    A la carte and veggie omelette with potatoes
    Doris J.

    Yes this place was a jam! My husband and I walked over from our hotel to grab breakfast. We had plenty of a la carte options like eggs, bacon, ham, as well as a veggie omelette! The hot sauce was great! Service was wonderful and it was a cool, hip and casual breakfast joint!

    Breakfast Sandwich with side of potatoes

    I've been a fan of this place for a while, but I've always just did delivery from this location. Well, I finally had the opportunity to actually dine in, and it was a very enjoyable experience! The atmosphere is bright and energetic, making it a great spot to start the day. The highlight of my meal was definitely the Chocolate Chip Scone. It was so mouthwatering, perfectly baked and just the right amount of sweetness. It's easily one of my favorite things on the menu now. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. If you've only ever done carry out here, I definitely recommend taking a seat and enjoying the vibe of the restaurant itself. A solid four stars for a great local breakfast and brunch spot!

    The few times I've been here, the food is so good, that's why they're getting 3 stars! The food usually takes a long time to arrive to our table, but the ability to walk up and order from the front is nice. It feels a bit expensive for what it is but it's close to my office and easy to get to. I only really come here because of some nearby work partners, will probably continue to be this way.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon and luckily was able to get a table for 9 set up with the help from a friendly staff member. You order at the counter and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the Denver entree, which I didn't realize they deconstructed on the plate. Many of our group ordered drinks and half of them came after everyone finished eating. One of my friends noticed that the drink was sitting at the counter for some time and had to pick it up herself instead of a food runner bringing it to our table. Another staff member ran out food to our table and told my friend that "the lady at the counter who took your order should've told you that the tortilla is an additional charge," when my friend told the food runner that he was the one who took her order. It was very off putting and the attitude the staff had was not appreciated. The food overall was small portions across the board, and the prices were didn't justify the service.

    Explored Tempe and came across this restaurant. The food was a little bland but the service was fast. Located in a central spot close to the university. Prices were decent.

    Decided to try this place out for breakfast. Located right off Mill Ave. it's super easy to access. There was a nice amount of people inside from dining to those in line to place their order. The line went pretty fast once I was in it. I'm not a waffle lover but I love red velvet treats so I ordered the red velvet waffles with chicken. The waffles came with butter on top, a ramekan of cream cheese icing and another with maple syrup. I preferred the cream cheese icing instead of the syrup. There was also a honey hot sauce on the side fot the crispy fried chicken. I enjoyed that The waffle was thick and good for the most part.

    Small, cute little restaurant. Right off of the light rail and Mill Ave. They have great breakfast choices. They have a really chil vibe. The wait staff are nice and courteous. We have eaten there several times now and love it. They have a nice patio. The food is a step above the typical restaurant and they have good prices. They have a bar as well which is interesting for a breakfast, brunch place.

    stopped by Daily Jam in Tempe this morning and it was a great little breakfast spot! I ordered a small vanilla latte and a BLT -- both hit the spot. The vanilla latte was smooth, not too sweet, and had a nice balance of espresso and flavor. I appreciated that it wasn't overly sugary like some places tend to make it. The BLT was solid -- crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, and the bread was toasted just right. Simple, but really satisfying. The staff was friendly and service was quick, even with a bit of a morning rush. Overall, a nice spot for a casual breakfast or brunch if you're in the area. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    The General Manager here is absolutely CRUSHING IT. I was one of the few one-off guests where the experience fell through the cracks. I spoke up about some of the opportunities I experienced- and Mr. Jones was IMMEDIATELY struck with shock. His concern for my experience was so wholesome. This is what it means to care about your restaurant. This Gentleman took care of us with no hesitation. MIND YOU- there are events going on and the restaurant is overflowing with guests!! Surprisingly enough, the service was extremely swift. The opportunities missed were so important to him, he was extremely grateful I pointed the nuances out. Now beyond the way this store is being run as far as CR, the FOOD IS AMAZINGGG OMG. You will not be disappointed here!!! Food comes out so fast yet so fresh and so hot!! We're talking MAYBE 15 minutes after swiping my card!! The smiles on the crew, the laughs behind the bar, the GM table touching with a smile. Do yourself a favor and stop in for the one time- it looks busy but I swear it's so much faster than you'd think!! And worth it even if it is!!!

    We were ust walking around Tempe hungry, and we stopped in for breakfast. I've always seen this spot and I love the location. The decor inside is vibrant and fun with lots of windows and natural light. The patio is enjoyable because I love the streets of tempe and just watching people walking all around. The food was fine. My "original avocado toast" was tasty and light for ciabatta bread. The full regular breakfast was also simple yet large. I can see why the pigeons hang around... there's so much food leftover

    Walk in dining was fast, order at the cashier and seat yourself! Chipotle egg burrito was delicious with or without the salsa. Ultimate BLT with egg salad was yummy especially with the avocado and egg salad flavors combining.

    You go in and order then find your own seat. It wasn't bad because we were able to find seats. The place was pretty Indy for a Saturday midday brunch. Especially since they also had the Iron Man race going on in Tempe. The service was nice. People constantly walking around to pick up extra plates etc. it was beautiful weather and we sat outside. There were LOTS of pigeons around. Swarming the area and pick up scraps from the floor. The food was good and although busy didn't take long.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

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.

Spoke to another young lady Tamara with a question about the drink another table had an Calvin made sure my water stayed full. Great team!

    Snakes & Lattes is a fun spot in downtown Tempe to grab food, drinks, and hang out with friends…read moreover board games. The space is huge with plenty of tables, booths, and bar seating, plus they have a dog-friendly patio, although it didn't seem to be open during our visit. One thing to note is that ordering is done entirely through QR code, so interaction with staff is pretty minimal. Service was still smooth, but it definitely has more of a self-service feel. Their board game collection is massive and there's a $6 per person fee if you want to play. We ended up skipping the games this time and just came for food and drinks. Food-wise, everything was solid. I had the Spellbinder Hazy IPA along with the patty melt and sweet potato fries (a $3 upcharge). The patty melt was excellent and easily the highlight of my meal. The fries were decent, though I wish they had been a little crispier. My wife had the 12 West Super Beaker Tropical IPA and the carnitas bowl. We also shared the fried pickle chips. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since all the nearby downtown Tempe garages are paid parking, but there are at least several options within walking distance. There's even a small paid lot right behind the restaurant. Overall, a really cool concept with good food, drinks, and an impressive game selection.

We actually booked it on a whim that same afternoon while looking for somewhere with reservations. I didn't realize at first that it was the striking A-frame building we've driven past several times and always wondered about. Once we pulled in, everything clicked--and what a beautiful place. The architecture is stunning, the setting feels tucked away and peaceful, and parking was easy with plenty of space available. We were seated immediately at a corner table surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, which made the entire experience feel bright and inviting. One detail that really stood out to me was the quality of the restaurant itself. Even the tables were heavy, solid, and beautifully made. It sounds like a small thing, but those thoughtful details made the space feel intentional and elevated. The food was absolutely to die for. Every dish at the table impressed us, the cocktails were excellent, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared without being pretentious. It struck that perfect balance of upscale while still feeling warm and comfortable. From the beautiful architecture to the incredible food and welcoming atmosphere, Oliver's completely exceeded our expectations. We'll absolutely be back, and next time it won't be on a whim--it'll be a destination.

    My Yelp bestie Ariana and I recently had dinner at Top of the Rock at the Marriott Phoenix Resort…read moreTempe at The Buttes. The biggest draw is definitely the view. We arrived in time for sunset, and it did not disappoint. Watching the sunset over the Phoenix skyline made for a beautiful evening, and the restaurant itself has a unique atmosphere. We had a 7:30 reservation and were checked in right on time, we were seated outside, but there was very little shade, and unfortunately it was a hot, humid, and windy evening, so it wasn't the most comfortable dining experience. Our server, Sergio, was friendly, but we had to ask several times for water refills. One of the highlights before the meal was the complimentary bread service. The bread and butter were delicious, and the staff member who brought it out took the time to explain each item on the board which was a nice touch. The food was good. The 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was the highlight of the meal, tender, flavorful, and worth ordering. We had enjoyed the desserts. The chocolate mousse was rich and creamy, and the Pavlova was light, fresh, and beautifully presented with berries. That said, the outdoor seating wasn't quite as relaxing as we expected. It was pretty windy the evening we visited, which made dining outside a little uncomfortable. The resort Pool is directly below the patio, and there happened to be a party going on, so there was quite a bit of noise. The restaurant also overlooks the freeway. Traffic wasn't heavy during our visit, but I imagine the road noise and air quality could be more noticeable during busier times. Overall, if you are looking for a scenic dinner with a memorable sunset, top of the rock is worth visiting. Just be prepared for the weather if you sit outside and know that the ambiance can depend on what's happening around the resort. The steak alone is reason enough to come back.
