I love the Collins and their service. Do not order the grouper sandwich. $22 for a very small piece of fish that doesn't even cover half the small bun. Lots of better values for fish in the area read more

I sincerely enjoy coming to this place. The ambiance is so bliss. The staff is incredible, nice, enjoyable. Taylor is a joy to be around. She is super sweet and always happy to help. James works the bar like no other and I am excited to see Billy do the same. They both have amazing energy. The club sandwich is my favorite!! I can't rave enough about it. The bread is sooo perfectly toasted. Not too much or too less. When they have the chicken pozole soup... oooff so flavorful. Not going to lie, did not expect this place to have good pozole. I'm so excited when it happens to be the soup of the day. I almost want to ask for the entire pot in the back to goooo! read more

Thank you JP for a great dining experience! The food and drinks were great and we were checked on constantly whether it was to get our plates cleared or refilling our drinks which we appreciated. We honestly had a great time and were enjoying our dinner until one of the staff members came over stating we needed to tone it down because of several complaints. While we completely understand if we were being too loud, from us laughing and enjoying our time, it was the way she went about it that rubbed us the wrong way. We ended up wanting to bring it up to the manager about our experience and how JP was great the entire time. The manager then made a comment such as "oh, he was great for once". We did not appreciate a manager speaking about her employee like that at all. Although the food was great, some of the staff gave us a bad experience and will probably not be returning again or recommending. read more

We've recently been frequenting The Collins. It's quickly becoming a go to option. Among my favorites are their crispy fish sandwich with a Caesar salad instead of their fries, and their baby back ribs which were fall off the bone delicious! In fact, I'm considering going there for a late lunch/early dinner. Another favorite is their roasted cauliflower with a tahini dipping sauce!!! YUMM!!! Whether you're seated at the bar or in that part of the restaurant or in the main dining room, the ambiance is outstanding, although the bar area can get noisy. The service has been excellent every time we've eaten there. It's worth giving a visit. read more

Wow, this was an incredible meal! Our server Adam was spot on with our service. We shared 4 different appetizers, our favorite was the onion dip and the pimento cheese and guacamole duo! We wished the appetizers came with serving utensils. We all ordered cocktails and they came out fast and delicious! I had the spicy chicken pizza and it was so tasty! I knocked one star off because the restaurant was SO hot inside it was somewhat uncomfortable. But the restaurant was beautiful and the food and drinks were very tasty. And thanks to our server Adam for making our night a great one! read more

The Collins happy hour is unbeatable. Excellent martinis, beautiful appetizers and comfortable seating. The service is always five star. Highly recommend. read more

Had been here many years ago and it was always good but now it's great! They changed the menu up big time and everything was so delicious! Oysters were wonderful and crab cake dish enjoyable. Friend had Lasanga I think it was mushroom and raved about it. Place gets crowded and lively. Didnt realize they are also part of restaurant company that includes Grassroots which I've also been to for Happy Hour -fantastic pork belly and salmon lettuce wraps. Also Neighborly had really good hamburgers. All part of the boutique chain. Sorry I forgot to take photos. read more

Service was incredible and friendly, food was even better. Get the oysters you won't regret it. Shoestring potatoes were a pleasant surprise, fantastic flavor on every plate we ordered. Can't wait to come back read more

My fiancé and I were on a mission to find a restaurant week location to celebrate our engagement. We landed at The Collins. The restaurant ambiance was upscale and inviting. Our server Julia led us on culinary journey. First stop was an seafood appetizer smorgasbord. Next came the main courses baby back ribs and prime rib. I wish I could create a Time Machine to go back 11 hours so I could experience the first bite of the prime rib. Let's just say it slapped. Possibly one of our favorite parts was the limited time dessert. I don't want to steal the surprise. Trust me when I say ask for the Sticky Toffee Pudding. If you don't get it you are a fool. Julia was attentive, inquisitive, and gave us wonderful recommendations. It was as though we had know her for years. This night will not be forgotten. We look forward to returning to Collins soon. If you go to The Collins, ask for Julia! read more

This find was a happy accident. We planned to go to another restaurant but it was closed for a private event. We had the white pizza and the short ribs, both excellent and enough for leftovers the next day. Service was attentive and prompt. Restaurant and patio were comfortable and attractive. read more

Came here for a quick lunch take-out as I was staying and working nearby. The noodle salad was fantastic - very refreshing, good number of shrimp and a hearty portion size that made a filling lunch. Everything was cooked well. I also got the cauliflower side - I enjoyed the tahini dressing but only got a few pieces (like 3?) of cauliflower. Staff was very nice - served me quickly despite me being an odd case (showed up to eat there but then had a last min meeting schedule so took it to go). read more

Dined at Collin's for the first time during Restaurant Week. Love the atmosphere and view of the open kitchen. We ordered a dozen oysters from the HH menu to start and immediately knew the oysters were from Washington, so buttery! Everything we ordered was amazing! We definitely will be back to order from the menu and keep Collin's on our list of restaurants to choose from when dining out!! read more

Dannngggg... I wish I hadn't waited so long to visit Collins Small Batch Kitchen! We had a group of four with reservations and last-minute decided to move to the outdoor patio to enjoy the beautiful (early) evening... and they quickly accommodated us! Then came the drinks - I opted for the featured drink. It was a handful of ingredients, but all I remember is that it had prickly pear in it... and it was awesome -- just the right mix of sweet and strong! I tried a bite of my wife' ahi tuna poke... and that was delish! Upon the server's recommendation, I went with the Braised Beef Short Rib and... it lived up to the hype! Highly recommended! They had plenty of gluten-free options available (or would otherwise have tried to accommodate me), so that was great and appreciated! Service was superb, friendly, and attentive! Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS***** read more

I'll get the bad over quickly. We've given up on ordering the filet mignon which we'd order 75% of the time at any other place. That said we really like this place a lot The happy hour menu is fantastic. The bar tenders are friendly and have amazing memories for our likes and dislikes. The sausage mushroom pizza is to die for. Lunchtime citrus salad is as good as there is in metro phoenix. The burger is top notch as well. Bad filet that's ok!!!! read more

We decided to hit this place for dinner during restaurant week. Reservations are highly recommended. There is parking but you may have to walk across the parking lot so be prepared. We had reservations on the patio at 6:30 pm and we were seated after we had time to order drinks at the bar. Our waiter was very personable and interacted with us a number of times during the meal. We ordered off the restaurant week menu. Unfortunately, the y were having problems with the prime rib so they substituted short ribs, which I ordered. It was good but Gayl B, after tasting it, decided she preferred it to her pork chop, so we swapped. I liked the pork chop but I thought it was a little overly breaded. For my fist course, I ordered the ham steak and egg which is a total winner and highly recommended. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse pie, which was also spectacularly scrumptious. My Cabernet Sauvignon was a perfect complement to my meal. Parking can be tricky and you may be relegated to the far side of the parking lot. There is usually parking behind the restaurant. Overall a very enjoyable experience. read more

We left happy and satisfied!! First impression here was beautiful decor and friendly staff. Started with the Brussel Sprouts - it's a must. We also had the oysters, flown in from Washington state. Delicious! Dinner - Kids meals, they opted for the grilled shrimp and it was a great portion for my 6yo. My 10yo wishes there were more than 4 pieces of shrimp so it worked out that she ate off of sis's plate. I had the wild mushroom lasagna and hubby ordered the rotisserie chicken. The presentation for both entrees were trendy and everything tasted as good as it looked! The chicken was juicy, and the side spaghetti squash was perfectly light. Didn't leave him feeling stuffed or heavy. The lasagna was savory so the salad was a nice pairing. Libations? We tried the Gilligan's Island spicy rum coconut drink and it was so refreshing and light! Yummmmm! It was perfect with dinner. Can't wait to visit again! read more

The food is always good and consistent. The service is always spot on attentive, not overly overbearing atmosphere is just fine.

I first discovered this restaurant 2 years ago, and it quickly became our family's favorite, and still remains our favorite today! We come here because the service is absolutely amazing, always consistent and friendly! You can tell how well the staff is trained! Everyone teams up, and sincerely cares about your dining experience! The food is obviously the second reason we come! You will always have incredible prepared food, the menu will sure to please everyone in your party! A must try is their Biltmore Chicken tenders, crispy, tender, and full of flavor. I think they take 3days to make, so it pays off! You won't be disappointed. The general manager Kiela(sp?) I think that was her name, came by our table and made friendly conversation, and made sure our meal met our expectations and of course it was perfection! Our server Krista was amazing as well, so attentive, had great recommendations, I tried the twisted noodle salad with shrimp,( her recommendation) so glad I tried it, this could easily become my favorite thing to eat, the tangy dressing, is to die for! Like I said before,, the service and food here is about as good as it gets! Love this place, we will continue to make this our Family's favorite restaurant, because The Collins has only improved with time! Absolutely the best around! read more

Great service! Ambiance was great in the dining room. The music wasn't too loud, so able to carry a conversation with our waitress and friends. Berries and Bourbon drink was on point. And the Coconut Cream Pie!!!!!!! Wow!!! Best Coconut Cream Pie I have EVER had!!! I almost ordered a slice to go!!!! read more

Love this place! They have an awesome Happy Hour menu and our server, Hayley, made some great recommendations. My husband had the charred shrimp risotto which was on the HH menu and I had the lump crab cake and greens from the regular menu. The crab cake is so flavorful and the aioli adds an extra level or flavor to it. The side greens with the Green Goddess dressing was so fresh and flavorful as well. My husband's risotto was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were delicious. We also shared the Mac n cheese with short rib - Wow'. I will be back for that for sure. Hayley also recommended the Tres Leches cake and the Coconut cream pie which were divine. Love the ambiance of this place. The food, Hayley's great service and ambiance will be bringing us back' read more

Hello, just wanted to inform you that yesterday's lunch was fantastic. The only problem that we had was I went into the bathroom to wash my hands and one of your employees was doing number one. When he got done he never washed his hands left the bathroom and went straight to serving people. He didn't serve us but if he would've came to our table we would've called him out. I got his name if you want it. read more

Booked a reservation through OpenTable to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Once we arrived the hostess was very friendly and asked if we were celebrating an anniversary....even asked how many years. Once seated the waiter was very friendly and also recognized our anniversary. From the happy hour menu we ordered the onion dip and the whiskey and orange cocktail. Also got the drink special which was a lavender bees knees. All were delicious! For dinner we shared the club house salad and pepperoni and olive pizza. The salad was very good however the pizza crust was very dry. Overall a very good experience and we will definitely go back. read more

This could maybe be a 3.5 or a 4, but.... Ambiance: pretty good vibe. 3.75 Food: 3.75 Service: 3.75 Came here with my new wife and just turned 83 mother. Seated immediately with smiles and good seats. A little noisy. Drink orders taken. I asked for a recommendation and was only given the answer of "this is what is most popular." Martini, nothing special. Spicy Margaritas, better than average, not too sweet, a plus for me. Server, drop dead gorgeous, prob a model, confessed she was new, which became evident throughout the night although she was always kind and gracious. Her timing was not perfect, she messed up one thing on my order which was quickly and elegantly corrected (although not comped). Oddly, the food runners throughout the night dropped everything off, from drinks to plates, at random spots on the table which seemed odd considering they must have a POS system indicating table positions??? Slightly annoying and amateur considering the ambiance and the price point. Oysters were nicely presented, above average, sauces were, meh. Mother loved her very large "small" Caesar. They gave us side plates that were hot. Not good for oysters or a salad. Amateur. Mom's Short Rib Mac n Cheese was excellent, although needed a little salt (as did most things). Wife's blackened tuna was also superb, but the plating seemed unbalanced as it came with a beautiful "herb" salad (arugula) including cherry tomatoes and then a "salad" of "vine ripe" tomatoes. My Rotissiere Chicken unfortunately did not look anything like the picture on their website (haha, I know better). It was pretty good, seemed like it was brined in something that had a little sweetness to it which I don't really like, but ok. Was clearly par or pre cooked and then reheated, did not come out piping hot for sure. The "Pommery Mustard" was a joke, just don't bother. I didn't get the blisterd tomatoes as advertised. I had asked for a small "club salad" as an add-on (because it was listed as an option on the menu, and this is what our server messed up on), and the ingredients were great, but the dressing and blue cheese on it were way overpowering that I could only eat half of it). The spaghetti squash which was initially forgotten but brought out upon request, was PERFECT! It was the highlight of my night! Whoever made it needs to make everything else, or, needs to pay the same amount of attention to the rest of the food. I shared it with everyone else. The glass of old vine Zin that I had was overchilled...... I just can't..... They gave us a wonderful piece of chocalate mousse cake for mom's birthday which was surprisingly good and very nice of them. I would come back here, but they need to work on a few service issues and food as well. read more

I've been here twice (invited by friends both times) and it's good but not great. Food is too salty or rich or bland. Just off pretty often. It's got a nice lunch ambiance and dinner is crazy loud. Shoestring fries: Great Burrata: it's fresh soft cheese. Of course it's great. Brussel sprouts: meh. Bizarrely rich. Risotto: fine. On the soft and saucy side. Broccolini: perfect Halibut: overly salted and $40 I had some other stuff but not very memorable. Always great service here though. read more

Ok... I just LOVE this place! Talk about checking all the BOXES!!! I am just feeling so blessed that I live so lose to this place! Take-out is a God Send Breeze! Dining in is great too!!

Oh they even have an outdoor dinning area to accommodate your wishes if the weather is nice! The Staff.. (DRUM ROLL PLEASE....is AMAZING!!!) LOVELOVELOVE!!!!! read more

This was my first time trying out this restaurant. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night and walk ins are welcomed. We ordered a few appetizers from their happy hour menu and all of them were pretty tasty. My favorite was between the Mac and cheese and the risotto. Happy hour is daily from 4 to 6 pm. I thought prices were reasonable. The only thing I didn't like was it was too loud and almost hard to have a conversation but other than that I would definitely come back again and try their full menu. read more

Came here for a date night and it was a success! She got the steak, I got the beef short ribs. Short ribs were amazing and tender. The steak was a bit tough, however it was a NewYork, so that's to be expected. The drinks were on point. Appetizers were tasty. Service at the bar was awesome. It was a pleasant experience all around. The only negative thing was steak sauce was not our jam. Just not the taste that we like if we do use steak sauce. read more

I've always liked the Collins, central location, easy to find, a variety of food- something for everyone type of menu. But this was the first time I did The Collins delivery and I was very happy. Okay: disclaimer, we were so excited about the food, we ate then I snapped a few photos. Also, I want to mention, I have a gluten allergy, so gluten free food menu items always make me happy. To start, we had the PECAN WOOD-FIRED ARTICHOKES ocean mist farms . parmigiano-reggiano . citrus aioli for $13. We received 3 half grilled artichokes, to perfection, not to mention the citrus aioli was killer! Next we had the THE BISTRO BURGER asadero . vine tomatoes . red onion . dressed arugula . dijon . mayo . noble brioche (sub gluten free bun) $15 This, basic burger is nothing but basic. Cooked to perfection, even after delivery and tasty! Although full, we didn't stop there... We also ordered some BABY BACK RIBS slow smoked . thin bbq sauce . grill finished . shoestring potatoes . collins cashew slaw $26. The ribs were good, fall off the bone good, but honestly, not very meaty. Also would have loved an extra side of the tasty bbq sauce it was made with. The slaw, was really good, even put some on my burger and that was good! Lastly, we also tried the MARGHERITA san marzano tomato . common ground burrata . torn basil . maldon sea salt .. cracked pepper . evoo $15 on the gluten free crust. I found the pizza too salty this time, no cracked pepper or torn basil on top, which was a real bummer, because margarita pizzas are designed to simple and the basil would have made this wow. Looking forward to the next time we dine there, in person. The experience was great from home, but will be better, at the bar, with a tasty beverage. Cheers! read more

What a disappointment. The service was fine. The restaurant was so noisy that I couldn't hear my dining partners. The food was fair at best. Pizza had a soggy bottom.

I went to Collins on a Saturday night. Happy hour is daily from 4-6pm, so that was a win. Many of the dishes are shareable, so that was perfect for someone like myself who has difficulty committing to one thing. We ordered the shrimp risotto, blue crab Mac n cheese, sliders, salmon tartare, and shrimp cocktail. All were good. I do regret not ordering the noble bread. That looked amazing. read more

A fabulous restaurant tucked in the NW corner of a shopping center. Dined during "Happy Hour" and the Margarita's we ordered certainly made us "Happy"! The Sauza Hacienda Reposado Tequila is now my favorite. This tequila along with a slightly sweet and not so sour Margarita mix made for a smooth tasting drink. Our entrees of tender Baby Back Ribs and Braised Sort Ribs added another level of happiness. I substituted the cashew slaw for Spaghetti Squash w/lemon butter. The Parmasen Risotto is the "Adult Mac & Cheese as told to us by our fabulous server "Maddie". Both sides came with our entrees and up'd our level of tastebud happiness! read more

(Lyrics - Lana Del Rey - West Coast) Down at The Collins they got a kitchen If you're not drinking then you should be eating And you've got the oysters, you've got the oysters in you, don't you? Down at The Collins they got me Yelping like It all could happen that's why I'm Yelping You for the pizza, you for the pizza, Bo Bites, it's true I'm eating fast and push away, the Noble Bread is hot to the touch I sip the drinks and I wanna say I miss it so much But stopping keeps me really quiet, I'm hungry, I'm too much I Yelp, I Yelp, I Yelp I can hear my belly singing This ambiance of fire and my hands are up On the patio And I'm munching Ooh Collins, Ooh Collins, I'm in love Another success to the Common Ground Culinary group as The Collins Small Batch Kitchen delights our palates! The ambiance is definitely semi-posh with enough home vibe to be inviting and not too over the top fine dining. Drinks here are traditional with a twist of modern flare. We started with the Bourbon & Berries and the Bourbon & Rosemary; my partner and I quickly found we liked each other's drinks better and switched. I like the Bourbon & Berries because I could taste some of the bourbon with a hint of the berries. The Bourbon & Rosemary was too sour for me. For our meals we started with some toasted Noble Bread and butter; man, I love Noble Bread and if you don't know, it's a local bakery worth checking out! Along the way, we ordered a half-dozen oysters; I'll eat oysters, but can't say they're my cup of tea. For our entree, I went for the firewood pizza - Atta Boy which came with sausage, bacon, pepperoni, asadero, mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, and basils. Needless to say, I loved it and gobbled it all! The crust had a perfect toast and crunch while the ingredients; salty and savory hit my palates with an aromatic punch. In the end, The Collins chill vibe and good'o American menu brings it home for me. Service was on top of it and definitely a return for this Yelper! Enjoy! read more
