There are honestly nothing but amazing things to say about Flower Child. After finally checking it…read moreout for the first time a few months ago, it instantly jumped to the top of my list for go-to spots. It's rare to find a kitchen that is completely focused on health-conscious food while delivering absolutely incredible, bold flavors, but they nail it every time. Favorite dishes: The food here completely changes the game when it comes to clean eating: The Sweet Potato Fries: A total masterpiece. They aren't even deep-fried, yet they have this perfect texture and rich flavor that fools you into thinking they are. They come served with a yummy, fresh homemade ranch dressing that pairs perfectly. It honestly blows my mind how good these are. The Mother Earth Bowl: This dish is proof that healthy food doesn't have to be boring. It makes prioritizing your veggies and clean protein completely effortless, with zero feeling of sacrifice. All the distinct flavors come together so perfectly that I fall in love with it all over again every single time I order it. The Broccoli Pesto: Such a clever and creative twist on a classic. It was so delicious that I actually figured out how to recreate it at home, and now the whole family is obsessed with it. The Elite Group Dining Experience One of the best things about this menu is how satisfying it is for a crowd. No matter what anyone in our party orders, everyone leaves completely full and satisfied. In fact, the portions are so generous that you should definitely plan on having leftovers--there is easily enough for two full meals. Plus, because the ingredients are so clean, it's the one place where I never feel an ounce of guilt about going out to eat after leaving. Inclusivity and Value: The kitchen is exceptionally accommodating, offering fantastic vegan and gluten-free options that taste like main attractions rather than afterthoughts. On top of that, the pricing is great for the quality you get, and they even offer a highly appreciated military discount. Space, Patio, & Family-Friendly: The vibe inside is beautiful--very open, bright, and airy, with fresh flowers on the tables that add a wonderful touch to the ambience. It is also incredibly kid-friendly; they thoughtfully provide crayons and coloring pages right by the drink station to keep the little ones entertained. Outside of the blazing summer months, we also absolutely love having lunch out on their cute patio. Because it's such a popular spot, though, you definitely want to have a game plan for your visit. The parking lot and tables fill up fast during peak hours. To guarantee a seamless experience, go during off-peak times. For dinner, we love heading in right around 5 PM to beat the rush, which guarantees easy parking and a great seat.

Update as of 10/11/26: I recently discovered that now,…read moreFlower Child has eliminated the Chicken Yakisoba Noodles, which was a second go-favorite. This is yet another disappointment that has now forced me to never want to dine here again. I even deleted the app, too. These two main dishes were the reason why I would go to Flower Child. I hope the owner realizes this mistake but honestly they don't care. People don't care about anything these days, they just make poor decisions while claiming it's beneficial, and for Flower Child, this looks bad on the restaurant when their most popular dishes are eliminated from the menu, while they push the bull**** excuse of periodically changing their menu. And truth be told, the other items offered on their menu are not good and not appealing whatsoever. That said, this was it for me. I came, I enjoyed the two dishes while they were available but now I bow out and leave for good.

Came in today for my favorite Arcadia wrap and frozen strawberry lemonade but also decided to try…read morethe new menu item of Mac and cheese! Whoa! Just whoa!! It was absolutely delicious, warm cheesy and might be one of my new favorites! It can be topped with chicken, bacon or jalapeños which might be an option to add over the next few times. But today I went with basic. Give it a try and see what you think??

It is not a sit down…read morelocation ( I don't believe any of them are), it is just drive thru or window walk up, but they do take your order and customize it however you would like. The new chicken is a game changer! It is excellent! If you're looking for something that is fresh and fast that won't break the bank, this is a place to go. I can get a full lunch and drink for $10. My personal favorite is the autumn harvest, but I have yet to have a bad salad from there, I like them all.

I had a good experience at CAVA. I like their food options and their variety on beverages is fun…read more It was nice to try all the options. My favorite one was the cucumber mint, and then the tangerine. It is nice that they offer lentils as base, besides rice or salad. I had half lentils, half rice and I did enjoy my food. The build your own option offers the chance to try new ingredients and dressings... the only problem is that I liked my dish and I am not sure if I can replicate it, LOL... Overall a good experience. Service was friendly, plenty of parking... just the fan thing by the door feels loud at the beginning but I guess I got used to it.

I absolutely love Cava, and have been to them in many locations and states. The food and service…read moreat this location is standard and when I have visited this store it's been relatively clean. My frustration comes from the service here, while they are outwardly nice, they are also overly pushy to drive your meal's price up. For me, it's the small things that really shine brightest, for example, when you ask for a drink to automatically give you a large without asking. Due to this locations stocking issue we had to pay for small drinks because they were "out of water cups". I fail to understand why it is on us for this location's stocking issue (which I can say is prevalent with a lot of Cava's I've been to, but that's another thing).

I was really surprised with this new discovery! I ordered a…read moreGreek salad with chicken, and while it looked small, it was exactly the perfect size, and had some great flavors.

After getting my food & opening up my sauce I saw a sticker that was inside the sauce. I also paid for extra onions & roasted carrots (which used to be full sized carrot slices but are now just small shaved pieces) in my bowl and there was mainly broccoli & Brussels sprouts. I was really disappointed with my service and my food today, and I can't stop back by the location to get it corrected because the time it took to get my food used most of my lunch break, not to mention when I had the system print my receipt it came out blank. I'll attach photos of all of this. For $20, today was most definitely a let down.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and had another great experience. I ordered the Sourdough Chicken…read moresandwich sub cripsy chicken, and my husband tried the new Farmer's Best Combo with fried zucchini. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we've come to expect from this restaurant. One thing I really appreciate is the Farmer Boxes. Including a drink at a lower price makes them an excellent value, especially for a quick lunch. It's nice to find a place that's consistently delicious, reasonably priced, and delivers great service every time. We'll definitely be back!

We were in the area Saturday afternoon & decided to grab a quick lunch here. This was our first…read moretime trying Farmer Boys. I thought it was a sit down restaurant, but it's more fast food. You place your order at the counter, & they bring it out to you. The girl behind the counter was friendly & sweet. She was also the person who brought our food to us. Hubby got the California BLT. I got the crispy chicken sandwich & made it a combo for hubby & I to share. For a side we got the onion rings. Hubby real liked his sandwich. The ice tea was really good as well. My chicken sandwich was good. We didn't like the onion rings very much. You get 4 large onion rings. The batter is thin. However, it was falling off the onion ring. The reason for only 4 stars is due to the price of the chicken sandwich. It was almost $17 for the sandwich alone. Plus a charge for the onion rings & an additional charge for the iced tea. I don't see us coming back here. There isn't one close to our house & it's too expensive.

I drive by The Perfect Pear Bistro every single day, and in turn, every single day I think that I…read moreneed to try it out. The "perfect" opportunity finally presented itself when a friend and I were planning a catch-up lunch date and looking for a good place to eat, so I suggested The Perfect Pear Bistro. Despite meeting for a late lunch, the Pear was packed. But the restaurant is roomy, and we had no problem getting a seat. My friend and I are both plant-based, so we were super pleased with the separate vegan menu. I had the Autumn Harvest quinoa bowl (delish!), and my friend had the vegan tacos with sweet potato fries as her side. I am very picky about sweet potato fries, but I tried one here, and it was crispy and seasoned perfection. I will not skip out on the sweet potato fries next time! I really appreciate that The Perfect Pear Bistro is locally owned and uses fresh, healthy ingredients. The servers are also very friendly and helpful. I expect this place to become a staple spot for me!

Hubby & I had dinner here last night. We arrived a little before 5:00…read more We were greeted & seated right away. It's a nice restaurant inside. It was calming & relaxing. Hubby ordered a lager beer on draft. I had red sangria. Hubby iced his beer. The sangria was good. However, the sangria was definitely not worth the price for the size. It was $9 during happy hour. Hubby had the Quad City Melt sandwich (without tomato) with regular fries. I had G-Ma's Mac. Hubby said his sandwich was okay. He expected it to have a lot of flavor, but it did not. He couldn't taste the four cheese blend or the chipotle aioli. My mac was good, but for the price, I was disappointed. The bowl is very shallow. Our server was very friendly & sweet. Just no reason for us to come back. We can get good food & drinks at so many other places for less money.

Recently, I started a therapy in this plaza and noticed this location. I fancied a gyro, so I…read morefigured I would stop in. Typical chain type Greek restaurant, so nothing too fancy but clean interior is inviting. What I Ordered: - Beef/Lamb gyro: Love they put French fries in the actual gyro! It had great flavor, and was so big! I only ate half then brought the left overs to a friend. Part of me wishes they had a smaller version. - Fountain Drink: Typical fountain selections and the soda had a good mix of flavor and carbonation. Appreciate the offering of a box when the staff member saw I folded up the remaining in the paper. Easy large enough you could split with someone! I'd definitely return, but likely with someone so we could split to avoid any food waste.

The food was good, but the overall value of the meal didn't meet my expectations. The cleanliness and customer service were definitely positives, but I expected a more substantial portion considering the cost. I may give it another try in the future, but the pricing would make me hesitate to return regularly. Pros: Clean restaurant, friendly service Cons: Small portions for the price, limited overall value for the cost

5.5/10 - Solid, affordable option…read more Tried the Thai Vegan salad here and would definitely order it again. It was tasty and hit the spot without being anything super fancy -- just a solid, reliable choice. What really stood out was the affordability. At around $13, it's reasonably priced for what you get. I used a gift card I'd received, and after this one meal I still had a decent balance left over, which says a lot about the portion-to-price ratio here. Not the most memorable meal I've had, but for a quick, healthy, budget-friendly option, Original ChopShop delivers. I'd come back, especially for that Thai Vegan salad.

Smoke & Grain is such a hidden gem in Gilbert! Don't let the fact that it's attached to a gun club…read morefool you. This restaurant is legitimately fantastic and deserves to be discovered by more people. My husband and I went on a Friday night, and the place was absolutely poppin with a great, lively atmosphere. We split the Ammo Burger with onion rings and the Philly cheesesteak (we added jalapeños, of course!) with fries. Everything was phenomenal. The burger was delicious, the Philly cheesesteak was fantastic, and the fries deserve their own shout-out. They're cooked in beef tallow, and the crisp on them was absolutely perfect. The onion rings were also delicious! They had an amazing beer special while we were there, buy one, get one for $1, which I believe may have been a Labor Day special, so definitely check before you go. But we were more than happy to take advantage of it! One thing I really loved was seeing the chef come out and make his way around the restaurant to say hello and check in with everyone. That always creates such a welcoming, personal vibe and says a lot about a place. Seriously, if you haven't discovered Smoke & Grain yet, put it on your list. Great food, great atmosphere, cold beer, and an all-around fun night out. We will definitely be back!
