Loved the jackfruit bowl. Those flavors are so satisfying. And coming to the asparagus on the top of the Brussels sprouts, I'd say it's undoubtedly the best I ever had. They are just so tender and juicy I would love to have more of the asparagus! The dessert was decent but not something I would go back for again The only problem I had here was the service was too slow it took 30 min for us to get our dessert since we ordered which is a lot. I just wish they do something to reduce the service time to avoid such long waits read more

Great food! It's not super cheap, but the food is fresh, the service was quick and friendly. They had a decent happy hour too. We enjoyed the comfortable patio seating with heaters and misters for the summer. read more

Needed a good breakfast with vegetarian and gluten free options, yelp reviewers held Tryst to a high rating, well-deserved. I was promptly greeted and seated upon entry and given the seating options - outside patio or inside. I chose inside seating. See picture for that view. Brad came over shortly afterwards with a glass of water then took my order. Veggie omelet with gluten free toast. As you can see from the picture. It was more than enough food for one. Real whipped butter and strawberry jam for the toast came along with the dish. Service was fast and Brad checked in as much as he could to ensure everthing was fine. The food was fresh, omelet packed with the veggies. It was quite satisfying! Everyone was courteous. Five stars is deserved from this experience. I hold Tryst contines to pass the test of time as i intend to return. read more

Slowest service ever, we ended up leaving after one drink because it took 1.5 hours to get the drink made, drink it and get our check. Couldn't get anyone to make a 2nd drink in that time. Dirty bar. No napkins. Asked for water and took forever. Time moves at a snail pace after the morning rush I guess. read more

I don't like leaving relatively negative reviews: please bear with me. When we walked in, the only young lady working the front was on the phone and taking a pick up order. She didn't acknowledge our existence for about ten minutes as we stood there awkwardly until she got off the phone, but then she seated us quickly in a friendly manner. I chalked it up to youth and service inexperience. It took another ten minutes for our waitress to get to us. It was BUSY (Saturday, lunch). Melizza was really friendly and personable, but forgot our utensils. Chalk it up to our being there during the lunch rush, and co-workers not helping her out when feasible. We ordered the "roasted" Buffalo cauliflower (picture attached). I would not recommend it. It got to us cold, and not roasted. Whatever blackened portion you see in the photo must have been from the brief second these bits of cauliflower were grilled. Soggy, cold, like they were just microwaved and drenched in oily Buffalo sauce. My wife ordered the grilled chicken and goat cheese salad but opted for the vegan option w/ mushrooms instead. It came with a raspberry vinaigrette drizzled on the top but it was obvious that the salad had not been tossed or prepared outside of whole leaves being dropped on my wife's plate. Bummer. With extra dressing and spending a few minutes cutting up the salad more, it was ok. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. REALLY good. My brother ordered the bison burger and fries. Also REALLY good. We also had a couple margaritas that were tasty and well done. The overall environment was nice. It appears clean, the music wasn't overbearing, and the staff was generally nice and attentive. Idk if I'd go here again but probably not for lunch. read more

Another great experience here at Tryst Cafe. Food was delicious. A lot of really good options. We have been here 5 times in the last 2 months. read more

Was a big fan of Tryst. Their menu was fun but most importantly the staff was friendly. Great atmosphere- relaxed and calm yet still plenty of TVs if you want to watch whatever relevant event happens to be on. Back to the staff though- we had a number of specialty requests and questions and our waiter handled them with no problem, even though it took some work to get answers. This is always appreciated because I don't like asking the questions anymore than the staff enjoys having to get answers (i.e. does this sauce have sugar in it?) but when they work together with us it makes the experience so much more chill for everyone involved. Also one of our dishes we mistakenly forgot to remove an ingredient and they took it back and fixed it no problem. These little things make a big difference. I don't always have special requests or need 'extra' knowledge about the menu but its good to know I can visit a delicious place like Tryst and not have to worry about feeling like the annoying patron. read more

First time here was Tuesday April 9th for dinner. We tried the nachos and fried green beans; both of which were delicious. For my meal, I tried the creamy chicken penne pasta. They knocked it out of the park with this dish. Perfect amount of flavor, not too heavy on the consistency and perfectly grilled chicken chopped. McKenna was incredible and was full of great recommendations. Such a chic and lighthearted atmosphere. When we came back today for lunch after church, McKenna recognized us with a smile on her face. Being recognized by a hostess/server is always a huge plus. Today, I had the buffalo chicken wrap, and it was easily one of the best I've had anywhere. read more

We came to Tryst for supper tonight- really great decision. It was pretty quiet, so we were seated and waited on immediately. We had a super nice waitress, very attentive and kind. I had the cauliflower tacos, which were GREAT, and my companion had the Kailua Pork sandwich and easily got the bun changed to GF. It was really good apparently. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Poor quality, high prices. I first visited this restaurant about 1 year ago. The quality has since gone done and the prices have increased. The portions are smaller as is the freshness. When you are paying 20$ for a salad, I expect fresh ingredients, not canned. When you order a salad without cheese, I expect them to correct the mistake without having an attitude about it. Paying 85$ for a lunch for 4 people is expensive, especially when we all drank water and barely ate out food! read more

We have driven by Tryst countless times, but finally decided to try it out for breakfast this week. Prices were maybe a bit higher than some competing restaurants, but portion sizes were plentiful. The food was appealing in both flavor and presentation. We likely will come back in the future. read more

The food was fantastic as usual. The server was amazing. Attention to detail and so polite! Thanks Carter!!! Lisa the owner always greats you with the biggest smile and welcome!! You feel like you just came home! Love coming here!!! read more

Really bummed out about this place. Reviews were great and looked like a fun restaurant. Service was absolutely way too slow. Hostess sat us and brought us water. My boyfriend and I sat for about 20 minutes and not a single person checked on us. We didn't even get to try the food as we decided that was way too long without any acknowledgment and left. Prices are way to high here too not be getting good service. read more

This place has a lot of options to offer! If you are looking for gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian selections, this place has it for you! I tried the Asian Jackfruit bowl. It was an interesting way to have jackfruit warm, but I really liked it! It comes with quinoa, chickpeas, peas, onions, warm jackfruit, and a delicious sauce. The menu have a large selection and they also have HH menu for food and drinks. The decor is very nice. They have a table in the back of the restaurant that is more private so that you can have your own space with your party. They have a Yelp waitlist online so that you can check how busy they are and join their waitlist. Reservations are also available through Yelp. Great customer service!! Looking forward to going back to try out other items on the menu. read more

The staff were very nice and attentive, and the atmosphere gave off good vibes. The food was overall good. The French toast was cooked to perfection and the strawberry custard was delish and complemented the French toast spectacularly. The avocado toast had quality ingredients, but it was a little too sweet for our liking which came from the agave chipotle glaze, but I'm sure it fits someone's flavor profile. Lastly, we had the Iced S'mores late, and the iced Snickers Late. This is where they lost a star, both drinks were unremarkable. I've certainly had worse and appreciate the effort, but they were boring flavor wise. Overall I would recommend for the food quality and service. read more

I was looking for a casual and fast place for breakfast. Decided to try Tryst Cafe. We were able to get a table around 10:30 am right before the lunch rush. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and were able to snag a booth. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I ordered the traditional tryst breakfast. Loved that it came with sweet potato fries. There is a bar area with seating as well. read more

I can't believe this is another instance of me never leaving a review. We found Tryst way back when, probably 3-5 years ago, due to their inexpensive, unlimited mimosas. We have been enjoying Tryst ever since. We have sat inside, outside, and at the bar and every time we felt welcomed. True fact, my profile picture is from here at Tryst. Tonight was great. Carter was a server and he was great. We've had him before so had no worries. My wife is gluten free and he verified an item wasn't, to her disappointment. But have no fear, she was ready with an alternative dish, the buffalo chicken wrap. I had the bacon bbq burger and it was perfect. Cooked how I like it and the string fries are fantastic. Shout-out to Craig as well. He is new and has a great attitude. He brought our food out and my wife asked for a to go container AND he asked if she wanted any sauce to go. Such a simple request, but it means the world as she gets to enjoy her food at home just as the restaurant designed. If you are in this area, you have to give them a try. We will definitely be back. read more

Went back with my daughter and sat outside. The service was much better and the food was great! Glad I gave it another try!

We came here for my birthday brunch (on a Saturday). We were told over the phone it was only a 15 min wait time. There was only us three girls. Once we got there, the host told us there was a 30 min wait eventhough they weren't busy, we decided to sit at the bar. Sat at the bar, got greeted by the bartender and given menus. It took him a bit to get back to us to just ask for drinks and answer questions. We decided what we all wanted in about 5 minutes. 15 minutes had past and the bartender had not come back to us to take our order yet. I ended up getting the corned beef he recommended. It seemed like forever, a good 30 min or so and our food hadn't come out yet. One was a Buffalo sandwich and the other was eggs, toast and some meat along with my corned beef dish. So I looked at our server/bartender with an annoyed face. He realizes, oh wait these ladies had ordered food. He runs over to the kitchen and DROPS off our food. Literally plopped it and walked off. He was too busy talking to his regulars/"boys." We all dug into our food but quickly realized our food was lukewarm at best, and we needed ketchup. We got his attention and he ran and got some ketchup and tossed it onto the counter and walked away. Corned beef plate was subpar at best, the Buffalo chicken sandwich was a joke, and the other plate was alright. All three of us understand why they weren't busy like all the other breakfast/brunch places around with atleast an hour wait. Service was crap, place was clean, food wasn't worth the money. read more

The waiter, Jaron, was impatient with taking my order. I finally said, "Go do something else if it's that important" and he said, "I have to answer the phone." He had no problem talking to a male employee (if he was an employee) in street clothes that was going behind the screened area and laughing. Finally, I was there for thirty-five minutes and never once did the waiter refill my water. I had no other beverage but water. I got more of a response from a middle-aged lady who picked up my plate. read more

This is a very nice place for breakfast/brunch. I didn't try the lunch selections but the breakfast was great. They also have a full bar with several nice draft beer selections. The atmosphere is open and clean. The patio is worthy depending on the weather of course. read more

It's hard not to like such a beautiful restaurant, with amazing sounding dishes and an enjoyable ambiance. We would say we are reluctant regulars. Reluctant in that it is never our first-choice place to go to. Regulars in that if there are no other options, we usually end up here as even on a Friday night, or for weekend brunch, you can find plenty of seating. And as we sit, we always comment as to how it is possible for this gorgeous place to not be extremely busy and sold out. Then we go down the list... Annoying DJ during brunch: Rather than a soulful coffeehouse or spa-like vibe, you are lambasted with pulsating nightclub beats better fit for the night before. Brunch, while tremendously appetizing on paper, is lackluster and without vibrant flavors. And please, pretty please stop with the sweet potato tots. Great gimmick to share - once. But not as the breakfast potato or as a side with meals. The dishes always look amazing! Flavor? Depends on the dish. My wife loves the Asian Jackfruit Bowl. Loves it spicy, I love taking bites of it when it's not. Hence the consistency that wavers at every visit. My always go-to was the lemon chicken with capers, though after Covid it was taken off the menu. Since then, I've tried about every dish, and nothing has been impressive. Just this past Friday, I ordered the Dinner Fish & Chips. As I detest raw onions, I always make it a point to request no onions, chives, or scallions (in case it is used as garnish). Yes, you are thinking, who would put onions on a fish & chips? But my fish and chips came covered in scallions. Kid you not. I could not eat it. Surprisingly, the owner/manager doesn't come by and apologize for the error or offer to make your stay better. Yet, the place on a Friday night was at best 30% filled. Pet peeves, that just shouldn't exist in such a nice place: Servers bring you a wet glass yet don't provide a coaster or cocktail napkin. Which is surprising because if you ask for one, they usually grab one nearby - so they are there for a reason! Another: No paper towels in the bathroom. So, you wash your hands and now you must use your clean hands to open the door. Ugh! Finally, horrendous "craft" beer selections. Initially they had a tolerable Uncle Bears' Honey Wheat, but that was replaced with the Papago Orange Blossom, which was great, when you couldn't find it anywhere, but not when every store and restaurant has it. For the ambiance and menu, provide some craft samplings that are unique or rare. Wine is a little better, but the wine enthusiast in our group usually opt to go to a different wine bar for after-dinner drinks (aka lost sales). Which may explain why on a Friday night, we are always able to get a table, when we can't get in anywhere else. Love it on atmosphere alone, but meals and drinks are frustrating. Please do better. read more

Tryst Cafe - Buffalo chicken sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

First time here. I was wondering why the sign looked so familiar--they have another location in Scottsdale. Walked in and was greeted and told he would be with me soon. He took the tab of two people leaving to process. Then he told me to follow him so when he went to the front door, I actually started to follow him and thought maybe there was a hidden area I missed when I walked in. Nope, he was just grabbing menu and utensils lol. Seated me at a booth next to the window. There are outlets on the wall above the table so you can charge your electronics without crawling underneath the table. I really liked that option! They have happy hour 3-6pm. I chose the candy margarita (so pretty and sweet), fried green beans (OMG, get this as it is delicious!), riblets (okay, I dunno why, but in my mind I was picturing like the McRibs or miniature ribs, but that is not what that is. It was dry, with a great sauce. I would not recommend it), and then nachos without cheese and sour cream (obviously without the cheese not as awesome, but doable). It seemed the guy was the only worker so he was host, bartender, and server. It also seemed like he was interviewing and/or training someone during this time as he would sit at the bar and talk to a girl. Definitely juggling a lot of things so I understand he may have been frustrated, but his attitude took away from the dining experience. He made a comment to a couple that came in who sat where it was dirty saying someone had just left so I thought you'd sit where it wasn't dirty, and then cleaned up. Like don't make a customer feel bad for finding a seat at the bar. I also heard him complain or explain to another customer that people didn't know what they wanted to order and he didn't like waiting around while they were making up their mind. Maybe he knew these people and was joking, but it didn't seem that way. I liked the space and ambiance of this place. Bathroom only had two stalls, but everything was relatively clean and they had two different hand soap pumps to choose from. Plenty of parking as it is in a shopping plaza. Not sure I can recommend it. Definitely the candy drink and fried green beans for sure. And price was great as drink was $9 and food was $7 each. Just not sure if I'd come back or want to bring people here due to the service. read more

Valued. I'm typically not in the east valley but I did a lot of research to find a "healthy" restaurant. Everything else is bar/pub type food. This place delivered with lots of excellent choices. It was very spacious inside and not too crowded. Parking was a little complicated because people from the gym across the street take up the closer spots. So I had to walk a little further on crutches. I had the Thai Shrimp Lettuce Wraps and they were excellent! Very valued choice for some delicious and nutritious food! Looking forward to trying the Phoenix location. read more

Stopped here for breakfast this morning Service: our waitress Patricia was great. Good recommendations, very attentive. Food: my 2 eggs, scrambled were cooked perfectly, the bacon was delicious and nice and crispy, the red potatoes were great. I asked for some asparagus instead of toast and they accommodated me nicely. The ends needed to be trimmed a bit more but over all excellent. Hubby had the blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were HUGE and very flavorful. Unfortunately the rest of the pancakes tasted bland - needed more vanilla. read more

I came back to Tryst, but was unhappy with my order. The spring rolls were dry and not fresh. The roasted cauliflower wasn't that great either.

Beer battered green beans were great and so was the garlic Parmesan fries! The Bbq burgers were wonderful.

Nice atmosphere, good music, and decent food. Service can surely be improved as wait staff isn't really attentive. There was only 1 person walking around and checking on tables. Waited long for glasses of water, which had gunk in them. Hummus was really cold and some parts were frozen so hoping for better room temp or fresh hummus next time, but well tasted good. The tamales were delicious, the side of cabbage was unnecessary as it was raw with no dressing. Fish n chips was the worst. Fish and fries both were soggy and my husband didn't even eat half of it. We'd surely come back to try other dishes, just not the fried soggy stuff. read more

I live close to this place however this will probably not be a family favorite. The food was good yet if the service was better it would have made our first visit a lot more desirable. Our server wasn't very welcoming since the initial greeting. We sat at our table for about 10 mins before he came to introduce himself. Which I didn't even hear his name ! He continued to forget items and was unapologetic about it. Once we got our food we still didn't have any silverware to eat with which should have been given within the first few minutes of being seated. This experience was a little disappointing because service is usually wonderful this area. read more

Great service, but very overpriced for what it was. Expected more of a personalized vibe even though it's apparently a chain. The food was ok, slightly overcooked. All butter and jam in packets. Interestingly, the apparent manager came around and checked on all of the tables around me at least twice during my visit, but never stopped by mine once (maybe because I was traveling on business and was alone? I don't know. Odd, though.). All in all, felt like a slightly-better decorated meal from Denny's. Cost $20ish for simple egg breakfast & coffee with no extras. I don't recommend it. read more

We went there today for Sunday brunch to celebrate my Dad's birthday. It's so nice to have a safe place for my family members allergic to gluten to eat. The food and service were both great! The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was the music. They had a DJ playing loud music the entire time. I mean LOUD ... like it was some kind of nightclub. This was a dude with a stand in the middle of the room, headphones, spinning records... A full on DJ. It was so odd. I don't understand the thought behind that at all. I just wanted to eat some eggs and hang out with my fam. It was not enjoyable for any of us and we had a hard time hearing each other. I felt bad for some of the older people there because I could tell they couldn't hear their friends either. We'll try it again because, like I said, everything else was great. Maybe next time I'll call ahead and see what time the DJ will be there read more
