    Non-Alcoholic beer

    Finally made it to Original Gravity a few weeks ago and loved it! I saw their menu ages ago and wanted to try the Bee's Knees sandwich and Mac Daddy mac & cheese. Great vibe inside. Service was great, I can't remember her name but she treated us well and made several recommendations for our table and they were all a smashing hit! If you love sweet and spicy chicken sandwiches, you absolutely must come here! The Mac Daddy was decent, but the Bee's Knees has me wanting to come back. On a scale of 1 to 10, best chicken sandwich I have ever tasted!

    Stopped by this super-cute gastropub with a friend for a bite to eat, and what a pleasant surprise. It's tucked away in The Strip at Highland and 12th St., and has that cozy feel that makes you want to linger. Had the polenta fries and the mac and cheese, and both were delicious. Capped it off with a slice of the key lime pie for dessert. Yum. Service was excellent. Christy (apologies if I'm misspelling her name) was so friendly and genuinely welcoming. Loved the overall decor. Beautiful photography on the walls, and the fact that the space is woman-owned is a big plus in my book. There's also a charming little patio out back. Plenty of parking right outside, which is always appreciated. Prices did feel a bit steep, but to be fair, that seems to be the norm everywhere these days, and it's hard to hold it against the business.

    Celebrated a birthday on Wednesday 9/17 after work during happy hour! Joined late after most of the party was already settled in, but we were seated at the large high table. Happy hour deals from an Instagram ad: Tuesday-Saturday from 3-6PM and all day Sunday for unbeatable deals: + $10 Polenta Fries, Egg Rolls & Roasted Garlic Hummus, $6 OG House Margaritas, Sangria & Well Cocktails, $1 Off All Local Drafts & Wine on Tap Ordered a margarita that was sweet but not strong, overall satisfying. I tried the polenta fries and roasted garlic hummus ordered for the table, and I was not impressed with either. Honestly, I didn't really like either. I've never had polenta fries before, but I later learned that they're made with cornmeal, which explains why they tasted like potato and flour. I found the toppings of pickled red onions and jalapenos to be strange. I usually enjoy most hummus, including roasted garlic hummus, but this one was too sour, as in too garlicky and lemony. At the end of the dinner, our server brought out a cheesecake for our beloved birthday girl! Not sure if this was complimentary for birthdays, as I wasn't the one who asked for it or potentially paid for it. Overall, incredibly mediocre food redeemed only by great happy hour drink deals and attentive/amazing service (and close proximity to my work).

    French 75

    Came with friends after work for a drink and some food. I got the mushroom po' boy and the French 75. The drink was very well mixed and got a nice buzz going for me to enjoy a deep fried mushroom and some sweet potato fries. I feel like since it was a po' boy it should've been on a french loaf, but the sandwhich was still good. The mushroom was super crunch but also super juicy on the inside. The bread was still good despite making this sandwhich a burger rather than a po' boy. I'm interested in coming again to see what their happy hour specials are.

    The Bee's Knees

    This place was super cute! We got happy hour drinks were $6 (margarita and sangria- which both were super tasty!) and the food is a good portion. My mom and I split The Bees Knees, which was a hot honey chicken sandwich paired with sweet potato fries. I can't wait to come back!!

    Carnitas Tacos (3)
    Tanisha H.

    What a great little space. My goodness. It's been here since 2017 I think is what the bartender said. A hidden gem I would say. Reasonable prices. Super nice staff. Super efficient. The pork belly was delicious but wasn't what I had in mind when I read pork belly. This was more like thick cut bacon and trust me, I'm not mad at this. Would recommend this to anyone! I got the carnitas tacos. They were a smidge dry but good. My friend got the soy salad & really enjoyed it. Would absolutely come back here.

    Carnitas with different hot sauces

    On our way back from Sedona to Phoenix for our flight back home, My husband asked for me to find a good burger with draft beers on tap for late lunch. After narrowing it down to 3, we ultimately chose Original Gravity. The place seems to have a good vibe. Probably better for late night with box table games and cards to keep busy while having a few. Our server was super nice and took our orders. I had the carnitas, my husband and daughter had the regular cheeseburgers with fries, and son had the large pretzel sticks. The burgers were huge. Neither of them could finish them. My son enjoyed the pretzels, and my carnitas were ok. Nothing over the top great. My husband thought the burgers were overly sauced and we're drippy/messy. I don't want to give a negative review. I just think things could have been better executed. Being that we were passing through to go to the airport, I don't think I would come back. If we happen to for some reason, I would try the other 2 places I bookmarked. In all honesty, we have only had 1 GREAT meal in Arizona over the 3 trips we have been here. Even in Sedona finding a tasty meal was hard. Everything is overdone and $$$. I guess next time we need to ask a local.

    Vegetarian Tacos
    Lucy B.

    We tried out Original Gravity for an early Friday night dinner and were surprised the restaurant wasn't packed! It's a spacious neighborhood joint with a small outdoor patio space and a large bar. We ordered the polenta fries to start and were pleasantly surprised. While the texture is a bit grainy, the seasoning and sauce add a punch of flavor. For mains, we ordered the vegetarian tacos and the Beef on Weck. The veggie tacos were on the smaller end but had a nice balance of flavor. The Beef on Weck was well seasoned and tasted great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, however, given the number of diners and size of the space she would have benefited from some help. We'd definitely check this place out again.

    Beef on Weck with fries
    J.P. W.

    Stopped into this place on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's not an overly large space but it's comfortable and clean and everything you'd expect in a pub with a scratch kitchen. When asked if we had reservations I was nervous (we didn't have reservations) but we found a place at the bar without an issue and there appeared to be one or two tables available. The folks working were very friendly, only caught the name of Mike or Michael behind the bar and he was very conversational and attentive while we sat at the bar. Great beer selection on tap. I had the two darker beers on tap and they were great. They have monitors with the beer selection that's tied into Untappd. The menu has a good variety. I opted for the Beef on Weck and talked to the bartender before ordering, since I'm originally from Upstate New York. The horseradish isn't as hot as you'd get in Buffalo, N.Y. but the roll was right where it was suppose to be and the entire dish was very good. The pork belly appetizer was also excellent. Highly recommended. I look forward to go back.

    Hot AF Burger
    Kathy M.

    I love a good scratch kitchen restaurant, but I wasn't impressed with Original Gravity. I came here with a group of 5. We shared a few appetizers and my bf and I split 2 burgers together. -Polenta Fries: It had a gritty texture on the inside. It tastes better with all the fixings like cotija cheese, jalapeños, and pickled red onions. But overall, I thought it was alright. -IPA Glazed Pork Belly: This sounded so unique but it was just pork belly smothered in a sweet sauce. It wasn't anything to write home about. -Hot AF Burger: This was a beef brisket patty with pork belly, onions, bleu cheese, and all the veggie fixings. It was supposed to be spicy but it didn't taste spicy at all. This was pretty good, but not amazing. -Mushroom Po'Boy: This was under seasoned. The fried portobello was okay. I feel like it could have tasted better if there was cheese or something. Very meh. -Fries: I tried both the sweet potato and regular fries. They were good! Our server was nice and attentive. Overall, I feel like we paid a lot for average food.

    Decent location. Nothing spectacular but because it wasn't super busy we were able to not feel rushed and visit with friends. Decor is fun but the lights kept dimming. Food was just fine, drinks were ok. Spent $100 for 2 people. All in all it wasn't horrible just expected a little more based on previous reviews and price point.

    Stopped in here after work to watch the Mercury game and the vibes were right. Started off with the White Sangria and it was so refreshing. Great drink to bring in the end of summer! Bartender was great and kept me hydrated. Left no crumbs on my Mac Daddy pasta.

The chopped salad was mediocre at best, nothing worth coming back for. The short ribs were overcooked, making it extremely dry. The blueberry pudding cake was incredibly dense and dry. The brownie was as hard as a rock, making it difficult to pick up a piece without breaking the plate while at it. Overall, my partner and I were quite disappointed with our meals. The only silver lining was that our server, Nicholas, was phenomenal!

No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out.
