“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 :)“

“Great breakfast place, comfortable atmosphere ,friendly and pleasant staff, quick service and good food with plenty of large portions. I need to say consistently good, smooth drip coffee. Rarely I can do coffee straight up, no creme, no sugar - but here I can!! Prices are really reasonable and daily specials. Oh! Saw a lunch plate served of chili cheese fries that was stacked like a mountain on the plate. Defy anyone to finish it! Great old fashion neighborhood hang out.“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“Best Adult beverages! Super fun place!“

“I went specifically for one of the limited time pot roast sandwiches and it was DELICIOUS!! I hope they keep them permanently.“

“Really great food: fresh ingredients and flavorful. I highly recommended“

“I came in on Christmas Eve and was helped by Kelly. I had a double butter burger with broccoli and iced tea. The food was good and came the way I ordered it. Kelly was real nice and reminded me of the military discount. Would eat here again, people exiting the restaurant were thanking the staff for an excellent meal“

“Inside of the doubletree sits Milagros, a southwestern based restaurant. We didn’t come here for a full meal, just a light appetizer. The one thing that caught my eye was the chicken tortilla soup. The gentleman who served us was working behind the bar and seemed to suffer from a Parkinson’s type ailment, because when the soup was served it had made a mess around the edge and over the saucer. Kind of ruined the anticipation since I had been looking forward to it. It was tasty, just wish it hadn’t sloshed around so much.“

“We love everything we always stop for a drink so yummy 😋“

“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!“

“Amazing tater tots and chicken tacos!!“

“Wonderful food, fast, friendly!“

“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!!!“

“Love love love! Beautiful atmosphere, great service and fantastic food!“

“Grilled Alantic Salmon and the Blood Orange Cosmo was delicious.“

“Cool, modern, chic! Dog lovers ❤️“

“Great breakfast sandwich for the right price! Very delicious and filling. The quality of the ingredients really comes forward in it. The lady who helped me at the window was very nice, taking care to make sure a special request for my food was put in, and also offering to leave the balcony seating for me since I came just before close.“

“Most reviews mention that the wait staff are friendly and helpful, and are able to recommend suitable beer and food pairings.“

“We LOVED this place!! Great food and AMAZING customer service too! We will be back!“

“It's weird to talk about how great a brewery is by leading with salad, but in this case, I have to. I normally get whatever pub fare a brewery has but I was feeling something lighter, and the buffalo chicken salad is one of the best salads I've ever had. The beer here is also very very good bordering on great. They have a good variety of lighter stuff, barrel aged stuff, and IPAs, but it was really nice for me to be able to get a full flight with no IPAs as they aren't typically my favorite. In my mind, a must go to if you're in town. Beers took forever to come out despite me seeing my flight across the bar for 10 minutes, that's my only knock.“

“This review is for the Rainforest Cafe gift shop at the mall. Love the rainforest vibes, with its faux waterfall exterior sign and the fog machines over the alligator and the the parrot. They have a lot of cute rainforest animal plushies inside along with other nice souvenirs. They also have a dipping dots and this huge water column. Everything was well-organized and love the splashes of colors from the colorful souvenirs.
Accessible entrance and accessible parking mall-front.“

“Teadora excellent waitress...very friendly Friday 5/13 7.00 am“

“Food was fantastic - service was great“

“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.“
