    This place is super cute and the patio is dog friendly! The food was pretty good; I always enjoy their pasta, wraps, and warm bowls but this time we just shared appetizers. Portions were good as well. The drinks were alright but a bit boring- probably wouldn't order again. The server was friendly but we felt like she was rushing us to leave even though there were many open tables inside and outside. Will be coming back again though

    This is the Yelp payoff. Visiting the Phoenix area and looking for a nice little spot for dinner. What a fantastic find! Sorry if the menu photos are a bit repetitive - and the photo of what was left of the soup! There was just a fantastic assortment of tastes going on, I had to share. There was nothing to say about this place that was negative except that my stomach just won't accommodate all the tastes I wanted to try! The service was wonderful and the food was all so delicious and we tried all kinds of things from the Pear Mule to the Mushroom Brie Soup - oh so good! What a gem!

    What a find in the heart of Tempe! A friend invited me to lunch here on. Monday and wow, they were busy! Full parking lot! That was good sign. We shared a Berry Avocado Quinoa Bowl and a Perfectly Grilled Cheese. They even plated them separately for us! (2 plates with half a grilled cheese and French fries on each and 2 bowls with our Berry Avocado quinoa! So sweet and helpful!) Everything was very delicious--fries were seasoned and crispy! The grilled cheese and sweet and salty (they use their spiced pear bread, a delicious four cheese blend and bacon). Quinoa bowl was very hearty! The space was cozy and not too loud--my friend and I were able to catch up without having to raise out voices. Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of their menu!

    The butternut squash tacos were pretty good but to my surprise, the beans that came with it were out of this world amazing. I was shocked at how good the side of beans were that I couldn't stop eating them to take a picture! The Brussels sprouts though, were very disappointing. I couldn't finish them. They were overcooked and mushy the leaves were crispy which was nice but there wasn't even the most mild bite to the inside at all it was all leaves and mush. Not very appetizing to me. The service and ambiance were here was really nice and I'm sure I'll discover over things I like. I just wish I was dining in rather than takeout so that I could have exchanged the Brussels for something else. I ordered 3 and threw 2 1/2 in the trash.

    A perfect "final stop" before heading to the airport. We met up with extended family here before catching our flight back to St. Louis, and it was the ideal spot--close to the freeways and airport, but with enough local charm to feel like a real meal rather than a travel pit stop. The Logistics: * Timing is Everything: We arrived right at 11:00 AM and the dedicated parking lot was wide open. By the time we left at 12:45 PM, the place was packed and people were hunting for spots on the side streets. Get here early. * The Vibe & History: The building has a classic Southwest structure that felt familiar. My suspicion was right--this space used to be a Mexican restaurant, which explains the layout. It's got a great casual feel, though be warned: as the crowd swells, the volume rises. It got a bit loud for conversation by the end of our meal. * Pro-Tip (Happy Hour): I didn't realize it until I looked at the menu later, but their Happy Hour runs daily from 11 AM - 6 PM. If you are looking for a deal on drinks, this is a huge window. The Menu: The menu gives off "California" vibes--fresh, healthy, and creative--but with some unique twists. Since we visited during the holidays, I asked about their Fall Menu, and they had some great seasonal options rotating in. It's nice to see a place that actually changes things up based on the time of year. The Food: * Peanut Coconut Curry Quinoa Bowl (4.25/5): This was my wife's choice, and I had instant food envy. Served warm with a mild, nicely executed curry sauce and small morsels of chicken. The veggie blend was fresh and the portion was satisfying. * Harvest Sandwich (4/5): A vegetarian option that doesn't feel like a sacrifice. It's loaded with roasted peppers, avocado, hummus, and sprouts, but the real MVP is the grilled focaccia bread. It held everything together perfectly. * Side Note: I opted for the fries. They are the crispy, "batter-dipped" style. I didn't mean to eat them all, but they are impossible to resist. * Drinks: I stuck to an Arnold Palmer (4/5)--classic, refreshing, and hit the spot. The Service: Friendly and efficient. Our host appeared to be training a new hire, but it didn't slow anything down or impact the experience. Verdict: A solid 4-star spot for a healthy, flavorful lunch. Just try to beat the noon rush if you want to hear your tablemates clearly.

    Perfect Pear is a great option in Tempe. They have a huge menu-something for everyone. When I've gone in the part I've had their sandwiches or pasta which have always been solid. This time I tried one of their quinoa bowls and it did not disappoint. Service is always friendly and pretty quick and the restaurant has a cute inside space and nice sized patio. Parking is somewhat limited so be prepared that you might have to park on the street and walk a block.

    We got off of the plane from Fresno and I asked my son to find a good lunch place. He succeeded! Ambiance was great, service was on point and the food was awesome! It came out quickly and tasted as good as it looked.

    Love this spot! I always come for their La Lucy salad, though this time it wasn't as great. The salad was plated a bit sloppy, the grilled salmon portion was smaller than usual and tasted a little fishier than normal, and the fruit had a slightly fizzy taste. I only had a few bites but didn't make a big deal about it since this is a rare occasion where the dish missed the mark. Parking is so-so, though there is street parking available. It gets packed during the lunch hour, but you can make a reservation, which helps. The servers are great, as always. Just a heads-up, when the place is full, it gets very loud. If you're sensitive to noise, I'd recommend sitting outside or coming during an off hour at this particular location.

    We have been visiting the area for six plus years and PPB is a family favorite. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone. The restaurant has a unique appeal. Indoor seating is plentiful but we prefer the outdoor patio. It is pleasant. It's a hacienda hangout. The dishes are consistently tasty. The ingredients are fresh. The drink menu is extensive. On our most recent visit I opted for a mushroom soup and a quinoa bowl which I paired with a pear cider. Service has always been great. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    Curry bowl with Falafel
    Cheryl L.

    Cute healthy place located near ASU. Lots of healthy options including falafel as an option and fake chicken too! Service was good, lots of seating with a patio for outdoor seating as well. We went just before lunch so the seating was fast but noticed that there were alot of larger parties so it must've slowed the kitchen down because the wait for food was long. They have 1/2 and 1/2 options so you can try combos on their menu too. I did had salad and pasta. Would return again when in the area!

    Had an interview in Phoenix and the staff took me here for a nice lunch. Not only was the atmosphere amazing but the food is delicious. I love the variety of lemonades they had and our server was so nice and checked on us often. I will have to come back next time I'm in Phoenix. I saw a few items on the menu I want to try lol.

    French pantry sandwich
    Melissa K.

    All in all had a good experience. Plenty of outdoor seating and a cozy bistro vibe inside. I tried the broccoli cheddar soup and unfortunately needed to send it back but the waitress was super nice about it and took it off the bill. It just tasted off to me, like it wasn't fresh and was burned when reheated. But I had the French pantry sandwich which was delicious. The balsamic on it was slightly overwhelming the other flavors but it was a tasty sandwich with great bread. My boyfriend had the southwest Philly sandwich which was really good too. Sweet potato fries were also a hit with great seasoning and a wide crinkle cut style. Although our experience wasn't perfect, we still enjoyed our meals and appreciated the great service.

    Pasta
    Andrew L.

    Came an hour before closing and got a nice cider, salad, and pasta with a side of salmon. Service was great and the food was excellent. I'm a slow eater and unfortunately had to chug the cider and take some of the food to go because they were cleaning up and seemed ready to close exactly at 9pm, but everything was still pretty good when I ate it a couple days later.

    Patio is dog friendly?

    Yes! We had two dogs with us.

    Do I need a Rez for 2 tonight outdoors at 5 pm?

    Depends on the day. Make them to be safe and if you don't need them you need not worry. Their parking lot is very small. Free parking across the street.

    Can y'all plz turn on delivery on the delivery apps?

    Is this restaurant dog friendly?

They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all.

We came here for my brother's birthday and our server did a great job making him feel special. They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was. Our server did give me a heads up but I personally loved the heat. If you're not into spicy food though, it might be a bit much.

    Let's start with the food: 5/5. I got the breakfast bowl and it was hands down the best breakfast…read morebowl I've ever had. It had duck bacon (was curious about this bc I'm not a fan of duck), turkey sausage, black beans, quinoa, egg, spinach and more. Somehow that entire medley was perfection when it comes to flavor. Usually bowls can be dry with no sauce, but it was not lacking at all. Staff and service: 5/5 we brought our dog Tom who's a pretty big golden doodle and sometimes can get overly excited when he gets brought outside. But their staff was nice enough to give us a dog bowl with water for him and served his egg on a little to go box plate. It's a little stressful with Tom at times and they made it so much easier. Inside/outside set-up: 5/5. They have a gorgeous inside dining with bar situation. Interior design was super cute for a date and I loved the hanging lamps. Outside had a dog friendly patio and they had cute canopy booths. Overall, we went here on a whim and it's my new favorite spot.

We were welcomed with a friendly smile. We explained that the other half of our party was on their way & the host promptly prepared our table... mostly. There were small plates set for each of us, but only one roll-up/napkin (for 4) & no drink menu. Minor details, but it kinda set the tone for the service experience. Now listen... the spot itself is cute. Once we actually got service, our waiter was cool. It just took forevvverrrrr & I ended up having to request cutlery after food was served. To be fair, it was busy, but there also seemed to be plenty of wait staff, so I'm not exactly sure where the disconnect was. Food-wise: the spinach artichoke dip was definitely the table favorite. My caprese panini was ok, it was sadly lacking pesto which feels a little criminal for a caprese situation. Our friends loved the fancy French toast & I was absolutely there for the prickly pear mimosas The entire brunch honestly felt like it was one dropped plate away from becoming a sitcom episode. One poor new waiter dropped a plate on the floor, then later knocked glasses off the rack above the bar & shattered a couple right next to guests sitting there. I genuinely felt bad for him because you could tell he was having a rough shift. That said, I really appreciated that they acknowledged the long wait & gave us a discount without us having to ask. That kind of accountability goes a long way. Overall, I'd still go back & give them another try because the atmosphere was fun, the vibe was there, and I can see the potential. Every restaurant has an off day -- especially during a busy brunch rush.

Holy cow, it was a home run! The burger literally melted in my mouth, super juicy and packed with flavor--one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had. The angus-wagyu blend shines through, and the toppings took it to another level. The ordering process was super simple and modern--I loved the big touchscreen kiosks that made customizing easy and quick. No hassle at all. They have some unique soda flavors I've never tried before, which was a fun surprise and paired perfectly with the meal. Bonus points: the bathrooms were spotless and well-maintained, which always matters to me. This jumps straight to my #2 burger spot overall (Shake Shack is still king in my book, but The Melt is giving it a serious run for its money with that melty, juicy goodness). I'll definitely be back soon--highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Tempe. You won't regret it! 5 stars all the way.
