John S. on Filiberto’s Mexican Food in Chandler: This place is almost equally good for the bizarre, meth-ridden people it attracts as it is for its food.

Colin M. on Papi Chulo’s Mexican Grill & Cantina in Scottsdale: The hostess and the (I’m assuming) owner are dressed up. The rest of the front-of-house staff is dressed like it’s a coed Hooters.

Justin L. on Gordon Biersch Brewery & Restaurant in Tempe: Mediocrity, thy name is Gordon.

Ian B. on Four Peaks Brewing Company in Tempe: We went on Saturday night … and there was a half hour wait to get a table for two. This was largely due to the number of quasi-hipsters, dudes with beards

Mike S. on Chipotle Mexican Grill in Gilbert: Oh, Chipotle. So delicious, yet so punishing later.

Payam M. on Zaytoon Kabob Bistro in Phoenix: If you ate at the Persian Room or Pars, you are not going to like this. If those two are Mercedes, Zaytoon Kabob is a Kia.

Amy W. on Rustic Café in Phoenix: I feel bad for the owners and staff members based on the reviews posted here. Clearly they had a crazy customer that used this site to post more than a dozen negative comments

Kathy N. on Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Buckeye: Living in Buckeye, I’m sorry to say that this location is not one of the better restaurants. The only CB worse than this is the one in Clinton, NJ on

Fred M. on Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana in Scottsdale: I don’t care where you got your tomatoes, in fact, the fact you get them from Italy is actually a bad thing in my book. If you got them from the farmer’s

Dave W. on The Main Inredient Ale House and Café in Phoenix: OK, let me say this, I used to love this place, before it became a smoking patio hangout. Now the porch smells like an old ashtray mixed with
