Best Restaurants
“10/10 all around. The food was very creative in the best way. Can exceed the $50-100 dollar price range, but well worth the price. Staff was very welcoming and friendly, and very informative to those new to do upscale dining.”
“I love this place . Service is always friendly and welcoming . The food is always great tasting and cooked to order. I usually get a nothing the back . Like to eat alone . Definitely a place to eat and enjoy your self”
“One of the best Sushi restaurants in Arizona!I’ve loved Harumi since they started out in the small building across the 1st from their current location and love seeing what they have grown into! The sushi at Harumi was well worth the wait back then, and I was happy to see that menu has mostly stayed the same, with the addition of some elevated cocktails!The new location, is gorgeous and upscale. And while much larger, you’ll still find a bit of a wait because of how amazing the food truly is at Harumi!The staff at Harumi was also some of the best I have seen in and around the Phoenix area! Everyone was so amazing, nice and took care of us!I can’t wait to come back for more!”
“I had the pleasure of eating here today. Amazing service. Fantastic food. We will definitely be back. Parents of graduating seniors- I notice they also cater! Great idea for an open house! It always feels good to support local!”
“My friends and I ended up here after going to pizzeria Bianco and the wait was too long. We were not disappointed by this place. The food was amazing and the empanadas are a staple. The service was amazing.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had a reservation for 6:45 pm on Friday night but arrived an hour early because I was famished. Knowing they couldn't seat us early, we waited at the bar until our table was ready. Surprisingly, they were able to seat us a little after 6 pm. It's our second time here, and although it's been over a year since our last visit, I was reminded of our previous meal by the photos I took. The food lived up to my memories; we ordered the same entree and dessert, and tried a mussel special this time. While the mussels were good, we felt they were overpriced at $28 compared to others we've had for $15-$18. The Chargrilled Beef Tenderloin Medallions seemed smaller than before. However, the chocolate bread pudding was still exceptional--moist and not overly sweet. Overall, dinner was delicious, and we hope not to wait another year before returning.”
“I really fell in love with Kaizen last night. The service was impeccable, sushi some of the best I have ever had! The wine was perfectly paired. I think I just found a new favorite restaurant. Thank you Kaizen team!”
“I've had the pleasure of dining here on multiple occasions, and each visit is just as delightful as the last. The standout feature for me has always been the exceptional customer service. Brenda, in particular, exudes a warm and inviting personality that makes every dining experience memorable. The food, especially the Pollo con Tajadas, is nothing short of delicious. The generous portions are notable – often more than enough for one person, ensuring you leave satisfied. My frequent visits have allowed me to interact with Victoria, Brenda, and the rest of the team, all of whom consistently display a level of friendliness and professionalism that truly sets this place apart. It's a pleasure to recommend such a welcoming and delicious dining experience to others.”

“Every time I come here, I am amazed by Dayana"s service. My family is so grateful. We need more skilled and talented and caring and just all around GREAT servers, and people, like her in this world. I will continue to come here with my family and request Dayana for our server. Thank you Denny's, & thank you Dayana. May GOD Bless you & your life ?Oh, and when Mat cooks? The food literally ALWAYS amazing ?”

“I hardly ever leave reviews but I truly felt like this place deserved it. This is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Phoenix. Not only that, but the staff were so incredibly nice. My husband and I ordered an online pickup when I went inside to pick it up and it wasn’t ready they offered me a seat and water. I didn’t wait even 10 minutes over the suggested time for pickup. Everyone I came into contact with was friendly and the food was fresh, hot, and delicious. We got a chicken torta, asada sope, shrimp cocktail, guacamole and chips. Our total was around $63 with a tip. We thought it was a good price for the quality and quantity of food. We will definitely be back!”

“Valentine has been on my list for a long time so when we finally made it to Melrose for dinner we pulled no punches on our ordering. If we didn't get everything on the menu we were close. The restaurant itself is cute and delightfully photogenic which helps set the tone for a great meal. On the cocktail front, most were good. The only standout to me was the hatch chili margarita served in a glass boot which was as tasty as it was eye catching. Similarly, most of the food was above average with nothing being bad. The Elote pasta is the standout - it was outstanding. Basically this is a carbonara style pasta with Elote flavors instead of the traditional bacon. The execution on this dish is perfect. Prices are quite high for what you get on most dishes and cocktails and if there was more value, I'd likely have a better rating. That said, I'd return and I definitely would like to come back for pastries from the coffee bar if driving by in the AM.”

“Yummyyyy, I love coming here for a taste of home. I’m originally from the east coast and grew up in a Puerto Rican community where all the goods taste just like they do here, it’s so hard to come by PR restaurants and so lucky to have found Phoenix Coqui !!”

“The churro cheesecake with ice cream & homemade sweet cream is a must try. If you're from out of town, the owner is happy to suggest some great restaurants and nightlife.”

“love the location, funny enough I live down the street!! haha what a wonderful spot to go have a few drinks and spend time with friends!! blueberry spaceship box for the win always, but the pillars of creation is where it's at. Stop by for happy hour for good vibes and great prices!!”
“Okay, this might be questionable but this was probably the best coffee cake I've had. I don't even think they make it there but where ever it came from it's delicious and paired perfectly with my vanilla latte. Service was great, and the outdoor swing and climbing vines are so cute and quaint. There's something whimsical about this shop, makes me want to come back for more!”

“Another excellent dinner! Koobideh, beef barg and my favorite, chicken tenders. Everything was so delicious and full of flavor. The beef was tender and moist. Love the new aluminum containers. Maybe a little lightweight to hold your generous portions! Take a look at Unlimited Bag & Supply. They are local and might have other options. Thanks for making dinner easy and delicious! Hasmik & Tony are awesome!”
“So, so good just very, very small but my friend got us a spot when I came down to Phoenix! Honestly I have really low opinions of most Arizona places but this one is HIGH! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious”
“Very intimate and definitely one of the better Michelin restaurants I've been to. I will be back and definitely recommend the chefs wine pairing. 10/10 experience staff was very knowledgeable and respectful. Selected the premium add-ons with zero regrets.”
“World-class cocktails with a world-class experience. The cocktails focused on a culinary experience by pairing most drinks with a small snack to accentuate the cocktails. It was really impressive. Highly recommend!!”
“Local restaurant exceeded my expectations. Bacon wrapped shrimp and green Chile cornbread were awesome. A little pricy but worth it. You get what you pay for in this case. Service was top notch too.”
“Service was outstanding! And the food? One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Absolutely perfect evening. The artichoke app was sooooooo good! Will definitely be returningDietary restrictions: The gluten sensitive menu was pretty big and had great choices”
“Used to be a great place to hang out and meet amazing people from all walks of life. The manager is stand off ish and the culture has become so clique ish. Not open or accepting. There are so many former customers such as myself that have left and will not come back because of it. Also, they ironically preach about creating a "sober" environment but actively sell substances some of which are quite addictive (kratom). Steer clear and find other kava bars that are more welcoming and less judgy.”
“We had an amazing time at Steak 44. The food is outstanding, and the steaks are well prepared. The cocktails are delicious, making it hard to only have one. If this isn't enough, the service is impeccable, taking your dining experience to another level. We will definitely be back for another memorable dinner.”
“We dined here for a special occasion and had a wonderful time. Jade was an amazing waitress and remember us from a previous visit. She made us feel very welcome and made our evening special. We were sat in their wine room which was absolutely perfect for our evening. The food was delicious and the wine offerings had bottles from our favorite wineries.”
“Taylor was a delight to have as our server. We had a little snafu that was expertly corrected by the manager (I should have gotten his name) quickly and professionally. We had a wonderful dinner and truly enjoyed our experience!! I must say the King crab, oysters and mussels were absolutely delicious!!”
“Food is great! Love the music. Rachael, our server, was wonderful. Looking forward to coming back to Tryst!Dietary restrictions: Great place for people who have food allergies, who are vegan, eyc.”
“Still a hidden gem and one of the best spots in the Central Valley, Cristos offers a true “Old School” Italian vibe. Classic food and old school cocktails paired with spectacular service, this place can’t be beat for an intimate date or a great group night out!”

She met all our needs super quickly and made sure we had all the extra little things like napkins and refilled our drinks. her section was slammed. the food was really good. we had a group of 4 everyone was super happy with their food. my burger was delicious and my guys breakfast was also bomb. Thank you Marie.”

“I’ve been to Dennys from California all the way to Florida. This location is by far the best location I have been to ever. The server Tamea was absolutely perfect, gave us enough time to make our selections, but didn’t leave us sitting and waiting. The food was A++ Hot and not soaked in oil thank the cook Julian for that. Jill (the manager) was fun, cracked some jokes back and forth when we came in, you can tell the employees enjoy her as they were joking and having friendly conversations the entire time we were there. Would be 10 * if I could. Great staff, great service, and Great food!”
“Employees are polite and courteous. They tend to your needs promptly. And the food is delicious, very well cooked.4/26/2024Had a new waitress in training take my order today. She did quite well, given her being nervous. Order was taken accurately and the food was good. Dora, another waitress, was training and observed her procedures. Paid attention to everything to ensure she was following procedure.”
“Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and guided through the menu. Matthew answered all my questions and provided helpful recommendations. Tables were clean and we didn't wait too long for our food 10/10 considering this was the only place that was open, I didn't have great expectations but the food was great and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.”
“It’s the Waffle House. Have some waffles.Being a regular to this location, my meal is prepped as I have ordered many times before. Most days without speaking, I love that service from Waffle House OG Employees. The establishment is clean, the food comes well prepared and in a timely manner. Never a disappointment at the Waffle House! Oh and the grits, just right, savory, butter filled and ready every time!!Kid-friendliness: I’ve eaten Waffle House as a kid as well as my own child. See children at the Waffle House often.Wheelchair accessibility: There are wheelchair accessible seating as well as ramps to enter from the parking lot into the establishment”
“Our favorite breakfast spot!! Food is consistently good, best hash browns with jalapeños, eggs spot on as ordered and the waffle is always a winner!! Great customer service and price.”
“Ordered online for pick up, received a notification when food was ready. Everything was hot and very very tasty!! (side note: ordered from parking lot for 2 reasons... 1) early in morning, feeling unsociable couple of people inside, 2) wanted to see when i got notification vs. when food was sitting on counter)We (my woman and I) ordered pecan, peanut butter, choc. chip waffles all very good, and combo breakfast bowls... BOTTOM LINE... ALL FOOD ORDERED WAS BOMB!!!!”
“I like the bathrooms. Also Annie is a great sous chef. Chops veggies like a pro. Almost gave it 4 stars because I lost at monopoly so there's a little bad juju in the place.”
“I had to write a great review after trying to take my family to Black Bear Diner and having a terrible experience. This Waffle House is our families go to!!! Outstanding every time”
“Came in for the first time over the weekend! We loved how exclusive and quiet it felt, definitely a gem no one has spotted yet! The vibe is so charming and music was great! Servers and hosts were so friendly and treated us like we were guests in their home! Very personable and great experience! There is no on site parking as this spot is right on Roosevelt so street parking or a parking garage is going to be your best bet. We are locals in downtown so we walked over! Came in around 7pm there were only 2 other parties inside. I started with the Dill or no Deal cocktail, very refreshing and great drink to start off with while we waiting for our Seafood tower. The Dill or no deal reminded me of a Greek afternoon. They do give you a complimentary glass of champagne with your water as well which was pretty tasty as well. I am not much of a champagne drinker unless I am at brunch however this one was smooth! Everything is made at the Chef's table I wish we sat up there to see everything being made and plated as everything was plated beautifully! Our Seafood tower came with oysters (100/10) poached prawns, mussels, snow crab claws, mini lobster rolls, and nori infused sushi rice. We ordered 3 more oysters on the seafood tower as we are oyster lovers. We also got their seafood ceviche which was incredible! It came with banana chips which was so different yet complimented the flavors of the ceviche! As for our entrees I ordered the Braised Pork Belly and my boyfriend got the Chef's special of the night which was Cacio E Pepe. We ordered another round of drinks and got the tasty espresso martinis! The drinks are pre batched so be aware as to no alcohol substitutes. I do like their cocktails more than when it was just the Pour Bastards concept.. I prefer tequila in my espresso martini however their vodka based martinis weren't bad. When our entrees arrived I was amazed at how beautiful everything was plated! The Cacio E Pepe you could tell was fresh made pasta not some store bought boxed pasta. The fresh black pepper was present and cooked perfectly! I absolutely loved my Pork Belly, it melted in my mouth and had the right amount of balsamic glaze. It was truly a filling and very tasteful dinner! One of the best dinners I have had In Downtown in a while! From vibe to service to employee knowledge and the quality of what is used in the food.. Chefs kiss! We ended our meal with the Banana Cheesecake, which is a deconstructed Cheesecake. The cheesecake was so light and fluffy not weighing down in your mouth. Paired with eh crunch of the candied walnuts and soft banana bread crumbles. I was in heaven at this moment. If you haven't tried Pretty Penny you are missing out!!”
“Great service with Mikaela and Stephanie . I ordered a double cheeseburger that was cooked perfectly. The front staff was professional and food was delivered in a timely manner. Cashiers was right at the front to cash me out. I’m please how organized and professional Mickael and Stephanie performed there jobs.”
“Their food tastes authentic and delicious. Meat quality is better than most Mexican fast food joints in Arizona (and I come from California). I had their spicy chicken fries that were amazing; I would highly recommend it if you like spice!”
“Grabbed a couple of deserts from here and sat outside in their cute little patio area!Loved having so many vegan options for sweet treats and the churro donut will forever be a favorite!”
“Excellent coffee, teas, and vegan munchies. Fun and imaginative drinks for any mood. Highly recommend trying any of their coffees or teas with their various flavored foams. The iced blueberry tea with blueberry foam is light, refreshing, and out of this world. Steep is also a warm and inviting place to come hang out and work. I am usually disappointed with vegan food offerings in coffee shops, but their breakfast sandy is delicious! The slaw in the sandy takes it over the top.”
“Local restaurant exceeded my expectations. Bacon wrapped shrimp and green Chile cornbread were awesome. A little pricy but worth it. You get what you pay for in this case. Service was top notch too.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Was recommended to try this place nearing the end of our trip, wish we knew sooner as this place served the best tacos and burritos!!! I want more!!! The steak meat used is proper whole pieces of steak that’s grilled infront of you being they finely chop it up and they you add your own salad toppings from the bar! Great food would love to go back.”
“I went there for some tacos and the food was so yummy! Definitely worth the prices which aren't terrible at all. Definitely will go back. They had my order out in 5 minutes or less and were super nice.”

“I've been on the hunt for a good coffee shop that does latte art and Window Coffee Bar has been a place that I've wanted to try for a while. I loved the service it was very fast and efficient. The staff is friendly. The girl did a good job on the latte art very beautiful and it was my first time trying it out. The decorations and vibe was also very nice and chill.”
“Great little brunch spot with super friendly people taking good care of you. Food was very yummy! Fried chicken and waffles were a big win as well as the croissant sandwich (we would have loved a little mayo based sauce or herby sauce like Chimichurri)Waffles were great and had great crisp on the exterior. We thought the Pancakes were very yummy but weren't as fluffy as we like.All around a very yummy spot we would frequent if it were in our city.Thanks Michelle and team!”
“Great breakfast burritos, and excellent tacos! This is the closest I've found to a traditional SoCal taco joint. The staff is very nice and while the menu is not as fancy as some higher end places, the food is excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Chile Rellenos. Well done! The hole in the wall space feels appropriate for a great taco meal!! Clean and you can tell the owners have pride. Well done!”
“Very good! Reasonable prices and always really tasty. The house sauce is really good, and it’s nice that you can add on to the combos they have which are also good deal”
“Absolutely the best ice cream place that you'll find in Phoenix. Not only is the ice cream delicious, but the people that work there are enthusiastic about what they do. It really makes the full experience positive and unforgettable. Check it out, you won't forget it!”
“We try different sandwiches, and we love them all. We appreciate the quality of the meats and the beads. We also recognize the quality of customer service. They were nice and served the food pretty fast. I will be back for sure.”
“This place was amazing !!! Fun atmosphere wonderful service. Our 1st time here with my family of 8, the waitress was so kind and helped guide me what to order I had no idea what to do. She was so kind and helpful. We had the best time. Understand everything is freshly made so it takes some time but absolutely worth it !! Order the coffee mid meal you won't regret it !!”
“This has become our go to place for lunch for me and my work besties! The tacos are so flavorful and they use homemade tortillas. You can see them making the tortillas in the window when you are ordering. Try the Flamingo! It's my favorite but the fish tacos are out of this world too. They have frijoles a la charra (whole beans) and salads too. Be sure to try their agua Frescas Every one of them are refreshing. They do have a happy hour 3-6 daily and ALL DAY on Tuesdays!”
“Went on a Saturday night. This place is the "sister" place to Nami which is next door. The guy who took our order was pretty great. The food was amazing, however they forgot one of the burgers we ordered. We tried calling but they were closed. Overall, I would return if I lived in AZ....I would just check my order before I left however.”
“DELISH!!! Don't remember what they recommended but it was good. everything I've had has been so good you can't go wrong! I'll be going back often!”
“Great little brunch spot with super friendly people taking good care of you. Food was very yummy!

“Some of the best tacos I've ever had! 10/10 I recommend the Baja tacos with fried shrimp and the strawberry margarita. They were both delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”
“It’s always a fun time, closing down the restaurant at 1:00 am! Great service. The employees played along with our antics, and the fries were fresh and salty and absolutely amazing! Will miss this place when we return to Michigan for the summer.”
“So delicious! We had an open frybread with red and green chile, a machaca burrito combo (with green chile sauce), and plain frybread - all were exy and I would get them again. The machaca was really flavorful and juicy. The plain frybread comes with lots of fun toppings you can add yourself - my favorite was honey + cinnamon sugar. Highly recommended!”
“Great spot for casual dining, awesome happy hour specials (Happy hours, runs most of the day)! Truly fantastic staff. Sam took great care of me at the bar and recommended items on the menu. She was very accommodating. Also had the pleasure of being greeted by Cynthia (Management). She made a point to stop and chat with me. Very friendly and gracious. The food was very good. I highly recommend this place.”
“Such a friendly place to relax or work. Kind staff, great food, delicious iced tea. Try the grilled cheese and peanut butter cookies, some of my favorite choices! I love it here… ?”
“One of my favorite bagel + coffee duos in Phoenix! My go-to is an everything bagel & pistachio latte with an extra shot. The staff here are always so kind and orders come out fast. This is a queer space! Be courteous today and always :)”
“Stoped by to try it out, and we are very impressed. My blackberry mocha is delicious, and the chocolate scone went with it perfectly. This little hidden nook has a lovely atmosphere inside, and a well shade outdoor space.”
“Great family-run neighborhood spot; I'm so happy it's here. Fried sides (like the zucchini and mushrooms) are a must, and the shakes are my favorite. The only thing that could be improved about the burgers is the bun. It's a classic burger joint that also has delicious unique items.It takes longer than you think it should (they don't start grilling until you've ordered), but I've always felt it's worth it.Parking: There's 4 or 5 spots, but you'll have to sit in the drive through line to exit anyway.”
“I was a California native and there was an In-N-Out near me and the lines inside and for the drive through were always massive. It's nice to go to one that didn't have a long wait to get to the delicious food ?”
“Not the best In n Out, but we still go often because it’s close. I really wish they would respect the “fries well done” request. I don’t really care if they’re busy. ALL In n Outs are busy, and all the other ones will cook the fries correctly. I think they should just be cooked longer in general, but they aren’t, so I special order. Nobody likes soggy fries. ”
“everyone is full of energy and. they all smile . I come in late like the last half hour they are open and they are still busy and in good spirits. the food tastes fresh and it comes out hot.”
“Excellent location with fantastic food and service.The restaurant was clean and the location was conveniently located close to the interstate for a quick dine and dash.How cannot go wrong when choosing In-N-Out,the best hamburger chain in America ??”
“We usually go here for coffee (because it's delicious) but we had a few prescriptions to pick up at Walgreens and needed something new for dinner so we decided to try their food. BEST DECISION! It tasted phenomenal! We have a few GF members in our family and they loved it! It tasted so good they thought it wasn't actually gluten free (it was though). This is now a new spot for us, we will be eating here on the regular. Madison helped us today and she was so great very helpful and the service she provided matched the amazing food 100%! 5 stars ALL around! Nice work!”
“Always great food and friendly service!! Def worth going out of my way for lol!! ???I also highly recommend the nachos, I just didn't have a pic to share atm ??Very small inside, so not ideal for a large group to dine in, but I'm usually grabbing mine on my way home from work, so always to go lolParking: Parking lot is tiny for this little strip mall, but I've never NOT been able to park ?”

“This place is one of the best steak houses in Phoenix and we have been going there for years. Our friends and I went there for their anniversary on 4/20. Our waitress didn't come up to our table for 20 min after sitting down, when she finally arrived, she didn't ask us any of the things they usually ask. Is this your first time dinning with us, are you celebrating anything special this evening? She seems confused and stressed. So we gave her the benefit of the doubt. She brought our drinks and bread then never saw her again til the check. The cook brought our food out which was incorrect. I order a 12 Oz prime rib and got a 8 Oz prime rib, and my friend ordered a medium ribeye that came out almost well done. We would have said something about all the food being incorrect, but like I said previously she didn't come back til the check. Considering we have eaten there many time and never had anything bad I assumed it was the waitress that did not fill out the order correctly. When she came with the check we had to tell her it was their anniversary as to which she replied, OH?? then i owe you a dessert. She was terrible.”
“My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint at all. Nolan was our server and I would tell anyone coming here to ask for him as your server. He’s kind, polite and very knowledgeable about the menu as well. The food was top notch, I had the sea scallops my husband had the 8oz fillet and we loved it. The 5 layer carrot cake is to die for. We’re already can’t wait to come back!”
“The design and ambience of this restaurant is absolutely stunning and the service is superb. Each course is artistically plated and served in unique and pleasing serve wear. The flavours in each dish are finely crafted and hit your taste buds like fireworks on the 4th of July! If you are seeking a full evening of happiness in hedonistic pleasures, I encourage you to dine at Christopher’s!”
“Best meal I’ve had for years. We came to celebrate our anniversary while vacationing in Scottsdale and I was pleasantly surprised. They gave us the primo table in the corner with curved windows and a drop dead gorgeous view, and pampered us like I remember great restaurants used to. They even gave me a small velvet stool for my nice purse. I had their duck, it was the most creatively prepared and tender duck I’ve ever had, with a picante mole sauce. He had the Nebraska tenderloin, and it rivaled the beef we raised at my family’s property growing up. What a gem. We’ll be back!Wheelchair accessibility: Make sure to drive up the hill to the valet section in front of the mansion. We parked below and walked up what feels like 100 steps to come in the back way from self parking.”
“Love this place! The Farm is such a gem in the Phoenix area. The property is adorable and the food and service was outstanding again. It's always fun to show up an hour early and grab a cocktail and walk the property and take some memorable photos.”
“A big shout out to the team at Smallcakes. They made just the perfect cake for an important birthday celebration. I was in a bit of a pinch and needed a cake on relatively short notice. They managed to fit my order and they incorporated my little one's essential requests for her grandma's perfect cake: purple AND lots of sprinkles. The cake looked fabulous. It was deliciously chocolatey AND gluten free. I could not be more happy and will definitely be purchasing from them in the future.”
“Was looking frantically for a gender reveal cake with less than a 24 hour notice with most bakeries telling me straight up they couldn't do it. Then I finally called and went to sweet land bakery and they were able to do it for me. The owner and the lady at the counter were so helpful in making sure I was able to get something that I would be happy with the small time frame. Came in with no suggestions and they were able to give me some and help me decide on a burning reveal cake, with tres leches and buttercream icing. Not only was it delicious, the presentation was amazing and the look was great for the time frame that was given. Highly satisfied and will definitely be coming back for future events, but will be giving a bigger time frame ?”
“Just wanted to express my appreciation! The cake turned out better than I could have imagined. The piping is immaculate and my guests were so impressed. The cake was delicious as always. Thank you so much for helping to bring the vision of my party to life!”
“Nice romantic place, rotating at the top of the Hyatt. The main dish was forgetful but the appetizers were great! Good service. Good for a little date nightVegetarian options: Good veggie options!Parking: I parked on the street for free but it was after 7pm.Wheelchair accessibility: Roll on in”
“I was craving ceviche and I work late. Good ol' Yelp search and I find this place. I work off Peoria and the I17. About a 13 minute drive from work it's 10:45PM. I called asked size she didn't have size but I'm like what the hay give it a try. It was a bar and grill, loud live Mexican music was clean. Security guard outside checking people before they went in. Now this is not the conversation spot lol. My Latino folks love their music & dance. But that music will be blaring and I was just fine with it because that is a true sign of the authenticity of what I just walked into a Latino bar and grill. Ceviche was very good. My only issue is I would liked some Tapatio packets or cups of the hot sauce at the table to go. Fluffy Grandma recommends!!!”
“I’ve been coming to this bakery for a few years now and I truly love their food, service and the experience they give me. They also have great employees. The last time I was there a lady named Sylvia helped me and she was wonderful. Super kind and listened to everything I needed. Big kudos to everyone at this store! Keep up the great work!”
“This five star review is very personal. If I wasn't me, it would get a 3 or 4. But let me convey my feelings. It might make you want to go check it out. I'm a Ukrainian Jew. I used to be a Russian Jew, because when my parents came to the US as refugees, it was ALL just one big, happy, Russia dominated prison camp. Er, did I say prison camp? I meant happy smiley camp. But I digress. So imagine my surprise upon moving to Arizona when I drove past Samarkand Restaurant a block away from my apartment. I came back. I saw that it was Glat Kosher (the the highest level of kosher). Bukhara Jews from Uzbekistan. Wow! So what you get is pretty much as authentic as, Uzbeki food gets. With a Soviet twist... they have borsch. You can't eat there. Unless you're having a party. This is what local Russians - there I go again! People from the former Soviet Union - use it for. It's basically a take away place. I got the ploff and the Uzbek version of piroshki, samos which come with a delicious roast eggplant-based salsa which was probably my favorite of the dishes. All amounting to comfort food for an old soviet refugee like me. The food was good. Not spectacular but good, and the portion was large. The ploff was super traditional, except made with beef instead of lamb. The easily fixed problem? It wasn't spicy enough for me. Anyway, it was a wonderful stroll down memory lane. I'll try the borsch next time.”
“We try different sandwiches, and we love them all. We appreciate the quality of the meats and the beads. We also recognize the quality of customer service. They were nice and served the food pretty fast. I will be back for sure.”
“This place was amazing !!! Fun atmosphere wonderful service. Our 1st time here with my family of 8, the waitress was so kind and helped guide me what to order I had no idea what to do. She was so kind and helpful. We had the best time. Understand everything is freshly made so it takes some time but absolutely worth it !! Order the coffee mid meal you won't regret it !!”
“Went on a Saturday night. This place is the "sister" place to Nami which is next door. The guy who took our order was pretty great. The food was amazing, however they forgot one of the burgers we ordered. We tried calling but they were closed. Overall, I would return if I lived in AZ....I would just check my order before I left however.”
Cheap Eats
“The cheesecake is airy and amazing, it is always a delight. It is so pleasant and it never ceases to amaze how good it is! You can get full cheesecakes here as well if you want specific type, let them know advance, but they do have them the day of as well.”
“We tried four different flavors. I liked all but the fat Elvis. Just wasn’t for me. The dough melt was epic. Had one with vanilla and one with the bourbon caramel toffee. I would definitely come again to try more flavors. Drove past the place twice. Hard to see from the road and not much parking. We parked down the street. Maybe we’ll try another location next time we’re in town.”
“Didn't think I needed to review given the praise and crowds the two times I was there. But the lengua! Best taco I have ever eaten. Everything I had was amazing. Could eat here every day.”
“The food & service were UNREAL. I got the Al Pastor Torta, & three tacos- all of which were great. The service was fantastic from the second we walked through the door. Such friendly people. I will absolutely be back. Phenomenal place!”
“Stopped in on a whim and we were blown away! The entire menu is 100% VEGAN and everything we had was delicious!! The brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portobello pizza was so full of flavor! The drinks were perfect. The staff was so friendly and right on time with everything. We plan to make this a regular thing.”
“I am pretty picky about coffee shops and this one definitely makes my favorite's list here in Phoenix. It is very well designed. I appreciate the large tables and outlets if I work from there. I ordered a dirty chai latte and it was the perfect flavor profile. I hate when they use cheap powders, syrups and added sugars. My latte was more on the herbal side which is my personal favorite. While I was in they had a DJ spinning music casually on a Friday afternoon which was so dope! Big fan of this spot and will have to try the food next time.”
“My 4 year old & I went here for cupcakes 2 months ago, & again 3 weeks ago. Delicious cupcakes, reasonable prices & kind,attentive staff. Beautiful energy & wonderful experience. We will most definitely be back. Thank you”
“Alan and his staff make amazing Thai food and the service is fast. Don't let the building exterior fool you. This is the only good restaurant in south Phoenix.”
“This place serves an epic breakfast. Sat on their heated patio which offers some nice views of the area. Service was amazing and fast. All the food was great, but the pancakes are at a different level. Honestly maybe the best I’ve ever had. If you are in the area makes sure you try this place out.”
“Yummy and authentic food, tastes like home. Always a pleasure to order food from Alberto (el New Yorican himself). Hubby and I are expecting soon so we ordered family size platters of yellow rice w gandules and pernil for thanksgiving. DELICIOUS, this may be the move from now on honestly. Love the warm and friendly service, also feels like home. #Wepa”
“From the veal soup to the slow cooked lamb shank, everything is made from scratch. You can taste the authenticity. The pita bread is unlike any other and perfect with the Cevapi sausages and roasted red pepper sauce....our favorite. And don't forget to try a freshly prepared dessert or two. On our last visit, we were served after the noontime rush and the owner had a moment to sit and visit at our mostly Croation table. She shared with us her passion for creating these dishes and explained how it truly comes from her heart. This is a small family-owned business (she proudly introduced her grandson, son, and daughter-in-law) and exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy supporting. We highly recommend one of our favorite dining experiences in Phoenix!”
“The food is excellent and the service is running on indian time, so I don't mind. Can't find frybread that good on every corner. We'll be stopping there every chance we get!”

“DELISH!!! Don't remember what they recommended but it was good. everything I've had has been so good you can't go wrong! I'll be going back often!”
“World-class cocktails with a world-class experience. The cocktails focused on a culinary experience by pairing most drinks with a small snack to accentuate the cocktails. It was really impressive. Highly recommend!!”
“We had an amazing time at Steak 44. The food is outstanding, and the steaks are well prepared. The cocktails are delicious, making it hard to only have one. If this isn't enough, the service is impeccable, taking your dining experience to another level. We will definitely be back for another memorable dinner.”
“We dined here for a special occasion and had a wonderful time. Jade was an amazing waitress and remember us from a previous visit. She made us feel very welcome and made our evening special. We were sat in their wine room which was absolutely perfect for our evening. The food was delicious and the wine offerings had bottles from our favorite wineries.”
“Taylor was a delight to have as our server. We had a little snafu that was expertly corrected by the manager (I should have gotten his name) quickly and professionally. We had a wonderful dinner and truly enjoyed our experience!! I must say the King crab, oysters and mussels were absolutely delicious!!”
“Didn't think I needed to review given the praise and crowds the two times I was there. But the lengua! Best taco I have ever eaten. Everything I had was amazing. Could eat here every day.”

“Food is great! Love the music. Rachael, our server, was wonderful. Looking forward to coming back to Tryst!Dietary restrictions: Great place for people who have food allergies, who are vegan, eyc.”
“I’ve been to Dennys from California all the way to Florida. This location is by far the best location I have been to ever. The server Tamea was absolutely perfect, gave us enough time to make our selections, but didn’t leave us sitting and waiting. The food was A++ Hot and not soaked in oil thank the cook Julian for that. Jill (the manager) was fun, cracked some jokes back and forth when we came in, you can tell the employees enjoy her as they were joking and having friendly conversations the entire time we were there. Would be 10 * if I could. Great staff, great service, and Great food!”

“I went there for some tacos and the food was so yummy! Definitely worth the prices which aren't terrible at all. Definitely will go back. They had my order out in 5 minutes or less and were super nice.”
“Still a hidden gem and one of the best spots in the Central Valley, Cristos offers a true “Old School” Italian vibe. Classic food and old school cocktails paired with spectacular service, this place can’t be beat for an intimate date or a great group night out!”
“It’s always a fun time, closing down the restaurant at 1:00 am! Great service. The employees played along with our antics, and the fries were fresh and salty and absolutely amazing! Will miss this place when we return to Michigan for the summer.”
“Very intimate and definitely one of the better Michelin restaurants I've been to. I will be back and definitely recommend the chefs wine pairing. 10/10 experience staff was very knowledgeable and respectful. Selected the premium add-ons with zero regrets.”

“The food here is always great. Not quite Texas barbecue style but definitely tasty. The service is excellent and always really welcoming. It's busy though, so you might be in for a wait depending on your timing, but it's definitely worth it. It has been one of my go-to places for a years.”

“Sushi Friend has the freshest fish, no tough, sinewy bits. And creative tasty combinations. Their miso is spot on, I always get 3 just for myself. Kevin has been our go-to sushi chef since we met 18 years ago. We have him cater our special meals. Congratulations Sushi Friend, we'll deserved.”

“So delicious! We had an open frybread with red and green chile, a machaca burrito combo (with green chile sauce), and plain frybread - all were exy and I would get them again. The machaca was really flavorful and juicy. The plain frybread comes with lots of fun toppings you can add yourself - my favorite was honey + cinnamon sugar. Highly recommended!”
“The food is excellent and the service is running on indian time, so I don't mind. Can't find frybread that good on every corner. We'll be stopping there every chance we get!”

“This has become our go to place for lunch for me and my work besties! The tacos are so flavorful and they use homemade tortillas. You can see them making the tortillas in the window when you are ordering. Try the Flamingo! It's my favorite but the fish tacos are out of this world too. They have frijoles a la charra (whole beans) and salads too. Be sure to try their agua Frescas Every one of them are refreshing. They do have a happy hour 3-6 daily and ALL DAY on Tuesdays!”
“We visited based on another friend's review and were not let down. Great food, phenomenal cocktails and fantastic service! Everything was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this place for an adult's night out! Shout out to Taylor for the amazing and prompt service all night.”

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“After a long flight, the first meal we tried was at this Vietnamese restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised. The pho was absolutely delicious and the price was very reasonable.We were craving something warm and comforting after our trip, and the pho hit the spot perfectly. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were cooked just right. It was an excellent way to start our visit.Given how much we enjoyed the pho, we will definitely be returning to this restaurant to try other Vietnamese dishes.”

I can’t recommend this place enough: go stop in and tell ‘em Kyle and Shelby from Denver sent ya! Thanks Tyler!”
“From St.louis and quite familiar with great BBQ and this is right up there with some of the best.Get there early the line from before opening and when sold out closed.If in tempe/ Phoenix must check out”
“Popped by on a Friday night - we ate 3 "named" rolls ; which were excellent! The Sashimi was "meh. Server is EXCELLENT--even when they were PACKED. Fastidiously clean and fresh decor.”
“I wish I lived in phoenix just for the sole purpose of having soup and sausage bistro...everyday. My Slovak roots were screaming with delight of how good the potatoes and pierogis were. My husband had the pork ribs that were kissable to the chef. And the Kievskiy was a nice touch. Bravo. 5/5 stars. Service was quick and very welcoming as well. 5/5, but really overall you guys topped the scale. Thank you!”
“Overall great vibes and energy here. The bartender that everyone is leaving negative reviews about was friendly to us. Loved the outdoor seating and the chill atmosphere!”

“Ordered from here first thing off the airplane due to close proximity to airport. Food was wonderful! Staff were nice and I would definitely eat here again when visiting Phoenix!”
“Found this as I was looking for Mexican food in this area since my family would already be nearby and so happy we stopped in. The food was delicious. We got quesabirria tacos with consommé, al pastor, carne asada and chicken tacos, and chips and salsa. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The chips were still warm. Would definitely recommend if you’re nearby and would come back if we are in the area again. The service was quick. The atmosphere is casual.”
“Since the first day we visited we were met with a first hand tour of the brewery. To keep things short, this place is a must try for craft beer as it has an ever changing amount of beers in tap. Do yourself a favor and come down to experience it yourself and you won’t be disappointed.”
“The Thai wings are undoubtedly some of the best I have ever had, easily ranking among the top three. Although they were not accompanied by any dipping sauce, they did not require any additional condiments to enhance their flavor. The chicken potstickers were equally exceptional. This establishment is certainly deserving of a visit, and I eagerly anticipate dining there again in the future.”
“The drinks and service are next level. Just go - you won't be disappointed. Mitch was an excellent guide to the menu, fun to chat with, and makes incredible cocktails. We had a blast and can't wait to go back!”
“they were fast, the food was piping hot and everything we ordered was soo very delicious. The Margarita was just ok, but for the food, we'll see you again, el Fogón!”
“Chris, who took my call, was excellent and gave me the low-down. Once we arrived for our 35th anniversary, they treated us like gold. The meatball appetizer was awesome, outside waiting area complete with bar and appetizers was a great way to pass the time.The wait is worth it and our server, Rachel, couldn’t have been any more awesome than she was. Great meal, great service and wonderful atmosphere! Please do not pass this Geno when in Phoenix. In fact, our hotel bartender, Meghan, from the Doubletree in Paradise Valley recommended Cibo’s if we would be willing to drive 20-25 minutes. Well worth it!!”
“This place is simply amazing!!!!! Excellent food, great portions and awesome attention from owner and staff. Highly recommended, I wish we had something like this in Texas. Great job Yori and congratulations Phoenix !!!!”

“Mr Moto is an incredible find. I am extremely well traveled and this place can literally hold its own against any pizza restaurant in New York, Chicago and Rome. The pizza is literally that good. Shockingly good.Honestly I never expected to experience this. Certainly not in Phoenix. The high quality of the ingredients used and the sheer propulsion of amazing flavor is something you simply have to experience to understand.Mr Moto is a one of a kind. You will immediately know this for yourself at the very first bite. I for one come back here again and again when I am in town.And you will too.”
“The service was fast and all meals were served at the same time without any issues. Juan was our server, he had a great attitude, he was patient with everyone ordering and gave us great recommendations on drinks, and the menu.”
“The best Mexican food in the Valley. Get the carnitas (taco, burrito, or torta). Also a big fan of their quesadillas, and don’t forget the horchata! This is a gem and you won’t be disappointed.”
“Me and some family visiting from out of town went yesterday for happy hour. Great pricing and awesome quality food. Leaves hope for some still fairly priced Mexican food with good flavor in Arizona . Would definitely visit again and again!!”
“Great place food is very good. Kale salad is too sweet,I think it needs more acid. Short rib taco, is very well cooked, but could use some more tex mex seasoning. Excellent service and happening atmosphere.”
“The best Thai food I’ve had so far. The co-owner/chef (Samma) prepares every dish herself so the quality is consistent. During busy times the wait could be 15-20 minutes, but it’s worth the wait. The other co-owner/husband (Jerry) is usually there helping the staff and welcoming people to insure they have a great experience. They also give discounts to active military and first responders.”
“I ordered Uber Eats and got the Shrimp Alfredo… I was not expecting much with the prices being so reasonable but OMG it was delicious!! The Alfredo sauce was to die for… shrimp cooked perfectly. The only thing I would change is if the tails were off. The enormous side of delicious bread with marinara that was given was a pleasant bonus! I will definitely be back over and over again and tell everyone I know to visit this gem! Thanks Roma Cucina!”
“Food and Service awesome. It is not a fancy restaurant and very small. Great place for takeout. The valley needed a good Indian restaurant and Maya's is it.”
“I had the Chipotle Chicken, it was flavorful and tasty. I didn’t have to wait very long for my order to come out. I appreciate my waitress Alexis who was amazing, very attentive and checked on me quite often.Parking: Suprisingly I found a parking spot near the front door with no problem at all.”
“This place is awesome !I usually don’t go back if they mess up togo orderBut even togo was perfect !I recently move to Laveen, i live pretty closeI’m happy ! I definitely want to try again !Service was very nice too!”
“GET Phoenix hosted an event with Greenwood Brewing in late March. Our attendees were blown away with the courtyard area that was reserved for our private event! Paloma was a huge help with coordinating and a pleasure to work with, highly recommend!”
“Edit: I had a not great experience with a gentleman who answered the phone when I was trying to do a take out order, but after leaving a review talking about it I got a call from the owner saying she would address the problem. She was really nice on the phone and I'm glad the issue was resolved. I look forward to hopefully trying the food some time soon.”
“They had several things however no St. Joseph pastries! Not one! That's huge for Italians so I was pretty disappointed in that but their pizza looked delicious.”
“This place is so good that I had to come 3 days in a row to try more of their menu options. A true gem. Their chicken and biscuit meal is to die for.Wheelchair accessibility: Yup!”

“This is not about food. My Rubios app had been hacked two orders had been placed on 2 different cards $170.00. This store was extremely nice, helpful and understanding they reversed the charges. They are outstanding in my book. Awesome! Thank you to the wonderful staff that helped me out. 10 stars from me”
“Never a bad meal here! Love this place … every time we are visiting family in Phoenix we come here for dinner! Variety of food picks … chicken dishes are my favorite … noodle dishes are great too ! Serious service attention and prices are competitive….”
“Parking: It was our second time here, so we just went a bit earlier and parking was fine. Just know on busy nights you might need to park across the street. But still worth it!!! Helps to walk off the huge steak!!”
“I LOVE this place!!! Water is the BEST in town!! I always have good banter with the staff, they are always quite clever and sharp :), not your typical dummies behind the counter. I also love the Thrifty options, don't indulge too often but love the fact that they have the Malted Crunch, YUM!!”
“I was in a bind and Cookie Brokers was able to help me with a quick turn around after my Etsy order cancelled on me 4 days prior to my event. They were quick to respond and put incredible detail into these cookies that also taste delicious! Thank you, I’ll be back!”
“Had simple bacon and eggs with potatoes and refried beans, platter style. Has the feel of a Nogales store inside. Decent food. FYI they do have a restroom I believe. I didn't use it so hopefully it's open to the public. Small restaurant inside of what looks like a pretty old neighborhood convenience store.”
“Everything I've had at the Durango Grill is absolutely amazing! The food, the service are impeccable. I love how personable and friendly the staff is. And I especially love how well Richard makes our food!”
“I've been wanting to try this place for a long time now so last night we did and we were not disappointed. We ordered the yellow curry (spice level 2) and the green curry (spice level 3). Both were delicious! As far as spice/heat levels goes, 3 is decent if you like spicy. 4 would probably be good. I got a 2 because the waitress told me the 3 was pretty spicy but I like spicy but I ordered the 2 just to be on the safe side being my first time there. Now we know and I would order a higher spice level. The atmosphere was nice and cutely decorated. We can't wait to go back and try more things from their menu.”
“I've enjoyed Fahdi's menu, at another restaurant. I just happened to stumble into his new location and am SO excited! While waiting for my falafel & hummus, I snapped a picture of the menu and sent it to my family. What a GREAT (re)discovery!!!”
“We are from Cali and stumbled upon brunch snob through a social media post and we were not disappointed! This was by far the best brunch we have had ever ! I have no complaints down to the decor ! Bathroom decor is perfect lol we will definitely be back just to eat here ! Service was also perfect !”
“I've had the pleasure of dining here on multiple occasions, and each visit is just as delightful as the last. The standout feature for me has always been the exceptional customer service. Brenda, in particular, exudes a warm and inviting personality that makes every dining experience memorable. The food, especially the Pollo con Tajadas, is nothing short of delicious. The generous portions are notable – often more than enough for one person, ensuring you leave satisfied. My frequent visits have allowed me to interact with Victoria, Brenda, and the rest of the team, all of whom consistently display a level of friendliness and professionalism that truly sets this place apart. It's a pleasure to recommend such a welcoming and delicious dining experience to others.”
“I love that Angel's Naijinp cuisine represents the rich Nigerian flavored.in Phoenix!. Coming from New York where you can get any type of food at any time, it is refreshing to see the ethnicity out here. The owner Angel , is welcoming and so warm. She allows people to sample before they buy. If they are new to this type of palette. The restaurant is small and cozy and reminds me of one of the personal restaurants in NY. Only. It's on the streets of Phoenix 😁”

“Phoenix and Scottsdale have been hitting home runs lately with high end restaurants that have amazing ambience, delicious food and unique experiences. On the top of that list for Phoenix is Wren & Wolf. I am blown away by the incorporation of taxidermy into modern decor. The drinks are delicious especially the Shishito one with tequila. Food ranges from super luxe seafood towers, beef wellington, and caviar bumps to steaks and homemade mac and cheese. I’m happy to have this place to come to when I go to concerts and suns games. Highly recommend.”
“The Mexicano is a great choice if you are looking for a Mexican restaurant with an upscale “modern” yet casual vibe.We go there specifically for Happy Hour with our Taco Tuesday group of 12-16 people. We enjoy the restaurant and atmosphere. Margaritas are darn good as well. We try different restaurants each week and The Mexicano is one where we have gone back on several occasions.Prices at Happy Hour are reasonable. I would say that non-happy hour items verge on the expensive side and we would likely not go there for a straight up non-happy hour event.The Machete tacos are very large. Easily shareable by 4 people making them a reasonable choice. But we do not recommend the blue tortillas. Those are not so good.Love the Birria tacos. But they took them off the happy hour menu sometime ago and the normal prices are pretty pricy. But worth the splurge now and again. The hot bowls (Molcajete) are a big feed. So while they cost over $30 they are shareable if you get an appetizer.We put the Mexicano at a 4.5 rating. Love the atmosphere - and food is quite good. Prices can be a bit on the high side. But overall, it’s a location we will go back to for happy hour TT again and again.”
“If I could give higher stars for service, I would! Rico, not sure of spelling, was one of the best managers I have seen at a restaurant. He was beyond accommodating for any request, cleaning tables, assisting his team and so friendly. No doubt your experience at this restaurant was very important to him. The food was absolutely incredible! our server, Jay was fantastic as well. Because of these two, we will definitely return.”
“Nice lil place to grab a bite. Can get very busy so try to score a reservation. The bar is a prime area that is open seating but good luck finding an open seat during peak dining hours. Get the white chocolate bread pudding. As someone who is not that into white chocolate, I get it every time.”
“Amazing food. I was sad they did not have Halibut, even though it was on their online menu the day of our reservation. The food was good and the views were spectacular ✨️”
“My chef nephew came in to town for a visit and when I asked him to select a good place for dinner he suggested Mora Italian. I love some good Italian food so I was excited to try them. The restaurant is well decorated, inviting and open. The staff are on a different level, I’m not kidding they were amazing and treated us like VIP’s. My wife and I my nephew and niece met up for dinner and my wife and I got there a bit early. The staff was overly friendly and offered to seat us and then were just nice. My nephew ordered the calimari appetizer and they enjoyed it. My nephew had one of the pastas, my niece had the pork chop, my wife had three salmon and they all said their food was very good. I ordered the half chicken and it was delicious and had some fantastic flavors. My only negative comment is the half chicken part, I was given plenty of food and had leftovers so it’s not the quality but it didn’t seem like half a chicken. Maybe rename it to just roasted chicken? A minor complaint that has no bearing on the quality of the food or the perfect service we received. I had a coffee at the end as they had desert. It may have been the best coffee I’ve been had. Just coffee with sweetener and cream was so good. My bio and nephew each got the tiramisu and my wife had some salted caramel budino custard dessert that I had a taste of. Very good and very rich. I want to thank Mora Italian for a great dinner with my niece and nephew. I would love to go back again and try more menu selections.”
“Very good. Well worth visiting. Steak cooked to perfection, portions were plentiful and dessert was amazing. Our server was attentive, funny and cared about our experience. Nice that it is a local restaurant with history. Definitely the go to when I'm in town.”
“This place was amazing! We had the elote and were surprised by how delicious it was. I love that it was grilled which gave it amazing sweetness, plus the kernels were taken off the cob meaning that there was no mess on my face or awkward bits between my teeth. Enchiladas were great as well!”
“Food was good. Service was also good. The bouncer/ security guard needs to understand the difference between San Pellagrino (water) and beer and how to approach someone about that. Vice gripping someone’s arm is definitely not a good look especially when water is involved.”
“I had been here for dinner and it was ok. I recently went to the breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. I was with a large group and everyone got something different and every one was happy and it all looked delicious. They have a corn pancake and it was so good and gluten free! I highly suggest the brunch. Drinks are ok.”
“First up, the "Evergreen Martini." Think James Bond, but with a side of olives that made me feel like I should be quoting Shakespeare. Delicious? Absolutely. Did I feel incredibly dramatic holding it? You bet your crumpets I did.The food? Oh man, the food. Tuna tostada was like a flavor explosion at a fiesta. Yucca brûlée? Forget crème brûlée, this was sunshine on a plate with a rush that had me sweating (because it was SO good, not because I went broke). Chicken guisado? Like comfort food on steroids, with a side of "how is this even possible?"Service? Impeccable. Our server glided around like a magician, refilling drinks and whisking away plates faster than you can say "extra guac."”
“Ate there for brunch. Had the breakfast burrito and banana French toast with Chantilly cream. It was delicious. Our waitress, Brooke was a darling college student who was a fantastic, friendly, attentive server. Reminded us of our daughter. Fantastic eats. Hip, cozy atmosphere with outdoor seating, fire pit, outdoor heaters, couches, games, and all lit up with white lights. Great place for a reception, etc. They even had a guitar player. Thoroughly enjoyed; Is we will be back!”
“Don’t come in thinking you’re going to have a familiar taste. It’s good food, in “their” style. Recommend trying when you want to get away from the same old, same old.”
“Staff have been friendly & efficient whenever we’ve visited. The good is delicious and the options unique. We’d go more often if the drive wasn’t so long for us.”

“I've dined in twice for dinner, the food is amazing, the drinks are amazing and the service is awesome! I'm so happy they are in the neighborhood. We also visited the lounge next door Blue Stave. Juan is such a sweetheart and definitely knows his way around a cocktail!! ??”
“Wow! Just great. One of the best sea basses I've had in I can't remember how long and the couple sauces that came with it and tbe presentation just super. definitely do the miso cod as well. So nice to have great food at by Scottsdale standards is a reasonable price. Not inexpensive, but good value for the money and the Quality was 100% Definitely be on our regular rotation.”
“I'm moving into the neighborhood and I'm thrilled that coffee is in abundance. My first attempt didn't disappoint both in the bold richness of my breve cappuccino and the wonderfully pleasant service I received from the young lady who took my order. I felt welcome and cared for. I even took some dark beans home! It's a great local coffee shop that will become a regular stop.”
“First time. Really nice place and atmosphere,staff are great. Ordered porchetta. I don't want to be critical of the dish since chefs use cooking techniques that you may not be expecting or accustomed to. Traditional porchetta is roasted on a spit or rotisserie producing a nice brown crunchy outer skin and any fat within the meat is cooked out. Here the porchetta seemed to be "boiled", mushy outer skin,uncooked fat and meat rested in a pool of fat drippings. In speaking with the GM, he advised that the meat is cooked in a high humidity oven,which would explain things. I will go back tho, my sides were great and the other dishes around me looked great.”
“Excellent lunch combo. Flavors were very good and fairly inexpensive. Lots of vegetarian options. Their paneer appetizer had excellent spice level and flavor profile but surprised us as it was bigger than paneer entrees at most restaurants. Will definitely be back.”
“This place is great. The beer is delicious. They make some speciality stuff here that I have not seen anywhere else. The al pastor pizza was great, but the wings they make there are out of this world. I live pretty far away, but I would go back for these wings. Not sure what they are called, it's a speciality of this restaurant.”
“Truly delicious Ramen in relaxed, cozy atmosphere.I got the pork Ramen. Noodles were great and really soaked in the flavor of the broth. They really didnt skimp on the fixings (mine had Chashu pork, bamboo, spinach, leek, naruto slices, and green onion, as I recall)Service was prompt and The order-at-kiosk setup was very convenient. Overall, Izakaya is my new favorite ramen shop in the North Valley and the experience reminded me of delicious Ramen and Soba shops in Tokyo.”
“Tried one of everything and let me tell you, amazing! Literally everything I wanted and more. A perfect spot to enjoy some of the best food, oh and the horchata was on point. Patty was also the best and made the experience too notch!”
“i got to eat here yesterday , my first time and i think i just found my my new pho spot ! not only was the pho the best ive had in south phoenix but the service was exceptional ! This place might top pho 43”
“This restaurant has an amazing atmosphere, great vibes! The staff here are so humble. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure every single customer is satisfied and comfortable. I’m currently a traveler from out of this world, will say, and have been to many, many sushi establishments, this one by far is TRULY, organically amazing. I recommend anyone in or out the area even “from out of this world” stop by and I promise, you’ll have a great experience. The Bartenders Scott, Jeff and Alysa all carry the same humble attitude and especially the GM, who i’ve seen almost every time i am there, busy bodying around the restaurant at the same time, making sure you are comfortable…. thank you for the experience !!!!!-the grim reaper from the northwest !!! :)TRY EVERYTHING!”
“Me and my lady came here yesterday after our long overnight shift and she was telling me she wanted to try bad jimmy never heard of the place and I don't regret it either we both got the double double burger and some fries was good but not the best burgers parking was a little Difficult but I found a parking would recommend place looks nice and they even have a little bar if you wanna grab a drink with that burger.”
“The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing. The only thing I would say about the atmosphere is that the lighting is a little bit too bright wish they could dim the lights as they appear online would give an intimate, dark setting. Overall, the food is really good and would definitely come back to have dinner here. I'd order the flautas!”
“I have had the food of Cassandra Davis Kitchen several times now, and it NEVER disappoints! My favorite is the little mini breakfast wraps with brisket and egg. And who doesn’t like killer, macaroni and cheese for breakfast❤️. Keep it coming Cassandra!”
“I was wondering how any restaurant would be able to successfully take over the space once occupied by Sin Muerte, which was a great establishment. Hugo's does a great job at it, and boy did they change the theme. We've gone from the somber morgue theme to a very lively, bright pink cantina, and it is so fun! Love all the funky art and the colors. Food is delicious, and I appreciate that it does not cost an arm and a leg. The menu may not look very vegetarian-friendly, but they can make just about any of the menu items vegetarian upon request. The bar area with its emerald green walls is very neat too. Drinks are colorful and fun. Metered parking outside - it's downtown Phoenix and that means parking can be a pain. Fast service with a smile. I'd go back, and would 100% recommend it.”
“We loved the hush puppies. The potato salad was very tasty. Everything we had was delicious. It was a very fun atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive.”
“Every time I come here, I am amazed by Dayana"s service. My family is so grateful. We need more skilled and talented and caring and just all around GREAT servers, and people, like her in this world. I will continue to come here with my family and request Dayana for our server. Thank you Denny's, & thank you Dayana. May GOD Bless you & your life ?Oh, and when Mat cooks? The food literally ALWAYS amazing ?”
