with a large group and sat at a firepit. We were told to leave after a few min due to a large group reservation in an hour. We talked to the manager who told us we could stay for an hour until the reservation showed. Our table was ready after about 30 min. We were stuck in the back of a private area where 2 people didn’t receive their food until half way through and one person waited for a condiment for the entire meal. Another person got her drink order filled at the very end of the dinner. Before we left they seated 2 other tables extremely close to us when many many other tables were available! During a pandemic! Horrible experience from a usually very enjoyable place. Poorly poorly managed!”

My only disappointment was when it came time to pay we were charged an extra 4% on top of our bill because we paid with a card and I feel like that is something that should be noted ahead of time. It was our first time there so it caught us off guard. ESPECIALLY since I was charged extra to tip 😬 Everything about this establishment is wonderful, they just need to change whoever it is they are doing business with to process their card transactions.”

“Been going to this location since 1986. Todays kitchen use to be the entire restaurant the dinning room used to be a laundry. Personally, I believe Carolina's (especially this location) to be the best Mexican food in Phoenix.

“Our experience at Wren and Wolf was far superior to any other dining experience we have ever had. A close friend made the recommendation so when we scheduled our trip to PHX we jumped on the chance to try it out. The Staff was very experienced and willingly shared their food knowledge. The food itself was tremendously fantastic in every possible sense. The beef tenderloin and lobster had so much flavor and the texture was right on point. We had difficulty in choosing just one dessert so we got all 3 and shared them. That was the best decision of the night. Overall we give the restaurant a 10+”

Our waitress Brittney was next level and gave us excellent recommendations. The food was nothing I can even describe it was so unbelievable and I am dreaming of when we can go back. Then to top it all off Brittney brought out sparklers and the most delicious bowl of ice cream for desert to celebrate my husbands big day. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant!!

We had the the beet salad, stuffed pasta, branzino with creamed potatoes, perfectly executed and well seasoned. The portions were just right for a tasting menu.
The service was was attentive, perhaps a bit rushed and the mood of the music contributed to the energy. The tables are very close together which mean the atmosphere is intimate.

I ordered a specialty slice (pepperoni, bacon and black olives, 1st topping is free and extras are $0.50), fried pickles, a plain quesabirria taco and a vanilla banana cream cake. The food was amazing. the pizza was perfectly cooked with a twisted, garlic and herb brushed crust, it was thin with a well cooked bottom and so big they give you a pizza cutter with your slice. The pickles were perfectly fries pickle chips, light, and crunchy with a good batter. The quesabirria taco looked messy- but dont judge it by its looks. it was perfectly cooked, no part of it was dry, the meat was super juicy and flavorful- but not super spicy so it was easy on my sensitive stomach. I'll be coming back as much as I can.”
