    Country fried steak
    Allison J.

    This place is nice. The restaurant is a little cramped inside. I got the country fried steak and eggs and honestly not bad. The eggs were good. I asked for fries and got potatoes however. The country fried steak itself isn't horrible. It's is crunchy because it has more batter I think. The gravy also was kind of bland and needed salt. Not to compare but Cracker Barrel country fried steak I personally think is better. The staff is friendly though and quite nice.

    Busy Sunday morning

    Solid hole-in-the-wall breakfast place. Small and tight, the service is genuine and lovely. Food is definitely diner style with generous portions and fairly priced. Find this place and enjoy.

    Went back to try the lunch. Had a great turkey melt with green chilies and hot crisp fries. Probably needed a bit of nayo, but great turkey quality.

    Chili Verde was the BOMB!!! Chicken Benedict was really good, country fried steak was really good. Everything was D-LISH!!! So so YUMMY!!!!!

    It had been a few years since I had been here. Not because the food and service isn't great, we just don't live in the area. Was craving pork roll (it's a Jersey thing), my husband had the day off for our anniversary and were going to be close by for another errand so 40th St. was the perfect spot. Ordered my regular breakfast sandwich subbing the pork roll for standard breakfast meat. ($3.99 upcharge but well worth it). Husband ordered the Polish sausage breakfast. Place is full of regulars the wait staff know on a first name basis. Food comes out quickly and hot. Mine was perfect. Husband's would have been but he ordered hashbrowns but received home fries. Home fries cooked great but he hates potato skin. His scrambled eggs cooked nicely and polish sausage split and caramelized on the flat top. My sandwich was as it always is. Bread and pork roll griddled perfectly. Egg over medium, cheese melty. This sandwich is a taste of home for me. Two eggs instead of one would have made my year. This little spot serves great breakfast at a decent price. Personable customer service in a clean atmosphere. Thank you 40th St. Cafe for making my anniversary breakfast a wonderful experience.

    Love this little Cafe! The staff is amazingly friendly, the food is always great no matter what I have had, and the prices are unbelievable! It is a cozy Cafe so sometimes there is a little wait but well worth it!

We laughed so much with her, and she made us feel like we'd known her for years. Honestly, we couldn't have imagined a better evening with her looking after us. Ask for her section if you go, and don't be shy about asking her for recommendations! The food was fresh and so delicious, and the portions were big! We shared the calamari, a side salad and lasagna, then finished with Italian cookies, tiramisu and a latte. Definitely consider sharing, and save room for dessert! We loved the food, the atmosphere and how welcome everyone made us feel. We've already been telling people to visit and ask for Lisa! Lisa, thank you for all the laughs and for making our night so special. The Sicilian Butcher is lucky to have you. We've fallen in love with Arizona, and this evening was one of the reasons why. Until we meet again!

I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again.

Best Bolognese in town in my opinion. The staff was more than accommodating. I showed up in my work attire, definitely not dressed for this restaurant and from the hostess all the way to my server and bartender and everyone treated me with the upmost respect.

This was years ago, before the speakeasy existed. I remember we were greeted at the table with glasses of champagne. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. We had one of the best desserts of our lives. 10/10 first impression. We went back maybe a year later after the speakeasy was built in, and it seemed like all their attention went to that instead. They were out of a bunch of dishes on the menu. I remember we all got our food except for my husband and we finally had to ask the server what was going on with his dish and that's when they told us they were out of that dish he had ordered too. They offered to make something else on the house, but at this point we were all almost done with our food so he ended up with nothing. They did try to make it right, I'll give them that, but it was a weird experience. We decided to give the restaurant one last try for my mom's birthday over the weekend and it solidified our opinions on this place. First of all, it's EXPENSIVE. I get it's Scottsdale but they are trying way too hard with $80 ribeyes and $1500 bottles of wine, but not giving you anything for it. Don't get me wrong, I'll enjoy an expensive meal when I feel it's warranted. The food, service, details need to go above and beyond to justify my $500+ tab. That's just not the case here. The server didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Didn't even offer a birthday dessert? We ordered salads before our meals and our entrees showed up two minutes later. My sister had her leftover pasta boxed up and they never brought it back. She asked about it and they said they could fire her a new one, but we were ready to go at this point. These are not issues you should be having at an upscale restaurant at this price point. After all this, we won't be returning. There are much better restaurants at lesser price points that offer amazing food with above and beyond experience. Everyone try Restaurant Progress instead!

    The Worst beef stroganoff EVER!!!!…read more Been craving beef stroganoff for months. Finally found a place that serves it. Took us a while to get service. We ordered drinks and the food at the same time. The waiter walked away within five minutes the food was plopped on our table. The beef stroganoff was literally in a cereal / soup bowl that you would have from home. You know that one bowl that has no other matching set to it. It's the only one that's lasted in the cabinet all those years with the chip. It had no presentation no garnish just a plop of porridge in it that just looked horrible. For $25 I was expecting just a little bit more I went with my sister and we were just to hungry at the time so we tried the food and it didn't even taste good. Maybe it was the sour cream that had gone sour is what it tasted like. The meat was kind of sporadically through the stroganoff I got a lot of large pieces of seared tough meat. The kind of beef that been over cooked too long in a pan and it kind of sticks to the pan. No soft moist meat at all. It didn't have any of the flavors of stroganoff It had the weirdest taste. I didn't taste mushroom. I didn't taste sour cream, it kinda had a taste of a hollandaise sauce, tasted kind of lemony. Honestly, I should've sent it back for $25 for that slop of porridge. I couldn't get a waiter back over to us. I had a hunt down salted pepper just kind of spice it up a little bit. It was utterly disgusting I've had good German food and this isn't the place They had a nice courtyard. A guy was playing some polka music, then switched over to Americanized music. It was just a very, very bad experience The food was completely disgusting

    There is service, and then there is hospitality…read more Service is taking an order, delivering a drink, clearing a plate and doing everything expected of you. Hospitality is noticing. Last night at Humble Oysters & Bubbles was one of those rare reminders of what genuine hospitality actually looks like. Humble Bistro and Humble Oysters are close to our home, so we visit both fairly often. We decided on dinner last minute and originally walked into Humble Bistro because my wife loves their Caesar salad with the crispy Brussels sprouts. And admittedly, it really is that good. There was about an hour wait, so we walked next door to Humble Oysters instead. My wife ordered a salad there, but barely touched it. Chef Jorge, who I have seen countless times walking through the restaurants, talking with guests and checking on tables, noticed. That part matters. We didn't complain. We didn't ask for anything. He simply noticed. He came over and asked if everything was okay. We laughed and explained that she had really wanted the Caesar from next door, but we didn't want to wait an hour for a table. Five minutes later, Chef Jorge walked over to the bar carrying that Caesar salad from Humble Bistro. No request. No production. He just did it. And somehow, that wasn't even the first example of hospitality that evening. Earlier, I ordered a glass of wine they had unfortunately run out of. Instead of the bartender returning empty-handed and asking me to pick something else, she came over with another bottle and offered me a taste. I ultimately decided I wanted a cocktail instead. Her response? She poured me half a glass of the wine anyway and essentially said, "Sip on this while I make your cocktail." Such a small gesture. Yet somehow those are the ones you remember. Then, to finish the evening, owner Tim stopped by. What could have been the obligatory owner "How was everything?" turned into a genuine 15-minute conversation. And that's when everything made sense. Hospitality like this doesn't happen accidentally. When it radiates from the owner, to the chef, to the bartender, to the rest of the staff, you're seeing culture. Restaurants spend enormous amounts of time trying to teach hospitality. But the best hospitality rarely feels taught. It feels instinctive. It's noticing the untouched salad. It's bringing something from the restaurant next door without being asked. It's pouring someone a little wine while they wait for their cocktail. It's an owner taking 15 minutes to genuinely talk with the people sitting at his bar. Food gives you a reason to visit a restaurant. Hospitality gives you a reason to return. Last night reminded me just how powerful the difference can be.

It's their take on bruschetta, although I'd describe it more as a flatbread. It comes topped with honey smoked salmon, jalapeño cream cheese, red onion, crispy fried capote capers, chili oil, lemon, and parsley. The flavors were good, especially the honey smoked salmon, but unfortunately it had very little jalapeño cream cheese. Without it, the flatbread was a little dry. I also would have loved a little more chili oil and lemon. The cream cheese would have added the richness it needed. Thankfully, our other dishes were great. We ordered the Smorgasbord, which is consistently fabulous, and split the Humble Caesar, one of our all-time favorites. Those two dishes never disappoint. Humble Bistro continues to be one of favorites. If I order The Kosher again I would ask they make sure and add cream cheese.
