    Ahi tuna poke appetizer - yes I am boring
    Vivian H.

    Always a solid choice in Phoenix to come here. This is a place for grown ups so make sure you're acting like an adult here. Met a buddy here for dinner last week and around 7:30pm on Thu night, it wasn't too busy at all. I like sitting at the bar (doesnt matter where I am) but I think my friend preferred a table so I opted for a nice hightop in the bar area. My friend had an iced tea and the roast chicken with the substituted baked potato. His dish was amazing, he gave me a bit of his chicken and man it was good, and the buttermilk pesto was divine! I had a wheat beer of some kind and the ahi tuna poke appetizer. Tuna was fresh and very good. Light dish and didnt feel heavy afterwards. I like this place a lot. Its classy, for the mature crowd, very good food and excellent service. I'll be back again no doubt.

    Holy deliciousness! I love, love, love the shrimp and grits with tasdo ham relish here! Soooo good! Hubby ordered the grilled salmon with a Caesar salad, and that was also fantastic-- perfectly cooked (medium). We had already started with a Cider Corps cider and an amaretto sour. This is my favorite of all the Common Ground Culinary restaurant group (The Collins, The Neighborly, etc). The decor is casual with a touch of rustic--right up my aesthetic alley. The bartender was our server, and she was a delight. We sat at a highschool near the bar with a perfect view of the World Cup game between Switzerland and Argentina. It made for a great evening. Thankfully I have some shrimp and grits left over for lunch tomorrow, and that's a good thing!

    Friendly service, a delicious grapefruit spritzer, and a lovely courtyard view made for a great experience. Perfect for a quick stop while exploring The Shops at Town & Country or meeting up with friends.

    I grabbed a quick lunch here at The Macintosh after shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's. This place is located in the Town and Country Shopping Center. Even though my time here was brief, I had a nice visit here. Service was great and food was delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the dining room. I didn't have time for drinks, but I hear they have a nice selection of drinks in their bar and a great happy hour. The Macintosh is described as a neighborhood restaurant that serves modern American and Southern cuisine. It was once called Grassroots Kitchen & Tap before it got rebranded. They have a diverse menu with a lot of different choices. Shrimp and Grits, Barbecued Beef Ribs, a Chicken Salad and Po Boy Sandwiches are some of the standouts. I settled on the Rotisserie Chicken which came with a side of onion rings. I'm a big pesto fan and love the buttermilk pesto for dipping. I had a nice time and look forward to a return visit. In addition to happy hour, The Macintosh has brunch on the weekends.

    So loved The Macintosh! The chef here serves up incredible food and so flavorful at that. We started with the brussel sprouts and the serving size alone was enough to fill us up. Everything about them was to die for. I got a chicken sandwich and the breading was light, crispy and delicious. One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a while. The staff are great and engage with good conversation. Fantastic vibes and great seating!

    Blackened shrimp risotto
    Ron R.

    We would be regulars if we lived closer. Outstanding happy hour. The service is very good. The food is very good with only a few clunkers. We ordered boat load of wings 3.5/5, shrimp remoulade 5/5, short rib 'creole' poutine 5/5, crispy chicken biscuit 4/5, 'cowboy' bbq sliders 4/5, blackened shrimp risotto 5/5 and dark chocolate brownie 5/5. Nice atmosphere and location.

    Brussels Sprouts
    Vanessa H.

    Excellent experience here a few weeks ago! Ambiance is casual but still intimate. Service was very good. I reviewed the menu before coming in and stuck with what I originally wanted: the Brussels sprouts to start and the chicken Waldorf salad as my entree. Wow! The Brussels sprouts were so good -- balsamic glaze, bacon and garlic all came together for an addicting appetizer. I probably could have eaten another portion by myself. For my entree, the salad was absolutely delicious and everything I love in a salad: fresh arugula tossed in a perfect amount of dressing and cheese with dried cranberry, red onion, radish and their rotisserie chicken. It was so exceptional that I came back soon after for a pick up order of the same salad while I was passing by. Everything here is fresh and very well done! Happy hour is a great opportunity as well. This place also offers daily specials -- definitely check it out when you are able to!

    The Macintosh never disappoints! We had a farewell lunch for a colleague today and everything was as expected....wonderful! It was 9 of us and we were immediately seated upon arrival, as we had a reservation. Our server was great and the managers who were helping out too. My sandwich was delicious and I'm glad they made my request for a grilled/rotisserie chicken breast happen. They brought out a special dessert for the honoree too. It's a great spot, in a perfect location and nice vibe.

    Key Lime Pie
    Stephanie K.

    The good: Shoestring Fries are hot & crisp with a housemade buttermilk pesto that's a fun take on traditional ranch dressing. A giant dollop of delicately sweetened fresh whip cream balances tart Key Lime Pie with a proper graham cracker crust. The odd: The concept focuses on Southern specialities (choice selection of bourbons, bartender recommends Blackened Redfish), but my Ahi Tuna Poke was out of place and overwhelmed with aioli. I'm looking forward to another chance, maybe for Happy Hour (snacks at reduced prices!), brunch, or at their sister restaurant - Lom Wong.

    Bacon Mac & Cheese
    Kyra M.

    This is a great spot come for lunch, the food is very filling and my favorite was the mac and cheese, it's in the shareables but you can definitely get it as a meal. Our waitress was extremely kind and was continuously checking on us which was great. We also sat outside and it is very shaded and a great ambiance.

    Key lime pie

    Stopped on our way to see a show at the Madison center. Let the waitress know that we are on a schedule. Atmosphere was nice and the place seemed well organized. We were there early so it wasn't crowded, but by the time we left it was. Food was excellent and the drinks were okay. My wife had the negroni and was very happy, I had an old fashioned and it was just average. My biggest issue is that the waitress was MIA more than she should have been knowing that we were on a schedule. She ended up recommending the key lime pie which was good, but by the time we got it we had to gulp and run. Sadly this took away from the whole experience and this might have been a five-star had that not happen.

    Don't know why I haven't reviewed sooner. I come here at least once a month. One of my favorite places. Service is always on point. Food is incredible. Lunch today.. awesome green iced tea. Husband had the Cajun fish sandwich. I had the orzo smoked salmon salad. Honestly my favorite. I need to do Happy Hour. The Collins Brothers Restaurants are always the best.

Excellent service, a Christmas tree upstairs, and no reservations required. Glad they were able to seat us considering we showed up without reservations.

Service was prompt, and we got our drinks by the time we had our mains decided. I got a glass of red to pair with my steak. My partner had a refreshing cocktail, but it was decent. The highlights of the night were the food. SO MUCH FOOD! And it was TERRIFIC! For starters we got the artichoke hummus. It sounded a bit weird, but all it was was regular hummus with 4 artichoke hearts that were crispy. The artichoke hearts were crisp, but moist, and I could have kept eating those all day. It comes with 1 pita bread. The server told us to order another and we did, turns out we needed it as the pita breads were quite small ($3 +). Sure only 3 bucks, but nickel and dime if you are spending $14 on an app... For mains I got the filet medium rare with a side of regular potatoes. My partner got the salmon skewer with a side of asparagus. Both the dishes were cooked perfectly and they were familiar dishes with a slightly exotic touch to it. Must be the middle eastern part of the restaurant. The steak came with a ganache or accompaniments of middle eastern sides. Can't recall what they were but they were great when I dipped my potatoes in them. It was sour, tart, acidic, kind of like middle eastern soy sauce. The server recommended it to us and we got it. The salmon skewer came with 5 decent sized pieces on it. Great for a small eater or someone who doesn't want their own meal. It too was delicious and had light touches of sauce or smoke on it. The asparagus is a favorite. It was cooked as usual, typical steak side and both me and my partner enjoyed it! For dessert, as it was my partners birthday the server comped the pound cake. While it was delicious, it was definitely the letdown of the meal. It was way too sweet including the layer of cream that it was doused with. The sweat cream wasn't necessary as the pound cake was incredibly sweet itself. Also, the pound cake wasn't soft like normal cake. It was quite dry once you peeled away the creme layer up top. I definitely should have gone with the Chocolate Ganache Tart. But their mess up worked in their favor. I'm definitely coming back for another meal at Flint!
