Inside

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.

Seating

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!

Outlaw sandwich
Vlad V.

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.

Great time and amazing drinks from Dexter!! Make sure to ask for him! So grateful for his time!! Amazing bartender/mixologist!

Grilled Cheese with Tomato Bisque
Steve O.

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

Smoked Brisket Taco
J E.

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!

Kenya H.

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.

Let's go, Yankees!!! Happy hour daily from 3 to 6.
Kim H.

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.

Burger
Cam C.

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!

Habanero margarita (can't recall the name) fantastic with grilled pineapple
Jacqueline M.

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!

Bacon Wrapped Dates - Dust Cutter - Phoenix, Arizona
Krista M.

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!

Old Fashioned with Uncle Nearest
Joe S.

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.

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.

We recently visited First Watch in Phoenix and had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Arely,…read morewas attentive, friendly, and absolutely fabulous. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston…read more This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

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.

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.
