    Veg Benedict
    Lucy B.

    Tried out Brunch Snob for a Saturday morning breakfast. We were seated quickly but promptly forgotten about. When we did order, we chose the classic Benedict and a veg Benedict (green tomato and avocado). Both came with a side of spicy potatoes (which were spicy!). Overall the food was okay- there was ample hollandaise sauce to go around but it lacked flavor. The atmosphere left something to be desired, however, we had a very friendly server and the price was right.

    Absolutely livid walking out of Brunch Snob right now. My husband, myself, and my 4yo and 6yo kid walked in and put our names on the wait list with a 20 min quote. Keeping an eye on our place in the wait, we finally saw a table open up. The family that checked in right before us had been seated and I knew we were next. The hostess grabbed the menus, walked right past us and sat the family that came in after us. When I asked him why we weren't seated, he said that the family he just sat was ahead of us. Forty minutes of observing our place in line... please do not lie to us. I have kids crying because they are hungry, an AC in the restaurant that just wasn't keeping up with this heat... we left because although we may have been next on the list, this experience left a terrible taste in my mouth. Do better. Be prepared for the weekend brunch rush.

    The Monte Cristo with hash browns
    Mike M.

    By far the best Monte Cristo I've ever had. I used to think Chompie's was the best, but this one is so much tastier than the one Chompie's makes. The extra fried batter on the outside is a little overdone, but you can crunch it off onto your plate. At the same time, they have the worst hash browns I've ever had. Not soft, not crunchy. They're almost uncooked like the compost pile of potato peeling. BUT, there are other potato options that looked better. Lots of other great looking dishes to try here. Just skip the hash browns.

    The food was great and so was the service.the vibe was great too. (Depends on Your company mines was great)

    BYO omelette with spicy potatoes and sourdough
    Teena M.

    The food was delicious as always. The portion size is so huge. You definitely can share but because there are so many choices it's hard to order just one meal. The cinnamon rolls are huge but very very sweet. The coffee is just regular diner coffee nothing to write home about. But their mimosa flight was delicious. The service was good but not friendly. She was efficient and patient but just didn't give friendly vibes. The place is super cute and was very clean. The bathrooms were clean which is very important to me.

    Love, love, LOVE this place! The egg white delight wrap was delicious and the fruit was super fresh. Ransom, the host, Absolute legend. Made us feel instantly welcome. Our waitress was just as great--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The vibe is cozy and lively (a little loud, but in a fun, bustling way). Clearly a popular spot--and for good reason. If I wasn't just passing through I would definitely come back.

    I overall enjoyed my experience at Brunch Snob (Uptown location). It was a bit loud inside, so my friend and I chose to sit outside, which ended up being much more enjoyable and comfortable for conversation. One thing that was a bit of a bummer was the waitlist process. I joined the waitlist on Yelp and wasn't aware that I still needed to check in once I arrived. On top of that, the Yelp queue and the restaurant's actual queue seemed inconsistent, and the "busy time" listed on Yelp wasn't accurate. The wait ended up being longer than expected. That part was a little frustrating. That said, once we were seated, things moved quickly. Food and drinks came out fast, and the service was solid . Our server was attentive and checked in on us regularly. I really enjoyed their coffee, and the portion sizes are decent. I also think the food is fairly priced for what you get. I ordered the Hillsbery Scramble and subbed sausage for bacon, and it was so good. Definitely comforting, hearty brunch food done right. I would return to this location.

    Spicy chicken and waffles
    Leah C.

    First off the atmosphere of this place is so cute! I love all the deco. The menu had so many great choices. I chose the spicy chicken and waffles. It was very tastey although it could of had a little more spice. The service was also great. Our server was very nice. We sat right away and got our food fast as well. Definitely recommend and will be back

    Tito's Lemon Drop
    Jordan J.

    Came in, music was loud but not too bad. The room had a lot of chatter and convos. Sounded like people enjoying their time. We were immediately greeted by a gentleman names Ransom. Big smile and good energy. They asked us if we wanted inside, outside, or first available... We picked first available. We got sat outside, order drinks, then our food... After about 30-45 minutes... We started burning up and decided to ask if we moved in. They didn't make it seem like it was a hassle, they were very accommodating and helpful. Special shout out to Ransom and Reec. Ps- sorry I forgot to take a picture at the beginning of the meal... We were hungry.

    MotherClucker
    Sarah G.

    One of my favorite breakfast dishes is the Mother Clucker from Brunch Snob. It's such a savory dish and I love how the gravy and waffle taste together. The chicken thigh is always so crispy and flavorful. I never get tired of ordering this meal when I visit brunch snob. The decor is cute and each time I have went , the customer service has been superb!

    Marquita L.

    From the hostess to the waitress brunch snob was such a pleasant experience. One downside to Phoenix/Scottsdale food scene is the hyper fixation on aesthetics & not really on food quality. Well this wasn't the case for brunch snob. Great food, great drinks & very professional staff.

    Liquid pancakes made me laugh
    Sarah S.

    I found brunch snob because I needed a spot that allowed dogs. I love the name of Brunch Snob and as soon as I saw the menu and all of the selections I was sold! There was short wait when we arrived despite seeing many tables but the guy inside said he would be right out and when he finally came out he said he hadn't forgotten about us. The patio is right in front and basically the restaurant is in a strip mall so if you are looking out you are seeing the parking lot, luckily the music was really good so that made me happy. My dog was really hot when we arrived and after we finally sat down and were waited on, I asked if she had a bowl of water for the dog, and she said yes, but what would you like? Ok, I want a Bellini -- after at least 5 or more minutes (it felt really long while my dog was panting up a storm) she finally brought a bowl out for him with water -- and put it on the table... ok she didn't want to bend over, that's fine... While we were waiting to order we saw them come out with a cinnamon roll the size of someone's head. We had to get that for sure -- originally my mom was going to get the "big ass" cinnamon roll French toast but we decided to split the actual cinnamon roll and she would get avocado toast. I got the "build your own omelet" with pepper jack, avocado and salsa with hash browns and sourdough toast. Mine was good -- no complaints, nothing amazing but good. My mom's "toast" however was not as advertised "Thick-cut 12 grain TOAST" -- first of all it was a piece of bread, maybe sourdough -- untoasted -- it was not 12 grain and therefore could it be considered avocado toast? We waited to report it to the waitress and finally after my mom had basically eaten the avocado because she was so hungry and they weren't anywhere to be seen --finally when we got her attention and showed her the soggy slice of bread she apologized but my mom was already done -- there was no offer to remove it from the bill. It is really too bad because this place is super cute, and I really wanted to like it, and it was actually quite expensive, IMO.

    I'm always a sucker for a good brunch spot. We came here after a day of hiking. The service was great. We got seated right away. The ambience was casual and chill. There were quite a bit of things to choose on the menu and it does not look like it disappointed. Overall, I will be back.

    My sister and our niece were visiting me from out of state. While visiting they wanted a pool day…read more Even though I have a pool at my complex I wanted to enjoy myself with them, so I searched for the perfect spot to allow us to have fun together. Lylo Swim Club was always top of mind but I still searched to see if there was an option closer to where I live in North East Phoenix. Ultimately Lylo Swim Club was what I chose and I am very glad that I did. The fan mister gave us great comfort and the pool was the perfect temperature for us all. The popular Dole Whip drink did not disappoint we all three ordered one. Also the food was delicious and our server Miguel provided us with stellar service! I highly recommend that you book a pool side lounge or daybed for your next gathering.

    Lylo has some awesome vibes, but it's an overpriced pool bar. If you want the tropical, pool-side…read morevibes, those prices might be worth it to you. Just keep an eye on how much you're spending! There's a lot of spots for improvement here, but I'd also say that Lylo is one of the few businesses I've ever seen do such a visually-great escape out from their pool area. If you're here for the escape and temper your expectations for food or drink, I think you'd have a good time. There are a TON of mosquitos here, so prepare accordingly. The bar and hotel lobby didn't have bug spray nor any for sale. The nearby liquor store does have some for sale at less than a block's walk. (The pool is hot mid Phoenix summer. The pool itself felt closer to a hot tub than a refreshingly cold pool. I'm told this is normal for pools in Arizona in the summer.) PROS: -All of the drinks are really pretty, visually, and with the pool, you have a great mecca for social media photos. -Despite the ridiculous 110+ Phoenix heat, we were relatively comfortable in the shaded restaurant area with the misters. We could still see the pool, but we weren't baking alive. -Pool bathrooms were clean enough. There were lots of puddles and toilet paper on the ground, but nothing was horrific or moldy like some pool bathrooms can be. Spacious stalls for changing too - though I didn't see any shower or changing areas. -The pool area itself is pretty! It makes for gorgeous Instagram photos, and Lylo knows that. There are lots of little spots (a camp sign, a chair off on its own, all the loungers, etc.) that make cute photo backdrops in addition to the pool itself. -There is a collection of inflatable pool toys in the corner that seem to be open for guest use. CONS: -Water bottles are not allowed at all - not even sealed disposable plastic ones from the grocery store. They'll store them for you, and you can fetch your own water with disposable plastic cups while you're here. -The misters in the pool area were broken. With the heat, we chose not to actually use the pool, and instead stayed in the restaurant, shaded area with misters. -All of the on-menu drinks are pretty sweet and not super boozy (at their price points). It's easy to go through quite a few at their higher price. Make sure that you're spending intentionally. -We weren't in love with the food we ordered. It felt like frozen food reheated and served to us. To be fair, that's about to be expected from a pool bar, but it was still something to note at the prices and with nearby restaurants walkable. -Service is there. I wouldn't say it was friendly or welcoming, but the servers checked in often in-between talking to people in swimsuits or joking with friends. I rarely waited for anything, but I didn't feel like a valued guest. -The fabric of the chaise loungers and lounge beds are stained. I saw some employees hauling off some of them and shoving them into the back of a fabric cleaning van, so I'd assume they rotate in and out and have to deal with a ton of spilled drinks.

    LeDu Thai has been one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Phoenix since trying the Roosevelt Row…read morelocation last year. I hadn't tried this location on 7th until just recently, when I came by during happy hour with some friends. There is a spacious parking lot tucked away in the back, opposite of the street view side. This is also where the entrance is! Walk toward the breezeway and it's to your right. Immediately, we were greeted by our host and the warm/inviting atmosphere. I'm impressed by how well decorated both LeDu locations are, in unique ways. We got the fried tofu, passion fizz, lychee martini, jungle bird, and my usual pad thai with beef and beansprouts on the side. Passion Fizz: passion fruit, demerera, sparkling wine - sweet, light, refreshing Lychee martini: vodka, lychee, dry vermouth, lime - sweet, strong, lychee flavor is perfect and not overpowering Jungle Bird: spiced rum, campari, pineapple, lime - sweet, deep flavor from the rum Fried tofu: a little dry even with the sauce, a small portion for the price, not my favorite Pad thai: tangy/sweet, packed with flavor, always delicious from LeDu! Definitely down for another happy hour or meal here anytime!

I arrived a bit before 6 to find it closed, no sign on the door and nothing online stating it had closed. So we headed downtown to the second location. I arrived about 6:10 pm and was asked if I had a reservation. I explained that we went to the other location only to find it closed and when we called the only number on the website to make a reservation (earlier in the day), no one answered the phone. We called multiple times. The guy at the door informed us the other location had closed and he couldn't seat us until 8 pm unless we wanted to sit at the bar. I asked to speak with a manager and was told there was no manager there. A restaurant should always have a manager or someone on site empowered to address customer concerns. We agreed to sit at the bar. First we ordered cocktails for $17 each. While they were tasty and refreshing, they had virtually no alcohol. I ordered the Kra Pow and, on the server's recommendation, chose the pork belly. My friend ordered the Pad Ki-Mao with pork belly. After waiting 30-45 minutes for the food, it finally arrived. Mine was dry pieces of pork belly, dry rice, an egg and three cucumber slices, no sauce whatsoever. When I asked for sauce, I was offered soy sauce and hot chili. My friend's noodles were tasty, but she also thought her pork belly was dry. The server, who was also the host and bartender didn't check in on us a single time during our meal. Between the outdated website, unanswered phone, lack of management and service, long wait and underwhelming food and drinks, the entire experience was extremely disappointing. I expected much more from this place.

GOOD! inspired by taco bell's baja blast hahahah). they TREATED us to all three of their current desserts on the menu. it was the most pleasant surprise i could've imagined. my favorite was the flourless chocolate cake! it was like a thick, rich brownie, had passion fruit cream to "lighten it up" and a caramel-like taffy on the bottom my brother and sister-in-law both said their favorite was the gulab jamun (which is basically like little fried dough balls/donuts, influenced by indian flavors and spices). the mille-feuille was also fantastic - the pastry was light and airy, cream wasn't too sweet and also very light, shaved cheese on top made it have a savory bite, and the jam alongside it was strawberry rhubarb. service is always amazing, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; it seems like everybody working here truly enjoys it. quite literally already have a reservation booked at valentine and will be coming back here beforehand. update: came back for more drinks (fernet & coke, spaghett western, negroni) and their lamb flauta. all AMAZING! and amazing order to whet the appetite before dinner at valentine.

I absolutely love the atmosphere and it's not high energy. Very relaxed which is great for me. The food was good. We got the basil pesto ice cream and omg. Divine. The pesto ice cream honestly was lije pistachio ice cream. It worked amazing and so refreshing. Underneath was a lemon ice thing that was exquisite and very palate refreshing. It tasted tart and like lemons. Not crunch. Soft ice. One thing though. The drinks weren't bad price. Average for tha area. The only thing is the bar tender made all of our drinks very strong. Most people think that's a good thing but honestly all I could taste was booze. I ordered a whisky sprite (7and7 spoof) and wow I could only taste whiskey. Every sip was booze booze and more booze. For the cocktails I wasn't able to taste any of the ingredients since it was so strong on the alcohol. Definitely moneys worth I guess lol. The bartender though was very nice and knowledgeable about all the drinks. Could explain all the drinks and the different types of alcohol. Not bad. Definitely would come back. Super cute for date night or a small gathering night out since space wise isn't huge.

    What a fantastic place. 4 of us arrived on a Saturday…read morearound 2-3 pm and it was packed I don't believe we had a reservation and we still sat down quickly. They have outside seating with a ton of misters. I believe that you can stay cool but if you're worried about frizz and your hair, I wouldn't do it lol They have a happy hour until 5 pm EVERY DAY!!! And PLENTY of options which is much appreciated. We all enjoyed our drinks, pretty to the eye and going down the hatch haha (espresso martini not on happy hour-see menu) We didn't get food but damn their ribs smelt so good, I have to come back for that. Plus, you can still order ice cream and I think that's so amazing and they look like they have so many delicious flavors. I want to try that as well. Service was awesome and friendly. Our waitress came back around before the happy hour ended to get any last-minute orders and that was really appreciated. You don't get that often or ever. I love the feel of the bar. It has a classic fuel makes you feel outside of Arizona. You can definitely go on a date, catch up with friends, or enjoy the bar to yourself. This is on my radar to come back as soon as possible Cheers

    Wow, this is THE place to go for brunch and drinks! $6 cocktails AND $6 pitchers of beer?! That's…read moreunheard of! Coming from LA, I was blown away by the prices. Such an insane deal! The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.

    I first came across Don Woods' Say When reading a Yelp article listing out the best rooftops in…read moreeach state. Don Woods was Arizona's pick. For quite a few months, I had it on my list to visit. I finally made things happen on a Wednesday evening for a drink. Located on the roof (of course) of a boutique hotel, I find free parking in the hotel's parking lot. While it was a busy parking lot, I was able to find a spot. Unfortunately, my night consisted of a comedy of errors. Ambiance (3/5): When you think best rooftop in the state, you're thinking scenic and peaceful views. Don Woods' certainly has that, though I've seen better in Phoenix. You can see the mountains in the background, but that's about it. The hotel is located on a busy street, where you'll often hear the noise of cars buzzing by or the train choo-chooing. Did I just make up a word?! I imagine the best time to stop by is during sunset. The outdoor area is relatively narrow with seating for about 20-30 people. It's a mix of comfortable seats and tables/chairs. There's also a charming indoor area, where the bar is located, but I felt like I had to sit outside. The weather was perfect, too. Service (2.5/5): This is where the comedy of errors began. I was given a menu and some water and was left to peruse the menu. Before the waitress had returned, I had picked out an appetizer and a cocktail. I then discovered that their cook had quit the other week and as a result, no food was available. That's fine and all, but you've gotta give me a heads-up when giving me the menu. That way, I wouldn't have spent the time to look over the food menu and get my heart set on a particular dish. On a better note, they have free WiFi. And service was overall friendly and pretty efficient. Food (N/A): While I was unable to order some food, on most nights, they have a small menu of small plates. More of a snack type of spot then a full meal type of establishment. Drinks (3/5): Don Woods is know for its cocktails and they have a list of 10 or so craft cocktails. Plus, beer, wine, and the typical options that you would find when there's a full bar. I feel like the bartender messed up the proportions on my cocktail as it was a bit rough. One drink and I was out. It seems like Don Woods' is experiencing some turnover which is leading to some mishaps. Combine that with some high expectations given the accolades they won, and it was the recipe for a disaster. I love a good rooftop bar, so I was hoping for more at Don Woods' Say When. Even the lobby of the hotel was experiencing issues. They sell popsicles in the lobby but the guy temporarily manning the front desk didn't know how to get their Square device working. Which ended up meaning no appetizers for me at Don Woods and no popsicles from the lobby. Two strikes. We live to fight another day.

    At the Say When Rooftop Bar, we enjoy the complementary cocktail. Not sure what it was but it was…read moredelicious with passion fruit and vodka. The service was not so good. Our food ended up at another table and vice versa. When we got the Mini Pizzas, they were very tasty and a great little snack between lunch and dinner.
