    Mac and Cheese
    Rakshit P.

    Came here for dinner with my family. The ambiance is welcoming and there are multiple seating options. We chose to sit where they had table service. Someone immediately showed up to help us with menus and water as soon as we got the table. Ordered a couple of drinks and food. It came out fairly quickly. The food: 1. Fish tacos were amazing. It comes with waffle fries or nachos. We ordered one of each. The tacos were nice and crunchy. The sauce was very flavorful. 2. Roasted butternut squash tacos were also very good. 3. Mac and cheese - Cant go wrong with this for the kids. Drinks: 1. Maple bacon old fashioned - This is a bacon infused old fashioned which comes with a torched bacon. It was amazing. 2. I forgot the name but this drink but it had kiwi in it. Was really good as well. Overall all of us liked our food and the service was really good. Will come back here.

    Steak bites and waffle fries Fried chicken sandwich and waffle fries Although I highly recommend the Garlic waffle fries.

    OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND FOOD!!!! BEST Bartender-Eric BEST Waitresses-Ellie, Cora and Kalea these people are so hospitable and understand what it takes to carry a business. They are attentive, respectful, social and always ready to recommend what's best on the menu. These ladies went out of their way to move patio furniture from downstairs to the upstairs, Just to accommodate me on a beautiful day. This is the kind of service and hospitality we need in Sonora. That's the kind of work ethic that should be rewarded but it's not too often anymore. Let's show support! Anyone coming through town please come and check this place out! Great ambiance and truly beautiful place to relax on date or with family.

    I have meant to come by here many times, and finally made it. We stopped in on our way back from Indigeny - what a great find!! A large open area is downstairs, with tvs and a bar, water feature, and various tables and seating areas with fire pits. Inside is a really cool bar where you walk through a barrel to get in, as well as a large private room - big enough for parties or receptions (with its own private bar). There is also a large area to eat upstairs outside. To order food, you go up to the counter and order - they like to keep your tab open unless you are paying with cash. The middle-aged lady at the register was a little less than polite to the person in front of me, and she didn't seem happy with the fact that I didn't want to keep my tab open. But other than that, everything - and everyone else - was great! Enjoyed the food, the servers, the atmosphere. Pulled pork was amazing and the butternut squash tacos were pretty good. Drinks were fantastic! Will definitely be back!

    What a gem! Stopped by The Armory on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised. First off -- the food was fantastic. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell the kitchen knows what they're doing. The ambience was super chill and perfect for a relaxed meal. What made it even better? They have a dog menu! As a dog owner, this was such a fun and thoughtful touch. My dog left just as happy (and full) as I did. The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Definitely one of those places that gets everything right -- food, vibe, service, and a little extra love for our furry friends. Will absolutely be back!

    It was a beautiful day in Sonora so we decided to get lunch at The Armory. We sat outside and the atmosphere was awesome. I had the Buddha bowl with chicken & hubby had the bbq hamburger special. His burger was cooked perfect & the waffle fries...outstanding! I really loved the fresh ingredients in my chicken bowl. Overall a great lunch.

    Beautiful bar, roomy indoor/outdoor seating area and taproom, upstairs outdoors too. Unique quality brew, inventive tasty cocktail, fine libations, and flights.

    This place was amazing! The service was top notch, everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful and made our time there feel like we were regulars. The whole building is SOOOO cool and a great place to hang out no matter where you are seated. Definitely on my list for a place on summer days! The menu is elevated bar food and everything was pretty tasty. We also had the soup and it came out lukewarm but might have been because of the compostable container it was served on. Otherwise the sandwich we had was delish and the pretzel was salty and warm and huge. I am so happy to have found this place and even with it being an hour from me I will add this place to my day out list moving forward.

    Food and fun!

They didnt have a printed kids menu but he helped my kids choose their food. We got ourselves some food and drinks as well. Everything came out fairly quickly. 1. The fancy fondue was very yummy. It came with toasted sourdough bread. 2. Garlic bread was also good. We dipped that into the fondue once we were done with the sourdough. It enhanced the taste further. 3. Kids loved the pepperoni pizza and fish & chips. 4. Our server also accommodated our request for a half and half garlic chicken pizza with no meat on one side. The pizza came out great. We didnt even leave the edges 5. For drinks we got the old fashioned and birthday cake which were both great. Will definitely be back here if in the area.

Their happy hour is DAILY from 14:00-16:00. The restaurant was pretty busy on a Sunday, but we didn't have to wait long for a table. Our server was attentive and friendly. For our cocktails, my friend went with the Huckleberry lemonade, while I went with the pomegranate whiskey sour. She thoroughly enjoyed her cocktail, and so did I. At that price point, I didn't expect much, but it was a solid cocktail, although not as strong as what I'd normally get elsewhere. The clam chowder sounded really good, and I couldn't help myself, so I ordered it. My friend is not a fan of seafood, so the chowder was all for me. The crostini was very nicely toasted and I loved dipping it into the chowder. I was also pleasantly surprised by the flavor and quality of the clam chowder. It was packed with a ton of clams, and was perfectly hearty without being heavy. We opted to share the fallen apple pizza, which was the perfect choice. The dough was pillowy and light, and the toppings delicious. I would have liked more apple slices, as it didn't seem like they were very prominent, and for the balsamic drizzle to be more uniform, but overall it was a solid pizza. I took leftover pizza home, and my husband enjoyed it for dinner. We heated it up in the air fryer and that was the way to go. While it was a little noisy in the restaurant, mainly due to a large group seated next to us, we still had a good experience, and the booth seating was comfy. I would love to bring my husband back to try more happy hour menu items next time we visit Sonora! The price point is seriously hard to beat, and Emberz is a solid spot for hanging out and having a good time.

It's not a fancy spot, the decor,…read moretables and chairs probably haven't seen an upgrade in a couple decades, but it's hands down a 5 star restaurant. I'm surprised they only have 3.7 stars. There is plenty of parking, plenty of seating. We came here on a Sunday evening and were greeted and seated right as we walked in. The staff is top-notch. I wish I would have gotten our waitresses name because she's a rockstar, she gave her recommendations, remembered our order (even with my friend asking her 100 questions and changing her mind a couple times) and was super attentive making sure to check in often. I also got to see other staff interactions with other customers and they were all friendly and attentive, also I feel there were quite a few regulars because the place really felt like you're walking into a friends house. We got the calamari appetizer, it was perfectly crispy and delicious. We all ordered steak and each one was perfection- cooked just how we ordered and tasted amazing with the different sauces. My fiancee got the white peppercorn and nearly licked his plate clean, I got the garlic one with sautéed mushrooms, and our friend went with the chipotle on the side (she ended up pouring it on top because it was amazing.) We've been to some fancy steakhouses, and this was better than most, with a much better price tag. The servings were generous and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Also the bread was hot and perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I wish we had room for dessert because I know it must be amazing too. We will definitely be coming back!

Last night my bestfriend & I decided to meet up at the Peppery for dinner. I arrived first and went in to get a table for the two of us. I was waiting in the entry area behind the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign. As I waited another party arrived and was waiting beside me. One of the servers came over walked past me and asked them for how many and took them to be seated. Interesting for me seeing as I had been standing there for a few minutes before they entered the restaurant, while servers walked passed me & those near the bar area made eye contact and went back to their duties. Another couple then came into the restaurant and were waiting beside me to be seated, a different server emerged and started walking towards us, she then asked if I had already been helped and got me seated at a table and got menus & drinks while I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she arrived our server got her drink order and checked to see if we need anything while we look over the menu. We noticed they have an updated menu with all the same favorites. My friend ordered the Angel Hair Pasta w/ Italian Sausage with a cup of soup to start, and I ordered the Garlic Roasted Ribeye with Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes & Seasonal Veggies with a house salad to start. The food was good not quite as good as I had anticipated. My friends pasta was over sauced, too much sauce for the amount of pasta. My steak had too much demi glaze on it; I did wipe most of it off and I will order it on the side next time. My steak was cooked slightly under what I requested but still good. We were so stuffed that we did not even want to look at the dessert menu. I probably will go back, but I will wait a bit before we return.

I don't drink beer, but they had other options for me to chose from. I particularly loved the boozy kombucha they had on tap.
