I ordered the ham eggs Benedict while my company ordered the Eggs Any Style which included bacon, breakfast potatoes, and sourdough toast. We both enjoyed a Bloody Mary. The Benedict was lovely in presentation and taste but the portion was not enough to be filling. I would recommend adding a side of breakfast potatoes to round out the dish. My counterpart throughly enjoyed his meal with the note that the side breakfast potatoes were perhaps a little too crunchy. Overall, this place is a vibe and definitely a cool spot to bring someone visiting from out of town. Service was quick and friendly, they were serving a large conference of folks with no impact to service.

You order at the counter, and they do ask for a tip, but after the lack of service we received, I'd say it's best not to leave a tip in advanced since you don't know what service you will get. My personal opinion, bring cash if you want to tip. We received our food, and truly did not get checked on once. I had to get up to ask for a drink refill. Again, the restaurant was not busy and there was plenty of staff. The place itself is cool and I do plan to come back to give it another try. Hopefully it will be a better experience.

It was almost lunchtime according to our body clocks, but it was only about 10 a.m. here in Phoenix, so we were looking for a good breakfast spot. We had a plan until we drove past a restaurant called Breakfast Bitch. The name immediately caught my attention, and I said, "I want to go there!" So we found some street parking and headed inside. The first thing I noticed was all the fun decorations and the overall vibe. There are definitely some creative scenes and decor throughout the restaurant. That said, if you're offended by the B word, this is probably not the place for you because the name and theme are definitely part of the experience. There was about a 30-minute wait for a table, but they have a connected bar that is part of the restaurant, so we went over there and grabbed seats while we waited. It actually worked out well and gave us a more casual place to hang out. One thing that wasn't quite as great was that they didn't give us an actual menu. We had to scan a QR code to pull up the menu on our phones, and unfortunately, it took a really long time to load. The phone service in that area wasn't great, so it made trying to figure out what we wanted to order a little frustrating. I ordered the American, which was a flaky croissant with an egg, cheesy hash browns, and bacon. Croissants are my favorite, so I was already sold! I think it could have used a little sauce, but overall, it was really good. My daughter ordered the Frenchy, which was a croissant filled with chocolate chips, strawberries, a cream cheese layer, and strawberry jam. I had to steal a few bites, and it was delicious! She also ordered a side of bacon, which she really enjoyed, although it was definitely on the greasy side. Our friend ordered the breakfast burrito. She thought it was decent and said she could probably get something similar just about anywhere, so she wasn't quite as impressed as we were with our meals. But my daughter and I really enjoyed what we ordered. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the atmosphere. They had a live DJ playing music, and at one point, he announced someone's birthday and started playing a birthday song. The birthday girl actually got up and danced, and it was so much fun! The music was fantastic, and we found ourselves doing a little seat dancing while we ate. It was pretty loud, so it was sometimes difficult to hear each other, but we were sitting on the bar side, so that may have contributed to it. And the funniest part is that they close at 6 p.m., but the whole place had more of a nightclub vibe than a breakfast restaurant! Overall, Breakfast Bitch was definitely a fun and unexpected way to start our Phoenix trip. The menu situation and phone service were a little frustrating, and the service wasn't necessarily the strongest part of the experience, but the food, music, atmosphere, and laughs more than made up for it. Sometimes the restaurants you randomly stumble across end up being the most memorable, and this was definitely one of those places!

Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and respectful, and the service was one of the highlights. The food also came out surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. As for the food, it was good, but not particularly memorable. The pancakes were fluffy, the eggs were cooked to order, and the chicken apple sausage had a nice char and flavor. That said, nothing really stood out as something I'd go out of my way to come back for. The prices are a little on the high side, so I expected to be more impressed by the overall meal. In my humble opinion, Breakfast Bitch is worth checking out at least once if you're curious or want to experience the atmosphere. I just don't think it quite lives up to all the hype. There are several breakfast spots around the Valley that I'd personally choose before making a return visit.

The interior is light and festive. The service was friendly. We ate there twice and the food was good. I had the veggie omelette with cheddar instead of goat cheese and it was delicious. The hash browns had enough crispy elements to keep them interesting, albeit they were under seasoned. The sourdough toast was thick, and you get only one piece cut in half. They serve it with butter and jam on the side. The second time, I ordered two eggs over easy, hash browns, sourdough toast, and bacon. Again, it all was tasty. I did order a freshly squeezed OJ the second visit, and was fresh with a nice orange slice garnish. I would definitely eat there again if staying downtown. No clue why this place wasn't packed.

The brightly colored walls provide cheer to start your day. Service was subdued but friendly enough.

There is patio seating, and it would be a great patio to watch people on a day with cooler weather. The decor was nice--a colorful desert mural, a long bar, and interesting light fixtures that looked like black waffles. We skipped cocktails and just grabbed lunch - green chili and bacon mac and cheese and fish tacos. First of all, the portions were quite large. We expected three street tacos, but these were Big tacos. The mac and cheese was good, with a very nice cheese pull. But those tacos dash dash fantastic! I can't say enough about how good those tacos were. The house needs also was also very good. If you're downtown and I'm looking for a place to eat, this is a good choice. It's actually located in a hotel, although I couldn't tell you which hotel.

It was probably my first time being introduced to Irish pubs and the traditional dishes and drinks that they serve. Today, I was walking around near the ASU Downtown Campus and came across Seamus McCaffrey's. I gave it a try for lunch and enjoyed some tasty food and great service. While I didn't grab a drink, I'd certainly consider meeting friends after work there another time. I walked into the bar, and I was literally behind the bar where is was quite dark. Many of the bar seats were taken though I stepped into an area behind the bar where there were a number of open tables where I could seat myself. There was yet another room further back with booths and some creative decor, though I was happy with a table near the bar. The server came right over and made some great suggestions and introduced herself to me. She checked on me multiple times during the meal and made sure I liked what I picked. I ordered an item off the Traditional Favorites menu, the Chicken Pot Pie, which consisted of tender shredded chicken, peas and carrots smothered with herbs in a creamy white gravy under a flaky puff pastry. It also came up with a cheese stick. Both were tasty yet not too filling as I expected. There was a light breaded top to a bowl and then no bread on the bottoms or sides, but that was alright as I didn't need an over-the-top dish for lunch. While the prices are a bit higher than I would have expected them to be, it was certainly worth it, and I'll be back again. Seamus McCaffrey's opened in 1991 and brought a real Irish pub to Central Phoenix. It is a family-run bar that serves Irish classics and pub favorites. From Boxty, shepherd's pie, and fish and chips along with stacked sandwiches, burgers, and starters, the menu is not huge but still feels like it has a bit of everything. They have live music on the weekend and host special events throughout the year. The biggest celebration is its annual St. Patrick's Day street party on Monroe, a Downtown Phoenix tradition filled with great beer, great food, and a whole lot of green. Check out its website (https://seamusmccaffreys.com) to see its menu, upcoming events, photo gallery, and specials. The specials include daily specials, happy hour specials, and a $13 lunch menu. I look forward to returning again this summer!

The interior is cool, and the space is well organized -- both the dining room and what you can see of the stock area. The staff was friendly, too. My issue is with the food itself. It feels like there isn't much effort put into preparation. This is a heat-the-pre-packaged-ingredients-and-serve kind of place, and if that's the approach, the execution has to be sharp -- either done correctly or elevated in some way. Take the gyro platter. The meat is clearly pre-packaged, not made in house. The lettuce was wilted and wet, like it had been sitting for a while. The rice wasn't bad but definitely had reheated vibes. The pita was probably the only component that was presented well. I also ordered the deep fried Snickers, and it was a letdown. Instead of fried, it came out heated -- microwaved, I'd guess -- so the batter was soggy. Not what you'd expect from something as deep fried. There may be better items on the menu, but based on what I ordered, it was a disappointment. I wish that weren't the case.

Overall, I had a really good time at this venue plenty of parking outside and it was a good time.
