Smoked Salmon Benedict
Jay S.

Since my partner and I lived very close to this place, we decided to pay a visit, and got a pretty modest standard brunch before carrying on for the rest of our day. There were highlights and areas of improvement, and even if I probably won't return simply because I do not live in Phoenix, I do believe this place is a neighborhood gem in a good location for those that are looking for a good time with friends while having some food. Their menu on that day had smoked salmon benedict as an item, so I ordered that, and it was overall pretty salty. As much as smoked salmon should be salty, my opinion was that it was even saltier than what I considered it normally should be. The grits on the side barely had any flavor which was unfortunately a minus in this case. The hollandaise sauce on the top was the biggest highlight because it somehow provided a flavor balance for the dish. My partner had the biscuits and gravy, and didn't particularly enjoy it also because of the lack of flavor, in addition to the gravy being a little bit watery. Finally, maybe it's because of the specific donut we got, but the Portuguese donut was very dry and hard, so even eating it was a bit difficult, and the sweetness was just defined by the sugar on the surface. Neither my partner and I really got the hype for it. Even with these dishes that overall didn't work as well for us, I do notice many more dishes on their menu, so I have no doubt that people are able to find dishes that fit them. I would still recommend those around this area checking this place out.

Willo Chicken Sandwich
Brooke K.

Fist time here and we definitely enjoyed! Busy on a Sunday but service and seating was efficient. Food was so yummy - savory crepes were filled with chicken, my husband loved his chicken sandwich and the waffle was great. Perfect hint of vanilla. Somewhat fast casual / order at the counter and sit. Great for a casual brunch!

Inside is cute, clean and decorated well

We haven't been here in a few years, but it was time to return. We loved it the first time we came and I'm surprised we haven't come sooner. Definitely a great brunch/breakfast place. I didn't try the lunch or coffee either time but their breakfast and brunch items yummy! The place itself is small and cozy with some outdoor seating. You order first before sitting down. I love the blue color scheme inside. The service is fast and staff is nice. I ordered the Wilcox avenue: 2 eggs, herbed potatoes, buttermilk biscuit or toast and choice of meat. The eggs were done great! Not too overdone or watery. Like the potatoes with skin still on. The biscuit and bacon was my favorite! Biscuit was very fluffy and tasty and the jam was made from scratch. There is something about offering made from scratch jam that adds that extra touch. It was strawberry jam and ever so good. The bacon was cooked to my liking a little crisp but not too soft. I loved my plate. My boyfriend had the Mexican Benedict: poached eggs, chorizo, hollandaise on sopes, herbed potatoes. Plenty of chorizo and he definitely approved. Another thing to add to the aesthetics was the beautiful dishware. Looked like handmade ceramics. Very pretty. The water cups were a great touch, copper cups. There is plenty of to choose from. I definitely want to try their baked goods next time and pancakes. I definitely recommend for brunch/breakfast place.

My second time here and the food here is still amazing! Although slightly pricier than most brunch places, and you have to line up to order and find your own seat like a cafeteria, the food choices can't be beat. Noise level is a bit above average, not the place to bring your laptop to sip on your coffee... Lots of flies everywhere, recommend some kinda contraption to control it.

Corned Beef Omelette Special
Steven G.

Had to visit while in Phx; haven't been in a while. Did not disappoint; never does. The food is always amazing. Portions are healthy to say the least. And the service is always top notch and personal. Food here just tastes different and home made. In a neighborhood type of location with tough parking, but well worth it. Can sit inside or plenty of tables outside as well. This one is a can't miss.

Mexican Benedict
Leslie G.

Great reviews brought us here. It's an order at the counter then seat yourself. Food is brought to your table while you need to pick up your coffee order in the back. Food was hit and miss. Potatoes barely cooked and no seasoning. The chorizo was delicious. Coffee not flavorful. Both indoor and outdoor seating.

Blackstone Scramble

Food was solid. I got the Blackstone scramble with a hot coffee. The coffee was decent, I like that the refill was self serve. I would like to go back and try their pastries they looked really good. The scramble uses pork shoulder and peppers and onions. The pork shoulder tasted just like ham which isn't a bad thing but it was not what I was expecting. Some small criticisms: The peppers could of been cooked a little more; the potatoes were pretty bland and could definitely be improved. Overall the flavor of the scramble was good and was a satisfying portion. Definitely would go back to try other things.

Portuguese donut
Susan G.

2/7/26: what a cool place! Great food served by friendly staff. The parking could be a bit tricky during business hours (south lot & on the east side), especially if you have a gargantuan vehicle -- but don't let that stop you. We didn't see the front door at the patio area so walked in the "back" door on the east side of the bldg, ran smack dab into their drink station attendants. Ooops. So yes, they have a patio area that was fairly substantial & well shaded. It must be dog friendly, or someone just didn't give a sh*t & brought their dog anyway. You order & pay at the counter, then they seat you with a number stand. We ordered the savory crepes, Wilcox avenue, a Portuguese donut, plus an apple empanada. All of it was delicious & well plated. I wonder if we could have asked them to warm up the donut & empanada ... hmmm, next time. :-) I would highly recommend Vovomeena. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator, "I'll be back". Oh, and their take-home containers are compostable. Love this.

So excited that we came across a Facebook article saying people were driving over two hours just for the pancakes--Vovomeena's did not disappoint! The blueberry pancakes were hands-down the best I've ever had. The cashier clearly knew all the regulars and even asked how we heard about them. He was familiar with the article and mentioned they've had a ton of new visitors because of it, which was fun to hear. The setup is great: you walk in, place your order, then find a seat. Super easy and efficient. The entire staff was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Everything we ordered was delicious. Seating both inside and outside was very nice and comfortable. And honestly, the bathroom says a lot about a restaurant--this one had it all: clean, a candle, and great-smelling soap. That attention to detail really stood out. Anytime I'm in the area, I'll absolutely be stopping by Vovomeena's again!

Johnnycakes
Kaela S.

"Order first, then sit where you'd like" style service. The food was pretty good, but nothing to rave about. The portions are incredibly generous, but it still feels like I paid too much for breakfast food (about or over $20/per person). The whole restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing. Overall, I had a good experience. I ordered the Johnnycakes because they sounded unique, and I like to order food that I've either never tried or can't make myself. These were kind of like a savory pancake and it was very good! Especially with the prickly pear syrup, but at some point the flavor of the syrup got to be overwhelming on the johnnycakes and I got over it about halfway through (but that's my fault for dumping it on there). I ate them with really good and juicy sausages and a side of sweet rice, which was kind of like oatmeal. I was surprised by it, but it actually wasn't that bad. Again, the food was good, but I won't drool thinking about it. It was just good!

Willo Chicken Sandwich
Tracy Y.

The setup is semi self-service as they are a bit understaffed: you order at the counter, they bring the food to your table, but you have to pick up your drinks yourself. I think this would be different on the days when they are expecting more customers! As for the food--it was fine but the atmosphere has added a few points to it. Portions are generous, but the chicken burger was a bit under-seasoned to me. The blueberry pancake was what you'd expect from standard pancakes, fluffy and soaks up all the syrup. Overall, great spot for a relaxing brunch!

Orange Cake
Nina M.

This was out first time here and we sat down for lunch, there was a great selection of breakfast items and the food was very fresh. I ordered the Willo Chicken sandwich that came with bacon and Swiss cheese, the chicken was juicy and well seasoned and the French fries were right amount of crispy. The portions were large. Parking was a little tricky since it is right off the freeway, and the lot it shared by 3 other restaurants but once you're inside it had a great ambiance. The staff was attentive and the service was quick.

Portuguese donut and coffee
Zack F.

This is my favorite breakfast spot in the valley! I had the Blackstone scramble with a portuguese donut this time but can also vouch for the Tortilla Española and the Pain Perdu. The interior feels quite cozy, but larger parties may find it difficult to sit together as you have to grab a table after you order.

We recently visited First Watch in Phoenix and had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Arely,…read morewas attentive, friendly, and absolutely fabulous. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

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.

I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
