3/21/26 We returned and it is as good as we remember. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect for our date night. The ONLY thing we would give a 3 star was the prosciutto wrapped pears. The pears were closer to an apple with a crunch and had almost no pear flavor. Everything else was an absolute 5 star, the charred carrots and steak skewers being our favorites. But the bread was amazing too! Definitely, a must go! read more

We had never been here so when we planned it for my husband's birthday last night, we didn't think we would need reservations. We called just to be sure and were told the only place they had for our party of six was on their couches. We took it and when we got to the restaurant, I was worried about my elderly parents eating over a coffee table and expressed my concerns with the owner who was hosting at the time. She so kindly managed to move some reservations around, (they were full), in order to seat us at a table. That meant the world to me, and for my parents!! The old fashioned cocktails were incredible and the food--oh my goodness!!! Our party of six shared about 5-6 options and each one was absolutely fabulous!!! We all were plenty full and greatly enjoyed our evening there! They also had a one man live music performer, I didn't catch his name but he was a perfect choice for the venue and ambience! We will definitely be back often, and are so thrilled to have a place to go for a dressy and romantic, yet laid back, evening!! Can't wait to try more food options--it all sounded amazing!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!! read more

So this place we stumbled on thinking it was a bit more sports at than what it is. This is NOT a place to watch the game, this is however an amazing spot for a date! Scratch made food and warm hospitality at its finest, you won't be disappointed if you stay and eat you WILL NOT be disappointed! Possibly some of if not the top French fries I've ever had. The flight which they don't do on Friday/Saturday cus it takes up to much kitchen space so if this is what your craving get after it and the rosemary ones blew me away. So so so good! Wings were also very good but the fries stole the show for me. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items Jeff thanks for the suggestions and walking us through the process! read more

We have always had great service and delicious meals(Tapas)! Owners Jeff and Angie are always there to make sure your experience is perfect. Looking forward to taking friends there soon! read more

Quench Taps and Tapas - Gluten-Free Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I really had such high hopes for this place. It's a beautifully decorated restaurant with a great outdoor patio. The food was beautifully presented and tasted good (not great). The menu offers plenty of choices, and we appreciated that they include gluten-free options. They also make it clear they don't serve condiments since every dish is "perfectly seasoned" -- an interesting touch, though a bit rigid. The real issue was the service. From the start, the staff repeatedly emphasized that they couldn't accommodate groups over eight, however, they eventually sat our larger group at two nearby tables. Our server, came across as condescending. When we asked about pulling over a couple of chairs, she refused, saying the patio would fill up (it never did). When we expressed our disappointment, she replied that not everyone "understands their concept." (And yes, take a look at the restaurant's previous replies to reviews -- they reflect a similar tone to what we experienced.) For me, good food and friendly hospitality go hand in hand. Unfortunately, this place missed the mark. read more

We came here for a date night and it was amazing! They can make basically everything gluten free. We had Rosemary fries, bbq wings, charcuterie board, gluten free bread basket, and strawberry buñuelos for dessert. We also had a beer flight and sangria to drink. I was surprised by how big the portions were and definitely over-ordered for the two of us and our table was pretty small for all the food. It was all delicious! We especially liked the fries, wings, and bread basket. We like the cinnamon butter the bread came with, but we didn't care for the hatch chili dip or the strawberry cream cheese one. The service was great we will definitely be back! read more

This has been bookmarked for almost a year and my fiancé surprisingly took us here for lunch! Came in around 3pm and it wasn't busy at all so we were able to get seated right away. Since we had our puppy with us, we asked for outside seating. Weather has been just perfect for outside dining anyhow and I appreciate how it's dog friendly here. We got the meatballs and the Chefs Special charcuterie board. Both were OUTSTANDING! Presentation too pretty to eat, haha! The meatballs were cooked perfectly and the sauce blended with it well. The charcuterie board filled me up...from sweet, to sour, to savory; I enjoyed it all :) Service 5/5 Food 5/5 For both orders, we spent about $55 + tip read more

Angie, Jeff and Cheryl are amazing!!! Truly the best dining experience I've ever had! I went through chemo 3 years ago and I don't enjoy food quite the same due to less ability to taste. However, this was truly the most satisfying meal I have ever had in my life! Truly memorable! Please come experience the freshness, quality and kindness that Quench has to offer! read more

Luckily found this lil place at the end of the Frys plaza. Amazing ambiance, great staff and service all around. Great beverage selection although we had craft beers still good selections! We made it to happy hour & the HH selections were fun! We had the meat & cheese plate which was pretty filling for two but we were intrigued by the goat cheese & sun dried tomato plate so we had that too! So many flavors!! Presentation was 100% - flavors were 100%. I have a nut allergy and they served the almonds separately. Waitress was so friendly and fun. Told us about live music nights. Cannot wait to go back. read more

We love this place for a chill vibe and bougie cocktail to get away from the kids every couple months. Tapas style - perfectly sized portions and we get 2-3 things. Family owned and you can tell the chef takes pride in the food. read more

Good food, nice selection of drinks and enjoy the Friday night music. Service is good. Only downside is the low couches which aren't very comfortable and awkward when trying to stand. read more

Continue to have amazing service, thank you Cheryl, and award worthy food and cocktails. Chef Angie ensures everything that leaves her kitchen is presented perfectly and beautifully, and her flavors are always delicious. You have to try things that are not your normal go-to food the get a full appreciation for what her and "the boys" do back in the kitchen. Be patient, this is not Denny's. Everything has a personal touch. Cheryl is the finest server, bar none, in the entire Valley. Head there soon and you'll see why we call Quench "our Cheers". read more

The owners are really nice and have great attention to detail as far as the food, the specialty drinks and specials. Treat yourself and check this place out!!!! Diane S. read more

A friend and I visited on a Saturday afternoon, there was one other table which was odd but didn't give it much thought. We asked the server if we could add a meatball to our order so we had 4 instead of 3...answer was no. Ordered the flatbread with no onions, Server again declined. She explained that everything is made in the morning and that there are no changes allowed to anything and suggested we pick the onions off. She asked if we had food allergies which seemed odd after saying no changes to the menu could be made. I am always looking for thoughtful and fresh environments, this is not it. The food we ordered was okay, not amazing. The server was polite. Being in a strip mall is a vibe that I have seen done well, this spot misses the mark. Don't like onions? Too bad. Won't return. read more

An experience in refinement--fresh, exquisite flavors crafted by a chef who turns gluten-free dining into an art form. Exceptional cocktails and service!

We came in for a drink and stood at the desk and were ignored for several minutes with an employee just a few feet away from us then told they were closed at 840pm. I've never had such a cold and rude reception in my experience. read more

Met friends for lunch on a quiet Saturday afternoon. A few tables were in use but we were sat towards the back which was nice & intimate. Candace was our server and was ok. Efficient but not overly friendly. There was a mix up with one of our orders going to another table but not sure that was her fault since she hadn't delivered it. I mostly enjoyed the honey garlic shrimp served with cold mango white rice for $17. Wish the rice was served hot (menu said cold) and the mango was a bit more tender but the shrimp were delicious! Their menu is extensive, from shared appetizers, heartier type meals and desserts. The drink menu was two full pages and all looked beautiful. They added a 18% tip for a table 5 instead of the usual 6 which is not typical but their policy. Not sure this is my kind of place (picky pallet) but overall it was enjoyable. read more

It was busy for a Friday night, but the live music kept us distracted. While busy, we never felt ignored. The menu offered several interesting choices. My wife went for the Carne con Frites (the horseradish sauce sold it), while I tried the special fig and apple salad offered that night. I added chicken, which was decent, but it tasted as if it came from a dirty, overly-charred grill. Despite that, the salad was delicious overall. My wife's steak was tasty, but salty enough where we had to save the rest for later. Eaten cold the next day, the dill flavors exploded on the palate! Looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Driven by it a few times, finally stopped in. Ambiance and atmosphere were great. Upscale local pub vibe. Attentive and friendly service. Decent local beer selection but I would call it more if a wine bar vibe. I tried the deconstructed French dip (a flat bread) and it was excellent! I'll be back and I would recommend! read more

This place rocks!!! Their charcuterie board for 2 presented itself like a Disney star!! It had so many varieties of quality meats, cheeses, jam, and delicious spice blends to make everyone's charcuterie board dreams come true! The blackened shrimp in mango sauce was bueno too! So much flavor!! I also loved downing my tapas with their sparkling cobbler cocktail! So refreshing!! We were the only ones in the restaurant around 3pm on a weekday, so of course, service was spectacular!! The restaurant is small and cozy, so if you want that family feeling, you'll definitely get it here! I was super happy & lucky to find this rare gem in Surprise AZ!! P.S. if u need to be gluten free, the chef here has your back! She's gluten-free friendly, and can make many of the menu items gluten-free at your request!! read more

We met friends here on a Tuesday afternoon. There was plenty of available seating when we arrived and they had already grabbed a table with very comfortable chairs. Quench presents a cool vibe and will hopefully be a mainstay in this area for a long long time! I loved everything about the place! I started with a coffee old fashioned... and wow, it was spectacular! My next cocktail was the Clover Club... and I would highly recommend that one as well - a gin cocktail with a frothy egg white topping! We ends up ordering a ton of food - the charcuterie board (it was packed and was absolutely excellent), their specialty wings (nice and crispy and full of flavor), carne con frites (fantastic steak fries), and the bacon-wrapped dates (simply wonderful pairing, presentation, and prep on these)! We thoroughly enjoyed the food, the drinks. And the excellent service as well! And for people who need to avoid gluten, perhaps the best part of all is that most anything on the menu can be ordered gluten-free!!! Yay!!

Amazing food and drinks. The key lime pie martini was amazing!!! The patio was so cute and was a fun place to chat.

We've been coming here semi regularly since they first opened. Watch them improve dramatically as far as service goes. Now they have singer on Friday and Saturday who does a great job of being kind of a background thing not prevent preventing you from talking and still enjoy enjoying the company you're hanging with. Very comfortable place with lounge type chairs and sofas. Pretty good selection of wines and beers. The tapas that we have tried, which has been a lot of different things, has been really good every single time The current favorite is the poutine. The poutine is maybe one of the best ones I've had in America. Definitely recommend it. Canadians might feel otherwise but it's pretty awesome. The spicy edamame has a great little sauce with it as well. Glad to see they're finding their niche and glad the place is open a little bit later now. Hope it continues to just get better. But definitely worth your time to check it out. Prices maybe slightly high but that is also just what it is now a days. read more

I came here with a Friend to catch up. We came in at 4 on a Friday with a reservation. I love anywhere that allows reservations! I was sat right away and was greeted by Rubi. She told me the specials and recommended the Pearly Leagal cocktail which was delicious! I also had the cocktail "a stone's throw" that was perfect and fruity and very refreshing. My friend had the chardonnay and really enjoyed it. We shared the charcuterie for 2 and ordered stuffed mushrooms... We ended up getting the sauteed mushrooms and our server realized the mistake and brought the stuffed mushrooms as well. I have to admit, the garlicky sauteed mushrooms were waaaay better in my opinion. We also ordered a crustini bread and that was perfect to dip in the garlic butter from the mushrooms. Everyone we encountered was amazing and we will absolutely come back. Thank you for a beautiful evening read more

The food was decent and our server was friendly, which we appreciated. However, the experience was uncomfortable due to the restaurant's policy: "WE ALSO ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE STROLLERS AND CAR SEATS AND DO NOT OFFER HIGHCHAIRS OR BOOSTERS." We were surprised and disappointed that there were no options for young children or children with disabilities. Our 2.5-year-old has cerebral palsy and is unable to sit independently, so he had to sit on my lap for the entire meal. It made the visit stressful and physically uncomfortable for both of us. While I understand that some places are more adult-focused, a little flexibility or accessibility consideration would have gone a long way. Families with young children or kids with disabilities deserve to feel welcome too. read more
