The meat quality was pretty good, esp the beef belly. I'm not a fan of the electric grills, as they would overcook the meat pretty fast, but the servers will turn it down if you ask them. We like being in control of the grill, but it's a nit picky thing. :) The only thing that was strange was that they had told us that they were short on veggies and were saving them for their main dishes aka they wouldn't give us an onion. Other than that, the servers were sweet, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. For Arizona, this was ok. 5 stars for blasting more OG K-pop music ala Big Bang and EXO! :D

Very healthy options for lunch, with choices like sandwiches, salads and soups or pick 2 or protein bowls. You get a roll and a chocolate coated strawberry complementary with lunch. We also split a yummy piece of chocolate mousse dessert. But it doesn't end there. There have dirty sodas and other interesting self serve drinks. I went with the cold matcha and returned for refills. We both opted for the pick 2. Soup & Salad. The lobster bisque is divine. Plenty of room to sit and eat as well as a drive through.

Nothing is watered down, nothing is phoned in. The curries have proper depth, the stir-fries actually taste of wok hei, and even the basics like pad Thai or fried rice hit the mark every single time. The menu is straightforward and easy to order from--no confusing substitutions or vague descriptions. What you see is exactly what you get, and what you get is reliably delicious. Service is quick, portions are generous, and the food travels well if you're taking it home.

I decided to try the Tom Yum Gai with chicken, and unfortunately, this visit was a bit of a miss for me. The broth was very concentrated, and the overwhelming flavor was salt.

We've visited this location many times over the years and have always had a great experience, so it was disappointing that this time was different. I definitely appreciate that their menu has so many gluten-free options to choose from, which is always a big plus for me! I'll happily come back and try some of our usual favorites, but I don't think I'll be ordering the soup again anytime soon.

They are known for their oven that melts all of your goodies on your tacos or enchiladas together in a ceramic bowl. You typically have a good choice of meats and vegetarian options as your filling, but on the night I dined here they were out of the bison (my first choice of protein) and the short ribs. I ended up ordering one green Chile pork and one chicken enchilada, topped it with cheeses, salsas, sauces, pickled onion and more. The enchiladas and drink already rang up to just under $20 so I bypassed a side (would have bought the spicy cornbread). For a better value, the lunch special is $15 for your entree, a side and a drink, which would save about $5 vs standard dinner prices. The meal didn't cook quite long enough in the oven because I didn't get any crisping of the tortilla, gooey melting of the cheese or hardening of the juices in the bottom of the bowl (just wetness). This took away some of the expected flavor profile. While the employees were friendly, they kept their iced tea behind the counter so I had to have them fill my cup up twice. I always like a blend of ~2/3 unsweet tea and ~1/3 sweet tea...but when the tea ratios are out of my control I just asked for half and half. The first time it was too sweet so my refill I asked for unsweet only. The interior is nice, spacious, well-lit and clean. Despite the parking lot for this complex was full with cars winding up and down every row looking for a spot, there was only one other customer in the store during primetime dinner hours. Clearly, Gadzooks is not the hot location in the Epicenter. Overall, my first experience at Gadzooks Gilbert was just okay. I was disappointed they were out of my first protein choices and my meal was not in the oven long enough. But it's not a complete dealbreaker as I could see myself eating here again in the future.

Ugh, not a fan. Too expensive for too little food. They use to be awesome, until they got their name stuck in peoples heads, and they decided it was time buy cheaper meat and bread, it doesn't matter anyway, people will still go because of them "name" I had the paradise club...a club is suppose to be 3 slices of bread, and they were out of their croissants so i had it one wheat, the bread was bland and dry. They only had about 1-2 oz of turkey, (place i work we use 4oz for turkey clubs) and it taste like cheap deli turkey that you get out of a pre-packaged bag. and the bacon....i hate pre cooked, tossed in the microwave (like subway) bacon. It's paper thin and has no flavor. That is what i mean by going cheaper-they don't want to cook their own bacon to save costs, so they get pre made bacon. And it was so expesive, like 6.95, oh, and i get a cookie...woo hoo. BUT i like to give people second chances, so i went again and got some tomato soup and another sandwich (don't remember what kind) i do remember the sandwich was...well i've definitely had better. And the soup, what's tomato soup without tomatoes in it? at the place i work, we actually put about 4 tomatoes worth in our soup, you know so when you get a spoonful there are actual tomato chunks in it. Anyway, i gave them a second chance, all they are is a "name", read more

I have been a constant customer ever since they opened however service and product available has been getting worse and worse every month. We usually have it for dinner 4:30-5 and they are 9 time out of 10 out of rolls for soup. So tonight I thought I'll just buy a whole loaf since they're out of the sides for the soups and lo and behold they are out of all loafs. Prior to CoVid they are so reliant on the kiosks they don't even say hi anymore. I spent $37.00 on 1 cup soup, 1 cup of Mac, bowl of Mac (no bread) and 4 cookies no employee contact. That's a rip :( I will not be coming back. read more

This Panera is the worst Panera bread that I have been too. I recently moved to the area and both times I have gone there, they have messed something up. The first time I went, they didn't give me the correct items. I went back tonight to get three bowls of soup and they didn't put them in the bag correctly with the cardboard counter in the bottom and the soups started to spill which made the bag wet and break. The person who put the soups in the bag should have been smarter than that. Very disappointed with this Panera. read more

This was my first visit to the Queen Creek location, and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere feels noticeably more upscale than the Gilbert or Mesa locations, without losing the casual charm that makes Pita Jungle what it is. We started with the caramelized cauliflower, ordered well done, which is absolutely the way to go. Perfectly roasted, beautifully caramelized, and complemented by tahini sauce, pine nuts, and thinly sliced onions. Simple ingredients, executed exceptionally well. Then there's the Lavosh Shawarma Wrap, a dish that has been calling my name for years. There's something magical about that crispy lavosh coming out of the wood fired oven, filled with tender chicken, roasted goodness, and garlic sauce. Add a generous dip in Sriracha, and you've officially arrived in Mediterranean heaven. After three decades, you'd think I'd have explored every corner of the menu. The problem is, when something is this good, it's nearly impossible not to order it again. Pita Jungle continues to prove that great food doesn't need to be complicated.
