    A great restaurant & homemade food, been around over 30 years. Love this quaint place. Come in & get great food.Lorena & staff are amazing

    Pritish J.

    Resist the temptation to change anything from the menu and allow Lorena to surprise you with the most delightful things like machaca and chimichanga. ¡Que bueno! Homemade salsa, as well as Everything else, at extremely reasonable prices

    French toast.

    Apple maps led us to this place on a road trip to Palm Springs. We were a little skeptical at first because there was no menu posted online, but so glad we came. The food was amazing. The breakfast sausages were the best part. So delicious! The only negative comment I have is the coffee. It tasted really burnt and bad, otherwise everything was perfect.

    Two tacos with rice and beans.

    I had a bacon breakfast Burrito. Perfect portion egg, hash brown potatoes and bacon. Hot sauce was very good as well. Good price!

The food came out quickly and was absolutely amazing everything was fresh and on point. They had a live DJ who made the night such a fun memorable experience for our whole group. A huge shoutout to Katelyn, the manager, who truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we had an unforgettable time. Her attention to detail and positive energy made all the difference. Hands down, this place exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend

Long story short, we ordered a to-go burger to take to a family member that was not with us. We ordered the burger, the server asked "kids burger?" , we replied no-just a regular burger. We boxed up our remaining food as well and paid via the handheld POS (with 20% tip) and were asked if we wanted a receipt, we declined and left. We come to find out as we delivered the burger to our family member that what was boxed up for us was just a meat patty. Nothing more, just a patty. I have no idea what we paid for this, as I declined my receipt--but in what world does a customer order a meat patty to go? Can't say I'll be excited to come back to Pedal Haus as there are several different breweries nearby that likely have a good burger that isn't just a meat patty.

    Grand Avenue Brewing is my first choice when I feel like going out…read more My personal ritual is to start with a flight of 4 oz pours, which lets me sample several beers and enjoy the experience of discovering my favorite for that visit before settling in with a full glass. Happy Jack, their cream ale, is a always in my flight along with the Quad, my favorite beer of all time. The rotating seasonals keep every visit feeling fresh. What I find remarkable is that I never experience the after effects I get from commercial store bought beer. The food program is genuinely special -- house smoked BBQ, loaded baked potatoes, soft pretzels, noodle bowls, loaded mac and cheese, and green chili, with vegetarian options too. The setting -- a vintage historic warehouse in the heart of Phoenix's lower Grand Avenue arts district -- gives it a soul that's hard to find anywhere else. If you can make it on a First Friday, the live music takes the whole experience up another notch. Add in a dog-friendly patio and retail beer to go, and there's truly nothing missing. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, and the owner is always on premises and never too busy to share a great conversation. It's no wonder Grand Avenue Brewing has been voted one of the Top 10 Breweries in Metro Phoenix. Five stars without question

We located this Location based on one of my YELP friends that I've been following for years as she really loves Aftermath. On this occasion, we were lucky enough that they had live music. The musician was fantastic and just really talented. We ended up sitting in a nice cozy booth where we could stretch out and feel comfortable and relax. For drink drinks we ordered the old-fashioned and also the big easy. We both enjoyed our drinks and moved on to ordering Andre's. My husband ordered the aftermath burger and I ordered the meatloaf. All in all, we were really happy with our selections and actually ended up getting a second round of cocktails as they were really delicious. For this round of transition to the Cabernet red wine, which is Dauo Wines and it was really tasty. We'll definitely be back, hope that this musician continues to play live music. The drink or music on Sunday night, really made it a fun date night experience.

Kimchi fried rice was a good portion but bland - no flavor of kimchi or anything really... Aftermath wings with the dill ranch was okay- wings were dry but ranch made up for it. Really didn't get the house hot sauce on it at all. Burger- Highly touted on social media for an amazing burger but honestly for $24 each, you're better off getting a burger anywhere else. We ordered both the Aftermath Burger and Jalapeño Burger. Nothing stood out in a good or bad way so... forgettable. Service- Slow. Only one bartender who mostly was slow. Drinks and water sat empty for quite a while we ate. For a total of $120+tip, it was really middle of the pack.

Their cocktail menu is really fun too if that's what you're looking for, definitely a fun place to drink. It's got a dark vibe interior and was pretty lively. The parking lot behind is $23 minimum so make sure to look for street parking when you're driving in. We ordered a few things but my favorite was probably the ceviche or the Caesar, both were well dressed and I kept reaching for them. Honestly, all the food here was really great and came out so quick I was very happy. Unfortunately I ordered a Diet Coke that never came, but to be fair I did it after everyone had already gotten their drinks, and the server wasn't ready to write it down. Something that really bothered us though was when we asked the server if they do anything for birthdays and they said yes. We received two different desserts and were really happy until we got the bill and realized we were charged for one of them. We would've been fine without dessert and definitely didn't ask them to bring out two, so that was a little upsetting.

We had a party of 10 and it was so fun. We all had drinks a some people ordered food. Due to party size there was auto gratuity and only 4 cards max. The bar is in the basement of the hotel. When we got there though it wasnt very clear that it was there. We got there a little early but the accommodated us nicely. Originally there was going to be 9 people but I asked day of event if I could bring another person and they said yes. The drinks were so good. Th divine feminine tasted like Jamaica drink with the hibiscus. Then I had the happy birthday Mr. President. Oh. My. God. It didn't even taste like alcohol it tasted like vanilla ice cream I'm so serious. It was delicious. Then I had the siren drink. That one wasn't bad at all. We all had a great time and shared laughs and everything. I love the setting of it though. It's a bit dark so we had to use phone lights to see the menu. But it feels like stepping into a whole new world once you enter. I think it's perfect for hanging out. Date night. Anniversary dinner. All of it. Our server was nice. Very friendly. I think he could use a little more on his hospitality just because sometimes I feel like he didn't know what to say exactly. A little disappointed that there wasn't really anything special for a birthday though. Not even a little card on the table that said happy birthday. Just a thought. Other fine dining establishments I've been in did.

    Rough Rider has been through some changes that I find disappointing. When we were seated, I asked…read moreour server if they still have happy hour and he said he wasn't sure if we were still within the happy hour window - it was 3:30 PM. He then confirmed we were still within the happy hour window and offered to bring us a menu. They used to have an extensive happy hour menu featuring several drinks and food items and now their "happy hour menu" consists of a cheeseburger for $22. Not sure that that really constitutes as a happy hour menu... I asked him why they changed the menu and he put up his hands as if to say he's not to blame and said he doesn't have anything to do with those decisions. He said that "management decided to make a few substitutions but they're pretty good" and didn't provide any further elaboration. I ordered the appetizer lamb lollipops which had four small pieces for $25. My friend decided to try the "happy hour" cheeseburger and he said it was good but it did appear a bit overpriced for an average burger with a pretty hefty serving of french fries. I really wasn't impressed by the quality of the food, the portion size, the price, or the service. Unfortunately, I'll be taking Rough Rider off my list of regular places i frequent and restaurants I recommend to others.
