I really enjoyed my outing at Phoenix City Grille. The ambiance was cool, I sat in the bar area and it didn't look very crowded/during the time that I went. My waitress, Kenzie was amazing, she has really great customer service skills. I ordered; Sparkling sangria - this was so good Bacon wrapped shrimp - this was amazing Carne Asada tacos - good Brussel sprouts hash - good I recommend trying the above and checking out Phoenix City Grille read more

I had high hopes and it was just a mid-line experience. I was SO excited to go, mostly because the foodies I went with are regulars and everyone usually rolls out the red carpet for them -- because they exude love and graciousness everywhere they go. This place knows them by name and my 83 year old Mother in Law chose THIS PLACE for her birthday. She is a gourmet chef, so you can imagine we bounced into this place with GLEEEE and enthusiasm. I honestly think the waitress didn't have enough time for us. Maybe she was busy or slammed or understaffed -- I don't know, but we were a table of 5 and -- I am sorry -- you ONLY TURN 83 one time in your life -- let's fuss over her just a little bit! The waitress was not rude. She checked all the boxes and did her job - that is for sure. However she did not make us feel very warm, welcomed or special in any way -- and it was like attentiveness was lacking. It's like someone serving you properly, but without care. She wanted to just go home. She had repressed impatience with us. It was as if when I asked her for another glass of wine or her opinion on the menu I was interrupting what she really wanted to be doing. You know when the server let you know that you are bugging them? That feeling. AND... by the way I have to say we were an adorable party! : ) A-DOR-A-BLE! I had my 83 year old Mother in Law's impeccable friends, who are 90 years old and 80 years old, beautifully dressed, put together and absolutely delightful, kind, loving highly capable humans... along with my 16 year old daughter who is just sparkles with delight wherever she goes, myself -- and my lovely 83 year old mother in law. Which by the way, I think they all had a delightful time. I don't even think they noticed that our service was mid. The food was ok. The service lacking. The ambiance was probably the best part. In all honesty, I kinda wished we just would have saved our money, didn't get all gorgeously dressed up for the night, didn't drive across town .... and just had yummy tacos at Manuel's Mexican Restaurant, where they really do love serving you and the food bursts with flavor. I can't say I would go back... well, only if my friends who I went with, who are regulars here -- tell me to... then I would, but I would much rather spend my money somewhere else. read more

Really enjoyed lunch here for the 1sr time. Parking is a challenge in the shopping center but I snagged one right up front. I had the steak burger with soup. The soup was absolutely delicious. I ended up taking half my burger home to enjoy the next day. It was also very good. My friend had the chicken and was pleased with her meal as well. Looks like a popular place for lunch or dinner. On the pricey side but you are getting great food. read more

Incredible food, ambiance, and drink selection. Upscale but not horridly expensive. The weekend brunch selections are always changing and always top-notch. Try the Eggplant Benedict, you will want seconds. The fish is always fresh and cooked with flair. The atmosphere is wood, brass, and allows for conversation. One of our pet peeves is a restaurant that is so noisy you can't hear each other. Reservations are reccomended on weekends and dinner. read more

Service was ok. We sat in the bar. Seems bartender was either distracted or had too many people to handle. We weren't checked on enough and a couple of items ordered were forgotten and had to remind him. Food was delicious though. Atmosphere was nice and inviting. Would go back. read more

This place can be summed up in one word: amazing! I have been here a twice and plan on going here for my upcoming 40th birthday. Every time I have been in here the restaurant is packed, which is always a good sign. Their food and drinks are amazing! My last visit we ordered the eggplant bites appetizer that's thinly sliced eggplant that's battered and fried and topped with piquillo peppers, tomato jam, feta, arugula, a sherry vinaigrette, and a balsamic reduction. It doesn't sound like much but these things were out of this world and I've been craving them ever since I've had them. For dinner I had the vegetable platter. While that may sound boring, it totally isn't. You get a huge plate of delicious veggies like large chunks of meaty squash, potatoes, asparagus, harissa carrots, an arugula salad...it's to die for. They have something for everyone here and being vegetarian, this is right up my alley. They have an assortment of soups, salads, pasta, and meat entrees. Definitely worth a trip to this restaurant. Also, their drinks do not disappoint! read more

First time there...comfortable atmosphere and food was fantastic! Our server was attentive and I didn't feel like they were turning tables and rushing us out. read more

Food is incredible, service is consistently amazing. Decent pricing too. Loved the burger and fries and the Bourbon menu is off the charts.

Phoenix City Grille is a wonderful spot with a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere. The overall ambiance is inviting and makes you want to relax and stay awhile. We sat at the bar, where Jeff took great care of us. He recommended the chicken, and it did not disappoint--absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. Jeff's amazing service, knowledge, and friendly presence really elevated the experience. I would happily return and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

A delicious dining experience for restaurant week 2022! We had reservations at Phoenix City Grille with our friends for four of us on Saturday night. Our table was ready when we got there & service was good throughout our evening. All four of us did the 3 course restaurant week items .. so quite a few thoughts listed below. None of their restaurant week menu items are on their regular menu (yet?), so I was a little hesitant but enjoyed everything I had! Between the four of us, we got all of the appetizer, entree, & dessert options! I personally got the Crispy Cauliflower, Citrus Chile Red Trout, and the Peaches & Cream sundae. Out of the three, the cauliflower was my favorite. It was fried perfectly and the sriracha glaze had a nice balance of sweet, tang, a little spice, and it all paired well with the chimichurri (very minty but it needed that "fresh" element). The red trout dish was solid; the picture I took doesn't do justice to show how much food was on the plate! I thought the fish was cooked well & all the elements on the plate tasted good. And finally the peaches & cream sundae was a nice end to the meal .. I mean who doesn't like some gelato? The peaches were a nice touch for the summer. Thoughts on the other dishes from my dining companions - the corn soup had good flavor & the spinach salad was just ok, nothing to write home about. We actually also ordered one non-restaurant week appetizer which was the Eggplant Bites; they were really tasty with the eggplant, tomato jam, paquillo peppers, feta, and balsamic. I would order these again! Everyone liked the entrees, so I think overall, the surf & turf pappardelle & pork loin were hits. The pork was a big portion and the pasta was filling. If you're a fan of coconut, the Panna Cotta was a good choice, there was nothing left on any of our dessert plates, so it's safe to say you can't go wrong with either dessert choice. Overall, the only critique I really heard was for the old fashioned drink that one of my friends ordered. The blueberry gin drink (forgot the name) & guava margarita were tasty. There were a number of items on their regular menu I was interested in, so I'm looking forward to coming back in the future! read more

My favorite restaurant, hands down. My wife and I go there to try and fine something that we don't like. If you're a whiskey drinker, you've just found your honey hole.. Id recommend... everything. And don't skip the bread pudding. read more

I have been here now several times and the food is very good as is the service and even better is the fact that they have to have the most amazing selection of whiskey - ask for the 4 page list of whiskeys and suggestions. We were there for lunch on Friday and I had the Rojas burger with no bun and my wife had the trout that were on the. Specials of the Day list. Both were quite good. My wife's trout had this amazing corn sauce. Totally yummy. read more

Peg and I took another couple to PCG for brunch and it was superb! Eric was our server and he made the experience smooth and professional even for a Sunday brunch! The food was consistently good and this is always a go/to spot!! While the room is large there is a sense of intimacy and easy for conversation. A return for either a casual or formal occasion! read more

We only visited for happy hour but it was so good I wanted to give a shout out. First, Max our waiter /bartender was great. He helped us order since it was our first visit and we were so impressed. We ordered the cornbread, quest fundito 1/2 rack of ribs and of course fries...always fries! ALL was worthy of a return visit! Very, very yummy! They pour a great cocktail too. We will return and try dinner soon. When trying a new restaurant we usually try happy hour first. I find if happy hour is done well, dinner usually follows suit... Max was not only helpful and attentive but seemed truly happy to be there. He made us feel welcomed. We will DEFINITELY be returning! read more

Great spot for a last-minute meet up with some friends in the area. REALLY busy on a nice Friday night back in February, but we didn't have that long a wait, and got a good table for our party of five. What a surprisingly adventurous, detailed menu from what appears to be a sort of quiet, unassuming place. Check that menu out ahead of time, if you're like me, because it's HARD to choose from all their tempting dinner offerings!! I had their DELICIOUS crispy eggplant sandwich, with both fries AND soup, and I would have been equally happy with just about anything else on the menu. My friends all were very happy with their choices as well. Great service, never felt rushed in spite of how busy it was, and quite reasonable prices for what we got. If I were a local, this place would definitely be in my gastronomic rotation!! Check it out!!! read more

Brittnee Reed help us with our Gender Reveal Party planning. She was awesome to get us a private room and with a private bathroom too! Two tables in the back so we can set up our Mickey/Minnie ears and then the cake. The room was spacious for the 20 of us! No charge for the room, just order off the menu! That is cool! Our server Jocelyn was freak awesome!!!! She took care of all our us with a smile. She was so wonderful, we offered her and the some of the staff our cake. They made our day! I got the rose lane chicken and it was very very good. I am surprised all the orders came over pretty much at the same time and all the food was HOT! read more

We stopped in for a drink and appetizer. This place was great and Emma was a wonderful bartender. We had the short rib sliders, spicy guava margarita and a blueberry vodka drink. We loved it all. Emma told us about the history and we will be back to try entrees soon! read more

The food was OK, but the staff were rude. Our party of four was sitting in a booth and we spent around $200. We were wrapping things up after we had been there about two hours and the general manager comes over and asked us to leave because people with reservations were waiting. I looked around and there were several open tables in the dining room. That's the first time I've ever been asked to remove myself from a table in a restaurant. I guess spending the $200 just wasn't enough to stay there more than two hours. I won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

Pro tip: have reservations!! We didn't. However, we got lucky and the four of us were able to sit in the bar area at a high top table (which normally I hate, but maybe I'm just getting use to them because this one was A-OK). I had the Ramona Super Food salad (the large). It was delicious! And, yes, I ate it all. I did have shrimp added. I found it rather strange, though, when I asked to add shrimp, I was asked how many. Well, the menu states that you pay $11 to add shrimp, so doesn't the dollar amount dictate how many shrimp you would get? Anyway, I just found this rather strange and said 3? I have no clue if we then paid $11 x 3 or if we paid $11 for 3 and it should have been more? Who knows. Very weird. read more

Ordered the steakhouse burger which came out with no real flavor and ice cold. The service was not very attentive.

Came in during the week at 4:30 and the restaurant was pretty empty. Happy hour is only at the bar and patio which is a little disappointing but I get it. Menu is large with a lot of options. You'll certainly find something you like. We started with the cornbread which was pretty good and my entree was the flank steak. Steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were light which I appreciated. Service was fine. Nothing special or worth noting. Waitress did her job by taking our order, refilling drinks and bringing the food. Didn't tell us about any specials, we saw them on a board as we were walking out. I would return for the food but hope to have a more enthusiastic server next time! read more

This is a delightful local restaurant that was recommended by a long time Phoenix resident. We liked it enough to get there twice during our one week stay in town. The Steakhouse burger and Crispy Eggplant Sandwich were both delicious. We will make this one of our go to restaurants any time we are in town. read more

Our server, Jenny was fantastic and so helpful! Visiting from LA, we were delighted to find Phoenix City Grill. The ambiance is welcoming and the food is lick your plate, delicious! Kudos to the chef. The chicken breast was tender and moist and my son who doesn't normally eat cooked carrots, loved them. The mashed potatoes are on a whole different level of deliciousness! Husband's pork tenderloin was "wait, let me try another bite" yummy. And my chile verde was also yum! read more

Wonderful food and service! Had a burger and the chicken, with the cornbread appetizer. Everything was delicious!

I watched a PBS show called "Check Please, Arizona" recently where a roundtable discusses restaurants that they have visited. All four of the people raved about this place so I decided to give it a shot. My husband and myself met another couple on a Sunday afternoon at 2 PM. We did not have reservations and although it was pretty busy, we did get seated right away. I had the grapefruit basil martini that was outstanding. I also had the brussels sprout hash as I am on a low-carb diet. They were both fantastic ! My husband had a burger that he said was very good, my friend had the small order of short ribs that came with potatoes and a small side of the brussel sprout hash and her husband had a breakfast off the brunch menu. We were all completely impressed. My only complaint, and it's not enough to remove a star, is our service and our servers were a little on the slow side. It was Sunday afternoon and we weren't in any hurry so again, it's not worth removing a star for. I highly recommend this place! read more

We were looking for a casual neighborhood restaurant and we found a food star. The wait staff was friendly helpful and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. There were three of us, each having something different. We sampled each other's dishes and determined all were equally good. We will be back for sure. Thanks. read more

The food was great! The drinks were perfect.And was moved to quiet table where the ambiance was ideal

We had Jonah as a server. He was friendly, knowledgeable and had great recommendations! He was very attentive to our needs. He confirmed the green chili pork on the appetizer/shareable plates was a good choice. It was amazing! My husband's burger was equally as good. My margarita was so good I had a 2nd. Jonah brought to the table and shook himself! Even better than the 1st! Great place to go for good food, good drinks and relaxing atmosphere. Ask for Jonah! read more

I have always had a good experience at PCG BUT was dissapointed yesterday....not because of the food quality but because they brought me something other than what I ordered on the menu. I ordered the halibut with potatoes and veggies and they brought me a salad with halibut. I would have sent it back, but I had to make a play in the afternoon and did not have the time. I should have spoken to the manager but I ate what was put in front of me (because of limited time) and it was delicious. PCG manager - speak to your kitchen staff!! They should know the menu! read more

I'm so happy this place is still operating, given 2019/2020 My daughter's grandma drove down to visit over the holidays. Wanted a nice set down establishment. This was my go to, when I lived nearby. Our dinner party of 4 enjoyed our meals. 3 of us ordered the dinner steak special and it didn't disappoint. My little girl loved her kids meal. Our waitress was very kind and attentive to our table. I order my steak, medium rare and they got it just right. Not overdone. It was delicious. read more

I have to start by saying that the food was incredible! However, we had the absolute WORST service/server in the restaurant. We had a large group of women for a holiday party luncheon. Our waitress was completely dismissive, she didn't care to ask if we needed anything, she didn't ask us if we wanted refills or additional cocktails, she handed us the check before we were finished and ordered dessert... our service did the food a disservice! We shared multiple appetizers, delicious! The eggplant, queso and chips, cornbread - they were so good! Most of us had the special, a patty melt! It was so good and so rich - I'll be dreaming of it! We shared several desserts, my favorite was the bread pudding!! Overall, I'd go back to Phoenix City Grille and would hope and pray we didn't get the same server! read more

We used the banquet rooms to celebrate our parents 60th anniversary. The service and food were amazing. Sheldon the onsite manager assisted me when I received last minute RSVPs that exceeded the banquet room capacity. The servers were attentive, efficient and everyone had exactly what they asked for. We had 50 guests with no complaints. The team did a fabulous job. Britnee was our event planner. She did an amazing job and helped us provide a perfect celebration for our parents. Thank you PCG.

Four of us went for dinner last week Two ordered skirt steak and loved it. I ordered the pork green chili appetizer as my entree, and there was plenty of great tasting food for a meal. We had the skillet cornbread as an appetizer. It was good, but a little sweet with the savory would have been better to my palate. Great food and reasonable prices read more

We just arrived in Phoenix for a trade show and to visit a few reptile keeper friends in the area. We stopped here for a light lunch and were pleasantly surprised. We got a slice of green chili cornbread, eggplant bites, and green chili pork - all to share. Each dish was unique, well-prepared, and delicious. The green chili isn't super hot - it's actually mild, but full of flavor. We will definitely go back and try more items on the menu in the future given the opportunity. read more

This was a bookmark from a Check Please episode. Finally after months have passed, we made the trip out. A bit difficult to find, as its along the short part of the strip mall and signage is difficult to see if you pull in early into the lot. Food: Somewhat a surprisingly limited menu. Very few app options and they all seemed to be a bit on the pricey side. The Hummus didnt have enough pita wedges on the plate and had more tomatoes, olives and other items than actual hummus. The corn bread though was excellent! Again a small pan for $13? Make it $10 and we would order 2. Burgers were the big winners, as well as the salmon. The overall menu again was limited, but everyone seemed to have enjoyed their food. Service: Started off a bit slow, but overall was very good. Recap: Worth a visit if in the area. A short drive from Scottsdale and Tempe, but a bit of haul for us from Gilbert. read more
