The Don Quixote is my all time favorite and I sub shrimp instead of chicken. It's always so flavorful and they are never stingy with the ingredients. It's always so clean in here and I like the variety of options. The staff always seem to be in a great mood which is refreshing to see. I like watching them make my salad from the glass. The salads are a little pricey but when you compare what you get, you are breaking even. They have plenty of seating options inside and options to sit outside. I ordered the Black Cherry fountain drink which has no artificial sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup, and are made with natural flavors. I have had the caramels from the register area and they are always so good.

TLDR; give this place a visit and try all the things!…read more I wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars. 10/10 most definitely recommend. I had never been here before and we decided to see if they were open (after learning on Christmas they were closed). This surpassed all expectations. The photos beforehand said that I would love this place and they were not wrong. We were immediately greeted and sat. Natiesha, our server, was extremely helpful with recommendations and attentiveness. The restaurant was cozy with great vibes and very inviting. We had management come check on us, and made sure everything was good. Now for the best part, the food. We tried the crabby omelette, the chili verde huevos rancheros, and the seasonal winter spiced monkey bread french toast. We tried the herbed potatoes and biscuit with the house made jam (please order this jam, you won't regret it), and the polenta bites. Those polenta bites were probably the best side! The huevos rancheros had a great balance of flavor and heat and tenderness in the pork. The crab on the omelette was cooked to perfection. Overall, this is a place I look forward to repeating because there is so much more on the menu to try!

The manager even did a table top checks- that's never happened before. She was walking around asking the tables how everything was.

We shared a Berry Avocado Quinoa Bowl and a Perfectly Grilled Cheese. They even plated them separately for us! (2 plates with half a grilled cheese and French fries on each and 2 bowls with our Berry Avocado quinoa! So sweet and helpful!) Everything was very delicious--fries were seasoned and crispy! The grilled cheese and sweet and salty (they use their spiced pear bread, a delicious four cheese blend and bacon). Quinoa bowl was very hearty! The space was cozy and not too loud--my friend and I were able to catch up without having to raise out voices. Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of their menu!

I ordered one of the side salads but I asked if I could have them add fresh pear to it because of course the name of the place is Perfect Pear Bistro so I was naturally craving pears. The ambience was cute and classy. I sat on the patio because it was gorgeous outside, but I did take a peek inside and it has a low lit upscale rustic vibe. There was plenty left in the salad after I housed my sandwich (elegantly) and I finally had to tap out and get a to-go box. Lovely little stop, would come back.

I had this place bookmarked in Yelp and it was close enough from the theater. It is directly across Mandi House another one of our favorite restaurants. I already knew what I wanted to order before we arrived. We ordered the Shish mix plate, which included a skewer each of Lamb, chicken, and beef kabob over basmati rice, greek salad, hummus, and bread! Everything was so delicious! I loved the char on the kabobs which were cooked over open flame. The hummus tasted so freshly prepared. The Greek salad was cold with crispy lettuce. The bread was soft! I'm telling you, you can't go wrong with this place. It was enough to serve both of us!

Just like last time, our waitress was not attentive, and clearly had very little knowledge of the menu. &We had to chase her down, just like we did before, to get our bill, once we were ready to head out... My husband ordered the smokestack burger which had brisket on it. Before ordering, he asked if the burger had a beef patty on it, or if it was only brisket meat. The waitress told us it was only brisket. She said "it's not a burger patty, just more of a patty shape but it's brisket." That didn't quite make sense, but we figured she should know more about it than we do.... Right? Then he ordered a side of billionaire bacon for the burger. The menu does not even show that there is already bacon on the burger.... Had we known that, we wouldn't have ordered an additional side of it. I got the billionaire bacon burger. It was very flavorful. However, the fries did not taste fresh at all, and I felt that the recipe for the fries changed since last year. They just weren't as good as I remember them being? It was also a bit of a bummer that the waitress did not ask how we wanted our burgers cooked (and my husband wasn't even expecting a burger patty). They came out well done. We would have requested medium rare, had we been given the chance. All in all, this is still our anniversary destination, but we will certainly request a different waitress if we were paired up with her in the future.

They serve salads, bowls, sandwiches, all-day breakfast, protein shakes, fresh juices, and other healthy, fast-casual eats for dine-in or take-away. My kind of place! This is one of those spots that I'd frequent if I lived nearby (ChopShop, want to open in Northern California?!). I stumbled upon this spot after a little self-guided tour of ASU campus on a sleepy Sunday morning (everyone must have been asleep after the big football game the day before). I'd forgotten about this spot and it was such a happy surprise to find it again and to see that they survived the pandemic and are still thriving. First visit I ordered: -Cheat Day Wrap: scrambled egg, bacon, white cheddar, smashed avocado, tomato, brown rice (I ordered without rice), and turkey or ham (I skipped these too) *DELISH on a whole wheat wrap!!! Full of flavor and super easy to eat. This hearty breakfast sando fueled my active morning of hiking "A" Mountain (Hayden Butte Preserve) the running around the the IronMan course to spectate (30,000+ steps as a spectator!). We couldn't leave town without another trip. I took my guy and we enjoyed a salad, another breakfast wrap, and: -Chicken + Prosciutto Sandwich: grilled chicken, prosciutto, fontina, arugula, fig mostarda, dijon (no dijon for us), on a house bun. If you're in the area, looking for a healthy-ish breakfast, lunch, or snack, definitely check out Original ChopShop. Note: it gets busy at peak meal hours with students and faculty. Order at the kiosks (super easy), grab a number, find a table in their cozy interior or on their large front patio, and your food will be brought to you. Have a question? Just ask - the staff were very friendly and helpful in guiding our choices. And I love that they allow modifications to most menu items! We'll be back!!!

As I was riding my bike, I saw this place and made a quick stop to try it out…read more Now, make no mistake: this place has so many healthy items on its menu that it should please just about any health nut. But my first experience was not that great. They had plenty of places to sit, whether you like to sit indoors or outdoors. I decided to try the "Glow Up Shake," which is their protein shake. The shake was okay; it didn't blow me away. Considering that it has banana, pineapple, dates, etc., I was hoping it would melt in my mouth with a galaxy of flavor--darn, no such luck. But like I said, it was an okay drink that I think others might like. Now, as for the $3 pre-wrapped Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie? The first cookie they brought me was hard as a diamond. I asked if they could heat it up to soften it a bit like they do at Starbucks, but he said they can't? Wow, I didn't realize that heating a Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie was so complex that it can't be done by some places. Anyway, the minor good news was he brought me a different cookie that was soft enough to bend and break off a piece and chew without worrying about breaking a tooth. But the big question is, will I be back? Of course I will; the place has a plethora of healthy food which I like. And I'm sure when I order something other than a diamond-hard Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie, my experience will be somewhat better. This place does have a fantastic Wi-Fi. That's a plus.

There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?

But my goodness this cheese was fantastic. The crust was fantastic and I have to say the sauce was so good! I never eat the whole pizza and I did! My husband ordered like a meat lovers's pizza and he ate the whole thing and my son ordered a cauliflower crust pizza and he ate his pizza. It was fantastic!
