    The hostess
    Shirley L.

    I'm 6 months pregnant, and my needs may be different from yours, so this review is strictly based on my experience. My husband and I found this place online, and it looked like a great spot for brunch. When we arrived, there was no one at the hostess stand, and it took quite a while for anyone to acknowledge us. When the hostess finally came over, we asked for a table for two. She immediately told us there was only outdoor seating available and didn't even mention that waiting for an indoor table was an option. Keep in mind, it was 110°F on a Sunday in Arizona. My husband had really been looking forward to trying this place, so we asked what was available and decided to stay. We were seated outside near the entrance. Shortly afterward, we watched the hostess tell other guests who arrived after us that indoor seating was available with only a 5-minute wait. Why wasn't that option offered to us? We absolutely would have waited. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude and the way the situation was handled completely changed the experience for us. It left us feeling unwelcome, and we weren't able to enjoy our meal the way we had hoped. The food may have been fine, but customer service is a huge part of dining out, and this experience overshadowed everything else. Safe to say, we won't be returning. An unfriendly and dismissive environment is not something I'm interested in supporting.

    Avo toast

    Over Easy in Tempe is a breakfast dream! The protein bowl, avocado toast, biscuits & gravy, French toast, and corned beef hash are all insanely delicious and top-quality. Huge shout out to Jaeden (AKA Mike) for impeccable, friendly service--he made the experience even better. Breakfast done right! #fullofourselves

    Southwest Skillet
    Joe R.

    Went here on ASU vs. U of A gameday, coupled with an already limited parking situation, so it was absolutely packed, but the line moved quickly and the wait staff was impressively efficient. I've been to several Over Easy locations, and to their credit, the service food, cleanliness, and feel of the establishments are always consistent. For my meal I tried the Southwest Skillet, which I hadn't had before. It was good overall and the portions were very generous, though it leaned a bit heavy on the potatoes and could've used more chorizo and beans in my opinion. All in all, still a satisfying experience. Over Easy is one of my personally trusted go-to brunch spots that I'd recommend to visitors.

    Man, this place was GOOD. My partner and I came here planning to have a relaxed brunch, and it ended up being one of those spots where you accidentally stay for hours because the atmosphere is just that enjoyable. We were drinking mimosas, eating, talking, and taking our time, and I really appreciated that we never once felt rushed to leave or pressured to keep ordering. A lot of places start making you feel awkward if you stay too long, but the service here stayed friendly and attentive the entire time we were there. The mimosas were honestly one of my favorite parts because they had so many different fresh juice flavors to choose from instead of just the typical orange juice. It made the experience feel way more fun and customizable, and you could actually taste how fresh the juices were. Every mimosa we tried was refreshing and super easy to drink. The food was also really good and paired perfectly with the drinks. Everything tasted fresh and well-made, and it all came out quickly even though the place was busy. I also loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating because it gives the place such a nice vibe depending on what kind of experience you want. We spent a good amount of time just relaxing, enjoying the weather, and hanging out, and it honestly made for such a nice date spot. Overall, this place has a really welcoming atmosphere, great service, delicious food and drinks, and the kind of environment that makes you want to stay awhile. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to for another long brunch.

    This place was good. I really loved the bright yellow, brunch-y ambiance inside. There is seating outdoors for when the weather is nicer. My friends and I came here for brunch, and didn't have a reservation (they don't take them). You can get on a list on their website though. It was busy when we arrived around 1120a on a Sunday. The parking situation was very rough. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that they will validate your parking, but you have to park in the Piedmont garage. When you arrive, you can tell the hostess your license plate number and you're good to go. Seth was our waiter and was very friendly and helpful! I ordered the protein bowl with scrambled eggs. It was pretty good, but I might try something else next time. If you live nearby/within walking distance, I would recommend this place, but if you have to park, perhaps consider something else.

    Protein bowl with vegan sausage - delicious!
    Vivian H.

    This place would have gotten 5 stars but man the parking is a bit annoying. Don't park in the Novis lot because they won't validate the ticket for you. You have to park in the Piedmont lot, which is connected to the restaurant and park on the 2nd floor. Don't scan the QR code, when you get to the hostess, give her your plate number and you're validated. Just with the parking situation, I might not come back. But, I will say, the food, service, ambiance and company today was eggcellent!! I got a protein bowl just like my friends but I had the sunny side up eggs and waiter helped me to substitute the regular sausage for vegan sausage. My bowl was delicious with lots of veggies and I had enough for a second portion. I also had an over easy iced coffee and that was wonderful too. I had the condensed milk creamer on the side so that way I control the sweet level in my drink. I don't like super sugary drinks. The place is super bright inside and waiter Seth was spot on! By 11am today, the place was packed, so make sure to get on the waitlist on their website so you don't have to wait too long. They don't take reservations. And also seems the Yelp waitlist function disappeared in the app, but you can get on the waitlist via their website. Overall, a great brunch experience but be prepared for a little parking chaos when you come to this location.

    We were lucky to sit outside on a beautiful day, but very cute inside.

    Hands down best breakfast during our Spring Training week in Tempe/Phoenix! Because it was Sunday morning, we used their super handy "join waitlist" option from the website and were seated right away. I shared a lemon ricotta pancake with the table--so good! Loved my breakfast rolled tacos with pork carnitas. The rest of the family had no complaints with their basil melt, southwest omelette, avocado toast, and protein bowl. Along with the cool vibe, service was also excellent!

    Eggs benedict
    Carly W.

    Cute brunch spot nestled near the ASU campus. We swung by on a Sunday afternoon around the lunch hour and were seated within 10 minutes after we arrived. They did offer the option to be added to waitlist via open table online in advance. There isn't a lot of street parking available, so make sure to park in the nearby garage. Prices were fair and service was speedy. I loved the eggs benedict and was appreciated be of all the different potato sides to choose from. This place is clean and well maintained.

    Avocado Smash , Country Potatoes
    Julie L.

    Had breakfast at Over Easy and it was fantastic! I ordered the Avocado Smash, and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the unique presentation--it made a great dish even more memorable. Aiden was our waiter, and he provided quick, friendly, and attentive service from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a wonderful breakfast experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Nice location but beware you will need to pay for parking. Ordered an omelet and the wife ordered an egg fruitata. Service was amazing and it came out in 10 minutes. Would recommend this location.

    Stopped in for breakfast before heading to the airport and glad we did! Great vibe loved the outdoor seating and the ability to sit inside well also sitting outside! Our waitress was sage, and she was amazing! Definitely coming back.

    I got brunch here with two friends and overall had a great experience! We all got the protein bowl which was nicely loaded with veggies and was very filling and tasty. Our sever Seth did a great job taking care of us. The inside is very brightly colored and I like the crossword mural. There's also a nice patio. The only issue is that the parking situation is a bit confusing. You have to park at the piedmont garage and then tell the hostess your license plate number as their way of validating parking.

    The kitchen.
    Richard H.

    This is almost as painful to write as it was to experience. Our experience had the biggest disconnect between pricing, reputation, and vibe I have ever experienced. (The pre-tax & tip was $127 for four adults and one 5-year old. The flow was atrocious. We were seated by a seater that was on their first day... who forgot (?) to assign our table to a server. We waited until the table seated after us received their meal to be met by our server. The server was monosyllabic, disconnected, and inattentive to our order, which had three daily large errors upon final arrival of our food. The food was brought by a runner and they had no idea what we ordered and we had to sort out who had what. Our server never returned until they presented the check. I will save you the pain of our dining. As for the food, it was good if the sign said Waffle House, but barely adequate for the price/made from scratch advertised. My burrito was dry, listless and the tortilla was gummy. The only meal greeted with excitement was the chocolate chip pancakes our 5-year old granddaughter ate, which she loved, and to our surprise she ate the entire plate! The flow of service was awful, the staff was disinterested (except the floor manager that came to ask how we were doing (sadly it was before the food arrived) and seemed genuinely interested. We were seated at 9:26am, server arrived at 9:47, and we left at 11:32am, and that was with zero dawdling as we waited, ate and left as quickly as the device would allow. This is my first F- I have given and I do it with a heavy heart, but after discussing it with my companions, I feel comfortable with this review. I cannot recommend this, and I I am not living in Arizona will not be able to return to see if that is usual or a one-off. But, given the price, and promises, I say give it a hard pass and try a local "greasy spoon" instead.

There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people.

Next time I'll try a burger since people like them a lot in reviews, and I love a good burger. This visit we had the carne asada cheesesteak with some onion rings and boneless wings. Both items were good. I think for me, 4 stars seems right since there's an element of having to order at the bar and then come back up if anything is needed. Making it feel somewhat self service but I'm sure we tipped like full service. And at first we were trying to figure out the menu, where to order, and apparently we had a learning curve that night. Brains were tired. We sat outside with the misters at night. That was totally fine. It wasn't one of the nasty hot days.

From the moment we arrived, the restaurant had such great vibes. There was also a subtle, almost secretive animal theme throughout the space that added a really cool touch. The hostess and waitstaff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The drinks were good, but the food was definitely the star. The milk bread was absolutely delicious, and the pibil dumplings were also really good. My only complaint is that they only came with three pieces, which felt a little expensive for the portion. The beef tartare was another standout. It was delicious on its own and paired really well with the banana chip, which added a nice contrast in texture and flavor. I would probably skip the white oak grilled skewers, though. They were pretty burnt, and unfortunately, they didn't really stand out to me compared to the other dishes. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection. We asked if they could prepare the two halves of the ribeye at different temperatures since my wife prefers her steak closer to medium, and they were more than happy to accommodate us. They even comped our milk bread because it took a little longer than expected to come out, which was a really nice gesture. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and some really memorable dishes. Definitely recommend checking this steakhouse out if you're in the Phoenix area!

They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

    After reading the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they weren't met. This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.

    This would be my first time to this place as for my husband he had been here a handful of times…read more We came for dinner and wasn't sure if we would be able to get seating without a long wait, but we were in luck. We choose to sit indoors. The restaurant is very cozy with dimmed lighting to add to the evening ambiance. It has a casual feel but you can dress up or down. Some people were casual and some more dressed up. We were seated at the front by the stage where live music was about to start. I thought this would be nice since I do enjoy live music. Well the speakers were facing right at our table and it was noticeably loud when the entertainer began to play. We asked for another table. We could not hear ourselves talking. I ordered a cocktail, The Giddy Up Espresso Martini. That was very delicious! They do have a full bar, it's nice to have choices as far as alcoholic beverages. Our food, Fish & Chips, BBQ Nachos, Aged Manchego, Crusty Bread Garlic Oil & Balsamic, and Molinari Sopressata. Everything was absolutely delicious! The fries with the Fish were perfect. My favorite besides the Martini. was the Crusty Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic. Our server was the best! Amiriya made sure our drinks stayed filled and asked us what we thought about the food. Even on this busy night. After our meal we walked around the outside seating and game area. This place is a fun place to meet with others especially with the outdoor/patio game area. I would love to come back when in AZ.. But, I don't have to wait until then because we have a CD restaurant in the San Diego area! Woohoo! I can't wait to try some other dishes and have another Espresso Martini. I probably would pay for a shot of Bailey's added to the drink. Restaurant parking is busy but they do have additional parking just across the way. It happened to be busy because we were up against Valentine's Day weekend.

We arrived around 8pm on a Monday night and were happy they were open and seemed to have quite a few full tables. We were seated promptly at a very comfortable table. Our server took our drink orders right away and was very helpful in answering our questions regarding the menu. I ordered the most delicious shrimp Louie for my meal. My husband ordered the club sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed. Our son ordered a pasta dish which he loved. Even though we don't live in the Tempe area, we would definitely dine at Culinary Dropout the next time we are in the area!

The shrimp ceviche was bright, fresh, and balanced with acidity, sweetness, heat, and crunch. The brussel sprouts were grilled and flavored to perfection! My Gold Rush cocktail, exquisite! My servers, on both visits, were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive! Like I said, everything, perfection! Restaurant is located on the 1st floor inside the Omni hotel. I absolutely love the restaurant layout and decor. It's very chic and modern! They also have happy hour from 3-5pm! Give them a try! They're spectacular!

    Our experience at Neighborhood Services Bar + Restaurant, located beneath the Omni Hotel in Tempe,…read morewas unfortunately not a particularly memorable meal. While I can certainly understand the convenience for hotel guests, I would recommend managing expectations if you are visiting specifically for the dining experience. We started with the Chili Chilies, which I was especially excited to try because it's a personal favorite. Unfortunately, the eggs arrived burnt rather than over-easy, sitting on what we could only describe as Mexican masa--almost like an attempt at corn chips. Next came the Hash, but unfortunately, it also seemed to have spent far too long under the heating lamp. By that point, I decided the safest choice for my breakfast experience was simply going to be the poached eggs. I do want to be fair and say that every restaurant can have an off morning, and perhaps this was simply ours. However, between the food being overcooked or seemingly held under the heat lamp too long, the meal just didn't leave the impression we had hoped for. One other thing worth knowing if you're visiting: parking is a challenge. The nearby garages appeared to be reserved for valet parking, leaving us to park about a block away to avoid any possibility of being towed. Overall, I'd probably keep this one primarily on the radar for Omni hotel guests looking for convenience, rather than making it a destination breakfast. Hopefully, our experience was an exception, because the concept certainly has potential.
