    Amaretto sour
    Denise M.

    First I should say that I'm not gluten free, which seems to be Tryst Cafe's niche. But I will say the menu has a ton of gluten free options, so if you're gluten free, this is the place to go There is a dog friendly patio and an indoor/outdoor bar. Our server was kind of quiet, but he got the job done. It has a kind of botanical them. They have a full bar, and I ordered an Amaretto Sour. It was just okay--heavy on the sweet and sour and light on the amaretto. By the end of the meal, my cocktail had separated and it looked like some weird stuff floating in the middle. For my meal I ordered the ahi tuna melt. The bread was a grilled Parmesan gluten free brioche, it was delicious. You'd never even know it was gluten free. The sandwich, though was very bland--almost no flavor. On the other hand, the side salad was so good. The dressing was delicious! All in all, I thought Tryst was okay. Perhaps if you must eat gluten free, this place would be a winner.

    The appetizers and drinks were so yummy and perfect for sharing with friends while we sat and chitchatted on the patio. The patio itself has such a cute vibe and made for a really fun, relaxing evening together.

    Asian Jackfruit Bowl
    Allison R.

    After a tough workout at Burn Boot Camp, my friends and I needed some grub, and conveniently, Tryst Cafe was right across the road. In the spirit of the morning's workout, I decided to stick to healthy, and ordered the Asian Jackfruit Bowl... but also drank a cold draft beer... the most refreshing drink on another day of record-breaking heat in the Valley! Some of my friends seemed slightly disappointed with their food orders, but my bowl hit the spot. The quinoa was fluffy, and the Jackfruit was cooked to perfection in an Asian-chipotle sauce. The price was a little high at 18 bucks, but Tryst is a nice place for food, drinks, and conversation with friends.

    Walked over to try this place for beer and an app. Definitely wasn't disappointed by the laid back atmosphere, attentiveness of the staff, and food and beer selections. Both my husband and I got local beers we hadn't had in a while and we also got the Parmesan garlic fries to share. The beers were crisp and again, brought over so quick. The fries were the perfect crispy texture and had a perfect amount of shredded parm and some parsley, but unfortunately the garlic was a little light (I would definitely ask for more in the future). Will definitely go back for a full meal in the future.

    Love this spot! It's such a cute little place tucked behind our neighborhood. The food and drinks are always great, and the servers are consistently so kind and welcoming. Tried their new November special, braised beef tostadas, and they were SO YUMMY!

    We tried Tryst for the first time last weekend. They take reservations which is great for Sunday Brunch! This is a small but comfortable restaurant with ample outdoor seating. The many many gluten free options were great. We can not wait to return to try additional GF options.

    Meat Lovers Omelet Breakfast
    Tim S.

    We were driving by after a photo shoot in the area and decided to stop and have brunch on their shared patio. No wait for seating, server was really good about checking in. The Wife enjoyed her traditional Tryst Breakfast and I was excited to see a version of a traditional Hawaiian breakfast on the menu. Everything came out pretty quick and was tasty. My only feedback would have been that there is no salt or pepper on the tables, would have been nice if that was there so we could season our food to taste. Overall, glad we stopped by and we will keep this location in mind for the next time we are in the area.

    Tortilla soup  Grilled Chicken & Goat Cheese Salad
    Tyra G.

    We were on our way to flagstaff and were looking for a lunch. Tryst has a really cool vibe. Started with the buffalo cauliflower. It was too sour and the ranch didn't improve the flavor. The soup and the salad were amazing!! Highly recommend! That broth in the soup was so flavorful. The service was excellent.

    Brunch

    Met up here with some friends. I had never been before and the Ambiance was lovely, clean, and sunny. The menu had a very nice variety, lots of GF options for my friend. I had the corned beef hash breakfast. Then leeks actually made it an odd taste for me so it was meh. I know it was freshly made and their recipe, just not my fav. The sweet tots were yummy. The service was interesting....the server was good, but he was not around very often, which was surprising as it was not super busy. He was kind and sweet regardless. The food runner girl was... special....four incidents that made us laugh and confused....first she brought us food and clearly we were still reading the menu; second, she brought me hotsauces I didn't ask for but there were hot sauces in the dish on our table already; 3rd, I asked for ketchup, she brought it and I raise my hand that it's for me but she put it in front of my friend further away; lastly, she brought out another dish and clearly we had already paid and finished... The interesting service won't detour me from going back but it was memorable to say the least.

    Bison burger
    Mark C.

    Tryst is a nice little spot with a lot of options from egg dishes, French toast, pancakes, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, seafood, coffees, teas, and smoothies. I tried out their bison burger and basic mango smoothie. This cost me $36.92 (includes tax and tip). The bison burger was pretty good; I wish it had a tomato in it though to complete it. The mango smoothie was very small for its cost so I would say to avoid that and stick to the entrees instead. Service was nice enough.

    Fried Fish Tacos
    Lisa L.

    I came here for lunch with my sister. We ordered the beer battered green beans, which was very good. Then we ordered the fish taco to share. They give you 3 soft tacos in corn tortilla. I would've preferred flour tortillas, not sure if that was an option. The fish was great, and one taco filled me up already. But overall I felt it was just ok. I liked the ambiance of the place. Would love to come back for brunch next time. Our server was very nice.

    Riblets, Parmesan fries, all natural hamburger, Bison burger with white cheddar, fried fish tacos.

    Tryst Cafe--Chandler https://trystcafe.com/chandler/ Last night, 3-31-25, we decided to try Tryst Cafe for dinner. I found their menu on their website, and it looked really good. WOW--was this a good call. First off, the ambiance and service at this place are wonderful. The restaurant was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Devin was our waitress, and she never skipped a beat. She knew the menu very well, and all her suggestions were spot on. Devin was so friendly and attentive to our needs--We would come back to Tryst Cafe for the service alone--but you probably want to know a little about the food by now. This restaurant serves all natural meats with no antibiotics ever--not just the chicken, but beef and pork as well. Their attention to a healthy--good for you--menu is commendable. We started with the riblets and Parmesan fries. The fries were double fried--as all fries should be--so they had that crisp outside and soft inside. The riblets were amazing, and the sauce would make a flipflop taste good. My wife the all natural hamburger, and she said it was wonderful. I had the bison burger with white cheddar--it was outstanding. Our granddaughter had the fried fish tacos--she loved them--I nipped a piece of the fish and can confirm they were amazing. We all three had the sweet potato tots--extra crispy, as suggested by Devin--and all I can say WOW! We will definitely be frequenting Tryst Cafe in Chandler--I really want to to work my way through the menu. Honestly there are so many good things they offer that it's hard to choose. I highly recommend this restaurant, and they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    I was looking for a place that focuses on healthier food in Gilbert and have been here a few times and have tried different things every time but my favorite thing I have tried so far on the menu is the Thai shrimp lettuce wraps, they're the best and Tryst also has a lot of cute drinks to choose from. Had the nicest bartender :)

I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!! We ordered beef chow fun ($12.99) and garlic chicken ($9.99) to go. A very nice young man took our order and I could hear our food being cooked. It was ready in about 5 minutes and I was surprised how heavy our order felt. Beef chow fun was very flavorful with just a hint of sweetness. Beef was tender and I loved the prominent smoky charred taste from the wok. The order of garlic chicken comes with white or fried rice. I chose fried rice and was surprised to find chicken skin, egg and green onions in it unlike most Chinese restaurants just pouring soy sauce on the rice and charging you extra. They also separated the sauce from the chicken so the chicken stayed crispy. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions are huge!! We were stuffed and still have so much left over. Definitely going back to try other dishes as I am so impressed. So glad I finally got to try this place.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality!
