It's a vibe! This place has a great ambiance. A good blend of a lively atmosphere while also being intimate enough for a date night. We had the brussels and squash salad and the prime rib French dip sandwich. The prime rib was excellent. Bread was soft and chewy and the meat was well seasoned. I highly recommend the sweet potato side as it had a spicy Asian sauce on it that made it unique. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was! The appetizers were great, the entrees were delicious and filling, and the dessert was outstanding! The mocktail I got was also unexpectedly very good. Also, they apparently have the best meatloaf in town - I'm not really a meatloaf girly, but the people at the table who got it said that it was fantastic! Our server was awesome and the ambiance here is very nice - albeit a little bit dim - I would definitely come back! It was a bit pricey, but not unreasonable given the quality of the food and the location. read more

We had dinner at The Arrogant Butcher and overall it was a really solid experience. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out--our servers were friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in without being overbearing, which made the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. The menu has a nice variety, and we each ended up trying something different. The sandwiches come with one side, and I decided to upgrade to the mac and cheese for an extra $3--and that was absolutely the right call. It was creamy, rich, and full of flavor--honestly the highlight of my meal. I ordered the French Dip, which had great flavor overall, though it was a bit more well-done than I personally prefer since I usually like mine closer to rare. Still, the bread was good, the au jus added nice depth, and it was an enjoyable dish. One thing that stands out for me is the salt and pepper mill on our table. I love freshly ground black pepper. My husband ordered the Kobe burger, and that was a definite win--juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. He really loved it. My daughter went with the steak, which she said was good, but it didn't quite stand out compared to some of the other dishes we tried. Overall, it was a good meal with a mix of standout items and a few that didn't quite wow us. The excellent service and comfortable atmosphere definitely added to the experience, and we'd come back again--especially knowing what to order next time read more

Came here for a friend's birthday. The staff was attentive and friendly, and they validated my parking (only at CityScape parking garages). Slightly dimmed lights, but a fine overall vibe, not too fancy, not too casual. We enjoyed the meatballs and crispy shrimp as appetizers. My friend did not love their filet mignon, but it was okay. The Steak Salad was a clear winner for the table. I enjoyed my Pacific Sea Bass, the flavor and cook was great, and the veggies were flavorful and tasty too. read more

Went to The Arrogant Butcher and overall had a really nice experience. The crispy rice tuna was honestly perfection, definitely one of the best things we ordered. The meatballs were really yummy too, but I do wish there had been a little more sauce with them. I got the steak and it was cooked to the correct temperature, but it was a bit tough and chewy, which was a little disappointing. The sea bass on the other hand was perfection and probably my favorite dish of the night. The service was amazing and the staff were always really thoughtful and attentive. The ambience was fun and felt elevated but still casual, which made it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner. read more

Impressed with everything. Our server Cameron was awesome, food was clutch (solid menu), great cocktails, & amazing deserts. French dip didn't disappoint-- lotta cheese (which I like) but make sure to ask light if you don't want it fully immersed in delicious cheese. Kobe burger really solid, crispy bacon & Mac & cheese side worth the upgrade. Meatballs were amazing, could eat 2 orders myself! And dessert was awesome, would go again anytime! And they gave us some nice note & champagne to celebrate our anniversary-- first class move!! read more

We went and tried the banana split which is new on the menu!! It is outstanding!! Michael our server was also fantastic! It was 1:00 on a Friday and it wasn't busy but it wasn't slow. The temperature inside was perfect! I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you do anything go now and get the banana split. read more

Went on a whim without reservations, and got to sit at the chef's counter! Our server was so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! So was the super welcoming manager! The layout is simply gorgeous. Their seasonal sangria and fairway margarita are strong but so refreshing and easy to drink! That Crispy Chicken Breast is hands down the best chicken dish that I've ever had anywhere. In fact, I'm still dreaming about it. Can't wait to go back to try more of their menu the next time I'm town! I've heard amazing things about their happy hour! Highly recommend! read more

They have a smallish menu, but everything is incredibly prepared. Neat atmosphere and very friendly staff. Great location if you're going to be at the convention center or the arena. It's a popular spot so you can expect a wait if it's a busy downtown event night. read more

I recently moved to Arizona and have been exploring different restaurants. Last night, I visited The Arrogant Butcher in Downtown Phoenix to celebrate a friend's birthday with another friend who was visiting from Texas. This was my first time here. First, let me say that this place is fabulous! Their menu has a lot of variety and their food does not have MSG (mono sodium glutamate), which is crucial for those highly allergic to it (one of my friends is). That said, our waitress that we had was absolutely sweet, socially engaging, and delivered exceptional service. She welcomed all of us, explained the menu, and made sure to acknowledge the little but important things during our dining. One of my friends ordered steak and asparagus = sublime. I ordered chicken egg rolls, again, a delicious appetizer, and my other friend ordered fish chips with a side. My overall dining experience was wonderful, the ambiance is great, very social and chill environment but can also be intimate. I highly recommend this restaurant. I personally will be back again. I also gave my waitress a much deserved larger tip. read more

The Arrogant Butcher - Dessert - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Top-notch experience eating here. The brussel sprouts are fantastic, truffle fries were super hot and crispy and the cheese plate is a great selection for a wine pairing. My wife and I ate here before a concert and ordered all of the above on happy hour. The staff is fantastic. We had a gift card that didn't work, so the manager gave us his discount as a consolation for the inconvenience. Will definitely come back. read more

A small group of us came for dinner before attending a concert at the AZ Financial Theatre. I had made a reservation several days prior and when we arrived we were immediately seated. There was a line building of patrons wanting to eat so we were glad we had the reservation. Friendly greeting upon arrival and when we were seated our server came over immediately to introduce herself and let us know she would be right back. We had time to review the drink and food menu; Jen was server and came for drink orders first. Wife ordered the Kiwi Water Margarita and I had water. Others also ordered drinks and when delivered, everyone said their drinks were perfect. Wife loved her margarita and was happy that they were able to accommodate her request for a sugar rim. Once drinks were delivered, Jen was quick to come back and take dinner orders. I ordered the fish & chips and wife ordered the crispy chicken. One of our friends ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip for the table and it came out warm and gooey. Everyone loved it!!! The fish & chips were fantastic...lightly battered rock fish which was tender and tasty. Loved the tarter sauce and actually ordered an extra one so my fries could be dipped. Came with slaw, which was creamy and savory...not sweet like sometimes it can be. I had asked for crispy fries and they delivered on that! Great dish and so happy! Wife had the crispy chicken which came with a filling of crab and green beans with a Calabrian Chile sauce which she said was tasty and not spicy at all. She loved it! The lemon caper butter was just the right touch and I would ask for some for the fish & chips as well because that combo would be so good! We ended our meal with the Old Fashion Cobbler (sorry no picture because everyone dived into it before I could photo it!)...wow that was pure pleasure! Full of spiced apples that were sliced and in a good slightly thick sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. Great way to end the meal. Overall, it was busy...a tad loud...but Jen was great, on top of things and we would definitely come again when in downtown. read more

I did a lot of research (on Yelp, of course) before choosing The Arrogant Butcher for a celebratory dinner while visiting Arizona, so my expectations were high. We started off with old fashioneds, and unfortunately, that set the tone for the night. We specifically asked for them to be made at half sweetness, but they came out incredibly sweet... more like 150%. When we mentioned it, our server (who was otherwise very sweet and attentive) asked if we wanted to order a shot to pour in and balance it out... but it wasn't complimentary. We weren't going to pay extra to fix a drink that wasn't made how we requested, so that part left a bad impression. On a brighter note, the tuna tataki appetizer was fantastic. This was easily the standout of the evening. Beautifully balanced flavors and textures that made me wish the same creativity carried into the entrées. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. It es flaky, buttery, and tender... but had almost no flavor. The vegetables underneath were tasty but minimal. The jambalaya packed plenty of heat but lacked depth. The farmer's market bowl was fresh, colorful, and overall one of the stronger dishes (though a little more chimichurri would have tied it together nicely). The boneless pork chop was flavorful and well-cooked. This was definitely the most satisfying entrée. Overall, it was a "meh" experience. A few dishes really shined, and our server was kind, but between the overly sweet drinks and uneven flavors, I left feeling like the meal didn't quite live up to the price point. read more

Solid! 5 stars for our amazing bartender/server... Janette! She was amazing. Absolutely lovely, attentive and gave just enough attention. I've been coming here for over 4 years since I moved here from NYC and tonight has been my favorite visit. The food, not so great this evening, but I'll be back either way for the bar experience. Always a love atmosphere no matter what. read more

Came here during restaurant week, my favorite time of the year in Phoenix! Got the oysters and the Butchers Platter to share for the table, the Oysters did have a little shell in them. Went with the Cesar salad, prime rib, and cheesecake for my 3- course meal. Our server was attentive and helped walk us through the menu as this was our first time here. Great location downtown right across the basketball arena where the Phoenix Mercury and Suns play and only a block away from Chase field. You can park in the garage attached to the building, either get a ticket at the entrance or if there's an event going on tell the attendant you're dining at the restaurant and they will give you one and your server will validate your parking for up to 2-hours. read more

I got this food to go... and I was shocked at how delicious it was, even to-go!! I'm gluten free - so I got the baked chicken with a side of mashed potatoes (photo attached). So freaking good. Though I was only inside briefly, the inside/ambiance of the restaurant was very stylish and modern - it seems like a cool place to dine in. And the server who got my order was quick and friendly! I'd definitely check this place out! :) read more

My friends and I had a great time on Saturday evening! I was the last one to arrive and the restaurant was packed. I was able to check in with a staff member and hunt for my friends. I got the chance to walk around the restaurant which is huge. The front has a large square bar surrounded by tables and an outdoor patio with tables and masters. Behind the bar is a bustling kitchen and next to that are even more tables with two separate rooms in the back. I found my friends in a booth and got to check out the menu and the vibe. They have a great mix of sandwiches, burgers, and entrees as well as a specialized drink menu. The restaurant has a very laid back, but upscale vibe to it-you can be in shorts or a suit and fit right in. Our server was very nice and accommodating. He kept out water glasses full and provided some great recommendations. I went with the Atlantic Salmon that was super crispy yet soft on the inside. It was surrounded by arugula and couscous, which was in this buttery sauce that was oh so good! I got about half way through and couldn't eat anymore! Can't wait for the leftovers and to return to the Arrogant Butcher! read more

What a gem in downtown Phoenix! We had an incredible experience at The Arrogant Butcher before heading to a baseball game just a short 10-minute walk away -- the perfect spot to kick things off. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance stood out: lively, stylish, and fun without being too loud. The staff was not only friendly but also impressively attentive -- they took my husband's celiac disease seriously and made sure everything was gluten-free with no cross-contamination. That kind of care and knowledge is rare and so appreciated. We ordered a variety of food and drinks and loved everything. The pork carnitas nachos were bold and flavorful, the cheeseburger was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the jambalaya had just the right amount of heat. Drink-wise, the daiquiri and marg were both refreshing and well-balanced. Highly recommend if you're catching a game or just want great food in a vibrant setting. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great dinner tonight. My son said it was the best burger he has ever had, and that is high praise, indeed! I had the crispy chicken, which is a breaded chicken breast topped with some lump crab and a nice lemon butter sauce - fair warning, though, it was spicy. Once I realized that and picked out the little pieces of red chili pepper. I did much better. It was delicious! Service was fabulous and the energy was good, it's a pretty cool place. We will go back tomorrow for salads and a dessert. Also the smashed potato thing was really good, but it's pretty much just like mashed potatoes with some stuff on top of it. Not crispy with skin on like I assumed. read more

While on a convention trip to Phoenix, in addition to Carcara in the Sheraton Hotel, we also dined at the Arrogant Butcher (a member of the Fox Restaurant Concepts' family) as recommended by the Sheraton concierge. It was an outstanding meal. While it is a sports bar concept with a lively bar there was also a pleasant appointed dining area. The staff from the front of the house to the serves were attentive and provided excellent customer service. Two people in our party tried the Brussels & Squash with Fuji apple, pomegranate, romaine, arugula, crispy sweet potato, ancient grains, almond, goat cheese, and brown sugar thyme vinaigrette. One person added salmon to their salad and the other adding chicken. I guess the fact that their plates were cleaned indicates they enjoyed it. I went for the Pacific Sea Bass with grilled artichoke, green beans, roasted tomato, green olives, and lemon caper butter. While I enjoyed the entree, it would have been nice to have had a larger portion of Sea Bass. We briefly considered enjoying our dinner on the outside patio but the 100+ degree temperature quickly dismissed that idea. Overall, a good dining experience. read more

Arrogant Butcher downtown I feel like is a staple now. It's the same as it's always been, which is mostly good. Plenty of tables, clean environment, and consistently good food. The overall experience and service isn't anything special and the food, while good, isn't worth going out of your way for. If you're downtown already (such as for an event), this is a great place to go where you're sure to get a good meal. read more

We stopped in since it was close by to where we parked after my niece's volleyball tournament on a Sunday around lunch time. Was glad it wasn't packed so we were seated right away. Server was very nice and attentive. For lunch we probably didn't want to pay much as we did and the food was a hit or a miss. My sister ordered the smoked carnitas nachos, it had great topping on it but wasn't enough as the nachos were very dry to the pallet. My niece ordered the tuna tataki crispy rice, she seemed to enjoy it. I ordered the AB cheeseburger, it was quit delicious. The server was nice enough to sub french fries for their loaded smashed potatoes which was full of flavors. They do offer HH Mon-Fri from 2-5 pm only at the bar. They should have HH on the weekends to attract more customers as it was pretty empty on a Sunday. read more

Solid place for some legit comfort food. We ordered the meat loaf, chicken, and jambalaya. All were delicious and full of flavor. Service was good but it did take the food a while to get served. Good amount of seating. Make sure to pick the correct parking lot for validation as we had a problem with the validation and ended up not getting validated which was annoying and expensive due to it being downtown. read more

We stopped in while traveling and had a quick lunch! For starters we had the meatballs, super delicious and would highly recommend. Not pictured was my bowl of chicken noodle, which was ok nothing too special and my husband had the Cesar salad which was interested, I had a bite and it had Brussel sprouts in it. I didn't hate it, a different approach on a Cesar salad. The portions were generous and the service was great. Everyone was so nice and the service was quick. read more

Went last night with a friend for appetizers and food was really good. We ordered Brussels sprouts that were cooked to perfection , chicken eggrolls that were yummy. The sauce was off putting because it looked like marinara but it tasted sweet. The fries were just ok. I thought they would taste better but they weren't terribly bad. We only drank water , but service was great. Our waitress was great! The restaurant had an outside patio that was double sided and it was lovely outside. Will definitely be back. read more

Went to this fine establishment to enjoy a Meal with my brother and was not entirely disappointed. The burger while a little on the pricy side ($23) was cooked to order. However, the bun was cold and the burger was quite salty. The service was quick and waiter was honestly quite attentive. Though he did not mention I would be up charged for my macaroni side when he showed me "other side options" or that we would be up charged for a specific old fashion drink. It always disappoints me when restaurants fail to do so. The ambiance was nice as it had classic yellow dinner lighting and the seats were comfortable. Would I come again? Yes for a special occasion but would try something different read more

We made a reservation before a concert and the first thing that stood out was ambiance. My MIL said it was the cleanest bathroom she had ever seen. Lol! Now, the food and service were both top notch. I had the pacific sea bass and my family ordered the prime dip sandwich and crispy chicken. My fish was so tender and cooked perfectly. I don't like olives and the server let me sub extra artichokes! My mom's crispy chicken was by far the best dish. So lemony and delicious and a good portion! The server was knowledgeable and very attentive. I would definitely come back! I just wish happy hour lasted until 6pm. read more

This place came recommended by our hotel and it was not a far drive for our starving bellies!!! So we hopped in a Waymo and made our way over there which was easily accessible for all. Great view and cute casual place to enjoy some lunch. We were seated promptly and opted for outside seating since I was such a nice day in Phoenix. We started with 2 apps and actually should've stopped there. There is a hearty portion for the Butchers platter and the rock shrimp. They were also so delicious that 2 of those would've made my day. The platter has a mix of some amazing things and the house made mustard is AMAZING!!! These apps were so good that it made our main entrees feel a bit underwhelming but we were also super full. The SKA beer recommended by our server was nice and refreshing as well. Prices were reasonable and I would be back. read more

The 2025 Valentine's Day prix fixed menu was a delight! It was a definite value for such good food! I ordered the salmon as my main, which was cooked to perfection. And the seafood platter (an add-on) was definitely worth it. The ambiance of the Arrogant Butcher was casual-upscale and the service was mostly spot on. They were extremely busy, so I had to wait and remind my server a couple of times to bring me a beer. No huge deal, tho.
