Buck & Rider in Gilbert just earned a spot in our top five restaurants…read more We booked brunch here on a whim while our guests were in town, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. As parents, one of the first things we notice is the kids' menu--and Buck & Rider absolutely nailed it. Instead of the typical two or three afterthought options, they had an impressive selection of thoughtfully curated meals. Our kids ordered the chicken and rice, and we were blown away by the portion and presentation. It came with chicken, rice, a generous serving of fries, dipping sauce, and fresh grapes. It felt like they actually cared about creating a meal kids would enjoy instead of just checking a box. The food for the adults was just as impressive. The sushi was fantastic, and we ordered one of the large raw bar oyster platters that was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. Everything we tried was outstanding. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and family-friendly, which is surprisingly hard to find. Our kids had an amazing time, our guests loved it, and we never felt out of place dining as a family. We'll absolutely be back--and next time, it'll probably be for a date night. Buck & Rider exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't recommend it enough.

A staple in the Epicenter plaza. Beer Barn is a perfect spot to come hang out and grab a drink!…read more The vibe here is great! Plenty of seating both inside and out. TVs, awesome music, events throughout the week, and board/card games to play as well. Really makes you feel like you're in barn on the inside. Huge selection of beers on tap. Whatever you like to drink, they got it. Wine selection is great as well. They have a wide selection to grab and go also. Good HH deals! The bartenders are always great and super helpful. Never make you feel rushed or pressured. They do allow outside food here as they don't have any food themselves. Plenty of people bring Joe's over or Spinatos to eat, drink, and hang out at Beer Barn. Definitely a great spot to bring the group!

The staff and manager were so friendly and attentive that leaving an extra tip felt like the only appropriate response.

I'll definitely be returning--there are several other menu items I can't wait to try. 5 stars!

One thing about me is when I see a French dip on the menu, I need to get it. Guess what? This…read morerestaurant had one and it's an 11 out of 10. Loved it. The bun seems to be coated with butter and toasted (can't go wrong with that) and the meat ....perfection. It was tender and so flavorful. The other star of the show was the fries. Now they're not healthy (of course) but man are they delicious. They're perfectly fried and seasoned. Our friends ordered the fish and chips and that dish got good reviews too. I personally also love the feel of the restaurant. It's a chill bar and grill type vibe and if you're someone who loves alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks, there's something for you on the menu. As for the service...top notch. Our server was training someone today and both of them were fantastic in my opinion. We will definitely be back, especially for that amazing French dip.

Drinks were spectacular! You have got to love a bartender that doesn't have to grab a book to figure out how to make a drink. The wait staff was on point and very in- tune to their patrons needs. The food was OK, but I probably wouldn't come here to eat. All in all a pretty great experience

So glad I stopped by! It wasn't on my list of speakeasies as this was a bit far from where I was…read morestaying. But a friend wanted to meet for food around the area and this spit popped up on Yelp. It didn't disappoint! I was skeptical at first as having a sign posted at the sidewalk and a bouncer outside the stairs going down, was a sheer sign that this isn't such a secret and speakeasy-like spot. But I was proven wrong very quickly. Dre who was the bouncer and I'd much rather call Drayden, is young but friendly. The hall leading down to the entrance was well decorated. It's hard to miss the door when you can hear people on the other side :). Hostess was nice. Alex immediately introduced himself from behind the bar as I sat down, and Meagan was the main bartender this night. They were both a wealth of knowledge when it came to cocktails. I really wasn't expecting too much but the two drinks I ordered were a solid 5/5. I had the silk bandit and the untold legacy. I like sweet drinks this way. It wasn't too sweet. All the flavors were well balanced and well thought out. They also had a girl singing tonight and she was amazing!!! Thanks for a nice relaxing night. Service was a 5/5 and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area.

It was practically empty when me and my friend came in, so we sat at the bar and were offered samples if we wanted to try anything before buying a pint. The person working was so kind, and understanding of our chattiness hahaha! The value was good as well, reasonable pricing for good draft beer! It's definitely a pub, not a restaurant vibe, so that's something to keep in mind. There is plenty of parking, and the bathroom was very clean. I really enjoyed all the card/board games available for people to use and I'll definitely be trying that out next time I'm in the area!

Pretty disappointed with our visit to Backyard in Gilbert. The food was just okay, but the service…read morewas honestly worse. Our booth was sticky when we sat down and after asking a few times for someone to wipe it off, they finally handed us a rag and had us do it ourselves. They also messed up our order and charged us for a full pizza instead of the kids pizza we ordered. The beer tower we got didn't work, and when they replaced it, it looked like they just poured the beer into another one while spilling a lot of it. Then one of the kids had a fly in their drink and nobody really seemed to care. They brought it out that way. Just wasn't a great experience overall and we probably won't be back.

This was our first time for us at Bourbon & Bones so hoping for a good experience, we didn't wait long to be seated and immediately our drink order was taken . It wasn't long and our dinner order was taken. We ordered several items and decided to share each so we could try a little of everything, our choices were perfect and everything was good. We all had a good time and would say the staff was very helpful and friendly with any questions we had, the Ambiance was very nice, the decor was nicely done as well, I will put this as one of my top 3 to go to for a nice evening out. Thanks Bourbon & Bones for a good evening out with friends.

Disappointing Anniversary Dinner - Expected More for the Price…read more My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here after getting recommendations from friends who spoke highly of the place. Since we're in the Gilbert area, we loved the idea of a great steakhouse without the drive to Scottsdale. We went in with high expectations -- we're no strangers to special occasion dining, so we knew what we were hoping for. Unfortunately, the experience fell short in almost every way. The ambience and service felt more like a polished chain restaurant than the upscale dining experience the prices suggest. For a $300-$400 dinner for two, you expect a certain level of attentiveness and flow -- and we just didn't get it. After our appetizers, we noticed we never received the pretzel bread everyone raves about. When I asked our waiter, he said they had just finished baking a fresh batch. When it arrived, it was cold -- so that clearly wasn't the case. We also had to flag our waiter down to take our entrée order, which shouldn't happen at this price point. My steak was fine -- just fine. My wife's fish was the same. Nothing memorable, nothing that made us feel like the bill was justified. By the end of the meal we were both ready to leave. Our waiter did offer a complimentary dessert for our anniversary, which was a nice gesture, but we were already checked out mentally and chose to go somewhere else to finish the evening on a better note. If you're in the East Valley looking for a truly special dinner, I'd honestly just make the drive to Mastro's Oceans Club or Steak 44.
