The Most Flavorful Salad in Mesa

MVPita Mediterranean Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (812) • $$

"This place was really good. Loved my pita sandwich. Next time I'm getting hummus on the side to add to it. The spicy hummus was my favorite. We also got falafels that were fresh and delicious. The chicken was okay but I prefer the gyro meat and kabob! They were getting pretty busy when we were there too."

Adela's Italian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (773) • $$

"This is an excellent Italian Restaurant. My first course was the Insalata di Spinaci (Spinach Salad). The salad was delicious and perfectly dressed. The complimentary bread that came with the meal was outstanding. For the main course, I ordered Fettuccine Della Casa and Penne all' Arrabbiata, both dishes were incredible. The service at the restaurant is top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you enjoy Italian Food."

Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (800)

"Loved this experience! Getting hit with the jazz guitar music walking in, the art on the wall, and the smell of the food was unique and memorable. I took a spot at the bar and was attended to quickly, even though the place was packed. I ordered the Duck and Andouille Sausage Gumbo (cup) and the Catfish Dinner. The gumbo was packed with flavor and had the perfect kick. The catfish was flaky and cooked perfectly. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'm totally gonna hit this place up again....there's lots on the menu I must try!"

Richardson's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (1014)

"Richardson's is a well known local establishment serving up New Mexican-inspired fare for the last 30+ years... It is warm and cozy with a Southwestern vibe.I've been in for dinner a couple of times over the years, most recently on a double date with my husband and some friends. We made a reservation ahead of time -- I recommend you always do so to avoid a long wait. Even with a res, we waited for a bit at the bar and had a drink... no big deal.Service was attentive at the bar and also once we were seated. We went with the pan seared salmon bites appetizer for the table, accompanied by some drinks. For entrees, three of us went with a Chilean Sea Bass special and my husband went with the Chimayo Chicken. Each came with a dinner salad, which was delicious. There are a variety of sides you can choose from too... We all agreed that while tasty, the entrees were all pretty rich and saucy... We are used to eating a bit lighter, so none of us could finish our food, nor did we have room for dessert. That being said, I look at this as a once in a while / special occasion kind of place vs. a regular on the rotation.I definitely want to return for brunch sometime - it's served daily until 4pm. If you've gotten this far in my review and want to meet up to check it out, let me know :)"

The Greene House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (769) • $$

"I had an absolutely amazing lunch here with my team. The service was timely and professional - and executed with amazing expertise. We were sat quickly, the team that served us was sufficient, we had our food delivered promptly, everything was delicious - and we were able to be in and out in under an hour for the six of us. The place's esthetic was very clean and business casual. It's a great place to stop by for a business meeting, special lunch, or a stop after a fitness class. I had the ahi tuna poke lunch meal and it was incredible. Excited to go back!"

Frasher's Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (603) • $$

"I love this place. Came here with coworkers to celebrate a new opportunity. I wont be in the area anymore so we came here. I love the look now since it was remodeled. I think it is more dinning friendly. The ambiance is just great. The table service is a great new touch too. The server did a great job. I got the chicken, turkey, mac & cheese and beans. The food was excellent as always. They do not have koolaid anymore though. I will have to drive up here on the weekends to get that delicious chicken and turkey."

Sidewinder Subs

★★★★☆ 4.4 (385) • $

"Amazing subs! I've been back. Far from me but I love this place! Told everyone I know, go here for subs"

Nino's Greek Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (391) • $$

Red Devil Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.8 (477) • $$

"Been Around A Long TimeRed Devil has been around for a long time because they know what they are doing. The pizza is good, the pasta is good. Such a great spot for a bite to eat.We ordered alfredo, pepperoni/sausage pizza, wings, fried zucchini and mushrooms. It was all very delicious. The pizza had a crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of toppings and cheese. The wings were delicious, meaty, seasoned well, and paired with homade ranch dressing Excellent food and wonderful service! The environment is very relaxing and we will definitely be coming back to eat again soon"

Thai Lotus Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (409) • $$

"The triangle of deliciousness (minus the sketchy 711) on 19th Ave and Glendale is legit. The trifecta - Thai Lotus, Authentic Liberian, and Otoyac are some of the best ethnic restaurants we have in the valley. I decided to try Thai Lotus after being blown away by the adjacent restaurants. I ordered the yellow curry with tofu. I ordered mild spiciness, but it was enough to make my nose run. I'd definitely go back again and try other items."

Shane's Pizza On 87

★★★★☆ 4 (400) • $

"My favorite pizza 8n Chandler, so delicious.. Staff is amazing and the prices are great."

The Hungry Monk

★★★★☆ 3.7 (464) • $$

"They have amazing tasty wings and their trivia nights are so much h fun. It was my first time there and I was pressed"

Panini Bread and Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (267) • $

"When visiting a friend who lives in this area, my other friend and I wanted to stop for a quick drink and a bite to tide us over until dinner later that day. We were amazed at the prices of the food and the quality! Only $7.95 for a London Broil which included the au jus! It even came with a side of pasta salad which was amazing! The place is quaint, but has a decent amount of seating that is comfortable for a quick bite to eat. As well as friendly staff that was attentive, and cleared our plates/tray. We did converse a little with a gentleman who mentioned being from Michigan and hoping to see us return. When in the area and looking for a solid sandwich or salad, this is the place to check out!"

Flower Child

★★★★☆ 4.2 (332) • $$

"I wasn't sure what to expect when we decided to try Flower Child, but I'm so glad we did! I ordered the Mother Earth bowl with steak, and my husband had the Forbidden Rice bowl with chicken. Both dishes exceeded our expectations.When I think of healthy eating, I usually brace myself for something bland and unexciting. But Flower Child completely changed my perspective. The food was bursting with flavor, well-seasoned, and surprisingly filling. You can tell they put a lot of care into the ingredients and preparation.The casual yet inviting atmosphere made it a great spot for a relaxed meal, and the service was friendly and efficient.We're already planning our next visit to explore more of their menu. If you're skeptical about "healthy" food being satisfying, give Flower Child a try--you might just be pleasantly surprised like we were!"

Thai Long-An

★★★★☆ 4.3 (309)

"We were craving some Thai food for lunch and there was a few options, but we settled on this one. This was my first time at this restaurant and there was enough parking spots on a weekend afternoon. There was one other family dining when we arrived, and a few more came while we were there.We ordered crab rangoons for our appetizers, and they came with a sweet and sour sauce. They were delicious! Crispy, hot, and creamy cheese/crab filling. For my entree, I chose the drunken noodles with tofu, spice level 4/5. My dining companion ordered their yellow curry with tofu, spice level 3/5.Our food came out and we dug in. My dish was not piping hot, but moderately warm with some hot spots in the middle. There wasn't enough sauce/flavors and the noodles were more on the mushy side. The tofu was cooked well and tasted great. My dish was not spicy, maybe a 2 or 3, so I added some Sriracha sauce. I tried the yellow curry and it was pretty good.Service was friendly and our waters were refilled appropriately. I may try different dishes if I return in the future, but in the meantime I will choose other Thai restaurants."

Noble Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (295) • $$

"So, I LOVE Noble bread and frequently get it at the farmers market. I do not find myself at the eatery often, as it's not too close to me, but on this fine day the occasion arose and we ordered Noble takeout. Their online platform didn't allow much modifications and my friend was looking for something specific so I called in instead. The gentlemen on the phone was not the friendliest and made sure to note that I could have ordered online, which I do understand and is easier as I was getting food for 5, but also could have had a friendlier tone. I ordered the ham sandwich, friends got the turkey sandwiches, mixed green salad and Italian grinder. All sandwiches come with a side mixed green salad, very basic, just greens - but you can upgrade it to caesar salad. Lastly couple brownies and the hummus with nduja ( it's sort of like a chorizo sausage blend) and pickled veggies on top. It came with fresh house made pita bread. Most of the sandwiches come on their fired pita bread or hoagie. Considering they have so many delicious fresh loafs, but that's okay. Sandwich was quite tasty, fresh ingredients for sure. The brownie was also good, but a bit cakier than I prefer. The stand out for me was the hummus with nduja! I've never had anything like that combination, but it was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be ordering it again or would make a special trip for it! Order was done promptly in 20 minutes and packaged well with all the things we needed. I did noticed their menu changes, sometimes they have trio breads or maybe that was in the past or specials. Menu is not huge by any means, 4 or so sandwiches, classic pizza, variety of sides and take and bake pasta options. Everything is definitely fresh though."

George's Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.4 (289) • $$

"I stopped in for lunch yesterday and was very pleased with my meal. My Gyro was stuffed full and tasted great, and my side salad was freaking terrific. The prices were great too. Win win!"

Pita Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (326) • $$

"The prices have gone up as they have with most places. The fresh juice is now nearly $10 for a cup, which is a bummer because it was so good but I am NOT paying that kind of money for something I'm going to drink in a matter of minutes - my frugal self just cannot justify it. The food is still great despite the cost of inflation. I tried the garlic whip dressing this time and my goodness was it delicious with a very unique taste."

Thai Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (309) • $$

"Randomly found this Thai restaurant. I recommend you to try Drunken noodles, potstickers and banana fried ice-cream for dessert. Food tasted so authentic and good. Ambience is neat and clean for dine-in.I feel the Quantity is less compared to other Thai food restaurants and service was ok."

NY Slicers Deli

★★★★★ 4.5 (267) • $

"Went in and picked up lunch for the office last week. Their sandwiches all looked amazing. I should have called ahead but the staff was very friendly and many regulars that stop by. Great ambiance and the Ruben was fantastic."

Intentional Foods Cafe and Market

★★★★★ 4.9 (178) • $$

"Caring service. Great gluten free menu and the food tastes great! We often order as gifts for friends"

MAD Greens - Scottsdale

★★★★☆ 3.9 (271) • $$

"There are so many restaurants in the area. If looking for fast and fresh, Mad Greens has you covered. From order to checkout, the whole process was under 5 minutes. Much like Chipotle, salads, bowls and wraps are composed in front of guests. Dishes are ordered by name, but are easily customized. Mac and cheese is also available. I did not see anyone ordering them. Not sure if the Mac takes a little longer. If really in a hurry, ordering may be done ahead of time on the app. I ordered a regular sized Edgar Allen Poe. Salads may be upsized to a large for $1 more. The regular was the perfect size for me. Greens were fresh. While the scoops looked a little small, every bite had some variation of toppings. Chicken wasn't dry. Light amount of dressing still had all the greens coated. The salad was perfect for a warm day."

Carlos O'Brien's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (318) • $$

"Old time favoriteCarlos O Brien's has always been a stand-by favorite. The food is always tasty, the staff are always friendly, and the prices are wallet friendly.Today, my lunch companion and I decided to feast from the lunch menu. My lunch companion went with rhe taco and enchilada and I went with the Pollo Fundido.The Pollo Fundido was spot on. Who doesn't like shredded chicken, rolled into a flour tortilla, deep fried, golden and crispy. Topped with flaorful jalapeño cream cheese and covered with melted cheddar, served with rice and beans. Such a large serving, you will have leftovers. If you're looking for great service and tasty food, stop in you won't"

The Lunch Bag Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (208) • $

"If you know me you know I LOVE 2 things which are coffee and sandwiches. The Lunch Bag is a small family business ran by mom and daughter. Seriously, they made me feel like part of the family the second I stepped in. Their meatloaf is made daily and makes the most mouth watering sandwich. The turkey cranberry is stuffed with Turkey and full of flavor, the chicken salad, tuna salad. I can vouch everything we have had from here is fabulous including their homemade desserts. Oatmeal almond cookie is great. As the name implies you get a lunch bag with your sandwich and your choice of chips. Super cute. My only gripe is I wish they were open longer and on weekends as I live 40 minutes away from this wonderful spot. If I lived close I wound be here daily. Please keep doing what you're doing and I wish you continued success!!"

Saketini Japanese Sushi Bar and Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (323) • $$

"I've passed by Saketini many times and never gave it much thought, especially after the fire(?) and the burnt/closed appearance. I was craving a crunchy California roll (cause I'm basic) and it actually is really hard to find! I found a crunchy Cali roll on Saketini's menu and bf ordered a Hungry roll (Avo, cream cheese, tuna). We split beef yakisoba. Our to go order was ready within 10-15 minutes!The crunchy Cali roll was okay. It wasn't as "crunchy" as I'd have preferred. The hungry roll was decent as well. They didn't seem particularly fresh. The beef yakisoba was the best item of the three, and had decent wok hay flavor. Overall Saketini was okay. Daruma is located in the same parking lot and is significantly better!"

The Original Hoagie Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (181) • $

"Clean floors and tables. Friendly staff. Grew up going to south Jersey as a kid and this was the best hoagie I've had on the west coast. Reminds me of wildwood, Avalon and sea isle city hoagies."

Pokitrition - Sushi Burritos & Poke

★★★★☆ 3.9 (229) • $$

"Fresh, delicious sushi burritos. Cheery staff. Cute Space.Tried the Build your own with two proteins ($13.50) and Chicken Karaage Burrito ($14.50).Only nit: take the bulgogi burrito off the menu because I wanted that and it wasn't offered anymore lol."

MAD Greens - Tempe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (234) • $$

"Met up with the family at Tempe Marketplace, we were early for a birthday celebration so we all wanted to grab something to eat while waiting on time to fly, so after checking out what was all there to offer I knew I was more interested in getting a salad so off to Mad Greens I went.After checking out the menu I went with the Don Quixote Salad, it had a bed of mixed greens, southwestern chicken, mango, roasted corn, avocado, jack cheese with a creamy ginger dressing. The combinations of these favors were delish. This was a great tasting salad. I like that we are starting to have more of "fast casual" salad places to choose from because not everyone wants a hamburger or pizza. If looking for a tasty fresh salad go give them a try!"

Texas Roadhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (222) • $$

"Excellent meal once again. Place is packed full of people but we were seated promptly. Great service, great food!"

Fatso's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (216) • $$

"This is a little neighborhood gem that was establishing 1993, I love their little story. Joe, the owner was so nice and came by to introduced his self, love that.Taylor was absolutely amazing, so smart, friendly with big beautiful eyes, I can't believe how she could keep track of not just our party that was quite large, her section was very big. We enjoyed our pizza although the crust could've been more crisp. A fun Neighborhood place where the people are friendly. I WOULD RECOMMEND."

Hon Machi Sushi and Teppanyaki

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (268)

"Looking for a teppanyaki experience that far exceeds Benihana? This is it. The friendliest staff , great chefs, and awesome food. The best part is they are timely in delivery. Teppanyaki is meant to be a great dinner show, but let's be real, no one wants to wait 1.5 hours for the show to start. Highly recommend this spot!"

Frashers Tavern

★★★★★ 4.6 (138) • $$$

"We went to Frashers tavern on a Friday night to enjoy a nice steak dinner for a reasonable price and we weren't disappointed! This restaurant has a casual vibe that's perfect for a romantic dinner without breaking your wallet and with excellent service.We came with another couple and we ordered to ravioli, bacon wrapped scallops, Caesar's salad, ribeye, filet mignon, prime rib dinner, and a steak sandwich ... you name it, we ordered it! Every one of these meals was fantastic and you can't go wrong with the menu here. Top it off with nice bottles of wine and you got a solid steakhouse experience in Scottsdale ... we will definitely be coming back!"

The Farm Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.9 (173) • $$

"We've been to Quiessence before but hadn't explored The Farm Kitchen until recently, when a huge number of our friends all had babies within a few months of each other and we were looking for places to enjoy a nice brunch with possibly screaming babies. The Farm Kitchen is a perfect place for kids, with large grassy areas for running around while parents picnic. This isn't a place to grab food and go - it's more of an "order food and cocktails and sit around for three hours enjoying your weekend" vibe. Bring large blankets and a diaper bag and you can spend a nice afternoon here with 1-2 month olds.Menu-wise, I enjoyed the soup+sandwich option, with some form of meatball soup paired with the chicken BLTDA. The prickly pear margaritas and vodka coolers were also a hit. The Farm Kitchen is less about the food though, honestly, and more about enjoying the nice winter Phoenix weather at a place with grass and trees."

Hunberto's Mexican Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (148) • $

"Menudo is best I have ever had in the last 20 years!! But only served on Saturday and SundaysGreat selection of foodHorchata is a too sweet todayFish taco has an amazing sauce but the fish itself unfortunately seems to be breaded. But the sauce is so good I have ordered fish tacos again. I would drive 30 miles for the menudo they serve here though."

MAD Greens - Dana Park

★★★★☆ 3.7 (188) • $$

"This location is always the best when it comes to customer service- i'm the weirdo that is seriously obsessed with their Pasta Salad & every time im in there they figure out a way to get me exactly the craving of my dreams! The energy is so great in there & you can tell everyone that works there is so kind & loving!
