Bonfire Porter

Good beers. Good food. Nice family place to stop into. This restaurant is huge and they have so many tvs so that patrons can watch any game that they want.

Beef Brisket Smoked Wings
Mani S.

Had a good first experience at Bonfire Craft Kitchen and Tap House Tempe. Food was on time, hot and fresh. We got beef tacos and smokes chicken wings. Sports Bar kind of vibe whicj was cool. Service was pleasant and nice. Will be back for a family dinner soon.

BBQ & Honey BBQ wings (smoked)
Vanessa B.

My husband and I bought a new car last night and our salesperson recommended this place. Since it stayed open late and it was close by, we decided to give it a go. Excellent Bar environment if you like bar food. They also have a few upgrades like a meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy if you're not craving the ol' burger and fries. Don't let this place fool you to thinking it's typical. They have bingo night and their chicken wings are large and meaty with a variety of sauces. We tried the Wecks and it came with Au ju sauce. Very flavorful. I also topped it off with a blueberry wheat beer. Yum checkout the pics below.

Burnt ends which were soooo good!
Barb G.

This was our second time coming to Bonfire and we specifically came for the Hypnotist Show that was scheduled. You pay for the event ($35) which includes dinner. The night of the show, what they do is give you a wristband and you are given $20 off your meal order. We had a large group joining us and we got there early in order to secure a table, which staff helped us with. Everything was great in that respect. Food was amazing! We had the burnt ends (so yummy!), patty melt, cole slaw, tater tots, and fried zucchini. Service during the busy event was tricky at best. There were 9 of us and 7 got their meals, the 8th meal came a bit later and my meal was totally gone! They made up for it by reordering and I did get the tater tots before the patty melt! Their patty melt is served on a rye roll, which for me is a lot of bread. I ate one half and then took the patty off and just ate it without the bread. Loved the zucchini and I had to ask a couple of times for ranch dressing, but again...given how crazy busy they were, understandable! The servicers were doing their best. The show itself was fun and entertaining. A fun and happy event for all of us! They offer lots of events and shows so check them out!

Food menu (side 1)

We went to watch NFL playoff game. Place was very busy, but servers did an outstanding job keeping up with the orders. Ours was on top of things, keeping drinks full and coming around frequently to see if we needed anything. We ordered a "duo sampler plater" of fried mushrooms and scoop fries. Both came out hot and delicious. Also ordered 10 pc smoked wings, great flavor, I just wish they offered lemon pepper as a dry rub. Atmosphere was pleasant considering it was crowed with football fans, temperature was just right inside not too cold or warm. Food and beverage prices are responsible.

Fried Cheese Curds
Danielle V.

Such a warm and inviting environment. It's the perfect place to catch a game and grab some delicious food! We started with the cheese curds because why wouldn't we!! They were fried to perfection and oozing with cheese! Our kids liked them too! My husband and I split the platter with green chile pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. The brisket and ribs melted in our mouth. The pulled pork was good but our least favorite. Ribs stole the show! If you want to get the kids off your back, they have a cool arcade room and Cornhole outside! I wish this was closer to Gilbert but we loved it and will be back! Service was amazing too!!!

Baby back ribs, truffle fries, Buffalo Hot Chicken Sandwich
Angeleah P.

Bonfire did not disappoint!! It came as a recommendation from a Phoenix local and I'm so glad we made it there. The atmosphere and vibes were great, very relaxing and chill. It's a huge place so we didn't wait but they do take reservations. We sat outside in the patio and it was perfect. There were lots of tables and some lawn games like cornhole. We were served extremely quickly. We ordered the 1/2 rack baby back ribs, buffalo chicken sandwich and a side of truffle fries. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge! I definitely recommend going here if you're in the Phoenix area!

Garlic Truffle Fries
Laz C.

Was looking for a burger for Mom and stumbled onto Bonfire. It was a Saturday during lunch. We walked in right before the rush. I was thinking, should we look for another place. I am so glad we stayed. Mom got her burger and I settled on a 1/2 pound order of burnt ends and a side of garlic truffle fries. OMG, so moist and tender like if you dropped some jello in your mouth. Great smoke and flavor. I've never had burnt ends like these. The menu offers many things! Pizza, sandwiches, burgers and BBQ goodness. Next time I'm probably getting a plate to sample more meats. If you ever have a large group you want to bring or worried about stopping by during peak times. Their dinning area is large, clean and wide open. They even have some outdoor seating.

Bills Mafia
Bobbi Jo R.

Came in during a visit to Mesa, AZ due to seeing this place on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dive. Happy to see this is a Bills Backers Bar. Brisket Poutine was really good! Maybe could have used a little more gravy, but the flavor was killer. The Dirty Cajun Pasta was delicious...just a hint of spice. The Pizza had a good crust, the smoke on the pork was a tad heavy for my taste, but overall a good pizza. The Bills memorabilia was great and a nice surprise for a couple of SW NY/ NW PA natives. GO BILLS! Definitely will visit again and recommend for Mafia visitors.

Bronco burger with "scoop" fries
Mike F.

We were searching for somewhere to eat after an event and we ended up at bonfire which claims to be an "elevated" family-friendly sports bar. It was a busy Saturday night but there was no waiting to be seated. Bonfire is a large restaurant and it is loud. We were immediately assaulted by karaoke but singers were rare. Our server was friendly but took a while to make her appearance at our table. The drink menu and the food menu are vast but vegetarian options seemed limited. They also have happy hour specials and daily drink specials, even on the weekends, which is nice. The sheer number of food options will probably allow everyone in your party to find something I ended up with an orange Brûlée beer which was good up front but the caramelized sugar flavors were lost in bitterness. I went with the Bronco burger which was ok, but nothing special. The scoop fries were fun but would go better with something.. to scoop. Probably great with queso or chicken dip! My brother got onion rings as his side and they were very generous. I think there were more onion rings on his plate than burger. So I'm a little torn here. Bonfire would be a good place if you're out with a group of friends and ok with shouting for any attempt at conversations. There's approximately 1000 TVs, karaoke, and a game room. Drink specials and pretty good food. If you're looking for a quiet venue then this is not for you. Special shout out to the lady having her 70th birthday party here and her guy singing Strokin' and Love Shack on Karaoke!

Ribby
Brad W.

Random visit when I was in the area for dinner at the bar. Huge menu, but the bbq smell was very prevalent. It was $16:for a 1/2 rack of baby back ribs. The ribs did fall off the bone and were good. Sauce was tasty, but no sauce choices. Served with a piece of bread, they probably could have given us a small side too.

Gila Monster Burger

It's a good place if you like smoked meat. The menu is pretty safe for kids, with chicken strips, pizza and burgers. Huge drink menu. Trivia on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Big bar! Friendly service.

Ole Fashioned in a mason jar!
Jin C.

I was out of town on a work trip, and came here for a social work event. This place was fantastic. Atmosphere/Ambiance - 5/5 - They have a nice long bar inside the restaurant, and in the far back, there is an area to play games. This is a great spot for gatherings. Staff - 4/5 - Tad slow at times, but overall the staff was friendly and helpful. Food/Drink - Ordered the following: Sampler Platter - 4/5 - $18 - It is a pick 3, so we chose the fried pickles, cheese curds, and onion rings. Nothing special here, but who doesn't love fried food? Ole Smokey Pizza - $21 - This was their BBQ brisket pizza, and it was awesome. It has brisket, pulled pork and smoked chicken on it. Nuff said. Carnasaurus - $23 - 5 meats (pepperoni, hot links, sausage, bacon & brisket). Oh and I made it reaper style for $2 where they added carolina reaper and habaneros on it. It is definitely hot, but tasty. If you like heat, make it reaper style. I have to also mention that their old fashioneds are pretty cool, as they add smoke and keep it sealed in a mason jar. It is a really cool presentation. Overall, this place was great, and highly recommend. I am very glad I was able to meet some of my colleagues and try the delicious pizzas.

Original cheeseburger and a side salad.  It smaller then normal ones. But tasty!

The totchos were great, I ate more than my stomach appreciated. My husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich with marinara and a cold beer. I did not ask him how his meal was, but his sandwich disappeared pretty quickly so im assuming it was tasty. The woman running trivia was delightful, with a fantastically dry sense of humor. At one point she mentioned she once got to see Prince and touched his ankle. Long story short, I have now touched the hand that touched Prince's ankle. We made it through 7 rounds of trivia and somehow WON! A crowning achievement of year 37 of my life, for sure. This win earned us: a $25 gift certificate to the lovely Sawtooth Bar & Grill establishment, a rubber ducky of our choosing, a crystal pendant (optional), and 1 week of ownership of the trivia night trophy . We did not trust ourselves to remember to bring back the trophy, and I did not trust some of the fellas to bring it back in one piece, so the bar staff graciously took custody of it until next week's trivia night. The bar itself is super cozy. Nice low lighting, small place but you don't feel cramped. Lots of TVs and a few arcade games. My husband and his BFF frequent this spot and tell me wonderful things about the owner. With the decor, setup, menu and general ambience, it feels like a Midwestern bar more than one in AZ. All in all, I really enjoyed myself and will happily return for another trivia night. If the staff ever happens upon this review, I apologize for the conjoined twins that are my husband and his best friend Scott. They're like a couple of labradors out on a play date when they're together. Thanks again for the fantastic evening, Sawtooth!

Before our dinners ever came, we had 3 people check in on us to see if we were ok for refills and anything else you can think of? So the customer service was awesome! My wife ordered a Turkey Bacon sandwich I ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. My wife told me about 2 bites in that we would be back. For my chicken sandwich, I'm a fan. Before this my favorite chicken sandwich was from a restaurant that closed about 20 years ago. I order chicken sandwiches everywhere I go. This sandwich was better than any chicken sandwich I've had in over 20 years. It was better than the one I used to have. I told her we were coming back tomorrow but she said no because then it wouldn't be special. This place is an perfect sports bar, we will be back a lot.

It was a larger too, lots of space to move around. I was a little late and everyone had already ordered and started eating food. I shared some food with my friend. I tried the potato skins, deep fried cheese curds and deep fried fish. None of this was terrible, typical bar food. The negative part of my experience was our server. She was not nice and I always felt like I was inconveniencing her every time I asked for something. Her responses were always short and annoyed. I wish I remembered her name. She is the main reason I will not come here again unless it's with work friends (as this is conveniently located for all of us).

We walked in just before 430 and the place was packed. That was totally unexpected. Not sure if its always like that or if it was because of the NBA finals. There are large screen TVs everywhere and all playing some sport on it. There was music playing too. With all the people, TV's and music it was very loud to say the least. Our server was super attentive and nice. I ordered the southwest eggrolls that came with a ranch dipping sauce (it was not traditional ranch but I forget what our server called it). It was $5 for my order. These eggrolls were AH-MAZING! The ranch was amazing too! Our server said all their dressings and sauces are made in house which you can definitely taste. My order came with three eggrolls cut in half and I was full after 2. They were very flavorful and not spicy at all. I would order these again in a heartbeat. I tried a friends guacamole which was really good and also not spicy. I would love to see chips and queso on their menu. They had chips and salsa and chips and guacamole but no chips and queso. Also, and the only thing that bothered me is they don't print your check. They hand you their handheld POS device and stand there while you tip them. I don't know if the suggested tip includes tax or not because they don't print your check. I tip on the cost of the meal before tax but this process they have doesn't allow me to do that.
