This establishment provides a wide variety of menu and drink options. My husband and I both opted for the chicken bacon ranch enchiladas. We chose a side salad to accompany the enchiladas. The salad was fresh and delicious and the enchiladas were tasty, not too spicy. Our read more

The servers are nice but the service is slow. Food is only OK. Many people outside patio being loud and smoking.

Food was okay, nothing special. They added an undisclosed 4% "Svc Charge" to the bill which is just tacky and ruined the experience. Won't go back for that reason. read more

The food was quite good and better than we expected - a friend's son recommended the place and I met another friend there that had a never been there before either so the three of us had a good time I had the vegan burger, my friend had steak salad, and my husband had a wrap and all of us agreed we had a good meal read more

My husband and I come here often. We like sitting outside on the dog friendly patio, with and without our pup. The patio backs up to a park pond filled with ducks and turtles and there is plenty of shade to enjoy the outdoors. We share fried pickles, he loves the burgers, I always get the salmon salad. Everything is fresh and delicious. We've never had bad service here. Laid back chill atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Service was not good took an hour to receive food took 45 mins to reeceive DRINKS 5 mins to receive ranch (ranch had bug in it when handed over) Food was good though! read more

I really liked this place! Our server was super friendly tonight and was very attentive. They did mix up our drink orders but it was soon fixed. I would return. They have live music every Friday and Saturday. read more

We like it here a lot! Feels like a neighborhood bar. The bartender remembered us between coming two times a couple months apart which was really nice. He has been friendly and easy to talk to both times and we like sitting at the bar! Last time we went they had good live music and the game playing which got everyone talking to each other. Just a nice community feel. We got some regular mixed drinks the pornstar margarita which I really liked and the steak sandwich which is soooo good!! Definitely recommend. All around a great place if you live in the area and want to meet people or go anywhere regularly! read more

Open with live music on Fridays at 6pm! I stumbled upon this gem when my friend worked nearby and I was visiting the Spirit of Yoga. Beautiful greenbelt and pond to feed ducks nearby and huge open patio with misters! I highly recommend their Haze IPA (it's a pink one) and their salmon BLT came highly recommend. Staff was friendly, helpful, quick, and generous. Spokes is a great alternative to culinary dropout for me when things are too crowded or I need a waterfront. Definitely a regular here! read more

Service was ok, they forgot dressing for the salad. The Crispy Chicken Salad was mainly all lettuce and too much cheese. The chicken was overcooked and very dry. Four half cherry tomatoes, a pinch of sweet potato crumbles. The kid's quesadilla and grilled cheese had been sitting for a while and was getting hard and not cheesy when served. Bagged shredded cheddar and bagged lettuce should not be in a salad. Very disappointing. this is our second time around and the food has yet to improve. I am a chef and $14 for a Crispy Chicken Salad, I expect more for that price. My name is Dennis Anderson and don't mind changing my review if the food improves for the better. There are many great food establishments around the area to go to. Need to compete with their menu and quality of food or it will go downhill from there. read more

Spokes is a nice restaurant! It looks like a typical and big box place from the outside but the patio area was fun. We opted to take in the beautiful weather on a picnic table outside. Love that there's a small lake and ducks milling around, there were also pigeons flying above which could be startling at times. I've been here once before and sat inside which was fine, but sitting outside was great save for all the cigarette smoke. I ordered cauliflower wings from their happy hour menu, which are lightly fried and come with your choice of dressing (ranch or blue cheese) and wing sauce, and I picked hot. They were good, just wish they were hotter in temperature. And they only came with one carrot stick and two celery stalks, lol. Service was good and attentive, and we enjoyed our time here. read more

Wife and I came here for an appetizer and to check out the Bloody Marys. She ordered a double Bloody Mary and had a 22oz Alaska Amber Beer. Also ordered the Nachos with Quesa cheese and chicken. Nachos were ok but not great. Beer was great. Bloody Mary so so. read more

We ate at Spokes on Sunday evening- arrived around 6:30. The waitress was very friendly... when we could get her attention. We had to flag her down for basic condiments that come with bar food, as well as for drink refills. Also had to flag her down for the check. The food they serve is okay. It's bar food, so it met our expectations. It's the ambiance and service that need attention. Not one empty, dirty plate was picked up until after the check had been paid. They happened to have an open mic while we were there. The musicians were fine- good, actually, but the volume was WAY too loud for dining, so once the music started, one side of the booth couldn't hear the other, and we had to speak directly into the ear of the person sitting next to us. It would've been outstanding at a lower volume. One person in our party said the men's restroom was icky, mentioning the filthy baseboards and generally not clean. This building is kind of unique, and the restaurant has so much potential, but the food and service are average at best, the tiny TVs are mounted way too high, and there's not nearly enough of them for such a big space. We all agreed this wouldn't be the place to go to watch a game. The patio is cute- looks like it's being remodeled, so maybe that's a sign that owners are trying to do better? Hopefully they'll see this review as an opportunity to improve a few things, and it won't be met with defense, as I see several other 2 and 3 star reviews have been. read more

I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing, the people are amazing. Especially Colin. We came here to watch a game and he googled and tried his hardest to find it. He was very nice and hospitable. We will be back for this experience alone. Thank you, Colin. Your energy and vibe is amazing. 5 stars read more

Not really our kind of place. The food was just okay. Happy hour was cheap, but not that great. Fine if you want loud music and to watch the game, but I think there are better places. read more

I've been to Spokes several times in the past year and just love it. The beer and overall drink selection is great, and every drink I've tried has been super tasty. They also have delicious food, including a good number of vegetarian options. The outdoor patio is GREAT...right by a little lake, with a chill vibe. Also pleased with the service...the wait staff and the bartender when we sat at the bar have been friendly, attentive, and pleasantly do not hurry us. The last time I was there Fri. 4/14, we happily happened upon an excellent live musician outside. It was my husband's and my anniversary. While we would usually pick a high-end place for our special day, we both agreed we just wanted a relaxed experience and really wanted to come here. It says a lot to us that we had no regrets. read more

Chicken strips were great on first visit. Chicken enchiladas on second visit had raw corn tortillas, raw sauce that tasted canned, and rice and beans that were below average. Staff was not rude, but, not friendly or welcoming. Place was pretty dead, on both visits, and i don't care for the stmosphere. All the windows made it hot and stuffy inside. ​I had high hopes for the place, but I won't be back. read more

I came here with a friend early on a Friday for lunch. We got to pick our table since we were the only people here. Chose a nice booth, although it was a little snug, but I liked the green light that it had. I ordered what I thought was a quesadilla, but it was really more of a wrap. It was better than expected for bar food. You can tell the food is fresh and cooked to order. Nothing looked like it came out of a box, which is great. My friend had the chicken caesar salad which looked amazing as well. The only drawbacks were that the place was hot. I had to ask the server to turn the air cooler, there were flies bothering us the entire time and the service was slow. Other than that, it was conveniently located, in a beautiful little complex with a pond that had Koi, turtles and ducks. When the weather cools off, I'll be back to sit outside! read more

We've gone here a couple times now for trivia night. Just so you know, placed 1st and 4th :D Their craft beer selection is fantastic with lots of local brews available. They have some fun signature cocktails too. Their menu is fun.... some typical bar fare but less common options too. You can get cauliflower dipped in any of the wing sauces available. They have fried pickles which are super yummy! Beer batter is the best kind :) Great place to just chill, play games, hang out. read more

Everytime I go here, I wonder why there isn't a line out the door. This the best food in Tempe, and the location is amazing -- next to a lake and greenbelt with ducks they have an outdoor patio with misters open to pups (dog friendly). They have a ping pong table inside and a really great list of beer on tap. So the food... I don't even know where to begin. Spokes makes up for everything Pita Jungle falls short on. Not only is Spokes more delicious, healthy and filling, but also unique. This time I got the Salmon BLT. The steak of salmon was like an inch thick, juicy and needed no seasoning. I always get their sweet potato fries, because they are so much better here than anywhere else. Next time I'm going to try the stuffed poblano. I wish I could find food like this to make at home, but it's not really an imposition to have a pint while waiting for some takeout... And let's be real, I can't cook like that. read more

This place has a great ambience and ample, spacious seating areas. What's especially great is the friendly, know-you-by-name service. I highly recommend the happy hour appetizer specials, which are tasty and a great value. My favorites are the fried pickles and fried artichokes, which came with a spicy and unexpected side sauce. They also make enormous waffle fries, which are delicious. read more

Car club has lunch at Spokes today. Large place with a nice outdoor area. Only negative about the place itself was that the music was several tads to loud. I always have a problem when conversation across the table cannot be understood. Granted, my hearing is not what it used to be, but I still like to hear every word that is spoken to me. Other than that, no problems. Server was attentive and handled order very well. Drinks arrive quickly. Once orders were take from all 14 of us, we had about a 10 minute wait until the first batch was brought to the table. The food did come in waves, taking about three of them before everyone had their food. Burgers and sandwiches were the choice of our diners. I had the roasted turkey sandwich on a chibata roll. It was good, the roasted red peppers added a nice touch. Being somewhat used to the large portions served at so many restaurants, I was a bit disappointed at the size of the dishes. While they were tasty they were a bit small for the price. My sandwich, small side of fries and a soda was $17. Spokes is Good, not Great. I would recommend it. read more

The perfect spot to just hang out with some friends on the weekend. My friends and I have repeatedly picked Spokes as our go-to hang out place and spend a few hours with each other. Service is relaxed, which is nice, as we spend time playing games and slowly eating our food. I recommend their chicken tenders, and I like suggesting the fry basket, because you get an interesting mix of deep fried items, like corn and pickles (who knew pickles could be deep fried??). And of course, their queso sauce is great for sharing and always a crowd-pleaser. read more

Super good place. My server was not very friendly but I will not let that affect that from the food. The food was fricken amazing Well my dish. My husband ordered a turkey sandwich and it was unfortunately dry to hell, I almost choked taking one bite. I however got the salmon BLT and my mouth is still watering just thinking about it. Probably won't be back to this restaurant just because of the shit server, but the sister restaurant boulder on broadway.... PHENOMENAL! Here is a pic of my food. His was awful so I won't post it. read more

Quick and easy for take out! Burgers, pork sandwich, fries and tacos were great. Tender and juicy. They also offer gluten free buns. Have eaten there pre- covid and staff was always friendly. They keep the restaurant clean, fun bike theme inside, good alternative music playing at just the right volume and the patio has great views of a little lake with ducks and turtles. Only bad part is if a smoker shows up and stinks it up on the patio. They also have an entertainment book coupon for B1G1F. Great food at reasonable prices. read more

This is what they call "extra veggies". After waiting over 1.5 hours for our food to come out, we asked for them to make it to go because we were running super late back to class at SWIHA. read more

Great service and good atmosphere fun place and pet friendly fun place we are looking forward to coming back in the evening

Another fun and delicious luncheon at Spokes. This time we dined al fresco by the beautiful lake with the fountain and the ducks. Again, the food offered wonderfully unique options, but the jighlight is Candace... go there just to meet her... we will be back to greet her... and her warming oersonality and smile! As noted on my Facebook... Skip Granger is with Mary Ann Granger -- February 20 Cheers! "Where everybody knows your name". When we walked into Spokes today,.. after two weeks, Candace called us by name and remembered what we like. We dined Al fresco by the lake, and I told Coby that next time I will order the duckling. read more

I experienced this place for the first time on a Saturday for a Fantasy Football draft. Our commissioner called ahead to reserve tables and we were well accommodated by the staff. Saturday was an excellent choice as they have an all day happy hour which includes $1 off of beer, and different appetizers for $4.99. My boyfriend and I had about 3 different appetizers and a decent amount of beer (~8 or so) between the two of us over a 5 hour period. Our bill was just a little over $50. We tried the boneless hot wings, nachos and cauliflower wings (which were to die for) and enjoyed everything. Everyone in our party (15+ people) had a great time, and were very impressed with our service - more specifically our waiter. We will definitely be back! read more

We LOVE the location but the food not so much. We enjoy taking my granddaughter to the lovely park there but when we were at this restaurant one in our party got food poisoning. We wanted to stir up the courage to go again but in reading the reviews we noticed that this establishment does not participate in the health standards. I guess we'll pass a second trip. read more

So happy with our food we ordered. I got a grilled cheese it was so yum loved that buttery flavor and crunch of the bread. Had it with avocados and basil. The basil was so fresh. Hubby had a turkey sandwich he seemed to enjoy. The waffle fries are so good. Fluffy inside crispy outside. Look forward to trying something else in the future. read more

I was disappointed to have a (less than) mediocre experience at Spokes On Southern after reading a lot of great reviews on it. We decided to try it out on a Saturday afternoon because the weather was gorgeous and we wanted to sit outside - Spokes' patio area is rather plain, but overlooks a nice little lake with some very social turtles and ducks. We sat ourselves (per the instructions on the welcome sign) and waited several minutes before a server greeted us. Saturdays have an "all-day happy hour" special, so we ordered a soft pretzel with queso from the happy hour menu. It took quite a while to arrive at our table (10+ minutes after we put our entree orders in), and I was pretty disappointed when it arrived. It looked and tasted like one of the frozen pretzels you buy from the grocery store, and the queso was rubbery. I think it was $5, so you get what you pay for, I guess...but it wasn't even worth that. Our entrees were also underwhelming - I had the fish tacos, which had no taste. The flour tortillas seemed stale and powdery, and the fish tasted like it had been microwaved from frozen. My boyfriend had the Carver burger, which he said had little flavor, as well. We both had fries (I had regular waffle fries, he had sweet potato fries), and they were decent. However, the table behind us ordered a side of fries and we overheard them tell the server that they had arrived cold. Hmm... Overall, Spokes seems like a better place to grab drinks and bar food than to enjoy a meal - I saw on their website that they have a trivia night, so maybe I'll try it again for one of those events. read more

Always a good selection of craft beer. Food, pretty good. One standard is the pestonturkey. Customize it how you like. Waffle frys are to die for. Service is good. They tend to have events a couple times a month, fundraisers, beer tastings really fun and different things. read more

We have been by Spokes for years but had never tried it. On Saturday we were in the area and decided to stop by. We were not disappointed. The place was fairly empty which was surprising. I had a hamburger and my wife had boneless chicken wings. Both were very good and very tasty. I would recommend it read more

This visit was much better than the previous. Service was fairly prompt, and it was followed up by the bartender and another server. Our server this particular evening was new, but she was friendly, courteous and efficient. Her timing was a bit off and she wasn't familiar with the menu but she was quick with the answers to my questions, got our drinks delivered, appetizer and meal orders in to the kitchen and then delivered to the table in a timely manner. My Pumpkin Porter was perfect, thanks to the bartender. Our appetizers was strangely good. Go figure, cauliflower stepping in to replace chicken wings Buffalo style. I'm a fan. Our entrees were tasty and a pleasant change from the usual. That sweet potato, bacon and cheese stuffed Poblano topped with queso was even better than I imagined too. Thanks to the other server that recommended it. Yum YUM! Overall, two thumbs up. read more

This place a a great menu, for beer and food and the outside patio has an awesome overlook of a pond that is super unique in Phoenix. There's always something on tap here to satisfy your beer snob and the food is fresh and tasty, so it takes a min to get to you but you'll love it and there's Vegan options for them too. Why this place isn't more popular still bewilders me, if it was in Scottsdale I'd have to wait for a table but it's usually open and no wait so bonus for us on this Gem in Tempe read more

Excellent place to hang out with family and friends either indoors or out. The generous selections of Beer and "South-Westernish" dishes, give plenty to pick from. Enjoyed the Carne Asada tacos, Salmon BLT, and Chicken Bacon Enchiladas. The Enchiladas were a little heavy on the chipotle, but the sweet potato stuffed poblano was tasty! Overall, a great place to enjoy even though Covid has shut most places down. read more

Excellent service, excellent food. I saw the reviews for Spokes on Southern and talked my friends from going to another bar. I am so glad I did. We all agreed Spokes is a great time. At Spokes, sitting at the bar, it was so comfortable. The bartenders are friendly, professional and attentive to the customers. They made all of us feel welcome. (I used to be a server in college, so I notice these things). Compliments to the chef. I ordered a quesadilla spinach wrap. I was surprised how decorated the plate was; similar to a 5-star restaurant. We all enjoyed the music by Levi. I was surprised by the back patio. There was a fire pit to keep you warm and a lovely lake too. Bonus, you can bring your dog on the patio. I met 2 friendly dogs. It was a great night! We plan on returning to Spokes next week. I will be telling my co-workers about Spokes on Southern. read more
