For a real quick bite at the airport between fights they were quick and efficient getting us our breakfast sandwich. Little greasy but overall had good flavor, it was hot, and they were quick about it. When running between flight I cannot as for much more. Only hit would be garbage is over flowing other then that thank you.

Bad breakfast Egg Sandwich
Logan T.

Would highly discourage anyone thinking about eating here. I consumed most of my breakfast sandwich (was very hungry) until I continued to smell something that just wasn't right. Eggs were bad in the sandwich.

Here for a conference and wanted a happy hour dinner! This place was perfect. The decor is very classy and the happy hour menu was delicious. We sat at the high tops by the bar and were served immediately. Bread and pesto were brought to our tables and we enjoyed every morsel. Happy ran until 6 which was perfect for our conference schedule. Highly recommend!

Prosciutto di Parma
Emery G.

Came around 5pm on a Saturday with two others. Sat fast and service was good. Ordered the skinny spicy margarita which was delicious. Great balance of heat, not too much to blow your taste buds. It lingers in your mouth nicely. The focaccia bread with the pesto was delicious. Mussels were bountiful with a red broth with depth. Loved the onions and sausage with the mussels. Bread must be soaked in the sauce. So delicious. The prosciutto di Parma, best part is the torn bread with whipped ricotta. Good quality prosccuito as well. Wasn't a game changer though. It was good. The lasagna bolognese was a hit. Thanks to the hostess for recommending it. They have a good quality ricotta, so creamy. Just added salt, pepper and more Parmesan cheese. My friend had the short rib and called out that it was a pretty fatty piece. But that the mashed potato's were good. The heirloom tomato and corn flatbread was a hit as well. All dishes were delicious but nothing out of this world. Seems like a good staple for good food.

The food and atmosphere were incredible! Sam took great care of us. The bacon wrapped dates were a great surprise.

They have a good selection of pizzas and panninis and they don't skimp on the portion sizes! Sorry, no photo. I ate it too fast!

Located in A Terminal A at Phoenix Sky Harbor, best food prices I have ever found in an international airport! I appreciate that!

We stopped by its store in Sky Harbor terminal for a brunch. They no longer serve the Mediterranean salad, so we got the Gorgonzola pine nuts chicken salad with Gorgonzola vinegrette dressing. ($14.99) It was full of flavor (Gorgonzola and pine nuts) and I would get it again. I got the 20oz cappuccino and it was a good one. Service was fast and friendly Ambience was good. There is a small seating area in front of the rod the store but at 10:30am on a Saturday it was full.

What a way for Fox Restaurant Concepts to destroy an otherwise great brand. At 7:00 am in terminal 4, this shop is understaffed, with poorly trained people. There is a line out into the airport terminal and another line with nowhere to stand near the register, of people who have paid for food that isn't ready. Barely an apology after food that was ordered and paid for is out of stock. Hire a manager!

Breakfast Bowl

Great dining when visiting Sky Harbor for a quick breakfast! Loved the ability to get a great cappuccino and a bite to eat before my flight. The staff was friendly and the coffee shop vibes were cozy before wheels up on my trip to my happy place - Disneyland! I'll definitely return if in this side of the terminal again.

Stopped by Olive & Ivy for a quick dinner on my way back home from MX. I enjoyed the hot turkey panini although I would have liked the turkey more distributed and a greater portion of lettuce and tomato. The bread was very fresh and toasted perfectly, still soft yet crunchy! I also ordered the pine nut salad which was good although I would have much preferred the chicken be heated before put on the salad and delivered to my table. I found it to be rather dry and cold which detracted from my joy :-) their staff were helpful, though not quite as warm and friendly a professional.

Pretty Penny - Octopus Tostada

This place is definitely a hidden gem! We came in for cocktails which is delicious, but left raving…read moreabout the food! The rotating menu changes weekly or so, and everything we had was amazing! The risotto was full of flavor and the kale salad was probably the best salad I've had! The bar is small but a welcoming vibe, and the staff was really friendly and fun to talk with!

What an amazing evening, beautifully curated with so many thoughtful details. Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

My experience with Mexican food has admittedly been rather limited, largely revolving around the…read morefamiliar rotation of tacos, burritos, and the familiar assortment of rice and beans. While I've had some phenomenal street tacos in LA and Mexico, I've been wanting to explore more of its diversity, particularly the seafood traditions! We came with a healthy appetite and ordered the Mega Molcajete, El Pulpazo, and Camarones Locos. The complimentary ceviche tostadas were a promising start! Fresh, vibrant, they immediately set my expectations high for quality and freshness of the seafood to follow. The Mega Molcajete was a showstopper. The dish arrived as an extravagant spread of grilled meats, shrimp, octopus, lobster tail, fried fish, and more. Visually spectacular, and with flavors that lived up to its presentation! El Pulpazo deserves its own praise. Octopus is notoriously unforgiving. There's a fine line between beautifully tender and unpleasantly chewy. I've had my share of disappointing renditions to know that an impressive char means very little if the texture isn't right. Fortunately, this was executed well! Fantastically seasoned, with a lovely charred exterior, and cooked to the right doneness! The Camarones Locos were another highlight! We loved the flavors of the sauce! Since we had children with us, our waitress graciously accommodated our request to serve the sauce separately to control the spice level! We also had the Mango Diablo, which provided some much-needed tropical refreshment from both the Arizona heat and the fiery kick of the dishes themselves! A few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. The parking can be tricky, as the lot is rather small (we were fortunate to snag the single remaining spot in the lot). This was also not an inexpensive outing. Our bill (for the aforementioned orders above) came in just under $300 (tax and tip included). That said, I felt the experience justified the splurge!

Late lunch 3pm normally a slower pace for a restaurant. Host…read moresat us quickly and server was very friendly and when I asked for recommendations she provided us with some great choices.

I need to take a moment and brag about Knock Kneed's food, specifically the zucchini! I don't think…read moreanyone else in the valley has zucchini quite as food as them. Let me explain, they are thinly cut at a bias and have the most amazing breading making them so nice and crispy! If you don't know about them, you need to! Ok, now the rest of the food...the fish is delicious moist with great breading, the shrimp is usually good but I felt like it was slightly over-breaded today but still good enough. Onion rings, delicious super crispy and they have a different type breading, that is seasoned so well. The service is great and well I don't know what more I could ask for after a long day of working.

First, if you're looking for lobster, there isn't any here. It's a fish 'n chips place (with other…read moregood stuff), but no lobster despite the name. Second, it's excellent. Arizona has a problem with fish 'n chips. Namely that all they have here are the square, frozen fish patties. All the places Arizonans rave about (like Pete's and Mandy's, etc.) are just frozen fish patties. That's not fish 'n chips. That's a TV dinner. Thankfully, Knock Kneed Lobster is a throwback to an actual fish 'n chips joint. No frozen patties anywhere in sight. The place was built in the 40s and it's in a crappy neighborhood near Sky Harbor airport and diagonal from a strip joint. But don't let that stop you. There is so much to try here and none of it disappoints. The fish is Alaskan cod and it's as good as anything in the west coast. California has some stellar fish n chips, and the fish here is just as good. The cod is flaky and mild and fresh. The batter is cornmeal based, but it's light and not doughy or raw inside. They fry it to a perfect golden brown. The menu has dozens of variations of it (1 piece, 2 piece, 3 piece with 2 shrimp, etc.). The basic fish n chips comes with some old fashioned French fries (the perfect skinny ones like they should be). And one of the best parts is the "salsa bar" where you get your own tartar sauce, ketchup, cocktail sauce, ranch, fresh cut lemons, as much as you want. Mix and match; whatever. In another area you can dispense malt vinegar and Louisiana hot sauce to your heart's content. And in another area is an enormous fountain drink machine with everything you can imagine. But beyond the fish 'n chips is a lot more. The fried shrimp is awesome. They have clams and oysters and catfish too. And don't miss the fried zucchini. It's one of the best I've ever had, and their ranch is excellent. The fried mushrooms are to die for, so it's tough to pick! This place is the real deal. It's definitely a throwback to another era, and I imagine these places won't survive for much longer. Family-owned restaurants are being attacked through regulation, economic pressure, city ordinances, and enormous pressure from corporate-owned eateries. Come here while you still can and taste what really good fish 'n chips should be- even in the middle of the desert.
