Steak side
Cindy C.

Located inside terminal 4. If you have time for a meal, Chelsea's kitchen is a solid option. Service was excellent and fast. We tried their kale and quinoa salad with steak. Dressing was delicious and steak tender. The chips with guacamole were perfect and satisfying. Portion was big as well. Highly recommend if you need a good meal at sky harbor airport.

Rotisserie Chicken double veggies, no mash. Surprisingly excellent!
Kevin S.

One of the better airport restaurants I've been too. A nice respite outside of the awful usual airport food options. I had the rotisserie chicken which was as good as any rotisserie at any restaurant I've had. The veggies were fresh and sautéed well with way too much garlic. My wife had the steak tacos which was an ample portion with a fatty stack of corn tortilla's, guac, pico and a fresh kale, quinoa and grape salad. Solid. I would 100% look for Chelsea kitchen again next time we come through Phoenix airport.

Menu

Stopped in for a quick bite before my flight. Got a soda, Caesar salad and added salmon as my protein. The whole thing was over $30! Captive audience, I suppose. Not enough servers, so had to wait to place my order and really never got my water refilled. Patience is a must. Food was decent and servers are friendly enough. This is one of the few places in the airport where you can sit down for a meal before heading thru security.

Branzino and surf and turf tacos!
Eric B.

Our last night in Phoenix was also our anniversary so we wanted good food and atmosphere. We had both at Chelsea's Kitchen. The service was amazing, and the chef even came to our table with dessert! Super nice folks there. The food was worth it also. My wife had the whole Branzino fish, and I took our servers suggestion on mixing giant shrimp with the steak tacos. Those were the best corn tortillas ever. Anyway, highly recommended!

Soup
Ashley L.

This place was confidently located from where I needed to be in the airport. I wasn't too hungry so I just got fries on one occasion which were $9 which was pretty crazy and another time I got soup which was over priced as well. Wasn't a fan of the soup but I guess I shouldn't have expected much. The avocado in The soup was good though but there was pretty much no chicken in it which was disappointing. Also got what were advertised as mimosas here with me girls and turns out the were small premixed drinks that were overpriced at $20 a piece. And our server was almost non existent. I'd suggest a different option for anyone thinking about it as a first. If you enjoy lots of people around (it IS an airport), then it's okay. Nice crowd.

I've been coming to Chelsea's Kitchen at the phoenix airport for 11 years... it's always been the only airport meal that's not just "fair" but delicious. When I landed this evening, I took the SkyTrain to terminal 4 just to eat here before going to my hotel. The ambiance is nice and the staff is exceptional. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but tonight the food wasn't as amazing as I remembered it to be. I had the short rib tacos, and granted I ate my whole plate and felt satisfied, I don't think they merited the description "award winning" like the menu says. Check out the picture- it doesn't really look like short ribs and the flavor was moderate. Sadly, they also don't have their amazing chocolate chip cookies with sea salt anymore. I still think this is the best airport restaurant I've been to, but perhaps not as exceptional as I once believed. I'll try again and see if this was a one off.

Steak tacos

This was a food gem right before TSA security that I can't wait to enjoy again! The restaurant was large with plenty of seating options. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and made sure I was taken care of and my food allergies were completely taken care of by the kitchen. To drink, I had the prickly pear margarita. This was addictively good! It was refreshing and well balanced. For my main meal I had the steak tacos. These were suggested by the bartender. I am allergic to onions and the kitchen and bartender made sure that my food didn't come in contact with onions and modified my dish not to include them without loosing flavor. Even though the steak tacos were cooked beautifully and seasoned just right, my favorite part of the dish was the kale slaw. It was so flavorful, complex, and just so delicious. For dessert I had to try the artisan gelato. I had pistachio which was so flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be going out of my way to eat here again.

Brussels sprout salad
Richard W.

Chic airport sit down joint with a variety menu and lots of space. They have a big bar and also a take out space for quick bites. Depending on the time of day, it could be very crowded, but we were seated promptly and it was pretty empty. Service was great, no issues. My brussel sprout salad was absolutely delicious even though the inner child in me couldn't help but go ewwwww brussel sprouts. My dad got the fish tacos. They were the build your own style plate and they looked delicious. We definitely recommend this place if you have some time to kill and want somewhat of a relaxing meal away from the hustle and bustle of the harbor in the sky.

Rotisserie chicken dinner
Preston Z.

The best airport meal I have ever had, and the service was real good too. I had the rotisserie chicken. Check out your picture.

Ethan's Vegetarian Taco platter: guacamole + pico de gallo + sauteed vegetables
Craig G.

Chelsea's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise at Sky Harbor. Landing a couple hours too early to check into my Airbnb and looking for a quick bite to eat, I hopped the air train to Terminal 4 (nothing in Terminal 3 outside of security) and found Chelsea's Kitchen. Offering up a pretty simple menu of American and vaguely Southwestern food, it seems to be a popular spot for travellers in the terminal. I sat down and did an order of Ethan's Vegetarian Tacos: three corn tortillas with guacamole, pico de gallo, kale slaw, and sauteed vegetables. The guac and pico were on point, and better than most I've found in my few trips to Phoenix. The vegetable mix was...perplexing: zucchini, red pepper, mushroom, grapes, and quinoa. Somehow, the flavours worked well together. It's about as pricey as any other sit down fare you'll find at Sky Harbor, but it made for a satisfying lunch

Cheeseburger and fries.
Donn O.

Oasis in the middle of the hustle bustle of the airport. This location does not disappoint. Modern decor, prompt service and the food was on point. We had two burgers and a chicken sandwich with a side of chips and guacamole. Price was little higher than most places but it was expected being at the airport. Burgers were juicy and tasty. Side Caesar was plain but the croutons tasted great.

We later found out the server changed the final amount to $82, which means she gave herself 42% tip, which is ridiculous.

***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY *** So we went to this place on 2025/03/31, the food was not bad, but I have to make a SERIOUS COMPLAINT to a server here!!! This server CHANGED THE TIP AMOUNT after we left! This server ADDED EXTRA $20 to the final amount. It's a really serious thing, there is no difference between changing the tip amount and stealing money from customer's wallet, it's basically crime... We tried to call the restaurant to resolve this issue, but the line was busy and nobody answered the phone, and the voice mail was full so we couldn't leave any message to the managers, which is even more unpleasant. Here I want to tell the business owner, the managers, and other customers that you folks need to be careful with this server's integrity and honesty, this is probably not the first time that she (or maybe someone else in the restaurant) did this secretly behind customers' back. This is really wrong behavior... ***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY ***

The burger with bacon cheese avocado on a sweet Hawaiian bread type sesame bun and fresh cut fries with catchup and ranch.

We recently visited First Watch in Phoenix and had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Arely,…read morewas attentive, friendly, and absolutely fabulous. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston…read more This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

The Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort has a beautiful setting with incredible mountain views, great…read morewalking areas, and a classic Arizona resort feel. The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
