The Macintosh

Overall rating: 4.5/5Wait: 4/5Arrival time: Tuesday 4:30pmFood: 4.5/5Order: chicken sandwich, honey butter biscuits, fried brussels Service: 4/5Price: 4/5Worth it, would come backThe MacIntosh offers a delightful dining experience that's sure to please most palates. The chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the honey butter biscuits that were just the right mix of sweet and savory. The fried brussels were a standout, crispy and well-seasoned. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the ambiance was cozy yet modern. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, the overall quality of food, service, and atmosphere makes it worth a visit.

We took our 19-year-old college boys to dinner for their birthday in May at the Macintosh. I like that reservations are available for small parties, and also I was excited to try their happy hour. We were seated promptly at a high top table in the bar area. We let them know when we made the reservation that we were celebrating two birthdays, and they were immediately recognized. One server took drink and appetizer orders, and then handed everything off to a different server (who we started completely over with). Perhaps that's how the appetizers got messed up.Because it was the last night of restaurant week, one son ordered from the three course menu. He had the House smoked salmon appetizer, which was a ENORMOUS piece of tender smoked salmon with crackers and a side of yummy remoulade. He also ordered the ribs and the Butterscotch Pecan Pie. Perhaps because we had ordered a dessert, the house brought us a complimentary birthday order of charred brussel sprouts with whole roasted garlic cloves, tons of bacon and balsamic. They were amazing and I was shocked that all three of my men ate them! Super light and crispy from the deep fryer, they hardly represented vegetables anymore. Plated on a large cutting board dumped out of a big mason jar, super cute presentation. But also super good stuff! I ordered the $9 smoked salmon dip from the happy hour menu. I did not receive it. What I received was the $17 smoked salmon appetizer that was the same as my son's. Well, I actually would have preferred the dip, because I brought my own GF rice crackers. But the salmon was delicious even though twice the price of what I intended. I did not realize this dish was not the happy hour dip until the bill came, and when I inquired I was told that the salmon appetizer was not on happy hour. Yet no one offered to make this right when it wasn't what I had ordered. I sipped a HH Sazerac throughout the meal, it was boozy and strong, definitely didn't need two. I started with the beets and blue cheese appetizer from the happy hour menu. The beats were perfectly cooked, the cheese and walnuts were plentiful, I really only missed some kind of greens from this dish. I also had the Happy Hour blackened shrimp with risotto and arugula. It was good but unremarkable. I had ordered a side of the jalapeno cheese grits just to try, but it never arrived. Perhaps I forgot to reorder it because I was full.Spouse ordered a burger, as did the other son. He even chose asparagus as his side dish! Everyone was smiling at the end. Servers switch off and the one that handled the bill was different from the one who took the order. This, they seemed not to care that I was charged and delivered a different item than I ordered. I will have to come back to try the items I missed!

I've been here way too many times at this point. It's convenient and well located. Parking might be a little tough and lunch time is quite busy during the week, reservations strongly encouraged! This place has some of the best Brussels sprouts in town! One of my favorite appetizers, right amount of texture, delicious glaze, and whole garlic cloves tossed in there - they do come with bacon which you can ask to be on the side or removed. My go to lately is the salmon with chopped salad, perfectly cooked salmon every time. I skip the smoked salmon since it's a thicker cold cut (not lox type). Another great entree that's not as light but I would recommend is the shrimp po'boy which is so good.The service there is always great and the restaurant is always well maintained and clean.

We had a table of 6 for lunch, so we made reservations in advance. It wasn't busy but I always appreciate a place that takes reservations no matter the party size. I had the portabella sandwich which was served on a nice focaccia bread. Toasted and tasty. I didn't want fries so opted for the jalapeño grits which were fantastic with fresh jalapeño. Hubby had the brisket sandwich which he said was a bit plain but the sauce was good and the slaw outstanding. Service was five star!

We had lunch here today while enjoying the Makers Market. My daughter and I each had the Ahi Poke Bowl and hubby has the brisket sandwich and fries. Everyone enjoyed their meals! There is not a lot of tuna, it's mixed with shrimp and other goodies but the flavor was excellent. Husband says the sandwich was fantastic and I stole a few fries (yummy)We each had a drink (Paloma/wine/beer). Good service as well. $93 before tip

The ambiance here is on of the great things here that keeps me coming back. Very quaint and a chill vibe that I makes me feel glad to be there. Dining here over the years has been nonstop with great experiences. I have brought friends here from my hometown Chicago and they too have loved everything about it.The food is delightful. Everything is cooked to order and from scratch. So many favorites like the charred brussel sprouts. This makes my mouth water when I think of them. Candied bacon, 'low and slow' garlic with balsamic reduction. This is the best. Then there are the boat load of wings that I discovered I prefer having the bbq sauce on the side instead of the wings tossed in it. Also, they have a buttermilk pesto dressing that I was introduced to for a dipping since they do not have blue cheese dressing. The buttermilk pesto sends tantalizing sparks throughout my mouth when enjoying it on with the wings. Have you tried the biscuits? Get them by themselves or the happy hour chicken and biscuit and you won't be disappointed.Can we talk about dessert? For the longest I would get the Dark Chocolate Brownie because I love chocolate and a good gooey brownie that's warm, topped with ice cream. This is the best of brownies. Then I was on this bread pudding venture wanting to know what is breading pudding and why is it so popular. Well The Macintosh was the 3rd and final place I tried breading pudding. I fell in love with it. The other couple of places I had tried bread pudding from were dry and I didn't care for the texture or flavors. But here you get bread pudding made from their biscuits topped with ice cream and bourbon anglaise. OMG!!!! Saying this is delicious is an understatement The service team is always so pleasantly kind and hospitable. Sharing their suggestions has helped me many times to enjoy different meals on my visits.When I realized I hadn't done a review here I couldn't believe it so here it is. If you didn't get it from the review, plainly said...I love this place.

Friends!! We celebrated our dear friend's birthday at The Macintosh tonight. The experience was fantastic, the atmosphere was buzzy, our service team was super attentive, and the food was GREAT!!! They have a fantastic happy hour menu, and we loved that. The menu has an abundance of choices, ranging from vegetarian options to all kinds of meats! The salads, sandwiches, and pork chop were well seasoned and flavorful, but the macaroni and cheese took the spotlight. The chef himself came out with a special desert to honor our friend's birthday, which was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend trying out this great new find. Also, it's super conveniently close to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods!! My grade: A+

We were visiting friends in PHX for a small reunion with friends and meeting a couple of travel advisors for the first time in person. The food was delicious and the staff were absolutely outstanding!

I stopped in here for lunch today and really great experience!I chose to sit at the bar and it was pretty empty when I came in here at noon. Bartender was nice and service was spot on.Noodle salad with seared ahi tuna was delicious. Lunch total with beer, salad and upcharge for ahi tuna, tax and tip came to close to $50. Not exactly a cheap lunch.They did throw in a free appetizer coupon on next visit, which is good for 2 weeks.Nice spot and would consider coming back when I feel like treating myself to a nice lunch every once in awhile.Just the seared ahi tuna is worth it!Nice date spot too to impress that special someone!

Our server TANNER was amazing and made our business lunch fabulous! He knew we were all undecided and we had so many questions about the menu. He brought us a sample of their smoked salmon with homemade crackers and remoulade and OMG!!! I hadn't been there in years but might have to visit again soon now!
