    We had dinner at The Arrogant Butcher and overall it was a really solid experience. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out--our servers were friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in without being overbearing, which made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. The menu has a nice variety, and we each ended up trying something different. The sandwiches come with one side, and I decided to upgrade to the mac and cheese for an extra $3--and that was absolutely the right call. It was creamy, rich, and full of flavor--honestly the highlight of my meal. I ordered the French Dip, which had great flavor overall, though it was a bit more well-done than I personally prefer since I usually like mine closer to rare. Still, the bread was good, the au jus added nice depth, and it was an enjoyable dish. One thing that stands out for me is the salt and pepper mill on our table. I love freshly ground black pepper. My husband ordered the Kobe burger, and that was a definite win--juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. He really loved it. My daughter went with the steak, which she said was good, but it didn't quite stand out compared to some of the other dishes we tried. Overall, it was a good meal with a mix of standout items and a few that didn't quite wow us. The excellent service and comfortable atmosphere definitely added to the experience, and we'd come back again--especially knowing what to order next time

    Crispy Japanese Sweet Potato
    Samantha N.

    Went to The Arrogant Butcher and overall had a really nice experience. The crispy rice tuna was honestly perfection, definitely one of the best things we ordered. The meatballs were really yummy too, but I do wish there had been a little more sauce with them. I got the steak and it was cooked to the correct temperature, but it was a bit tough and chewy, which was a little disappointing. The sea bass on the other hand was perfection and probably my favorite dish of the night. The service was amazing and the staff were always really thoughtful and attentive. The ambience was fun and felt elevated but still casual, which made it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner.

    Prime Rib French Dip*
    Michael L.

    Impressed with everything. Our server Cameron was awesome, food was clutch (solid menu), great cocktails, & amazing deserts. French dip didn't disappoint-- lotta cheese (which I like) but make sure to ask light if you don't want it fully immersed in delicious cheese. Kobe burger really solid, crispy bacon & Mac & cheese side worth the upgrade. Meatballs were amazing, could eat 2 orders myself! And dessert was awesome, would go again anytime! And they gave us some nice note & champagne to celebrate our anniversary-- first class move!!

    The best Mojito I've had in a long time. Not to sweet! It was absolutely perfect
    Stephanie K.

    We went and tried the banana split which is new on the menu!! It is outstanding!! Michael our server was also fantastic! It was 1:00 on a Friday and it wasn't busy but it wasn't slow. The temperature inside was perfect! I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you do anything go now and get the banana split.

    Seasonal Sangria & Fairway Margarita!
    Yu W.

    Went on a whim without reservations, and got to sit at the chef's counter! Our server was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! So was the super welcoming manager! The layout is simply gorgeous. Their seasonal sangria and fairway margarita are strong but so refreshing and easy to drink! That Crispy Chicken Breast is hands down the best chicken dish that I've ever had anywhere. In fact, I'm still dreaming about it. Can't wait to go back to try more of their menu the next time I'm town! I've heard amazing things about their happy hour! Highly recommend!

    I recently moved to Arizona and have been exploring different restaurants. Last night, I visited The Arrogant Butcher in Downtown Phoenix to celebrate a friend's birthday with another friend who was visiting from Texas. This was my first time here. First, let me say that this place is fabulous! Their menu has a lot of variety and their food does not have MSG (mono sodium glutamate), which is crucial for those highly allergic to it (one of my friends is). That said, our waitress that we had was absolutely sweet, socially engaging, and delivered exceptional service. She welcomed all of us, explained the menu, and made sure to acknowledge the little but important things during our dining. One of my friends ordered steak and asparagus = sublime. I ordered chicken egg rolls, again, a delicious appetizer, and my other friend ordered fish chips with a side. My overall dining experience was wonderful, the ambiance is great, very social and chill environment but can also be intimate. I highly recommend this restaurant. I personally will be back again. I also gave my waitress a much deserved larger tip.

    A small group of us came for dinner before attending a concert at the AZ Financial Theatre. I had made a reservation several days prior and when we arrived we were immediately seated. There was a line building of patrons wanting to eat so we were glad we had the reservation. Friendly greeting upon arrival and when we were seated our server came over immediately to introduce herself and let us know she would be right back. We had time to review the drink and food menu; Jen was server and came for drink orders first. Wife ordered the Kiwi Water Margarita and I had water. Others also ordered drinks and when delivered, everyone said their drinks were perfect. Wife loved her margarita and was happy that they were able to accommodate her request for a sugar rim. Once drinks were delivered, Jen was quick to come back and take dinner orders. I ordered the fish & chips and wife ordered the crispy chicken. One of our friends ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip for the table and it came out warm and gooey. Everyone loved it!!! The fish & chips were fantastic...lightly battered rock fish which was tender and tasty. Loved the tarter sauce and actually ordered an extra one so my fries could be dipped. Came with slaw, which was creamy and savory...not sweet like sometimes it can be. I had asked for crispy fries and they delivered on that! Great dish and so happy! Wife had the crispy chicken which came with a filling of crab and green beans with a Calabrian Chile sauce which she said was tasty and not spicy at all. She loved it! The lemon caper butter was just the right touch and I would ask for some for the fish & chips as well because that combo would be so good! We ended our meal with the Old Fashion Cobbler (sorry no picture because everyone dived into it before I could photo it!)...wow that was pure pleasure! Full of spiced apples that were sliced and in a good slightly thick sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. Great way to end the meal. Overall, it was busy...a tad loud...but Jen was great, on top of things and we would definitely come again when in downtown.

    Shrimp, Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya
    Jenna P.

    I did a lot of research (on Yelp, of course) before choosing The Arrogant Butcher for a celebratory dinner while visiting Arizona, so my expectations were high. We started off with old fashioneds, and unfortunately, that set the tone for the night. We specifically asked for them to be made at half sweetness, but they came out incredibly sweet... more like 150%. When we mentioned it, our server (who was otherwise very sweet and attentive) asked if we wanted to order a shot to pour in and balance it out... but it wasn't complimentary. We weren't going to pay extra to fix a drink that wasn't made how we requested, so that part left a bad impression. On a brighter note, the tuna tataki appetizer was fantastic. This was easily the standout of the evening. Beautifully balanced flavors and textures that made me wish the same creativity carried into the entrées. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. It es flaky, buttery, and tender... but had almost no flavor. The vegetables underneath were tasty but minimal. The jambalaya packed plenty of heat but lacked depth. The farmer's market bowl was fresh, colorful, and overall one of the stronger dishes (though a little more chimichurri would have tied it together nicely). The boneless pork chop was flavorful and well-cooked. This was definitely the most satisfying entrée. Overall, it was a "meh" experience. A few dishes really shined, and our server was kind, but between the overly sweet drinks and uneven flavors, I left feeling like the meal didn't quite live up to the price point.

    Prime Rib
    Mckenzie O.

    Came here during restaurant week, my favorite time of the year in Phoenix! Got the oysters and the Butchers Platter to share for the table, the Oysters did have a little shell in them. Went with the Cesar salad, prime rib, and cheesecake for my 3- course meal. Our server was attentive and helped walk us through the menu as this was our first time here. Great location downtown right across the basketball arena where the Phoenix Mercury and Suns play and only a block away from Chase field. You can park in the garage attached to the building, either get a ticket at the entrance or if there's an event going on tell the attendant you're dining at the restaurant and they will give you one and your server will validate your parking for up to 2-hours.

    I got this food to go... and I was shocked at how delicious it was, even to-go!! I'm gluten free - so I got the baked chicken with a side of mashed potatoes (photo attached). So freaking good. Though I was only inside briefly, the inside/ambiance of the restaurant was very stylish and modern - it seems like a cool place to dine in. And the server who got my order was quick and friendly! I'd definitely check this place out! :)

    Atlantic Salmon with couscous and arugula in a yummy butter sauce
    Chandra J.

    My friends and I had a great time on Saturday evening! I was the last one to arrive and the restaurant was packed. I was able to check in with a staff member and hunt for my friends. I got the chance to walk around the restaurant which is huge. The front has a large square bar surrounded by tables and an outdoor patio with tables and masters. Behind the bar is a bustling kitchen and next to that are even more tables with two separate rooms in the back. I found my friends in a booth and got to check out the menu and the vibe. They have a great mix of sandwiches, burgers, and entrees as well as a specialized drink menu. The restaurant has a very laid back, but upscale vibe to it-you can be in shorts or a suit and fit right in. Our server was very nice and accommodating. He kept out water glasses full and provided some great recommendations. I went with the Atlantic Salmon that was super crispy yet soft on the inside. It was surrounded by arugula and couscous, which was in this buttery sauce that was oh so good! I got about half way through and couldn't eat anymore! Can't wait for the leftovers and to return to the Arrogant Butcher!

    What a gem in downtown Phoenix! We had an incredible experience at The Arrogant Butcher before heading to a baseball game just a short 10-minute walk away -- the perfect spot to kick things off. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance stood out: lively, stylish, and fun without being too loud. The staff was not only friendly but also impressively attentive -- they took my husband's celiac disease seriously and made sure everything was gluten-free with no cross-contamination. That kind of care and knowledge is rare and so appreciated. We ordered a variety of food and drinks and loved everything. The pork carnitas nachos were bold and flavorful, the cheeseburger was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the jambalaya had just the right amount of heat. Drink-wise, the daiquiri and marg were both refreshing and well-balanced. Highly recommend if you're catching a game or just want great food in a vibrant setting. We'll definitely be back!

    Best burger ever, he said.

    Hi Yousuf A. Yes we do!

    We have 4 separate reservations coming your way Sunday for early dinner as we have a concert at 7:00 at The celebrity theater. Will we be able to get our food in time to eat before the concert?

    What gluten free options do you have?

    Are they allowed dogs at outside seat area?

    Yes we do! We love dogs on our patio.

    Are they open on Christmas Day before the Suns game? Do you need a reservation for Christmas Day?

    What is the Dress code?

    Casual to business casual. You'll see some people a little more dressed for dates or for going out later, but you'll also get more casual too.

    Is there any private rooms available for reservations?

    Yes, I believe they have several private dining options or private spaces for groups. Check their website for details.

    Is the happy hour menu limited to the bar only? And is it available during Suns home games?

    Yes, Happy Hour is limited to the Bar area.

    Is anything on the menu made for vegans?

    Absolutely!

    Is there any free parking near the place on weekend? I know of the parking lot in COM, the street parking near Biosciences high school, but those are kind of far

    The restaurant validates parking in the garage attached - 2 hours I believe.

It was busy, but not packed, which made the service stand out more than it should have. I had to ask for water twice, never got a refill, and overall felt largely ignored--minimal eye contact, no real warmth, just an impersonal feel that didn't match the space. It felt like a place that may be a bit of a victim of its own success--popularity has grown, but delivery hasn't fully kept pace. Part of the appeal here is the permanent taco truck outside, which I know from past visits is excellent, and I love the truck's outspoken, unapologetic support for immigrants. That said, the cocktail itself was excellent. I was specifically looking for a coffee-based drink before heading to another event, and the Cambures al Estilo Foster delivered on flavor. It was tiny, though--served in a small stemmed glass, gone in a few sips. It did the job, but some may find the portion underwhelming for the price. No major complaints, but nothing pulling me back either. I'm adding a fourth star on a bit of a hunch--I'd like to think they can dial it back in if I return.

    A speakeasy apart of wren and wolf. I'm a big fan of speakeasy's so I was excited to try the trophy…read moreroom. I made a reservation online, they take a payment for each person that goes to your tab. In the end you basically get 2 drinks to pay off your reservation fee. Only drinks served here, no food. You have a certain amount of time for your reservation as well. You also put your phones away before entering. Overall it was good but I'm not sure if I'll to do it again.

    Trophy Room - I usually do not post bathroom pictures, but this one was very unique with numerous antlers overhead.
