    Super cute location and place. Booked for company happy hour at 3pm and we were only ones there. One server girl was working and she was lovely. We got apps and drinks all around. The place was great. Hyde downside: it was SUPER HOT. Not sure if ac was on the fritz but we asked several times for ac to be turned down and were told it couldn't be. We were legit sweating. We'd like to come back to host another but we'd need reassurance that ac will be functional.

    Our bar man was very lovely. We asked about the beer selection and got recommended ones that we enjoyed. The food is not bad. Bees knees is soaked in butter/honey sauce which I personally not a big fan of that but the chicken is fried to very crispy and it is seasoned very well. Mussels are not the freshest so all of them is very small and chewy but the butter wine sauce is lovely with the bread that come with it. Just that if it can be less oily, it would be much better for me. We came in on a Friday night and it was rather quiet.

    Finally made it to Original Gravity a few weeks ago and loved it! I saw their menu ages ago and wanted to try the Bee's Knees sandwich and Mac Daddy mac & cheese. Great vibe inside. Service was great, I can't remember her name but she treated us well and made several recommendations for our table and they were all a smashing hit! If you love sweet and spicy chicken sandwiches, you absolutely must come here! The Mac Daddy was decent, but the Bee's Knees has me wanting to come back. On a scale of 1 to 10, best chicken sandwich I have ever tasted!

    Stopped by this super-cute gastropub with a friend for a bite to eat, and what a pleasant surprise. It's tucked away in The Strip at Highland and 12th St., and has that cozy feel that makes you want to linger. Had the polenta fries and the mac and cheese, and both were delicious. Capped it off with a slice of the key lime pie for dessert. Yum. Service was excellent. Christy (apologies if I'm misspelling her name) was so friendly and genuinely welcoming. Loved the overall decor. Beautiful photography on the walls, and the fact that the space is woman-owned is a big plus in my book. There's also a charming little patio out back. Plenty of parking right outside, which is always appreciated. Prices did feel a bit steep, but to be fair, that seems to be the norm everywhere these days, and it's hard to hold it against the business.

    Celebrated a birthday on Wednesday 9/17 after work during happy hour! Joined late after most of the party was already settled in, but we were seated at the large high table. Happy hour deals from an Instagram ad: Tuesday-Saturday from 3-6PM and all day Sunday for unbeatable deals: + $10 Polenta Fries, Egg Rolls & Roasted Garlic Hummus, $6 OG House Margaritas, Sangria & Well Cocktails, $1 Off All Local Drafts & Wine on Tap Ordered a margarita that was sweet but not strong, overall satisfying. I tried the polenta fries and roasted garlic hummus ordered for the table, and I was not impressed with either. Honestly, I didn't really like either. I've never had polenta fries before, but I later learned that they're made with cornmeal, which explains why they tasted like potato and flour. I found the toppings of pickled red onions and jalapenos to be strange. I usually enjoy most hummus, including roasted garlic hummus, but this one was too sour, as in too garlicky and lemony. At the end of the dinner, our server brought out a cheesecake for our beloved birthday girl! Not sure if this was complimentary for birthdays, as I wasn't the one who asked for it or potentially paid for it. Overall, incredibly mediocre food redeemed only by great happy hour drink deals and attentive/amazing service (and close proximity to my work).

    French 75

    Came with friends after work for a drink and some food. I got the mushroom po' boy and the French 75. The drink was very well mixed and got a nice buzz going for me to enjoy a deep fried mushroom and some sweet potato fries. I feel like since it was a po' boy it should've been on a french loaf, but the sandwhich was still good. The mushroom was super crunch but also super juicy on the inside. The bread was still good despite making this sandwhich a burger rather than a po' boy. I'm interested in coming again to see what their happy hour specials are.

    Patrick was amazing, very friendly and detail oriented when it came to recommendations in the menu. Being that it was my first time it made it easier to choose something from the menu. To the cook making the food good job on the fried because I normally stay away from fries but they were so good that I finished the whole thing ‍ the drinks were amazing, I think it was the white sangria my favorite. The margaritas weren't to bad either the OG margarita wasn't so strong perfectly balanced with the alcohol. Definitely loved that they have a a cute back door patio, not overly crowded comfortable sitting. Perfect to do some remote work if you work work from home...oh and they got fast WiFi. The menu prices reasonable for what thy serve too.

    This place was super cute! We got happy hour drinks were $6 (margarita and sangria- which both were super tasty!) and the food is a good portion. My mom and I split The Bees Knees, which was a hot honey chicken sandwich paired with sweet potato fries. I can't wait to come back!!

    Carnitas Tacos (3)
    Tanisha H.

    What a great little space. My goodness. It's been here since 2017 I think is what the bartender said. A hidden gem I would say. Reasonable prices. Super nice staff. Super efficient. The pork belly was delicious but wasn't what I had in mind when I read pork belly. This was more like thick cut bacon and trust me, I'm not mad at this. Would recommend this to anyone! I got the carnitas tacos. They were a smidge dry but good. My friend got the soy salad & really enjoyed it. Would absolutely come back here.

    Vegetarian Tacos

    We tried out Original Gravity for an early Friday night dinner and were surprised the restaurant wasn't packed! It's a spacious neighborhood joint with a small outdoor patio space and a large bar. We ordered the polenta fries to start and were pleasantly surprised. While the texture is a bit grainy, the seasoning and sauce add a punch of flavor. For mains, we ordered the vegetarian tacos and the Beef on Weck. The veggie tacos were on the smaller end but had a nice balance of flavor. The Beef on Weck was well seasoned and tasted great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, however, given the number of diners and size of the space she would have benefited from some help. We'd definitely check this place out again.

    Beef on Weck with fries
    J.P. W.

    Stopped into this place on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's not an overly large space but it's comfortable and clean and everything you'd expect in a pub with a scratch kitchen. When asked if we had reservations I was nervous (we didn't have reservations) but we found a place at the bar without an issue and there appeared to be one or two tables available. The folks working were very friendly, only caught the name of Mike or Michael behind the bar and he was very conversational and attentive while we sat at the bar. Great beer selection on tap. I had the two darker beers on tap and they were great. They have monitors with the beer selection that's tied into Untappd. The menu has a good variety. I opted for the Beef on Weck and talked to the bartender before ordering, since I'm originally from Upstate New York. The horseradish isn't as hot as you'd get in Buffalo, N.Y. but the roll was right where it was suppose to be and the entire dish was very good. The pork belly appetizer was also excellent. Highly recommended. I look forward to go back.

    Carnitas with different hot sauces
    Amanda W.

    On our way back from Sedona to Phoenix for our flight back home, My husband asked for me to find a good burger with draft beers on tap for late lunch. After narrowing it down to 3, we ultimately chose Original Gravity. The place seems to have a good vibe. Probably better for late night with box table games and cards to keep busy while having a few. Our server was super nice and took our orders. I had the carnitas, my husband and daughter had the regular cheeseburgers with fries, and son had the large pretzel sticks. The burgers were huge. Neither of them could finish them. My son enjoyed the pretzels, and my carnitas were ok. Nothing over the top great. My husband thought the burgers were overly sauced and we're drippy/messy. I don't want to give a negative review. I just think things could have been better executed. Being that we were passing through to go to the airport, I don't think I would come back. If we happen to for some reason, I would try the other 2 places I bookmarked. In all honesty, we have only had 1 GREAT meal in Arizona over the 3 trips we have been here. Even in Sedona finding a tasty meal was hard. Everything is overdone and $$$. I guess next time we need to ask a local.

    Hot AF Burger
    Kathy M.

    I love a good scratch kitchen restaurant, but I wasn't impressed with Original Gravity. I came here with a group of 5. We shared a few appetizers and my bf and I split 2 burgers together. -Polenta Fries: It had a gritty texture on the inside. It tastes better with all the fixings like cotija cheese, jalapeños, and pickled red onions. But overall, I thought it was alright. -IPA Glazed Pork Belly: This sounded so unique but it was just pork belly smothered in a sweet sauce. It wasn't anything to write home about. -Hot AF Burger: This was a beef brisket patty with pork belly, onions, bleu cheese, and all the veggie fixings. It was supposed to be spicy but it didn't taste spicy at all. This was pretty good, but not amazing. -Mushroom Po'Boy: This was under seasoned. The fried portobello was okay. I feel like it could have tasted better if there was cheese or something. Very meh. -Fries: I tried both the sweet potato and regular fries. They were good! Our server was nice and attentive. Overall, I feel like we paid a lot for average food.

It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill.

To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
