    Biscuits & Gravy w/ Jalapeño bacon

    The portions here were amazing, for the price you definitely get enough foods worth! The staff was friendly and interacted with us just enough which I always love. The place was pretty quiet on a Sunday afternoon which was surprising. Love the bookstore next door!

    Avocado toast with fried egg and potatoes
    Stephanie J.

    Great selection of vegan and vegetarian options. The avocado toast was good, but nothing spectacular. The breakfast potatoes were great. I came in on a Wednesday morning and was the only customer but still felt rushed. I do want to preference that I'm not from Arizona so maybe this is typical for service standards but I wasn't told of any specials or given any recommendations. Pretty much just handed a menu and given two minutes to decide what to order. The actual establishment is super cute and all the owl decorations are adorable. I do want to go back and give it another try. The mushroom omelette sounds great.

    I've been a regular at this cute restaurant for many years, predominantly for brunch, and never had a bad experience. The food is always perfect, and I love that there are many vegetarian options. Love the owl theme and all the trinkets everywhere. Service is consistently good. It's a very cute place, and I always hop over to Changing Hands Bookstore after eating to browse around. Always plenty of parking available.

    Avocado Toast

    Service was great -- super friendly. The space is also really nice, and the attached bookstore was a fun bonus to browse while we waited. Food was just okay. It came out pretty fast, which was nice, but it felt a little rushed. I got the avocado toast and was expecting something crispy and toasty... but it was basically avocado on soft, untoasted bread. My partner's egg breakfast came with an English muffin that also wasn't toasted. Nothing terrible, just a little underwhelming on the toast front. Great vibes and service though!

    Went today for breakfast. Quickly seated and got great service. The food was very tasty. I could've easily just had one pancake. They are super filling and perfectly cooked. Would totally go back again for breakfast

    I met with some friends for brunch before work and we had to try this spot out! This has been on my list to visit for a long time and it did not disappoint! The service was quick and the food was delicious. There was plenty of food for this bowl as well, it was quite filling. The potatoes and veggies were magnificent. There were so many owls, you can buy any one of them! I debated on buying a snowy owl from this place, I may just have to go back and buy one. I highly recommend coming here and eating at this warm & cozy restaurant spot!

    Really enjoyed this breakfast a lot. The staff was so friendly and gave us our food so quickly. I ordered a two egg breakfast and it was yummy. The eggs were a bit overcooked but it was still good. The cinnamon roll is a must. We shared one at our table and it was so good! They also do. Free birthday cinnamon roll. They also have bathrooms and lots of seating. I loved how everything was purchasable in the restaurant room from chairs to plates.

    Tried for the first time and was delicious, but for a regular breakfast-not sure you can mess it up. 2 eggs scrambled well, 2 sausage (little burnt), home fries and English muffin. I had coffee( smooth and got a to go cup for the ride home). Ended up buying a coffee mug just cause. $33+tip. Nice decor, owls everywhere, music in the background and service was great.

    Family raved about this café in Tucson so I was delighted to see one in Phoenix close to favorite shops (Dollar Tree and Target!). The décor is interesting. Obviously, owls are prominent in their decorating scheme but everything (including the overhead lights) has a price tag on it. It's a very colorful, noisy, casual atmosphere. We got the best of both worlds on a mild Saturday morning when we were seated right next to the patio in a wide doorway that kept the shade on us but let us enjoy the fresh air. The menu has a wide variety of breakfast /lunch items that appear to take most dietary restrictions into consideration. I had a really tasty beet salad that combined beets, blueberries, cherries and goat cheese over some fresh greens. My guest had the fried chicken sandwich and some of her French Fries. I accidentally ate some of them. Service was friendly, the food came out quickly and we enjoyed the environment. I felt it was a good value for the price.

    I had been to the Flag location several years ago and was super excited to have a location a bit closer to tucson! While in phx for a late sunday concert- we absolutely needed yummy body fuel the next morning! My gal pal is vegan so this was a no-brainer pick for us since they have a dedicated vegan menu! As a non-veg I still ordered the vegan chorizo burrito because it is THAT good! Packed with veggies (carrots, Brussels, zucchini, and more), just egg, soyrizo, and perfectly seasoned potatoes into a vegan tortilla! AMAZING! Staff were super chill - as seems to be the toasted owl way- and of course the entire place is decked to the teeth with adorable owlish ephemera and collectables (all for sale even)!

    Locally owned cafe serving an American menu for breakfast and lunch, with vegan options located in The Newton. Ham N Cheese Omelette (3 eggs, ham & white cheeder) served with potatoes and your choice of bread, I got the sourdough. Service was friendly and fast. The place was clean, a lot of seating, and owl are everywhere (super cute).

The layout is a bit challenging since the menu board faces perpendicular to where you enter. When I arrived a group were craning their necks to read the options. This is not fancy. My order was called and I had the charcoal grilled fish and my friend had the classic burger . We also split the chili fries. Both came on paper fry containers and a cafeteria style tray. There was a large condiments stand with wagon wheels. It is similar to chuckbox but much larger. The food was decent and the fish cooked correctly. I apologize for no pics, we were engaged in a stimulating conversation. People put food first but in today's workd, we need to spend more time talking and listening to one another. I completely forgot to take pics of the food. Overall, it is a simple smashed style of burger patty. The ambiance is lower lighting with a western aged setting. Think traditional western style. It was my first time and while not my preferred style of burger, the food is decent. This is a place that offers customizable food, TV's and it was not too noisy. The counter person was extremely helpful in offering insights and options. Enjoy your experience and wear your boots and Cowboy hat.

    The Chuck Box is an extremely well known and popular Gem located at the heart of the ASU Tempe…read moreCampus. It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

    After reading the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they weren't met. This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
