Hubby & I had dinner here last night. I'm not sure why, but we were both thinking it was inside a mall, but it's a free standing building. When you walk in there is someone asking if you've been there before. When we said no, he told us to find a seat where ever we wanted, & we could order from the QR code on the table. Luckily, we had checked out the menu & how things somewhat work, so we already knew what we wanted to order. There is a station with cups & cold water, plastic silverware, napkins, & condiments. You just take whatever you want. Hubby got a beer from the beer wall. I got a sangria. The picture on the menu shows white sangria, but to my pleasure it was red. It was a little on the sweet side. We ordered the pretzels & beer cheese from Pastiazza, wings from Chow Down AZ, & a fish sandwich from Fish Pop. They bring the food out as is ready. The fish sandwich comes with fries. It was really good. It had 2 fish pieces plus another small piece. It was hot, super flaky & good. The fires were good. We both really liked the sandwich. Hubby loved the wings. They were crispy, rendered & juicy. The pretzel bites were okay, but nothing special. The cheese looked like nacho cheese, but it wasn't. It was good. I wouldn't get the pretzels again. The food came out pretty quickly. However, it was too hot in the seating area.

I really like that you could order from either a QR code or from a kiosk at the front and then you could order from all of the different stalls at once. This made it really easy if you wanted to try things from different places. My favorite was random AF the birria is so good here! Especially the grilled cheese, so cheesy and delicious. I also really loved the fish pop, fish and chips. It was crispy and perfectly seasoned. My least favorite was probably the burger, but it was still pretty decent, but I would definitely get the other two things before that They had lots of TV and seating areas and also an outdoor area with some pool tables

We had been here before and liked the concept, but then we learned soon after that it was closing. Fast forward and Tempe Eats is reopened and it looks to be thriving! This is a good haul with several different "restaurants." There is one big menu with a different section for each food stall. There is Mexican, soul food, Asian, fried fish, Italian, and more. There is also a full bar and a beer tap wall for the beer lovers. You scan the QR code on the table and then order and pay at your table. Easy peasy George and Weezy! We ordered: *Beef yakisoba *Birria Grilled Cheese *Dozen Hot Wings *Peach Cobbler Hubby said the yakisoba was good--just the standard yakisoba, still good. The portion size was really big. The wing sauce was really good--not too vinegary and the perfect amount of heart. V they came out hot and fresh. Delicious! The Birria Grilled Cheese s AMAZING! It came with a yummy consomme for dipping. The need was crispy and it was packed with Birria. So f***** delicious! When the gentleman brought out my wings, her brought a complimentary peach cobbler. It was so good--warm and buttery. Our comfort food! The place seemed to be filling up when we were leaving, which makes sense since we were there pretty early. This is the place to go when everyone in your party wants something different. The huge t.v. screen and a show of other t.v.s are great for watching sports. If you haven't yet, give this place a try. It's not fancy, but it is good!

Tried tempe eats recently and thought the concept was really cool. Feels like a mini food hall/food court with multiple options, and I liked how you can order from the QR code at the table. We sat at the bar and the bartender offered to start our tab and take our order directly. He was the only one working there at first so service felt a little slow as he was handling drinks for everyone else. People were also coming up to the bar to order. After waiting awhile we were going to just order off the QR code instead. Bartender said he could still take our order and got a co worker to help. The orignal fish and chips was good. My boyfriend liked the wings. The veggie roll surprisingly took the longest to come out. A staff member went to go check up on it for us and was gone for some time. It was good. Not the best Ive ever had. Just funny that the veggie roll ended up taking the longest out of everything. I liked how they had games at the table like connect four. It gave the place a fun atmosphere. There were only a couple available and other people wanted to play it too so we played a couple games and passed it along to another couple to share.

Been here twice now and each time its amazing. The place is very welcoming. You get greeted when you walk in the door. Came here to see Mr. Muhammad at chow down arizona. Very friendly both times. Food was amazing. Will definitely go back again soon. Great tasting home cooked food. Everything taste amazing.

Came here to try "chow down". Interesting set up here. You sit at a table, you scan the QR code, then you can order from the many different restaurants offered here. I chose "chow down" because I wanted the oxtails. No complaints the oxtails were delicious and tender. they brought the food out to the table pretty quick. My dad had the cod and fries. He said it was good and fresh (Came with a side of cold peas that we did not eat.) we ordered drinks from the bar. Strong, but not that delicious. I was not impressed with the desserts. We had the banana pudding, which was OK. But absolutely never ever what I recommend the jar dessert "muncheese". I had strawberry cheesecake and we ended up throwing it away. I definitely want to come back to try other food items on the menu.

We had family in town and have been wanting to try Fish pop since we have been following them on IG for awhile. The vibe in the restaurant is great very open, big bar, beer wall. However I will say the ordering system from your phone is awful. They need to invest in a better more organized set up. They have all the Restaurants clumped into one giant list. It was so confusing and it took forever to even find the alcohol drinks. We ended up just going up to the bar. When it got to checking out our cards were all declining and we clearly had money it was a system glitch. It took us a good 25 min to get our food ordered. I also think it would be a great idea for someone to greet you when you walk in and explain the ordering process not just point to the QR codes. We enjoyed the spicy fish and chips and the tartar sauce was so good! I didn't take a picture of it but we got a soul food plate it was fried chicken wings, candied yams, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. It was great and my 11 month old tore that plate up! Haha Fix the system and I think you have a great concept.

Spicy fish and chips - fantastic, only slightly spicy but not weak. The tartar sauce was incredible, and my favorite so far. Fries were alright, nothing special but not bad. BBQ pulled pork nachos - wow. The waffle fries were heavily seasoned in the best way, and I couldn't be happier. This was enough to feed two, and even the leftovers were tasty. Highly recommend, and you get to choose the meat as well (I went with pulled pork). They give you quite a bit of meat too. Margs - nothing special but not bad. Can't beat $3 though. Our bartender was so sweet, and she helped us pick some food and navigate the restaurant. You sit anywhere you'd like, scan the QR code, and order from a culmination of multiple restaurants, like a food court. They have a bar, and also a tap wall where you can fill your own beer! I'll be back to try that out. They have empanadas, soul food, bbq, fish, sushi, and probably some more that I'm forgetting, so check it out if you ever have split cravings!

Tempe Eats is a good concept in theory. It's a food hall, but not. You order from a kiosk and workers are labored with the task of bringing your food. They have to discern between orders and try to give you a run down of your food should you ask. Kinda sucks actually. You should leave them a tip. Some of the things we ordered were good and some were not. I felt like everything was reasonably priced. The Eats gives you plenty of variety to choose from. You can also enjoy an alcoholic beverage while you wait. If you're dining with a bunch of people, this may be your spot.

Matt B.

I should've checked Yelp instead of listening to my girl's social media influencers hyping this place up. Tempe Eats looked promising based on the photos and online buzz, but the actual food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy that's heavily advertised with pictures when you walk into the restaurant, and what came out looked nothing like what was being marketed. The sandwich was served on what tasted like a basic bagged Italian roll, there was no real "special sauce" besides straight cocktail sauce, and overall it just felt cheap and thrown together. Definitely not worth the $20 price tag. Honestly, I'd be embarrassed serving that as an owner. Random AF Taqueria was also disappointing. The smash burger was mediocre at best, and the waffle fries were way overcooked. I like crispy fries as much as anyone, but these crossed the line into hard and burnt. The strawberry horchata was a banger though. The positives: the strawberry horchata was excellent, the banana pudding was actually really good (and was given to us on the house after the disappointing meal), and the atmosphere/service were solid. Sports were playing on the TVs which made it a decent environment to hang out in, and the woman working the front counter was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and easily the best part of the experience. Overall, the service and drinks/dessert saved this from being a 1-star review, but the actual food didn't come close to matching the hype.

Eddie B.

Kind of a cool concept here. The place is really clean and it's progressive. The service was a little strange because of the concept but good. The food was really good. Really was some of the best fish and chips I've had. The fries were amazing, the thing is though, this is like a little food court without the mall and the food we got came from one of the, I think, 6 restaurants? Maybe only 5. But that's the deal, it's a building with a bar, a hostess, and lots of seating but you have several places to choose from. Check it out when you're with several people that all want something different.

Aarron W.

Little confused about the low ratings, but here's my experience--- Tempe Eats has a cool concept imo-- there a bunch of different places to eat in one area ( think of an upgraded food court ) and the facility it self sells alcohol, has tv's for games. They have all these taps for beer, I haven't had a chance to check that out yet. Each time I have eaten there I was warmly greeted, and the staff at TE explains how everything works. They also check on you and help if you need assistance. This works out great if someone in your group doesn't eat a certain type of food and you can get some beers or whatever to drink. Chix and Fish pop ( restaurants at TE ) are worth the drive alone. Looking forward to going back soon.

What a sham of a business. More than a week ago, I filled out the "Contact" form on their website asking a couple questions prior to my visit. Immediately after filling out the contact form, they sent two automated emails "welcoming" me to their "eClub" and another one asking me to sign up for Tempe Eats "Rewards." Today I got more spamage pimping their Rewards plan. What a scam! They use the "contact us" site to harvest data and sign you up for crap you didn't sign up for. No mention on the contact form that they'd be using your data to spam you without your permission (see pic). Meanwhile they haven't sent me a reply to my questions. Also, self-serve beer pricing is CRAZY. It's $.65/oz! That's $10.40/pint!!!! For pouring your own beer! OMG. Obviously a very poorly managed operation in all areas. From all the poor reviews so far, Tempe Eats will soon be on the ash heap of failed businesses. read more

Unexpectedly sat next to the owner today and was surprised to find out after being served my food and drink! I came on a Saturday during the summer so it was a very relaxed vibe but since 2024 and their grand opening this place has always been THE SPOT to go to during the day or night! Food is served until 8 PM! Want to bring the family or come for a night out with the girls well this spot has everything and is so inclusive! I highly recommend visiting this place for everything it has to offer! Just don't be mad that everyone had the same mind as you when it comes to food because when the kitchen is busy it is busy, but they didn't forget you ;) ! read more

What a great concept! This place has everything you'd want to watch a ball game and eat from a great choice of restaurants. Came with my family and we can order whatever food we want. My daughter had the sushi, my sons and I shared birrias (yum!) from Fork Off and wings from ChickPop (very good dry rub and Korean BBQ sauces). My wife had fish & chips from FishPop (melt in your mouth) and the crispy chicken sandwich from ChickPop. We love that you can get whatever great food you want, get drinks from the beer wall and watch your game with your family or friends. my wife doesn't drink beer BUT there's a full bar where she can get her wine. Our family can never decide on a specific restaurant and this is the perfect solution! read more

This review is t really about the food. Went to this place on a Friday at 6. Walked in and there was a dj playing music so loud that I had to yell to talk to my wife standing right next to me. I would have left immediately if I hadn't ordered food ahead online. They were trying to call out numbers with a microphone and it couldn't be heard over the dj blasting Michael Jackson. My Apple Watch registered a noise warning so I can say that the music registered 104db with me standing as far from the speaker as I possibly could. Not a place you could have a conversation or even talk to a person immediately next to you. Really obnoxious. As we left with commiserated with other patrons who had some choice words for a dj who couldn't read the room. The food is nothing to write home about and expensive. I ate Fishpop (which I took home to get out of this place) and it was okay but not worth $20. I don't really ever write reviews but felt compelled as this was such a bad experience. Not only will I not return I will actively warn people off from this place. The staff was polite but were walking around literally with their hands over their ears. read more

I've been wanting to eat at this place since I found out it was going to be a food hall. Ordered delivery through Uber eats and was overwhelmingly disappointed. The "wagyu" burger is just a plain burger. Nothing special. Flavor was bland and the burger was over cooked. More importantly, I ordered a mushroom Swiss and it came with a bunch of other toppings not in the description. The truffle fries are a tiny serving of standard fries with truffle oil and what looked like parmesan. They also came out cold. Soda had no syrup and was just straight plain soda water. The girl at the pickup window was nice but said it would only be a few minutes. More like 15-20. Had to wait outside as it was not yet open inside. Looks like a nice place, but I could have gotten a better burger and fries from Chili's for half the price. read more

Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT concept but god awful service. Fishpop is great, even as a person who hates fish, but all other food is frozen level. I could get better food from Trader Joe's freezer section. Last time I came here, I ordered spicy teriyaki yakisoba. The meat was unflavored, and tasted like it'd been in the freezer for months before cooking. This time, the fish is significantly smaller, and the food takes FOREVER to be served. A few years back, we had a large party here and only half of the guests had food after and hour and a half, leaving the rest hungry. This place is a very cool idea, but the worst food hall I've ever been to. Never again. read more

This was my third time since they opened. The staff was extremely accommodating. I was here with a large group for our Silent Book Club. My friend had made the reservation weeks ago. Nobody told her that it was going to be karaoke night! They sat us outside and put the tables together for us. And they figured out a way to turn off the outside speakers. We could still hear the singers in the main room. It made us giggle a lot. The food was good and everybody liked what they got. My only complaint is that we had one server for our large group and a lot of the other staff members were either singing karaoke or standing around. Our server really needed the extra help. but he was very nice! read more

We were so excited for this place. The service was not good(way to salty), extremely slow and short staffed. The food was not that great for the prices. We were expecting more like a food court, walk up, place your order and have a seat. Unfortunately, they take your order at the table which was slowing down service. We went on a Sunday evening, and there were only about four or five additional parties yet they couldn't handle the business. It's unfortunate. I think they should revamp the ordering process even allowing the pads at the table to place your own order. I do not foresee this place having longevity if they do not make changes. read more

Great spot and concept. Walked in, and welcomed with great energy and a smile to match from Melissa! We went there for my friends birthday on a Tuesday for happy hour and immediately the margarita for $6 with a free chicken taco was a no brainer for starters. I love the idea of having a variety of multiple cuisines to choose from, if you're a picky eater or know someone who is, everyone can get their fill! We ordered the wagyu sliders, they were so delicious, we ordered another round of them! They were my favorite. We also tried the Mac and cheese. But the wagyu sliders are really where it's at! Teresa the owner came around and checked to see how our experience was, it was awesome! Also the margs have a hint of pineapple and Grand Marnier which adds a nice touch. Over all, it was a great experience. On Fridays and Saturdays they have karaoke. I'll definitely be back to explore more cuisine and activity! read more

The poor boy is tasty but small, like finger food. Service was below par. Slow with multiple servers and mass confusion. Tried to get a beer, but the card didn't work. Good selection tho. I like beer so I'll give them another shot . read more

Tempe Eats was so accommodating for our group (Thank you Teresa!). We had 25-30 people coming in later in the evening and they made it so easy for everyone to get what they want and pay individually. Food was reasonably priced and nice portions. We will definitely be back next time we are in Phoenix/Tempe. read more

Great self-serve beer selection. John knows his food and is spot on in his recommendations. The atmosphere is popping. The best part is you can order from any place and it all comes out together! No one has to wait and have their food get cold. No waiting in line. Great for groups. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. 100% would come back. read more

This concept needs to get rethought. It looks like you used to go to the different restaurants like a food court. Now the restaurant stall fronts full of equipment are for the experience. You get four menus to order from and your bill comes all at once. Like in person door dash. The menu options is like someone is trying to recreate the breadth of the cheese factory but without cheesecake. The empanada I had was good but small and without much filling. The shrimp taco was sad. The churros weren't fresh at all. There was a wilted strawberry garnish. The whole thing was kind of a drag. This place reminds you that it's not easy to run a restaurant. read more

The positive reviews im sure are from employees. For the money and forced tip prior to even getting service I should have known. We both ordered the fish and chips. It was compatible with jack and the box but much more expensive. The drink cups are cheap paper ensuring you dont try to get a refill because they get soggy and collapse before you even finish your meal. Im a little older so I might be biased but service was difficult as you have to chase someone down for anything. Food comes in a to go box. And was surprisingly expensive for what you got. Im not sure I would go back it reminds me of a college kitchen. There is one kitchen but multiple counter with restraunt names. read more

Would have been a 3 star review but most sentiment has already been reflected by other reviews and it doesn't appear that management seems to care. Went in for the suns playoff game and was greeted at the door. Was impressed by the beer taps on the wall and the decor was nice. When getting to the table, we were confused because we had been handed 8+ menus, with a QR code at the table to order, menus at the individual stands, and servers coming between tables. We didn't know if we were supposed to wait for the waiter or order via the QR code. Ended up going the QR route and apparently the order was lost, as the server approached us 15 minutes after we put it in to ask us if we'd like to order. Sounded like the owner was at the bar with 3-4 of his friends. Didn't see a bartender a single time while he was seated there. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. Liked the selection but the online ordering was not organized well and frustrating to deal with. Staff was polite and nice. Concept is fun but needs a bunch of work or theyll be out of business soon read more

I do not recommend Tempe Eats. The hostess is friendly, that's the only positive. We tried all 4 of the restaurants and did not enjoy. We spent $100. We ordered our food to go. Tried birria ramen with the tacos. They packed it without broth! How do you serve dry birria? The empanadas are the worst I have ever had and greasy. There is about a tablespoon of filling in each one. The sushi is mid. Wish we had not tried it. Also, the fish and chips are very greasy, and the tartar sauce tastes like pickles. I will never go back and would never recommend this place to anyone. Terrible experience. read more

Anytime you're dealing with a speakeasy, you feel like a VIP, and that's how we felt that evening. What a great way to close out the night, as the vibe and decor are what I'm all about. Do plan ahead with reservations. Our Server from FA & Bartender here hooked it up for us with a special toast and celebration for our anniversary!! VIP Treatment with the 70's to 2000's vibe.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

I was asking tons of questions and he shared several stories giving us the background that made the drinks even more special. A must try!!

I've been to Idle Hands twice, about a year apart, and there's a lot to like. The most recent was…read moreon a Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. This speakeasy is located on Mill Ave., the center of Tempe's party scene. Because of its location, parking isn't easy. If you're looking for free parking, you're going to have a long walk. Outside of that, you'll have to pay for parking in a garage or metered street parking. Ambiance (4/5): Hint hint. Idle Hands is located inside Devil's Hideaway. A true speakeasy shouldn't have signage outside indicating its location. Unfortunately, there's a sign for Idle Hands outside of Devil's Hideaway which takes away the sense of mystery and intrigue that a true speakeasy provides. Outside of this hiccup, it's a cool speakeasy. It's intimate, with 10 or so seats at the bar and about 10 seats in booths facing the bar. There's a projector screen behind the bar that had mystical motion graphics the first time I stopped by (thinking wizards) and Halloween motion graphics the second time (with it being a day before the holiday). There were some other Halloween decorations up. The only area of improvement? The music often doesn't match the vibe. A lot of the music they were playing on my last visit was Irish music that would be fitting for a pub. Service (4/5): I had the same bartender each time. He knows how to make a good drink and is pretty efficient. When you close out, he only gives you the merchant copy. Which is a pet peeve of mine. Let me get that customer copy too. But overall, a good experience. Especially at a college bar. Food (N/A): I've only had drinks both times. Idle Hands actually doesn't have food, but Devil's Hideaway does. And you're allowed to bring food from there into the speakeasy. Drinks (4.5/5): It's pretty surprising to see a speakeasy on a college campus. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu, both in terms of the ingredients used and the fusion of flavors. I've had a different cocktail each time, and they've all been great. My favorite was one served in a box filled with smoke. Talk about a cool presentation! The hallmarks of a solid speakeasy are elevated cocktails, nice ambiance (dimly lit), an intimate space, and mystery/intrigue. While the intrigue is lacking at Idle Hands, and the music can be improved, they hit it out of the park in the other areas. One of my favorite speakeasies I've been to in Phoenix (and surrounding areas). I am, after all, the self-appointed king of speakeasies. The king gives his stamp of approval.

It felt like such a perfect date night spot or place to celebrate something special. The servers were also extremely attentive the entire night. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling overbearing. The service honestly matched the upscale atmosphere perfectly and made the whole experience feel even more polished. And OMG... the food. SO SO SO SO SO GOOD. Like genuinely one of those meals where every single bite makes you pause for a second because it tastes that incredible. I got the chicken orzo along with the lime icebox cake for dessert, and both were absolutely amazingggg. The chicken orzo was phenomenal. The lemon flavor throughout the orzo was bright, fresh, and flavorful without being overpowering, and the tomatoes were the PERFECT addition because they balanced everything so well and added a little sweetness and freshness to the dish. But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

On a busy Saturday night, he graciously allowed us to push it back by an hour, which we really appreciated. When we arrived, we were immediately impressed. The jungle theme, leopard prints, intimate booths, and dramatic overhead lighting created a fun, unique atmosphere. The service was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, and every dish we ordered was a hit. My son said it may have been the best steak tartare he's ever had (although neither of us was a fan of the plantain chips). It was certainly the best tartare I've had in a very long time, with generous chunks of high-quality steak instead of being overly minced. The baked brie dip was outstanding, the grilled oysters were excellent, and my New York strip was cooked perfectly. My only small criticism is that the oyster appetizer came with just three oysters. For a $19 appetizer, I'd love to see at least four. An even number also makes sharing much easier, although my son generously let me have the extra one! Overall, this is a fantastic concept with great food, great service, and a memorable atmosphere. We can't wait to come back.

We called about half hour before and made a reservation by phone. I was disappointed that my first order choice of the Seabass was unavailable and my second choice of lamb chops was also unavailable. Not sure if this is because it was a Sunday night and/or we made the reservation immediately before showing up. They were also out of the Melted Cast-Iron Brie Small Plate that we were excited about ordering for the table. We loved this restaurant because of the dark and jungle-themed interior. We were excited to see the bold taxidermy featuring the large cats combined with the ornate, gold- framed dapper animal art hanging on the walls. Another reason to love this spot: hidden inside is an entrance to a secret cocktail lounge, or speakeasy, called "Drop Dead Gorgeous." We also appreciated the entire restaurant centering around a glowing, raw wood-fire cooking pit. We could hear and watch our entrées being prepared. What we didn't love so much: the items that we would've liked to have ordered were unavailable. The price to portion ratio in the small bites could also be improved a bit. Great service from our waitress throughout the evening. We ordered: - Fire Roasted Bone Marrow for the table (3/5) - sourdough toast, jalapeño marmalade with demi. I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby.

I was so excited to try bone marrow for the first time. It was interesting. Sort of like a mix between butter and fat from a steak. It tasted really good with the spicy jalapeño jelly and bread provided. I expected us to be warm and it came out cold. Still not sure if I like it or not. Maybe I'll give it a second try - White Oak Grilled Chicken Skewers (4/5) - served with shiso leaves, kimchi, shishito peppers. kosho aioli, lemon aioli, ssamjung for the table - Very yummy. We enjoyed these. We had actually changed our mind right after initially putting in the milk bread order for the table and they brought out the milk bread so quickly that our waitress said she would give this to us on the house. - Milk Bread for the table (4/5) - miso tomato butter, almond & Kalamata. Even though we changed our mind and got this sent to our table accidentally, I would order this again. It was very delicious and it comes out as an adorable little tomato shaped and colored milk bread with the toppings looking like the stem on top. So tasty and everybody loved it. A little small for our party of five. - Lemongrass Half Chicken (5/5) - Caramelized carrots, kyoto roasted garlic, mashed potatoes & jalapeno jam. Hubs loved this. He said everything was delicious and went well together. - Bomba Rice x2 (5/5) - Risotto, shrimp, linguica, chicken, piquillo peppers, green peas, kosher aioli & Parmesan. My son and his girlfriend both ordered this and said it was very good. - Shishito Caesar Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - bonito, charred shishito peppers, ricotta salata, tapioca chicharron & togarashi. My daughter ordered this and said it was very good. - Spicy Peanut & Tomato Salad add Chicken Skewers (5/5) - peanut dressing, heirloom tomato, baby gem, daikon radish, onion, mala chile, whipped queso de cabra & sour nut. YUMMMM What a creative and unique salad! So glad I tried it. It has unique flavors that work well with each other and a crunch. There's also some heat that goes along with the salad. I was able to withstand it. My son would probably say it's not spicy at all. I'll be craving this salad for months to come. - Dad or Daddy Specialty Cocktail - bright, buzzed & stoned vodka, apricot liqueur, Riesling cordial, ginger, lime, topped with Red Bull Peach Edition (White Peach) - Fruity Mocktail - I asked the waitress if they had any mocktails and she asked me what I liked and gave me examples. Based on what I told her she brought me out a delicious fruity mocktail topped with fresh mint. Parking along the street at metered parking or in parking garage nearby. A few streets away from Tempe Town Lake.

A good idea that fumbles in execution. Going into this I was excited thinking about the dining halls you see in other cities where there are a tons of options with small windows you walk up to and a large communal eating hall with all different kinds of people and food. This seemed to be the original idea of this place, but then maybe zoning or codes threw a wrench in it because that is not what you walk into for Tempe Eats. It's a sit down type restaurant with QR codes for mobile ordering at each table which were a headache and failed outright (the website crashed several times, kept navigating back to the homepage, photos weren't loading, and it rejected multiple payment attempts for a Visa card from Chase, etc.) or you can order from a server. One of us managed to get our order in on the app after several painful minutes, the other had to call over the server to get the order in after multiple failed attempts. They have these little windows it appears for each restaurant, but you don't actually order from them. They are just kind of awkwardly taking up space and some just have boxes from Amazon sitting on them for storage. It just looks weird and like a barrier between the seating area and the kitchen area. We ordered a variety of food and most of it came out in about 20 mins. The one server working there was clearly being forced to do far too much but was very kind and pleasant. She was sitting people, topping drinks, taking orders, bringing out food, following up etc. absolutely no complaints about her just poor management putting too much on one person. The food was....well bland. We got garlic noodles, chicken wings, egg rolls, and an empanada. The empanada was the only thing of real flavor and was good, the rest they spent more time on making it look good and money on the dish it came in than the food itself. The garlic noodles had very little flavor and the chicken in it was dry and tough, the egg rolls were mushy and unappealing, the chicken wings were dry and tough, etc. Nothing really worth coming back for except maybe food from the empanada place. Overall very disappointing and left us wanting to get food elsewhere to cleanse our pallettes. On top of that we ordered wagyu sliders that just....never came out. When we were leaving we brought this up and it took 10 mins to get the managers attention so that they could refund the food we never received. No explanation, no apology, and the manager never came out and just sent the bartender to tell me it was refunded. My unconfirmed suspicion is that the manager didn't want to came out and put a name to the face that was smoking a vape at the bar. If that was not the manager breaking Arizona law by smoking a vape indoors at the bar, it was certainly someone on staff that when I glared at slinked back to the kitchen area. Altogether it was something I was excited for that is not what it is advertised as and does poorly at what it is trying to do. Not worth giving them a second chance unfortunately. read more

Our recent visit to Tempe, Arizona, for a family member's graduation from Arizona State University was made all the more special by the delightful experience we had at Tempe Eats, thanks in large part to our exceptional server, Ken. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality, setting the tone for what would be a memorable dining experience. As a large party of 15, we knew we might pose a challenge, but Ken seamlessly accommodated our needs with grace and professionalism. Ken's attentiveness and genuine care for our dining experience were evident throughout the evening. He patiently guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations and ensuring that each member of our party found something to delight their palate. His knowledge of the menu and willingness to cater to our preferences made us feel valued and appreciated. Despite the bustling atmosphere of a busy graduation weekend, Ken ensured that our orders were taken promptly and accurately, and our meals were served with efficiency. He even took the time to check in on us regularly, ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction. In addition to Ken's outstanding service, the culinary offerings at Tempe Eats exceeded our expectations. From the delectable Latin cuisine at Sobremesa to the mouthwatering combinations at Wings & Wagyu, there was something to please every palate in our diverse group. Overall, our experience at Tempe Eats was nothing short of exceptional, thanks in large part to Ken's exceptional service. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth truly made our graduation celebration a memorable one. We left Tempe Eats with full hearts and satisfied taste buds, eager to return and create more cherished memories in the future. If you find yourself in Tempe, Arizona, be sure to make a stop at Tempe Eats, and if you're lucky enough to be served by Ken, rest assured that you're in for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Enter Tempe Eats and you'll find yourself in a visual wonderland, with stylish interiors and self-serve beer taps that suggest a modern dining utopia. But be prepared, because this place serves up a platter of confusion just as dazzling as its decor. The restaurant's concept is like a culinary United Nations, boasting half a dozen separate menus that span the globe. Each menu promises an exciting journey, but the reality is more akin to a turbulent flight with unexpected layovers. The spicy California roll, for instance, tries to bridge East and West but ends up lost in a no-man's-land of flavor, barely a step above your local supermarket fare. Meanwhile, the wings seem to have forgotten they were meant to fly, arriving at your table more parched than crispy. The multitude of menus might make you think there's something for everyone, but the challenge is finding something that anyone would enjoy. The staff, bless their hearts, do their best amidst the culinary chaos, navigating between tables like players in an elaborate game of tag. From the dining experience, it feels like Tempe Eats might have bitten off more than it can chew. Patrons are left playing a game of "choose your own adventure" but without any clear winners. In conclusion, if you're keen on a dining experience where every choice is a gamble and every dish a roll of the dice, then Tempe Eats is the place for you. Just be sure to bring your adventurous spirit and perhaps a snack, just in case your gamble doesn't pay off. read more

Just got back from Tempe Eats today, and it's definitely going to be my go-to spot for NFL season. Went with a buddy to watch some baseball, and we had an awesome time. The place is loaded with big screens everywhere, so it's perfect for watching any game. The atmosphere is chill but lively--exactly what you want in a sports bar. The self-serve beer wall is a game-changer. With 40 different beers on tap, we had a blast trying a bunch of them, and it's perfect for switching things up throughout the game. The staff was super friendly and always there to help if you needed anything. I've already decided to have my fantasy football draft party here. With all the screens and great beer selection, I can't think of a better spot. If you're looking for a place to catch the game or plan your draft party, Tempe Eats is where it's at! read more

I love the concept of Tempe Eats: 10 restaurants and bars under one roof. First, the drinks... The biggest beer wall around with 42 taps, but don't worry if you're not a beer gal because there's also a wine bar and a cocktail bar. My faves are the lychee martini, the EspressoTini, and the Neaux Fashioned. Then, the food is fabulous! You can get sushi, ceviche, wings, Cotija street corn, BBQ brisket, VooDoo pasta, or charcuterie all from the same place, so no more catering to the pickiest eater in the group. Pro Tip: You can get bottomless mimosas for $25 during weekend brunch, which is served 10:30-2pm on Saturdays and Sundays. You don't even have to order from the brunch menu to get this deal--you can order from any of the restaurant menus. You're welcome. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Tempe Eats for lunch for the first time, and we had such a great experience! The place has a really cool vibe, kind of like a food court with a variety of options to choose from, which made it perfect for our cravings. Honestly, there were so many options that it did make my head hurt trying to decide! We started with some wings and chips with salsa, which were both delicious! I decided to try the yakisoba with chicken and sushi, and it did not disappoint. The flavors were fantastic and the portion was generous. My boyfriend went for the short rib, which he absolutely loved. Overall, Tempe Eats is a fun spot with a diverse menu that caters to different tastes. We can't wait to go back and try more of the offerings! read more

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Tempe Eats! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and cozy. The food was incredible--everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We tried a mix of appetizers and mains, and each dish exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was our server, Raven. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations that we wouldn't have otherwise tried.

Visited this place for the first time and I highly recommend it. I was greeted at the door by John and he asked if it was our first time, we said yes and he welcomed us in and told us about the place. It's a Food Hall concept with 5 restaurants and a bar and a giant self pour beer wall! We all tried something different (FishPop, Sushi, Tacos) and the food was delicious. The rest of staff was friendly as well, but having John welcome us in and explain the process made the experience a little better.. We will be coming back. They have a ChikPop sandwich that looked delicious and we want to try that. 5 Stars read more

Entering into the review contest/raffle that Ja'Hira (the hostess) told us about. Great food and service! We ate at Random AF. Overall loved the food! 2 minor errors: the birria egg rolls were a bit too greasy and the mulita taco didn't come with 2 tortillas with the meat in the middle, just as a normal street taco. Everything else tasted great and we had an overall good dining experience. We loved the Birria grilled cheese, consome, and grilled shrimp vampiro tacos. read more
