    Vegan papas tacos - sweet potatoes and black beans. Not sure if it had cauliflower
    Lori A.

    We tried a couple of their vegan items and sat in the new tasting bar because the main location was full. I actually liked it a lot better in there anyway because it's newer, cleaner and quieter. We had the vegan counter culture burger and really like the toppings of guac, red peppers, and a spicy chipotle ranch. It was pretty good but hard to eat because the height of it all was huge. We also had the papas and "cauliflower" tacos. I didn't see any cauliflower in there although maybe it was diced really small? The "papas" are tiny diced sweet potatoes. The fries were ok, but very well done and we made sure to specify no duck fat. Everything in the taco contains tiny pieces which easily fall out of the tortilla as you eat. The beer was top notch as always. Service was fast and friendly and they all work as a team.

    The ambiance in the Tasting Room is amazing. The other larger area is great too but we love the Tasting Room. Patrons are friendly and the staff aims to please. Check out their taco Tuesday, really! Love the creativity of their beers !

    Twist frozen margarita
    Hiilei W.

    I was seeing those frozen margaritas online and I knew I just needed to try them! So happy we did, even came on a Monday so they were half off. They were delicious and can still taste the tequila. Tried some onion rings absolutely delicious as well, those were the full size. Ambiance was cool, sat outside and misters were working overtime. Shout out the bartenders super nice people.

    08/10/2026 My mom and I love the Baselayer Burrito ($17 + $2 to add egg), but it was not as good today. The burrito size seemed smaller today, which would've been fine with us, but other factors made it unsatisfactory. There were lots of beef fat instead of meat - many small pieces, and I also got a thick piece of fat, like an inch thick. I should've taken a picture of it. This had never happened before in the dozens of times I've had the burrito. There was also a random coconut flavor that was never there before, and it did not pair well with the other flavors. Another change was the burrito didn't come with a side before, and this time it was served with tortilla chips. The chips were okay, but I'd rather have more duck fat fries. Service was good to start, and he checked in with us shortly after we got our food. Then we didn't see our server for a long time after that. So we sat there for a bit after finishing our food. I hope they take this feedback into consideration because I'm willing to come back and give the burrito another try.

    Our search for the best burgers in Phoenix brought us to Arizona Wilderness Brewing. We visited on a Friday around 6:00 PM; the place was hopping, and the atmosphere was great with basketball playing on several TVs. We were greeted and seated immediately. We started with a beer and the cauliflower appetizer--both were amazing! Just a heads-up: the cauliflower is a little spicy, but totally addictive. Our burgers arrived quickly. The onion rings and duck fat fries were on point with unique seasoning, and the homemade ketchup and pickles were a welcome surprise. We tried the PB&J burger, which was both creative and delicious. Overall, it was a fun "dinner adventure," and we will definitely be back!

    I've been to this brewery a few times. The food is always fresh and they have plenty of drinks to choose from. They have both indoor and patio (with misters) seating. They're usually busy at dinner time, even on the weekdays, but we've never had to wait long. I like to get their side salad with a breaded chicken breast cut on top. Their breading for their fried chicken is delicious. Highly recommend!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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…

    One of the best burger spots in town. The garlic fries are the best I've ever had. Nice and crispy…read morewhile flavored with butter and garlic. The burgers are very big and filling. They're smashed burgers, so thinner but multiple patties. The sports atmosphere is a perfect match for what they offer. Don't sleep on the lobsta rolls too!

    I had been wanting to try Matty G's at another location, but when I finally was able, they closed…read more I'm not frequently in the area, but as I was making plans, I made sure to include it as a stop. I'm a big sports fan so as soon as I walked in, I was all about the baseball and sports collection all around the restaurant. Lots of great fun facts about baseball greats like Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays & many more. To eat, I went with the Triple Crown, which is a double steakburger, bacon and a fried egg. I added lettuce, tomato's and pickles. I thought the egg was gonna be fried all the way through, but it was more like a fried sunny-side-up egg. I wasn't gonna let that stop me from enjoying. Added the fries & drink combo to the burger and figured to upgrade to the garlic fries to see how they were done. While I waited, I enjoyed the decor and learn a few new things about some of my favorite baseball players. My burger was on point and great. I like the garlic fries, but I've always included rosemary, and I think that was missing for me. They have alcohol and a bar around the corner. I like being able to self-serve myself with soft drinks. Seating outside is patio pet-friendly and offers great shading if you come in the afternoon as the sun sets behind the building. They have this location and one in Flagstaff that I will absolutely return back for. I do think I spent more than expected, but it was a great quality burger. I just wish the fries came with it for that price.
