“Love love love! Beautiful atmosphere, great service and fantastic food!”
“Had an excellent evening out with friends at twin peaks. The entire experience was top of the line. Maya made sure we were well taken care of and took time to explain menu items I was considering ordering. Lexy also was great and made us feel so welcome and happy we chose to come here. The food was great and so was the desert. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them again my next visit! Thank you so much!!!!”
“Food was delish. Salad and the bread was outstanding. Prices were perfect.”
“The serve the best brews in tempe Az! Try the 8th street if you love caramel/smooth notes. Also for a day out in the heat, it’s usually the pitchers of their really cool brews. I brought friends here and they love the atmosphere and the ability to just relax and enjoy a cold one. This was my go to spot during the weekends to relax after classes/hw was all finished.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Been to Society about 5 times now and have never been disappointed. Amazing food (The Diablo beef tips and the Evo salad (Kale) is incredible. I never thought I'd say that about kale, but you have to try it to understand. Excellent service and Uber friendly staff too. Highly recommend!”
“Our server Steven is terrific. We always ask for his section. He remembers to bring the ice tea right away with water. Food is very good overall. Just be prepared for the energetic environment ?”
“Delicious drinks & amazing fresh food! Great experience as a date night!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“A little overpriced but kid friendly and great hibachi grill good :)”
“Man what a gem. I wanted a crepe and I was glad I found this place. I went a little adventurous and got the honey with cheese. The cheese was some middle eastern cheese.. wow that was a great combo. I will definitely come back.”
“The food was delicious. A huge bonus is that many of their dishes are gluten free.”
“I wish I could rate the ladies above 5, they deserve more like 1,000 out of 5.
We went to the location on Mill Ave in Tempe, Az and the ladies there were amazing. They were so helpful and went above and beyond when I ordered. I didn’t get their names but the owner should be proud to have them apart of their team.
Wanted to thank them for brightening our day.

“Where do I start in giving this place it's much deserved praise.
I have been looking for a restaurant like this!
It truly did not disappoint!
Yesterday was my first time experiencing this restaurant.
From the environment to the music and of course it's menu, it was all very good!
I had gotten the tilapia/wings/fries and was thoroughly pleased. Loved the fries!
What puzzles me is why/how I hadn't heard about this place til now.
I will definitely be returning!
I've already shared my experience with several others.
Lol I might stop back in 2day!”
“Excelente lugar limpio, agradable, servicio muy amable y su comida deliciosa; Arepas riquisimas, te Matcha fabuloso.”
“Stopped here for dinner on the drive home from the airport and it was SO good. The restaurant is clean and their food is bangin. I got the lotus root dry pot with rice and the scallion pancakes. My roomie got pork dumplings and chicken and fungus dry pot. He ate his too fast for me to photograph lol.
I have never had sichuan peppercorns before. They make your mouth numb - má. That was weird but I was into it. We will definitely be back!”
“first time trying Freddy's. the string fries are awesome. the burger Patty's are bigger than the buns and tasty.”
“i adore this place! the owner is so kind and the food is so good and affordable. i always get a shawarma wrap and i get a different dessert every time. highly recommend!”

“We had dinner here and it was amazing, not only is the food amazing but the atmosphere and the owners are so nice, they just make you feel like family!”
“Really great food: fresh ingredients and flavorful. I highly recommended”
“We love Pedal Haus! We brought two of our macaws to dinner with us tonight and Sam, Sydney, and Nina were so very friendly and accommodating. Sam brought our girls Gypsy and Noel a few French fries on the house! Fun atmosphere, kind employees, and fast service. The food is great too!”
“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula”
“This was our first visit here. Stopped for lunch on a Wednesday. Wasn’t too busy. Got a table right away. Our server was very personable and seemed really knowledgeable about the menu items. My wife ordered the Ghost Ranch Torta with brisket and a side of Ranch Papas and they actually brought her a small piece of brisket to sample prior to serving the order. I had a Sonoran hotdog with a side of beans and rice. Lots of delicious flavors. Neither of us could eat it all. Made for great leftovers. They have a decent selection of beer unless you only like domestic (the wife ) so she just had water. I enjoyed the Sunset Amber ale.
It was a very enjoyable experience.”

“I love this Postino’s location to begin with but last night was just an overall amazing experience and the spotlight of it all was our bartender Sav! She curated an experience that you don’t really get these days (post Covid) from restaurants/bars. She was extremely kind and super friendly! We ordered some skewers and she lets us know that the kitchen had been wiped clean of skewers for the night (makes sense because they are really good). Even when we decided to not substitute it with a different dish, she surprised us with an order of the Crispy Cauliflower on the house (and it was immaculate to say the least). Overall, I just want to thank Sav for her amazing hospitality, kind demeanor, and positive vibes. You made the night before my birthday an amazing one especially coming off a stressful day at work. I got to relax and decompress and just enjoy the great food and ambiance that Postinos has to offer. ☺️”
“I ate Yokohama style.
Their responsiveness is also great, as they can even accommodate orders for harder noodles.
The taste is definitely the best among the ramen I've had in America.”
“Had the best waiter, Paul. Drinks from bar were outstanding. Love the choice of sides…….so many fresh vegetables prepared nicely. Hubs got the Alaskan Halibut, I got the King Crab legs. We are not opposed to spending money on a nice meal. But for a pound of king Crab Legs at $82 to have the shell soft, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the meat was good, the ends were dried out. I believe they sat in water too long.”
“GET THE CARROT CAKE!!! My family and I enjoyed dinner and desert. The service was warm, friendly and inviting. Tall tables, short tables and cozy couch/lounge sitting. We enjoyed dry rubbed chicken wings, truffle fries and fried egg burger. The desert options are limited but the carrot cake was the best I have ever had.”
“Great service and food was wonderful ,.love the menu,, Something for everyone”
“We go often. This place is frustrating. You’ll try the Bic Wac and never order anything else because it’s so good. Be strong. Leave me behind. Explore the menu my wife says it’s all good.”
“Went for a birthday party on a Saturday. Found parking really easy and didn't have to wait long for service on the patio. Ordered a dozen oysters, fish and chips and a few Raj IPAs because those were only $5. It's a good time but I have been during busy times and good luck with parking then.”
24 Hour Restaurants
“I haven't been here in a couple of years since moving to the West Valley, and I do miss getting donuts from here. I was a little disappointed that a lot of the cases were emptied being a 24hr Donut Shop. Also not being able to get a Hurts Donut Cup because the fountain machine was OOS, but needless to say, I still managed to grab a few yummy donuts, which still hit the spot.”
“We came from australia and our family took us to this place, it was excellent service great food, definately will come back again for some delicious mexican food !!!!”
“I like to order the chile relleno burrito at places like this, and the one from Amados is my favorite. They include rice and beans in it, which makes it more tasty. Most other places charge extra if you want rice or beans. Ordered with a group and everyone liked their food.
Vegetarian options: You can easily swap or substitute many items if you're vegetarian”
“Great service, always open. The food is not high end but good and the hot items were piping hot. We stop here often when in the neighborhood.”
“I always like to share my experiences wherever I go, and I'm known for reviews and so I came to the Denny's on Rural and the guy he was amazing, he helped me when the lady wouldn't even help me that much from Broadway store. My birthday came and normally they give you a dinner and so she just Strictly by the book but knows you can show ID...told me to wait on an email, by the way, I never got the email. So I never got my birthday meal and the gentleman here was so amazing. He gave it to me anyway and said Happy Birthday, I'm so pleased. I'm coming back here again.”
“I was in the drive thru for 35 minutes! I was the third person in line with no one behind me for 10 min, by the time I left there were at least 10 behind me. ! I love❤ Whataburger, but how do you wait 35 min for a fresh cooked burger and it comes out cold, not to mention overcooked! Thank goodness Sonic is right down the road! UPDATE!!!???
It's gotten much better. Some of the cooks could take a little more pride but over all much better!!”
“We were amazed by the 32 inch Chicken Rustica. It was good and enough to feed 13 people. The service provided was nice and awsome. The service person did provide us with a lot of suggestions thus making us select the best one for us. The only con we faced was that there were no free sides/sauces. However they provided us a little ketchup to share with, which is much appreciated. Overall, the place is a good place to hangout with your friends gang!”
“We were very happy with the food and the service was excellent! Staff was very nice. Very good experience!!! Thank you!!!”
“This is my favorite Filib’s in the valley. They have sandia agua fresca and a comforting junior Texas burrito, with slow roasted chicken, potatoes and sour cream. Other valley locations often won’t do a junior burrito or have the aguas frescas like this location has. Keep up the great work”
“Love the food, excellent service! Every single employee is very nice, food is served warm and fresh!”
“Filiberto's Mexican Food is hands down one of my favorite spots! The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions that never disappoint. Whether I'm grabbing a quick burrito or enjoying their tacos, the flavors are always spot on. The staff is friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasant experience. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. It's the perfect place for a satisfying meal, whether you're dining in or taking out. Five stars all the way!
Parking: park wherever in the lot, or on side streets if need be”
“We had francis serving us on the drive thru and bro had such a exciting and a welcoming vibe and when we asked for a great amount of sauce packets we hitted us up with all of that good stuff. And the overall experience was awesome. FRANCIS YOU ARE THE GOAT!!!”
“The only Mariscos I'll eat in Arizona! Tastes so fresh and reminds me of the ceviche back home in Mexico!”

“Jonathan was the best! We sat outside and had the best conversation with him and learned more about the business and his love of baking!”
“always a nice experience. staff is always warm and welcoming. soft serve & joe latti are the best <3 love the decor.”

“Had the best pasta Alfredo dish ever! Salads looked great too!”
“Food was delish. Salad and the bread was outstanding. Prices were perfect.”
“Good food, good service. My wife and our friend at both gluten-sensitive, so it was nice that they had gluten-free injera.”
“friendly staff, helpful staff, fast service, yummy food, will come again, ordered extra food to go after eating here...”
“The chicken is fried amazingly. BUT THIS IS NOT NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN. It's good chicken though. But like yall, this is not nashville hot chicken. Nashville hot chicken is a FLAVOUR. Every place in Nashville will have slightly different spice mix and spice levels and this place isn't similar in any way except for the fact it's also chicken. Good food though. But the heat level is a 1/10 and the Nashville hot chicken spice mix is a 1/10. Fried chicken quality is a 9.5/10 really good job. Some places in Nashville can't even compete with how well yall fried it.
Yall have talented chefs. Just get them the proper spice mix. And like at a hot chicken place the hottest spice level is not meant to be edible. All the good places will leave me crying and I love them for that. I legitimately was shook when I couldn't even feel a burn...”
“Decided to stop by to check the place out and absolutely loved it here. If you’re looking for a smoothie place that doesn’t taste like pure sugar (like other companies) this is definitely a great option”
“Love ikes! I'm vegan, my family isn't. My 7 year old is picky. We're all happy eating here.
Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options a plenty!
Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options
Kid-friendliness: Tenders and fries”
“This is the best Indian food we've had in the area, with exceptional service to match. We've tried most restaurants in the Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Chandler areas, and for us as a family, service is the top priority. Even if the food isn't perfect, poor service can ruin the entire experience. Fortunately, this place delivers on both fronts—delicious food and outstanding service. We're looking forward to trying their buffet today and hoping it's just as impressive.”

“it was a really fun experience. it was like stepping back into the 50s again or what I would imagine the 50s to be. the burgers were everything. and they do get you in and ouy”
“We enjoy good coffee and this is the best we have found in the valley so far. Excellent coffee!”
“A Chicagoan favorite. Tasty food, good service, worth the trip from Tucson to Tempe!”
“No better coffee or service anywhere in Arizona! Highly recommend all of their locations!”
“Great value for a delicious lobster roll. We will be back!”
“Been coming to the Tempe location since I moved to Az 8 mos ago about 3-4 times a week and oft times twice a day when I’m traveling from one office to the next. Always get the juicykini. This time as other times I had 10 points and always used them to get a free drink and the young lady asked if I wanted to use the points to get $7 off. I replied “oh they must have just changed it”. She then argued the point saying they changed it a year ago and she has been there for the year (first time I saw her but ok). I simply stated that it was the first time in my 8 mos that they did that and before I could say ok she argued the point again. Not upset about the change, change happens but she must’ve been having a day because I have never experienced that before with this location. Still will be coming back for as long as I’m in Az however. Still love the place.”
“Great place! The ceviche was very Fresh & delicious!!”
“First time here eating as we speak and I'm extremely impressed. Pricing threw me off a bit but now I understand! Fresh everything! Cowboy Double Burger plentiful! Rush Fries masterful! Definitely will return!”
“My pup and I always enjoy stopping by this location for a weekend coffee and a pup cup. The barista team is always super friendly and helpful.”
“Best tacos in Tempe. You can’t beat them. Alex is there to greet you in the morning with friendly smile and walk you through the menu if necessary. The breakfast burros are also an excellent treat. You have to check out Oscar’s Taco Shop. You will not be disappointed.”
“Love the Breakfast Buzz. I had not been in quite a while as the Tempe and Scottsdale locations are far from me. This particular day I decided to make the drive from Northeast Mesa to use my bday freebie. We'll I ordered at drive thru and tried to redeem, but the young lady totally disregarded that I was trying to redeem my birthday reward. She just said , we have a new app and you can use it only if you have the app downloaded. I showed it to her on the app and then she said.. no that's not it. What I was showing her was literally the email from dlite. Again she just disregarded charged my 16.00 for two drinks . My birthday reward is still sitting in my account. Maybe I'll try and use it when I am in the area again.. maybe.”
“Great menu and if you like to try a little of this and a little of that check out the tapas”
“Great cappuccino in a beautiful cup. Feels like you are in Europe.”
“Super friendly, loved the service and the drinks were correct which is all I can ask for. Location has a really stupid layout for the drive through and my full size truck was a little bit of a struggle to make the right 90 degree turn.
Parking: The drive through is not something you'll want to attempt with a full size truck, over size truck just forget about it.”
“Great service and food was wonderful ,.love the menu,, Something for everyone”
“My friend is in town and she has celiac so we were trying to find a good place for her to have variety. We found a recommendation for this place on a gluten-free page. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. I was shocked at how gluten friendly they are, even to the point of having a dedicated oven for the gluten-free pizza us. My friend was overwhelmed with all the amazing options, and absolutely loved that she could pick whatever she wanted. We had the focaccia bread, the bacon, mac & cheese, and the fungi Florentine pizza. Dessert we tried the apple crisp and the tiramisu, both are which are gluten-free. The food was incredible. We will definitely be back.”
“We went for family celebration. Everyone ordered something different. Everyone was happy with their meal. Service was great. My favorite was the fried rice.”

“LOVE everything about vietshack. Their food is great (and very affordable), the atmosphere is great, staff are extremely courteous and respectful, and their coffee is *chef’s kiss*. 10/10 recommend, please go visit if you haven’t!”
“The food is incredible. What a hidden gem! Will be back again and again.”
“This place is a gem complete absolute gem amazing workers, amazing food full-blown unbelievable this is not a chain even though there’s three of them, you can come here and you can know that you’re having fresh fresh amazing food!!!!!$$$$$$$”
“Lovely place to go out for breakfast or brunch with your family, friends or partner. Service is always friendly and attentive and the portion sizes for skillets and pancakes are generous. Their skillets are also really good. They also have an interesting fruit platter too, with pineapple, honeydew, grapefruit, cantaloupe, watermelon etc.
It's one of my partner's and I's favorite places to go for brunch, and I'm always looking forward to eating here again :)”
“These are the best donuts I have ever had! Literally better than even any place in Arizona and Cali. The variety is great and consistently fresh. The donuts are even good saved for the next day. The customer service is great and it is a fun place for kids to pick out donuts. I will be a lifetime customer.”
“Service was great. I liked the build your own option. I got a Mini with steak, mozzarella, ALL the veggies listed, and jalapeno cilantro ranch. My husband got the Regular steak, provolone, ALL the veggies listed and cheese wiz sauce. We shared the seasoned fries with the fry dipping sauce. I usually snap photos of our food, but we went in hungry and accidentally devoured everything.
Both our sandwiches tasted Amazing! The sauce made a huge difference between both our meals. Both great flavors but completely different taste because of the added sauce. The thin steak was well seasoned, the veggies were mixed in well (were other places might throw them in and make it sloppy) this place filled in the sandwich perfectly. The sandwich was rolled into a foil where it allowed all the flavors to marinate together and slightly steam the bread, but still keep it's bold flavor and texture.
Will definitely keep coming back!”
“I had tacos de cabeza they were delicious first time I've been in this place I will sure come back again”
“Absolutely love this place! ....They always make me feel so very welcome.”
“The staff was super friendly & patient and the burgers were amazing! Do not pass on the sweet potato tots. They were ah-mazing as well”

“the owners use to own got sushi in east mesa. my 1st experience to " sashimi" the freshest and best that I have e experienced in the last 6 yrs. Check out their new location you wont be disappointed. the freshest you will ever have!!”
“We did a Pizza Camp at Zzeeks on McQueen and Warner. John was patient, kind and knowledgeable. My son had a blast and the pizza was great.”
“Wonderful beers with a mix of rotating taps and annual favorites. Tim and John are always smiling, and the entire place is dog friendly. Bring in food (tons of great options nearby, we've seen some folks have food delivered) or look for scheduled food trucks.”
“Amazing day this place is a great neighborhood find for football, great drinks and awesome food, the regulars are nice and welcoming. You should come check it out! We will definitely be back!”
“Food was very good. We were the only ones there. Service very slow. Once server took our order, no one paid any attention to us. Had to flag server down to get a 2nd beer. Went up to the bar to pay our bill. No one acknowledged us when we left. Food was excellent, though.”
“We celebrated our company party at Fate Brewing Company and had a fantastic time. The staff and Manager were amazing and super helpful. The food was delicious and service amazing!”
“I was dying to find a place with a decent thin crust pizza and decided to give this place a try two days ago. The pizza was absolutely outstanding. This is my new go to pizza place.”
“The food was outstanding! the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would recommend the Venison.”
“I know India has many different regions and flavors but for the masses here in the US hear me when I say this is one of the best Indian restaurants in Arizona if not the US. Fresh food pungent spices and cooked to order. There is something for everyone and the staff can help guide your selections. Give it a try.”
“Fantastic atmosphere, food & drinks - we loved it! We dined at the Scottsdale location and had CJ as our “tour guide” - he was phenomenal, as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“The bowels are the best for me? I had them all.”
“We love the food and atmosphere. Great date night spot.”
“This was a treat! The food was delicious ?. I could not eat it all. The noodles and the salad a large enough portions to share. The boil was flavorful. I will definitely return even though it's a little pricey for crab and lobster. You will not be disappointed. We had a large party and gratuity was included and that was not too bad either.”
“went here for my anniversary in January. can't wait to go back again. it's a little bit expensive but it is extremely worth it”
“Outstanding experience. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. There was a singer on stage, and she was very good. Nice choice of music for the setting. It was just a little too loud for the main dining area. I highly recommend!”
“I'm giving it 5 stars because the food we had was very good. We had a group of 4, first time here on a recommendation from a friend. When we got the menus, I didn't understand what was going on with the choices. The waiter came by after about 10 minutes, and said the meals are served "family style" and meant to be shared. I had no idea this place was like that. Their website does not have their menu on it - the link is broken. The problem is a few of us had food allergies, so finding dishes that we could eat and could share was not easy. It was also very expensive, which I didn't know ahead of time. To economize, we ended up ordering 3 plates of the tacos de aire, and one burrata salad. There were 8 tiny deep fried tacos in one order, and they were like wontons with just a hint of cheese in them. They had a drizzle of hot sauce, and tasted very good. I didn't have the burrata salad, but everyone else said it was great. So I would recommend the restaurant if you like sharing dishes, and have a larger budget for dinner than we had. But I won't be going back, because "family style" is not my style, I'd rather pick out what I want to eat, and have my own meal to myself. And this is too pricey for me.”
“The best in phoenix. They have all the good and best meat choices not the turkey people offer here in Arizona . It’s real African food . Thank you big portions too”
“Good food reasonable prices and good service !”
“Wow. I loved this place! Kira was our waitress and she did an amazing job guiding us through the big menu! Her service was above and beyond what we normally get elsewhere. You can tell she loves helping customers choose from all they have to offer! The burnt ends and brisket was out of this world and the mac and cheese woooah. Fun and cool environment with such good food. Can’t wait to go back to try the drinks and other goodies. Recommend 10/10”
“Saturday I spent the afternoon with some of the BEST people ??? We did a tour and tasting with AZ Distilling Co in Tempe and it did NOT disappoint. I learned a LOT, sampled multiple spirits, and their gin is probably the first gin I actually could tolerate and very unique. Olivia, their Production Assistant/Tour Guide and the entire staff were absolutely phenomenal ?? The specialty cocktails were also handcrafted, unique and delicious! Owner Jason has amazing networking, something special and big things are to come! Excited for the Mesa location. Definitely check them out ??”
“I always start fast food at 3 stars. I am kind of a food snob, especially when it is Thai food and this isn't authentic Thai food. It is tasty though and the serving sizes are generous. If you don't have time to sit down for real Thai, this place is a great fast substitute.”
“I ordered the Buzz Omakase dinner set which came with a miso soup, a poke, 9 pieces of nigiri and a 5 pieces roll. You can decide what you want for the roll and the chef would pick the nigiri for you. The poke was refreshing, I liked the sauce that they put on the tuna. The nigiris were delicious and fresh. The rolls were okay, I didn’t like them as much as the nigiris. We also had the monkey business, it looked super fancy. It’s made of deep-fried bananas and vanilla ice cream.
Server was super nice and helpful. I also liked the ambience of the restaurant.”
“This place is awesome! Friendly service, great selection of kegs...”
“Always a great meal and service at a reasonable price. It’s a bit noisy, but that’s a small trade off for the awesome experience. Hard to beat!!!”
“great sushi great atmosphere and friendly staff”
“Delicious food in the heart of Tempe! Alter Ego is a ground-floor restaurant and bar where every day is about celebrating life and living in the moment.”
“Everything we go, it's excellent. We always get All You Can Eat. Never had any issues or complaints. It can get very busy and sometimes our wait can be a little longer but it's worth it.”
“First and foremost, the coffee is incredible. I haven't tasted flavors this robust and distinguishable from another brand or blend in years! My favorite blend is the Nepal Himalayan -- incredibly smooth, little to no bite (in my humble opinion), and a delectable combination of complimenting flavors. It's quite literally perfect.Secondly, I need to highlight the Service here. When a business does what they can to go above and beyond to ensure their customers are taken care of, it's almost incumbent upon us as said customers to let it be known. I experienced an issue with my order due to our good old "pals" over at USPS. No kind of assistance whatsoever, even with the issue being on their end. In comes Cortez Coffee Roasters thoughtfulness and A1 Customer Service there to assist me with the replacement of my order in a matter of minutes. Easy.Although they may experience this issue from time to time with USPS like what was explained to me, I appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness to help in that moment any way. This is the type of thing that keeps a customer and makes me want to recommend to others -- and believe that I have!Thanks again, CCR! I appreciate you all, particularly Patrick who directly helped me here. Come for the coffee, but stay for the service (and the coffee!)”
“The list of Margaritas was amazing, creative and delicious. The food was delicious, best part was staff was amazing and very friendly.”
“Phenomenal Korean Ears and FBI (full blooded Italian) Agents! Ay yo’”
“McClintock Chargers had a very large group on March 26, 2024. Servers were excellent--attentive, friendly, efficient and empathetic to our varied needs. So much to choose from on the seafood+ menu and it all tasted fresh and wonderful. Such a variety of drinks and presented in a fun way. The entire staff went over and above to make it a memorable evening.”
“Great service. Great selection. So fun outdoors. Great prices!”
“Market Cafe is a nice breakfast place with a pretty standard menu connected to the nearby hotel via the sky bridge. I walked in unshowered and with toothbrush stains on my T-shirt and shorts, ordering the buttermilk pancakes.
SIDES - 2.5
The pancakes come with one side, of which I tried the ham and bacon. The ham was good, but the bacon was too crispy for me, which I realize is not a universal opinion, but nevertheless the right one.
Syrup and butter - 4
The syrup comes in a ceramic pouring cup, perfect for dipping or pouring. It had a good, classic syrup taste. There was also enough butter, but it was still wrapped, which made spreading slightly inconvenient since I didn't want to look like a fool.
Taste - 5
The first thing that hits you is a strong aroma that demands your attention to the flap of jacks on the plate. From the first bite, I couldn't stop. The top of class fluffiness, the melty feeling as I swallowed, and the ease by which I could pull off another piece absolutely PREVENTED me from speaking to anyone at the table. All I could think about was how to efficiently deliver one more bite to my mouth.
Atmosphere - 4
The restaurant, to my uninformed surprise, was quite formal. If I were to go back, I'd definitely want to be a little groomed and nicer dressed if only a little. The seating was comfortable and I never had to shuffle things around to fit the dishes on the table. The atmosphere was pretty calm, with soft outdoor lighting and a few conversations from other groups being all you could hear. Despite my dressing like a dead possum, service was always nice and responsive to questions.”
“Incredibly fresh tasting shrimp! Every part of my meal was just a little bit better than I expected, even the corn tortillas were particularly tasty!”
“I love eating at Kneaders! Their sandwhiches are otherworldly especially the chicken pesto! I got my order today and unfortunately they forgot the sausage that was on my order. I hadn’t noticed until I got back home, so it’s essentially my fault for not checking. The food I did get was excellent and I’m looking forward to eating there several more times in the future!”
“They truly need more staff, but I guess we are all getting used to waiting and feeling sorry for subpart service no matter where you go. Food was awesome and staff did what they could. 2 Waiters 2 cooks, For the size of the place? on a Friday night? just no Bueno.”
“This place slaps. 3 different venues in one. Great love music.”
“peace and. blessings letting me come shot my video and vibe with righteous people 2boii.com”
“Love this place, great fresh fish, and the masago here is real! I tried another poke bowl place (that shall remain unnamed) and their masago turned out to be "imitation caviar beads"! I was so mad. Next time you go to your favorite poke bowl restaurant, be sure to find out if you're getting the real stuff!”
“I ordered their Friday Night Special (brisket, potatoes, and corn). Everything was delicious!”
“Got delivered on DoorDash. Disappointed I didn’t get a Hawaiian roll as I had ordered. They could’ve been out but no one called me to see if I wanted another kind of bread.. taste was still good just bad service.”
“The Bodhi is one of my all time favourite places to eat in Arizona. With menu items that are crafted by expert nutritionists, it not only is some of the best tasting food I've tried, but I feel like I am glowing after eating there, consistently and without fail. It feels as though my body is thanking me over and over again continually for nourishing it so well. I have only experienced this rarely at other places, without consistency. Also, if you are vegan/vegetarian, the options provided have much to offer! I cannot speak highly enough of this place and would certainly eat there every day if I had the means to. If you have never tried it please waste no time and go give it a shot! I am confident you will be impressed. Finally, besides having top notch menu items, they also offer house made juices and other drinks that are simply divine. Love you so much Bodhi!! <3.”
“First bad experience today, the blond girl that was at the cashier was distracted with looking at someone (I saw her eyes on a guy lol) and didn’t bag my tuna bowl lmao literally had my hands full and nearly dropped my food at my job.They gave me the wrong coffee when I ordered a Super Coffee.I work security next door and I’ve been coming here for over a month and overall great place... but today was just not their dayCould’ve been 5 stars if their employees weren’t so distracted ????????♂️”
“VERY good ramen. You can put pretty much whatever you want on it and so I was able to make something i really liked. The only thing I do not like is the prices, they are VERY expensive and honestly should be much lower than they are. I think i could spend about $30 on myself here.”
“It was amazing funny I had a great time the food was delicious and my Godzilla drink”
“Food was excellent and service way above any expectations. Server was very attentive and brought us to-go boxes as requested. The noise and music did not allow for conversation with dining partner. Way too loud for both of us. We will return perhaps for an earlier dining experience.”
“I had the chicken quesadilla with quacamole and sour cream! It cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The quacamole was basic but the quesadilla made up for it.”
“The lady that took our order was awesome! So helpful. There are many options from the bread to meat, cheeses and add on items. The sandwiches were so tasty! Their house made bread is excellent. Service and sandwiches were top notch! I highly recommend this spot for a great lunch!”
“Tempe resident here. Hubby and I drop in from time to time and it's always been pleasant. There are a half-dozen or so local beers on tap, plus the usual (Buds & such), and wine, and a full bar if you're hankering for a cocktail. The menu is very short, just 5 or 6 items, but they're done well. The indoor area is very cozy and when the weather is nice it opens onto a lovely patio in the courtyard.OK, we were married in the courtyard 30 years ago so I may be biased, but I don't think so.”
“Grabbed a quick lunch from Chinese Noodle Express when I was in the area. I went inside Tempe Food Court and ordered from the kiosk in the lobby. The kiosk was super user friendly and the whole ordering process took 2 minutes. From there it took about 10 minutes to get my food. I had string bean steak plate. I really like the seasoning on the steak, it wasn’t chewy and there was a ton of green beans. It was a huge portion and definitely had enough for a snack for later. Would order from Chinese Noodle again!
Vegetarian options: Seem to me lots of tofu options.
Parking: Huge, free parking lot.
Dietary restrictions: Lot of veggie friendly and gluten free options!”
“This place is a lot better than Old Town Scottsdale. Not racist, not sweating you for what clothes you're wearing, and the drinks are normal prices, not $ 18 bucks for a 12 once Michalob Ultra.”
“Loved it. Excellent staff friendly service and awesome menu. The ambiance was perfect. I arrived a bit before lunch, and the place could get busy inside.
Overall, excellent experience, easy plaza free parking.”
“The Pizza is really good. I'm assuming the name is based on the classic character from fast times at Ridgemount high with Sean Penn. It is a business inside a business. It's a classic sports bar with a pizza joint hidden in the back. Phillies Sports Bar is what you will see when you walk in the door. You can get a pie from them and it is the same. If you are looking for delivery, this is a great option. Either way it's a really good pizza.”
“Authentic food stops here! Don't be put off by the at-times bonkers parking lot. You are transported halfway around the World once your taste buds make contact with these flavorful dishes! Start with those starred items, and you'll be hooked.”
“First time ordering and I have to say everything was delicious. I read some reviews and was kinda worried from what I read but my order was perfect. We had the God feather my fiance and I loved it. We also ordered the spinach dip and that was delicious. The pricing is a little steep but we'll worth it. I will definitely order again from this place. Don't believe everything you read on the reviews some people just love the complain. Everything I order look exactly like it did on the pictures and was delicious.”
“My husband and I stayed at the Moxy for a weekend staycation, and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in and checked in, the staff greeted us with a smile. They asked questions to ensure our stay is pleasant and provided us information in case we needed anything during our stay. The room was clean and smelled fresh, the pool was amazing and the stay was relaxing and just what we needed. We will do this again!!!”
“Kris our server was phenomenal! The food was incredible! I had the honey glazed salmon. My husband had the shrimp and chicken. The flavors were incredible. You've gotta try this restaurant if you haven't been here. It's not just for kids.”
“Food was awesome and the service was great”
“The food here is amazing. The burgers are great and the flatbreads and tacos on the specials are also soo good. The atmosphere is amazing, the house wine is also always good. In the past sometimes the service was hit or miss but for the last year it’s been consistently good.”
“Great space to hang out with family playing ping pong and throwing bags!!!”
“Their food is fresh not frozen. Definitely worth the wait! The Cosmo was perfect! Great atmosphere! All ages too!”
“Looking for light refreshment and found Nekter. Smoothies, juices and acai bowls. Noone else there so wondered if any good, but found it to be fine. A little expensive compared to other similar places, but quality is good.”
“Sunday Funday w/the Family #TeamWorkMake TheDreamWork
Dietary restrictions: My friend has ? ? allergy but just got ? ? and sausage but he Great”
“Ternell you are a great manager you notice everything. Cherilyn, kudos to you for great service”
“The owner/cook of this location makes the BEST Vegas roll hands down in possibly the whole country. I have tried Vegas rolls all over Arizona and I drive one hour each and every time I want one to this location and will never go anywhere else after trying it.”
“We left there smiling because we were all full and very satisfied. Great customer service. We all enjoyed the food.”

“The only Mariscos I'll eat in Arizona! Tastes so fresh and reminds me of the ceviche back home in Mexico!”
“I’ve come in time and time again with my wife and I’ve never left a review but I need to tonight. One of our favorite bartenders were working Saturday night, Sarah with the smile and the energizer bunny work ethic, not only did she tell us about the new wines but guided us through a blind wine tasting and really brought the wine to life. We lounged for a couple hours enjoying the company and the patio. Unfortunately another patron made a scene and started spewing garbage about the bartender and she handled it very professionally, better than I would’ve. Seconds after the manager Cody, honestly I can’t express my gratitude enough that he was there and his other employee (I didn’t get his name but he injected himself in the middle of the altercation) to diffuse the situation. I’ve always loved Postinos and been a big supporter, I never imagined my 10/10 for postino I would become a 15/10.”
“Great atmosphere and place! Very down home, friendly and they make you feel you belong. Food is super good with a home cooked taste! Love this place!”
“Been to Society about 5 times now and have never been disappointed. Amazing food (The Diablo beef tips and the Evo salad (Kale) is incredible. I never thought I'd say that about kale, but you have to try it to understand. Excellent service and Uber friendly staff too. Highly recommend!”
“Surprisingly delicious sea food rice with lollypop lamb chops. Everything on the menu here is really good. One of my favorite restaurants and will be back.”
“We went for family celebration. Everyone ordered something different. Everyone was happy with their meal. Service was great. My favorite was the fried rice.”
“Born & raised in San Diego, I've lived in Tempe for 7 years now. I'm a Mexican food lover that will travel far & wide in my search for good Mexican food. Sonora Cocina Express is a 1/2 mile from my front door but I'd never been there before. All that has changed now... I've been there 3 times in the last week. What do I like about this joint? #1... it has a different menu. This is not the typical drive-thru taco shop... not the typical sit-down Mexican restaurant. #2... they serve 5 different soups... 6 days a week! #3... they serve street tacos... with 7 different meats available. #4... there are daily specials. Friday is a tamale special... and the red pork tamales are made fresh that day! So far... I eaten the Red Pozole... Cabeza Tacos... Green Chilaquiles w/ Eggs... and the Red Menudo w/ Bread. All were delicious!”
“My wife and I had lunch here and loved both the food and the service. The food was fresh and delicious! I especially enjoyed the El Jefe beef tacos and my wife says the goat meat tacos are to die for!. The Aztec Fry bread comes with powdered sugar, chocolate syrup and honey. Great way to top off lunch!”

“I came in at 930 at night, I had no idea what this place was but the food is pretty good and the guy who helped us was so polite and welcoming, he had a few suggestions and he was right I did enjoy my meal”
“This is the best Indian food we've had in the area, with exceptional service to match. We've tried most restaurants in the Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Chandler areas, and for us as a family, service is the top priority. Even if the food isn't perfect, poor service can ruin the entire experience. Fortunately, this place delivers on both fronts—delicious food and outstanding service. We're looking forward to trying their buffet today and hoping it's just as impressive.”
“This was a treat! The food was delicious ?. I could not eat it all. The noodles and the salad a large enough portions to share. The boil was flavorful. I will definitely return even though it's a little pricey for crab and lobster. You will not be disappointed. We had a large party and gratuity was included and that was not too bad either.”
“I’ve been here a couple of times now. The atmosphere is great. They have a kiosk to order and it was easy and seamless. Matt at the counter was awesome. He was very friendly and spoke highly of the owners. Loved the customer service experience. The food is equally as great!”
“great views, fun funky decor, great place for cocktails and food”
