The service was quick and the staff was super chill. Our server was really helpful with recommendations, which is always a plus. The atmosphere is pretty laid-back, good for a casual night out with friends. Overall, Tempe Eats is a win. If you're looking for some over-the-top, delicious eats that will leave you in a food coma, this is your spot. I'm already planning my next visit!" read more

Service was excellent. Jay was personable, courteous and provided great service. We had a nice experience and will be back.

I visit Tempe Eats often. The food is amazing, from Freestylez great soul food, Fishpop crispy fried fish, to the great empanadas. John and the whole staff is amazing. Every time I come in they welcome me by name with a smile. The customer service there has no equal in AZ. Thanks for the great food and service. TJ read more

First time here! I'm excited to come again. A variety of tempting experiences. Like a *wide variety*. It's like it was made for my Adult ADHD. Spicy fish and chips: excellent. $3 margaritas: dangerous Jay and Cas were great! This would be a great "first date" place. Something for everyone! read more

I should've checked Yelp instead of listening to my girl's social media influencers hyping this place up. Tempe Eats looked promising based on the photos and online buzz, but the actual food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy that's heavily advertised with pictures when you walk into the restaurant, and what came out looked nothing like what was being marketed. The sandwich was served on what tasted like a basic bagged Italian roll, there was no real "special sauce" besides straight cocktail sauce, and overall it just felt cheap and thrown together. Definitely not worth the $20 price tag. Honestly, I'd be embarrassed serving that as an owner. Random AF Taqueria was also disappointing. The smash burger was mediocre at best, and the waffle fries were way overcooked. I like crispy fries as much as anyone, but these crossed the line into hard and burnt. The strawberry horchata was a banger though. The positives: the strawberry horchata was excellent, the banana pudding was actually really good (and was given to us on the house after the disappointing meal), and the atmosphere/service were solid. Sports were playing on the TVs which made it a decent environment to hang out in, and the woman working the front counter was awesome -- friendly, attentive, and easily the best part of the experience. Overall, the service and drinks/dessert saved this from being a 1-star review, but the actual food didn't come close to matching the hype. read more

Tried tempe eats recently and thought the concept was really cool. Feels like a mini food hall/food court with multiple options, and I liked how you can order from the QR code at the table. We sat at the bar and the bartender offered to start our tab and take our order directly. He was the only one working there at first so service felt a little slow as he was handling drinks for everyone else. People were also coming up to the bar to order. After waiting awhile we were going to just order off the QR code instead. Bartender said he could still take our order and got a co worker to help. The orignal fish and chips was good. My boyfriend liked the wings. The veggie roll surprisingly took the longest to come out. A staff member went to go check up on it for us and was gone for some time. It was good. Not the best Ive ever had. Just funny that the veggie roll ended up taking the longest out of everything. I liked how they had games at the table like connect four. It gave the place a fun atmosphere. There were only a couple available and other people wanted to play it too so we played a couple games and passed it along to another couple to share. read more

Overall a simple easy flowing place with different food options. Bartender was nice and everyone was pretty friendly. Chill place to try different restaurants and was simple to maneuver. We do wish the people at the front had been more educational on the process but not hard to self discover either on your own. read more

We had family in town and have been wanting to try Fish pop since we have been following them on IG for awhile. The vibe in the restaurant is great very open, big bar, beer wall. However I will say the ordering system from your phone is awful. They need to invest in a better more organized set up. They have all the Restaurants clumped into one giant list. It was so confusing and it took forever to even find the alcohol drinks. We ended up just going up to the bar. When it got to checking out our cards were all declining and we clearly had money it was a system glitch. It took us a good 25 min to get our food ordered. I also think it would be a great idea for someone to greet you when you walk in and explain the ordering process not just point to the QR codes. We enjoyed the spicy fish and chips and the tartar sauce was so good! I didn't take a picture of it but we got a soul food plate it was fried chicken wings, candied yams, Mac and cheese, and cornbread. It was great and my 11 month old tore that plate up! Haha Fix the system and I think you have a great concept. read more

Spicy fish and chips - fantastic, only slightly spicy but not weak. The tartar sauce was incredible, and my favorite so far. Fries were alright, nothing special but not bad. BBQ pulled pork nachos - wow. The waffle fries were heavily seasoned in the best way, and I couldn't be happier. This was enough to feed two, and even the leftovers were tasty. Highly recommend, and you get to choose the meat as well (I went with pulled pork). They give you quite a bit of meat too. Margs - nothing special but not bad. Can't beat $3 though. Our bartender was so sweet, and she helped us pick some food and navigate the restaurant. You sit anywhere you'd like, scan the QR code, and order from a culmination of multiple restaurants, like a food court. They have a bar, and also a tap wall where you can fill your own beer! I'll be back to try that out. They have empanadas, soul food, bbq, fish, sushi, and probably some more that I'm forgetting, so check it out if you ever have split cravings! read more

We went for lunch. It's a unique dining experience in that it is a standalone food court building with a single POS system that supports the multiple counter service only restaurants with a central bar and a wall of self-service beer taps. It is relatively clean when you consider it is a food court . . .we've all been to those sticky tabletops, crumbs left behind by previous diners and empty condiment containers. The host checks on you (there are no servers) and everyone seems friendly. read more

Tempe Eats is a good concept in theory. It's a food hall, but not. You order from a kiosk and workers are labored with the task of bringing your food. They have to discern between orders and try to give you a run down of your food should you ask. Kinda sucks actually. You should leave them a tip. Some of the things we ordered were good and some were not. I felt like everything was reasonably priced. The Eats gives you plenty of variety to choose from. You can also enjoy an alcoholic beverage while you wait. If you're dining with a bunch of people, this may be your spot. read more

Have to update my review. Tried Fish Pop at Tempe Eats. Love this place now. Best fried fish in the valley. read more

Kind of a cool concept here. The place is really clean and it's progressive. The service was a little strange because of the concept but good. The food was really good. Really was some of the best fish and chips I've had. The fries were amazing, the thing is though, this is like a little food court without the mall and the food we got came from one of the, I think, 6 restaurants? Maybe only 5. But that's the deal, it's a building with a bar, a hostess, and lots of seating but you have several places to choose from. Check it out when you're with several people that all want something different. read more

Tempe Eats is an eatery with different places to eat at. ( it's like going to the mall and eating at a food court) we came because of what came up on instagram and it praised the tacos. Well they are not worth it for the price. We also tried Birria Ramen it was horrible and very greasy. The tables were dirty- needing to be cleaned along with the floor. When they bring your food out they don't bring you any pla read more

Little confused about the low ratings, but here's my experience--- Tempe Eats has a cool concept imo-- there a bunch of different places to eat in one area ( think of an upgraded food court ) and the facility it self sells alcohol, has tv's for games. They have all these taps for beer, I haven't had a chance to check that out yet. Each time I have eaten there I was warmly greeted, and the staff at TE explains how everything works. They also check on you and help if you need assistance. This works out great if someone in your group doesn't eat a certain type of food and you can get some beers or whatever to drink. Chix and Fish pop ( restaurants at TE ) are worth the drive alone. Looking forward to going back soon. read more

Food halls offer diverse & unique offerings. This is a fantastic opportunity a start-up "if you will" for local vendors to get their products out there & grow their restaurant business. We wanted to come experience & explore the options under one roof! This is a communal dining experience with a mix of fast-casual and chef-driven concepts. Greeted right when we came in. At the time we arrived, not ALL shops were open. However, we were intrigued about one shop in particular that we had seen on Tik Tok, so was happy to see that they were active. Chikpop was our choice. First item selected was from their Fishpop: Spicy Buttered Fish & Chips. The other two were- The Maple Truffle Sando and the Hot Honey Sando. Everything was excellent & worth the price as far as portions! I've never gotten a chicken sandwich this big in my life! LOL We split the chicken sandwiches, so we could sample both. I can do hot, but that hot honey was too much for my tastebuds! The Maple was extremely sweet & could have used a little heat, but overall the flavor of the breaded chicken was very good yet a tad bit over cooked with a darker texture and harder crunch. The slaw was interesting. The color was as well. I'd maybe do less of that or non at all, as it seemed to make the sandwich bread soggy and difficult to manage. The Fish & Chips were on point and devoured quickly. This is an order at "whatever" counter you choose, pay and take your receipt which has a number that will be called when your meal is ready. Make sure to hang onto that sales slip to reference your order! Ours took a little bit... Note- inside there is a good size bar. They carry Arizona's largest self-serve beer wall (42 on tap) which you'll be certain to find the perfect pairing within the eatery. Would have been nice to know what some of the other places were contributing to the food hall? That said, it gives us a great excuse to come back! read more

Love this place the food was amazing and I love all the options. And Kas the host was so sweet and helpful coming back real soon!!

The three stars here is for ambiance, service, and their ordering system. I'll tack on my thoughts on their food at the end. I was relatively impressed with how clean and comfortable the location was. Big televisions everywhere, good music. The location had a nice vibe. Booths were large. The service and ordering system is where they fell down. The servers seemed relatively disinterested, and the ordering system was an absolute nightmare. They need to invest in software with a better user experience if they're going to thrive. Fishpop's fish and chips were good, and Random AF's vampire tacos were pretty good as well. Their green salsa was the best - red was too bitter and the orange was overpoweringly spicy...hope you didn't want to taste your food with that. read more

We came here on a Monday night at 7:03. After ordering our food I started to wonder if it was a mistake coming here. Four others before us seemed to have been waiting forever on food or their food orders were wrong. One of the employees I heard her say "Sorry it's a case of the Monday." I personally don't think that's a valid excuse for anything. We ordered from Fishpop the original fish and chips and then the maple truffle sando from chickpop. We got out fish pop at 7:30 and our chickpop at 7:35pm I love the concept and the place was cute but definitely needs some changes. read more

Tempe Eats stands out more for its concept than for any single dish, and that's not a criticism--it's what makes the place memorable. The most unique part of this restaurant is the experience itself: multiple eateries operating under one roof, with the ability to order from different kitchens at the same table using kiosks or QR codes, and servers delivering everything seamlessly. This worked especially well for our group since everyone wanted something different. There's a wide range of options, which makes it a good choice for larger or picky parties where consensus is hard to reach. The food across the board was good and enjoyable, but not unusually outstanding. I had a tuna sushi roll, we shared empanadas, another person ordered buffalo wings, and someone else had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Everything was solid and well prepared, even if the standout factor was really the format rather than the food itself. There's also a bar on site and a soda vending area. The staff was friendly, patient, and very helpful in walking us through the ordering process, which made navigating this unique setup easy. Overall, Tempe Eats is worth visiting for the experience alone, especially with a group. The food holds its own, but the concept is what really sets it apart. read more

This was an interesting experience. Let me start with what was good. Lemon pepper wings delicious, asian fries were awesome, chicken teriyaki bowl, cat fish platter . Listen, I don't like catfish, but I tried a piece from my son's plate, and it was everything. The flavor reminded me of some good southern cooking. Now, the POS system is not a hit for me. You can a QR code, order from app, they will bring out your cups and food when it is done. Then there was an ask for a tip. For what? Not me tipping for you to bring me cups for drinks that I just paid for, then I have to walk across the restaurant to fix my own drink. That's a huge NO for me! read more

Interesting concept but we were a little confused. It's a food hall with a couple different restaurants, but also had waiters/waitresses. Staff were friendly though! We came here to try the Fishpop popup which is here from 6/1-6/30. Saw people lined up at the window so I got in line there as well. We got there at a good time because the line got even longer afterwards. They have original flavor or spicy flavor fried fish for $22 each. I ordered 2 spicy. Comes with fries, peas, and a dill tartar sauce. Payments accepted at this window are cash, Zelle or Venmo. If ordering from the front register, you can use card. My friend ordered 2 pastas from the Creole Bowls place. I also ordered a whiskey mule. The fried fish was golden and crispy. Perfectly fried. The piece I ate wasn't spicy or salty but my friends said theirs was salty. Fries and peas were good. I really liked the sauce! Can't remember the name of the pasta but it was some seafood buttery pasta. I had a few bites of it but I prefer red sauce so to me, it was okay. Not bad. There's plenty of seating inside and they also have a wall of beer on tap too. Would be nice if there were more food options to choose from in there though read more

I'm going to do two reviews; one is for the overall hall & bar and the second will be for the pop-up restaurant that brought us here in the beginning. So we had no idea this place existed until we saw a story on the news about the Fishpop pop-up currently housed here. Located in a larger building at the corner of Mill and Baseline, the concept includes a few different restaurants and a pretty good-sized bar concept. There appears to be a few standard restaurants here including Yogi's Grill, which we were familiar with from the malls. Also there was a Cajun place (Cajan Breakfast Joint), Fork Off, Seafood Boil, and Creole Bowls to Go. The birria tacos at Fork Off looked delicious and we will be back to try those for sure. The bar was well stocked with a dedicated bar tender taking and making orders. The overall space was clean and well-kept and there were two women who were helping to keep things up as well as assist customers as needed. They offer events like brunches with music, happy hours, family events, etc. And it appears that you can also rent the venue for your own parties. Creative idea for sure! read more

Wish I would've taken a photo. My wife found 3 maggots in her beer!!!!!! Management didn't offer an apology and didn't even come up to our table until my wife assumed it was him standing by the beer machine and waved him over. DIDNT EVEN SAY SORRY!! Our son ordered sushi and thankfully didn't even take a bite before she found the bugs, and everything was compensated. But YUCK!!! What really burns my ass is not even an apology from ANYONE!! First and LAST time we will ever go to this establishment. Down right disgusting. read more

3.8. Cute food hall. Small and not very busy when we went. Meat/seafood were fresh, delicious flavor and cooked properly; Spicy chicken sandwich and fish and chips. Fries were a bit overdone and the tartar sauce was a little off, for my taste. Not very emulsified. I like when food halls serve food on regular plates when you're dining in as well. The to go baskets were fine but, the quality of the food should be plated purdy for dine in, imo. Nice service as well read more

Well we got suckered to make the drive from Gilbert to check this place out off of TikTok and let me say--it was disappointing. As a whole for Tempe Eats--it's an interesting concept especially nestled in a college neighborhood but it was disappointing. We came out on a Sunday and it was slow. Maybe a handful of people. The service was extremely slow. It took us 20 mins and soggy soda cups to finally get our food. We came to check out Fish Pop and grab some beers but all the beers on tap from the video we seen--welp the tap was all down and out of order. Very disappointing. The video made it seem bigger--it's not but also not working. I got the spicy fish--really good. Had some flavor. Not hot at all. The fries and fish were very crispy which I loved. I would rate my meal 7/10. The fiancé got the standard fish and chips--he rated his meal a 5/10 because the fish didn't have any flavor. He said the best part of his meal were his fries. We are both intended to have some drinks and since the tap was out--we would have ordered cocktails but the menu gave us college student selection. We won't be back but we can say we tried it? read more

The concept has potential, but the execution falls short. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt off, and I would not recommend it for families with children. We drove 45 minutes to try the Fish Pop, and it was underwhelming. It was very greasy and lacked flavor. We also ordered the quesabirrias, which were bland and noticeably underseasoned. The consome was an additional $1.75 and was extremely small and equally lacking in flavor. My daughter ordered the noodles, and unfortunately they were not good either. Service was slow, and we had to get up several times to check on our food because it was not brought to us. The decor felt inconsistent, and the signage appeared improvised. We spent over $70 and left feeling that the quality did not match the price. I was genuinely so disappointed that I wished I could get my money back. I would recommend looking elsewhere read more

Quick Review: Delicious and would come again. A little pricey but it's worth it. Get the spicy fish and chips! I was in the area for a few days and decided to try this place I found on TikTok. It's a food hall type restaurant with a lot to choose from. The atmosphere gives upscale and it has a fully loaded bar and a wine bar! The owner was very nice and welcomed everyone into the restaurant with smiles. The prices ranged from 15-30+ depending on what you order. I ordered the Spicy fish and chips. 10/10 flavor, tartar sauce was great and it filled me up!(Price was 21.50) I'd come back for the fish alone. My lady ordered the chicken and shrimp teriyaki yakisoba noodles which were decent. Could've used more teriyaki sauce but the portions made up for it.(20.00 for her food). Stop by if you're in the area and I hope you enjoy! read more

Went here specifically for Fishpop as there was a lot of buzz around it, and saw Chickpop joined them at Tempe Eats as well. Went to order a beer, but they were out of my first choice....and second choice...and I think it was my third choice that they finally had in stock. Seems kinda odd they were out of so many beers and didn't know about it until they tried to pour a glass. Fishpop itself I thought was pretty good, just not the best fried fish I've had. I don't know if it was just because I didn't drink enough water that day or what, but after I left and for the rest of the night, I was SUPER thirsty. This was my first time at Tempe Eats and I expected it to be pretty bustling and with a lot of vendors. There were maybe 4 vendors there, with space available for additional vendors. There weren't many customers when we got there, but throughout the night, it got slightly busier. We also went on a weekday so that could've also been a factor. The process is to order through a QR code and you can see all the options from each vendor and pay directly on the site. Once your order is ready, they'll call your number and you can pick it up. There's a self serve station for condiments, utensils, napkins, etc. read more

My Son and went to Tempe Eats for Fish Pop. There ae around 6 hawker stations inn the building. New experience for us. They service was on point! We sat at the bar. Was introduced to beer service to the beer wall. You get a separate charge card for the beer wall. Choose your beer. A little spend. Then we ordered from Pop Fish. I got the spicy and my Son got the traditional. Both were excellent. Fries were great. Don't know about the other spots featured in this place, but what we had was worth another trip! read more

Stopped by for the Fish Pop pop up and this place was busy. Every table was taken so we opted to sit outside. Here we sat for a few minutes while we waited for our food and we ran inside once we saw a table open up. The workers we interacted with all friendly and helpful. The inside was a bit too warm. Everyone was in line for Fish Pop but the orders came out fast. read more
