    So we've been to kettle black a few times as a large work group, we usually sit inside the long table and they're very accommodating. We've tried everything from the fish and chips, to the California club and various sandwiches. I do prefer the crispy, cod, sliders, you can pair it with a cup of soup for a full lunch. Come and try.

    Came DT for the women's FF and a show at AZ Financial. Popped in for lunch. Nice beer selection. Service was ok. Turned off when greeting the server, his first comment was "Busy", as if I couldn't read the room. Food was good but too pricey; $19 chicken Sammie. Beers sat at the bar for several minutes before being served.

    1st Street Burger (3/5): Decent burger but nothing about it really stood out. Mine also came without the onion ring... Fries were just fine. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Madeline was our server on a busy Saturday night. She was friendly and patient. We lucked out with nearby street parking and were seated right away. My husband was eager to try a new IPA, but they were out. Another was suggested, but it wasn't good. I stuck with water -- which was great! It took a while to get silverware after our entrees arrived, which was a bit annoying, but dinner itself was good. I ordered the pork belly sliders, and my husband had the Reuben with fries (to share) and a side salad. I love that they offer Thousand Island - so many places don't! My meal was good, his was excellent. Portions were generous, though the fries were undercooked and a little flimsy - good flavor, though. Dinner came to about $60 after tip. Nice to try something different, but overall, not quite worth the effort.

    The drinks were great the food was even better but the service, the hospitality a 10/10! They definitely take care of their customers As a first timer I give the whole experience a 10/10. I highly recommend

    The food did not disappoint. It was well seasoned. The waiter was nice and the atmosphere was cute.

    Decided to come here last minute before a concert and it did not disappoint. Our party of 3 were seated pretty fast after they cleaned a table. I got the pork belly sliders and they were soooo delicious! My husband got the lamb wrap and also said it was tasty. Our friend got the Caesar salad wrap and he too said it was delicious. We were all very happy and ate every bite! Our server was friendly as well!

    Draft menu

    We came by from out of town for an early lunch. I'm on vacation, so felt justified trying a flight. About 2 beers on draft were out, but the 4 i selected were very good. My husband and I split a pretzel, which was deliciously scalding hot with a side of very potent Dijon mustard and white cheese sauce. I ordered a full glass of the hazy Spellbinder and was not disappointed. Hubby got the pork belly mac'n cheese, which I had a few bites of. It was pretty good, the cheese had a subtle sweetness from the pork. We sat outside, which I know staff hated, and ended up swapping an outside table to an outside bar stool in the shade. Food was great. Staff was a little slow on things like refilling hubby's iced tea.

    Bavarian pretzel and fish and chips
    Steven K.

    The best fish and chips in town are at the Kettle Black, hands down! The evening I walked into the Kettle Black was an evening where the pub bustled with activity. Lively chatter filled the room. Families enjoyed their meals along one wall of the pub, while the bartenders worked their way up and down the length of the bar, serving food and drinks to bar patrons. The place was packed, and spirits were high. Once I had seated myself at the bar, I looked over the menu. The Kettle Black offered a good selection of pub food, and I'd come here for dinner after hearing good things about this place through word of mouth. As bar staff started me off with a glass of water, I ordered the fish and chips and the Bavarian pretzel. My food soon arrived piping hot, and I took a bite of the fish first. My first bite was one of surprise! It's not often that I've had fish and chips seasoned with cracked black pepper, and the black pepper really highlighted the dish for me. The fried fish had satisfying crunch and left lingering notes of salt and pepper on my tongue. The tartar sauce was smooth and bright with pickled zing. I enjoyed the comforting salted starchiness of the fries, and the tartness of the freshly cut coleslaw rounded out the dish nicely. The Bavarian pretzel was another winner. Luxurious and buttery, sprinkled with salt, this pretzel was a pleaser. Whether I paired each bite of pretzel with smooth, soft cheese or sharp, tangy mustard, every mouthful was delicious. Although the dinner rush was in full swing, the bartenders still checked on me during my meal. I really appreciated the attentiveness, and I felt very much at home. My time at the Kettle Black impressed me, and I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in town.

    We had a big group, it was for a conference nearby and despite our large group we were given good food and nice service. I do think the server was a bit pressured as our group was so big but they were able to accommodate us. We had to wait some time for our food but I would say the food options were good and with lots of pub variety.

    Hair on the red pepper for my salad

    Grubhub Delivery Review: The food was made promptly and it was delivered earlier than anticipated- which was great! I opted for the Pork Belly Sliders (because it seemed like one of the more popular item per Yelp) and the Citrus Chicken Salad. The pork belly sliders were good (slightly fatty) and I wish there was a little bit more cabbage slaw or freshness to combat the fattiness of the protein- the brioche bun was toasted beautifully. The salad looked amazing but unfortunately, it tasted slightly off and I found a hair in it so I tossed it. Grubhub did say they'll offer a credit.

    Christian & Henry are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I've never been to Phoenix before today & these 2 made me feel right at home. But even better! I love going to new cities because I love checking out new bars & meeting new people. 12/10 recommend this bar to everyone!!

    Claudia C.

    Awesome pub!!! If you are going to the game I recommend going to this place beforehand, the food was delicious. We walked right in no wait and grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were extremely nice and helpful as soon as we sat down. It's a traditional club so very laid back atmosphere. We tried the Pork Belly Sliders which were a 10/10 absolutely incredible and we also had the Philly cheesesteak fries also a 10/10. The portions were large and me and my husband did split both. The bartenders made me a delicious espresso martini which was amazing. We will be back!

    Ask the Community - The Kettle Black Kitchen & Pub

    Is it quiet enough for normal table conversation?

    Not really, it's quite compacted in the place.

    If you walk out of Stand up Live Mon-Thursday around 8:30-8:45 and enter the restaurant just before 9pm, is that too late for a entree / pint or two provided you’re out by 10? Or is that too late for the staff / Impolite?

    Call the Kettle Black & I am certain that they can entertain ANY questions you might/may pose concerning their outstanding establishment! (602) 651-1185 is the phone number! Give them a jingle otay????????????????????

    I don’t like spicy. Can I get the cod sliders with regular sauce?

    I am sure you can get these without being spicy, just request it.

    Do you have a Dog friendly patio? Any drinks that are non alcoholic?

    Are you open Christmas Day before the Suns game and if yes do we need a reservation?

    How late is Kitchen Service?

    Website's hours posted for M-T 11:00 to 12:00 midnight F-S 11:00 to 02:00 AM

    I wish their hours on yelp were correct. They're closed now at 2:20pm. Why doesn't the restaurant…

    Could have had to close unexpectedly for that moment.

    Can the black bean burger be made vegan omitting cheese and siracha cream?

    Yes! And they have hand cut fries for a vegan side!

    Is the place ok for children to dine in?

    Well behaved elementary school age should be fine.

    Do they have gluten free menu items or items that can be substituted to make it gluten free? Thanks

    No, sorry. I wish I did know. Went there on vacation. I would stick to veggies and proteins. Chicken and Grass Fed meats. Hope that helps. You can't go wrong the the above.. Great Regards... Alex

    They only take reservations for 10 or more :-(?

    No reservations.

    Do they take reservations?

    The guy today said they only take reservations for party of 8 or more.

It's been very hard to find chicken gizzards anywhere other than Lolo's but to find out that this place is just a couple miles from me. I had to try them. The chicken gizzards were excellent the meat soft where they should be soft and chewy where thry should be chewy. even though they were delivered by Grubhub they were steaming hot. I ordered the four piece cod which came with crinkle fries. The fries were properly salted and crispy. The fish was tasty, but not nearly as hot as the chicken gizzards and two pieces were a little dry on the inside. This lets me know that they were likely fried before I placed my order. The fish had a completely different batter than the chicken gizzards, but each batter was appropriate in flavor. Since this was my first Grubhub order Ever and I've never used DoorDash either I was surprised at how fast everything got here. I think next time I will actually go into the restaurant to place my order because I know they also have thrifty ice cream and I was afraid it would melt if the delivery took too long. I love thrifty ice cream. I would definitely order again

The larger pieces were a good texture with a crispy outside however the smaller pieces were a bit chewy.

The area is a little sketch late at night so keep that in mind but we did have great service.

Long story short, we ordered a to-go burger to take to a family member that was not with us. We ordered the burger, the server asked "kids burger?" , we replied no-just a regular burger. We boxed up our remaining food as well and paid via the handheld POS (with 20% tip) and were asked if we wanted a receipt, we declined and left. We come to find out as we delivered the burger to our family member that what was boxed up for us was just a meat patty. Nothing more, just a patty. I have no idea what we paid for this, as I declined my receipt--but in what world does a customer order a meat patty to go? Can't say I'll be excited to come back to Pedal Haus as there are several different breweries nearby that likely have a good burger that isn't just a meat patty.
