My friend ordered a burrito and I wanted some lite, I picked the mini seafood tower, with all sauces and avocado on the side. Server brought out complementary seafood tostadas.

Insert the most fire drinks we've scene in a while and they all can be made NonAlcoholic! Needless to say we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into and we were glad cus the prices were high but the drinks were large and delicious! All of my three daughters and my wife felt so cool with their drinks and loved every sip. Our friends said their food was good and one of which got the coolest pineapple drinks we'd ever scene! Along with amazing chips and salsa we are very excited to come back and get some food as this is a stellar top notch seafood place with amazing drinks people and an all around experience

Arizona Wilderness Brewery is hands down the best brewery in my neighborhood and my go-to spot when…read moreI want incredible food, outstanding craft beer, and a fun atmosphere. If it's your first visit, the AZ Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich is an absolute must. It's perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor in every bite. One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

Came back after seeing the soft serve margaritas on all socials--on Mondays they have half off…read morecocktails all day. Made the long drive from Gilbert to see what the hype was about and let me say....that soft serve was WORTH IT! I got the swirl and it was soooooo refreshing and delicious. I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

Swung by on a Wednesday morning around 11am and it was consistently busy! Good sign obviously. Cute…read moreplace with retro-ish vibe. Limited seating inside, but plenty of additional seating outside if you're willing to fight the AZ heat. They do have evap coolers running to help though. Quickly glanced over the menu while in line and settled on the French toast, egg sandwich, and the quiche. My stand out favorites were the French toast and the quiche. Undeniably delicious! The tater tots that came with the egg sandwich were as close to crispy perfection as you can get in my opinion. We gobbled them up way too quickly. Outstanding food and service! Couple of influencers were there filming and interviewing staff as well. Noticed that staff were so accommodating to them. Much respect to this establishment.

I was hesitant to make this my first meal upon landing in Phoenix. Many reviewers mentioned how…read morepacked this place can get but since I was landing hella early I figure we could beat the crowd. We got lucky, line was short when I arrived. This place operates like Urth Caffé in L.A. Order at the counter, then you will be given a number stand, one of the staff members will seat you. You cannot have one of your party go grab a table. I asked to be seated outside. Even with the 105 heat, there are these strong fans with mist. You will not sweat. Here is what we ordered: - The Valley Latte - Strawberry Fields Matcha (don't know what they do to this Matcha drink, but it was insanely good. It tastes so different from all the other strawberry matchas I've ever had. Call me crazy but it kind of reminds me of tofu but in a good way). Lol. - French Toast (I felt so guilty but it was worth every bite. Inside is filled with Dulce Le Leche. Need I say more?). - Breakfast Fried Rice (love the avocado and fried egg. Warning, it has quite a kick to it). I am so coming back again the next time I visit my son. Parking is nuts, good luck. Entire staff is incredibly friendly! Opened since December 2025.

Food: Japanese brunch is pretty rare, so we were excited to try this place! We ordered the Japanese…read moreToast, and it was delicious. We also tried the Sashimi Don, if I remember the name correctly, and that was really good too. Atmosphere: The decor is not the stereotypical Japanese style you might expect. It feels very modern while still incorporating lots of Japanese elements. Even the restroom is beautifully designed. One thing that really stood out to me was that each stall had an audiobook playing inside. Such an interesting and memorable touch. There is no street parking nearby, so you'll need to park in the garage next door. They do validate parking.

Wow...where do I begin…read more Came here for my sister in laws birthday and none of us have been here before--we all loved everything we ordered. Food: We loved the steak tartar--highly recommend! We also loved the short rib skewers--no business being that good. We did order the gyoza...they were good but did not compare with the other starters. I ordered the miso salmon. It was perfectly cooked. Slightly salty but good. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak and everyone at the table got a piece and were in love. That steak was heavenly. My sister in law and friend both ordered the filet mignon and both really enjoyed their steaks. For sides we ordered the potatoes and Brussels and I highly recommend you order those for your sides if you go. The potatoes are ridiculously good. We ended on some desert, although I was too full, my husband got the chocolate cheesecake and my SIL got the sticky cake. Her sticky cake was recommended by our waiter and it was the better dessert choice. Cocktails were good. The ambiance was amazing. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

The decor is super adorable, but honestly, the food is what really stood out. We ordered the Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and combination fried rice, and everything was so good. The Pad Thai had amazing flavor. We got everything at a medium spice level, which was perfect for me. I also loved that they let you choose from mild all the way up to extra Thai hot...my fiancé loves super spicy food, so that was a big plus since not every place offers that. We ate everything between the two of us. That's how good it was. The service was also great. He kept checking in on us without being over the top, which I appreciated.
