Do not go on a Friday. It's so loud and chaotic. The AC does not work well and it was so hot and uncomfortable. The food was just okay. The service was lackluster and the concept was confused. Good idea but needs someone who can revamp the logistics. read more

Was there tonight for a Longest Night Yule Event and it was amazing! The Atmosphere was perfect and the staff was attentive as always! Love the food, the drinks and the people! Can't wait to go again! Mama Bear read more

We went to this place to check out the BBQ. We were greeted at the door by a friendly, bald headed gentleman with a lot of energy. He welcomed us in and explained their Food Hall concept. Many restaurants under one roof, with a bar and self pour beer wall! We sat at the bar and ordered our BBQ (which was delicious!) and got a beer card from the bartender (same gentlemen who greeted us at the door) and helped ourselves to some beers from their beer wall (that was kind of neat and fun). We look forward to coming back and trying some of the other concepts. We are glad we came across this place. 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

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

Unimpressed with the food here. A simple Mac and cheese came out uncooked and cold and when sent back so that they could warm it up it still came back cold and the cheese on top wasn't even melted. They seemed overwhelmed during brunch service despite half the place being empty. Every order seems to come out of the kitchen without the servers knowing who ordered it despite their order via QR code system where the table number is on the order. I'd say this place is a pass. read more

Pathetic tbh. This place won't last long at all. Service is horrid, but what's worse is the food. Friends, do not eat the sushi here. Honestly, just don't eat here at all, and wait for it to be turned into something else. Waited 38 minutes for a pizza, only to discover they over charged me. read more

This was rough- rough to go through and eat. For the price, I'm still figuring out what I paid top dollar for; fish and chips tastes the same, the hurricane was flat and lacking then you don't get any service because it's all self service. Totally disorganized with customers directing customers where to order and how to pick up the order. The setup was confusing for ordering drinks too. It's a miss. read more

Excellent place!! Great food, all the staff friendly, we love the concept, we need more days to try more things... read more

The new creole Cajun spots that have taken over this month are amazing !!! I wish I would have taken pictures of my food but ate it before I could. Will definitely be back before the end of the month just in case they are gone. read more

just wet to Tempe Eats and it was horrible even the cashier was like I know it's confusing to charge you 50+ for two pieces of fish. Terrible service and atmosphere should not recommend stay clear. Foo ok but not for those price. Worst experience I've had read more

A great idea, poorly executed. This place has a feeling of resignation about it. Like the party has been and gone and nobody knows whose job it is to turn out the lights. I can't imagine numbers are in the black. The ordering app is a big part of the problem. I hope they can get it fixed. The food is good. The idea is great and I really hope they succeed. So despite these complaints give them a try - this could be really cool. read more

Food was delicious! The pour your own beer wall is genius. Service was excellent. Will be back. read more

I really wanted to give this place more stars but I couldn't. The concept makes sense but doesn't. I was walking in thinking it's like a cafeteria style spot with different vendors you order food from and take ur food to a table and eats. Well I was wrong. We were sat down and asked to use OR code or order with waitress. Tried the QR code way and we thought we ordered but didn't go through 3-4 times. So a nice girl took our order and put a rush on the food. I didn't want to make a stink cuz i was hungry and didn't want to wait anymore. I ordered beef sf chicken teriyaki but really wasn't? Just slapped teriyaki sauce on top and half the chicken was pink and the beef was cold/rice was cold. I think they really need to change things around if this place is going to be successful. read more

Our first time in we were greeted warmly by Vince who gave us the run down of how this eatery works and he introduced us to our bartender, Bri. Both of them were such a blast and even though it was a slower part of the day for them, they both had great attitudes. Even the kitchen staff that brought out our food was in a good mood and having fun, and I love to see that in a restaurant, happy staff is a good sign! It's a very cool concept, being able to get small plates of multiple different styles of food is basically my dream haha and it helped that the food was great! We ended up coming back a week later with some friends, and everyone enjoyed! I didn't catch the name of our bartender this last time but she was just as delightful as the service we had prior. I will definitely be back and bringing more friends to this place. read more

My husband and I had dinner here for a date night last night. The concept is so fun with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. It is basically a sit down restaurant with 7 different places to order from. All have their own type of cuisine. From Asian to wings to burgers to Cajun. The wait staff were friendly and very attentive. I would go back again! read more

Oh my gosh, I just visited a new restaurant in Tempe, Az. It's called " Tempe Eats " it was the greatest eating experience of my life . ( no kidding ) The food selection is HUGE. You won't believe what they've got there. And a Bar Wall with so many different beers to choose from. The food is excellent by the way. You have got to try this place . Its soooo big inside with tvs everywhere. And DJs also. What I appreciated most tho was the great service. They go all out to make you feel welcome and want to come back again. One in particular, his name is John, he took the time to help us thru our many choices and showed us around as we were 1st time visitors. Good customer service is important and he made us feel welcome. Thanks to John and all the great Tempe Eats staff for making our visit unforgettable. We will definitely be back.

We checked out this new place in our neighborhood and it was amazing! They have multiple food options, plenty of tv's, a bar, patio, and beer wall. They have a smoker in the parking lot and their brisket is incredible. They also have street corn that is remarkable and we also tasted their mac and cheese, which was awesome. The service was friendly and fast, and we'd like to give a shout out to John who gave us a tour of the whole place before we were seated. He explained how the process worked and he did it quick and he made us laugh a few times. :-)... If you are in the area, definitely check it out. read more

First off, the servers are amazing. Fal, our server was so kind and made this experience worth it. Only giving it 3 stars instead of two because of the service. First when we walked in, the music was BLASTING. I had to put in ear plugs. It was a lot. The food took almost 40 minutes to come out and when it did, it was lukewarm. The place wasn't super busy either, it was pretty empty. We got the wagyu burger, it was fine. It was just a normal burger. It was expensive for what it was and I would not spend that amount of money on a burger like that again. The chips it came with were pretty good. I don't typically like fresh chips like that, but these were good. We also got the truffle fries. The fries were tasty, but we paid extra to have truffle and you couldn't even taste the truffle. Not worth the extra money. Get regular fries. We also got the chicken and beef noodles with garlic butter. The noodles themselves were so good. The flavor was really stand out. If they were hot, it would've been perfect. However, the chicken was the driest chicken I've had in a long time. The beef had almost no seasoning but was cooked well. They gave us a teriyaki sauce, which really helped with the chicken, but if you have an aversion to alcohol, it strongly tastes like wine. Overall, extremely underwhelming. Maybe it was an off day, give it a shot if you'd like. We only tried a couple of things, maybe their other stuff is better. I probably won't go back unless someone else is buying. read more

Great food. I've been there 3 times just to eat the Wagyu mushroom burger. I don't know what these people are saying it is really good not dry. I love the portobello mushroom slices. I've eaten it with egg and without. My kid had the meatball sub which she loved. My wife had a selection of empanadas which she loved. I really can't say too much about the other offerings because that burger is my go to. I recommend this place. read more

Tempe Eats - Mushroom Burger - Barbeque Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The green chili burger was delicious! They forgot the chips that went with it.. The brisket fries were ok the brisket was not tender at all.. the margarita was delicious!!! Service was not the greatest but it was second day open so no biggie! The ambiance was to hectic with too bright lights and super loud music.. I get the indoor concept but it came off as a mall eatery. I do hope with time is goes better because the concept is pretty cool read more

If you get a chance, you need to try all their empanadas . I had 3 of them, and the only one I didn't try was the vegetable, but the best one was green chili This new restaurant is going to do well. Not only is it a cool idea they come up with, but they also bring a good atmosphere with a live DJ every weekend . The staff was so kind to show you around and educate you about the process, I'd highly recommend checking it out for yourself. I'll definitely be back!! read more

Tempe Eats - Empanadas Trio with fixings - Barbeque Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This place is the BOMB! Seriously one of the best places to get food and drinks. The drinks selection is unreal!! The staff is so welcoming and took care of us. The food here is unbelievable no matter what you get, we tried something from each selection and it all came out delicious. read more

Service was incredibly poor. Utensils were not brought to the table; I needed to ask for utensils. The server brought an incorrect order, so a member of my party needed to wait additional time for a replacement. Overall, expect a 20-30 minute wait for food even when 70% of the restaurant is empty. The food wasn't extraordinary in any form, either. We won't return. read more

We love food halls and check them out in other cities when we travel...this is not like most food halls. Other ones tend to be groupings of small business, with good variety of products. This is like a mall food court or an airport where a bunch of bland food is all prepped in shared kitchen with different names slapped on front counter. Like if Uber Eats ghost kitchens were a place you could visit. Food was not horrible but really not good, especially at those prices. Service was lackluster, atmosphere is bland. This is 'modern food concept' in all the worst ways. It's good for people who don't really care about what they patronize and just want 8 different menus if mediocre food. read more

We came in with a friend from out of town for dinner. The concept is fun and interesting, but the execution isn't good. We were presented with a bunch of menus which was overwhelming. The food stalls are cute, it would have been fun to walk around & see menus, but the concept is a sit down restaurant. The service was very slow, and they told us they were out of brisket after we ordered. They forgot some of our items. I get the impression there are too many specialties. I hope it improves and we can try it again. read more

This is an on-trend concept, but it falls short of expectations. If you've ever visited other food halls you'll just be underwhelmed in comparison. The food is just NOT. GREAT. $76, and our group sampled a lot of dishes - here's the ratings. Empanadas Trio - 2/5. Not true empanadas. The shell is more wonton wrap than empanada dough. Filling was decent. Chimichurri was 90% oil, 10% herbs. Micro portion for the price. Waygu Sliders - (0)/5. We didn't get to try because they were out of the waygu meat. The pork/beef sandwich was the suggested alternative. Pulled Pork Sandwich - 1/5. The bun was the only good thing. The meat was either under or unseasoned; it was BLAND! There was about a teaspoon of peach BBQ sauce on the meat. The coleslaw had so little dressing it was dry and seemed like more of a garnish. The accompanying chips shouldn't even be on the plate. They're perfectly crispy, but tasted burnt (?) and didn't have even a dash of salt. I didn't know I could not like a chip. Truffle Fries - 1/5. These could be called truffle potatoes, not fries. They were cooked, but somehow not fried. Also, they weren't hot at all. Nice truffle flavor. Small portion. California Roll - 5/5. Excellent. A classic, delicious California Roll. Crunch Roll - 5/5. A perfect sweet and crunchy roll. Shrimp was cooked well, and it had just the right amount of sauce drizzled on top. Service - 3/5. Friendly, but not intuitive. We got our food and had to wait for utensils/napkins, ketchup, soy sauce, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Then we had to ask for a ramekin for the soy sauce, and we didn't bother to ask for share plates at that point. This could have been avoided had server better prepared us prior to our food arriving. Also, water wasn't ever refilled, and it took 10+ mins. to get a 2nd glass of wine even though there were only 2 other tables in the place. Overall - 2/5. This place feels inexperienced. From the out of stock product, to the technology that isn't working (web ordering), to the lack of flavor across all dishes, this place just feels like it's good in theory, but poorly executed. I hope management/ownership listens to their guests. Otherwise, it'll be a Filiberto's within a year. I'm really rooting for this place as it's an awesome idea for the Tempe area. But, you'll want to skip it for now and spend your money elsewhere...maybe it'll be better in a few months... read more

Great food and service. Loved the ability to choose from different restaurants and tastes all under the same roof. I tried a lot of variety and left full. Great management team that ensured each customer was taken care of and happy. read more

This place is amazing! The food was excellent, so many options. Service was wonderful the people are all so nice. Lots of TVs so many beer options. I tried food from 3 of the places it was all delicious. Worth every penny. Come check it out . read more

Unique as it serves a variety of foods, I thought I might be wasting opportunities to try different types of food by selecting Mexican...the street taco was small compared to others I've had, but was authentic flavor & so satisfying. Next time I'll get more!!! The churros were delicious! I want more I will be returning to try each type of food specialty. and may still eat Churros no matter if main meal isn't Mexican Meanwhile, Every staff member was exceptionally pleasant and enjoyable to talk with..putting in good effort to get orders done, etc read more

Great food, great staff, great drinks! Awesome happy hour specials! Great place for a beer after work! read more

I love that this place offers different types of food. My husband wanted pizza and I wanted Mexican. Problem solved with Tempe Eats. I tried the chicken poblano empanada and it was the best thing ever! The carne taco has a kick! Be warned. Husband says the pizza is "good". That's high praise, believe me. read more

Great concept. 7 different restaurants to choose from and within a 5 mile radius of my home. Took the wife and my son to try this new establishment and was instantly disappointed. No hostess at the front of the restaurant to greet us, she was actually at the back of the building and took about 5 minutes before she came to seat us. We requested a booth, but it was dirty so it took her another 5 mins to clean. It almost seems like they were really understaffed or on a skeleton crew which should not be the case on a Friday at 1:15pm. Waiter seemed bothered and did not know much about the menu or the prices that were clearly posted on the menu. (He asked us what the lunch specials were, what they came with and how much they were on the menu because they weren't ringing up the same on his IPad) we ordered a chicken teriyaki, a po boy shrimp, wings, turkey blt, and sliders. Great food! No complaints there. Runner of the food was courteous and polite but it took a long time for our food to come out. No straws brought to us with drinks, no silverware (or plastic forks is what they have) on the table so we had to grab our own from the tablenext to us. Bald guy with glasses who was acting like the manager, seemed to check in with random tables and must've seen the looks on our faces because he did not check in with us. We saw a guy come in sit at the bar and there was no bartenders there so he asked our waiter how to order food and a drink to which he replied someone will be at the bar shortly and after 5 minutes of no one showing the guy got up and left! Funny thing I asked our waiter if they had an ice shortage because every drink we got had like 4 cubes of ice or no ice at all? We asked for our check and were overcharged by 10+ dollars because the system didn't recognize pricing for their lunch specials or what items are included so that had to be corrected. This place could be great, ambiance is great, but service, more employees and attention to detail are seriously lacking. I give it a year before they close if they don't get their shit together. One last question? Why put menus on tv's at each restaurant if you can't order directly from them and have to have your order taken by your waiter/waitress? Seems like a waste.... read more

Had good friends visiting from Montana and wanted to try something different. This place had been under construction right in front of my gym so I said 'what the heck'.... I love the idea of 7-8 different cuisines so something for all tastes. The challenge is delivering each of those to the table at the right temperature. That didn't happen. The brussels sprouts, while tasty, were luke warm to cool. The burger was dry and too well done. The FriendGirl said the sushi was ok for a non sushi place and she also said the venison meatballs were very tasty...Some things like brisket and ribs were not available. The owner? insisted on us taking the most useless tour of the different food stations where nothing is happening. And was excited about showing us the patio (I've seen patios) and all the TV's..ugh...The staff was friendly but overworked. They should have done a month long soft opening while they sorted this thing to optimum. Doesn't appear that happened. I want this idea to work...heck it close to my house and I like some of the offerings...My best bud says they have about 4-6 months to clean the place up, get all the kinks out, and make it stand out as a food option...or they'll languish..I afraid I agree with him. A lot. read more

My husband liked this place a little better than I did. I was turned off when we first went in and were hardly greeted. Just kind of was able to flag someone down eventually even tho we were one of only 3 couples of people there. Then ordering was confusing and the QR code didn't work. The food we got ended up being pretty good.. we got the poke nachos and sliders. We decided to give the place another chance pretty quickly after as we saw they had decent taco Tuesday deals. Tacos were fine, margarita was so terrible tasted like straight pure lemon and tequila but the bartender did add some simple syrup for us and was nice about it. Ended up ordering a pizza from the pizza place and it seriously seemed like a frozen pizza I was annoyed I had to pay for it. read more

The atmosphere was incredible and the food was very good. There was lots to chose from and many chooses of beverages. All in all I would recommend Tempe eats to everybody. read more

So this review is completely honest feedback with me and all things my family ordered. I can't speak for the whole menu and hopefully this review will help this place improve. Ordering was not the easiest thing if you have a family of five using the app. After ordering was an hour before we got our food after having to ask about it. The foods we ordered were chicken alfredo ( watery and had a bad milk taste) son said his school lunch is better. Chicken enchiladas with rice ( chicken super dry rice was way over cooked). Beef and chicken yaki soba (meats are super dry with a drizzle of sauce on top noodles tasted horrible). Pokè nachos (ahi tuna was not marinated). Voodoo pasta was probably the best thing we had but not for the price. For the prices you're better off getting better quality at fast food restaurants. Recommend them sticking with a couple of menu items and mastering them and then adding new items. Even then we won't be coming back nor recommend this place to anyone. I would say the only reason this place is still open is the bars and beer they have on tap. Great idea to have restaurant bar like this but the food needs some serious work. read more

This place is absolutely astounding. As I walked in I was greeted by John who did not hesitate greeting us and giving us a tour of all the amazing parts of this place. This place is stunning inside. John showed us the wine bar- wonderful selection (Belle Glos Pinot Nior is my personal favorite!) Then over to the beer wall (30+ different beers!). Following with the patio FILLED with TVs, this will definitely be our Sunday hangout. I sat down at the bar and Rudy made me the most delicious spicy margarita! Rudy recommended the chicken tacos from Fork Off- 10/10! But your options are endless for different food selections, and all delivered right to you! Everything has been perfect. I can't thank you guys enough for making this such a lovely experience! We will definitely be back. read more
