Another great experience at the McIntosh. The food was great. I have the shrimp Poboy and my wife had the vegetable chop salad with crispy chicken. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, and our server took great care of us. We don't get there as often as we would like, but we always enjoy the McIntosh. It's always clean, and the food is well prepared, as well as being cooked order. By that I mean, if you order something medium rare, it comes out, medium rare. read more

We came to Happy Hour at the Macintosh expecting the usual -- the kind of place that's technically fine but forgettable. Turns out I'd undersold it. It's better than the template suggests. We ordered four things: mac and cheese, sliders, shrimp risotto, and a beet salad. The risotto quietly stole the show -- creamy, well-seasoned, tasty blackened shrimp. The indoor/outdoor seating was pleasant enough that I regretted not bringing my dog. Service was excellent, the vibes solidly decent. I'd go back. read more

I visited The Macintosh on a weeknight. There were several diners, but the restaurant wasn't super busy. There was also a big soccer game that evening, so I think most people were out at watch parties. I ordered the Cardiff M. Co ahi tuna (salad), $30 and shoestring potatoes (fries), $9. The salad came with seared rare and blackened ahi tuna, avocado, cherry tomatoes, field greens, edamame, crunchy wasabi peas, sesame seeds, agave ponzu, and miso vinaigrette. The salad was wonderful, however, a big pricey. For $30, I would have liked more ahi tuna pieces. Mine only came with five small pieces. I love shoestring fries, and I really enjoyed theirs. They were nice and crispy. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout. The restaurant offers plenty of seating inside and out, and is great for groups. read more

I was starving after a day of traveling into Phoenix and needed to stuff my face out some comfort food. After feeling brand new from a blow out at primp & blow in the same plaza & some shopping at Nordstrom Rack - this place was THE perfect last stop to relax & get my GRUB on. I started with amazing service that was consistent the entire time. The next layer of excellence was the food. Not one thing was disappointing. The biscuits & honey butter may have had drugs in them - so good they felt illegal. The chicken sandwich filled my heart with joy, and the key lime pie to cure a pms sweet tooth - a girl ate GOOD thanks to this spot. So happy I stopped in and will be every time I visit home, as I felt right at home with the comforting cute ambiance, kind humans and incredible food. read more

Always a solid choice in Phoenix to come here. This is a place for grown ups so make sure you're acting like an adult here. Met a buddy here for dinner last week and around 7:30pm on Thu night, it wasn't too busy at all. I like sitting at the bar (doesnt matter where I am) but I think my friend preferred a table so I opted for a nice hightop in the bar area. My friend had an iced tea and the roast chicken with the substituted baked potato. His dish was amazing, he gave me a bit of his chicken and man it was good, and the buttermilk pesto was divine! I had a wheat beer of some kind and the ahi tuna poke appetizer. Tuna was fresh and very good. Light dish and didnt feel heavy afterwards. I like this place a lot. Its classy, for the mature crowd, very good food and excellent service. I'll be back again no doubt. read more

The Macintosh - Ahi tuna poke appetizer - yes I am boring - New American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've been to The Macintosh many times in the last few years, so I've had a chance to go thru the menu. It's a pretty solid spot - nothing stands out to me particularly. Just a good local restaurant. They usually participate in AZ Restaurant Week so twice a year you can get a decent 3 course meal. Reservations aren't required but they do take them. Staff is generally nice. I love their interior though - it's a a modern x southwestern vibe with lots of wood. From what I've eaten, the stand outs are their onion rings, burgers, salads (add a protein!) and steak for AZ Restaurant Week. Their drink menu isn't horribly complex, just a fairly short list of local beers, and some decent cocktails. read more

I always find myself returning to Macintosh for either brunch or dinner, and there's a good reason why! The ribs are absolutely to die for -- tender, flavorful, and definitely something I recommend trying. The sandwich portions are also worth mentioning. You get a generous amount of meat, making them a satisfying choice when you're looking for something hearty. One thing to keep in mind is the drinks. For the price, they tend to be a little light, so you may want to consider ordering a double. Otherwise, I'd simply go with a glass of champagne or a beer and enjoy the meal. Overall, Macintosh remains a place I'm happy to return to. read more

Holy deliciousness! I love, love, love the shrimp and grits with tasdo ham relish here! Soooo good! Hubby ordered the grilled salmon with a Caesar salad, and that was also fantastic-- perfectly cooked (medium). We had already started with a Cider Corps cider and an amaretto sour. This is my favorite of all the Common Ground Culinary restaurant group (The Collins, The Neighborly, etc). The decor is casual with a touch of rustic--right up my aesthetic alley. The bartender was our server, and she was a delight. We sat at a highschool near the bar with a perfect view of the World Cup game between Switzerland and Argentina. It made for a great evening. Thankfully I have some shrimp and grits left over for lunch tomorrow, and that's a good thing! read more

I grabbed a quick lunch here at The Macintosh after shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's. This place is located in the Town and Country Shopping Center. Even though my time here was brief, I had a nice visit here. Service was great and food was delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the dining room. I didn't have time for drinks, but I hear they have a nice selection of drinks in their bar and a great happy hour. 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 love 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. read more

So loved The Macintosh! The chef here serves up incredible food and so flavorful at that. We started with the brussel sprouts and the serving size alone was enough to fill us up. Everything about them was to die for. I got a chicken sandwich and the breading was light, crispy and delicious. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. The staff are great and engage with good conversation. Fantastic vibes and great seating! read more

Excellent experience here a few weeks ago! Ambiance is casual but still intimate. Service was very good. I reviewed the menu before coming in and stuck with what I originally wanted: the Brussels sprouts to start and the chicken Waldorf salad as my entree. Wow! The Brussels sprouts were so good -- balsamic glaze, bacon and garlic all came together for an addicting appetizer. I probably could have eaten another portion by myself. For my entree, the salad was absolutely delicious and everything I love in a salad: fresh arugula tossed in a perfect amount of dressing and cheese with dried cranberry, red onion, radish and their rotisserie chicken. It was so exceptional that I came back soon after for a pick up order of the same salad while I was passing by. Everything here is fresh and very well done! Happy hour is a great opportunity as well. This place also offers daily specials -- definitely check it out when you are able to! read more

I've been here twice now, once for a girls night dinner and another for a large group event and both times the service was very slow. It took like 20 min before they ordered drinks and 30 min plus before drinks were delivered! Crazy right? The first visit I got the burger and fries and it was delicious. The second time I got a steak medium well and loaded baked potato and the potato was very dry (like an older potato that was on its way out) and although I loved the overall flavor of the steak I had to eat around the edges only and avoided the center because not only wasn't it medium w no pink it was red! Also it had gristle and fat. For $44 it was a waste of good meat and I'm not one to ask a cook to throw it back in the grill when they should know how to produce different levels of cooked steak. The ambiance is a chill dim lit vibe and easy for conversations so that was great! The bathrooms are clean and smell good. Great mirror lighting too. But the front layout is odd, the hostess stand is right there so everyone crams in front of door and there's no barrier to the first large table so you're like staring at the poor people eating at that first long table lol! I think they need to switch up the entry layout and put up a half wall or decorative situation to tuck away that table a bit too. Just my two cents. Overall, I'd go again but it would be really nice if management saw this and trained staff on how to greet table sooner, take drink orders, and deliver said drinks timely for a more pleasant dining experience. read more

The sevice and good was really good! O wil be returning. My favorite was the salmon and the brussel sprouts

Stopped on our way to see a show at the Madison center. Let the waitress know that we are on a schedule. Atmosphere was nice and the place seemed well organized. We were there early so it wasn't crowded, but by the time we left it was. Food was excellent and the drinks were okay. My wife had the negroni and was very happy, I had an old fashioned and it was just average. My biggest issue is that the waitress was MIA more than she should have been knowing that we were on a schedule. She ended up recommending the key lime pie which was good, but by the time we got it we had to gulp and run. Sadly this took away from the whole experience and this might have been a five-star had that not happen. read more

The Macintosh never disappoints! We had a farewell lunch for a colleague today and everything was as expected....wonderful! It was 9 of us and we were immediately seated upon arrival, as we had a reservation. Our server was great and the managers who were helping out too. My sandwich was delicious and I'm glad they made my request for a grilled/rotisserie chicken breast happen. They brought out a special dessert for the honoree too. It's a great spot, in a perfect location and nice vibe. read more

The good: Shoestring Fries are hot & crisp with a housemade buttermilk pesto that's a fun take on traditional ranch dressing. A giant dollop of delicately sweetened fresh whip cream balances tart Key Lime Pie with a proper graham cracker crust. The odd: The concept focuses on Southern specialities (choice selection of bourbons, bartender recommends Blackened Redfish), but my Ahi Tuna Poke was out of place and overwhelmed with aioli. I'm looking forward to another chance, maybe for Happy Hour (snacks at reduced prices!), brunch, or at their sister restaurant - Lom Wong. read more

The cocktails at The Macintosh were absolutely on point. Their margarita was delicious and refreshing, and the New York Sour was super unique -- hands down one of the best I've had. If you're coming here for drinks, it's a solid 5-star experience. I came in with a plan, but got tempted by the BBQ platter special -- and I love trying a variety of things. The plate included pulled pork, smoked pork sausage, and pork ribs. I swear the server mentioned brisket was part of it, but it ended up being all pork. Still good, but a little disappointing. For sides, I went with the biscuit and honey butter (amazing), bacon mac and cheese (added the bacon -- no regrets), and coleslaw. I also ordered a Caesar salad without realizing the platter already came with slaw. That said, the Caesar was actually fantastic -- pro tip: get the large and share it to make it worth the price. This review is a little tricky because I loved all the sides but was just okay on the mains. The bacon mac was creamy and rich, the biscuit with honey butter was insanely good, and the coleslaw was next-level. The meats weren't bad -- they just didn't wow me. And with all three options being pork, it felt a little repetitive. I wish I had asked if I could sub in chicken or brisket instead of sausage. Still giving this 4 stars -- mainly because I didn't clarify the order and the service and cocktails were great. Just ask a few questions and order smart -- the place has a lot of potential to be excellent. read more

This was near our hotel and decided to stop in since our 1st pick of restaurant had a long wait list and we were starving. As we entered it wasn't too busy and we were greeted right away and sat at a high top for 4. The staff was friendly. Opted for the Brussels sprouts and biscuits to share. I selected the chicken and daughter picked a soup. The star of this meal was the Brussels sprouts hands down. They were perfect. My chicken was okay and came in several pieces which left me full quicker than expected. Liked the vibe and openness. Would come back for drinks and brussel sprouts. read more

Loved this place when it was previously Grassroots, the name has changed to Macintosh, but the food is still the strong staple it use to be. Reservations were a must on Saturday night and the joint was hopping. We were seated and a server explained the specials. We ordered the Halibut fish and chips, twisted noodle salad with steak, cowboy baby back ribs, onion rings and an order of dirty rice. The staff were on point with service and piping hot plates. The halibut was moist, lightly battered and tasty. The dirty orzo was as flavorful as ever and had a great flavor profile. Our twisted noodle salad was unique, great combinations not found in a normal salad and the steak was tender. It could of used a bit more dressing. Our ribs were lightly sauced, fall off the bone tender and a light bit of smoke. The rings were good with a crunch, but not over battered. If you are hankering for a good, solid meal without the pretentious environment, give Macintosh a call. The aura here is upbeat with good food. The portions are a bit light for the price, but it is always a solid for dinner. Good job Macintosh and we will be back. read more

I'm here to say , if you are worried this is too heavy of a meat restaurant , it is not . There are tons of options for vegetarians or people who don't want meat . I almost didn't visit this restaurant due to this and I'm so glad I ended up going . The service was great , the restaurant has ample parking and is tucked into a cute shopping center by other seemingly cute restaurants . The food was a bit of a wait , but definitely fresh and worth it :) they have a happy hour that is pretty rad . Def will be back :) read more

The Macintosh was unremarkable. The BBQ brisket sandwich was overly sweet and lacking in smokiness or savory flavor. It was also rather expensive compared to the BBQ you can get at other restaurants in Arizona. I've had considerably more meat for the money elsewhere. The service was acceptable, but the atmosphere felt off. It was very bland and corporate, like much of the Camelback Colonnade area. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while in the area on a girls shopping day with friends. Upon entering it was a cute vibe. Loved all the different foods on the menu. Think American food which sprinkles or creole/New Orleans flavors. We barely hit happy hour and tried the sliders (we did one of each chicken and brisket). Both were delicious, the brisket was tender, we were pleasantly surprised at how good the brisket ones were. Our waitress Brooklyn suggested the brussel sprouts and when I say they are amazing it is no joke!! They were so flavor with a great balsamic glaze with roasted garlic and a maple bacon in them ...again absolutely delicious. We picked a smoke salmon and a risotto maybe, one of us thought it was good, I didn't like the flavor but it was a preference. We had the hummingbird drinks which were again delicious and one ordered off the cocktail menu and had a Hugo spritz which was not great(there's a reason to stay on menu)! Another had the Paloma and she said it was really good. Brooklyn, our waitress, provided great service, our order got a little mixed up but Brooklyn was quick to correct and was great. We enjoyed our time and asked for the bill. We were brought the wrong bill, which we didn't notice because again we were laughing and chatting enjoying being with friends and just put our card down to pay. Another server was checking us out and he noticed it wasn't our bill. This is when the visit turned bizarre, a manager, Ella, came over and grilled us on how did we get our chicken sliders, who brought them to our table and we felt attacked. Frankly, we had no clue who brought them, we were just happy it was quickly rectified and we were having a great visit. We don't give the mix up a second thought! But, Ella kept pushing on how we got chicken sliders and not the chicken and biscuit which was in our bill. By this point there were 3 of them at our table: Ella grilling us, Brooklyn walked up to make sure everything was ok and the other server just trying to do his job. Brooklyn obviously seeing we were being grilled about the mixup by Ella, and said they ordered the chicken sliders, we brought out the chicken and biscuit but fixed it. Ella put her hand up in Brooklyn's face and was so incredibly rude and disrespectful to Brooklyn, and told her enough and stop talking!! By this point the other waiter had already left and Brooklyn walked away. We were appalled at this managers behavior in front of us (we are all in leadership roles) and then it brought concern if this is how Ella treated staff in front of customers what is happening behind the scenes! Again, food atmosphere was all great and Brooklyn was great, along with the other waiter. We paid and finished our drinks, we decided to speak to management to ensure our experience was communicated to ensure there was no backlash to Brooklyn. The manager was so great! We were offered a desert or something else which we declined, we just wanted someone to know what the experience was. Great recovery to this manager(I can't remember her name). I will go back of in the area! read more
