    For God's sake order the Brussel Sprouts! It's more like a crispy salad and boy it's amazing! We ordered the Cajun Chicken Pasta and the Short Rib Papardelle. Both were so good but we barely ate half! Sarah is one of the best servers I've had in Arizona. Thanks for the incredible service! Someone give her a raise before she's stolen! The place is quaint and I even heard Sinatra! We will be back!

    There is service, and then there is hospitality. Service is taking an order, delivering a drink, clearing a plate and doing everything expected of you. Hospitality is noticing. Last night at Humble Oysters & Bubbles was one of those rare reminders of what genuine hospitality actually looks like. Humble Bistro and Humble Oysters are close to our home, so we visit both fairly often. We decided on dinner last minute and originally walked into Humble Bistro because my wife loves their Caesar salad with the crispy Brussels sprouts. And admittedly, it really is that good. There was about an hour wait, so we walked next door to Humble Oysters instead. My wife ordered a salad there, but barely touched it. Chef Jorge, who I have seen countless times walking through the restaurants, talking with guests and checking on tables, noticed. That part matters. We didn't complain. We didn't ask for anything. He simply noticed. He came over and asked if everything was okay. We laughed and explained that she had really wanted the Caesar from next door, but we didn't want to wait an hour for a table. Five minutes later, Chef Jorge walked over to the bar carrying that Caesar salad from Humble Bistro. No request. No production. He just did it. And somehow, that wasn't even the first example of hospitality that evening. Earlier, I ordered a glass of wine they had unfortunately run out of. Instead of the bartender returning empty-handed and asking me to pick something else, she came over with another bottle and offered me a taste. I ultimately decided I wanted a cocktail instead. Her response? She poured me half a glass of the wine anyway and essentially said, "Sip on this while I make your cocktail." Such a small gesture. Yet somehow those are the ones you remember. Then, to finish the evening, owner Tim stopped by. What could have been the obligatory owner "How was everything?" turned into a genuine 15-minute conversation. And that's when everything made sense. Hospitality like this doesn't happen accidentally. When it radiates from the owner, to the chef, to the bartender, to the rest of the staff, you're seeing culture. Restaurants spend enormous amounts of time trying to teach hospitality. But the best hospitality rarely feels taught. It feels instinctive. It's noticing the untouched salad. It's bringing something from the restaurant next door without being asked. It's pouring someone a little wine while they wait for their cocktail. It's an owner taking 15 minutes to genuinely talk with the people sitting at his bar. Food gives you a reason to visit a restaurant. Hospitality gives you a reason to return. Last night reminded me just how powerful the difference can be.

    Humble Bistro was one of my go-to places on the high street. Listen, the food is still pretty good, but with the summer heat on the rise and the server comes by with a glass of DISGUSTING WATER with the SMELL TO MATCH!!! Of course, they want you to purchase a $5.00 bottle of Saratoga water. Please, for the love of everything, get a FILTRATION system in that place. The way that water smells, I'm sure it's not good for you to drink. Just get the FILTRATION SYSTEM!

    Winter 2026, Caprese salad... so fresh, DELISH :)
    Kathleen K.

    We came here for some lunch & everything turned out delicious! Thankfully they weren't too busy because it's not a large restaurant. The feel of the restaurant is like a cafe that also offered some outdoor dining. We started off with the Caprese Salad which was delicious with just the right amount of pesto. Then we also had the buffalo wings that were cooked perfectly with the right amount of kick. We then finished off with the stone fired pizza with fresh Italian sausage, basil, leeks & ricotta cheese...OMG was it amazing! We had zero complaints from the service down to the food, everything was delish! Only complaint that I can think of is they don't take reservations therefore going for dinner could be a toss up with getting a table!

    I can't get enough of Humble Bistro!!!! Honestly, absolutely everything is to die for. It's such a cute classic bistro with such good food and drinks. My menu favorite is the bistro caprese salad, this would be my death row last meal that's how obsessed I am. The short rib grilled cheese is a banger, it's soooooo good. The boards with a ton of goodies are such a great appetizer. I haven't ever had anything I do not like here. I wish we had one in Sacramento Ca. Whenever I am in AZ I basically come for lunch and dinner it's that good! I've tried all the thingssss you won't regret coming here.

    Short rib pasta
    Devin K.

    I'm actually pretty disappointed. I've been here a few times once for dine-in and a few times for take-out. The first time I got the short rib pasta it was to die for- creamy, tender, flavorful and everything was well balanced. The last few times the pasta was just eh, this most recent time the short rib wasn't even broken apart and it felt like the dish was just thrown together. Not sure if management or chefs have changed but it's not the same as it was a few years ago. Humble fries are really good topped with parmesan and chili flakes but aren't spicy. They come with some fun sauces too. Like a sweet sauce, ranch, and an aïoli. These have been consistently good every time! Location is really nice since it's in the Desert Ridge area and it's a nicer casual restaurant. Inside is smaller but there is a small seating area outside that either has fans in the summer or heater in the winter. Great place for a date night or a night out with the gals!

    All the food we ordered was delicious! We polished every plate. Only thing not pictured is the crispy Brussels sprouts which we demolished in seconds. Service was great and they took good care of us. The ambiance was nice and quaint. A little loud but not bad at all. Recommend. (My friends have gone 4 more times since I took them)

    Really enjoyed a number of factors about this place. Our server was incredible. We had some characters in our group and she kept them laughing and in check. Food and drinks were top notch with one of the best salads I've had. Only ding for me was a dirty table when they sat us down and the cushions were absolutely filthy.

    I'm not going to be humble with this one: Humble Bistro is an excellent restaurant. I've visited twice: once was my second meal upon moving to Phoenix and the other was most recently on a Thursday evening for dinner. Located on High Street in Desert Ridge, you'll be able to find free parking in the various lots surrounding this district or the garage. Since I'm within walking distance, I've been on foot both times I've visited. Ambiance (4.5/5): Humble Bistro is a good looking restaurant. It achieves a nice balance of being trendy and nice while still feeling homey and comfortable. I sat at a half booth upon my most recent visit. There's also a small patio. It's a relatively small restaurant and was packed almost to the brim on a Thursday evening. It can get a little loud, but not overly burdensome. And the lights are dimmed down a bit which creates a nice ambiance. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress did a fantastic job taking care of us. She was friendly (a smile goes a long way), attentive, and efficient. Which is all you hope for, especially when a restaurant is busy while you're dining there. I was trying to decide between three options, and she gave me her recommendation. And she was on target with it. Drinks (N/A): I had an Arnold Palmer, so not much to write home about. With that being said, they have a full bar, including a wine list and cocktails. Food (4.5/5): I had the chicken parm which is served with linguine. This is a classic Italian dish that I've had countless times over the years. And this was the best one I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was fried just right. The breading, tomato sauce, and mozzarella sauce were perfect. It's a relatively simple dish, but Humble Bistro somehow does things better than anywhere I've tried. And it was a filling portion too. While the menu is Italian-centric, there are new American options too. It's an interesting menu with a lot of appetizing choices. For the quality of the food you're getting, Humble Bistro is moderately priced. Which makes it a big winner in my book. There are a lot of good dining options on High Street, Humble Bistro might just be my favorite.

    Humble BK Sandwich

    Oh my goodness where do I start!! Went for brunch and did not leave behind one thing. The wings are some of the best I have ever had. The meat literally falls right off the bone. The sauces are amazing. The Caesar Salad has shaved Brussels sprouts and Parmesan and is also one of the best if not the best Caesar salad I have ever had. It's very seldom that we finish an entire salad at a restaurant and I swear I could've licked the plate clean. Seriously so delicious. If you go to Humble, order the Caesar. The French toast was also phenomenal and the Rosé sangria was strong and not too sweet. Do not sleep on this place. The staff, the food, the ambiance is 10/10!!!!

    Chicken Enchiladas
    Desiree F.

    Grabbed a quick bite in between sips of wine during the Wilcox Wine Festival. Enjoyed some green chili chicken enchiladas and they hit the spot. I couldn't tell you how many I got since they were buried in lettuce. But they were tasty! The bar service was great and my food was out fairly quick.

    Creme Brulee
    Raquel A.

    From the variety of seating options to the chandeliers to the copper ceiling, I really enjoyed the aesthetic of Humble Bistro. It gave me vibes of NYC, but I was told it was designed as a French Bistro. Whichever it was, it works! We were greeted as soon as we entered, and seated immediately as it wasn't too busy. (We usually eat early when we go out to avoid the crowds.) Our server, Alexis, was awesome! She was witty and charming, and chatted easily with every table. She's exactly the type of server every restaurant should have. We ordered the Forno Bread, Humble's answer to garlic bread - house made sourdough with garlic, cheese and olive oil, plus a kick of heat with calabrian flakes. Great flavor and plenty to share. The menu had so many delicious looking options. I decided on the Pasta Rosa and Meatballs - pappardelle pasta with 3 meatballs, whipped ricotta and fresh basil. Now I can be a bit picky about meatballs, but these were excellent. Pasta was perfectly cooked and the only thing I might have liked was a little more ricotta. (I'm a big fan of ricotta.) The portion size was perfect. So often it's a huge bowl of pasta and 2 measly meatballs, but this was an even ratio of pasta to meatballs and yet I still had enough to take home for tomorrow's lunch. Hubby had the Forno Short Rib, which is a 12hr braised short rib over Humble Fries. He loved it! The short rib was fork tender, and practically melted in my mouth (yes, I tried a little), and the fries are well cooked and full of flavor. Combined with the short rib - a flavor explosion! We also split a creme brulee for dessert. Delicious and a nice size for one, but as we were bordering on full from our meal, it was a perfect sharing size for us. We know we'll be back!

    Cremini Sacchetti
    Carter K.

    Humble bistro is located on High St in Desert Ridge which is a really cool street with restaurants, bars, and shops. This is such a great location to grab dinner and drinks with some of friends which is what brought us here! The server was very friendly and helped walk us through the menu and explained each dish to us. Ultimately, we knew we wanted to try the pastas which sounded amazing to us. The Cremini Sacchetti was our favorite! I loved the truffle taste in the brown butter sauce, the truffles weren't overpowering and complimented the pasta perfectly. We also loved the Short Rib which was braised for 12 hours and falling apart. I would love to go back and try the bruschetta dishes that they are known for!

After looking over the menu, we started off with Francesco's frittura to share. This dish tasted fine, nothing outstanding. For our main entrees we ordered the brown butter seared scallops with sweet corn risotto and the shrimp fradiavolo. Both of these entrees were outstanding in their own respect. The risotto was subtly sweet and not heavy or rich. Additionally, the scallops were nicely seasoned and not overcooked. The shrimp fradiavolo was mildly spicy and the spaghetti was perfectly al dente. Since we always have room for dessert, we ordered the tiramisu to share. It was nice and fluffy, and not too sweet, which we prefer. Overall, service was friendly, patient, and attentive. The ambiance was comfortable and intimate with lots of indoor seating and some outdoor patio seating. I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan on coming here.

Their happy hour concludes at six pm, but in true fashion our flight got delayed. Their hh menu is valid outside and in the bar seating area. We nonetheless pushed our resy back and arrived around 6:40pm. This restaurant has a very cute vibe and I loved the mural near the bar in traditional concrete. The decor and accent walls were all fun, and I really liked the main area. The staff was super attentive and the bartender serving us on Friday, August 28th was the best. Welcoming, informative, and kept it real with us. My partner and I landed on the pappardelle short rib pasta and toto sapore pizza. The pizza was one of my fave pizzas I've had in quite some time. The mixture of meats including sausage, soppressata, and salame parme was perfect with the right amount of spice. The pasta was al dente which was greatly appreciated and it was a lovely meal all around. This spot is worth checking out if you're in the area and wanting a great dinner in a calmer vibe (with some bomb music).

I always go for the Roasted Salmon as it's a perfect balance of colors and taste. There were mixed in cauliflower and a bit of broccolini. I would definitely love to have more broccolini though. I ordered this as part of the summer menu which it comes with a choice of their daily soup (which was a creamy chicken soup on a Saturday), Sicilian meatballs, Cacio e Pepe, Simple Salad or Charcuterie plate.
