OK, we've been big fans of Caldwell's BBQ for years and somehow had never made it over to…read moreCaldwell's Mexi-Q... big mistake on our part--especially since it combines two of my all-time favorite things...brisket and tacos! Parking was a breeze, and since there were three of us (including one never-full teenager ), we went for the Mexi-Q Platter and added an extra birria taco so everyone could try one. It absolutely lived up to the hype! The surprise standout? The brisket tostada--sooooo flavorful and satisfying on every level! We also loved the sausage link, Mexi-Q twinkies (aka smoked jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, then wrapped in bacon ), and honestly, everything we tried was a hit. For sides, we ordered Grandma's Calabacitas (a yummy squash veggie mix), roasted cream elote, and Julio's mac n' cheese (which I skipped, but the guys were big fans). We wrapped up this phenomenal meal with their GF banana pudding (they offer both GF and regular options), and it was seriously scrumptious--such a treat to have a gluten-free dessert that feels just as special! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. They double-checked that everything we ordered (minus the mac n' cheese) was gluten-free, which is always such a relief. It means so much when a place truly understands gluten and can clearly guide you on what's safe. We sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather--it was the perfect setting for such a fun and tasty meal! An easily awarded and well deserved

Well, after reading Derrick's review, which is EXCELLENT BTW, I was i may give to go here, then saw Art's endorsement & I was sold! Upon arrival, the parking lot is small, instant anxiety that the place is packed! NOPE.. Just a small lot to park, so food a spot & get here NOW!

I mentioned i was torn between Brisket & Birria, so Brian F. said "get both! ", he recommends the Birria & Briaket for a 1st timer, I replied, LFG! Give me 2 of each, Brian replied "what about a twinkie? Having grown up during the Twinkie heyday, I was confused & not real interested... Brian F pulled out a Twinkie....

The place is delicious, the people are awesome & you would be an A-whole (pc) door not getting here now! I just found a GOTO place when I'm in the area! Thank you Brian F.

I think I may have found my new favorite chicken sandwich!…read more Having heard great things about Dave's Hot Chicken, today was finally the day that I darkened its doorstep. A rubber chicken sign with its mouth agape greeted me, shining in the sunlight above surrounding storefronts. The restaurant itself had graffitied walls, a refreshing ambience in the common wash of the average establishment. My order was taken by very friendly staff and I was seated. Order then arrived, two delightful sliders both bearing slaw and pickle slices, a side of fries and even more pickle slices. Upon first bite...let's just say the Chick Fil A cow should be ashamed and hide his face forever. Flavor, spice, salt, Dave knows what the hell he's doing! Overall, Dave's was really good! To top all of these positives off, two sliders (which are a very generous portion) and those fries were ~$15, very fair and competitive to other local spots!

One afternoon my boyfriend decided to order this for lunch and surprised me with a cheese quesadilla and a side of whole beans. One would think that's a boring lunch but it was SUPER good. Sometimes cheese quesadillas can be bland but whatever cheese they use had a lot of flavor. I could've eaten another for sure. The beans were also really really good. Next time I'll scour their menu for some more vegetarian items as I definitely want to try this place again!

For years, I've heard of Jollibee and was told if there was one ever in my area to check it out. A…read moreYelp Friend mentioned how amazing their coleslaw and spaghetti was, so I was intrigued. My friends met for breakfast nearby, so I stopped by afterwards with one friend to split to try this as both new to Jollibee. We ordered: - 1pc Chickenjoy + Spaghetti - Side of Coleslaw - Drinks I started by trying the spaghetti, which I didn't realize had hot dog slices and pork in general. I try to avoid pork, but nonetheless tried today. The sweetness is not my thing, though I've had Filipino spaghetti before (no hot dogs in the one a restaurant made). Perhaps if you like pork and sweet sauce made with banana ketchup, this is your acquired taste? As for the chicken, I took a small bite as I have just reintroduced some meat in to my diet. I liked the skin and it had a good flavor. The coleslaw pairs nicely with it, but about average in flavor for a coleslaw. Still on the search for one to rival the one Chic-fil-a had and discontinued. Overall though, the dining area was spacious and the service was very friendly. The food was prepared quickly and the staff kept the tables tidy as patrons left. Very impressed with the cleanliness. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try something different and if I returned, I'd try something different.

Came to this jollibee location like we usually do because its the only location in AZ. came in at 350pm. Mind you there werent anyone there but a couple thats eatting. My family and i thought we would get our food right away since its not that busy! BUT WRONG!! waited 30 plus mins. There were a bunch of workers in the kitchen walking around acting like theyre doing something but nothing!! Giggling and just talking, If i didnt go up in the counter and ask for my food, i dont think i wouldve gotten my orders. By this time around it is packed and alot of people are waiting. By the time i got my orders at 430pm the food was not good it tasted like it has been sitting for a long time!! Im so disappointed and pissed off we drove so far just to get this food and its soo disappointing!!! Not coming back in this location!! They need new management and they need to trained the workers better and have better sense of urgency. Its ridiculous!!!

Located in the heart of downtown Gilbert, I stopped by for dessert with my mom on a Saturday night around 8:30 p.m. At that time, there was a line close to 30 people or so deep. Ambiance (4/5): Located next to a BBQ joint (which is owned by the same people), this little store has a window for takeout where you place your order, pay, and get your food. With that being said, there's plenty of room to linger in the spacious outdoor patio behind Topo. Including rocking chairs. And there are also some benches right next to Topo. Above Topo is a large beaver that's part of the building. It definitely stands out with some pretty cool architecture! Service (3/5): Since you order and pay at the counter, service isn't a big part of the experience. But the line sure is! It goes fast, but it still took 20 minutes or so to get an ice cream. Only one person works the counter which slows things down. With two or three people working cash registers, the line wouldn't exist. It's a good spot but there's some artificial hype here that could be avoided. Drinks (N/A): I didn't order any beverages but I was tempted to try their watermelon agua fresca. Food (5/5): Topo is known for their prickly pear soft serve ice cream. And outside of that, you don't have a lot of choices when it comes to ice cream. You can do vanilla, prickly pear, or combo in a cone or cup. You can also add a chocolate shell for $1 extra. And they also had a seasonal option with mango and tajin. If you're not looking for dessert, they have a limited selection of hot food too including elote, brisket elote, and burritos. Now let's get back to the ice cream. I went with the combo and the prickly pear and vanilla soft serve complemented each other so well. This was my first time trying prickly pear ice cream. Up until this point, the closest I got was prickly pear margaritas. They're most definitely an Arizona/New Mexico thing so I appreciated the novelty of it. While soft serve isn't my favorite type of ice cream, this is some darn good soft serve. Worth the wait.
