Wow I just had their Cuban with homemade chips it was awesome. It's a tad pricy (just under $11 without drink) for a sandwich in downtown Mesa but it was worth it. I will most certainly be back as my office is within walking distance. read more

Yep Fantastic! Love the chicken sandwich. Fresh and local. Go if you can. It's fresh and good vibes read more

The first time I came here, I knew this was the best chicken sandwich I ever had. It's been 3 years since I've had this sandwich. I've drove 6 hours and had this place be my first place to eat to start off our honeymoon. Will continue to comeback, as it worth the travel. To Aubrey and McKinney, we appreciate the hospitality! read more

Heading to Mesa for an errand and checked Yelp for some lunch ideas. I picked Worth Takeaway and BOY, am I glad!! This place is one of the Best! Friendly staff and great Service. The food is amazing and so Delicious. My lunch was the Crispy Chicken sandwich which was tasty, warm and full of flavor. My wife's lunch was the Vegetarian sandwich which was also very good. On the Veggie sandwich the Yam was cut just a tad too thick for my taste but, otherwise a very good sandwich. We shared an order of housemade chips that were quite good. I saw the breakfast hash and it looked very tasty as well. I will be returning whenever I am in the area, I want to try just about every other item on their menu board. read more

Ordered: buffalo chicken sandwich w/ chips Chicken bacon ranch w/ chips The buffalo chicken sandwich is worth the hype. The buffalo sauce will not roast your face off with scoville units but it will provide an excellent flavor paired with the crispy chicken. The chicken bacon ranch needs a little work. The chicken breast was so large that it made it difficult to eat. On top of that the toppings made it a very slippery sandwich plus a little on the soggy side. The flavor of it was good but it was a wrestling match figuring out how to bite into the sandwich without the guts flying out the other end. read more

Does this place need another five star review? Well here it is. My husband had a crispy chicken and I had the calabrian turkey. Both really good and with a bite to the dressing. The fattening crispy chicken was the best of the two. Don't be shy to grab seating or you will need to eat in your car. We will be back but this time we will share. read more

I should've known better than to doubt Worth. And not just because Worth fetches hundreds upon hundreds of five star Yelp reviews as of my first visit here. I've also sampled Worth at the most recent Devour Culinary Festival and really enjoyed the samples they offered. I'll freely admit some of my skepticism going in was tied to my general disinterest in the Mesa food scene. Part of me genuinely wondered if Mesa residents who might be unaccustomed to great food in other parts of the valley were driving all those 5 star reviews for this place. But on a Sunday at lunchtime, I decided to put my doubts aside and make the drive to Downtown Mesa. Worth is accessible by car or light rail on the north side of Main Street in Downtown Mesa just east of Country Club Drive. Jim & Kelsey Strothers' place can be easy to miss as its quite tiny. Seating for 15 max inside and maybe another 20 outside. Its no wonder then that this is mostly a takeout spot. The menu is posted above the register and they'll relay the day's specials when you order up front. I decided to dine in on a relatively quiet Sunday and researched their menu in advance of my arrival. Worth proudly proclaims their Cuban sandwich as their proudest creation on their Yelp account, so naturally that would be my inaugural sandwich choice. They also make their own in house potato chips so I grabbed a sack of those. They also make an in house soda every day (today was a Watermelon & Basil soda) so I got one of those. And lastly their only dessert option is a house made banana pudding so I ordered that as well. Total cost for all the house made food, drink, and tax came to about $21. For the record, Worth's Cuban sandwich shouldn't be mistaken for a truly traditional Cuban sandwich, but rather Worth's own version of it. Here the bread is ciabatta (sourced from regional bread maker City Bakery) stuffed with havarti cheese, house made pickles, dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and lots of cured slow roasted pork. One bite confirmed that Worth has every right to be prideful about this sandwich. The pork is out of this world and the Ciabatta is a great vehicle for holding it all together. The house made chips that came alongside had a dash of sea salt, but weren't greasy and cooked to a perfect crunch. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the meal was the soda. I don't drink soda and as such was a little uncertain as to whether I would enjoy one house made, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The watermelon and basil combo gave the soda a slightly tart texture and the soda itself wasn't overly carbonated (in fact I barely noticed the carbonation). The banana pudding was a nice cold creamy finisher with big chunks of bananas layered in with heavy cream and breading. Plus it was served in a small portable portion size for one. In addition to their lunch offerings, Worth also has some breakfast items for the morning crowd and a burger for the late afternoon crowd. Worth also takes great pains to source all of their ingredients and beverages locally and regionally with vendors like Danzeisen Dairy, RAD Juice, Provision Coffee, and Steadfast Farm. And now they also offer a full catering menu. So apologies to Worth and their Mesa Yelp fans for doubting you. It won't happen again. At Worth the prices are fabulous, the staff are incredibly kind, and the food is outstanding. Today's lesson? When you're a restaurant fetching a 5 star average through more than 400 reviews on Yelp, its not a fluke. Don't question such a Yelp phenomenon as I did. You'll only be missing out. read more

I ate at Worth Takeaway on Thursday, 8/13 for the first time and the place/staff is amazing. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich and I loved everything about it! The buffalo sauce was perfect, the bread was nice and fresh, and I loved how they put thinly sliced celery on it! I waited 10 minutes longer than they had initially told me it would be, and they made up for tenfold! Also, they threw in a free bread pudding for the wait and it was AWESOMEEE! Needless to say, I will definitely be back read more

This place never disappoints, never. The fish sandwich special is the best sandwich I've had in my lifetime. The crispy chicken is also another fav of ours. Get a side of their homemade chips and order the house soda. Don't forget bread pudding, order extra and thank me later. Go for breakfast lunch or dinner it's "worth" the drive. They also cater and the food is always good too! Highly recommended. read more

Had the Italian Grinder and Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwiches with my daughter for lunch. Found the restaurant on Yelp, and it was the perfect lunch spot! Both sandwiches were delicious, and we had their banana pudding for dessert....it was SO GOOD! read more

Tried here for the first time today. Simply amazing food. I had the Reuben and my wife had the hot ham and cheese. Both were delicious. We shared a tomato soup that was tasty deliciousness. Plus the homemade chips. We will be back soon read more

I love this place a lot. The four stars are simply because this is the second time I've ordered banana pudding and it wasn't placed in my to go order. First time I didn't say anything as people make mistakes, but it is disappointing lol should have checked my bag before I left the restaurant i suppose. But still, great place and friendly customer service. Would recommend! read more

Neither my wife or myself remember how we heard about this place but I'm so happy we tried it! I had the crispy chicken sandwich with a side of greens. It was outrageously good! The sandwich had a good sized piece of perfectly fried chicken breast on some excellent chabota(?SP?) Bread with house made sweet\spicy pickles and a delicious shiracha sauce. The small side salad had a nice mix of premium greens and a very good vinaigrette. The only minor down side would be the small seating area, normally this time of year we would have just sat outside but unfortunately it was raining today. Again a very minor gripe. I love to find another small locally owned eatery to add to our rotation, with places like this I don't understand why people would want to go to chain restaurants.. read more

I walked a mile to get here. After eating here, I would have walked 2 miles! Quaint little place. Very friendly staff. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious and I loved the homemade potato chips. The vinaigrette on the Simple Greens salad was perfect. The star however was the banana pudding. I'm not even sure how to describe how good it is. Just eat some. read more

Crispy chicken sandwich is to die for! And if you're lucky, get the Banana pudding! Owners And the staff r super awesome.

Worth Takeaway is still AMAZING! We have ordered from here multiple times during the pandemic. The food is still always excellent quality. I love that they post the weekly special on Instagram (it is successful at creating temptation tough). There has only been one mistake in one of our orders and they absolutely *bent over backwards* to make it right. Still one of the absolute best sandwich shops in the valley! read more

This place is great! From the food to the customer service it as an awesome experience. We had a larger group and wouldn't be able to fit inside so we were in the process of finding another place to eat...until a guy from the brewery a couple shops down told us that we could eat in their outside area and have our food brought over to us. Which was a win-win for us because we really want to have some beers also. When we received our food we were all blown away by how good it was. Even the chips that came with the sandwiches were great. I highly recommend the buffalo chicken dip. It was great. I will definitely be coming back. As far as the staff, they were excellent. We had a bigger group and they were very attentive to our many requests. Great job! read more

My Fam and I decided to grab a bite at Worth Takeaway after my Daughter's Set at NCT (1 of the BEST Comedy Spots in AZ) and just next door to WT BoY HoWDy! Great Food (we got the Burgers) ~ Friendly Staff ~ Chill Atmosphere ~ Clean Restrooms... I could go on and on ... and to think, my initial plan was to find a BK afterwards ~ So glad we stopped by. We'll definitely be back for seconds! read more

Fantastic sandwiches!! We took ours to go and went to Oro for a beer. Fabulous meal.

Came in for lunch with spouse and kids. Ended up leaving before we were even able to eat our food due to circumstances that just got the original review flagged. I reached out to the owners with no response. Kelsey/Jim Bob, can one of you please respond when you are back from vacation? I would like to discuss with you. read more

This tiny sandwich shop is not small on character or flavor! You can taste the passion and creativity that each meal is prepared with. I highly recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich as the addition of shredded carrots brought an additional crunch to the classic buffalo and blue cheese zing. read more

Get the crispy chicken sandwich. Thank me later. This is a sandwich for those times when all you want is a great sandwich. Worth takeaway takes something relatively simple, a chicken sandwich, and elevates it into something more. The meat is tender, the bread choice is perfect and that honey siracha sauce ties it all together. If you're feeling for a little something sweet after your sandwich, get the banana pudding. It is a delight. I want to try more of their menu, but whenever I go I can't help but order the chicken sandwich. read more

Always great sandwiches but are seasonal for the most part :( Bring back the lox sandwich!! lol Also, not many drink options, but many coffee shops nearby to grab a coffee while you wait for your food read more

The food is fresh and never disappoints. The service is prompt and courteous. Fun spot to sit outside to talk and eat.

Hands down one of my favorite spots to visit in Mesa. I have had almost everything on their menu and everything is so good my favorite is their chicken nuggets and the beef dip sandwich but can never go wrong with what ever their special is for that week! Love it!!! read more

Such a great spot! I grew up not far from here. My family frequents more than I do, but when I get the chance.. one of my first choices hands down. The crispy Chicken or Cuban is Great staff! A must try and part of your weekly routine! read more

This place is the holy grail of hidden local treasure. Everything they make is made to perfection. We have eaten here quite a few times and have never ordered anything that disappoints. Their staff are cheerful, courteous and helpful. Our orders are correct and ready on time. I send everyone I know to eat here. Worth every penny. read more

The wife and I ordered take out from Worth Takeaway tonight. I had the Reuben. I added pickles, they were made by WT. The pickles and sauerkraut had a good crunch. The bread was fresh baked from local bakery PROOF; crunchy crust ciabatta went great with the smooth dijonnaise. Wife had the chicken salad on sweet potatoes instead of the bun. They are awesome with switching out the bun. I hate bananas. But they had a special where you get their famous banana pudding with a entree purchase. I ate it, I loved it, I am in an existential crisis. But I loved it. read more

The food was everything promised. The staff was helpful and polite. They need a bigger place! And a sign!

Fresh from panning for gold in Apache Junction, we stopped in Mesa on our way back to Scottsdale. We were hungry and looking to trade our treasures for good food. At first, the wife thought we were lost, seeing only a string of car dealerships, car washes and car repair shops. Then, a giant "sandwich" sign was visible on the horizon, though largely obscured by overgrown trees. We parked the car and made our way inside what seemed like an oasis. Free bottles of cold water!!! Kids food for $4!!! What sort of business is this? A fantastic one. My wife, connoisseur of buffalo chicken sandwiches, says "the crunchy chicken, the slaw, the sauce, the bits of blue cheese... this is the best d*** buffalo chicken sandwich I've ever had." My children cannot understand how potato-y the chips are. "Have we always been eating potato chips? What were those other things?" they wonder aloud. Satisfied, we load back into the car and spend the remainder of our trip home talking about the food from this place. Turns out we had to pay with real dollars. But check those cacti -- some have a little fool's gold in their jars! read more

Believe it or not, this was actually my first time dining by myself AND at @worthtakeaway wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be pictured here is a veggie sandwich filled with roasted sweet potato, dried cranberries, pickled cabbage, herbed ricotta, on sour bread. Honestly, it was soooo much better than I'd expected. The beet and sweet potato combo was surprisingly delicious. And while there weren't very many cranberries, the flavor was still prominent, but didn't overpower the sandwich. Not to mention the sourdough was perfectly crispy. The only thing is that it's on the sweeter side so if you're looking for something more savory, I'd recommend the Chicken Veggie Hash so, my final verdict is yes, it's very WORTH it read more

This place used the be the bomb and had great customer service but has really been lacking lately. The staff doesn't really care about customer experience anymore. Girl with pink stripe in her hair wasn't warm and seemed annoyed with any questions. Got the French dip and asked for extra horseradish and they charge an extra $1 for a tiny sauce. So silly. I tasted the "horseradish" and it tasted and looked like ranch. I told the same server it tasted like ranch with no spice and she said it was horseradish. Lame. Best part of French dip is the horseradish! Also au jus was cold:( Very disappointed lately. read more
