Lady taking my order was very nice and helped me figure out what type of bread to go with. Ordered the works sandwich, breakfast burrito with egg and turkey and an oat horchata. Overall I think this place was good! Both of the meals were a big portion - the bacon the use is fresh (none of those thin little microwaved slices) but the oat horchata was decent. If you want a quick breakfast and a good portion - this place is it. read more

I wanted to like this place more since it's so close to work and their menu is pretty large however it felt short of my expectations. I got a espresso-chata via uber eats however I couldn't taste any espresso. The horchata itself was so sweet, too sweet in my opinion. I called back to make sure the drink actually had espresso since I thought maybe they forgot but they said it did have one shot of espresso. On its own it was too sweet so I bought an espresso shot at my work coffee shop to make it a little more drinkable. I am curious about their mangoneada so I may try that next time but for now I'd say skip the espresso-chata. Service was fast and friendly. read more

One of my favorite traditions is stopping by after work on Thursdays to take advantage of the $5 IPA special. It's the perfect way to unwind, catch up with friends, and enjoy some of Arizona's finest locally crafted beer. Whether you're there for the food, the beer, or the lively patio atmosphere, Arizona Wilderness never disappoints. If you're in the neighborhood--or even if you're not--it's well worth the visit. Highly recommended!

Came back after seeing the soft serve margaritas on all socials--on Mondays they have half off…read morecocktails all day. Made the long drive from Gilbert to see what the hype was about and let me say....that soft serve was WORTH IT! I got the swirl and it was soooooo refreshing and delicious. I have seen people comment that they were too strong (I don't see the problem or maybe some people don't really like tequila) but mine was perfect! Not strong at all. The only reason I didn't give this updated review a 5-I ordered the banh mi sando and the sandwich was so dry. Chicken was dry. The cilantro wasn't chopped I had to pick out long stems. Also I got the AZ frosè and the rosemary syrup was just way too pungent to enjoy the whole beverage. I wished it had been more balanced. Especially when the French fries are heavily seasoned with rosemary--a bit too much.

Limited seating inside, but plenty of additional seating outside if you're willing to fight the AZ heat. They do have evap coolers running to help though. Quickly glanced over the menu while in line and settled on the French toast, egg sandwich, and the quiche. My stand out favorites were the French toast and the quiche. Undeniably delicious! The tater tots that came with the egg sandwich were as close to crispy perfection as you can get in my opinion. We gobbled them up way too quickly. Outstanding food and service!

Parking was a pain since the lot is small and there aren't many spots, but we eventually found one. The place is open and bright, with both indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the register, grab a number, and they bring the food to your table. The staff was pretty quick about clearing tables, so it wasn't too hard to find a spot while we waited. We ordered a cold brew, a decaf Americano, the Cube French Toast, an egg sandwich, and a breakfast burrito. Both the sandwich and burrito came with tater tots. Everything looked really nice presentation-wise. Next time, I'd probably ask for the syrup on the side with the French toast and skip the bacon on the egg sandwich. I tried it, I reviewed it, and I'd probably come back again.

We also tried the Sashimi Don, if I remember the name correctly, and that was really good too. Atmosphere: The decor is not the stereotypical Japanese style you might expect.

One thing that really stood out to me was that each stall had an audiobook playing inside. Such an interesting and memorable touch. There is no street parking nearby, so you'll need to park in the garage next door. They do validate parking.

We also loved the short rib skewers--no business being that good. We did order the gyoza...they were good but did not compare with the other starters. I ordered the miso salmon. It was perfectly cooked. Slightly salty but good. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak and everyone at the table got a piece and were in love. That steak was heavenly. My sister in law and friend both ordered the filet mignon and both really enjoyed their steaks. For sides we ordered the potatoes and Brussels and I highly recommend you order those for your sides if you go. The potatoes are ridiculously good. We ended on some desert, although I was too full, my husband got the chocolate cheesecake and my SIL got the sticky cake. Her sticky cake was recommended by our waiter and it was the better dessert choice. Cocktails were good. The ambiance was amazing. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

I also loved that they let you choose from mild all the way up to extra Thai hot...my fiancé loves super spicy food, so that was a big plus since not every place offers that.

We had drunken noodles and vegetable fried rice. We asked for the food to be Thai spicy and it had absolutely no spice whatsoever and there was an acrid bitter taste in both dishes that was so off putting that I wanted to brush my teeth right away to get rid of the terrible taste. We boxed up our leftovers to give to a homeless person and as soon as we stepped outside of the restaurant, a homeless guy carrying pizza crusts out of the garbage was walking by. We gave him the leftovers and I told my husband I felt guilty for giving him such awful food; not sure what would be worse eating leftover pizza crusts out of the garbage can or that crappy food.

Ultimately this doesn't matter to me as I just want the ice cream. Today I was on my way to work and decided to treat myself to a coffee. Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

I'm usually not in the area during business hours but today a friend and I visited in the morning. They have parking behind the building but the street was closed so we parked in a nearby lot. Skoden is inside Central Records so it's got a cool vibe to it. A few people were already there and a couple ordering ahead of us. I heard about their fundraiser and ordered their Diné tea affogato, made with Navajo tea ice cream and double shot espresso. I've always wanted to try affogato and today was the day. I also ordered their mini blue corn donuts with berry glaze (6 for $4) because they're very good. And I got one of their cute stickers ($3). Service was friendly and welcoming. The affogato was pay as you can donation which is a nice touch. The espresso was strong but mixed with the ice cream was a good balance. I love that they use real cups and plates here, very eco friendly. There's also a water dispenser with reusable cups at the counter. The bathroom was cute with a cabinet plastered with cool stickers. This indigenous and queer women-owned business prioritizes community, well-being and anti-colonialism. They have done fundraisers for Palestine and for mutual aid and care about each other.
