Honestly, I would give this quaint little place 10 stars if I could! The place is soo cute, the owners & staff are friendly but their food is phenomenal! They truly take pride in EVERYTHING they make!! Today we ordered to go so by the time we got home we both had half sandwich left and I tried not to finish my tea so I can take a good pic! Everything is fresh, breads are delish and bacon was crispy! I got a simple BLT and it's the best I've ever had! My hubby always LOVES their Italian Lover on a sub roll! SO good!! All their beverages are amazing!! If you need a mid-day pick me up, order the "Blue Dasher Energy", great flavors and gives you energy without the shakes! Today I had my second "Palm Beach Handshaken Tea", my new FAV!! My hubby also raves about their iced Caramel Macchiato. No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend this cafe! read more

I've eaten here before and the salads are the best! I wouldn't get the breakfast eggs again (called a 'scramble' I think), as the eggs tasted like they'd been put in the microwave..def not the best. But I'd go back again anytime for a salad or other items. Friendly staff here :) read more

This location was across from the hotel i was staying in. I got the build your own sandwich. You walk in and order inside at the front or can order ahead. If you need help ordering on the tablet the employees were helpful. Sandwich came out fast and it was all really good - i ordered turkey and veggies of my choice on a croissant. My boss ordered a sandwich with chipotle mayo and she said it was also very good. We sat inside but there was outdoor seating also and plenty of covered and uncovered parking. Inside was super clean and had all extras you would Wish we had one closer to Ft Worth. read more

I'm struggling to come up with words to explain just how tasty this place is! The tuna sandwich & lemonade 1 got is made in house, you can't beat that! They were in their slow hours so the gentlemen behind the counter placed my order for me on the tablet which I appreciated. The store is small & gives off a modern Mom & Popshop feel, comfortable. read more

It's a bit confusing to locate. It's in the middle of a large parking area surrounded by office buildings. When we got there for lunch, it wasn't busy at all but it got busier around noon. We shared a Queen Club and their Italian. As a meal with chips and a small drink, our bill was over $24. Both sandwiches were good but the Queen Club was the better one. Lots of meat and easy to eat. The Italian was a little disappointing. We were expecting it to be warm. That's probably part our fault for not asking. It was nicely dressed but even the bun was cold. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean. read more

I started a new job in the area recently and of course, it's always important to find the best places to grab lunch and/or breakfast. So far, Lunch Lounge is the only place I've tried, but with the way it's going, I may not need any place else. I've tried breakfast just once so far, but definitely plan on doing that again. I went with the Big Toasty and it was right up there as one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. As for lunch, Wednesday is now my favorite day. It's the only day they have their chicken salad, which I have completely fallen in love with. I get it on the sourdough, but you could also get it in a salad. The sourdough is so fresh and delicious that I'm pretty sure that's how I'll always be getting it. I did also try the Hot Roast Beef Press, which was good, but I prefer my roast beef in cold sandwiches. There are definitely a number of other things on the menu that I want to try. I just have to go in a day other than Wednesday since I have no intention of passing on the chicken salad. Oh, and they use Boar's Head which is always the sign of a great sandwich. If you're in the neighborhood, you should make sure to stop in for breakfast or lunch...or even both. I won't judge. In fact, I'll applaud your smart decision making. read more

First time in Arizona. This was about two blocks from our hotel and the food here was worth the walk in the heat. I got the Southwest Chipotle Panini. Hands down the best thing I have had during our stay here. We came back two days in a row because it was so good. The service was quick! The staff was incredibly nice. You order on a tablet which made things move quickly. It wasn't too busy either of the days we visited. It's a bit on the smaller size but it was cute and clean! There is a restroom as well. Highly recommend! read more

Craving a healthy lunch but still want a little spice ? Stop by the lunch lounge they have this amazing sandwich called Southwest Chipotle Chicken Panini definitely not your regular sandwich as it has Sliced Chicken Breast, Bacon, Pepperjack Cheese, Tomato and Chipotle Mayo grilled on Sourdough. The chipotle mayo just makes it pop in your mouth! If you don't want that extra kick they have several different sandwiches & salads ! You can even make your own! & to top it off they have these amazing desserts for example the chocolate chip muffin and the chocolate chip cookie both SUPER SOFT AND SCRUMPTIOUS! They also serve breakfast until 11AM which I will try Soon ! read more

Quality option next to the Hampton Inn. We stopped in around 11am to grab a lunch to take to the airport before our flight home. The staff was very friendly and instantly greeted us when we walked in and there wasn't a line. We were unfortunately told that there would be a 20min wait for anything with chicken. I ordered the King of Clubs Sandwich and made it a meal with chips and a drink. The sandwich was ready in less than 5 minutes and I was out the door. The sandwich was large but I was surprised that the bread wasn't toasted. I guess I assumed clubs were always on toasted bread but I may be wrong. Everything seemed very fresh which was refreshing for a quick sandwich shop. Overall, this was a great lunch stop for us! I'd recommend trying them if you are in the area, especially walking over from the hotel. read more

Okay I have to start off by saying I don't like deli restaurants that are located in the same places as corporate businesses. The food hasn't been good and I'm usually just desperate to not reach a state of hangry. I also need time to relax and it doesn't feel relaxing being that close to Corporate. That is my only beef with this place. I was heading to the airport and stopped here which is what I like about this place....location. I needed real food not airport hurt your stomach junk. The sandwiches are amazing. Good thick fresh bread, happy fixings for meat and non meat eaters and if you like your bread toasted, they toast it. The cashier is warm and patient and the drinks were great for those with a sweet tooth and those without. Food presentation is even nice. So if you're around the area, pop on in. You won't be disappointed. read more

At first, no big deal, but when I went to go the person who took my order, she said "no, you ordered the caesar" (so she misheard me and then corrected me about my own order), asked if I wanted them to just put bacon on it, and then the person making the order said, "I'll just make a new one". What kind of customer service/attitude is that??? It's not my fault someone misheard me. I don't know if I'll be back here or not. Everybody has bad days, but jeeze. read more

A Hidden Gem. Today, we went to the Lunch Lounge for a quick bite to eat, and it was absolutely delicious. I've had many sandwiches from all over the valley and the folks at Lunch Lounge are doing up sandwichs right. We really enjoyed our first visit to Lunch Lounge. The menu has plenty of options, fillled with high quality meats, for the meat-eaters and a large selection of vegetarian & vegan options, if meat isn't your thing When it comes to sandwiches, you really can't go wrong with ordering the Lunch Lounge's "Grilled Stromboli Sub". There's something about that combination of, Ham, Genoa Salami, Pepperoni, Melted White American Cheese, Cherry Peppers and Basil Pesto on a Sub Roll, all mixed together that makes a heavenly combination. That's exactly what you'll get at this shop. If you're looking for a great sandwich, and her reasonable price, with the best customer service, stop by the lunch Lounge you won't be disappointed. . read more

The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

On the plus side, they have enough aerobic equipment to satisfy all. Their weight rack is missing quite a few weights. I do remember a manager at another Courtyard property telling me that guests steal the dumbbells. Nice/not! Overall, a good experience at this property.

I personally love their breakfast foods more than their lunch options. They have alot of flavors with their foods! Delicious and consistent. I'm not sure how fresh they are. Sometimes they are fresh but then other times they do not taste so fresh. They have plenty of parking and accessible parking with ramps. The environment can be loud depending on which day you go.

Lom Wong

**July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

The biggest disappointment was the Arai Kodai menu option, where the kitchen selects the dishes for you. Unfortunately, the selections felt pretty average. We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.

We ordered at the counter and got a number before getting our own table (wasn't difficult since there was plenty of seating).

We split a sandwich between the both of us and it was just the perfect amount. Piled high with crispy onions and filled with flavorful beef, the sandwich was a beast. The pizza slice was my favorite since it wasn't super heavy but had a strong mushroom/truffle flavor I loved. I do wish there were more onions in the slice but it was delicious nonetheless. Overall, I would definitely come back for the sandwiches since they have many options! Ratings Rochelle Rochelle: 4/5 Seasonal grandma slice: 4.5/5

If you're looking for delicious food and exceptional customer service, look no further than The Lunch Lounge! I've had the pleasure of enjoying their tuna melt before, and it's always been a favorite of mine. Recently, I tried their Cobb salad, and I have to say, it was absolutely incredible - so incredible, in fact, that I'll definitely be ordering it again! The Lunch Lounge is truly a hidden gem - I feel lucky that it's close to my work. I only wish it were open later, but I certainly understand. My team and I always make a stop there for breakfast and coffee, and we're never disappointed. I highly recommend The Lunch Lounge over Panera Bread across the street - the food is far better, and the customer service is second to none. If you're on the hunt for something delicious for breakfast or lunch, you can't go wrong with The Lunch Lounge! And the prices won't break your wallet!! read more

The inside is fairly small, not a lot of seating, much more of a grab and go situation. The menu is pretty basic with their main attraction being the homemade focaccia style bread. We got the Hall Pass (added tomato) and the Group project. It took probably 15 minutes to get our sandwiches, which considering nothing on it is cooked felt like a long time to wait. If you want to add chips and a drink from the fridge plan on paying an extra $5-$8. The sandwiches are good but I was hoping for something more. The ratio of bread to filling was way off in my opinion. I wished there was more of the arugula and ricotta to balance out how dry the sandwich was, I imagine it would've been even drier if I hadn't added tomato. Group Project was good but could also use more sauce. I would go again maybe if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it. There's a lot better sandwich spots in Phoenix.
