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!

Their patio area is huge and well shaded. They had an ample amount of parking for downtown. The customer service was outstanding for a restaurant where you order at the counter. I loved their rotating drink menu in addition to their regular drink menu. I got the waffle, bacon, and the strawberry matcha special. The waffle was delicious and well presented on the plate. I loved the The bacon was tasty. The matcha drink was also great. The blue corn waffle was well made and a large portion.i loved the honey butter with Chile. It was a sweet and savory dish. The service was fast and they did not rush customers despite the line. The music was good but not overly loud. I look forward to my next visit.

Sophia's is absolutely worth the visit, but here's one piece of advice: arrive early! This place is…read moreincredibly popular, and if you show up later in the day, be prepared to stand in a long line under the blazing Arizona sun. The wait is worth it, though. If you're ordering, do yourself a favor and choose anything that includes the stuffed milk bread. It's soft, pillowy, and the perfect complement to the rest of the menu, making every bite even more memorable. Plan ahead, beat the crowds, and you'll be rewarded with a fantastic meal without the extra time in the heat. Sophia's has earned its popularity for a reason--I just recommend getting there early so you can spend more time enjoying the food than waiting for it!

He has an incredible palate and made some fantastic recommendations that truly elevated our meal. His knowledge, attentiveness, and warm hospitality made us feel so welcome.

(Note: The signage is a bit small across from The Global Ambassador, but garage parking is easy). The decor is cool--loved the retro Japanese pinball machines. The Japanese French Toast was fantastic, and the complimentary Ube dessert for the birthday girl was a super nice touch! On the flip side, the Pyro Benedict missed the mark--the shredded short ribs were very dry. The Green Tea Milk Punch ($12) looked good, but lacked flavor and wasn't worth it for my friends. Watch out for fees: They auto-added a 1.5% credit card surcharge without informing us upfront. It's frustrating for a larger, modern venue to pass off merchant fees like that. Check your bill carefully!

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.
