    Regular Cheesesteak with provolone and Jalapeño's.
    Brennan R.

    Whatta solid joint! Been back to Forefathers a few times and that statement should speak for itself. Quality and consistent with friendly staff. Now for the food, I have always ordered a regular cheesesteak, which is a very respectable size, that is to say, I do not leave hungry. I ordered mine with jalapeños on it (Pro tip: Only order with jalapeños on it if you love spicy food like me, can be a bit overbearing for softer palates. Can also just get them on the side from their mini fridge). The fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, (another pro tip, get yourself a few of their fry sauces from their mini fridge, goes great with the cheesesteak too!) The stand out aspect for me, beyond the solid food, is the ambiance. A very nice, modern interior that is always clean, just check out those bathroom pics! Overall, go back to your ancestral roots, cause ForeFathers is calling, a call you should definitely answer.

    OMG! I love Philly cheesesteaks, and now that I have discovered this place, it has my heart! As pictured, I got my cheesesteak with provolone, but will never do this again...The real way to go is CHEESE WHIZ! I've heard it's the original way to eat a true Philly cheesesteak, but the idea grossed me out. Until, I tried my husband's order. Trust me, get the cheese whiz. The fries are delectable and so is their fry sauce! An added perk is if you order your cheesesteak with fries, they give you a fountain drink. The employees were friendly as well. If you are a cheesesteak lover like me, you have to try Forefathers!!

    Overall rating: 4.5/5 Wait: 4.5/5 Arrival time: Saturday 7:30pm Food: 4.5/5 Order: Chicken cheese steak w/ fry sauce, mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions Service: n/a Price: 4/5 Worth it, would come back I ordered the Chicken Cheese Steak with mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions, and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the combination of melted mozzarella, jalapeno peppers, and onions added a nice kick to the sandwich. The portion size was generous, and the ingredients were fresh. The pricing at Forefathers Cheese Steak was reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the food. While it may not be the cheapest option in town, the taste and experience made it worth the price. Overall, I had a positive experience at Forefathers Cheese Steak Chandler. The wait time was minimal, the food was delicious, and the prices were fair. I would definitely consider coming back in the future to try their other offerings. If you're a fan of cheese steaks with a twist, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

    Philly cheese with steak

    I want to start this by saying I am not the biggest fan of Philly cheese steaks, but was willing to try. I ordered for pick up from their website. It was very easy to use and clearly broke down my order to check before paying. When I arrived, the staff was friendly and greeted me. It was about 12.45pm and there were not too many people inside. I was directed by the cashier to pick up my order at the end of the counter. I had ordered about an hour earlier than my pick-up time, and it seemed like they had just made it. I ordered the regular sized Philly cheese with steak and then added provolone, mushrooms, green peppers, grilled onion, and a drizzle of cheese whiz. I am not sure exactly what the cheese whiz was, but my friend recommended it. The taste was overall pretty good! It was hot when I picked it up, and the ingredients seemed fresh. I understand that prices for everything have gone up, but I still felt hungry after eating the regular sized sandwich. I wish it was a little larger for the $13 price. I was debating between the mini and regular sizes when ordering. The mini size would definitely be for a snack to hold you over between meals. I would recommend Forefathers to anyone who likes Philly cheese steaks. They offer friendly and quick service that can be convenient to those working nearby.

    Cheesesteak with the paper wrap removed.  Soggy bread/sponge.

    I've been craving a cheesesteak sandwich for a while and Forefathers is right down the road from my work. Perfect. My co-worker loves this place, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I placed my order online and it was a pretty straight forward process. I ordered a regular size cheesesteak with my favorite vegetables, extra meat and a side of fries. After checking out, the website stated that I could pick up my order at 12pm. I arrived 5 minutes early and they were frying up some fresh fries for my order while I filled my drink. The place was clean and moderately busy for lunchtime rush. I was out the door with my order at 12PM on the dot. Nice! I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the cheesesteak. I ordered it with Jalapeno Cilantro Ranch. I knew they added it because it completely saturated the paper they wrapped the cheesesteak in. Once I removed the paper, it didn't look like any of that Jalapeno Cilantro Ranch made it into the cheesesteak at all. I certainly didn't taste it. Oh well... The bread was very soggy and not much fun to hold and eat. The cheesesteak was hot and tasted decent in spite of not having any of the sauce in it. Now, for the fries... This is totally a personal preference, but if you are like me and hate battered fries with a passion, you'll want to skip the fries at Forefathers. More often than not, if a place has, what I consider to be bad fries, I'll more than likely not return unless the main items they sell are stellar and worth purchasing solo. Unfortunately, I really can't say that with this experience. So, it's a toss up as to whether I'll go back.

    Yummy

    We drove all the way from Apache Junction. Let me preface it with the fact that Phillys aren't my favorite but my husband had a hankering! It was delicious. You were able to out as much "stuff" on as you wanted. Good enough my hubby bought one for tomorrow!

    What an amazing place! I've eaten at the one on Priest and I've been in love with their cheesesteaks ever since they opened and I decided to try this location because I happened to be close and I was not disappointed at all. Anybody who wants a good meal needs to stop and give these guys a chance. Absolutely amazing on every level.

Green Corner- It's Tucked away in a strip mall in Chandler, this Mediterranean restaurant is all it's hyped up to be. Customer service was excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The dining area was clean and well maintained, with spotless tables and restrooms, which always makes a great first impression. We ordered two chicken shawarma plates: one with fries and hummus, and the other with salad and rice. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the fries were crisp and well-spiced, and the hummus was smooth and delicious. We also tried the C1 combo Arabic style, which came with half chicken, half beef, and two sides. Both proteins were excellent, and the garlic sauce was a standout--we absolutely loved it. We couldn't help but notice many other customers enjoying salads, all of which looked fresh and generously topped with crisp vegetables. Portion sizes across the board were very good, leaving us satisfied with some to go. Overall, the food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back and can't wait to try more from the menu.

The kofta was great as well but would definitely come back more for their shawarmas but it's definitely the best bang for your buck I also got some baba ganoush on the side to dip my fries in but unfortunately, I thought the baba ganoush was too lemony/there was too much sumac added so it wasn't as enjoyable. Most baba ganoush I've tasted in my hometown also had a smokey flavor to it from the eggplant so it really couldn't compare.

This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot

    NOT WHAT YOU THINK…read more The Spitz moniker is derived from the rotating BBQ spit, middle-eastern style rotisserie used to slow cook their meats. The name of this restaurant isn't very becoming. But you will be coming regularly once you try this place. Mediterranean food has worked it's way as a staple across the country because of the use of numerous spices, it has an undeniable bold flavor that has become a favorite of the American diet. Here is no exception and lives up to the Mediterranean flavor profile expectations with an Americanized twist on the ingredients. I ordered on the app and found it quite user friendly, which encourages me to get food here more often with the ease of use and simple interface. You have to ability to add or omit ingredients from the menu items which makes for a very satisfying customized meal (and only have yourself to blame if it is a displeasing combination) BERLINER WRAP- meat and veg all in a flatbread wrap. There's a lot of ingredients packed in this thang, so for me, I had to use extra sauce to dip and coat it all in flavor. The problem with these wraps though, is that the paper it wrapped in was getting stuck to the bread and would have to constantly peel it off that thang and it was a mess, unless you just don't mind eating the paper for some extra fiber. MEDI BOWL- The bowl was felt healthy and hearty; an all-around good dish. The crunchy garbanzo beans were a nice element to contrast against the other textures in the bowl. Again, i liked it with more sauce, but that's just me. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and I want to try the other menu items in the future.

It didn't take very long for our orders to be prepared. It was promptly delivered to our table. The first thing I noticed was the lack of meat in my Berliner. It didn't come close to the amount of meat I saw in several photos on Yelp. After I bit into my wrap, all I could taste were the vegetables. It took a few bites before I tasted just a hint of meat. This was very disappointing. I was meat hungry and I wanted something healthy with a good portion of meat. I wasn't getting it here. A total letdown! The first thing my wife commented on her Street Car donor was how dry it was. Where was the sauce? She had to ask for tzatziki sauce. I took a bite of hers and at least she had more meat than I had. She told me I could have her other half. She was impressed to say the least! Did we come on an off day? Was there someone new in the back? I suggest they weigh out the meat each and every time to keep it consistent. It was not the experience we were expecting! Did anyone experience something similar?

I only remembered to take one picture after I drained it in A1, which is my preference. But there's a picture. The staff were Uber friendly. Overall, we would definitely return. I only had one complaint. Do not get ice water. It was the most disgusting water I've ever tasted. I ended up asking for a bottle of water because I couldn't even sip the water after I even drowned it in lemon. They need to do something about that. It's gross.
