    The staff at Aftermath truly made our Mother's Day celebration unforgettable. Accommodating a group…read moreof 10 people is no small task, yet everyone was so welcoming, attentive, and incredibly kind from start to finish. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the service made our entire family feel comfortable and cared for throughout the meal. As amazing as the hospitality was, the food completely stole the show. Every dish was spectacular, packed with flavor, and beautifully prepared. The absolute must-order is the jalapeño bacon burger -- perfectly cooked with just the right kick of spice and loaded with flavor in every bite. We'll definitely be returning for another incredible experience!

    My wife and I have been meaning to give Aftermath a try for quite some time, and we finally got…read morearound to it last night. It has a lovely ambiance, the food is good, and while we had a few issues with our food, the service was delightful. We also found some fun offers when booking through OpenTable. We arrived to Aftermath for an evening reservation on a Saturday night that we made through OpenTable. The parking spots in front were taken so we drove around to the back where there was plenty of parking. We found a parking spot right by the back door to the restaurant, which we had to pull to open (though that was easy to do). We then walked to the host stand and were seating right upon arrival. Our server Allyn was wonderful! She answered our many questions, gave some great recommendations, and made us feel right at home. We started out by ordering a cocktail and wanted something fruity, sweet, and made with vodka, and while nothing on the menu fit this request, we had Allyn work with the bartender to create a "Bartender's Choice" drink, which turned out to be a Blackberry Mint. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We then ordered Rigatoni Alla Vodka for my wife (consisting of imported rigatoni, Calabrian chili vodka sauce, parmesan, and basil) and an Aftermath Burger for me (consisting of 2 Arizona grass fed blend patties, velveeta, red onion, house pickles, toasted onion Kona bun, and Aftermath burger sauce with fries). We learned that the Rigatoni Alla Vodka has a spiciness level of 2 out of 5, though Allyn put in a request for my wife to get it at a 1 out of 5, and it was perfect. Our only issue is that when my dish arrived, the fries were actually cold and the burgers were barely lukewarm. It was busy at that time in the restaurant, and once I got the attention of someone to assist, they quickly brought out a replacement burger, which was delicious. The fries tasted almost as if they were nuked in a microwave, but they were still a good complement to the burger. Learn more about Aftermath at https://aftermathphoenix.com. They are open for lunch daily from 11-3 except for Friday and Saturday when they are open from 10-3. They are open daily for dinner from 4-10 PM. They have daily happy hour from 4-6 PM and live music every Sunday from 7-9 PM. Open Table also offers specials. The first time you book Aftermath through Open Table, you can get a drink for only a penny. After several visits, you then earn a free appetizer or dessert, and after several more visits, you earn a free burger. While we had the issue with the burger and fries temperature, Aftermath redeemed themselves by quickly replacing it, and otherwise, we had a very good experience. We do plan on visiting again in the near future.

    So I usually try a place a couple times before I review unless I have made my mind up of how good…read moreit was. We were craving a burger and looked up places and came across this place. I have to say I have passed this place a million times and was unaware it was even here. The area is not the best so honestly that's probably why I have drove by and not realized there's a restaurant in the center of the plaza. It's casual inside, an obvious comic fan and Jedi fan, which I found cool. I ordered the LB burger, my husband a double bacon burger and my son a carne asada burrito. My LB burger which has grilled onion tomato lettuce and an egg and cheese, was perfectly seasoned, a lot of times when you order a burger somewhere it lacks flavor, this did not. Probably one of the better burgers I have had in a long time. My husband enjoyed his burger and said the same thing about the seasoning being on point. My son enjoyed his burrito. Because of the reviews I came across most of them mentioned the cheesecake, naturally I had to order it and it was delicious. Service was good, and Chef Jose came out at the end to ask if everything was ok and how did we like it, well Jose we liked it very much and will definitely be coming back.

    Friendly and prompt service. All food was really good, but the onion rings are really good. We…read morehad strawberry cheese cake. Which. Was really good as well. Will likely come again when we pick our son up from college.
