The Coffee Builders

★★★★★ 4.9 (234) • $$

"Went here for a Yelp elite event and loved the overall experience. Overall I would recommend this place from the core of my heart & taste buds.Here are my takes:Food/Drinks: I got the fancy farmhouse and the masala specialty drink. Both were very well presented and tasted great. This is a unique cafe find with very unique menu that I have never seen anywhere else. This place is maybe the best cafe I have ever been to in Phoenix City. Great experience. Service: The staff is one of the nicest you would interact with. Very welcoming and they go above and beyond with everything. We in fact went a day early but we reached after closing time. They offered us an iced tea instead for free since their kitchen was closed.Ambiance: Great interior decor and unique take on every element of the place. It's romantic as well as great for kids and business folks. Hygiene: Top-notch cleanliness overall from seating to the counters, everywhere. Price: The price may be a little over average for the food items at least but it's about the quality of the items and also very unique menu items. I see myself be regular here since this is just a mile away from my office location."

Joe's Philly Steak & More

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (129) • $

"Went on a early Saturday evening after going to Bookman's. We opted to dine in since the place was empty. We ordered a large Original and a order of fries to share. Everything was cooked to order and the counter girl was pleasant and helpful. After ordering she was actually the person that actually cooked our order. On a good note she washed her hands before cooking our meal.Within 5 or so minutes it was done, smoking hot. Everything was appealing to the eye and she gave us an extra basket to use since we were sharing. Fries home cut and just like Mom used to make. The bread to the sandwich was fresh, soft and amazing. Meat tender. Taste, I wouldn't really call it a Philly. The meat was seasoned literally with a lot of black pepper. Don't get me wrong it was a really good steak sandwich but not really a Philly. Not enough cheese made for a very dry sandwich. Some hot and sweet pepper would have made this a 4 star sandwich. They may offer but we didn't ask.The only negative is it didn't look like the tables had been wiped down after diners left. But in the restaurants defense there was only one person doing it all. When we left there were about 6 other diners that had ordered and there wasn't anyway she could take orders, cook and clean at the same time. We will definitely be visiting Joe's again. It really was a good steak sandwich and the fries were awesome!"

Giant Hamburgers

★★★★☆ 4.3 (756) • $$

"Wow....I'm impressed! First, the name says it all, that's not false advertising. The burger was giant! I was pleasantly surprised when I first walked in by the old diner feels...loved that aspect. Both employees were great and super friendly, always a plus in my book. The burgers are made to order and grilled on a flat top. I went with the cheese burger and added green chilies. This burger just hit different....in a very good way...I think it was the cheese and the way it was cooked. Whatever voodoo science that was involved, I want more! Oh...and really good fries. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'm coming back...probably with some friends. Super like this place!"

US Egg

★★★★☆ 4 (573) • $$

"It's been a while so I figured it's time to update my review. Still great as ever. This last visit I had the garden omelette add sausage and ham. The portion was extra large with the add ins. I was so hungry I didn't snap a photo op but just know I highly recommend. I personally always sit on the patio as the inside is a bit cramped and loud for my preference. Service is quick and reliable at every visit. Great little breakfast spot."

Meat the Cheese

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"THE BEST!! They catered my son's birthday party and I don't know who enjoyed the food more, the kids or the adults."

PHX Eats Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (54) • $

"I work nearby and have relied on Phx Eats for breakfast and lunch many times - always good (love the One Egg Wonder sandwich), but today, today was awesome. Their special was grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was like homemade, exactly what you expect. Creamy tomato soup, excellent spices and a crispy, cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. (If only it weren't 90 degrees out...lol, Phoenix in November!). I hope they have this special often this winter, SO good."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (167) • $

"Personally, I love this store! Usually swing in on my way home from work and get "what I always get" (I'm a creature of habit- haha).Clean Restaurant, always friendly, hard working Staff. They get overwhelmed with orders at time, but thats a sign of good food if you ask me. I cut them some slack for it.Keep up the great work, Guys!!"

New York Bagels N Bialys - Pima

★★★★☆ 3.6 (94) • $$

"I needed some breakfast and ordered an Everything bagel w/egg. Their bagels were on par with New York bagels with a nice chewy inside. Service was pleasant. On my way out I got a pull apart roll to take to my neighbors who are so nice. I find it sweet that they have a dog menu too. Large parking area and Cox WiFi for subscribers."

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."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (25)

"Good quality was good, but customer service was not. Not impressed with the employees who had air pods in and barley spoke with us while trying to make our sandwiches. Restaurant looked clean. Probably won't be back."

Pat's Pizza Plus

★★★★☆ 3.8 (249)

"We have been going here for years and it just keeps getting better. The pizza is a New York style with a perfectly crisp, yet slightly doughy crust. A nice little layer of delicious grease with just the right amount of fresh tomato sauce, and mozzarella with savory Italian spices. I'm not a wing person but my husband is and he says there's no better wings than Pats. The people are nice and the service efficient. My favorite traditional pizza hands down."

Anthem Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.5 (67)

"Good local spot. Patio is a plus. Friendly staff. Drive through location. Check hours."

Brunch House

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (72)

"So I saw this the other day at the spot where the old Mongolian barbecue was and was pretty excited to try it. Took the light here this morning. Hoping to really love it. Overall, it's okay. Now the hotcakes are really tasty with a nice fluffiness to them and they have a sweet flavor to them without anything on them. I got the breakfast quesadilla which is pretty good flavor wise, but I think the overall feeling of the place is it's pretty basic at least for the stuff that we got. We did notice a lot of other things. Very Southern on the menu like fried catfish and chicken and waffles. That could be better but the breakfast we got is pretty basic and not something we'd come back for. We don't really have any options for their eggs at scrambled, scrambled or scrambled. The toast is pretty much Wonder bread and the sausage is quite honestly pretty sad. They're still in the process of opening so I think things ran fairly smoothly considering and our waitress was good. But overall probably not a place that we will run back to. There's so many great breakfast and run spots within a 20-minute drive of our house, this one's not going to get us very often."

Ray's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (67)

"I had a slice of pizza. It had the correct ratio of cheese, sauce and pepperoni. The wings Gould have been a little crisper and spicier but were still delicious and flavorful. The sauce had the nice vinegar tangy taste I like with buffalo sauce. The cheese bread is actual bread and not cheese on pizza dough which is just a cheese pizza. Service was fast and friendly."

Biscuits - Sun Lakes

★★★★☆ 3.8 (29)

"Went in for a late breakfast. We were in a hurry and ended up getting the food to go and eating a few bites there, then leaving. The Waitress didn't bat an eyelash at our request and got us done and out the door in good time. I had the Biscuits and gravy. The gravy was wonderful and flavorful, but the biscuits were hard as rocks until I broke them apart and let the gravy soften them up. My wife had a chef's salad and it was large and had plenty of toppings. Overall - not bad!!"

Jimmy & Joe's Pizzeria Serious Slices-Chandler

★★★★☆ 3.5 (147) • $

"The world needs more dine in pizza slice places. Jimi has been shouting this from the mountain top. Accidentally also shouted out my social security number so please disregard those near said mountain. Stopped in for a slice amidst a podcast walk and enjoyed it. The slice took the exact right amount of time to digest as I hit the bathroom right when I got home. Jimi approves. 5 stars"

Mahon's Sandwich Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (20) • $

"This little sandwich place is a 3 minute walk away for me and always a good eat. The shop sits in the lobby of an office building on Central Ave, so if you are in the area and need a quick lunch, stop by!They create classic sandwiches that come with chips and a pickle spear. This is always a good lunch choice with my work group. They also sell salads, energy drinks, tea, breakfast burritos, soup, etc."

The Nest North

★★★★★ 4.5 (21)

"Came here at 5pm on a Saturday. Service was fantastic. There was loud great music playing, tons of TVs with sports playing. There was a jukebox and dart boards. The place was pretty busy for 5pm on a Saturday but our server stayed on top of everything. Our drinks never had a chance to get empty. We had potato skins as an appetizer and they were really good. My husband had fish and chips. He said the fish was good but tartar sauce wasn't great - very acidic. I had the French dip. The sandwich was kinda dry but still good. Au jus was super salty. Tots were good. And they get props for having amazing pickle spears! We'll be back for sure. It was a bit warm inside, so summer could be interesting!"

The Crepe Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28)

"So I just realized this past week that though I'm on the ASU Tempe Campus every day working, I didn't know that The Crepe Club was right in the heart of it. What an amazing hidden gem in the middle of the campus!! I stopped by today for the first time, and had such a positive experience. Among other students and staff, it was clear watching others order that everyone was there for something different. Some stopped by for the delicious coffee. Others for a "Sweet Crepe" like the "S'Mores Nutella" or "Strawberry Shortcrepe." I stopped by on the other hand for a "Savory Crepe" for lunch. I chose the Mediterranean Chicken regular-size crepe, made with grilled chicken, mozzarella, garlic, and sun dried tomato aioli. Yum!! I would have loved to try one of the "Sweet Crepes" though the crepe I had was so filling that I didn't have room for another one, even if it was dessert. That just means that I need to come back another day. I was greeted by Maria, who recognized me from a long while back when she managed another dining venue on the campus. Not only did I feel like a valued customer, but I saw Maria and her staff treating EVERY student and staff member before and after me with the same respect. That's called customer service! She even walked around checking on how everyone was doing and what they thought of the food. I should say that this particular location of The Crepe Club is an outdoor stand-alone restaurant with outdoor seating, though I had no problem finding a place to sit. I wonder what it would have been like between classes though. Regardless, the delicious food and the great customer service make it worth stopping by! I look forward to trying out their Biltmore location at some point soon."

Mr. Pickles Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.5 (76)

"Don't @ me because "the customer is always right"... "in matters of taste".... Which is the rest of the expression. And since this is a matter of taste then my opinion is mine. Not yours. I went to mr pickels to have "the best sandwich I've ever had anywhere in the world in my whole life" with expectations that it would live up to those comments that have been shared so many times. And honestly. If this place is the best sandwich shop you've ever been to ever, then that speaks volumes about you. As in, you dont Get out much. So. Here it is. I got the 1/2 "Santa Maria tri tip" on the crunch roll. Mac salad and an ice tea. 20 bucks. (Looks good, doesn't it?)It wasn't terrible (it was ok) but I will absolutely not get that sandwich again. Attempting Santa Maria tri tip is no easy task. Especially if you don't know how to do it. It requires tri tip roast, spog, and RED OAK. Real red oak. That's it. This thing had a weird chemical taste and I had a hard time trying to figure out what it was. (I also had a hard time eating it). It was artificial smoke. Ok. But what's the other weird flavor? The weird bbq sauce. They fight each other for your attention and the loser is me.... It doesn't work. Tri tip itself was fairly dry and stringy and the sandwich left me with a lingering weird aftertaste. But like I said. Santa Maria style is hard. There once was one place in scottsdale, the smokhaüs that had a pretty good tri tip sandwich but that place is long gone. Anyway.. the roll was good. I'll get it again on something different. Idk. Maybe if I'd tried something else I would have had a better experience. But: the macaroni salad was very bland. It doesn't seem like there is anything in it other than elbow Mac and mayo. I'm told their potato salad is good so if I go back I'll try that. the price though, idk. I can't say it was a good value if I was still hungry after eating and had to find something else to eat. That said I'm glad I didn't get a whole sandwich. On the positive side, The cookie was really good. As was the brisk brand ice tea. Service was very friendly. Place was clean. I had very high hopes based on others reviews and feel like. Idk. It was Meh. That's the thing with review sites like this one and one of the reasons I'm glad one can be critical on here Even though the perpetually offended will lash out. Anyway. I feel set up. Pranked. If I hadn't read so many "best sandwich I've ever had in my whole life" comments I wouldn't have had the high hopes that I had And I probably wouldn't have bothered to write this. To me it was just "ok". But that acrid taste on the tri tip? That's a giant nope! Don't forget, mr pickles is a franchise. And has franchised cooperate structures. But it's also just another sub shop. A solid 3 1/2 star sub shop. I know I know. All I ever post is negative. Lol. Just so long as you ignore all the other places I've raved about on here in the past."

Kale Chef Service

"Absolute service. Kristen was a pleasure doing business with. Chef Jason prepared a beautiful, delicious Sunday birthday breakfast for my family. We had a personal hiccup in the home and Jason was so professional and carried on .. business as usual. The food prepared was fresh, colorful and absolutely delicious. The portions were big and we had left overs in which we snacked on and built upon all day. We will definitely hire Kale again!"

Scramble, a Breakfast & Lunch Joint

★★★★☆ 4 (1107) • $$

"We came to Scramble at the suggestion of our son whose birthday was today, 1st day of November. It was our first time visiting here. We arrived right after the lunch crowd but I believe the busy time is with the breakfast crowd. I didn't know what to expect and had no idea what I was going to order but it seems you can also add other items to what is on the menu as my son did being a regular at this eatery. As I perused the menu I decided that I would order the Phoenix. It comes with chorizo, green chilies, cheddar, pick de gallo and crispy has browns and ordered it with scrambled eggs, with toasted sour dough bread. I was delighted with my order as it was yummy. My wife had a small order of scrambled eggs with sausage, and toast. My son ordered French toast and scrambled eggs. The place is very clean and has the ambiance of a family friendly atmosphere. You do have to order before and you are given a number to place at your table so that they know where they will bring the order to. After we had finished the gentleman that had taken our order came to our table take our dishes away and came back to strike into a conversation with my son as I had mentioned before to we were here to celebrate my son's birthday. My son asked him when his birthday was since he mentioned he had a birthday last month. Low and behold his birthday was on the same day as mine. The staff is friendly as well as helpful.It is located off of 7th Street and Mountain View Road in a strip mall. We will definitely return here again."

Remix

★★★★☆ 4.4 (5)

"Great new place next to Novel ice cream. Menu is filled with eclectic items like bagels with horsey sauce (like Arby's??), cereal milk lattes, and fun sodas (root beer w/ chai). I got the date latte and an everything bagel with roast beef - both were excellent. It's important to shop local so downtown Phoenix remains artistic and quirky!"

Ike's Love & Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4 (84) • $$

"When it's hot, my appetite wains. We ordered a Menage AU trois sandwich to go but ate it there. Delicious as always and very sloppy. Good thing we ate it there with a ton of napkins. It's gooey and dripping with secret sauce. The chicken is tasty along with the three cheeses inside. As a member of the Ike's club, I typed in my cell number after ordering. I was given a discount on my meal so I was happy about that. Thank you Ike! I also liked the all gender restrooms. My only issue was the phone kept ringing and ringing with no one answering. I am sure the people on the other end were not happy about this. I don't know if they have an answering service, recording or what but this issue needs to be rectified. I did see staff answer the phone once. She was the only staff so I do understand. Another staff appeared about 20 minutes later.Shared outside parking."

Blu Burger Grille

★★★★☆ 4.1 (365) • $$

"I can't express enough how wonderful this place really is. On this day, I tried the beef sliders. The sliders were close to the best for me in city. Here's why: ratio to meat, bun, and flavor. Nailed it! Of course, I built my own. Bleu cheese crumbles, chipotle mayo, and lettuce. I also got roasted jalapenos!Nothing was skipped on. I could taste and see everything I added to my sliders. Okay, to the Truffle fries. Amazing! I did my food dance as soon as those flavors touched my pallet. Everything was fantastic per usual. There hasn't been anything here that I tried I didn't love. Keep up the 5 star food and service!Service is always pleasant and seamless for me."

"We, with others, etc -have had pickup and deliveries since my last review, and I have been so busy, and literally backlogged on my reviews for months now,..But wow -THIS NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED AGAIN NOW!!!!Needed a quick dinner, from the long day/evening, and ordered thru 3rd party delivery,..Only to afterwords see that they were literally closing in a few minutes! We figured it would be a cancelled order, so we promptly began searching for somewhere else to order an asap dinner NOWWW!!Nope! No such need in this situation with Corleone's tonite!We were blessed and totally lucked out!!BEST SANDWICHES we've had from there, which we never thought they could make them any better than they already are!! The meat has such flavor, that perfectly goes with their OMG GRILLED ONIONS THAT LITERALLY MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!I am not sure how they even made it to our place without dissolving into the sandwich!I am DEFINITELY NOT a CHEESE WHIZ person!I actually ordered my 1st sandwich from here with it on the side! But, I very quickly realized that noooo, it needs to be on it when made! Kudos to the staff for such yummyness -And, an obvious thank you to management and the owner, for bringing in the best people to help make our scrumptious food!"

Ray's Pizza Cave Creek

★★★★☆ 3.9 (87) • $$

"The guys at Ray's are super nice. Only one other couple eating here so service was fast and helpful. We ordered some cheese slices to go. They asked if we would mind a slight wait. They wanted to make up a new pie for us. Great! We had a seat and waited patiently.The boxed pie was ready to go quite quickly. One of the staff brought the box to our table and thanked us. Nice service!I reheated the pizza since it was cold. The slices were big in size. We thought the pizza was good and a bit on the salty side which no doubt is from the cheese. The crust was chewy. We will have to compare it with a New York slice next time we visit. In the meantime this slice fit the bill. Large outdoor parking lot with Cox WiFi for subscribers."

Pane Bianco - Central

★★★★☆ 4.2 (620) • $$

"Came here with a friend for lunch, solid lunch spot, cute and charming.Market sandwich was sold out, so I got the housemade mozzarella sandwich, very fresh and tasty! Only ate half as very filling and had another half for dinner.Friend got the prosciutto San Daniele, looked good and it was gone!Great lunch spot and we sat for a bit chatting and catching up. The place closes at 3 pm, so there's that.This is next door to Lux Coffee, which is always packed with people."

Bongiorno Bagels

★★★★★ 4.6 (516) • $

"I enjoyed Bongiorno Bagels a hole lot! These bagels are legit. I visited on a Saturday morning and not surprisingly, the store was packed. I made several attempts to place an order over the phone on my way to the store but their line busy. The line as well as the staff moved pretty quickly. Their team was friendly and thorough.I've tried their egg and cheese sandwich on a gluten-free bagel as well as a few non-gluten-free bagels. Though having a gluten-free option is fantastic, I very much prefer their traditional bagels. The everything, cinnamon raisin, and jalapeño cheddar were among the bagels I've tried. All three were excellent and paired well with their cream cheese! I will definitely be back."

"The grand opening of Ike's was stellar today. I have been a fan for years now and am so happy there's a location even closer now. The inside looks fresh, colorful, and inviting. I love that we can order our favorite sandwiches at any location as long as the ingredients are in stock. I love the #9, and the Spiffy Tiffy. My sandwich was made perfectly and it hit the spot. I highly recommend coming here and to keep coming back. Also, read the message on your bags. It's impressive and amazing to see this type of company valies"
