50 Best American Restaurants in Tempe

“Fresh made delicious pasta, amazing brunch menu, exotic wine selections, and an amazing atmosphere! Love this place definitely recommend 👌👩‍🍳😘“

“great views, fun funky decor, great place for cocktails and food“

“Had the best pasta Alfredo dish ever! Salads looked great too!“

“Good customer service and fast service.“

“The sandwiches were great loved this place“

“Great food & servers. All was perfect.“

“Incredible service great food fair pricing and owners who actually care about customers“

“Just as good as Tony Luke’s or Joe and Pats. Definitely will be returning. Wish you were a little closer to Eastmark.“

“Great food. Wonderful staff.“

“Went there (party of two) last night for a meal of appetizers and drinks. We ordered the shrimp cocktail hoping for a chunky ceviche-type experience. The flavors were good and just the perfect kick. Our preference is a little less tomato juice and a little more of the chunky ingredients (reason for 4 on food). We also ordered the Queso Fundido. Very good flavors. Love the chorizo and the homemade corn tortillas.

Cadillac marg in a small glass...$19 (yikes!). Good but maybe not worth that price.

Service was excellent.

Downsides on this restaurant in general is how loud it is inside (reason for 3 of atmosphere) and how challenging to park(nothing they can do about parking).

Whoever owns this corner has put wayyyy too many busy restaurants in place for the amount of parking. So, if you want to come here arrive early as the restaurant is popular and they do not take reservations.

I definitely think overall the food is worth it and we will come back.“

“One of the best American Food Places in Phoenix area. Ribs, Fried Chicken Sandwich and Bison Burger were cooked to perfection. The Bison Burger was asked for to be cooked Medium and was served perfectly Medium. All other dishes were also cooked to perfection. Great Chef!“

“Good place for breakfast!“

“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“

“Close to my hotel glad I checked it out! Good burgers good selection of TAP beers 🍻 and Staff/Bartenders are really awesome 😉“

“Best Adult beverages! Super fun place!“

“Went there for a friends bday and the girls were very attentive and very polite. The food was amazing I had the cheeseburger with all of the workings. My friends had the wings and she devoured the plate. It was her first time and my second. They did not disappoint.“

“Culver's is always awesome, especially this location in Tempe. The shacke are great and the ice cream that they have to buy in the store is out of this world. High quality product with fantastic flavor, they have the little ones inside and a wide variety of flavors. Everything is great here Burgers,veggies burgers, chicken sandwichs as well as the fish plate all bangers so thank you Landies and Gentlemen, also the staff is younger but have a great work ethic I really appreciate this because it's very important to be able to stand by the work you do. Keep it up but one thing if you could make sure the diet root beer is changed and tastes better bc when it's fresh it's out of this world but the.lasy couple times not good. That's my one constructive criticism every thing else amazing“

“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!“

“Great food, Great Service, Great views“

“I LOVE the chocolate protein shake from here! It’s very very good. Only stopped in the store one time. It was clean with comfortable seating but it was very loud in there from the blenders - I’d go back for a casual quick breakfast but it’s not a place I’d pick for brunch with the homies. Got the avocado toast takeaway before but I was not impressed - too much bread, not enough toppings. I go to this place when I crave the protein shake“

“We took our great granddaughter's age 7 and 9. We all really enjoyed the atmosphere. Good kids menu and the hamburger was delicious. Our server Cal was excellent,very informative and helpful . I give a big shout out Cal. Thanks for the experience.“

“I had many amazing experiences with all of the staff members throughout the hotel during our stay for conference. The front desk staff, the bar staff, the conference room staff.... everyone was super friendly and nice. The guys outside helping with cars, the shuttle and such were probably the most helpful. We talked to all different shifts and met them all and they were just so nice. Today I checked out and forgot my blanket somewhere. We knew it was in hotel but the shuttle was leaving. Otto ran up to look for it but we had to leave to go to airport. I swear I literally got off the shuttle and was looking for my passport and turned around and there he was with my blanket!! Who is so kind!? Thank you to the whole staff for being so kind but Otto....that was a Minky and was over $200!! Wasn't just any blanket and Ohio is not close to Arizona! Thank you so so so much!!!“

“Cool, modern, chic! Dog lovers ❤️“

“We are in town from Washington and have nothing but great things to say about Thirsty Lion. We went in for happy hour and bought 5 appetizers ( fried spicy cauliflower was our fav) . Multiple drinks. The waitress Karlie was a huge highlight of our visit, very friendly and knowledgeable. Never an empty drink or dirty plate on the table. You could tell she enjoys her job. We will be back whenever we are in town.“

“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.“
