    This has been on my "want to go" list for years now. I was always drawn by their greenhouse like restaurant and garden interior. The menu is health forward; I wish I could cook meals like this on a regular basis. But for now I'll keep heading to Flower Child for their perfectly sautéed veggies and creamy mac and cheese. You can't pass on the mac and cheese! I saw a lot of families here. A great place for everyone.

    I've been a few times and have loved it every time. Today I got poke bowl which was honestly so Yummy and so good with a lot of flavor. Would definitely get it again!

    Back again. Peruvian Braised Beef (double meat portion) - delicious, again. Tried the smashed potatoes for the first time - soooo smooth and yummy! And you know I had to get my lemon muffin and strawberry muffin for desert - still moist, still delicious! The guy bringing out all the meals was the absolute best. So sweet and joyful. Made the experience even better! I'll be back!

    Wow! This is one of my favorite entrees I've had here! The "Forbidden rice" bowl at $11.95 delivered in flavor and in quantity! I'm not vegetarian or vegan but I would gladly order this bowl again! A colorful mix of seasoned snap pea, bok choy, broccoli, carrot, onion, toasted sesame, red chili hoisin on a mix of black pearl and red japonica rice. I'm drawn to the combination of vegetables especially on the red Japonica rice. This nutty flavored, pale pink, medium grain rice (also know as Bhutanese Red Rice) has a slight chewy texture which I love. This dish tasted fresh was perfectly cooked and served hot at our table. Service was good and we timed it right by arriving at 11:40 before the lunch crowd came and filled all the seats. To end the meal we each purchased their chocolate chip cashew cookie. I buy this every visit and it is still awesome when baked fresh that day!

    This was not the first time I have been to Flower Child. It's one of those places that I'll go if somebody else wants to, but I'll never choose it myself. I know my opinion is probably unpopular because it seems like everybody loves Flower Child, but it's not really my cup of tea. I fully understand, though, that that's just me. I do have some weird food issues. I will say this place is so bright and airy and just lovely. I love the paned windows that look out onto the patio, the very high ceilings, and the brown rattan lighting fixtures. Even though the space is quite large, it's extremely inviting. That said, it's a great place for something healthy. I feel like you can't go wrong with any of the choices if you're trying to eat well. My friends lunch looked much better than what I had. I had the Flying Avocado Wrap, and I didn't love it. In fact I didn't finish even half of it - - I took it home and my son ate it. I think it's the bread I don't like, and anyone who knows me knows I can be really picky. Will I come back? Probably. When I have lunch with somebody else who wants to come here, I won't have a problem with it. I would really like to try the forbidden Rice that my friend had. But I'm not likely to ever swing by here on my own.

    You can never go wrong with Flower Child! The food is always yummy and service is great! My go to is always the salmon entree with mashed potatoes and a vegetable of some sort. This last visit I ordered broccoli and it was SOOOOOO GOOD. It was flavorful and had a nice crisp to it. The employee who brought us our food was very cheerful and nice.

    My go to is always the steak, mac and cheese, and veggies! You can never go wrong with this combination! The steak is always cooked perfectly, flavorful, and its always juicy. The mac and cheese is heaven sent and veggies are always crisp. Service is great. There is typically a line out the door but it definitely worth the wait!

    Misty E.

    Management reached out to me about my concerns regarding my recent visit. I really appreciated the email and the lack of excuses for what I encountered at the store. She was listened and hopefully there will be more staff training on customer service and food safety. We gave it another chance, but not the same store, and had a much better experience.

    If you're looking for a healthy-ish spot that still feels fun and social, Flower Child is a great addition to the rotation. The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

    Great restaurant for a healthy clean boujee meal. I love making my own steak bowl with broccoli and corn and quinoa. It's definitely a little pricier but so good when you're craving it.

    Flower child is a vibe! If you're looking for a healthier option, this place is just it! Quality ingredients. It does get crowded so plan accordingly. Service was great, they were attentive with seating us when it was crowded

    Burnt carrots
    Kristin B.

    I ordered a steak plate with carrots and grilled asparagus. I was given burnt black carrots that were completely inedible. I don't know where the grilled asparagus was either. I can't believe an employee thought that it was acceptable to serve this. Completely unacceptable.

    I was looking for a new lunch spot to try and catch up with a friend and Flower Child did not disappoint! The restaurant is very pretty and aesthetic looking, perfect for a girls lunch (my favorite!). Not only was it pretty, but the food was delicious! I was craving something fresh and lemony so I decided to try their black bean falafel wrap- not something I would typically get but it has now become one of my favorite wraps! I usually crave a meat source of protein but the black bean falafel was perfect! The service was great, the line was a bit long but the cashiers kept it moving quickly! I had a few questions and the young girl who took my order was very nice and helpful. Once we sat down, the waiter brought out our food and came back a few other times to make sure we weren't missing anything or if we needed anything. We decided to sit outside since the inside was pretty full. They have great misters that kept us cool for the long time we were there in the middle of the summer day. I'll definitely be back here :)

    Does the GF notation make it a safe option for those w celiac?

    Hi Pat! Our GF symbol would be safe however we ask you always inform your server of an allergy as we take extra precaution in the kitchen with all allergies!

    Is the Mother Earth bowl at Flower Child spicy hot?

    Hi! We do include a red pepper miso sauce on the sweet potatoes that has some kick to it. You could always remove the since or get it on the side to omit the spice.

We were immediately greeted by smiling hostesses and quickly shown to our table. Our server, Zachary, was exceptional. Attentive without hovering, warm without feeling rehearsed, and seemingly everywhere at once. Over the 90 minutes we were there, I don't think he stopped moving. Whether helping guests, clearing dishes, resetting tables, or simply making sure everyone was taken care of, he did it all with the same smile and genuine courtesy. What impressed me most was that the hospitality wasn't limited to our server. One of the hostesses stopped by our table just to see how we were enjoying ourselves and stayed for a little conversation. It's a small gesture, but those are the moments that turn dinner at a restaurant into something memorable. Add a guitarist performing in the background, a warm, relaxed setting, and an upbeat energy throughout the room, and Cork & Craft manages to feel polished without ever feeling pretentious. And then there's the food. I had the Cajun Chicken Risotto, which was absolutely delicious...rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down because you don't want it to disappear too quickly. We somehow found room for dessert afterward, with several tempting options to choose from. Great food can bring you into a restaurant once. Genuine hospitality makes you want to come back. Cork & Craft delivered both. Highly recommend Cork & Craft on S. Gilbert Road in Chandler. We'll definitely be back.

It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time.

New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

    I'm from California and was in Arizona for a training when a few of the girls and I decided to stop…read moreby Culinary Dropout for lunch. Overall, it was a great experience. I ordered the Asian salad, and it was absolutely delicious. It was packed with flavor, fresh, and the portion size was just right. The restaurant itself is huge, with plenty of seating and a spacious, comfortable atmosphere. The service was great as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. My only real criticism is that the menu felt a bit limited, especially for vegetarians. There weren't many vegetarian options available, which could make it difficult for some people to find something that appeals to them. That said, the food was great, the service was excellent, the pricing was fair, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would definitely return the next time I'm in Arizona.

    We went here on Sunday to celebrate our daughter's birthday - 4 different families. It was the…read morelast game of the World Cup, so quite a few people here. My son had ordered food from here as takeout last year. The food taste was interesting, though, I really like the cheese dip for the pretzel bites. The bites were pretty big. Lots of tables at this location, a bit warm. But our party of 14 was easily accommodated. Our daughter chose this place and it was quite loud. My husband and I are quiet people, so if we were to choose again, probably not here because of the loudness and all the TVs all over the place. But for those who like it loud, TVs and do not mind the prices on the menu, have at it. I don't remember our server's name. If she told us, I couldn't hear what she said. She was alright. Honestly, I had a hard time hearing even my son who sat next to me, and hearing my sister who sat one seat over in front of me, I couldn't hear what she was saying. Loudness is an issue for me and I do not have hearing issues. Our bill with tip came to over $700+. That was the most expensive lunch we've ever spent for our party of 14. Typically we're in the $400-500 range. But it was a special occasion. My husband and son got the 36 hr ribs. My husband really loved them. My son said it was okay. I didn't ask my brother and BIL who also got the same dish. I know my BIL was unhappy that he didn't get the side he requested and when they gave it to him (asparagus, I think), it was cold and he wasn't pleased about this. I got the hub burger and it was okay. There was a lot on the burger, but the patty itself, didn't have that much flavor. Some of the "Starters" or appetizers things were salted too much, but the burger did not taste like it had any salt. I had eaten too many starters so when my food came, I wasn't very hungry and took most of it home and ate for dinner another night. My husband and son do not like coleslaw and I ate theirs. THIS I really liked and tasted much better than KFC. I loved the sweetness and that the cabbage was shredded bigger than KFC. The pretzel bites were good. We got wings, and they were so-so. The roasted brussel sprouts were too salty. The deviled eggs were okay, but pricey for 2.5 eggs, which I do pay at Trader Joe's for organic free range pasturized eggs I could've gotten over 2 dozens. But, yes, I pay for the service and ambiance. I really thought there would be more than 5 halves for the deviled eggs. We got the nachos and they were okay. The melted cheese sauce was the best part. My mom got the fish and chips and she seemed to pick at it. She didn't want to take home, so it must not have been that good because she almost always takes a doggy bag home. My sister had the salmon and it was in a huge bowl and didn't look to be that much food. It was pricey. One of my SILs got something I didn't recognize and she said it was okay. No one I could tell was over the moon with the taste of the food and I heard the word "interesting" quite a bit. It's not that it tasted bad, but it didn't really taste good good. You know what I mean? I did bring a special order cake I got at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Gilbert. I asked Culinary Dropout if we could borrow a cake cutter. They didn't have one. Weird. This was a Red Velvet cake and this was absolutely divine. It was moist. The frosting was some sort of yummy cream cheese frosting. The cake was perfectly sized for our party of 14. The cake was the best part of our meal and it didn't come from Culinary Dropout. I would pay this much for a meal at Roy's for lunch for this sized party, but alas, all the Roy's in the valley are closed down. So sad. I'm not saying this place is bad or the food tastes bad. It's okay and pricey. If the food was great or amazing, we don't mind pricey. We have paid over $1K for meals for our big party, and happily do so when the food is equivalent to the price.

    It was hard to make it here during my trip to Phoenix because of their limited hours, but I am SO…read moreglad I did. As a health food vegan, I am always on the lookout for food like this: whole foods/plant-based, including some oil-free options. Their whole menu reads like a list of my favorite food buzzwords: buckwheat, lentil cauliflower scramble, sunflower seed meat, local fermented sauerkraut, freshly milled Sonoran wheat; tempeh, sourdough, homemade seeded bread, homemade cashew milk, etc. etc. It was legitimately hard to decide what to get. I went with the baked(!) strawberry banana oat buckwheat pancakes. Super tasty, and a generous portion. I also couldn't resist an oil-free sunbutter cookie (with its wacky bluegreen tinge that was apparently from the sunflower seeds) and also loved the cold brew coffee with cashew milk.

It is a little pricey, however, it's worth the cost. As I mentioned, everything is healthy and made fresh. You can't get that without paying a bit extra Their bread is so good, the chutney is awesome, their little side salads are so tasty. I haven't tried anything here that I have not loved. They are a small husband and wife run business, which is always great to see. They are very friendly people who clearly love what they do. There's limited seating indoors, as it's inside Barnone, but you can easily find places to sit outdoors as well.
