Visiting family in Surprise and was looking for a good spot to have lunch. Bonfire did not…read moredisappoint! We went during the week, so I can't attest to whether it gets crowded or not on the weekends; but we were able to sit immediately and for an afternoon weekday it was rather packed. The young server was really helpful with recommendations. Our table ordered the Smoked Wings (dry rub and hot honey), onion rings, fries, side salad, brisket dinner, and the Blue Berry Mule. Everything was delicious!!! I'm not a soul had a complaint. I'd definitely recommended this spot. My only concern is that for a restaurant that size, there's only one bathroom and there are some booths right next to it (I wouldn't want to sit there).

The owner blamed my group of 35 people when we showed up for lunch.* He was understaffed and…read moreservice was extremely slow and choppy. It took an hour to get the food served. * FYI... this occurred a while ago and we didn't show up on our own. We arranged for the luncheon through Bonfire. The owner didn't have adequate staff on hand or prepare, but somehow, this was our fault!? I don't think so!! The group never went back.

Where do I begin. I…read moregot to the restaurant a little early and noticed that this gentleman who had just parked as well had a big smile on his face and was humming a tune as he walked towards the entrance in his nice black slacks and shirt. I walked in at 3:16 pm and was at the hostess desk for maybe 7 seconds when the same gentleman came up, greeted me and seated me. He was by the bar and we got talking about the weather, Texas, NY and life. Still early so he pulled up a chair next to my table and we continued our fun dialogue. Turns out this down to earth and very sweet guy is the owner Emilio Kimble. His wife Maria, also a sweetheart and he have brought this same natural love, care and service to their beautiful restaurant. The restaurant is big with indoor and outdoor seating, a gorgeous bar and tv's galore. My friends Barb and Luci arrived and they got their " usual" Tito's and soda plus a Cab. My Diet Coke was refilled constantly by the our very attentive waitress Emily. The food was stupendous. It had to be as Emilio's and Maria's love was contagious- Luci loved her Diamondback burger( photo). Barbara got really quiet ( a rarity)as she chomped on her tremendous pulled pork burger(;photo) and I got a special tuna salad on wheat with grilled peppers and onions and fresh avocado( photo snapped before I inhaled it). It was a beautiful sandwich. The fries were hot, crispy and tasty. It was a great meal. Big portions too. The regulars poured in and the laughter and fun continued as we moved to the bigger room for the Thursday night trivia. I love that they have a Jazz night, fish fry and shrimp Friday specials, a Billy Joel tribute night, a $16 Easter Buffet in 10 days( sadly I will be in Europe) and so many fun events on the calendar. ( photos). The restaurant is immaculate and bright. There is lots of parking up front. They cater and they deliver. They open daily at 9 am except for Mondays( closed). I am here for a racquetball tournament about 3 miles north and will absolutely bring the guys for the undisputed best meal of their trip. Thank you Emilio, Maria and your lovely team for your kindness and a memorable evening.

I didn't know that. I called the number to speak to somebody to open the gate and the guy told me I had to go around. I tried to explain the guy I didn't know how to go around because I'm not from this area. He then stated "well if you didn't cut me off, I was about to tell you". That was enough for me to tell him don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. I pull up to the other gate and it's him that standing there. He asked me where I'm going and I tell him then, he rest his elbow on my car, tries to look me in the eyes and says "it was really rude of you to hang up on me like that" I explained to him "I didn't like the tone of your voice that's why you got hung up on". He then says "well, what's the address of the place you're going to" like he doesn't know where I'm going You don't need this kind of trouble just to try to go somewhere to get a bite to eat. Let the retirement home people have this place because you're not missing anything.

I'm really disappointed with my visit. I'm not hard to please, and I really felt like none of the…read morestaff cared. I had a movie at Fat Cats at 1:30, and I came in just after 11:30. I had never been to First Watch before, but I expected a wait. I checked in and was quoted 25 minutes for a party of four. After 30 minutes, I checked in again and was told I was second in line. A few more minutes went by, so I asked again, and now I was fifth in line. I was confused, and they explained that people checking in online could jump ahead of me. They also said they were unable to accurately quote a wait time, and that it could end up being much longer. I know many other places use a hybrid check-in system, and I've never experienced an issue like this. I understand when things simply take longer than expected, but tables were being turned over and people were being seated. I must have just been incredibly unlucky with the timing of people checking in online. After finally being seated about 45 minutes later, we put our order in right away since we were now going to be cutting it close. I'm used to breakfast places being pretty quick, but it took another 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We ended up being 15 minutes late to the movie. I expected the opening credits to still be rolling, so I wasn't too stressed, but we definitely missed the first five minutes or so of the movie. The food was pretty good, but my eggs were over hard when I had ordered them over medium. What disappointed me the most was that nobody seemed to care that the quoted wait time was so far off. There was no apology or acknowledgment. Our waitress was okay, but she avoided our table like the plague while we were waiting for our food, probably because she knew it was taking so long. Empathy and kind words go a long way.

We ordered the ham steak and eggs w/ O'Brien potatoes and toast (see the picture), a side of pancakes, country fried steak and eggs, and a 2-egg breakfast w/sausage and hashbrowns. The ham steak comes with red eye gravy. I didn't know what that was and hated it. So I scraped it off and used their fresh salsas instead, and it was so dang good. The pancakes were also delicious. They were light and fluffy and had a touch of sweetness. I used the strawberry jam from the toast on the pancake and I think it made it even better. The gravy from the chicken fried steak was also a hit! The food was 95% good, but there were a couple of hiccups. The hash browns were burnt darker than dark. I feel like they should've never made it out of the kitchen. Also, the jalapeño cheddar biscuit was very thick and stodgy. I also got a specialty latte (can't remember which) and that was bitter and not at all something I'd get again. To recap: you can't go wrong with the pancakes or chicken fried steak. Make sure to ask for salsa. Skip the latte. Overall the experience was great and I'd go back next time we're in town.

This location has absolutely no respect for delivery drivers or the customers paying for their…read morefood. Drivers are treated like an inconvenience and can be left waiting 15 minutes or longer. Even when an order is already bagged and ready behind the counter, staff refuse to hand it over. Instead, drivers are told to "wait up front" while completed orders sit there until several deliveries can be taken out at once. Customers pay for timely delivery, yet their completed orders are intentionally delayed for the store's convenience. Drivers are dispatched to pick up orders within expected timeframes, and when completed orders are deliberately held for 15 minutes or more instead of being released, it deprives customers of the timely service they paid for and amounts to what many would consider theft of that service. The attitude is just as bad as the delays. Staff speak to drivers like they're children, with a smug, condescending attitude, and even laugh while drivers are left standing there waiting. Wasting a driver's time is wasting their income, and deliberately holding completed orders means customers aren't receiving the prompt service they paid for. It's disrespectful to the drivers, unfair to the customers, and completely unprofessional.
