    Breakfast Sliders with hashbrowns
    Christina S.

    Unassuming cafe at the end of a strip mall with country decor and, frankly, terrible lighting but soooo worth the visit! You're not visiting this place for the atmosphere but you are here for the delicious food! The restaurant is clean and our service was great. I picked a unique breakfast I found on the menu...Breakfast Sliders. I was VERY happy with my choice and the rest of the table envied my dish. Three sliders with chicken fried steak, onions and Swiss cheese on a biscuit. Served with your choice of potatoes and gravy. I chose the hashbrowns. We had never been to the San Tan Cafe but we will definitely be back again, soon!

    We finally got a chance to check this place out on a Thursday at 8:30am. They have a good following of locals. It's a cute place with friendly servers. The coffee is average for a Diner. We got the pancake plate and two eggs with hashbrowns, bacon and toast. The eggs were cooked nicely. The toast and the hashbrowns could've been cooked a little more but I guess we just need to ask for well done next time. Pancakes were good. The sausage had a nice flavor. They keep the coffee coming if you want extra. It's a solid breakfast diner.

    Omelet and hash browns
    Jeremy C.

    Wanted to try a new place by the house. Found this place and will say the food was amazing. I had an omelette and hash browns. So filling. The service was great. Sat us down quickly and immediately asked about drinks. Was always stopping by and checking on us. The place has a great family feel to it, but will say. It was packed and stayed packed the entire time we were there. Great place to eat.

The seating hostess asked, "Patio is okay?" I answered, "Yes, that is fine. We don't mind." And at this time, there was NO ONE seated outside, so she said it would be about 10-15 minutes. I said that was fine and went to wait with my family. About 10 minutes later my app said that we had been checked in and our new wait time was 0-5 minutes. It was not. We waited until 11:31am to be seated, and were seated INSIDE? No one was outside. We figured there must not be anyone available to work patio. We ordered our drinks and food right away as we had time to think about it during our wait, and knew what we wanted. Our food came out, but we didn't have silverware or our drinks (Morning Meditation and Blazing Dragon). My husband had to get up, go to the bar, and ask for silverware. We had water and my daughter had her apple juice so we went ahead and started eating. Our waitress came by and asked if we needed anything else, we asked, "Can we please get our drinks?" She went to get them and they were fairly watered down from the melted ice by that point, but they were still good. My food was okay. The pumpkin pancakes were a bit mushy in the middle, but otherwise tasted fine. Chicken apple sausage is always good. My over medium eggs that I gave to my husband were hard. And while eating his pancake he said, "Why does it taste burnt?" His top pancake looked fine, but when we picked it up, the second pancake was burnt. We told our waitress and she said she would have it redone. The second pancake showed up and again, it was burnt, not as bad as the first but still enough for it to taste burnt. Our waitress took it away. The pumpkin donuts were exceptional. My daughter liked her pumpkin pancakes, but she didn't understand why they put chives on her eggs. I told her probably because pumpkin pancakes were not on the kids menu, but we can let them know no chives next time. We were about to leave when we looked outside and they were seating a family of 6ish people. Maybe they got someone to come in? Overall, it was busy, there were some kinks... the food was alright. The place is clean and you can tell everyone is trying their best during the rush, we were just the unfortunate ones who got the domino effect of things not working out.

    A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

    Unfortunately, our experience at Sage & Barrel in Queen Creek was horrible, and we will not be…read morereturning. From the moment we arrived, the host was not welcoming at all. There was no smile, greeting, or sense that we were happy to be there. Our server was very nice personally, but the service was incredibly disorganized. What made it even more frustrating was that she only had two tables, and the restaurant was not busy. My husband's meal never came out, and she did not even notice that he was still waiting for it. While we were waiting for his food, she brought us a drink we had never ordered. She also filled my kids' lemonades with water. The food was just as disappointing. The salmon was extremely dry and hard, and the pasta noodles my kids ordered were hard as well. After waiting and realizing my husband's meal was never coming, we asked for the bill. At that point, our server actually asked if my husband was ready to order... even though he had already ordered and had been waiting for his meal the entire time. Our bill ended up being high, which made the experience even more frustrating because we spent that much money and left feeling like we received essentially nothing worth coming back for. We all left hungry. Mistakes happen, but this was not one small mistake. It was a series of issues with the service, drinks, food, and basic attentiveness, especially considering the restaurant was not busy. For the amount we paid, we expected a completely different experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

It was kinda later in the morning so my daughter and I decided to share something. It came with a piece of breaded chicken, two smallish waffles and a hefty portion of scrambled eggs. There was syrup, some butter, and the description said it came with a side of chipotle aioli, but that was not in the bag. The chicken was super crispy and tasted as expected. The waffles were tasty but my daughter said they were crispier than she would prefer. The eggs were bland and boring and we didn't end up eating them. The tots, were the best thing we ate to be honest. They were crispy, and seasoned well with what tasted like a variety of spices. I wish now we had ordered totchos instead, maybe I would have been wowed like so many of these reviews. I was a little sticker shocked too. For the one meal, with the small side of tots was approximately $21. That is pretty hefty for a fast casual restaurant. I may give them another try but will not order the same thing.

A typical go-to order for us is one orders one pancake and the other orders the 2-eggs, tater tots, sausage with sourdough toast and jam.

The gravy tasted burnt for some reason. Maybe they used bacon grease that was left on the burner too long? It wasn't burnt but tasted like it. They also didn't give nearly enough gravy. So it was quite dry. Crackers & Co off the 60 & country club is still the hands down winner of biscuits and gravy in the east valley. Fresh squeezed OJ was good. Pricy. But you can taste that they for sure were squeezing their oranges fresh in the back. Pancake dog was pretty good nothing to run home about though. Scrambled eggs were really tasty - not liquid fake egg or powder. We sat outside and even though we were in the shade now I was concerned that the sun may of been hitting the area we were sitting earlier in the day. And this concerned me because they don't mind having the cholula and ketchup baking in the sun. So be aware of you use their condiments they may of been outside baking in the az sun (as shown in my pic). The service was respectful and nice. Don't think I'll be back especially if I want biscuits and gravy... may try something else in take out in the future.
