Hands down - best sandwich shop in the entire Phoenix and surrounding area. Tiny tiny place that doesn't try to impress by trying to do too many things at once. The Crispy Chicken may be the best lunch item I've ever eaten. Pair these sandwiches with a beer from Oro Brewery, a couple doors down, and you've found the nook and cranny where the locals go to eat and drink. read more

This place is simply amazing. I have come here a handful of times and each time it's better than the last! The staff is nice and accommodating and the food is delicious and portioned very generously. My go-to is the crispy chicken sandwich and I always get extra honey siracha sauce on the side to drench my sandwich in- the sauce is PHENOMENAL. The banana pudding is out of this world, and I don't even like bananas. I love that everything is local from the delicious milk they sell (Danzeisen Dairy) to the bread they use for their sandwiches. I don't live close to Mesa where they are located but the trip out there is worth it every time- hence the name. LOVE this place- RUN and check it out! read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly even though we were walking in closer to close than I would have liked. I went with my parents and everything we had was delicious! I got the buffalo chicken and usually expect ciabatta sandwiches to be tiny but these were HUGE, full size sammies with an entire crispy chicken breast on there. Fresh celery and carrot slaw with a perfect amount of blue cheese and buffalo sauce made this a perfect sandwich. My dad got the grilled cheese and added pastrami to it which was incredible (possible special idea??) with the cherry, oat bread and jelly that came with it. My mom got the Ruben which wasn't quite my style, I felt like something was off having it on ciabatta rather than rye, but to each his own and was still really good. The banana pudding desert is something to dream over and would stop by if that is all you had to offer. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the mesa area and will highly recommend to everyone. PS. To all of the low star reviews complaining about the price, please realize that the days of the 5 dollar footlong are gone and that for 10 bucks you are getting food that is actually cooked and prepared with passion rather than some cold cuts thrown together on a hoagie bun. Quit complaining and enjoy the fact that we now are getting back to a time where we can eat real food. read more

I don't give reviews often, let alone five star reviews, so this should go a long way if you're trying to determine if you should eat here. You can tell they put a lot of love in their food. High quality ingredients, clean restaurant, fun drinks and great customer service. The crispy chicken is bomb and the banana pudding is out of this world. Bonus: if you read the negative reviews on yelp the owner personally responds to each one and you can tell it's a heartfelt response. Can't ask for much more! read more

Absolutely amazing !! The Cuban sandwich was heavenly and the Kelsey was a doll! We were at Oro brewery next door and ordered sandwiches, lime soda and the home made chips! Everything was wonderful and service was fantastic! read more

We love this place!! My wife and I have eaten here several times a month for the past year and have experienced great quality food that tastes amazing with every meal. On top of that the customer service is top notch! read more

Yes!! This place is small, don't let that fool you. The food explodes with flavor and they use local ingredients. The owner is great and so helpful. I had the grilled cheese and omg yum. The chips are wonderful with the blue cheese dip. I'm going here again to try the next thing I want. Go here if you are in the area, you'll be glad you did. read more

SO. GOOD. My husband and daughter and I were here a couple of weeks ago, right when they were opening and the sandwiches were on point! We shared the Chicken Salad sandwich and the Cuban sandwich. We couldn't decide which we liked better, since the chicken salad was a delicious cold sandwich and the Cuban was a melt in your mouth hot sandwich. They have perfected (already!) the balance of sweet and savory, the bread was outstanding, the sandwiches were very filling, but in a good way. And then the banana pudding. Oh man save room the banana pudding, (or get one, or two to go!). TRUST. It's that good. The owners were there and couldn't have been nicer, and we are so excited to go back and try more of the menu. Can't wait for my daughter to get the grilled cheese with jam on the side, mainly so I can sneak some bites! And the breakfasts and sides look delicious. We will return Worth! read more

Amazing and worth every penny. The prices were a little high but the flavors justify. If you're in the mesa area this is a must stop. I definitely recommend the crispy chicken, grilled cheese, and banana pudding. read more

Such a cute neighborhood spot! The vibe and decor is great and the food does not disappoint! I had the croque Madame and simple greens and everything was great. The dressing on the greens was so fresh and flavorful. Then we had the banana pudding... You could see the fresh vanilla beans throughout and there is an amazing salty sweet flavor that was so unique yet maintains the "down home" flavor you know and love. The service was super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend this awesome little gem. read more

AMAZING!!! Get the crispy chicken sandwich. SO GOOD!!! You won't be disappointed. The lime soda is also excellent and refreshing. I'm from UT and plan on eating here every time I come to Mesa now. WOW. read more

Hip and delicious! I had the crispy chicken--cooked perfectly, great flavor! The house-made sodas are excellent too. Friendly staff, quick service. Stop here for lunch--you'll be glad you did! read more

Came here with a friend for the first time today and overall great experience. It was a bit tough to find at first, but that made it one of those "hole in the wall" type places as the owner said haha. I'd compare this place to a diamond in the rough as they say. It's a bit challenging to find right now till they get their sign in but besides that everything was fantastic. The second we walked in we were greeted warmly, got some of the recommendations, and she was more than happy to describe each dish to us. We decided to order the pastrami breakfast and chicken veggie hash. We also had a cup of coffee which is made from a local place. It really has that perfect aroma and acidity to it that you wouldn't really find at a place at Starbucks. The chicken veggie hash I felt was rather great. It's very healthy yet it has extraordinary taste. They seem to get this perfect char on their sweet potatoes that give it a tangy taste and the chicken was perfectly flavored. The pastrami croque madam was also very nice. The bashmel sauce with the pastrami and mustard and egg topping was absolutely delicious! The bread was perfectly toasted and the flavors really complimented each other in the dish. The service was very timely and the owner would come and check in on us every now and then to make sure everything was good and what we thought of the food and if we had any things that we thought they could adjust to better suit their customer base. This is definitely a place I would come back to and I plan to! Reading the reviews I absolutely have to try the Banana pudding but the meal was so perfectly filling I just can't make room haha. The decor isn't lacking either. It's not over the top but just the right touch. The dining space is all made of a wood type table and the one along the wall has a lot of character to it because I just looks so natural (especially the part by the door.) not a single complaint about this place. Thanks for the great experience! read more

Worth Takeaway - Front of restaurant. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Chicken hash, amazing. Banana pudding, life changing. Service, fast and phenomenal. I would come here often if I lived in Arizona :(. I will miss you. read more

What else can I say? This place is a gem. The staff is friendly, the prices are fair, and the food is delicious. I had the chicken salad today and it was probably the best I've ever had. The banana pudding was also unbelievable. Thanks to Worth Takeaway, I now have a reason to visit downtown Mesa, and I plan to visit often. read more

Great food, I had the Ruben and my boyfriend had the chicken salad sandwich. We both had a side salad and we split the banana pudding. We also had two drinks I give it 4 stars only because of the price....$36 read more

Came all the way from San Diego to eat at Worth Takeway! I had the chicken salad sandwich and my friend had the rueben. We literally licked our fingers clean - it was amazing. Then I had their banana pudding and I was in heaven. Please open a shop in California! read more

THE BEST CRISPY CHICKEN I'VE EVER HAD. I usually get it as a sandwich but this time I got it as a salad and WOWZA. I got like 8 ounces of crispy chicken with the yummiest of sweet potatoes and pickles. It's now a day later and I'm going back for lunch today. You need to go here ASAP read more

Two words...Banana Pudding. Amazing. The Ruben, cold brew coffee, homemade "pop" were all superb. The absolute best part are the owners, Kelsey and Jim Bob, however. True neighborhood, local business vibe. Felt like dinner at a friends. A must in Mesa. Your loss if you miss out. read more

My wife and I had business in the area yesterday and decided on an early lunch. WOW. Small and family-owned our sandwiches were creative and tasted amazing. She enjoyed the generous grilled cheese which was on a raisin nut bread wth a side of house made jam. Of course I had a bite! I had their Rueben which was served on a chibatta roll. Again a generous portion, the pastrami was tender, flavorful and not fatty. Really good value considering the quality of the ingredients. In the era of chain restaurants it's good to know that you can still find spots like this. We so enjoyed lunch under an umbrella covered table out front while it rained softly, perfect. Chatting with the friendly owner was fun too! read more

Super tasty food and great vibe. Definitely try the seasonal soda! Will come back again!

Wow! Nitro cold brew coffee!!!!!! The Cuban and crispy chicken sandwich are on point. Never leave without trying the banana pudding. I will be back again and again. read more

This is long overdue!!! Owners are such nice people. I got hooked on the Crispy chicken Sandwich. Their Cuban sandwich is also so delicious... On my first visit I also tried their reuben!!!! They really use fresh ingredients... Their take on their home made mustard, and pickles are all worth coming back for. Banana pudding-- Very delicious & yummy!!!! Its really worth to take away!!!! read more

I love this down town Mesa sandwich place. For a cool change of pace get the hot chicken sandwich converted to a salad. My wife and I hit Worth about once a week read more

I went for breakfast without knowing anything about this cafe. Does not look like much from the outside but the food was excellent. Not for the ham and egg set but if you want a delicious meal that is out of the ordinary definitely try Worth Takeaway. read more

Just tried them for the first time. The guy was super helpful with the mixer advice. Ordered two sandwiches and a couple mixers. $55. When we got home we only had one sandwich. Called up ask the guy about it and he was short and rude about it. The one sandwich we got was good but the service was piss poor. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Where to start !! I had the Cuban and the crispy chicken sandwich with chips and that AMAZING banana pudding. Everything I ate was perfect , you can tell that it's a scratch kitchen , including the pickles on the sandwich , home made pudding , local ciabatta ! This little restaurant was buzzing during lunch , really happy to see such great from scratch food being put back on the table , opposed to the cookie cutter chain restaurants popping up everywhere. 5 ***** easily job well done. Can't wait to be back to try the Ruben !!! read more

My husband drove me from North Phoenix just to have a sandwich. First impression was it's a cute, small, and cozy atmosphere. Customer service was excellent. Had the Reuben with home made sauerkraut which was warm and delicious. Tried my husband's Cuban which was a drier sandwich vs the Reuben but just as flavorful. Sneaked a bite of a to go crispy chicken sandwich. It was spicer than expected as honey was a listed ingredient but was very good. It it wasn't for it was my third sandwich to have tried I would have had more. Loved the low cost side of greens with shaved salt. Made the salad more flavorful. The complimentary waters are a great touch of this restaurant though the home made root beer is wonderful. read more

I am always excited to see what is on the Menu! Great healthy options.

We ordered several sandwiches for a small party and each sandwich was absolutely delicious. Each sandwich, although familiar, was made with ingredients that made them even better. Everyone raved! The salad was wonderful too! I will definitely be going back for more. read more

Really delicious, from scratch food and an awesome staff. The crispy chicken sandwich was really good.

One of, if not the best Reuben I've ever had. I'm routinely disappointed with subpar Reubens, not today. Do yourself a favor and order the house made chips. read more

This little specialty sandwich shop in downtown Mesa is worth the stop. The menu is small, but all of the sandwiches use interesting flavors to jazz up the sandwich. Bread is always fresh and the flavors are very good. Worth will partner with other local restaurants to feature a brisket sandwich or to combine their talents with the meats from other places, making those daily specials even more special. I wish they let you do a half-sandwich, as they are often too filling and a little too expensive to do more frequently than once every few weeks, but Worth keeping on your list of great little lunch places. read more

A quaint little sandwich shop with great food! I had the veggie sandwich, my husband the cuban. Both very tasty. I had never had a veggie sandwich with sweet potatoes and I was pleasantly surprised how good it tasted. The pickled cabbage also on the sandwich made it colorful and pleasing to look at. We also ordered the potato chips and the tap root beer. YUM! We were to full to try the banana pudding which worked out fine because they ran out. Our only complaint was with ourselves...we should of shared. We were heading to a play at the Mesa Art Center after lunch so we couldn't keep the half we didn't eat so it just ended up in the garbage. Very Sad. :( read more

My husband and I stopped by yesterday afternoon after reading the yelp reviews. There is nothing fancy about the inside and it is small, but it has a nice outdoor seating area that we would have taken advantage of except for this time of year it is a bit hot. The menu is small but the sandwiches have some creative combinations of toppings and both were delicious. I had the chicken salad which was not your typical chicken salad, it had rotisserie chicken, olives and other toppings on an artisan bread - delicious. My husband had the crispy chicken sandwich and loved it as well. We tried the homemade watermelon lime soda, also very creative and refreshing. We saw one of the employees walk out with a tray of food and come back a bit later - it wasn't until reading more of the reviews today that we learned you can go to the brewery a few doors down and have them deliver there while you drink your beer. Next time there is a good possibility we will do that, but I'm glad we got to try the homemade soda regardless. With regard to the complaints about price from other reviewers, I get it, but if you want something a bit different with quality ingredients and not your run of the mill sandwich it is a great place to go. If we lived closer we would be back more often. read more

Bananas for the banana pudding (with butterfinger shavings). The spiced honey latte is worth the more than 1 mile trip. Skip the French Dip. read more

Glad to have another great restaurant in Downtown Mesa. The Cuban was amazing but, let me tell you about the Banana pudding.. Out of this world!! Glad I made the stop today for lunch. read more

I've been here a couple times now and I am impressed with the quality of food they offer and the level of pride they take in their offerings. This past Friday I elected to try the rotisserie chicken to go and was glad I did. Portion size is enough for 2-4 people however I would highly recommend getting a second order of vegetables because they are that good! Don't forget to add a couple salads and make sure you get the banana dessert when you go. Keep up the great work guys! read more

Love this place. We always get their buffalo chicken sandwich and a grilled cheese because their dipping sauce is phenomenal. Order the banana cream pudding if it's available. There's a reason it sells out every day! read more
