    Fries were hot crispy and well seasoned

    I love this place, its attached to Gamers Guild a great tcg card shop where I go to play tournaments and meet up with friends. The food is awesome, one of the best burgers ive had since moving to Arizona and their popcorn chicken is fire! Their sauces for dipping are excellent! The berry bbq sauce, fire potion sauce, avocado ranch, and rosemary aioli are all 10/10! They have a great code menu so you can order right to your gaming table and they're fast and friendly with the service. They have a full restaurant seating area too. Lots of gluten free options as well! I'd definitely check them out everything was fantastic!

    pizza rolls  basil garlic aoli on the left. buffalo sauce on the right

    we stopped here on our way back from a resort. We shared the turkey club and pizza rolls. the turkey club was yummy. i loved the buffalo sauce and the basil garlic aoli was good except I didn't taste the garlic as much as the basil. lots of sauces to choose from. it's connected to a gamer place, so if you're a gamer than this place is probably for you.

    Charming Dinner and Movie! My daughters brought me to Forks and Boards for my birthday. 5 course dinner plus cocktails and mocktails. Spirited Away is my favorite Miyazaki Movie. Each drink and course was related to the movie. It was super cute. Some of the courses and drinks I liked better than others. Overall, it was a super fun event.

    $7.99 Biscuits and Gravy

    First timer. I ordered biscuits and gravy. Nothing to write home about. Also got a blue moon beermosa and that was alright. Ambiance with free board games is 10/10.

    Was on the bar side of this place, but definitely a different crowd than most bars in the area. They had sports on the TV sets and got a $5 PBR. The small $12 vegetable pizza had good crust, but really didn't have any taste and was lacking sauce. Was never offered grated cheese either. More of a geeks paradise.

    Gluten free buffalo chicken sandwich and side salad.

    What a great find for people with Celiac! Thank you so much. There are 2 portions to the place, a restaurant and a large game store and gathering place. The restaurant itself has board games and puzzles to play while you're eating. So many gluten free options and definitely celiac disease in mind. They clarify when you order too. It's the first time I've had a fried buffalo chicken sandwich since my diagnosis 22 years ago. Wow was it good! They have a dedicated fryer. If you're in the area, it's a must!

    Experience more like a 3.5/5 ! Came here for the 5- course dinner movie experience for "Ponyo" Here's what was included in this $85 course including 2 alcoholic drinks : Ponyos Tidal Treat: shortbread cracker infused with bacon and topped with red bean paste Sea cucumber salad : crisp, briny salad of cucumber, carrot, and daikon in sesame oil and chili flakes Seabed serenity broth: miso and lemongrass with silken tofu in a citrusy broth Depths of discovery stirfry : yakisoba noodles with pork veggies, sesame, soy and garlic Tides and embrace honey cake : honey cake topped with blue pea, flour, whipped cream Cocktails : Tsunami kiss : lychee ginger with vodka, lime, and fizzy splash Moons tide rising: blend of perlata, sweet vermouth , campari and translantic bitters Let me start off with the vibes of the place very spacious and clean I thought the service was quick and efficient. I did see some not the best service though from a certain bartender I won't name, She seemed just to be having a bad mood in general so I kind of felt like we were being a bother for just being there and she didn't like working later then she usually does so okay sorry for bothering you first time here thought it was cool haha , As we had gone an hour early to hang out in the bar area. But once we sat down, the servers were much more friendly and quick and efficient as well in the movie section it's not a closed off section so you can still hear the people playing games in the room connected, but they're not super loud and you don't really notice that it is in the open area and you can hear the movie fine. The speakers do sound a little bit shot out, though I'm really loud parts of the movie, now the food/drinks for me was like 50-50, good and bad one of the cocktails was all right. The other one was really undrinkable to the point that I noticed nobody else really drink the second one. The cracker they give in the beginning was pretty good not the combination I expected, but it worked well. The cucumber salad definitely could've definitely used way more sauce. There was just like barely anything on it and we were just tasting basically raw carrots and cucumbers that weren't the freshest, the broth soup wasn't very lemongrass. You could barely taste it. It was more of a miso soup if anything and the type of tofu they decided to use I probably wouldn't have done not fresh but the dried out kind that you rehydrate , They just taste very good. The yakisoba was pretty OK though I think that was probably the star of all of the food. Didn't have much seasoning, and not much in it just the noodles three huge pork pieces and small tiny pieces of cabbage but they gave you a lot of pork in it and then the dessert at the end was really freaking good actually I have to say it was probably the best thing there two of the items, though we had to wait seven minutes after most people had already been served it so they didn't really accurately time it with everybody else as the last item which was the dessert we got literally two minutes before the movie ended compared to other people who had it 15 minutes before, so you know that could definitely be fixed. The timing , but I don't think what we got was worth the price for sure as a lot of of the things that they gave us for items that can be made cheaply coming from somebody who used to be a chef but I think the price would be worth it if you just pay attention to what they're serving as we saw a sneak peek of the menu for the Lord of the rings movie they are playing next, and I thought that menu was more worth the price than this one. I will definitely come back for another one and maybe even update this review if they do change anything that I had noted today overall Greta experience

    Movie and a meal is just a fantastic experience! New themed menu AND DRINKS each time!!!
    Lynde H.

    Love, love,love this place!!!! ALL the food, the drinks (full bar), coffee drinks, desserts, gelatos - All of it is amazing!!! Especially their themed meals - Outstanding! And I can be quite the foodie snob... Everyone that works here is simply delightful!!! Honestly, they are all so inclusive, caring and aware of special dietary needs! Especially for Gluten free/ Gluten allergies- It's simply fantastic to be able to order anything from their entire menu (except 2 or 3 WELL-MARKED items) with no fear of cross contamination these things matter so much! The entertainment is abundant- there's a variety of games to play at the tables and is highly impressive selection, not to mention they are ATTACHED to a full gaming guild. I simply cannot put into words how good the whole experience is. I get in there atleast twice a month, and more often for the special events ...

    Went here for a Friday evening dinner. The interior looks very classy in the pictures, but not exactly how it is in real life. However, this restaurant is huge with plenty of seating. Maybe the biggest restaurant I would have ever been to in the Phoenix area. Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: The food is great overall. It's not the best ever but there is no complaint that I can do about the things we bought. Fried mushroom squeezes water but that is true with any place. Service: The server was nice to us and overall the order came very quickly too. The server came to check in as well. Pleasant experience overall. Ambiance: Not the ambiance that will impress you but it is not disappointing as well. Decent class. Hygiene: Everything was clean and tidy in our dining experience and stay there for 2 hours. Price: Everything was priced fine. I would not go here every day but won't have a complaint to not return if someone asked to join. Yelp check has an offer of free gelato but they got the smallest scoop possible in a disposable cup and that wasn't the best honoring of the offer that the merchant made. I doubt it would be served the same way if you order it by paying.

    Forks and Boards is a restaurant and bar at 19th ave and Bell and is attached to one of the largest gaming stores, Gamer's Guild. Grab a table and then grab a game to play from the free game library next door. The brunch menu includes pancakes, french toasts, benedicts, a waffle sandwich, and chilaquiles. The main menu for lunch and dinner offers fries with topping options (we enjoyed the bacon and cheese), onion rings, pizzas (in different sizes from personal to shareable), salads, sandwiches, burgers, chicken and even salmon. They even have a couple of fun desserts, like worms in dirt, including many gelato flavors. They've also got a full bar serving cocktails and mocktails. This is a very inclusive space with menus in multiple languages, Braille, and even audio transcript. Their menu features gluten-free and Halal options. Check out their special events like trivia nights, food classes, and dinner and a movie specials. My daughter and I walked in late at night after finding this restaurant on the Marriott Eat Around Town App. We were blown away with the cool setup of the store and restaurant and also how friendly everyone was. Our server, Autumn, sat across from us at our table and made my 7 year old feel so special and excited. Autumn talked us through the menu, high-fived my daughter for her choices, and regularly stopped by to chat. My daughter loved her and is so excited to return again with friends.

    The service was so slow. We were sat immediately and waited 10 minutes to be greeted at the table then waited an unnecessary amount of time to even get water and then after another 10 minutes we finally had a server who apologized and said there was confusion about who was in charge of that table. This was supposed to be a celebration for my sons graduation. The food was not very good. Dry, unflavored, and the pizza was weird. We won't go again. It was not busy, I am assuming just a staffing problem for servers and cooks. Hope they turn it around!

    Had a fantastic Wednesday night, and a big reason was our server Max. From the moment we sat down,…read moreMax was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. The recommendations were spot on, exactly the kind of insider knowledge that makes you feel like you're in good hands. Never had to wait for anything, and Max had a way of checking in at just the right moments without being intrusive. One of those servers who reminds you why going out is so much more than just drink. Will absolutely be back!

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!
