It is a little pricey, however, it's worth the cost. As I mentioned, everything is healthy and made fresh. You can't get that without paying a bit extra Their bread is so good, the chutney is awesome, their little side salads are so tasty. I haven't tried anything here that I have not loved. They are a small husband and wife run business, which is always great to see. They are very friendly people who clearly love what they do. There's limited seating indoors, as it's inside Barnone, but you can easily find places to sit outdoors as well.

As a health food vegan, I am always on the lookout for food like this: whole foods/plant-based, including some oil-free options. Their whole menu reads like a list of my favorite food buzzwords: buckwheat, lentil cauliflower scramble, sunflower seed meat, local fermented sauerkraut, freshly milled Sonoran wheat; tempeh, sourdough, homemade seeded bread, homemade cashew milk, etc. etc. It was legitimately hard to decide what to get. I went with the baked(!) strawberry banana oat buckwheat pancakes. Super tasty, and a generous portion. I also couldn't resist an oil-free sunbutter cookie (with its wacky bluegreen tinge that was apparently from the sunflower seeds) and also loved the cold brew coffee with cashew milk.

I was meeting a friend for lunch while in Mesa and I am so ecstatic that I found Steadfast Diner. The diner is quaint and cute. Just big enough for approximately 8-10 people to dine in. There is however, a large patio for outside dining. I had never been in a diner before, so this was a great first experience. I believe one of the owners waited on me and my friend. He was very kind and helpful with making suggestions about the nenu. I orderd the Steadfast Double Smashburger and was not disappointed. This burger was so amazing. I love a good grass-fed smashburger and this hit the spot. Hot off the grill and perfectly cooked, I ate it slowly just to savor the flavors. The bun was very soft and light. All the toppings were fresh and amped this burger up. I ordered a side of onion rings which were crispy crunchy good. I could tell these were homemade and not the frozen kind. I live approximately 30 miles away, but for this farm-to-table goodness, I will make it my personal goal to frequent this diner to try more off the menu.

The food was great. I ordered the apple salad and it was tasty. I'm giving 4 stars because I ordered the affogato for dessert and was surprised it was served the way it was - it was just a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a hole for the espresso. It's like they took the literal definition of an affogato and didn't put any extra thought into it. But it still tasted good enough. There is a parking lot. The location is right next to the park and library, so it's a great place to walk around after eating. Service was good.

Fast drinks and just as fast food. We got the cubano diablo w/ Mac salad as the side, potstickers, and coconut shrimp. The Cuban was everything I was craving. Soo delicious! Pasta salad tasted like pasta salad, again, not complaining. Shrimp was my next favorite, the pineapple sauce and edamame hummus was the perfect combo. Potstickers were ok, I would eat them again but probably wouldn't order them myself. I do love the cabbage under both apps. Will be back!

You can dine in at a few booths within the restaurant, or you can pick up/order take-out at the bar. We did take out for my family and we tried the Big Kahuna bowl with shrimp (which my husband couldn't say enough good things about), the Surf City Philly (had a great ghost pepper cheese that had just a perfect amount of spice) with a side of the macaroni salad, and we bought the Homemade Mac and Cheese from the Keiki (kid) menu which my son loved! There were so many things on the menu that we would love to try, so we will definitely be back!!!

Pita Jungle has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years, and after countless visits, I can…read moreconfidently say this place knows what it's doing. 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. Just fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and consistency that keeps people coming back. Thirty years later, I'm still coming back. That says more than any five star rating ever could.

We kicked things off with my all-time favorite--the cilantro jalapeño hummus with gluten-free pita. Yum!! I love that they warm the GF pita so it actually feels like the "real" deal...such a small touch that makes a big difference! For my meal, I stuck with my go-to: the chicken shawarma bowl. It never disappoints--gluten-free, super fresh, and packed with bold, delicious flavor in every bite. Our server was incredibly helpful and lightning fast, which made the whole experience even better. Safe to say... I'll happily be back next Thursday!

First time eating here. I got the teriyaki chicken. I'm giving it a 3/5 star, mostly due to the…read moreservice rendered. The food was actually decent though. The teriyaki chicken tasted more like an Asian dish than a Hawaiian dish. But the chicken and rice were good and the teriyaki sauce was good too. My gripe is about two things: 1. Asking for extra sauce 2. Odd service When I received my order, I asked for extra teriyaki sauce and the lady looked and responded to me a bit rudely. Almost felt like me asking for 1 extra teriyaki sauce packet was going to bankrupt their business lol. That's weird and honestly puts a weird vibe on the experience here. The odd service comes from them packing up my order "to go". I never asked for it to go. They never asked me if I was taking it to go. They just packed it up to go. So I began wondering why and then started noticing things. I started watching other customers come in and order. Well, just like it seems like every food spot asks for a "tip" nowadays, I noticed that the customers who chose to tip them (for who knows why ‍) received their orders on a plate to eat in the restaurant. I noticed two other customers who chose "no tip" received their orders in "to go" bags. When I payed for my order, I also chose not to pay a tip because there's simply no reason to pay a tip for pick up places like this. And I also received a "to go" bag. Maybe this is all in my head or just coincidence, but it would be weird to see this happening to everyone who chooses to tip or not to tip, during the 15-20min eating time I had there. So due to these weird things, that's why I chose 3/5 stars. I've never seen another business question a customer asking for more sauce not ever seen them take customers not tipping and personal vendetta's. ‍

The first time I went, I felt like I was immersed in a local joint. I tried their fried chicken sandwich and the home fries. The chicken sandwich was covered in a teriyaki sauce and was delicious. I do wish it came with lettuce or pickles. But it's literally just the lone chicken patty. Add in the home fries. They're like potato discs, fried, and seasoned. They were perfectly fried. Similar to skinny potato wedges. But SALTY as if I swallowed some ocean water. The second time we tried out their shrimp plates and salads. The shrimp were far superior, plump, easy peel, and amazing. Highly recommend! I also asked for the home fries to be less seasoned and they were also beautifully fluffy and crispy. I enjoyed sitting outside, eating some of the freshest food, and left FULL! Home-like local service, great for everyone.

I picked up a quick lunch at the drive thru, and opted for the Caprese Salad Combo with the Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I like options, and you have that here, with a choice of protein for your salad. I chose grilled chicken, and it was perfect. Seasoned well and not over or undercooked. It made the salad very filling. The portion size was enough for 2 meals! I'm a sucker for blueberry, anything so that lemonade was just calling my name. It was very tasty and the perfect drink on a hot summer day in the valley! Service was excellent, and the prices are extremely affordable. I had to do a double take to make sure they got my order right. They sure did! If you're looking for a healthier option and don't have a lot of time, I highly suggest Salad and Go! Your wallet and stomach will thank you! I'll be back to try more things on their menu.

Salad and Go always had the highest quality ingredients with the lowest possible prices. That's long gone, imho. This morning, here at the Queen Creek store was the most recent example of this. I ordered 3 breakfast burritos, which only keep going up in price, only to find that the fillings tasted like day-old eggs, bacon, and meat. We ate the food but not with much enjoyment. The tortillas were fresh, and the iced coffees were fine. The staff were friendly, service was fast, orders accurate, but I don't see myself returning for a while.

Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

"Stack It High, Watch It Fry at YC's"…read more YC's Mongolian Grill in Gilbert feels less like a restaurant and more like an Arizona tradition. Established more than 30 years ago, YC's has built a loyal following across Valley locations including Tempe, Scottsdale, and Gilbert. The place was packed when our party visited, full of families, regulars, and longtime fans, which made sense when my husband shared that their Tempe location was his go-to spot back when he was a college student at ASU. It's casual, lively, and nostalgic -- the kind of place that clearly holds memories for many locals. YC's is known for its signature "bowl" concept, where you grab a bowl and build your own meal from a wide selection of noodles, meats, fresh vegetables, and countless sauces ranging from sweet to spicy. Stack it high, mix what you like, then watch your creation cooked right in front of you on a massive sizzling grill -- part dinner, part show. The food comes out hot, fresh, and simply yummy, exactly how you designed it. If you haven't been to YC's, give it a try -- build a bowl, stay awhile, and you'll see why people keep coming back with a satisfied tummy.
