Brian L.

Really enjoyed a number of factors about this place. Our server was incredible. We had some characters in our group and she kept them laughing and in check. Food and drinks were top notch with one of the best salads I've had. Only ding for me was a dirty table when they sat us down and the cushions were absolutely filthy.

Short rib pasta

All the food we ordered was delicious! We polished every plate. Only thing not pictured is the crispy Brussels sprouts which we demolished in seconds. Service was great and they took good care of us. The ambiance was nice and quaint. A little loud but not bad at all. Recommend. (My friends have gone 4 more times since I took them)

My friend and I had a quick lunch at the bar. We each ordered a Yes Way Rose, spilt the Caprese and the This Lil Figgy Flatbread. We forgot how good the Caprese was. It was a hot day so the cold tomatoes, pesto, and mozzarella were perfect. They only serve the Caprese with one piece of Forno bread so we had to ask for more. It's so good to dip into the pesto olive oil marinade the tomatoes come in. Another great lunch at Humble!

Chicken Enchiladas
Desiree F.

Grabbed a quick bite in between sips of wine during the Wilcox Wine Festival. Enjoyed some green chili chicken enchiladas and they hit the spot. I couldn't tell you how many I got since they were buried in lettuce. But they were tasty! The bar service was great and my food was out fairly quick.

I'm not going to be humble with this one: Humble Bistro is an excellent restaurant. I've visited twice: once was my second meal upon moving to Phoenix and the other was most recently on a Thursday evening for dinner. Located on High Street in Desert Ridge, you'll be able to find free parking in the various lots surrounding this district or the garage. Since I'm within walking distance, I've been on foot both times I've visited. Ambiance (4.5/5): Humble Bistro is a good looking restaurant. It achieves a nice balance of being trendy and nice while still feeling homey and comfortable. I sat at a half booth upon my most recent visit. There's also a small patio. It's a relatively small restaurant and was packed almost to the brim on a Thursday evening. It can get a little loud, but not overly burdensome. And the lights are dimmed down a bit which creates a nice ambiance. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress did a fantastic job taking care of us. She was friendly (a smile goes a long way), attentive, and efficient. Which is all you hope for, especially when a restaurant is busy while you're dining there. I was trying to decide between three options, and she gave me her recommendation. And she was on target with it. Drinks (N/A): I had an Arnold Palmer, so not much to write home about. With that being said, they have a full bar, including a wine list and cocktails. Food (4.5/5): I had the chicken parm which is served with linguine. This is a classic Italian dish that I've had countless times over the years. And this was the best one I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was fried just right. The breading, tomato sauce, and mozzarella sauce were perfect. It's a relatively simple dish, but Humble Bistro somehow does things better than anywhere I've tried. And it was a filling portion too. While the menu is Italian-centric, there are new American options too. It's an interesting menu with a lot of appetizing choices. For the quality of the food you're getting, Humble Bistro is moderately priced. Which makes it a big winner in my book. There are a lot of good dining options on High Street, Humble Bistro might just be my favorite.

Creme Brulee
Raquel A.

From the variety of seating options to the chandeliers to the copper ceiling, I really enjoyed the aesthetic of Humble Bistro. It gave me vibes of NYC, but I was told it was designed as a French Bistro. Whichever it was, it works! We were greeted as soon as we entered, and seated immediately as it wasn't too busy. (We usually eat early when we go out to avoid the crowds.) Our server, Alexis, was awesome! She was witty and charming, and chatted easily with every table. She's exactly the type of server every restaurant should have. We ordered the Forno Bread, Humble's answer to garlic bread - house made sourdough with garlic, cheese and olive oil, plus a kick of heat with calabrian flakes. Great flavor and plenty to share. The menu had so many delicious looking options. I decided on the Pasta Rosa and Meatballs - pappardelle pasta with 3 meatballs, whipped ricotta and fresh basil. Now I can be a bit picky about meatballs, but these were excellent. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the only thing I might have liked was a little more ricotta. (I'm a big fan of ricotta.) The portion size was perfect. So often it's a huge bowl of pasta and 2 measly meatballs, but this was an even ratio of pasta to meatballs and yet I still had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. Hubby had the Forno Short Rib, which is a 12hr braised short rib over Humble Fries. He loved it! The short rib was fork tender, and practically melted in my mouth (yes, I tried a little), and the fries are well cooked and full of flavor. Combined with the short rib - a flavor explosion! We also split a creme brulee for dessert. Delicious and a nice size for one, but as we were bordering on full from our meal, it was a perfect sharing size for us. We know we'll be back!

Cremini Sacchetti
Carter K.

Humble bistro is located on High St in Desert Ridge which is a really cool street with restaurants, bars, and shops. This is such a great location to grab dinner and drinks with some of friends which is what brought us here! The server was very friendly and helped walk us through the menu and explained each dish to us. Ultimately, we knew we wanted to try the pastas which sounded amazing to us. The Cremini Sacchetti was our favorite! I loved the truffle taste in the brown butter sauce, the truffles weren't overpowering and complimented the pasta perfectly. We also loved the Short Rib which was braised for 12 hours and falling apart. I would love to go back and try the bruschetta dishes that they are known for!

To die for not so humble brussels: $12
Susan K.

My second time here and it looks like they have a new addition to Humble Bistro which is called Humble Oysters and Bubble. Me and my coworker shared the appetizer meatballs , humble brussels, and gentlemen pizza. All were good except for the humble brussels, it tasted burnt so it had a bitter taste to it. But the meatballs were perfect seasoned and the pizza was full of different flavor profile from savory to sweet to a little spiciness to it.

Short rib grilled cheese
Cameo L.

Girls night and this place was very nice. They have a cozy indoor/outdoor area and the music is pretty loud so I would suggest sitting outside if you don't like loud music. The service was good and they answered all of our questions and made some good suggestions, like the humble Caesar. My only complaint is that I wished the wings were crispier. The skin was a little too soft for my liking. Would like to come back here for date night and trying their pasta and pies!

Short rib
Ben H.

Rule #1- always order the short rib. Ordered the short rib pasta dish at Humble Bistro. It was delicious. The atmosphere is nice, quiet off high street. I've been to Humble Pie before, I think Humble Bistro is better.

Cinnamon roll
Valerie G.

I went to brunch with my family and I want to start with the fact that the service was great. Every person we interacted was so nice and they were so attentive. The savory foods were delicious. For instance, the wings were so tender and crispy. I do wish they would've tossed the wings in the sauce but overall delicious. The Humble Hash was so well rounded, very flavorful and filling. Just needed some salt and hot sauce to perfect it. The sweet plates were not it. The waffle seemed to be crystallized which just made it overly sweet and the cream on it had a lot of orange zest which overpowered the whole thing. Sometimes there's good in simplicity and I look for simplicity when it comes to a waffle. Same thing with the cinnamon roll. Over sweet and too much orange zest.

$10 Froze
Dawn B.

Love love love all their food. Ingredients are fresh. They do a great job with their brussels sprouts, Caesar salad- my partner really enjoyed the Caesar dressing, and I switched it to their vinaigrette, sandwiches, pizza, hamburgers! It's pretty impressive when you can get all of that right! Their service- well... it's average at best (some visits have had terrible service to average service). The $10 froze is spectacular though so I still go back!

Sandra F.

Had a great evening at Humble Bistro! The food and service were outstanding. I had the lasagna, which was delicious- do not miss. The two sauces were amazing and it was so fresh. My husband had one of the pizzas, which he enjoyed. I would pass on the porno bread, which I thought was going to be crunchy crusty sour dough but was just flat bread. Next time I will get one of the salads because they looked so good at the table next to us. We also ordered a bottle of the Silk and Spice red blend wine based on another review (pretty good, next time I might try something else). FWIW, Wine bottles are 50% off if you take an unopened bottle to go. The atmosphere is bustling yet somehow intimate. We talked to the people sitting next to us but also felt alone. It is close quarters if it is something you care about. Our server (who was training another server) was great and offered a lot of great recommendations. I think we also saw the owner or manager who thanked us for coming. Love this spot. It's super busy so make sure you join their waitlist online before you go.

The first thing that stands out is the massive, beautifully maintained outdoor seating area. It's covered, pet-friendly, and thoughtfully designed with fireplaces and privacy walls that give each table a more intimate feel. There's even an outdoor bar where you can grab a drink while you wait or just enjoy the atmosphere. Inside, the décor is incredibly creative. Butcher knives and custom cutting boards line the walls, and the open kitchen showcases hanging meats so you can see everything in action. The bakery area adds another layer of charm, with rolling pins and whisks hanging from the ceiling, it all feels intentional and immersive without being over the top. The menu is just as fun and different as the space itself. I started with the Sicilian wedge and then had to go for what they're known for, the handcrafted meatballs. You can mix and match meatballs with different pastas, but the real showstopper is the "meatball carousel." It lets you sample multiple meatballs with their recommended sauces, all presented on an elaborate Ferris wheel-style display that turns heads across the restaurant. It's a full experience, not just a meal. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. What truly made the night, though, was our server, Mia. She struck that perfect balance of fun and professional, engaging, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with. She guided us through the menu, made great recommendations, and brought a level of energy that elevated the entire experience. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. For dessert, we went with the traditional Sicilian cannoli stuffed with Nutella and a lemon tart that was so good I'd honestly consider flying back just to have it again. This place delivers on every level, atmosphere, creativity, food, and service. I'll absolutely be making this a regular stop anytime I'm in Phoenix.

We asked if the fireplace could be turned off, and were told it was "just the pilot light" and that the heat was from outside air coming through. That explanation didn't really make sense, especially if it's an electric fireplace, and it left us wondering why the flue was open in the first place. Our server initially seemed a little annoyed when we brought it up, though he became friendlier as the evening went on. As for the food and drinks: the Gold Margarita tasted a bit cheap for the price. Once it arrived in the taller glass, it was clear the ratio leaned heavily toward mixer and sweetness rather than tequila, gran marnier, and fresh lime juice. It definitely didn't taste like fresh lime as advertised. On the other hand, my husband's espresso martini was absolutely fantastic. The standout dish was the filet special - rubbed in mustard and marinated for over 24 hours. It was excellent. The mashed potatoes were packed with flavor, and the jambalaya rice was tasty as well, though slightly cold. Dessert was an apple pie with the crust wrapped entirely around it, which we enjoyed. Overall, the meal itself had several highlights, but it was disappointing to make a reservation and end up at a table next to what felt like the entrance to Satan's lair.

Located in Desert Ridge Marketplace, I checked out The Whining Pig on a Saturday night. Since I…read morelive in the area, I walked over. There is ample parking if you're driving. This beer-focused bar isn't the easiest to find because it's underground down a stairwell. Look for the signage close to the stairwell. Ambiance (3.5/5): We sat at a booth at the bar. It's one of the few seats that have back support (which is important to me due to my old man back). Outside of that, it's all barstool seating with no back support inside. Outside, they have a small patio with chairs. That would be another option for me when the weather cooperates. The decor inside is your typical beer bar decor. Laid back. Comfortable. There's a jukebox. A cool place to grab some brews. Service (3.5/5): Two bartenders were working that evening and they were pretty solid. I did have to grab their attention a few times but no biggie. The Whining Pig has daily specials including a beer and grilled cheese combo on Wednesdays. I was curious on the price. They didn't know nor did they find out. That was a miss. Food (N/A): No food for me on this visit as I had dinner prior. They have a small menu, mostly made up of various grilled cheese sandwiches. They have a classic one, a pizza one, and a few others. I'm a dan of grilled cheese so I'll definitely try one out at some point. They also have charcuterie boards. Drinks (4.5/5): Now for the good stuff! Unlike most beer spots, they also have wine and several cocktails. But when in Rome, so I went with a beer flight. You can choose five beers of your choosing from a list of 40 beers or so. While they don't brew their own beer, they have an interesting selection of local craft beers and European ones. The types of beers you're not going to find at your neighborhood bar, including saisons and sours. The flight is served in a pig shape holder which was pretty funny. Flights are always my go-to when they're offered as they allow you to try out a nice variety. Added bonus: Walk down the hallway past the bathrooms and you'll run into Pigtails---a speakeasy owned by the same folks. That way, you can get both your brews and elevated cocktails fix in the same night.

The atmosphere was fun! Had a couple glasses of wine and went to listen to the live music outside…read more I love the decor in this bar with everything written in chalk on a chalkboard.
