    The nachos are so good!
    Alisha O.

    I always enjoy AZ Wilderness. The nachos with their hot sauce is my new fave and perfect with the margarita!

    Oklazona Burger
    Michael V.

    They're known for their beer and burgers. And on those, they delivered! I enjoyed the darker beers, the amber, and their award winning light beer. The service was very kind and quick, even on a Saturday. They have plenty of porch seating as well if you like that. I got the Oklazona Burger (I think is how you spell it) and it was utterly amazing. Juicy, spicy, soft, and perfect. One of my favorite burgers. The tacos didn't fair as well though, with the fish being the only liked flavor and the other three (carne asada, pork, and avocado/veggie) not being big hits. I still highly recommend the burgers though and will definitely be back to enjoy them more often!

    Excellent food and cocktails with Gen Z service. Not a dis but feels dead on. It was loud near the bar but not so you couldn't talk across the table. The burgers were delish. It's a very thin smash burger so maybe get the double. The single was plenty for me. And I tried the beet salad which I passionately love beets so it was great to find. Tried the fries too which . Over all I think it was an amazing experience

    Wicked chicken sandwich
    Christine N.

    It's been quite a few years since I was last here, but boy was it as delicious as I remembered. The Wicked Chicken sandwich I got was really flavorful with the sauce they add, the bacon was crispy, and the chicken was tender and moist too. The duck fat fries are classic and rich without being heavy. I love how refreshing their dessert blossom tea is and great as an Arnold Palmer. I highly recommend coming here. Our server was friendly and checked in on us often. The brewhouse vibes and outdoor seating is a great casual spot to meet with friends or coworkers.

    Zero Proof cocktail menu (Jan 2026)
    Christine T.

    Arizona Wilderness has been my favorite AZ brewery for probably a decade now. Love their flagship beer, Refuge IPA. My seasonal favorites include March for Orange session IPA (brewed in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society) and Dreamsicle double IPA. They're always experimenting and releasing new beers as well. They usually have a few cocktail options. Right now for January 2026, they also have a variety of zero proof cocktails. In addition to delicious drinks, they make really good food. Their PB&J burger is really popular, though I personally have not tried it. I love their chicken fingers and duck fat fries. Always get the duck fat fries. What I come back for the most is the Base Layer Burrito, add egg +$2. Make sure to ask for a side of their house-made hot sauce - it's spicy but so worth the little bit of sweat. They source local ingredients as much as possible. The food and drink quality has been consistent, and the service is great. There is patio seating in the front and the back, and indoor seating in the taproom and main dining room, as well as bar seating with a few TVs. They have a second location on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix, and recently a third location on McDowell Miracle Mile. The menu is different at MM, and I can't wait to check it out.

    I hope you didn't hurt your head reading this?

    12/11/2first Visit. Location 5/5 Located in the beautiful downtown Gilbert Entertainment and eatery district. See my collection for Downtown Gilbert! Parking 5/5 Today I cheated and caught a ride in our carpool Van. Arrived noonish and Rooster found parking out front. Atmosphere 5/5 Cool casual open spaces concept, darker country sports bar feel with lots of room for patrons. The entry front patio space was dog friendly and active. Dog owners meet-up! We were seated on the outdoor covered back patio which is perfect for large groups. We had -25 in our group today. Service 5/5 I hope to get our servers name and update, she was a champ working us solo and did an amazing job from drinks through orders and timely food delivery. Prefect personality for this. Again thank/you from all of us! Food 5/5 The menu was fun to explore, I was pleased to we were at a scratch kitchen which incorporates fresh sourced ingredients and grass fed beef. Lots of unique chief inspired nuanced ingredients parings. My Burger was no exception. Excellent craft burger! The duck/fat fries were delicious as well. Expertly seasoned with a healthier fat for cooking. Everyone enjoyed their food. Come see and enjoy many different spaces to try your delicious meal with thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Eat well my friends-SYOY!

    I hate writing negative reviews. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month since he loves the chicken and waffles and I love the PB&J burger. The two stars are for the service. This only happens when we go with Latinos. The last 3 times we went with Latinos the service has been terrible, so much that my boyfriend pointed it out it's only when we come with Latinos. Even when it's not busy, we have to find our server and request to order, once we didn't get napkins, and silverware even though we asked twice. The food comes out great. It's just like we get ignored. And it's not like we order difficult things or we are rude. We still tip good because I've worked in the industry. But I think maybe the staff needs inclusive training because any other time we have good service.

    PB&J burger
    Julianne C.

    Came here for lunch a few days ago and it was my first visit. We sat at the awkward end of the bar and Riley was our server. She was very sweet and recommended a few of the popular burgers, as well as what they're known for, their PB&J burger. So, that's what I ordered (always gotta go for a good "known for"). Unfortunately, there was BARLEY a whisper of peanut butter. It was a literally a burger patty, with really good bacon and a smidgen of jalapeño jelly. Very disappointing to say the least. However, I am still rating this a four stars, because our server, Riley, was great, my boyfriend liked his smash burger and the fries were a delight, but....if you have a PB&J burger, it would help if it actually had some PB.

    Pilsner. Cold and perfect
    Vin S.

    Tasty beer and really good burgers! I dined here a couple of days ago with a group of friends and really enjoyed the experience. The staff was very friendly and the food was outstanding. They had a lovely pilsner, which I really liked, and I opted for the chicken sandwich on sourdough, which was really a treat. I'm a big fan of the Arizona wilderness, and equally a fan of the namesake brewery/restaurant!

    IPA Beer
    Steve S.

    I really enjoy a craft brewery. There's nothing better than trying a bunch of different brews. This place was awesome. It had a great vibes to it. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. We sat at the bar counter area, and hung out for like an hour and a half. I tried a total of 3 beers. Each one was unique and delicious. I had 2 different IPAs and 1 sour. IPAs are my favorite type of beer, and these were brewed perfectly. They had nice flavors and just hit the spot. The sour was a great one as well. This was definitely a chill place to hangout and enjoy some beers.

    Pork Schnitzel with delicious taters.
    Mike G.

    I stopped in with hopes of having some Octoberfest grub. They delivered. The Schnitzel was tasty, nice breading. My only gripe, it was kinda tough. Cooked about 2-3 minutes per side too long. The mushroom gravy was good, and I'm not a mushroom eater at all. Kicked the chicks off to the side. I had a beer flight as well. I was on my motorbike so I didn't finish all of the beers but they were good brews. My first time at this or any of the Wilderness spots. I'd fldef return.

    Bavarian Pretzel Sticks
    Pat M.

    The food was super good and the service was really good. It got kind of hot on the patio but it wasn't too bad.

    Peanut Butter and Jalapeno Jelly Burger
    Cathal B.

    This place is fantastic, great pub food, nice casual atmosphere, friendly service, everything is perfect! I've been there a few times before over the years, it's still the best. It is pub food but they do source fresh healthy and local produce for all their dishes. Anyway, very highly recommended in absolutely every single way!!!

    Ask the Community - Arizona Wilderness Brewing

    What size/weight burgers we talking about?

    Big enough to share with one other person. At least it was for us. Try their bacon blue it's outstanding.

    Do they fill growlers?

    Yes, our beer is offered to go in 4pack cans, bottles, growler or a 32oz crowler can! Unfortunately, due to COVID sanitation concerns we are unable to allow outside growlers to be refilled, but have new avaiable for purchase.

    What are the happy hour specials?

    M-F 3-6pm and Sunday all day Steins

    Do they take reservations? I'm going in a group of about 6 people

    Been coming here a long time and we've never been able to call ahead.

    Are you guys dog friendly?

    Absolutely! Bring the whole family!

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes, patio is dog friendly

    Is the beer vegan by chance? Are any of their IPAs vegan?

    Is this restaurant kid friendly?

    Yes. They have high chairs and it gets loud enough that the occasional kid yell or scream won't really be heard. That being said, there's no specific kid friendly food served there. But we take our 1.5 year old every time and it's been fine.

    Does the veggie burger patty happen to be vegan?

    It is vegan! No animal products of any kind are used in this patty's ingredients or preparation methods. Keep in mind, the bun we offer is an egg wash brioche. However, this patty is delicious on salads and our black bean delight can be served… Read more

At first I thought I didn't want a burger as I usually make my own at home but was pleasantly surprised at the menu & ambiance. Sarina was our waitress & I asked her if the California Bowl was like a salad with a veggie burger as it doesn't state a beef patty? She said it's like a burger w/o a bun but as a bowl w/the ingredients & TOPPED with a beef patty. Oh, I see... So I asked if I could just have the Basmati Rice but it was a mixture of Basmati & Quinoa so she said she could give me more ingredients of something else like Brussels sprouts or Greens so I asked for more Greens. The ingredients are: griddled Sweet Potatoes, roasted Mushrooms, caramelized Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Quinoa, Avocado slices with a Tamari glaze. It was also topped with Cilantro & Green Onions. I also ordered an Iced Tea. The California Burger Bowl was soooo delicious with such a flavor bomb of textures, sweetness & caramelized, smokey flavors! The crunchiness from the cold greens, warm Brussels Sprouts, soft & sweet Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potatoes, plus the creaminess of the Avocados was such a great medley! I think I need to replicate this at home! Very creative & healthy! My cousin & friend both got burgers, one topped with mushrooms & one with a lettuce wrap sub, Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fries. The seating is very comfortable with the cushioned seats & booths & the restaurant is very bright & airy with lots of windows & high ceilings. If you have to use the restroom, it's located outside & will give you a passcode. Highly recommend this place!

I should've gone with the onion rings since they never disappoint here, but I was trying to be a little healthy and balanced things out with the sweet potato fries, which were genuinely delicious.
