Reservations were easy and we were seated quickly. We had the choice of patio or inside and being it was a nice evening, my wife and I chose outside. We ordered a glass of wine to start off and then ordered the main course. I had the Friday special which was fish and chips with homemade coke slaw. Cathy had the lamb dish which was exquisite. For desert, we shared a slice of baclava cheesecake which was amazing. The prices were reasonable and the service from Patrick was top notch. This is a scratch kitchen so everything they serve you is made fresh by their kitchen staff. I highly recommend reservations as the facility is small and gets busy quick. We will definitely be back! read more

Wow wow wow! The Toast is a fantastic place to treat yourself and your friends/family to some incredible dishes! In an area (Surprise) with a lot of chain restaurants, it's nice to have a gem like The Toast! It's a beautiful somewhat cozy space... that provides patrons enough space to enjoy their conversations (and meals)! Having celiac, it can oftentimes be a challenge for me to trust that I am ordering something gluten-free. At The Toast, we had a fantastic server who also had celiac, so I knew I could follow her recommendations on what was safe for me to eat! That made me so happy! I went with the Prime Rib Tacos... and I have been dreaming about them since! You get three good-sized tacos, so I was able to bring plenty home for another meal. The Prime Rib Tacos are AMAZING!! Always looking forward to my next trip to The Toast! Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** Gluten-free rating: *****FIVE STARS***** read more

Surprisingly fantastic experience here! Stopped in after a long day of doing taxes, and boy did we all happily get more than we bargained for! Restaurant was nice and clean, with a nice dimlit ambiance. Servers were great! We were all ecstatic with our food! My Cubano had all the right flavors and toasted to perfection! Fries were thin and crispy! Couldn't ask for a better meal! They have a few gluten free options as well! My husband says the GF prime rib tacos are to die for! read more

The Toast - Cubano with fries - Salad Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Had a girls night here. We sat on the patio bc that is how we could order from the HH menu. I got the eggplant and goat cheese pasta- there were 2 small eggplant pieces and they were tough to cut into (maybe overcooked or the breading?). Taste was fine, nothing spectacular. Also orders the chicken kebab to bring home- the kebab was more of a pita sandwich, which my husband enjoyed. The staff was friendly and was able to give us separate checks without problem. read more

Sean greeted up when we walked in and we were invited to sit wherever we like. Rachael came to take drink orders and then our food order. Both were very personable. My guest ordered The Gangsta salad and I enjoyed the lunch special, Southwestern Chicken Wrap with delicious crunchy rosemary fries. Yum! It wasn't crowded but there was a nice constant flow. The background music was at just the right level to not be distracting. The restroom is always presentable. The patio is a great option for outdoor dining when the weather is right. read more

This place is our staple when we come to visit the Surprise area. They have a wonderful menu and always has a great special happening on each day. Thai pay trip I ordered the Mediterranean lemonade which had a sweet and sour taste to it. It was so refreshing and delicious. For food I ordered the Caesar salad, eggplant pasta and we all split the bread pudding. How can you go wrong at a place that has these types of items on the menu? It's a must try if you're in the area and the service is always pleasant. read more

Baklava cheesecake I'm going to stop here so you can read that again Never have I ever seen Baklava cheesecake available on a menu. This is currently a seasonal item but I really hope they make it a standard item I recently moved to surprise so now I'm learning and eating my way through my new neighborhood Small, local and family owned this place made my heart smile The servers and bartenders know their customers by name and they also know their usual orders The back and forth banter as we sat next to a couple and the husband was trying a new sandwich made me giggle I got the chop salad and I was pretty excited about it as I only know one other restaurant that serves it The salmon chop salad was wonderful and a great order if you're looking for something light and delicious We also got the Mediterranean chicken wrap. Great flavor and the pita bread was wonderful We also ordered fries although they were so yummy we devoured them before I got a picture (rookie mistake) but since I plan on going back I'll send an update We didn't get any cocktails but they looked really good You all know I'm a sucker for an espresso martini and I was informed this place makes a mean one Let me close by again reminding you that they have baklava cheesecake You could go and just order this while doing a happy dance read more

So disappointed. Made reservations way ahead for an early Christmas Eve dinner. They weren't even busy yet but hostess and servers seemed like they didn't know what they were doing. -We each ordered a glass of wine and decided on their $34 Prime Rib. Went downhill from there. -Appetizers were very good (Goat Cheese Balls). -Took forever to get our wine. Appetizers were served before wine. -Caesar Salads were generic with croutons that were hard as a rock. -Baked Potatoes clearly needed more time in the oven. Topping was a skimpy tablespoon of sour cream with chives (no butter). Prime Rib was awful. Tough and chewy. We both had a hard time cutting it with a steak knife. -Dessert Baklava $9 tasted old. $150 later ... read more

This restaurant is right next door to the salon I go to. My husband reached out to me asking, "Can you bring food home so we don't have to cook tonight?" I've been to Toast 2-3 times for brunch but never tried dinner, so it was conveniently screaming at me online to order takeout, which I did. I got my husband the Steak and fries entree which he enjoyed tremendously. I really liked my lamb bolognese which was really filling, but my husband also finished mine since I was slow eating and he "wanted just a bite but ended up finishing it." It's very flavorful and I would definitely order that again, or the lamb burger next time since I was stumped on which I wanted more. The fried goat cheese balls covered in honey and pistachios are the best thing we ordered tonight and it was an appetizer, but I could picture ordering 3 of these apps and eating them as an entree. Haha! My fat, sugar loving brain also decided to order the lemoncello tiramisu for dessert, so yeah, there's that. Good dessert but still prefer the goat cheese balls which offer savory and sweetness in their little perfectly rounded package! It wasn't crowded tonight when I picked up the food but it is a Wednesday night. Is this a secret little Surprise gem that still not enough people bothered to try because it's not some trendy chain?? It's their loss. Their food is good and they have outdoor seating too. I'm glad to know I have a go to spot not just for brunch but also dinner. read more

The Toast - The Cubano - Salad Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I am in love with this place! A friend brought us here recently, and I had the Moroccan Lamb Bolognese: it tasted just like my Italian mother used to make! Absolutely delicious, just perfect! The ragu sauce had just the perfect tomato flavor, crisp, not mushy or muted. What a treat! We swapped tastes, of course, and everything was really excellent. For dessert we split the bread pudding, which was to die for. Portions are generous, too! Bella, our server, was excellent as well, and took great care of us. This is the kind of place that I'd like to live within walking distance of, and I'd be there every night! Unpretentious, sort of hidden in a strip mall, but the quality, pride, and attention to detail are obvious. Try it, you'll love it! read more

It's always good when you remember how good everything was. This place sticks out from the rest. They deserve a bigger place to tell you the truth. I've been here twice and both times were great. read more

The Toast was amazing in all areas. A friend and I had a late lunch, so we missed the lunch rush. We ordered goat cheese balls and coconut shrimp for appetizers. The coconut shrimp wasn't overloaded with coconut, which I liked, because you could taste how tender and fresh the shrimp was. The goat cheese balls were light, cheesy, and tasty. I had The Armenian, chicken, hummus, and a sauce I couldn't remember, tucked into delicious fresh pita bread. I also had an espresso martini. Sean, the bartender who also was our server, made the martini creamy and rich. So good! We ordered three (!) desserts. Coconut Creme Pie, Limoncello Tiramasu, and Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding confection. All three were great, but my favorite was the bread pudding. Sean, our server, was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He explained the different flavors and ingredients of the different dishes. Our food was delivered quickly to our table. The ambiance was a cozy bistro, perfect for date night, relaxing after work, or a dinner out with friends and family. I will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I dined here for lunch. We shared two dishes. The Beef French Dip was a 5: very tender beef with melted Swiss cheese on a fresh roll. The flatbread with goat cheese, arugula and prosciutto was a 3. Our side of rosemary fries had good flavor but were a bit soggy. Kristen our server was cheerful and helpful. She split our order in two and gave us extra plates and napkins. This restaurant is a bit expensive for lunch. It would be abetter restaurant for dinner. read more

I ordered tonight, 4/13/ 26 , a Lamburger and salad. The lamb burger was grilled to medium and absolutely fabulous! Regretfully, my husband ordered a Gyro. The pita bread was thin and literally burned to a crisp. The contents were tasty, however. We brought this to the attention of our waiter. He just said, " I let the Chef know." There was no compensation or reduction to my husband's meal. Totally unacceptable. My husband said he will not be going back. Needless to say, we did not leave much of a tip." SO sad, because this establishment is close to where we live! read more

One of my favorite places. My husband and come here regularly for dinner. Amazing staff and food.

The ambiance was nice. Cute little spot. But- the food and service wasn't the greatest. Out of the 5 appetizers ordered, we only liked one (fried goat cheeseballs)... the other four were incredibly bland. And I'm not sure why service wasn't more attentive- it wasn't crowded... overall I wouldn't rush back. Maybe the entrees is better than the small bites? read more

Update. I promised an update after our first visit, and here it is. Originally, it was 4 stars, and now it's five. The food is consistently very good. The bartending is excellent. We had a vodka martini and a cosmo. Both were executed well and were fair pours. The tahini cauliflower is tops in my book. We enjoyed the green chili pork and remarked again about how big the portion is. The patio was shady and comfortable in the evening. Our server, Carolyn was great! The bar is small, and we have yet to be able to get a seat. We'll keep trying... read more

What a spectacular spot! The food, absolutely delish!!! Hear me out...!! Tiramisu, but limoncello!!! Okay, honestly, friggin genius!! Bar is awesome, restaurant is great.

Most of the bad reviews are about long wait times, but good food is worth waiting for! I very much enjoyed my Italian sandwich (Vegetarian option), and my girlfriend devoured her coconut shrimp. The drinks were even better though. I highly recommend the Mezcal Paloma. Best Paloma I've ever had! read more

We come to the Phoenix area every March for spring training and to see family. We scout restaurants and plan reservations in advance. We found The Toast, looked at the menu and the food and desserts looked great. When we walked in I have to say we were taken aback. The atmosphere didn't seem to match our expectations after seeing the website. We started with the brussel sprouts and they were so good. They had a balsamic glaze and bleu cheese. My husband had the special which was short ribs with pappardelle pasta and topped with creamy ricotta. It was so delicious. Not something I would have ordered, but was sorry I didn't. I had The Cubano sandwich/panini and rosemary fries. So good and I highly recommend. The evening ended perfectly with limoncello tiramisu and coconut cream pie. It's hard to find a good coconut cream pie, but look no further. It's at The Toast. Very reasonably priced too. We were surprised, pleasantly, when we got the bill. Run, don't walk, to The Toast! read more

Excellent food, wine selection and service! Will definitely return. A fun place to meet up with friends and family.

Cozy Little Spot My sister and I went out for brunch at The Toast Craft Kitchen and Cocktails and we had a great dining experience. The Food, Service and Atmosphere were all great. Toast Craft Kitchen is a trendy cafe, has indoor and outdoor seating, with a delicious brunch menu, that is different from the ordinary. We shared the eggs Benedict, Cubano, and cinnamon roll. Our entrees were so good. The ingredients are super fresh, food is flavorful, and beautifully presented. As much as I enjoyed our entrees, I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, it was perfectly delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other menu options, think I will try breakfast next time. If you're in the area stop in. The Toast Craft Kitchen and Cocktails, doesn't dissapoint. read more

Excellent dining experience. Superior staff, bar (drinks are exceptional) the food is super. 10 stars.

hostess not friendly. we arrived at 4:00pm. we were asked if we had a reservation, we did not! the restaurant had one family seated. They sat us and asked if we could be done by 6:00pm. two other families came in after and they were not asked to be done by 6:00!!! I ordered the gangsta salad. nothing special. just a bowl full of spinach with cold, fatty, skinny, and tough flavorless strips of steak! not worth the price! glad we tried this place. Will never go back! the photos on the website are deceiving! The food arrived looking like Dennys sandwiches! half the lighting fixtures have blown out lightbulbs! seriously? it's an over priced dive! read more

Pretty happy with this place. My only frustration is confusion on when they do brunch. Some sources say sat and sun. But it's Sunday only. Anyway. If you don't work Sundays then you get to have things like these amazing snickerdoodle waffles. I had the chilaquiles which have a great flavor but I wish the pork were shredded. The cubed is sort of a weird mouth full. I prefer chilaquiles with soft tortillas rather than chips. And these chips are hard and crunchy! Another thing I wish for is more sauce. As I said, the chilaquiles are really good and these mentions are just my preference. It's a really big dish so I probably wouldn't get it again unless I have someone to share it with. Those waffles? What can I say. I tried to get a second bite but almost got a fork in the back of my hand. So.... The cinnamon rolls are out of this world! I've also had their version of a Cuban sandwich. Not really a cubano. More "Cuban like". But it's good. Good side salad. Greet service. Almost conveniently located. Since I work Sundays I probably won't be able to get brunch again but their regular menu is pretty good too. read more

This was a nice little find. They do their best to create a good atmosphere in a shopping center location. The service is very good, friendly, and attentive. We ordered fried calamari 4.5/5, Cubano sandwich 4/5, Greek salad 4/5, side if rosemary fries 4.5/5, and baklava cheesecake 4.5/5. Reasonably priced wines. Full bar. read more

Have been eating at Toast since it opened. Food is very good. That is the only reason we come back. That is about to change. Service leaves a lot to be desired. Last night we were the only people in the dining room and I had to get up and ask for our attendant to come back to the table. She spent most of the night talking to some man walking in and out of the kitchen and other attendants. Our drinks were dry. I was drinking alcohol. I would think drinks are where your money is, not to mention the extra money the attendant can add to the tab for their tip. This is not the first time for poor service. We lost out on extra drinks and the attendant lost out on a good tip. The restaurant lost both ways because you had long time patrons walk out unhappy and not coming back for a while. read more

During our recent visit to Phoenix metro, our dinner at Toast Craft Kitchen & Cocktails was a culinary highlight during our trip. Like everywhere else (it seems) in this area, it takes a drive to get here, and in this case it's well worth it. Here's the real food that Gayle, Ron, Meg, and Eric dined on and enjoyed immensely. APPETIZERS - Fried Goat Cheese Balls - Jumbo Lumb Crab Cakes MAIN COURSES - Pound O'Mussels (Red Sauce). Comes with a nice baguette. This item sits on the Appetizer menu, but those huge mussels and bread make are generous in portion. - Pound O'Mussels (White Sauce) I should have ordered a side of fries to make this dish more complete. - Green Chile Pork - Prime Rib Additional Observations: 1. We sat on the patio on a most pleasant evening. 2. Toast sits in the middle of a strip mall, which makes it interesting to find. 3. There was a lot of white and gray hair in this full restaurant, a reflection I'm sure of the large 50+ crowd in the greater Phoenix area. 4. Service was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen. At the same time, our waiter was friendly and attentive to our inquires. Ron also complemented the chef on the way out. 5. We all thought that the overall tab (including drinks) were reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. I also appreciated that the check was clear in calculating the tip pretax and what the various totals might be. read more
