Staff was so friendly. The place is cute and comfy. Coffee is good! Food was delicious. My first coffee cup was dirty and my order was messed up, the tortillas are also not that great but honestly everything else tastes so good and the staff is so friendly I didn't even care. Even had someone approach me and asked what I was eating because it looked delicious.

I used to go here for weekend brunch with my family when I was a kid and used to live several miles down the road. Came back to visit and stopped by for good old memory. Still with good services (better before in the late 80s) and good foods, slow service but it was busy morning so understandable. Decor still felt like back in the good old days but with modern touch. Parking is great since it has a big lot. Prices are changed for sure but glad that I stopped by and try it again.

Steak fajitas
Emma N.

I came here for brunch on Saturday around 1130. There was a 10 minute wait and they don't take reservations. The inside had classic breakfast diner vibes. Our server Lindsey was awesome. Very patient and helped answer all of our questions and was attentive to all of our needs. I ordered the breakfast tacos which came with refried beans and I choose potatoes as my side. The portions at this restaurant are very large and the food was solid! I would definitely order this again! My husband ordered the steak fajitas and also really enjoyed it! This place has a huge menu, something for everyone!

It's our spot to visit every time we visit for spring training. Chorizo chilaquiles are perfect.

The Mediterranean omelette

The service was great. The food was good. We came in for brunch on Saturday on the place was hopping still Saturday at about noon! If we're in the area, we would definitely visit again. I wanted to try the biscuits and gravy, but I overheard the waitress tell another table that there biscuits were about the size of a softball and there's no way I could've eaten all of that!

Egg and bacon plate.
Michael S.

What looks like a former Denny's with a clay tile roof is a pretty standard breakfast and lunch place. The menu packs meals into combos, so if you're looking for a simple egg and bacon breakfast you purchase items as sides. Our server provided outstanding service. The kitchen also performed well by delivering correct orders quickly. It's a comfortable spot but the hard walls create a loud space once customers start filling seats.

Banana Nut Pancake

Traveling through the area, made a stop off of a yelp recommendations. Did not disappoint! Our server was Bella who was super sweet and informative about the area we were traveling through. She really made a difference in our visit, some local hospitality. The food was very delightful. Pancakes are huge. The overall restaurant is a little gem. Very clean and well put together establishment.

Did a quick google search for breakfast spots in the area after finishing up my workout at the gym. This place popped up and we decided to give it a try, as we really enjoy trying out new brunch spots. Upon entering The Cracked Egg, I immediately took notice of the warm, inviting, diner-style setting, which featured beautiful holiday decor, that introduced nice warm holiday vibes into atmosphere. Our server was very pleasant and personable, yet professional and efficient. I had a create-your-own omelette with, double eggs, turkey sausage, spinach, mushrooms and avocado. My sweetie had a strawberry yogurt parfait. Service was quick. My omelette arrived just as I had envisioned - it was fresh, hearty, beautiful and tasted delicious! It came with a side of hash browns that were seasoned well, cooked perfectly, and had a nice southern-type edge to them. My sweetie enjoyed her Parfait. We were checked on often by our server. We had a great first-time experience and will definitely return in the future. I highly recommend this great breakfast joint!!

Long ago a stranger passing through Black Canyon City stopped at the Biz E Bee Cafe. writing about "...pancakes big as your face...." I steal that line regarding The Cracked Egg. Remember Sambo's? It's a dim memory for me. I remember Fast Eddy's. But never stopped. The Cracked Egg is in the building now. If you like your food fast and restaurant loud and bustling this is your place. It is a restauranteur's dream. We ate at 10 am on a Monday. The house was full. Ashley was our server handling her tables well. She said her job is her gym. But, she gets paid instead of paying out. My lovely wife and I split a Denver omelette plus a side of crispy bacon. Sister had pancakes WAY bigger than her face. We brought 2/3 of her nreakfast home, finishing it today. The Cracked Egg is no Gas Monkey Garage. It is fast and loud with generous portions.

Farmers Skillet
Selenia P.

Had breakfast here on a Saturday morning. The hostess was quick to greet us and the wait time surprisingly was only 10 minutes. It's a very open space with big windows and a bar/counter to eat if you choose with no waiting. I had the farmer's skillet and a flight of mimosas. The food was amazing. Tasted home-cooked and very well seasoned. The mimosas were strong but hey, that's what makes them so good. I had a traditional, orange pineapple, orange cranberry and a cranberry flavored mimosa. They definitely packed a punched. Great place to go for breakfast or brunch. Family friendly and they offer a discount for GCU students. Loved it!

Cheesy French Dip Sandwich
Danielle R.

My friend brought over some food today from this restaurant for lunch. I ordered the French dip and fries, she ordered French toast, and my boyfriend ordered a country breakfast. I liked the beef in the French dip but I felt it was lacking the right quantity of meat and cheese. It was decent. I don't think the fries traveled well but they were edible. I think if I ate them fresh they would have been better vs floppy. She enjoyed her French toast, and even took some home with her. The country breakfast was tasty as well, including the biscuits and gravy. I would try the food here again, but probably in person if I'm in the west valley vs delivered.

This is where the service fell apart. The server never came back This is May in Phoenix. If the server was overloaded with other tables we could understand. This was not the case. There were 3 other patrons in the restaurant. All the servers and other employees were at the hostess stand and there were 4 of them. A bartender could tell visually that our drinks at that point were almost empty. However, we were not her customers Fair enough! However, at 4:15 pm I would expect our server to have come back to check on us. Also, not begrudging employees working double shifts. But, 2 other employees eating wings in the bar. All things forgiven if I had gotten decent service. I was going to eat dinner. But, given the service climate. I decided to cut my losses and pay for my beverages and leave . I would have commented to the Manager on duty if one has been visible. I have been to other locations of BobbyQ's and had a great experience. It's just a shame the employee's and management at this location don't care. Even though this location is only 3.5 miles from my house. I doubt I will be back. It might be a while, but will go to the 27th ave location. Good luck with this location You might want to fix your service challenges or you might go the way of Zen Burger. People will only put up with so much even if the food is exceptional. Don't rest on your Laurel's.

The atmosphere was wonderful, and the service made our entire family feel comfortable and cared for throughout the meal. As amazing as the hospitality was, the food completely stole the show. Every dish was spectacular, packed with flavor, and beautifully prepared. The absolute must-order is the jalapeño bacon burger -- perfectly cooked with just the right kick of spice and loaded with flavor in every bite. We'll definitely be returning for another incredible experience!

It looked pretty busy when we got there, and we heard live music would start at 7:00pm. For drinks, the menu says to ask about mocktails - I would prefer that they list it on the menu so that I have more time to decide. I forgot what was in my mocktail other than yuzu, but I enjoyed it. I think my friend's mocktail was blackberry with ginger beer. For food, they are known for their Aftermath Burger, but the Jalapeño Bacon Burger sounded even better. We told our server that we were going to share everything. We didn't ask to split the burger, but I guess he told the kitchen to, so that was a nice surprise. Did not see an up-charge for that either. The burger was SO good - loved the crispy edges of the burger patties. It was so flavorful, and I would definitely go back for it. The crinkle fries were extra crispy. The Rigatoni Alla Vodka was okay, though I wouldn't order it again. Same with the burrata - I was okay with the sliced almonds for some crunch, but the fresh strawberries did not pair well with the burrata for both my friend and me. Overall we had a good dinner with decent service. The live music was great and interactive too - the singer asked questions at a nearby table, then picked a song to sing based on the responses.

Right on Camelback, in a little nook of a building with a book store/coffee shop attached. We entered and were seated immediately. If you read any of my previous reviews, you'll know that my wife loves oysters. Per usual, that where we started. We got the oyster and a bottle of prosecco. A few mimosas to start the day. My friend arrived almost exactly when the oysters and bottle came out. We chatted and perused the menu. We were in no rush as we drank through the first bottle. My wife got the pizza that was on the menu. I forgot what they called it, but it was good. Nice crust, a savory sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. My friend ordered avocado toast I believe or something very similar. She's a psycho path that runs 20 miles every morning so she was ready to take in carbs. She tore through it like a starving cheetah tears through a gazelle. I had an omelette which was pretty good, but nothing that knock me out of my seat. It could have used a bit of seasoning but in all decent. We ordered a second bottle and that is when their DJ began playing music. He played soft jazz which definitely was not the vibe we were looking for. None of the aforementioned mention brought this rating down to a three star review. It was all 4 star worthy accept the service was not great. Far from it actually. Don't worry I still tipped 20% as I feel it's a bare minimum, but he didn't deserve it. As I stated we were seated immediately, but it took our server nearly 15 minutes to even acknowledge us. I didn't know who it would be, but when he finally did all I could think is that he passed our table numerous times prior to stopping. Once he did there was a serious "I do not want to be here" vibe in his body language and tone. My friend who didn't arrive till the oysters and bottle were served missed that initial interaction but immediately noticed it. She an A type and wanted to complain to the manager. I got her to let it go. I know every has there days and this might have been his. Through out our stay here, he rarely checked in on us. As a matter of fact I believe we drank through each bottle before he checked in. This is the sole reason my rating went from a 4 to a 3. I hope the guy was ok, but I wish it could have been something he didn't bring to work with him. No pictures again. Sorry... I really just like to enjoy the moments with the people I am with and forget to take pictures.

The Macintosh is described as a neighborhood restaurant that serves modern American and Southern cuisine. It was once called Grassroots Kitchen & Tap before it got rebranded. They have a diverse menu with a lot of different choices. Shrimp and Grits, Barbecued Beef Ribs, a Chicken Salad and Po Boy Sandwiches are some of the standouts. I settled on the Rotisserie Chicken which came with a side of onion rings. I'm a big pesto fan and loved the buttermilk pesto for dipping. I had a nice time and look forward to a return visit. In addition to happy hour, The Macintosh has brunch on the weekends.

The pasta itself was cooked well, the clams seemed fine, and the flavors were great. For dessert, two of us split the Brown Butter Cake, and because there was no menu we didn't realize it would be $17, but in the end it was worth it. The cake was topped with ice cream and there was caramel drizzled across the dish, really delicious and more impressive than I would've expected.
