Might come back just for the sweet potato fries. *I did find out today that they use seed oils for their food.

It seemed like a local favorite lunch spot for people working in the nearby offices. The ambiance was super fun, and I loved all the quirky decor. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and the chicken club sandwich with a few substitutions. Our server was really accommodating with my dietary preferences, and the sandwich was generously portioned. Overall, definitely one of my favorite lunch spots in the South Tempe area. Just be prepared for a wait if you're coming during peak lunch hours!

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

Came with some friends for dinner, one of them hadn't been before so we were glad to introduce her to this gem. This night we started with an order of the mozzarella sticks, which was a first and so glad we tried them because I want them every time we come now! Four sticks to an order along with a small bowl of their wonderful marinara sauce. They were lightly breaded and fried to perfection and when you bit into one, you got that mozzarella pull! We decided to try the pizza salad this time around and so glad we did because it was truly delicious. Comes with an oregano vinaigrette and of course I also asked for a side of ranch (theirs is really good) and I love the combo of dressings! Again, another favorite discovered! This time we decided on the Meat-Za flat bread and it was amazing! It is made with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, Italian seasoning all on top of their most wonderful flat bread pizza crust. Really, really good! Friends got the BBQ Chicken flat bread as well as a half Elote and half Meat-Za and she loved it. The BBQ chicken was good as well so will get that one next time! The Elote we experienced previously and it is so good!!! It was busy this evening we were there but food took no time to get to us and service was what you expect! You order at the counter, are given a number and food is delivered to you at your table. This is truly one of our favorites in the rotation now...

I tried the lunch special on the wall: green chili pork soup and the MEAT-ZA flatbread with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, and Italian seasoning. So good and perfect for a casual lunch. Great drinks, good food, and friendly service. Definitely a solid Tempe hangout.

This is a table-service restaurant where you can order either at the counter or via QR code menu at your table. We chose the QR code option for the interactive experience. The menu offered straightforward selections with an impressive range of sauce pairings to complement each protein choice. My lady selected the brisket accompanied by okra and Mac-n-cheese. I went with the 2 Meat Combo featuring Ribs and Pulled Chicken, served with a Cornbread Muffin and two distinct sauces (AZ Heat & Carolina Gold). The brisket and ribs truly stood out as our favorite proteins, especially when paired with the Gouda Mac bites, okra, cornbread muffin, and green chili corn. The flavors were absolutely exceptional--we couldn't get enough. These items alone would bring us back repeatedly. The pulled chicken and Mac-n-cheese were delicious but didn't quite match the excellence of the other dishes. The tarts were outstanding--a perfect meal finale featuring house-baked pastries topped with complementary ingredients that elevated the dessert experience. The ambiance felt genuinely welcoming, with the owners present to take orders and serve guests personally. They have a few TV in the area that had sports on as well for entertainment. Self-service beverages were convenient while they prepared and delivered our food. My partner and I both concluded that "THIS IS OUR BBQ SPOT IN CHANDLER...PERIOD!" We highly recommend visiting this restaurant. Support Word of Mouth Grill and Pitmaster Demetrious along with his wife Jacque--you won't regret it. We're looking forward to our next visit!

Brisket is always fatty but the piece we got was nearly half inedible due to the fat. Mac and cheese looked like it was a day old and has just been sitting given the look and temp of it. It definitely did not look as fresh nor cheesy as the other pics from other reviews. Took one bite and that was more than enough. Again, love to support small business but for nearly $30 for one plate of food the value is not there.

We got the Chicken Tinga Nachos as an appetizer and it was a perfect amount for the 4 of us. I got a burger and it was pretty delish. One thing I will say is their sweet potato fries definitely do not taste fresh, I'd guess they are frozen/sysco but what else do ya expect nowadays? We got the s'mores pizookie for dessert and I really enjoyed it. It's baked to order so it takes a little bit but I thought it was worth it. And if that's not your thing, Menchies is right next door and always a treat. Tons of games and such and they even had trivia on the TV. Just a really great neighbourhood spot!

It's a Texas BBQ counter service restaurant and the employee that took my order was friendly and polite. I ordered two spicy chopped brisket sandwiches. My food was ready a few minutes later. I help myself to the condiment bar where I grabbed some pickles, onion and pickled jalapeños to go for my sandwiches. Americana decor covered the walls providing a relaxing atmosphere. Great place to watch sports with many TVs throughout the restaurant. The chop brisket sandwiches were delicious and juicy. Looking forward to returning for breakfast tacos and trying the turkey. Highly recommended! Pro tip #1: Spicy Chop Brisket sandwiches are 2 for 1 on Tuesdays. Pro tip #2: Breakfast tacos provide a value option for early risers.

This is the worst cobbler I've ever had! 3/4 of it is nothing but crappy crust. There's very little peach in it. This is 1/2 of the quart I got that came in the Styrofoam cup in the picture for $19. After looking at the receipt again I was irritated by the insane cost of the worst ribs ever. $63 for a rack of babyback ribs is the highest in town. Most places get $32 to $38 a rack. I admit that I made the mistake of going here, but never again! My efforts to try their smoked prime rib was a worthless journey. I call about 10 times looking for medium rare prime rib, and they never had it. They didn't have it the day they told me they did. I asked for a pound and a half of prime rib, and I got 3/4 that was only slightly pink in the very center. It was cold and had no aju, and no juice whatsoever in the meat! There wasn't even much smoke flavor at all. Worst prime rib ever! There's much better BBQ around for much less money!

We used to come here pretty often, and even though we moved farther away and hadn't been in a…read morewhile, we were really looking forward to coming back. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment. We arrived about an hour before closing and sat down as we normally do. While I was walking to the restroom, which is located past the kitchen area, I heard a server/bartender we've seen several times before ask the cook, in an obviously annoyed tone, if two people had just arrived. When he said yes, she responded, "Who the fuck!?" The cook then looked directly at me. At that point, I honestly felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to leave. We decided to stay since my boyfriend had already ordered a beer, but the experience immediately felt different. We felt like our presence was an inconvenience simply because we came in an hour before closing. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for it. We ordered the beef skewers and a burger. The skewers were okay, but they were not nearly as good as we remembered them being. The burger, however, arrived completely cold. What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.
