She reacted quickly, avoided disaster, apologized, cleaned up the mess, gave extra napkins, and comped me on my drink. Our steaks were absolutely delicious, our pasta was al dente as we like it, and our fish was perfectly flaky and moist. Compliments to the chef, except for failing to spot the platter crack at the pass. Parking is easy and plentiful. 4 dinners, 3 drinks, an appetizer, and a free birthday flan were $280 with tax and tip. Not cheap, but worth it for us. BTW, we're seeing more AI electronic wall displays, and BLU is no exception. The loop of the infinity pool and shoreline from inside a beach cabana was more relaxing than annoying - YMMV if you are an artist.

A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

My first time here: I will definitely be back and wish there was one closer to home. I decided to…read morecheck this out after a doctor appointment heading back home due to the massive closure of all Salad & Go. Apparently, the original owners sold to a private equity firm 5-6years ago and those owners started the Angie's. All this girl wants is a practical healthy salad on the go. I can't stand fast-food chains version of salads and this is why I was Salads & Go's hugest fan. The quality got crappy the last several years and prices just went insane. I stopped here and had no idea what to do, lol. There is a QR code to order from your phone so I proceeded with that method while in the drive-thru. I find it funny that they have posted statements about their method of service noting that they don't mean to be rude. Reading other comments posted here complaining about the lack of customer service is entertaining. They strive for an automated service which I appreciate but can also see how this can also repel those who are social chatter bugs and even the senior population.... Possibly first-timers too ‍ I ordered the Chicken Greek Salad. This is my favorite meal of all time. It's the one thing I can eat over and over. Yes, I will miss that creamy feta Greek dressing from Salad & Go but their traditional Greek dressing here is also amazing. What was the best part was the grilled chicken!! It was perfect! The entire salad was fresh and the perfect size! I hate when establishments push huge portions and want you to pay astronomical prices. People don't need to eat that much and it's such a waste of food and money. I got this salad all under $6 with taxes and all. That's the way it should be- a perfectly size healthy fresh meal and on the go!! The part that made me especially happy is the packaging! The salad comes in an environmentally friendly container; just the plastic lid and I'm sure they chose that for aesthetic purposes so that you can see it immediately. They also post about not accepting bag/utensils/etc if not needed. Something I opt out when I'm taking it directly home or it's for work where I had silverware on hand.

I enjoy eating at Angie's Prime Grill, especially their salads and the honey chili ranch--it's…read morereally good. However, almost every time I order, something is missing or made incorrectly. I usually ask for half romaine and half rice. The last two times they forgot to add the rice, and today when I ordered, I didn't receive the romaine lettuce at all. The food itself is great, but the repeated mistakes with my order have been frustrating. I'm hoping they can pay closer attention to the details because I really do like their salads and would love to keep coming back.

I've been wanting to try Tempura Takeover for years. Last night the stars aligned and we made it to…read morethe pop up at Hair of the Dog. I had high expectations. Tempura Takeover did not disappoint. We ordered outside at the food truck and they brought the food into the bar. I got the sloppy lobster burger. Hubby got two bulgogi tacos and a side of fries. There were no prices on the menu, but the total without tip was $48. My lobster burger was divine--chunks of tempura lobster, perfectly, cooked. I'm not going to guess what was in either sauce but they were both excellent and made the dish. Fries were solid. Downsides, it was about a 30 minute wait, which was clearly communicated. We got there about 5 minutes after open and there was a small line. There's probably strategy to make it go faster--get there at open or 30 to 45 minutes after. Food seemed to come out fast after the initial rush. Also, i would have liked ketchup as an option for the fries.

That shrimp taco is fantastic!!…read more Tempura Takeover is now a food truck. They post their locations on https://tempuratakeover.com/ I'm not a big fan of a lot of sushi or fusion sauces so was asking about the Takeover sauce. Ahdana, the owner, clearly took pride in the sauce and offered me a sample. I was gearing up to politely say it's not for me but I actually loved it! I would buy a bottle to have at home if I could. (hint: need this in stores!) I got the shrimp taco and the bulgogi taco. The shrimp taco was my favorite! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and there was plenty of it. The tempura had a great crunch and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. It's definitely on my top tacos list and I'll be popping by whenever I can. I'm already craving it again!

It was our first time here which is surprising since we live less than 5 minutes away. We got there…read morearound 5p on a Friday and were seated right away. It definitely got busier as we were dining. Our server was Tammy and she was really attentive and nice. She went through the menu with us as it was our first time there. There were 2 of us and we got: 2lbs crawfish, 1 lbs mussels, 3 corn, 4 potatoes, and 2 orders of the sausages (4pc). We ordered the trifecta sauce, hot. It was the perfect amount for the both of us. I loved that they gave us a little extra sauce on the side so we could dip each piece. The food came out pretty quickly as well. There was also a handwashing station nearby so you didn't have to go all the way to the bathrooms to wash your hands. They give you all the supplies you need to eat such as gloves, hand wipes, bibs. We'll definitely be back!!

I had been here a few times since it first opened, but it had been a while since the last visit. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted and sat. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Even offered a recommendation for a seasonal drink that was pretty refreshing. What We Ordered: ~ Angry Edamame: Always love edamame, and add some seasoning with a little spice - perfection! ~ Snow Crab (trifecta, spice level 3) + corn: My usual go to, but wish I did Level 4 though the server talked me out of it saying it's a big jump between the two levels. Next time, I'm going for it! Pretty decent flavor, though I've preferred other crab boils in the valley recently. ~ Fried Oyster Po Boy: My boyfriend said he wasn't a big fan of this comparative to the ones he has had growing up in Florida. Definitely a pass for next time. ~ Hot Honey Blueberry Lemonade: Very refreshing and perfect for the Arizona heat. Definitely love to see this drink on the menu or seasonally. Overall, a great experience with a low key atmosphere that you'd expect for a crab shack. Love the sinks to wash your hands! A great place for us in the east valley to get our seafood boil fix.

It's time for another disprover review!…read more I strongly recommend this place. For context, I went on a Friday night, tried 3 beers and ate food while sitting at the bar. Service was outstanding. I was skeptical as it's a big bar and they only had one bartender, but my man was on his game. Even the walkups waiting for tables got served pretty quick! Beer choices were amazing. My friends ordered cocktails both on and off the menu and were very satisfied. I haven't had a good Poutine in a long time, since Chicago, and this one was close. I blame inflation but it was still above average. I didn't smell anything, no bleach or sewage, and felt super welcome by attendees also watching March Madness. And $6 a pint in this economy?!? Give it to me. I call Queens Creek 'Phoenish', but if you're in the area swing by there.
