My Son and I visited The Herb Box on our vacation from San Francisco, CA and thought it was such a cute spot with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our server, I believe his name was Sean John, truly went above and beyond. He was incredibly kind and attentive, and took extra care to make sure my meal worked with all of my food allergies, which I really appreciated. The experience felt easy, welcoming, and enjoyable from start to finish. We both had a great time and would happily return. read more

Sadly, was coming to try for the first time. There was a lady who was before us waiting to be seated. She said she hadn't even been acknowledged. Finally, a woman sticks her head out from behind somewhere and says, I'll get someone to help you. Several minutes later, a young kid greets us and takes us outside to a table. Another 5-7 minutes and nobody acknowledges us. They walked past and would not even make eye contact. It was as if they didn't want to take our table. After another 5-7 minutes we get up and leave. They all-looked and saw us walking and didn't give a care. This experience was like walking in the land of zombies....... read more

I have had lunch at Herb Box Shea twice in last month. Both were disappointing. The short rib tacos were OK but a bit fatty. I had the butternut squash enchiladas which I usually have & they were dismal! Mostly corn-could barely find squash. It seemed the enchiladas were reheated in a micro because you couldn't cut with a fork; half way thru with a fork it was tough-hard. The salad had too much dressing-soggy & some of arugula was dark & not fresh! I will not be going back! Seriously $6 for iced tea! read more

We went here for a Mother's Day brunch-in their defense, we weren't aware that it was a buffet, we thought it was just going to be a regular menu. However, I am never adverse to a good buffet though! Unfortunately, this was not a good buffet. The food was completely unappetizing looking and such a bazaar combination of food. The service was absolutely atrocious, the only thing the waiter needed to do was make sure our drinks were replenished in a timely manner. That was not possible apparently. And speaking of the drinks-$6.00 for an iced tea?!!!!! Are they kidding me right now?!! Really just a horrible experience-I will never go back:( read more

Herb box is a cute restaurant. I recommend parking underneath in the garage as there is construction and the serfs e lot is super full. The food is fresh and good but it seems overpriced, especially for lunch. Service was solid so no complaints there. read more

The Herb Box - Chicken Avocado Chop Salad - New American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Let me start by saying this was not our first choice of the day. In fact, it was our third. But I have zero regrets having ended up here instead of the other two, which had absurd wait times or zero handicap parking. While we did have to park in the parking under the little shopping mall and use the elevator, then trek back to The Herb Box, it was entirely worth it. No wait at all and the person seating us took into consideration our canes and whatnot to seat us at the most comfortable seats. The waitress was a dream. She listened to my allergens, asked for some of the things I might be interested in, and then headed to the kitchen to ask. We modified a little bit on the items I got, though it was less off-roading than usual. The tacos were amazing. Filled to the brim and so much I had to take half of the second one back to the hotel and eat it later. The black bean mango 'salsa' had no heat but was delightfully rich in flavor, which was perfect for me given some mouth issues I have. Plantain chips were cooked in the fryer with avocado oil, which meant I could have them! The charcuterie had an amazing dill manchego that was one of the best cheeses I've had a in a long while. The fig jam and the seed mustard were A+ and the herbed pickles were good as well. I found myself not really caring for the meats they used though. I didn't take any stars off for that because my father liked them just fine, just wasn't my taste as I'm more of a pepperoni/salami kind of person for boards like that. I took enough back to the hotel that I had dinner and then even had breakfast in the car on the way home. The standouts of this visit, in order, were the waitress, the tacos, and the cheese. read more

fresh food, solid brunch options, and a cute cozy vibe. Service was chill and friendly too.

Such a cute spot that uses local ingredients! Came for lunch on a weekday and was able to get seated quickly our server was friendly & provided great recommendations! I went with the blackened chicken + sage pesto sandwich but ended up ordering as a wrap with a spinach tortilla. It was amazing! I will definitely be back for dinner service. read more

It wasn't busy at 7:20 PM on a Saturday, our party of two was seated immediately. There's underground parking and a lot out front. I ordered the blackened shrimp avocado Baja bowl. It was a big portion, I only ate half. The shrimp was a bit too salty, I had to chase each bite with water and the sweet potatoes. My wife liked her steak salad, said the meat was tender. Aubrey was our server. Can she read minds? I was thinking about how I'd like more water. A minute later my glass was topped off. After stuffing myself and tapping out I thought about taking the leftovers home. Seconds later I was asked "Can I get you a box?" Decent ambiance. It was clean and visually appealing, but a bit warm and stuffy inside. read more

Such a cute spot for brunch with your vegan and non veggie friends! The decor is beautiful and very spacious. I went on a brunch date with pookie and enjoyed our meal and the vibe. We started off with a couple of mimosas and I indulged in some yummy tacos! I like to eat something sweet after savory, so I spoiled myself with a chocolate chip cookie from their bakery. The size of the cookie is so big and definitely sharable! I am looking forward to trying more items from their brunch and lunch menu! see you soon! read more

Arrived for dinner on a Saturday night. Not busy at all. Plenty of parking. Found the restaurant easily. If you need wheelchair access, we seen signs for an elevator near the garage area. Otherwise it's all stairs going up to the entrance. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was great. I ordered the Urban Market Steak Salad. To my surprise, the steak was actually tender and easy to cut. It came with a nice Worcestershire sauce on top. Not quit an A-1 sauce taste but almost shy of it! I wonder if that's what they were going for? Hmm. The salad was refreshing and delicious. I'm not a gorgonzola kinda gal but I was able to manage a few of the stinky cheese bites. Enjoyed the candied walnuts for texture. Overall, decent place to grab a bite to eat. I'd try other things on the menu for next time. Oh save room for dessert because we weren't able to. The restaurant has a nice glass case with a few choices of carrot and chocolate cakes, cookies and cupcakes. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Clean bathrooms as well! Enjoy! read more

I ordered an Arizona Grass Fed Burgerwith a lettuce wrap to avoid high carbohydrates and it came in a carb-ridden tortilla!! it also didn't come with a lot of the ingredients pictured eg fingerlings and NO cheese! Is this how restaurants are saving on cost now? Also the Side Grilled Chicken was supposed to have greens as photographed, and it came with just chicken! Again, is this how restaurants are saving on cost by leaving off half of the food that you paid for? Management needs to look into who was working on Wednesday, June 19 at about 7 PM because they've clearly don't want to be there. read more

A buddy and I went in for a casual lunch. We opted to sit on the back patio, which was nicely covered with umbrellas. The restaurant is in a high foot traffic area in Old Town Scottsdale but on the back patio you feel secluded. The menu and drink selection for lunch were plentiful. The items we got were tasty and good portion size. The service was fun and attentive and without any issues. read more

Modern atmosphere with unique dishes. All that we tried was pretty good, but you'll find that the menu is a bit limited in both food options as well as drinks. Service seemed a bit slow, especially since our group was the only table seated for most of our dinner. Still not bad to try if you're looking for a good vegan option. read more

Worst Mother's Day Brunch EVER!!! Wow! What terrible brunch today at The Herb Box in central Scottsdale. Let's start with the buffet location. It was outside in the heat (102 degrees today). The salads looked limp and unappetizing, The salmon was way overcooked and hard, with no hint of the promised grapefruit and sugar charred seasoning. The bacon was way undercooked, limp, fatty and greasy. The pancakes had been sitting in the stream tray for who knows how long, and the smoked gouda Mac n' Cheese had zero cheese flavor and was just room temperature. The rosemary buttermilk chicken was, fortunately, not too overdone and had a nice flavor, but it was also just room temperature in the tray. And the very small and sad looking cheese and charcuterie board was picked over, even right at noon. To be fair, the desserts were good. Not great, but good, But several of the desserts needed to be eaten with a spoon, so naturally there were no spoons available. And no dessert plates in sight, although that was eventually fixed. On the bright side, the servers, although inattentive, were friendly and helpful if you went and tracked them down and asked for something. Maybe I was expecting too much for $57 a head. But I bet we would have had a better buffet at Golden Corral. read more

I am the manager of a luxury retail boutique. I have partnered with the Herb Box to cater events in our store. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of the process. Andrea was amazing to work with, and helped me curate an incredible experience for our customers. The servers working our event were top notch--all extremely personable and professional. And the food--absolutely delicious! My customers and my team could not decide which selections were our favorites, as they were all amazing. I have another event with the Herb Box in a few weeks, and look forward to continuing the partnership in 2026. read more

My previous review was for the location up north at DC, now relocated to 70th and Shea. We moved from Scottsdale right around the time this location opened. Back in Scottsdale for a couple of days gave me the chance to have a great visit to their new location. I am very familiar with their new spot as it is less than 5 minutes from where we lived in Scottsdale and was in the same area where our dog groomer was located. You can't see the restaurant from the street, but it is worth finding as the outdoor patio is beautiful as is the interior. For us who like eating at the bar, especially at locales that have a great Happy Hour like the Herb Box does, this bar has only 4 spots to sit. I'm sure the Happy Hour area expands to other tables near the bar, which is important to know. The Herb Box Happy Hour is one of the best in Scottsdale. They have $5 glasses of select wine, $3 beer, and $8 shareable plates. As compared to many restaurants that reduce the size of Happy Hour food items versus the normal dinner menu offerings, the HB offerings seem to be normal size. This is evident in the Brussels Sprouts and the Pear and Gorgonzola flatbread that I had today. Both of these HH offerings were fantastic! I wish the flatbread would have had some more pear on it, but that could be my personal desire. The large plate of Brussells Sprouts is possibly the best I have ever had. It consists of the leaves of the Brussell Sprouts and they appear to be flash-fried t a high temperature in something like sunflower or grapeseed oil. My main dish was the Grapefruit and Sugar Charred Salmon. As a salmon aficionado, this is one of the best and most creative dishes there is. It is perfectly cooked with multiple ingredients that work very well together. If we still lived in Scottsdale, we would LIVE at this restaurant! At least we have a destination eatery the next time we are in town! read more

We went very early on as Saturday to have drinks and stayed for dinner. Think there were two other tables seated when we arrived at 5 pm. By the time we left at 7:15 pm the patio was full and about half the place was full inside. The drinks were solid - a jalapeño mango margarita and a lime basil martini made with less simple syrup fit the bill. The Korean cauliflower on quinoa was very good - not too much gojuchang on the sauce which can overwhelm dishes with its funkiness. Not sure the quinoa really goes that well with it since it is wet and makes the bottom of the cauliflower pieces soggy. The Brussels sprouts app is great. Tasty aioli under the flash fried leaves. It looks like a big plate however the leaves are as light as air so there's not much there! One of us had the avocado love which is three pieces of roasted wheat loaf topped with avocado mash then dressed arugula and more avocado with a few candied jalapeño slices here and there. They said it was awesome. My dish was the steak salad with a nice 5 ounce piece of grilled sirloin that was cooked exactly as requested and quite tender. It had as brown sauce on it that was okay but covered up the flavor of the meat. Better to serve that on the side. The salad was light and fresh with a few pieces of freeze dried corn, some strips of fried beets and parsnips (?) and a light dusting of goat cheese. The dressing needed more oomph however it all tasted good enough. The last dish might have trouble - my better half ordered the chicken sliders. Three small brioche buns with decent size pieces of very dark and crunchy fried chicken. They were topped with red lettuce, tomato slices and an aioli. He said they were good, not great. Chocolate chip cookie was dry and crunchy. The ding dong like chocolate dessert was very good. Not sure we will be back soon as one of us got sick right after dinner and they were the only one that ate that dish. Since we can't be sure we will leave it at that! They were very nice about it though and service was very good. read more

If I could give TEN stars, I would. Hudson, my charming server, was absolutely TOP notch and perfectly complimented my meal, ambiance, and experience. The Urban Market Steak Salad was truly OUT OF THIS WORLD. I've never had such a dish like it before - the steak literally melts into the perfect blend of smoked bourbon heaven. The dressing was divine along with the blend of greens & veggies. It takes a lot for this food critic to be impressed, and I was simply blown away. read more

Everything was so good. The Brussels sprouts were light and crispy. The kale kapora very yummy. The sweet potato chips so good. We enjoyed the veggie wrap. We ordered it without feta. So having vegan options was really nice for us. The wait staff were incredibly friendly and gave us nice recommendations. The patio area is really nice and clean. We look forward to coming another day maybe even with our dogs. read more

This time of the year can be tricky in Phoenix with the weather in the 70s quickly dropping to the upper 40s or lower 50s once the sun goes down. So choosing inside or outside seating is important. Knowing tonight was going to get cold quickly, our party of 7, including a 14 month old chose to be inside. But, when we got here we find the inside was really outside as the garage style doors were fully opened. At first it wasn't an issue, but as it got increasingly cold it became very uncomfortable. As I write this it is 58° and dropping. We were finally told by the manager that another guest asked for the doors open (for health reasons) so there was nothing they could do. Guess having them outside instead of inconveniencing every other guest there. We may have been warmer outside as we could have had a heater nearby. Usually Herb Box is nice dining experience- good food, nice atmosphere, great service. But tonight, not so much. We were cold. Our food was cold. Drinks were slow. Servers over worked. Managers not responding. So next time, or if you come here, bring a coat and gloves so you'll stay warm, even if your food doesn't. Wonder what the Maricopa County health department might say about these dining conditions. read more

This is a tough one to rate for me. On the one hand, the fresh and internationally inspired menu sounded super interesting and delicious, but everything left me wanting a bit more, and service was ok, but not great, so overall I'm in the A OK group thinking I may not have ordered correctly. We came as a party of 8 and they quickly got us seated inside. Scanning the menu I saw the crab dip and the pakoras right off and knew I needed to try them, and for lunch I ordered the Serrano shrimp salad. The pakoras had good flavor but were not pakoras. These are supposed to be small fritters and what arrived was a loose plate of crunchy battered kale and corn. Sure it was tasty and provided the fix for something fried, but I ended up sprinkling these crunchy bits on my salad. The crab dip was basic and I didn't find much crab in it. I liked the plantain chips, which looked to be made in house and a nice change from other chips or crackers. I also ended up using this as a dressing for the salad to add more flavor to the salad. Now onto the salad. Reading the description I was expecting something like a fried shrimp ceviche salad, and if I'm being honest, what arrived was actually an open faced sandwich. Two pieces of toasted bread sat on the bottom of the plate. They were smeared with a thin layer of avocado and topped with 5-6 good sized crispy fried shrimp. The shrimp were then covered in a jungle of arugula and a few very thinly sliced Serrano peppers, served with dressing on the side. The description on the menu sounded solid, but the salad lacked texture and was very one note. I am assuming the idea was for the shrimp to add the crunch, but they weren't enough. The dressing wasn't notable or strong enough in flavor to cut through the amount of arugula on the plate, and there just wasn't a whole lot of variety happening here. Colleagues ordered other salads, bowls and sandwiches, all of which looked better than my choice. So maybe I ordered wrong. Overall I would return to try something else. read more

I've been going for quite some time to the new location. A friend and I meet there for lunch periodically and I've been with my husband on many occasions. I've almost always liked the food. It has options for vegetarian, if you need that. Today we noticed the cost of a simple Arnold Palmer was $7.00! My friend asked a manager about it. He said the owner said it's a local place in Tempe they get the Tea from and justify the price. The food prices are already very high for what you get. My husband and I have eaten out lunch and dinner daily for years, no joke. We have never paid anywhere near $7.00 for an Arnold Palmer and it's almost all I drink. I was looking for an event location for an upcoming large group get together and that crazy price will keep me away. My gf and I said before we left, lots of places in Scottsdale to go that don't charge those prices. We will be going to one of those next time. read more

My colleague and I stopped here for lunch today. The casual and simple decor inside has ample seating and lots of space. There is also a patio outside with seating. A small dessert case invites you to the hostess. I asked our server for recommendations which he suggested the chop salad or burger. I was eyeing a few sandwich items which he recommended the crispy chicken BLT. The sandwich was delightful! And came with a side of air fried sweet potato chips, which were seasoned well. read more

It is clear to me why they closed down one of their locations. We arrived and not 1 person was eating at 6pm on a Friday evening. I felt like I was walking on to the set of a restaurant rescue program. We took our seats and we were left waiting for 10 minutes. Stayed only because the person I was with had better experience than what I described below several years ago. Without going into great detail the items we had: shrimp salad, Brussel sprouts,and butternut squash taco had absolutely no flavor. It was clear that the tacos may have been microwaved, the shrimp was most likely frozen, and the Brussel sprouts were greasy and were really not edible. The ambience was cold and dreary as the furniture was dated and dirty. Felt bad for the very polite workers as it's clear they could not make a decent wage with no customers. Best to avoid IMHO until they make changes accordingly. read more

Went to this spot close by to the place we went for paintball. We changed clothes prior to going. We waited behind a couple when we got there and another couple waited behind us. It took 10 minutes for anyone to greet the first couple and then when it was our turn, the couple behind us walked through the other door and stated to the hostess "we need a seat outside now please. We had reservations 20 minutes ago and we just got here." If someone misses their reservation they should wait but this hostess took them before us and still didn't greet us. They weren't short staffed either cause there were servers walking everywhere and the place was not even packed. Whoever the manager is did not give their staff great organization skills to keep a smooth operating restaurant. When we finally got seated, we waited another 15 min for our waitress to get our drinks. After she got our drink order, we waited another 10 minutes for her to come get our actuaL order and and after giving our order she says "it will be about 45 minutes for food to be brought out" we were shocked as that's what the hostess should have said if the shortage is for the cook. So in order to keep us from eating our own arms, we saw there are pastries and asked for a red velvet and the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake which took them 15 minutes to bring to us. The only reason this got more than 1 star is because the pastries at least tasted great. Not a good spot to go to if you want good service. read more

Unfortunately, this was not a good experience overall; this is due solely to our server, who had a bad day. I can say that I came and don't have to return. The kitchen ran out of popular items; the server had an attitude, the drinks were flat, and the meal was just "ok." My sister, who recommended this place, was apologetic; she felt horrible that her guests from out of town had such a poor experience at a highly recommended and popular eatery. "It must be this location," she exclaimed because I always enjoyed lunch here. This was my experience, and I wasn't happy, Except for their delicious Brussels sprouts! Perhaps if you read this review and still want to go, you will catch them on a better day, but if not, you can't say you weren't warned! read more

Really bad. We had the crab dip, which sounded great but was terribly under seasoned. I ordered the salmon as main, which sounded great- but was really slop on a plate. None of the delicate flavors described in the menu could be seen or tasted under the 14lbs of quinoa that accompanied my dish. Really, nobody eats that much quinoa in a lifetime. Service was a bit off as well (although super friendly). It took forever to get our drinks and we were being pushed to put our complete order in before the drinks hit the table. read more

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE & RACIAL PROFILING INCIDENT on April 28 in the afternoon! I arrived to Herb Box and waited at the front to be seated. No hostess was present at the front, so I walked over to the bar area and asked one of the staff if it's open seating. The young male told me: "No, the hostess is outside and will seat you." So I walked back to the front to wait. 10 mins later, hostess never seated us, she saw us, made eye contact with us, I also saw the young male point at us indicating we were waiting for a table. Yet, the hostess proceed to walk back outside and did not seat us. EXTREMELY UPSETTING EXPERIENCE . Never had an issue at the Old Town Scottsdale location before. read more
