    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with brown rice and sweet potatoes
    Tisha R.

    This is my first time at this location. We were in the area and stopped in to take friends to brunch before their flight. This is a perfect location. We made it after maneuvering construction in the area and just before the lunch rush. The entire staff was friendly and provided wonderful service. I'm familiar with the menu so explained the various menu options. Everyone enjoyed their choice. There were 2 breakfast wraps/sandwiches and 2 Teriyaki Chicken bowls. The footprint is on the smaller side but there's outside seating. The restroom is clean.

    Last month, I went to the ASU Tempe Original ChopShop and had a negative experience where it took most of my lunch hour just to get my lunch especially after a substitution wasn't correctly done. My colleague finished her lunch well before I started mine. While it was overall a negative experience, I have been in touch with Original ChopShop and shared feedback with them and also was invited back to try a meal there again. I am pleased that my experience today was very positive and shows me that every restaurant has a one-off experience every now and then. When I arrived today just before the lunch hour, I expected there to be a line and a long wait though I walked right up to place an order where Brendan helped me customize a sandwich (ordering a Chicken & Prosciutto sandwich with the prosciutto being substituted for turkey). Brendan quickly caught on to what I wanted and ensured that the order was properly noted. He also told me about the seasonal lemonade (Strawberry Ginger Lemonade), which I thought might be too gingery though Brendan got me a small sample, and I liked it, so I ordered that, too. The sandwich and lemonade arrived in less than ten minutes to the table where I was sitting with the number they gave me. The sandwich and drink were both tasty, and I will be ordering both again soon. I also observed the kiosks being used regularly along with a lot of online orders showing up and picking their food up in a timely manner over the lunch hour. I realized also that my prior visit was the day after graduation when it was still very busy while today was a typical lighter summer day. I look forward to visiting again when it's busy during the academic year. I also wanted to share that the Chops Loyalty program is a worthwhile program, which you can read more about at https://originalchopshop.com/loyalty-rewards. You can use the Original ChopShop app to order ahead and skip the line, get delivery, save your favorite orders, earn Chops (points) with every purchase, and choose your own rewards. There are also exclusive challenges and contests at locations and through social media. Thank you to the Original ChopShop team for being responsive to my previous feedback and getting me back in the door. I would recommend this location based on today's experience, and I will certainly be back.

    My friend and I came here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. There is a lot of outdoor seating and limited indoor seating. You will have to find street parking because there is no dedicated parking lot. I believe I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl and it was really good! If you've ever been to Flower Child, the quality is comparable so you know it is really tasty. I liked that this place offers healthy and fresh options for lunch. Inside, you can either order with a staff member or with a self-serve kiosk. I wasn't too much of a fan of the inside aesthetic, but the outside was really pretty with plants and benches, chairs, and tables. I would come back here again!

    Stopped in post workout at Orange Theory down the street. OG Chop Shop is a great spot. This particular location is located on the ASU campus and gets plenty of foot traffic. It's generally pretty quick and easy experience. I usually only go once in a while for a protein shake. My only real complaint about this spot is the smell!! When you first walk in it's a bit sewer-y. Is that a word? Well it is now. I've been to a few places that are like this and it's just unpleasant ambiance lol. But I'm usually in there and out. Plus, if I were going to dine-in I'd sit outside on their large backyard like patio. Cheers to your health!

    More indoor sitting area.

    As I was riding my bike, I saw this place and made a quick stop to try it out. Now, make no mistake: this place has so many healthy items on its menu that it should please just about any health nut. But my first experience was not that great. They had plenty of places to sit, whether you like to sit indoors or outdoors. I decided to try the "Glow Up Shake," which is their protein shake. The shake was okay; it didn't blow me away. Considering that it has banana, pineapple, dates, etc., I was hoping it would melt in my mouth with a galaxy of flavor--darn, no such luck. But like I said, it was an okay drink that I think others might like. Now, as for the $3 pre-wrapped Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie? The first cookie they brought me was hard as a diamond. I asked if they could heat it up to soften it a bit like they do at Starbucks, but he said they can't? Wow, I didn't realize that heating a Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie was so complex that it can't be done by some places. Anyway, the minor good news was he brought me a different cookie that was soft enough to bend and break off a piece and chew without worrying about breaking a tooth. But the big question is, will I be back? Of course I will; the place has a plethora of healthy food which I like. And I'm sure when I order something other than a diamond-hard Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie, my experience will be somewhat better. This place does have a fantastic Wi-Fi. That's a plus.

    Really healthy, delicious options! I had the Thai salad and my husband had the steak sandwich. Sat outside in the nice patio! Only downside is the patio has pigeons.

    Hot Honey Chicken Hummus Bowl

    Mmm, love chopshop! Great for to go, I had the hot honey chicken bowl and it's sooooo good! I also tried it with tofu which was delicious. Cute place!

    Citrus thai salad with a thai peanut dressing
    Moncerrath N.

    We went during lunch time. The service was fast. I was able to order and find outside seating. They will be your order to your table. I ordered the Citrus Thai Salad: This is packed with flavor and has a lot of vegetables. Loved that the dressing had a spicy kick. For someone that loves spicy this is a great choice! This salad contains house greens, orange segments, roasted red pepper, pickled carrot, jicama, cucumber, green onion, peanut, cilantro, sesame seed, and Thai peanut dressing on the salad.

    First stop after we landed in Phoenix was a hit. We were looking something filling but on the healthier side. I ordered the Thai Coconut Chicken Bowl with Quinoa and Roasted Veggies. The portions are generous and there was plenty to take as leftovers. The sauce for the coconut chicken tied the bowl together nicely. The only thing I would change is less onions in the roasted veggies. Would recommend if you're in the area!

    Superfruit Acai Bowl

    This place NEVER lets me down the food is always fresh and made to order! The service is amazing and the ambience is inviting! If you want healthy food, great service and good prices, check out the Original Chopshop.

    Menu, you can also locate the menu in a pamphlet to look at closer

    This is a great spot to stop by if you are looking for a healthy alternative. The ambiance is great, a little crowded in the inside but they have a patio section to enjoy the sun- we came in a rainy day so unfortunately, we weren't able to enjoy it so we had to sit inside which was a bit loud. I got the turkey sandwich which was good but did not do chips or any add one and it was $12 for a regular sandwich. We also tried their bowls which the Thai bowl came with the best tasting sauce! The service was quick and polite- had no issues with it! They also bring you your food if you order in. They have a selection of some refreshing drinks as well! Would like to go again, but with pricey it is not sure you are getting your moneys worth

    Thai Coconut Chicken Bowl GF and Beet GFVEG
    Nicole B.

    I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. Chop shop is one of the few healthy restaurants in the area, which is why my mum and I frequent so much. When we last visited they were out of cheese and grilled veggies. Bummer because I was really look forward to having a really filling bowl. The Thai coconut chicken itself was really good and I was happy about that, the service and the cute restaurant.

    Red Chili Lime Shrimp Bowl GF
    Amanda C.

    Got delivery and everything arrived on time and well packaged. Got the chili lime shrimp bowl with brown rice, sweet potatoes, and roasted veg. Filled my shrimp craving and was delicious! Felt healthy and was very filling, I had leftovers. Also tried the chocochip cashew cookie and espresso cookie. Loved the chocochip but not really a espresso fan. If you like coffee it'd be good to try. Soft and chewy cookies.

    Loved this place!…read more First, we had to change our reservation, and the host could not have been nicer. On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

    Our final verdict after dining at Filthy Animal steakhouse in Tempe, Arizona, on a Sunday night…read moreafter seeing The Odyssey at Harkins nearby: High Aura. We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw. Like I said I like this restaurant and never had problems but today felt like a fever dream there.

    If you blink, you might drive right past this little bar and grill, as it's set back offv the road…read moresnuggled up next to a bigger building. There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?

    Hubby & I had dinner here last Friday. The restaurant was not what we expected…read more It is much smaller than we thought. They have the roll up windows /doors open. They did have misters for some of the outdoor seating. We were able to find a table inside. You go up to the bar to place drink & food orders. The staff were friendly & helpful. The music was loud. Hubby got a beer & I got Tito's & cranberry juice. Hubby got the wings & onion rings. I got the Create Your Own Burger without tomato. The drinks were good. Hubby loved the wings. The onion rings were good. The burger was excellent! I don't know what they do different, but it was really good. The fries were good too. I'm not sure that we will be back since it's a bit of a haul for us.

Like I said, I was here to do some work and studying, by 7:45 when I ordered my cocktail, the spot was close to 90% full. Seems like a fun and hype spots.. I would like to come back for the games. Spoke to another young lady Tamara with a question about the drink another table had an Calvin made sure my water stayed full. Great team!

    Snakes & Lattes is a fun spot in downtown Tempe to grab food, drinks, and hang out with friends…read moreover board games. The space is huge with plenty of tables, booths, and bar seating, plus they have a dog-friendly patio, although it didn't seem to be open during our visit. One thing to note is that ordering is done entirely through QR code, so interaction with staff is pretty minimal. Service was still smooth, but it definitely has more of a self-service feel. Their board game collection is massive and there's a $6 per person fee if you want to play. We ended up skipping the games this time and just came for food and drinks. Food-wise, everything was solid. I had the Spellbinder Hazy IPA along with the patty melt and sweet potato fries (a $3 upcharge). The patty melt was excellent and easily the highlight of my meal. The fries were decent, though I wish they had been a little crispier. My wife had the 12 West Super Beaker Tropical IPA and the carnitas bowl. We also shared the fried pickle chips. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since all the nearby downtown Tempe garages are paid parking, but there are at least several options within walking distance. There's even a small paid lot right behind the restaurant. Overall, a really cool concept with good food, drinks, and an impressive game selection.

We actually booked it on a whim that same afternoon while looking for somewhere with reservations. I didn't realize at first that it was the striking A-frame building we've driven past several times and always wondered about. Once we pulled in, everything clicked--and what a beautiful place. The architecture is stunning, the setting feels tucked away and peaceful, and parking was easy with plenty of space available. We were seated immediately at a corner table surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, which made the entire experience feel bright and inviting. One detail that really stood out to me was the quality of the restaurant itself. Even the tables were heavy, solid, and beautifully made. It sounds like a small thing, but those thoughtful details made the space feel intentional and elevated. The food was absolutely to die for. Every dish at the table impressed us, the cocktails were excellent, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared without being pretentious. It struck that perfect balance of upscale while still feeling warm and comfortable. From the beautiful architecture to the incredible food and welcoming atmosphere, Oliver's completely exceeded our expectations. We'll absolutely be back, and next time it won't be on a whim--it'll be a destination.

    My Yelp bestie Ariana and I recently had dinner at Top of the Rock at the Marriott Phoenix Resort…read moreTempe at The Buttes. The biggest draw is definitely the view. We arrived in time for sunset, and it did not disappoint. Watching the sunset over the Phoenix skyline made for a beautiful evening, and the restaurant itself has a unique atmosphere. We had a 7:30 reservation and were checked in right on time, we were seated outside, but there was very little shade, and unfortunately it was a hot, humid, and windy evening, so it wasn't the most comfortable dining experience. Our server, Sergio, was friendly, but we had to ask several times for water refills. One of the highlights before the meal was the complimentary bread service. The bread and butter were delicious, and the staff member who brought it out took the time to explain each item on the board which was a nice touch. The food was good. The 8 oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was the highlight of the meal, tender, flavorful, and worth ordering. We had enjoyed the desserts. The chocolate mousse was rich and creamy, and the Pavlova was light, fresh, and beautifully presented with berries. That said, the outdoor seating wasn't quite as relaxing as we expected. It was pretty windy the evening we visited, which made dining outside a little uncomfortable. The resort Pool is directly below the patio, and there happened to be a party going on, so there was quite a bit of noise. The restaurant also overlooks the freeway. Traffic wasn't heavy during our visit, but I imagine the road noise and air quality could be more noticeable during busier times. Overall, if you are looking for a scenic dinner with a memorable sunset, top of the rock is worth visiting. Just be prepared for the weather if you sit outside and know that the ambiance can depend on what's happening around the resort. The steak alone is reason enough to come back.
