Gangster Fries
Brian L.

We stopped by while in Tempe and had the popcorn culiflower,Chedder Bacon Burger, Gangster fries, gyro burger. All we extremely delicious and cooked to perfection. We ended with the Oreo church and funnel cake fries. Wow! I never knew a burger could taste so good! The ambiance was very chill and relaxed. The service was great all staff was very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely return.

We were in the area for a concert, and wanted to find a new place to eat! Saw this on Google and we decided to try it out, we got a parking right when we pulled up on a Sunday evening. I could honestly see that it could be difficult to find a parking on weekdays at lunch time! Walked in not knowing what to expect, the young gentlemen who came out was very kind and helpful, knowledgeable the food. We asked what the most popular meal was and he suggested the spicy gangster cheeses burger and fries. The place is cool when you walk in and see the Godfather picture with all the other burger places bowing down to him! I will say The taste was there, food was good burger was tasty for sure! But the "Godfather" would not eat here! The ambiance and presentation were not quite there for us. Honestly I felt out of place after we ordered and turned he corner, there were hardly no tables to open and the people sitting in the tables with the pull out chairs were blocking the booths to sit in, they were watching a basketball game that was literally from 2017!! I think it was a group of the employees or their friends maybe, that's just how it seemed to us. That was a little disappointing. I honestly would not make the drive to go here again.

Plenty of tables.

Ordered the Popcorn Cauliflower, Honey Hot Chicken Sandwhich, and the American Burger. The service was very kind and let us know that ASU Students get 15% off. The food was 10/10! Highly recommend if you're in Downtown Phoenix! They have breakfast all day as well. We will definitely be returning!

Breakfast menu

Food was amazing! Super flavorful. Fries were a perfect crisp and paired nicely with their house aioli. I tried the Phx Burger- spicy bbq sauce, onion ring, caramelized onions, bacon with a 1/2lb patty. Every bite was bursting of different flavors and couldn't finish this beast. We also ordered the Pb&j burger , let's just say they finished their burger and portion of fries. I have enough for another meal. Service was great, shared recommendations and specials. We have been to the location as something else and they just opened as of July. Indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely will come back for more as they offer a variety of menu and a new go-to for a good burger.

Lunch on a Wednesday. Good location on Roosevelt Row. Parking can be tricky at times. Place is easy to find. Counter service - line up and order up. Menu covers sandwiches, burgers, and some other items. Opted for the Gyros Burger - way more than I could eat. I think burgers at half pounders so a good size burger to start with... Plenty of flavor from the beef and the gyro meat. Fries (separately ordered) are crinkle cut. Hot, slight saltiness, and crisp. Service was top notch - fast and friendly. The place is recently remodeled/renovated so it is relatively sleek and modern. Very clean on the inside. N*joy!

Came here for lunch and it smelled delicious so many options everything sounded so yummy. My friend and I got the jalapeño popper burger, which was so delicious. We also got some. I think they're a jalapeño fries or gangster fries. Those were probably one of my favorite side items. We also got their appetizer, which was some type of cauliflower. Sorry I don't remember the names which was delicious. Overall I really did enjoy the meals. Could not finish everything. We did take some home. But definitely left me full. The staff was very friendly. The seating was very cute and the back door. There's what looks like a macaw in the cage.

Love visiting Roosevelt Row when we visit and super excited to see a new restaurant in the area. We stopped in for lunch and ordered at the counter . We went with the hot honey chicken sandwich and upgraded to fries and a drink for $15 !!!! Cool spot , quick service and great food !!

First time visit, order at the counter, delivered to your table. The food is very tasty. Staff is friendly. Food came quickly and was very hot. Chicken bacon ranch sandwhich was a bit light on ranch and bacon. Hot honey chicken was drippin good with hot honey sauce. Regular fries were crinkle cut, so probably frozen. 15% discount for ASU students which was great as I was with my ASU Daughter. No complaints, solid food & service, would definitely recommend

This place is small but the food is good. We dropped in here when we when to the first Friday event. Small, cool little place.

Greek Salad
Shawn A.

Good Yelp recommendation. Landed in PHX and stopped in for lunch which was a great call. Our party of four got a couple of salads, Greek and a Spinach, and a couple of burgers. My sister got the Shroom Burger with the sweet potato fries and I got the Gyro Burger. She really enjoyed her burger and thought the fries were great. I thought the Gyro Burger was good. The gyro meat had great flavor. I forgot to give them the temp of the burger and they cooked it medium, my bad for not going medium rare. Other than it being cooked more than I wanted, the burger was good. The space has a great vibe and a super friendly, helpful staff.

This place was amazing, and the owner is so friendly and welcoming! I had the Tuna salad and my husband had a bacon cheeseburger. Both were beyond good. The salad was very fresh and crunchy with lots of tuna salad on top. My husband said the burger was big and delicious! We cant wait to come back when we're in the area. A definite 5 star place!

Shroom Burger
Amy C.

It's a working lunch today, so I ordered takeout. I know that's pretty risky business, but I really wanted to try the burgers because they looked amazing. I ordered the Shroom Burger (no onion) and it was amazingly delicious. Very savory and cooked to perfection. The cheese was melty and they don't scrimp on the ingredients. 10/10. Definitely going here again! Also people were nice, it was clean and they had my order ready when I arrived. I would suggest checking into their happy hour specials!

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.
