Starting with the good stuff--we love a spot with great food and drinks, and this place delivers on both. It's always exciting to see new places pop up for casual hangs, and we've made the drive up from Queen Creek a few times now for lunch or dinner. We've met some awesome people here--Sam, in particular, is always warm, welcoming, and adds to the good vibes every time we're in. Now for the not-so-great part--there's one staff member who consistently brings down the experience. The blonde, who is often behind the bar, has a noticeably negative attitude. She comes off cold, unfriendly, and honestly makes us uncomfortable enough that we'd rather wait for a table than sit at the bar if she's working. This isn't just a one-off experience either; it's been consistent enough to warrant mentioning in hopes it leads to some improvement. To wrap it up, the beer selection is solid, and the wings, homemade tenders, and Philly cheesesteak are all top-tier. We still recommend checking this place out--just manage expectations if Lacy happens to be the one serving you. read more

Twice experienced now & we will go back, but here's the story... first time we went cuz my man heard a good word, so we grabbed another couple on a Sunday afternoon & ventured. It was an easy, quick drive from Guadalupe/Sossamon (there's nothing over here). Table in the bar area, friendly, welcoming & prompt. I noticed how clean it was right off the bat. My crew ordered a round & it was quickly before them. Menu offered just the right amount of options. We ordered, excited to see what was to come. Our server was attentive & chips 'n' caso came up super quick & it was super yummy - love that it wasn't bright orange goo from a can, but fresh & house made. I opted in for the .22 Lemonade HIGHLY recommend! Lunch was delivered & everything was delicious. Chili verde was "muah " & My burger (built it myself) was prepared just right & everyone at the table was pleased.... If that was our only experience, I'd be giving a 5, however... time two was less awesome. Just my man & me... quick to get a seat - same section, but it was so freaking cold we couldn't relax. Service was fine, not as friendly as before, but pleasant. I went for the same & built my own burger. Ordered it medium rare... it was perfect. My man built one, too, he ordered it rare & it came out well done. He was bummed. We will certainly give it another try. Truly love the location, how clean it was & the menu options, but I just wish consistency was a thing. I say give them a try & the regular French fries... they're da bmb!! read more

We came in at 9:15 for a late dinner and they had all the chairs up so that no one could sit down. If your hours are open until 10pm, you should be serving people until 10pm. It was a real let down. read more

Man depends what you are looking for!!! Like wine? They give you good pours. Like beer? They have tons of options. The Cajun Steak bites under appetizer, my husband loved a lot, me..... ehh ok I wouldn't order it again but it was good. He got the prime rib and coleslaw. After reading a review that it was the best coleslaw I the world, he ordered it and did not like it at all. The prime rib sandwich was insanely good. But let's get to the best part............. The buffalo chicken sandwich and sweet Potato fries. The fries weren't anything super different from anything I have had but mixed with that chipotle ranch........ again noises out of my mouth I can't control. The buffalo chicken sandwich is enough to feed a village lol. The chicken is bigger than MY HAND!!!! I was able to eat just the chicken around the bun and bring a FULL sandwich home for my son. The ranch is amzeballs. I'm going to bed back here read more

The staff were the highlight of this experience. Gave awesome recommendations, were very attentive and friendly. Food was your typical bar type food. Nice little local spot! read more

Overall great experience, service was a tad slow on a Friday , so I feel maybe a bit understaffed Very friendly close to my house and reasonably priced definitely will be trying it out again read more

I've been to Point 22 Tavern multiple times with Ollie, my small Yorkie and federally recognized deaf service dog, who sits quietly in a stroller next to me. Never once was there an issue--until now. Today, the manager approached us with an unnecessarily rude and aggressive tone, insisting that Ollie be placed on the floor and under the table. This demand goes directly against the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which legally protects service animals in public spaces--regardless of whether they're walking, carried, or in a stroller. I explained this, but she doubled down, showing zero understanding or respect. It was blatant discrimination, and I walked out. The treatment I received was humiliating and completely out of line--not just for me, but for anyone who relies on a service animal. This kind of behavior has no place in a public-facing business. To make matters worse, I later found out this place has racked up recent health violations, including improper handwashing after handling raw chicken and using cleaning rags in a hand-wash sink. Disrespectful and unsanitary? No thanks. Zero stars for Point 22 Tavern. (Yelp forced me to post one star for posting) I will never return--and I'm currently exploring appropriate channels to report this ADA violation. Businesses like this need to be held accountable read more

The food was good and what you would expect from a tavern set up. I got the fried pickles for an app and the grilled chicken with a baked potato and broccoli. Everything came out quickly and tasted good. The servers were awesome and so personable. Kyle was awesome as soon as I sat down outside. The feel of this place is very laid back and chill. read more

First time here and it was a pleasant experience. The bartenders were nice and made the experience nice. We got a couple drinks and they were good. In total we got 4 drinks (3 mixed drinks and 1 beer) and our tab was $39. They have a good happy hour and they have daily specials on food too. We didn't get food cause it was late but we will be back to eat. read more

Point 22 Tavern - Bar is small, but still fun :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Im gonna try something new! Aaaaand it sucks. Garbage chain restaurants seem to be the thing in Phoenix! Restaurant: Located in a developing part of Mesa. My family and I were excited to try something new and we were all equally disappointed. Sat outside and heard nothing but extremly loud music or dudebros cheering a sports team. Tables were all wobbly and chairs were horrible. Menu: generic bar food. Deep fried and grilled. Kept asking for a drink menu and was constantly told to go inside and look at some chalkboard. Food: Disappointing at best. Burger patties obviously cooked from frozen. Service: slow and unhelpful. Never ordered a beer because no beer list could be provided. Overall: This place is hot garbage. I'm sick of these dogshit chain restaurants popping up in every developing area and business park in the East Valley. read more

Gluten free eater. Great local spot. Was busy in a Sunday evening. The menu looks attractive. Lots of good sounding food. I ordered a spiked lemonade. And to my surprise it wasn't sweet. It wasn't a favorite but it was good. For my main I ordered a southwest burger with no bun. I'm a fan of fresh jalapeños. Got it medium cook with fries. Unfortunately the menu doesn't mention its beer bartered. So I ordered a replacement of sweet potatoes that my waiter said was gf. My burger was more well done rather than medium. Overall the burger was good. Nothing too fancy. The sweet potato fries were dusted with sugar. A little too sweet for me but they is preference. I wouldn't make a return trip here only because I don't live near here. But for a local joint I think it fits the bill. read more

This place is a locally owned new restaurant and bar. Clean and welcoming on the inside. A few seats at the bar and plenty of seating inside and out. All the food is made from scratch. I have enjoyed everything we have tried. nachos, wings, cheesw curds, sweet potato fries are THE BEST, pork sandwich, etc. All delicious! It's a busy parking lot but I've always found a spot nearby. Added bonus is Talia works there! We love her & her suggestions! They are also opening a new location this summer where Parrish was! Very excited to have this place close to home. Right off Ellsworth & 24 - near Quik Trip. read more

Small place with a nice outdoor patio. Came just before closing and sat out on the patio. Very friendly staff. Waiter made a suggestion for beer, Sonoran Amber, which was really good. I ordered the southwestern burger without the fresh Jalapeño. Comes with fries. Excellent hamburger! Would definitely order this again. They close at 10pm which is early for a tavern, so plan appropriately. read more

I came to this restaurant because I was in the neighborhood and I was amazed on how delicious the food was. The staff was friendly and the environment was cozy, especially for being a sports kinda bar. I had a great experience. The grilled salmon was not dry grilled perfectly and the steak in the Philly was pure meat, no fat, no tanginess. Bread was also nice and soft. I would for sure come again! read more

Delicious Guiness stew and best queso and chips appetizer we ever had. Service was friendly and attentive We were from out of town and it was st Patrick's day so it was very busy. Seating was good , a little tight when busy but not bad. Their bar seemed small for a tavern but may be fine for the area. I would definitely return if in the area and try more things! read more

Love this place! Great atmosphere and delicious food! And the service is above and beyond! So glad to have this in the neighborhood!

Wow ! Surprise surprise! This is a great spot! Not only was the service great the food was better than expected. We just came to have a beer and lo and behold the sandwich my daughter ordered was so delicious we wanted to eat it all so so so good!!! read more

Good variety on their menu and service was good. Convenient location for those of us in Queen Creek.

Great service- friendly waitress and food servers. Generous side salads, hot crispy fries and onion rings. Perfect juicy Rueben. Hamburger a little dry and a dollar extra for every topping. Unfortunately toppings were scant, e.g. 2-3 onion slivers. My Buffalo chicken salad had lukewarm chunks of soggy fried chicken but was rectified with a generous amount of fresh and hot albeit a bit long after first served. Reasonable price point- place was hopping. Ambience basic. Recommend trying it out. ~EG Eats read more

This post is not meant to be malicious, I 100% support local small business. However, I just don't understand the hype with this place. I think the high ratings are just because there's simply not a lot of other restaurant competition around that's not a chain. I've been here 5 times and I will say that the service and people here are always helpful and great. The food on the other hand is like upscale hospital food. No presentation, no stand outs on the menu, nothing spectacular. I understand that this is a "tavern" but you can still strive to serve better quality or better tasting food or maybe lower the prices to match the quality of food. Overall, the people are great but I so badly want this place to do better when it comes to their menu and what they're serving. Even if they cut down their items on the menu by 80% but served 6-8 really good items I'd be stoked. Ambiance is just ok, it's a tavern, I wouldn't expect much regardless. I just want better food read more

From the moment we walked in to the presentation of our bill, our experience was awesome. We had the steak strips appetizer. The Rueben sandwich and the Patty melt. We had cocktails and even ordered an extra steak strips appetizer to go. It was delicious and we will be back. Also very comfortable atmosphere and the service and bartender were also amazing. read more

We have always had great service every time we have gone to Point 22 Tavern, but this time it was even better! Sara was our waitress tonight and really set the bar high. She was attentive and friendly, but more importantly she was observant. Our food was brought out by someone else and the plate that had the chicken tenders had the ranch spilled. Unfortunately my son doesn't like anything on the tenders so we tried to wipe them off. Sara offered to replace them but we turned the offer down. About 10 minutes later she arrived with a new plate of tenders with the comment that she wanted my son to enjoy his dinner. If you are looking for a place to eat, or sit and have a drink in the southeast Mesa/Queen Creek area, I'd recommend Point 22 Tavern! read more

Great neighborhood bar with amazing service! I've been for breakfast and dinner and had completely different experiences both times. The scramble wasn't amazing and my drink was barely filled to the top. Went back for dinner and soft pretzels were delicious with an amazing beer selection! The parking can be a bit tricky, but I love the patio so it's worth the hassle. Hoping we continue to see an improvement as time goes on. read more

Food is very good here, French fries are a must! Patio seating is always comfortable, seating indoors can be a little loud at times. Service is decent and we visited on Mother's Day and Noah our server gave the mom's a rose, nice touch. read more

Very new and super busy. That's a good thing. We traveled out this way as we knew the owner through other businesses. Cozy atmosphere and nice. All the severs were amazing and super nice . Best French dip I have had in a long time. You may need to wait, but it goes quick. They need some outside chairs to sit on while waiting. read more

Went here four us. Real estate agent gave us 100 dollar gift card. We all like everything we got. Meatloaf was great as was chicken fried steak had burger and wrap ordered fries chrispy well done and they were really good most places won't cook em well done like I like they do. First time it was free from out real estate agent and was really good but we been back multiple times now and it's cooler now we sit outdoors eat and have couple drinks. Seems like you get what you pay for. It's not cheap but you get good food the way you order it. It's close to the house and is and will be place we come back too read more

Excellent service! Food even better! Was greeted quickly and manager took care of us due to busy time of day. Wow! Best Nachos in town seriously- nice kick with fresh and high quality foods! Good beer, and happy hour too! Had burgers, zucchini and nachos- everything was above par! We will be back and it's our new regular burger place! read more

I tried this place for breakfast, and was really disappointed. We ordered the California benedict and French toast. The French toast was pathetic. Super thin, cheap bread, which tasted funny. The California Benedict was also strange with honey ham, an untoasted (chewy) English muffin, and a hard egg (poached, but overcooked with a hard yolk). My son enjoyed his breakfast burrito and said the salsa was good. Service was excellent, but the kitchen was slow. Overall a very blah experience. read more

Excellent fresh new tavern in an area that needs more local restaurants! Food is fresh and service is very good. The atmosphere is new and modern and the whole area is poppin!

Food was not great. Service was bad. Not a single person in there was friendly. The vibe is weird. Will not go back.

Good food, good vibe, good service. Give it a try. They have outdoor seating too with misters.

Got the Cajun dry rub wings & had them also grilled and they were delicious! My husband loves their point 22 lemonade as well. I've tried their fish & chips and they were also nice & crisp with good flavor. read more

Normally, this word be more like a 1-2 but there's two factors to take into consideration, so please bear with me. I will be giving this place another try, but I wanna wait a month or so for them to break in their NEWness. 1st off it's a brewery so people come here for the alcohol. I'm not much of an alcoholic, but I will occasionally drink. That being said, we only tried a couple girly drinks, and they were pretty strong but good. If you like strong girly drinks, this will be a good place to visit. 2nd this is where it went bad.... There were 4 of us and all 4 of our meals or wrong. We also noticed other tables got their food before we did that came in, sat down and ordered long after we did. The waitress didn't come around to make sure we were OK or need anything. The good news, a good friend of mine actually works here, and I know how much she cares and does a phenomenal job at waitressing. She had stopped by the table, we spoke to her. She desperately try to fix it, the manager came over and come to our entire meal to include the drinks. Like I said, normally, this would be a 1 review & I would never come back, but I do know these 2 members of the team really care & I think after they work out some of the being new bugs, I'm going to give it another chance. I appreciate the manager comping our meals and my friend's attempt to fix another waitresses mistakes. Stay tuned, hopefully the updated review will be better than the last. read more

My family and I was sat right away, immediate drink order was taken. Service was excellent through entire meal, food was excellent, most impressive were portion and quality. Many TVs to watch sports or local news. We will return or make it our Friday night happy hour place. Thank you Ryan and staff for the total experience. read more

So we decided to try this spot as a midday break. Very quaint spot that is not too big or too small. The portions were massive and my wife and I should have shared! The service is a team effort so no waiting to "see your server" pretty good beer selection and the wine pour is way more than 6oz! If in the Eastmark or sports complex and need a break go check it out. read more
