    Desert Pear Lemonade w/ Pink Lotus Flower
    Helene D.

    I'm struggling to come up with words to explain just how tasty this place is! The tuna sandwich & lemonade 1 got is made in house, you can't beat that! They were in their slow hours so the gentlemen behind the counter placed my order for me on the tablet which I appreciated. The store is small & gives off a modern Mom & Popshop feel, comfortable.

    Tuna Melt Sandwich
    Jason H.

    Fun little sandwich spot . We loved the variety of sandwich's . My daughter loved the spicy Italian and her lemonade . The tuna melt was good . Also this is a self order spot . Be prepared to enter you order yourself. Be sure to stop and give this spot a try .

    Queen Club and The Italian Lover Sandwich
    Todd P.

    It's a bit confusing to locate. It's in the middle of a large parking area surrounded by office buildings. When we got there for lunch, it wasn't busy at all but it got busier around noon. We shared a Queen Club and their Italian. As a meal with chips and a small drink, our bill was over $24. Both sandwiches were good but the Queen Club was the better one. Lots of meat and easy to eat. The Italian was a little disappointing. We were expecting it to be warm. That's probably part our fault for not asking. It was nicely dressed but even the bun was cold. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean.

    I LOVE the Lunch Lounge this place is amazing! I go here almost every day I'm in my office. The coffee is phenomenal, they have so many choices for flavors and milks. Their sandwich selection is amazing too, I've tried almost every sandwich on the menu because of how often I go and have found my favorite. In addition to amazing coffee, they have lemonades, teas, smoothies and energy drinks, so there's something for everyone! The service is always fast and super great and friendly. This place is packed around lunch time and for good reason, HIGHLY RECOMMEN

    First time in Arizona. This was about two blocks from our hotel and the food here was worth the walk in the heat. I got the Southwest Chipotle Panini. Hands down the best thing I have had during our stay here. We came back two days in a row because it was so good. The service was quick! The staff was incredibly nice. You order on a tablet which made things move quickly. It wasn't too busy either of the days we visited. It's a bit on the smaller size but it was cute and clean! There is a restroom as well. Highly recommend!

    Order twice through UberEats. Food tastes good. Then third times a charm. I just found two long hair stuffed in the sandwich. How does the place get a health score A? So gross.

    Hot Pastrami Sandwich
    Syd G.

    Amazing food, and the Hot Pastrami sandwich hit the spot! The place is super cute, and has lots of seating both inside and out. Service was fast as well.

    The menu is so varied!

    Fantastic food with great portions (tuna melt was spectacular) with unique, house made drinks (prickly pear tea = chef's kiss) with a cozy, big city cafe feel and a friendly welcoming wholesome family running it with fast service! Supporting local business is extremely easy when it's this good!

    The Albuquerque Turkey Panini. If I could give a panini 6 stars, I would. Green chili mayo makes it amazing.

    We recently visited First Watch in Phoenix and had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Arely,…read morewas attentive, friendly, and absolutely fabulous. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked on us just the right amount. We ordered two BEC sandwiches, which sadly are no longer on the menu, but wow, they were delicious! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. Instead of the greens, we opted for the Million Dollar Potatoes and they were super yum! Such a tasty choice and the perfect addition to the meal. Great service, delicious food, and a lovely breakfast experience. Thank you, Arely, for taking such good care of us. We will definitely be back!

    Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston…read more This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

    The Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort has a beautiful setting with incredible mountain views, great…read morewalking areas, and a classic Arizona resort feel. The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and…read moreloyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
