Pollo Asado Taco
Brittney C.

Good food, ordered appetizers and one drink. It took a little bit longer than expected to get appetizers served than would expect. Service was good, it was obvious she was busy with many tables so there was a delay in drink refills etc. Love the casual environment and option to sit outside.

We ate here a few months back and remembered it being good. We were craving Mexican food and after reading the menu we thought that this food would hit the spot. We ordered 2 Baja Fish Tacos, the Blackened Salmon Taco, the Grilled Shrimp Taco, the Californian Taco and a Carnitas Taco and picked it up. They are very friendly and quick to get your order out. The food was still piping hot which I really appreciated. I got the Baja Fish Tacos & The Californian Taco. The Fish Tacos were pretty good. The Lime Crema complimented them well. I also had a Californian Taco which was so good, with the fries, crema & hot sauce. Everyone else enjoyed their tacos a lot. I enjoy this place especially because it's reasonably priced and the tacos are really good. We'll be back, maybe to dine-in again as they have a great interior.

One octopus taco with side of black beans, Elote appetizer, grilled fish taco, chips and salsa.
Alisa J.

Food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was okay. The menu was a bit confusing, for every taco that you order you get a side but if you order two tacos you don't get another side choice. ‍ For the cost of one taco it is a bit pricey. I had the octopus taco with black beans and elote...it was delicious.

Ensalada Bowl with portobellos, Chips and Salsa, Guacamole,  PB Carnitas Taco
Debi O.

My sister and I were looking for something to eat on the evening before the Super Bowl, so we needed to stay in the south east part of the metro area - away from the crowds! My sister had been here a few weeks ago and had excellent food. We started with chips, salsa, green salsa and some incredible guac!! Really good beginning. Then my sister ordered the carnitas taco and I had the salad with portobellos for the protein in it. Both were really great. The salad was HUGE. The pico was super, beans were nicely spiced. The pickles on it were a huge surprise and really great. Good fresh veggies.... The salad dressings were good- but the salad had enough flavor that I barely used the dressings. Really nice people, fast service and they checked on us frequently. It was sweet to see the servers high five each other occasionally. Made me smile. Great job

TLDR: We enjoyed our food, but the service is unnecessarily slow. Details: From the time we were seated till we got our dinner was an hour. We were seated right away, and our server came shortly after for our drink order. We waited 20 mins for our drinks and chips. Then he took our order and disappeared. Our street tacos took another 40 mins. No clue why, but they said the kitchen was slammed. Half the tables were leaving after happy hour. The restaurant was moderately busy, especially for a Tuesday. It seems like it's not run well. Servers have tables all over the place and seem to have no rhyme or reason for who's serving whom. But the food is good. Huge bowl of chips and salsa. Decent dinner portions. Great options for gluten free and vegetarian. Chips are in the same fryer though. It seems a little pricey for the area and amount of food.

The Californian style burrito
Bethany A.

This place is a hidden gem! Their carne asada is tender and very flavorful. i got the Cali style burrito, it was so good! I loved the crema and the hot sauce! My husband got the Baja style burrito, which he loved. And our youngest devoured the Mac and cheese (she's picky) My oldest got one California taco (another picky eater) and she loved it. They made my middle daughter a bean and cheese burrito. It was good but don't cut it in half, the beans were not a thick refried bean. I also got the passion fruit margarita and it was delicious!!! We definitely will be back!

Braised beef short rib taco, Estofado Spicy Stew, and Fajitas (shrimp)
Anne W.

Review 1: We've been here many times and food was amazing as always. If you like spicy and tart flavors, you'll love the estofado spicy stew. The braised beef short rib had great quality meat and a ton of it, I felt full after just that one taco. I tried some of my husband's fajitas and they were good too. Shrimp was big, juicy, and flavorful. Review 2: Happy hour was good! The Mama's Passionberry is my favorite cocktail I've ever had.

Whole Snapper Fried Crispy
Mike T.

My parents love this place and have been asking us to join them here for a long time. Well we finally made it. We went for the whole fried snapper and my wife and I shared it. It was massive but we pretty much ate the entire thing. Man it was good. The service here was fantastic as well. My only complaint was the cocktails were not the best. My margarita tasted like it came out of one of those pre made mixtures from the store. My wife wasn't impressed with her Mescal Old Fashioned either. Still it was a great dinner and worth checking out.

Menu prices are absurd
Zach I.

Saw server 2 times and forgot hot sauce (and to ring me up for it luckily) and kitchen messed up order (saw server took it down correctly on receipt) Waaay too small of tacos and lack of flavor for $9 a pop. It's definitely a bar that serves food. Not a restaurant that serves alcohol.

We got seated at the bar and just ordered a few items off the happy hour menu. We ordered the voodoo fried rice, smoked trout dip, and we ordered 16 oysters. The fried rice was great! I love that it was a little spicy. It was a good size of split between the 2 of us. The dip was also pretty good and had a good Smokey flavor. We ordered 16 oysters ($2.50/ea) and got 8 buck & rider, 4 Hama Hama, and 4 Hollywood. They all were really good. I think I liked the buck & rider and Hollywood the most. Service was really quick as we were sitting at the bar so they were pretty attentive. The dishes came out pretty quickly after we ordered. It was a little loud in the restaurant so it was kind of hard to hear each other but that's ok because they were pretty full so that's to be expected.

Once again...a meal that was fantastic, fresh, and well cooked. Wife had an Amaretto Sour, which is made with Disaronno and she loves that drink, saying it's well balanced and she likes that they don't use the egg foam on top. She also ordered off the Crabby Hour menu some scallops on the half shell and some roasted brussels sprouts. This place knows how to roast spouts so that they are tender and toasted and not overdone. So yummy! The scallops are served with a light ponzu sauce drizzled over which complimented the tender scallops. Delicious! From the Restaurant Week menu, I chose the crab & Artichoke dip which we love and it isn't typically on their menu. It was so good and I had to ask for some extra toast points because there was so much dip! I also got the stripped bass, which was cooked to perfection although a smaller portion than the one you get from the regular menu. They do bass right! And for dessert, chose the Pumpkin Pot de Creme, which was my first taste of pumpkin for the season. Creamy and so good although I took off most of the whip cream because it was a lot. Overall another wonderful meal at our favorite fish restaurant!

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is our go-to seafood boil restaurant in the Valley. We regularly dine at…read morethe one in Tolleson, but found ourselves in Mesa today and were in the mood for seafood boil. This location is a much nicer facility and in a better area than the one in Tolleson. The menu is consistent too, which made it easy for us to order our favorites. I hope you get Gigi as your server as she is very pleasant, friendly and checks on you regularly. However, the two (2) greeters at the hostess stand are a different story. It is obvious neither of them like their jobs and just come in to punch a clock. It would be nice if they at least made eye contact with the customers before they have you follow them to the table they have picked out for you. Smile? . . . that's out of the question, too. We determined by the expressions on their faces their parents probably told them since they graduated from high school they aren't going to sit around the house doing nothing all day so this must the the place they applied to.

After driving by this place many times on our way to nearby Dink & Dine, my daughter and I decided…read moreto give it a try. We are fans of the local competitor and wanted to see how this one compared. TLDR: the other one is better! We each ordered the Famous Low Country Boil - mine with lemon pepper sauce and my daughter with the 88 Special, a combo of all the sauces. She went with no spice and I went with mild. We also ordered a bowl of rice. We did enjoy what we had but it seemed heavier than what we are used to. We were not big fans of the sausage mixed in and our service was fine, but not amazing. We were also disappointed that there were not scissors offered to help get the meat out of the crab / lobster - we really had to work for it! On a positive note, we did make good use of the wet wipes that were given to us as well as our bibs and gloves. It is quite a messy meal and note that I learned the hard way: don't wear white if you're planning on ordering any kind of seafood boil! Pricing is similar to the competitor. Ambiance is chill but not as fun. I would not rush back, but I also would return with reasonable expectations.

A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

Unfortunately, our experience at Sage & Barrel in Queen Creek was horrible, and we will not be…read morereturning. From the moment we arrived, the host was not welcoming at all. There was no smile, greeting, or sense that we were happy to be there. Our server was very nice personally, but the service was incredibly disorganized. What made it even more frustrating was that she only had two tables, and the restaurant was not busy. My husband's meal never came out, and she did not even notice that he was still waiting for it. While we were waiting for his food, she brought us a drink we had never ordered. She also filled my kids' lemonades with water. The food was just as disappointing. The salmon was extremely dry and hard, and the pasta noodles my kids ordered were hard as well. After waiting and realizing my husband's meal was never coming, we asked for the bill. At that point, our server actually asked if my husband was ready to order... even though he had already ordered and had been waiting for his meal the entire time. Our bill ended up being high, which made the experience even more frustrating because we spent that much money and left feeling like we received essentially nothing worth coming back for. We all left hungry. Mistakes happen, but this was not one small mistake. It was a series of issues with the service, drinks, food, and basic attentiveness, especially considering the restaurant was not busy. For the amount we paid, we expected a completely different experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
