This is a chill spot. Nice vibe. The chicken wings were amazing. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Good for groups and singles a like. There is street and garage parking nearby.
We stayed at the hotel here and had dinner here almost every night. Service was great and food options were all delicious! The restaurant is clean and had a great comfy atmosphere. Highly recommend. We regret not trying this spot during breakfast or lunch. Drinks were really well made and delicious. Prices were not bad for the amount of food we got.
Celebrated a friend's bday in downtown PHX a few weeks back and decided we start at Dust Cutter. The service was excellent and I can't rave enough about all the comfy and cozy seating options inside, loved it! We got a few apps, but the chips and queso were the crowd fav by far. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd go back for sure, such a great spot!
After attending Urban Wine Walk, I was looking for a dinner spot before seeing Cirque du Soleil at PHX Arena. I hopped on the trusty Yelp app and found that Dust Cutter is close to the arena. I made my way over to this Western-themed bar and restaurant inside the Rennaisance Hotel for an early dinner on a Saturday. Service (3/5): I sat at the bar in hopes of quicker service as I was in a time crunch. The bartender was slow bringing me my menu so I took matters in my own hands and grabbed one from down the bar. Overall, the bartender was okay. I had to grab her attention to close out and she didn't check on me but once I got her attention, she took care of things. She also changed the TV channel on the TV closes to me so I could watch the Final Four game which I appreciated. Ambiance (4/5): Pretty cool hotel bar. Like most hotel bars, there's a good amount of seating at some bar and some tables that surround it with comfortable seating. They also have outlets underneath the bar which is a nice touch. Elegant with some Western flair. Drinks (4/5): Dust Cutter has a nice selection of craft cocktails so that's what I went with. I went with their namesake, the Dust Cutter cocktail which was an interesting concoction of flavors. Solid drink, can't complain. Food (4/5): For my dinner, i went with the Outlaw sandwich and I'm glad I did. Think of a hefty fried chicken patty with coleslaw and sauce stuck in between two large slices of Texas toast. It's a beast of a sandwich and one which was almost too big for me to bite. Eventually the sandwich fell apart and things started getting messy so I had to use a fork and knife. First world problems. That doesn't take away from the deliciousness of this sammy. The hot chicken sandwich was fried well and the coleslaw gave some nice crunch to the experience. The Texas toast was nicely buttered on the grill. I would return for this sandwich alone. If you're looking for some good drinks and better than expected food at a hotel bar, check out Dust Cutter. The aforementioned sandwich is a winner and it's one of the more affordable items on the menu. Win-win.
ask for dexter forsure! so accommodating my and friendly! the dust cutter is delicious and my dad raved about the old fashioned
Great presentation ..... delicious grilled cheese downed with Tomato Bisque. Service was very good ....... The Hummus/ veggie plate was very appealing as well but my coworker enjoyed that one ..... my only complaint would be the barstools need a higher back
Stopped in here after work one day for a drink with coworkers... The vibe is definitely lively and energetic! The menu looked good and the food coming out looked really good! I tried their Dust Cutter cocktail and it was pretty good. The décor is really nice, sort of a dessert theme. Definitely would come back!
Definitely a unique restaurant of the focus on a mix exotic cocktails, and pretty good food. The atmosphere is nice with an options to sit in indoors with an outdoor view.I tried several different cocktails out of my normal comfort zone, like the coffin varnish. Service was kind of spotty. I'm not sure if they were going through a shift change or what but it did take a while for the service to get going. But our server was good and professional and got things rolling. I ordered the burger which was excellent but the fries were freezing cold so I'm not sure if they were just done early and sitting or the heat lamp is broke in the kitchen but that's my only gripe for the night. Finished off with the cast iron buttermilk cake with peaches and vanilla ice cream, which was excellent as well. Overall, worth a stop if you're in Phoenix and staying at the Renaissance hotel, which it is attached too.
Andrew and Harrison are awesome bartenders! I went last night to watch the Yankees clinch the ALCS division. Happy hour daily from 3 to 6. $7 glasses of wine. 50% off select apps. I had the haboob fries with brisket, so damn good. Cool vibes for a hotel restaurant. Met some interesting characters while watching the game.
We checked into our room and wanted a bite to eat. We were tired from traveling and decided to use our credit at dust cutter. The vibe is very chill. It's dimly lit but they have a few tvs to watch. It gives an upscale cozy bar. They wait staff are all pretty nice. We both ordered the burger. I added bacon and avocado. The flavors were really good and meshed well. The only critique I had is the bread was a little too dry to me. Other than that it was great!
We LOVED this bar! The service, drinks and menu were fantastic. Everything we ordered was delicious. We also loved the live music and overall decor and vibe. We will be back because we want to try other items on the menu!
I stopped by Dust Cutter while in town last month for QuiltCon and joined my local quilt guild for a meet-up in the lobby of the Renaissance Hotel. The space had a fun, modern Western vibe which was of course perfect for a casual yet lively gathering. I ordered two mocktails from the bar, both of which were sweet, refreshing, and delicious. For a bite to eat, my friend and I went with the bacon-wrapped dates and they did not disappoint! Our server was attentive, making sure our group had everything we needed. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore more of the menu and soak in the atmosphere, but alas, there's always next time. I'll hopefully be back!
The staff here was pretty good with one of the managers and the waitress just rocking it. Super friendly and welcoming which I appreciated. The drinks were good. The old fashioned was made with Uncle Nearest 1856 (I think) and was one of the better ones I've had. I also had a gin and tonic (good), Moscow mule (meh), and prickly-pear margarita (flavorless) as part of my late afternoon activities. Some co-workers ordered food and enjoyed it all. They mostly ordered salads and I didn't partake, but they were big and fresh. I don't know if I would go out of my way to go here if I wasn't staying at the Renaissance hotel. But it does the job much better than most hotel bars.
At the Renaissance lobby - This place has some great food and drinks. Very large seating area with some comfy chairs and sofas. SERVICE: The servers here are pretty friendly and nice. They helped me quickly and got me my beverage fast! FOOD: I tried their steak and fries and it came out great!! Those fries were wonderful - try them with mayo! If you are staying at the Renaissance - This place is very good and very convenient. read more

Worse dining experience in awhile. The short rib empanadas were mushy, we took one bite each and that was enough. They took the plate without even asking, but that wasn't our server since she only came to the table once. The salmon looked good...and was flavorless. Let them know it was our anniversary and it was completely ignored. And the seats could not be more uncomfortable! My wife said the grits were good, so I'll give it a star for that. I probably should just skip hotel restaurants, they often are pretty bad. read more

Such a cool place! I didn't realize it was going to be in the lobby of the Renaissance hotel, but it had a nice vibe and a good happy hour. All draft beers are $6 during happy hour and select appetizers are half off. We got the street fries and bacon wrapped dates to start and both were amazing. I do wish that there were more dates than 5 in an order for what they charge, but they were scrumptious. We also got the duck duck goat enchiladas which were also very good, and my grilled cheese and tomato soup was quite nice too. The pesto in it was just all right. I feel like it was missing something though. Service was wonderful and fairly quick even with how busy it was. If I'm in the area, I'd probably stop by again. read more

After a long day at work I wanted to head down to the hotel restaurant for a hearty salad. I ordered the beet + feta salad with chicken (full not the side) to go. This salad is $17 and an additional $8 for chicken. I was incredibly disappointed to open this box with hardly any lettuce. The menu says kale and spinach-- I got a minimal amount of arugula and spinach instead. Chicken breast was given on the side. Paying almost $30 for a salad I expected more greens. The salad flavors and service at the bar were wonderful and but this portion is crazy to me. Had a coworker order a side salad with her meal which was much larger than mine. Might have been an honest mistake but meal was disappointing. Giving 2 stars solely for the service of the kind bartender. read more

A classic hotel bar, friendly bartender, beautiful decor, medium energy ambiance, and comfortable seats. I liked the drink menu with many creative, tasty options, including a mocktail. I had the Eastern Sunset, which was refreshing and light. I tried two appetizers, both of which were huge. Jalapeño fries with brisket on top were smothered in crema, cilantro sauce, cheese, pickled onions, and jalapeños. Yummy, no ketchup needed. The hummus plate was fabulous! Delicious, flavorful, creamy hummus topped with whole chickpeas and served with warm pita bread and veggies. I highly recommend both appetizers and the drink. read more

My waitress Jada was extremely welcoming and attentive. I asked for her recommendation and she was right on point recommending these wings and fries! Wings were large, crispy, and tasty! read more
Great bartender serving tasty specialty cocktails! The bar is casual and beautifully decorated as a modern urban saloon. Great place as a jump off, for dinner and drinks, before any sport events or concerts happening downtown. read more

Came in for lunch with some colleagues and who highly recommended it. Service was great, they were regulars. We were cutting it a bit close for time and the woman who waited on us "forgot" she hadn't taken our order yet. I ordered my bacon cheese burger, no veggies & no bun. Came with all the veggies & no bacon. The burger did taste good, but I thought it could use some salt. I will probably come back to try another day when no so pressed for time. I didn't even get to use my Yelp 10% off! That's definitely a reason to go back. read more
We've had Happy Hour there several times and the food has always been good. But this morning, we had breakfast there. And it was delicious. But one thing to keep in mind is that it is quite expensive. We had their version of an eggs benedict with smoked pork loin instead of Canadian bacon and the Saddle Mtn, a mix of griddled corn bread, chipotle hollandaise, over easy egg and turkey sausage. Both of our plates were excellent. The service was also outstanding. read more

Very mixed feelings about this place.. the food and drinks were amazing but the service and false advertising were not! Our server was only present at the time ordering, she was not around for refills, asking how things were or checkout! I had to walk to the bar to order my drink. We ended up having to ask for a manger to check us out because of how long it took for our server to come by. A huge let down! The manager was super sweet and apologetic and gave us a discount but we honestly just wanted to leave. Also, the menu says "Late night food & drinks 10pm-12am" but we were told the kitchen closes at 10:30pm. We overheard the bar back telling another customer they just tell people that so they don't order food. Super strange. We wanted their dessert but after all the chaos we chose to leave. We came here because we were starving after getting off work late, we definitely won't be back. read more
My friend and I came here on a Sunday night after a basketball game and it was packed. It's a great place to come with a group of friends but also on a date or just to hang out alone since there are many areas to sit. I had an espresso martini which was really good but the food was underwhelming. The fries were soggy and cold and the chicken sandwich was dry and not as flavorful. I would recommend coming here for drinks and small bites and the staff members here are so sweet!!! Food: 5/10 Drinks: 8.5/10 Service: 9/10 read more

Should actually burn and turn to dust! Terrible service. Terrible food. Save your taste buds & your money read more
Situated on the first floor of the beautiful The Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel. I recently attended a Yelp event, but I made my way to enjoy a cocktail as I was so curious to see the "My Darling Rhonda" in a full size beverage. This cocktail is not just pretty, but delicious. Love that it is a tribute to an employee, so cheers to Rhonda! Though she did not serve up this beverage, I had impeccable service and can confidently say you are in good hands when stopping in to wet your whistle. read more
Finally got a chance to stop by Dust Cutter and was really excited for it. I had tried a few bites at a food event they were at so I knew the food was already going to be great. The bacon wrapped dates are amazing and the chicken sandwich was so good. All the food we ordered came out delicious. The service was a little slow, which was unfortunate. It took awhile for anyone to even come up and greet us at the table. There was really long wait times to put in our drink and food orders too as our server would normally not come back for 15 minutes or more. We weren't in a rush so it wasn't a huge problem, the wait time is of course just not ideal. Parking here is really easy. I used the valet and they validate if you have a drink or food, which worked out great. read more

It's a nicely decorated place. Their kitchen was open late so we decided to get dinner. They had an acoustic band and football on TV's. We sat at the bar and the staff wasn't busy. After a long wait, we had to get their attention. Once we did, service was good. Food was good and portion was big. read more
I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time. While it's more of a bar type space, it doesn't make the food any less delicious!!! In fact, everything was soooo good!!! From appetizers of bacon wrapped dates (fabulous!!!!!) to hummus and vegetable trays, to salads, sandwiches, and full dinners, you cannot go wrong!! And every night they do a FREE drink special, so that's fun as well!! This is located inside the lobby at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel. Our waitress could have been a lot better, but didn't let that ruin our great meal!!! read more
We really enjoyed our evening at Dust Cutter Gastropub last evening. Our server, Savanah, was awesome and she is also a Yelper . I loved the explanation for the name printed in menu- Dust Cutter used to be a term used by cowboys who needed a drink to 'cut the dust' from riding all day. Loved the fireplace feature. Great Happy Hour until 6p. There was even a live performer playing guitar and singing. We had the Flatbread and Chicken Wings, which were both very good. If you are looking for a nice place for drinks and a light meal, try Dust Cutter out! read more
Great lounge to have a couple drinks at before an event in downtown. Bartenders were good and engaging, and the ambiance was decent. I ordered the lady cowboy drink and the bartender gave me a background story behind it. A bit sweet but the ginger cuts through the sweetness. read more
Post concert late night munchies accompanied by a bottle of Veuve on Saturday night were great - they elevated a grilled cheese and fries for my wife and loaded me up with those Haboob fries, which were awesome. The place was absolutely slammed yet our server was upbeat, super friendly and on point. Sunday lunch with the Sun Devils on Horseback & Sonoran Smoke Show Wings for me. The dates and the wings were awesome! In fact the wings far exceeded my expectations. They were huge, perfectly cooked and really good even without any dipping sauces. Our service on Sunday was quite good as well. Ambiance and decor in Dust Cutter is excellent, lots of TVs for sports watching, great cocktails & bar as well. Very good! read more
