Chicken quesadilla with roasted red peppers and grilled onions

My chicken quesadilla with roasted red peppers and grilled onions was everything flavors seasoning was on point

Smaller nacho fries ordered with burger.

Great food. Good service. Had the BT boss burger and nachos fries. Yum! Got here a little early but atmosphere was pleasant.

First time at Burger Theory. Had a large group meet that was served as a burger buffet to build your own. Good selection of burgers, fixings and sides. Food was good, service was excellent. Venue was great for intended meet and greet. Probably higher score on food if ordered from menu but I totally get it. Restaurant is next to Holiday Inn. Not too far from ASU Skysong. Put this one on your list.

If your in the area and not in a rush stop by Burger Theory located in the Holiday Inn parking lot. If your not in a hurry is the key word here. The staff is very friendly and the fries are some of the best around.

Lettuce wrap instead of a bun.
Marla R.

We had out of town company visiting and burgers was the craving. We decided to try a new place, but we don't expect to go back. The concept is nice but execution was weak. The highlight was the fries and the bacon on the burgers. The meat is a blend and had a different taste, it wasn't bad - just different. I can't really say why we weren't impressed, we just weren't. We had a new server, but she was trying hard and the rest of the staff helped her out.

Farm fresh burger
Billy B.

A fair option for lunch burger spot. Although not my first choice the variety and build to your own style make it a middle ground if you're in a party with picky eaters. They have regular beef patties (single or double order), chicken, and veggie/portabello mushroom options. Everything that comes out is cooked to your expectation and absolutely edible. Don't forget to pair with a beer, the burgers are on the smaller side. I ordered the farm fresh burger, the cheese was the highlight that added the saltiness and delivered most of the flavor. The onion rings were huge, fries were crispy, and salad was a standard house salad with a side of ranch. A bit on the pricier side and with so many other options available in the area.

Great outdoor patio!

Who doesn't love a juicy burger with a great special sauce all served outside in a casual setting? Great service, nice drink menu and the burgers are a two napkin juicy! Onion rings non greasy too. Travel all day and need a good burger? Here's the spot!

Build your own: veggie patty, sauted onions, mushrooms, lettuce and tomato! Yum!! Side of their seasoned fries!
Deedee W.

I really like this place! The menu is fun. Many different options for premade burgers, salads and soups. But the fun part is make your own burger! You get to chose your protein (veggie patty and portabello's avail for the non meat eater), pick your veggies, cheese, condiments and extras like a fried egg! So they have vegan and veggie options! The service was also great. We stopped on our way to a concert so told our server we were in a hurry and he did not disappoint! Got our food, ate well, paid our check and gone! Side note: there is an affiliation with Holiday Inn which I think is a brilliant concept for travelers. Don't have to eat at the cheezy diner next door or the basic hotel kitchens when traveling. Next time out around Arcadia area look this place up and give it a try!

Veggie burger wrapped in lettuce with boursin cheese
Chandra J.

Went here with a friend yesterday for lunch after seeing this place open a few years ago before leaving AZ. I wasn't super hungry, so I struggled with either just getting a soup and fries or a burger. I decided to go with their veggie burger wrapped in lettuce with the boursin cheese. The waitress, who was so nice and attentive despite running the bar and tending to tables, recommended it. When I asked her what the soup of the day was she also recommended it because she had just tried it. It was a tomato based soup with beans, tomatoes, and a sprinkle of onions. She was really sweet to bring me a cup with my meal and it was delicious. The veggie burger was nothing short of amazing. It was cooked just right and had tons of seasoning--so yummy! The cheese made everything pop and I could just go on eating, but my stomach made me stop. The fries were also amazing with a nice hint of salt and crispness! I could've made a meal just out of the fries! Despite the restaurant being a little crowded our waitress was kind and so attentive! I definitely would come back here for the yummu food and great service!

Build Your Own Burger, Coleslaw
Orlando M.

Actually the burger was very good. I liked that they had leaf wraps available for build your own. However the coleslaw was not good, it seemed like something was going bad. Like others say the bread was definitely a weak link for the price of this food. The bar server was professional and quick, and the place was chill casual bar vibe overall.

Not so good. Pretty fun space, but despite it almost being empty, service was slow. And the burger was tiny and dry. Decent fries.

Brunch Snob delivers exactly what the name promises, elevated brunch dishes go along with a comfort…read morevibe . Even though there was a longer wait, the food and experience made it feel worth it. The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

My husband i stayed here for two nights as a staycation for his birthday and we needed it to reset and recharge. we've visited this property in the past and they are always so helpful and it's easy to get around, albeit the hilly parking might make those prone to anxiety a little wary. but overall, this was a great time away from our home. The reason i'm updating my review to three stars is because there is absolutely no enforcement of the 21+ rule at the adult pool. While taking a night swim on our last night, we witnessed two teenagers openly fighting and throwing f bombs at a guest who was trying to ask them to not leave their little sister alone in the pool while they cared more about their stupid tik tok dance. Parents and staff absolutely nowhere to be seen. This happened at 8:30 pm and the guest managed to hold his own against two spoiled brats.

When we walked in, we weren't even greeted with a hello. The first thing they said was, "We close in five minutes." I grew up working in a bar, and we always served anyone who walked in before closing time, and we weren't even a resort with multiple dining options. Regardless, the staff seemed already annoyed, and honestly, it ruined our night. With so many other options in the area, I wouldn't stay here.

The juices and smoothies…read moreare absolutely delicious, the food never disappoints, and the atmosphere has to be one of the best around. One thing I really appreciate is how convenient they make everything. From the water dispensers to the utensils, condiments, and even to-go boxes, everything is set out and easy to grab. I also love the counter-style ordering because the food always comes out quickly, while you can still sit down and enjoy the space without feeling rushed. The outdoor seating is probably my favorite part. The entire property has such a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere and feels like somewhere you actually want to spend time rather than just grab a meal and leave. There are also so many unique gifts to browse while you're there, which makes the whole experience even better. Between Luci's, the ice cream parlor, the tavern, the shops, and all of the outdoor space, there's so much in one place. It's also a great setup for events or getting a group together. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, great drinks, and so much to do. Definitely one of those places I'm always happy to come back to!

CHILAQUILES UNFORTUNATELY WERE A MISS!…read more I will preface this by saying everything else was very good, so I will come again and update my review at that time. I came here for a breakfast date with a friend. They have a decent size parking lot. Upon entering, there is a great outdoor space with tons of tables, many with shade. Your order at a counter inside. I got Chilaquiles and a matcha, and my friend got a burger. Unfortunately my chilaquiles were the worse I've ever had! It seemed like store bought chips with sauce thrown on top, not fried in sauce at all. And the menu describes it as having pulled pork but these were chunks of meat. The provolone on top was a slice melted, no shredded cheese. It just didn't hit. My Mexican friend said the sauce wasn't very good either, I thought it was okay. I didn't even eat half of my meal. I will say, his burger was very delicious. Super juicy, and fries were cooked well. I thoroughly enjoyed my matcha as well. The chilaquiles were just so bad that I can't give a higher rating at this time. Since the burger was so good, I'd love to see what the other dishes taste like.
