    Fried Chicken Platter

    The ambience was great, the service was good, great valet service, and wonderful looking food. That's where it ends. The food looked tasty but was underwhelming and over cooked. The top of my biscuit was somewhat fluffy while the bottom half was hard. The chicken was a bit dry and the gravy a bit salty.

    We came here on Saturday June 8, 2019 and it was a scorchin' hot day. I have been here twice so far. I thought we were going to sit in the inside dining area where there was A.C. but we were arranged to sit in the very back past the outdoor activities where there is just a huge fan blowing. So I had the 36-hour BBQ pork ribs plate. It was okay and personally I could make it better.l at home. My wife had the their version of fried chicken and I remembered it being good. We had the shareable nachos and soft pretzels and provolone fondue as the appetizer. Get the pretzels with provolone fondue. The drinks of the night were meh. It could have been an off day. All in all, Cullinary Dropout is pretty decent.

    Love the atmosphere at these locations, and they have an awesome looking banquet hall. The food was okay, but you definitely don't get what you pay for. My sister in law ordered a bowl of BUTTERNUT SQUASH CANNELLONI... she had maybe 4 noodles in it, which left most of the bowl completely empty. For a $15 dish, you should get more butternut squash for that cost, it costs next to nothing in the grocery store. My fiance and I shared a ITALIAN GRINDER and THE M.A.C. BURGER. Definitely go THE M.A.C. BURGER hands down. I expected the ITALIAN GRINDER to be warm and it just wasn't good cold. Atmosphere two thumbs up, food portions... two thumbs down. THE M.A.C. BURGER two thumbs up.

    This area is huge, with a store, 2 event rooms, restaurant, bar, games, and tons of seating (Indoor and outdoor) all in one. We went here on a warm Sunday afternoon, a perfect lightly breezy day to indulge in some light bites, drinks, and games while catching up with friends. The outdoor patio has multiple tables and tufted couch seating areas to accommodate any number of guests. Our party of 20+ people took up 3 couch areas and there was still room for a baby shower being hosted right next to us with an equally large number of people. Note that they do not accept reservations for large parties unless you are willing to go through their event planner, so if you are going to try to get a large group together here for a more informal outing come early to claim your space! The games offered here are ping pong, cornhole, and I did see a foosball table in the corner. There are about 4-5 tables of ping pong and an equal number of cornhole boards. You can rent the equipment with an ID, and it's first come first serve. The food and drinks are from Culinary Dropout, and we ordered a few appetizers to share. The pretzel fondue is always a sure winner, and I also enjoyed the pork belly nachos as well. The hummus had a beautiful presentation but was just OK to me. I also tried some potato chips which were delightfully crunchy and crispy, with a dip that tasted like a mix of ranch and French onion dip. The outdoor patio is semi-secluded with high wooden walls but enough open space to let you see the surrounding area. Oftentimes you will see either the Light Rail or freight trains go by. The music here is loud enough that you won't really hear anything going on outside the restaurant and when we were here they had a live performance by someone doing cover songs. Service was good and we were checked on as needed. Since all the servers here look like they stepped out of an Urban Outfitters ad and there isn't any standard dress for them, it's hard to tell who is working here and who is here as a paying customer. Overall, it's a nice area to chill, play games, and enjoy some tasty food.

    I am proud to be the first reviewer of the brand spanking new Yard location in Tempe which, by the way, does not actually hard open until December 9, 2014. Yesterday (Wednesday, December 3, 2014), one of my buddies heard that the new Tempe location of The Yard / Culinary Dropout was open for business and asked me if I was interested in checking it out. Being a somewhat regular patron of the location in Phoenix, and a fan of the concept in general, I happily accepted the invitation. We rounded up another buddy, and the three of us headed to The Yard at about 5pm. We arrived and entered via the (wet paint) front most entrance, walked down a long corridor, and were greeted with exactly what we expected from The Yard, a very cool open space with both an interior restaurant and covered exterior patio lounge setting with Yard games and a huge bar separating the two areas. A new addition to the concept, the massive patio space has it's own large bar at the end of the venue that can be closed off and turned into a separate private area. There were perhaps 60-70 people milling about, dining or enjoying cocktails. Considering that they have a capacity of nearly 800 patrons, it did not seem busy. We sat at the bar and were greeted by a bartender -- who through a roundabout conversation told us that they were not yet open for business! All of the people we saw eating, drinking and interacting were employees participating in real world training! "But", said the bartender, "here are some menus for you to take a look at -- hang out for just a moment and I'll be right back". Up walks Jason, the General Manager. Jason reiterates that the hard open is not until December 9th, but that our timing was impeccable. "Gentlemen, prepare yourselves to the the first real customers of the Yard and Culinary Dropout -- except with a catch...try a few of our specialty drinks, try some food, and it's all on the house tonight". We were then immediately greeted by our mixologist for the evening, Nick, who spent about 2 hours with us demonstrating his amazing knowledge of everything on the food and drink menu. We enjoyed the following cocktails -- On the "Two Handed Shandies" list, the Deviant Behavior. On the "Classic Dropouts" list, the Creature of Habit, Smashed Irishman and Every Which Way But Loose. On the "Light & Easy" list, the My Suffering Bastard. Each drink was perfectly balanced, and amazing. The three of us could not find a bad word to describe these drinks. Put them ALL on your "Must Try" list! In there somewhere, we noticed what looks like a "Jameson" beer tap handle with a big red Christmas bow on it. Inquiring minds must know!!! Result: We were each treated to a rocks glass of the Culinary Dropout's very own Christmas Jameson blend. Think Fireball....except more refined, more upscale, more sophisticated. Sexier. This will blow your taste buds away as you sip it. PUT THIS ON YOUR "MUST TRY" LIST! Also between other beverages, we were each treated to a sampling of the ON TAP Pinot Grigio. Very cool concept, and quite a good wine with a somewhat sweet aroma and a nice balanced finish. The ladies will love this. During all of this amazing cocktail time, Nick took the opportunity to put us together a massive Antipasti board. We received a huge portion of hot capicola and jamon iberico off the meats list. From the cheese list, the truffled crescenza, the prarie breeze cheddar along with a few accouterments. From the snacks list, the toasted ciabatta, garlic oil & balsamic. The iberico is imported from Spain and it is expensive. My girlfriend was in Madrid last month and returned with some iberico (oops -- sorry US Customs!), so I knew we were getting a treat. We were not disappointed! Nick even schooled us on the very expensive precision machine used to slice the meats. All I can say is...what an experience! To top it all off, we received a basket of the (now famous) soft pretzels & house made provalone fondue. I have to believe this will be their single most ordered item. Recreate this exact spread we received and you'll not go away hungry! In close -- Tempe will love this place. The sister location in Phoenix is wildly popular, and I fully expect that this new location in Tempe will have the effect of bringing just the right blend of the college contingent and the 20-40's crowd from Tempe. Sam Fox is a genius for picking this location. Jason the GM had a choice when my friends and I walked in last night thinking The Yard was open for business. He could have asked us to come back once they were open and we would have understood -- but instead he treated us to an extremely unique experience that we will not forget -- and we hope that they will not forget us. We will be back, probably on December 9, and we will bring friends!

    This place is huge! They have painted walls when you first walk through. Then you go through another set of doors and it's dark with candles lit on one side and the other side they have private rooms. The kitchen is on the side with the candles and you can see in. The bathrooms were very clean! It was also pretty neat that their is a peek-a-boo hand washing station for the men and women bathrooms, a mirror separated them. After the dark hallway you see a huge room with a bar (this part is still AC) then another room after that , it has cute lighting and is considered outside seating. They have misters so it wasn't to bad! They have awesome furniture throughout! After the seating they have fun games set up: ping pong, bag-o, and shuffle board. YOU HAVE TO BE 21 & OVER TO GET IN, have your ID Then they have another huge room with nice seating and another bar! FoOd: appetizers were all super good!!! The wings were my personal favorite, so crunchy and they melt in your mouth!! The sauce on he side was bomb! We also tried the pita bread with hummus, chips and dip (so good and creamy), the bbq nachos were also really delicious!! For food I had the MAC burger lettuce wrapped and it was so juicy! My sister had the same with the bun it was huge! (Pictured) the fish and chips smelled really good and it didn't look greasy at all! The others had salads that were huge and looked tasty. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. Super fun and they have live music inside!

    I am giving this four stars ' cuz the whole situation is perfect. Step One, get drunk. Really drunk. Step TWO , get food. Less drunk but still buzzed. Step THREE. hop on one of them Lime scooters and risk your life on the nearby streets. SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS NEGHBORHOOD AND BAR. Have fun finding the front door though. Best to ask people. Play games, make friends. The drinks are good, the food is fine, the vibe is the best.

    My colleagues' amazing prime rib dip.  Fresh prime rib Cooked perfectly.

It was a shortish walk but we ended up accidentally going the long way, my suggestion is to walk behind the Hot n Juicy Crawfish restaurant through the pretty walkway and you land right at Filthy Animal, which has DDG as part of it. We were led back to a secret-ish area and sat next to the entrance, it really is a beautiful space with a kinda groovy vibe. My friend and I wore sparkly ensembles to fit the vibe. It wasn't very busy on a Wednesday evening and we arrived during happy hour so we had the edamame hummus & chicken tendies plus two drinks each. I had a margarita & lemon drop, my friend had a Ramos gin fizz & bees knees. The hummus was excellent, I liked the pairing of the creamy texture with crispy plantain chips and sweet pomegranate pieces. You would think chicken tendies would be kind of boring but they were actually so delicious paired with a gochujang sauce and a spicy aioli sauce. We literally left no crumbs! The staff was very attentive and sweet, we were finished with food and drinks about 90 minutes later and most of that was us yapping.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

The food itself is pretty good, not fantastic but good enough for the kind of place it is. The games are fun and there is a good selection.

But the chicken... wow. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still being super juicy and tender inside, which is honestly hard to do. Every component of the dish worked together perfectly. Magnificent is genuinely the best word for it. And the lime icebox cake was the perfect ending to the meal, refreshing, creamy, flavorful, and not too heavy after dinner. Honestly, I'm sitting here craving the food again just looking back at the pictures I took. This is definitely one of those restaurants that sticks in your mind long after you leave.

    Our waitress was very kind and knowledgeable about gluten-free options (I have celiac disease),…read morewhich I really appreciated. The restaurant itself is very cute and clearly designed for photos, which matches what I saw on their Instagram. Service overall was fantastic. The food, however, was just okay. I ordered the burrata and fig plate and was told they'd replace the bread with apple slices. I received five very small slices of apple, and when the plate was set down the waitress said she'd get more if needed. I later noticed I was charged $2 for an additional five slices, which together didn't even amount to half an apple. Ironically, the bread that comes with the dish would have been far more substantial. The burrata was fine, but nothing memorable. My friend ordered the chicken and brussels sprouts and didn't even finish it before having the plate taken away. The flourless almond cake was the star, a bit salty on its own, but with the ice cream and whipped cream it was a delightful combo which were the highlight. Overall, this is a great spot for cocktails, ambiance, and photos, but the food is fairly mediocre compared to the setting.

    This is going to be long, because my experience at Postino was that good…read more I was in Tempe for work and found Postino Annex by accident. I had lunch there on Tuesday, 8/11 and was first greeted by a server whose name I THINK is Joey but maybe Joey is who relieved him when the shift change happened?? We'll call him Joey for the purposes of the review (side note, the server who stepped in was amazing and also deserves all the stars!). Joey was so knowledgable and sweet! He recommended the Chicken Chop salad and I will 100% be dreaming about that salad until I come back. Incredible service. Because I was so thrilled with lunch I came back for dinner and was greeted by Megan who is a literal DREAM of a hostess. I sat at the bar, which was without question the right move. Sav, THANK YOU! Sav's recommendations were perfect and she was a true delight to get to spend some time with. She's the kind of bartender that anticipates exactly what you need before you even know you need it. The cauliflower/raisin/caper combo was actual heaven and the lemon butter chicken with "spicy" marcona almonds....insane. I'm rarely finishing plates and I didn't leave a single bite. I am so impressed by the staff here. Food/Service/Ambiance, all of it was 10/10!! Looking forward to my next AZ visit solely because of Postino!
