Buck & Rider in Gilbert just earned a spot in our top five restaurants…read more We booked brunch here on a whim while our guests were in town, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. As parents, one of the first things we notice is the kids' menu--and Buck & Rider absolutely nailed it. Instead of the typical two or three afterthought options, they had an impressive selection of thoughtfully curated meals. Our kids ordered the chicken and rice, and we were blown away by the portion and presentation. It came with chicken, rice, a generous serving of fries, dipping sauce, and fresh grapes. It felt like they actually cared about creating a meal kids would enjoy instead of just checking a box. The food for the adults was just as impressive. The sushi was fantastic, and we ordered one of the large raw bar oyster platters that was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. Everything we tried was outstanding. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and family-friendly, which is surprisingly hard to find. Our kids had an amazing time, our guests loved it, and we never felt out of place dining as a family. We'll absolutely be back--and next time, it'll probably be for a date night. Buck & Rider exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't recommend it enough.

We started with a half dozen oysters which were super plump and very good. I got the Salmon En Nogada which is a traditional Mexican dish, and our food runner (may have been the manager?) gave us some background on this dish that was really neat to know- it's traditionally made with beef and to celebrate Mexicos independence with the colors of the dish (red, green) and OH MY GOSH talk about flavor. Hands down one of the best salmon dishes I've ever had. My husband had the ribeye aguachile and that was incredible too. We finished off our meal with the tres leches cheesecake which doesn't need much explaining- so good. We will definitely be coming back to enjoy again!

From the moment we sat down, staff was very attentive, helpful with menu recommendations, and very knowledgeable about all of the options on the menu. I started with an order of their garlic chili edamame, which really hit the spot, though it was spicier than expected. I then ordered their citrus roll, which came recommended by our waiter. The role was fresh, delicious, and refreshing. A perfect recommendation! Overall, a fantastic experience, and one that ensured I will be back for more occasions in the future.

Love this place and their Chandler location as well. Great…read moreSushi and delicious Japanese dishes that taste amazingly fresh and flavorful. The service is great with multiple leather apron clad waiters and waitresses taking care of every dining needs. Water glasses always refilled, food served promptly and dishes cleared as soon as needed. The atmosphere is that of a Japanese restaurant and having visited Japan I actually appreciate the brightly lit dining room and the ambiance.

What a night, reservations for 4 at 6:45 and wasn't sat…read moreuntil after 7pm which wasn't a big deal for us. We've been long time Firebirds customers. Use to visit the Chandler location weekly 12-14 years ago.. even told our kiddos that tonight when we brought them here. Problems started as soon as we got our food. All the food came out besides our son's children's steak, was told they had to cook another one. As we were waiting for his steak, my husband noticed his steak wasn't a ribeye like he ordered. He suspected it was a NY Strip Steak. About 7 minutes goes by and manger brings our sons steak. My husband asked the manager if his steak looked like a NY strip to him and manager replied "yes, I think we have the best NY Strip" and my husband nicely replied, I didn't order a Strip, I ordered a Ribeye and told the manager it was fine, he would eat it still and still tasted good but didn't want to be changed for a Ribeye since he got the strip wrong. ($12 difference) I got the firebirds bacon chicken pasta with steak instead of chicken and no tomatoes and green onions. Well.. there was def tomatoes and onions and no bacon. And I was changed $30 for pasta and steak.. that wasn't even made the way I asked. Well my son's (late) steak was suppose to be medium and it was rare. By the time the server came back my son was eating some of my husbands steak and my pasta so we just asked the server to take his meal off the check because it was late and cooked wrong. She said it was absolutely cooked wrong and insisted to bring him a new steak as well as take it off the check. She even asked him to put his steak on a plate and "she'd throw it away and they'll make him a new children steak." Well manager comes back and tell my husband that his steak was in fact a ribeye (it was def not a ribeye.. no marbling whatsoever) and dropped off our sons steak.... It literally was the pieces we had cut up that they just threw back on the grill. Even pieces our son chewed and spit out when it was rare and too chewy for him. Like GROSS!!! They did take the children's steak off the check and gave us a free dessert( which we didn't even want, we would have rather paid the correct amount for my husbands steak...) The waitress was fine, none of this was her fault because she read us back what we ordered and had it all correct.. but she fell short as to getting us refills (never even offered a 2nd round of wine or beer) and when it was time for the check we gave 2 gift cards $50 each and our card to pay. She brought back our copy to sign and she only took off 1 $50 gift card. We had to call her over and she realized she didn't use both giftcards and had to void our card and redo it. The managers were busy the whole night talking to upset tables. This location really needs to get their stuff together. Again, nice to offer dessert but truly all we wanted was to get what we paid for and how we asked for it and tonight wasn't it. Literally felt like we were scammed outta $160. we will be taking our $$ elsewhere.

This was our first time for us at Bourbon & Bones so hoping for a good experience, we didn't wait long to be seated and immediately our drink order was taken . It wasn't long and our dinner order was taken. We ordered several items and decided to share each so we could try a little of everything, our choices were perfect and everything was good. We all had a good time and would say the staff was very helpful and friendly with any questions we had, the Ambiance was very nice, the decor was nicely done as well, I will put this as one of my top 3 to go to for a nice evening out. Thanks Bourbon & Bones for a good evening out with friends.

Disappointing Anniversary Dinner - Expected More for the Price…read more My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here after getting recommendations from friends who spoke highly of the place. Since we're in the Gilbert area, we loved the idea of a great steakhouse without the drive to Scottsdale. We went in with high expectations -- we're no strangers to special occasion dining, so we knew what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. The ambience and service felt more like a polished chain restaurant than the upscale dining experience the prices suggest. For a $300-$400 dinner for two, you expect a certain level of attentiveness and flow -- and we just didn't get it. After our appetizers, we noticed we never received the pretzel bread everyone raves about. When I asked our waiter, he said they had just finished baking a fresh batch. When it arrived, it was cold -- so that clearly wasn't the case. We also had to flag our waiter down to take our entrée order, which shouldn't happen at this price point. My steak was fine -- just fine. My wife's fish was the same. Nothing memorable, nothing that made us feel like the bill was justified. By the end of the meal we were both ready to leave. Our waiter did offer a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice gesture, but we were already checked out mentally and chose to go somewhere else to finish the evening on a better note. If you're in the East Valley looking for a truly special dinner, I'd honestly just make the drive to Mastro's Oceans Club or Steak 44.

A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.
