    Haven't been here in over 12 years maybe all I remember is good things. I don't think I'm ever gonna come back. I'm sorry it's just not what it used to be. I heard my peach cobbler get microwaved and when I got home, I was grossed out by it just the way it looked didn't look pleasant. I just threw it all away. Waste of money for me

    Cat fish, fries, hush puppies, red beans

    Toma should be a bigger deal than it is. I've went here 3 times, and am finally writing a review. I've got something different all 3 times and it was all solid. Is it the best bbq? No. But it is HUGE portions, at a solid price, with great service and a very large menu. Where else can you get solid bbq, burgers, hot dogs, good catfish in Chandler? I actually got 3 meals out of the catfish dinner. It's simply huge! Those beans are insanely tasty too.

    Sign in the restaurant

    Incredible food. We have loved everything we have tried so far ! the buffalo wings are Incredible. The burgers are so so good! The pulled pork sandwich is mouth watering! To make it even better the desserts at the end ! They are all great but The key lime pie is my favorite and so delicious it tastes homemade! The employees also are all great people and give us amazing service every time we go in. The restaurants ambiance is BBQ and vintage style I love all the coke signs they have on the walls and it feels like a home cooked meal every time you get served. So good and will be back for sure soon!!

    At least they don't hide their napkins

    Adam and Kevin, Thank you guys!!! On my way from an event decided to stop here as it, didn't appear to be busy which I wanted food quickly and to go. It was super fast service!!! It's a Family establishment in which Adam gave me the history of the establishment in 2.2 seconds! That Kid is going places in life!!! I had the rib tips, Mac n cheese with baked beans(recommended by Adam) which also came with a bun. All of it was good! The ribs fell off of the bones and were way better without the sauce. I wasn't a fan of the BBQ sauce as it was vinegary but the food was good without it! I definitely recommend eating here. There's lots of free parking, a great location and has plenty of seating inside. The prices are comparable to any BBQ establishment so nothing to crazy but, is pretty standard for today's restaurants since covid. My only advice would be to wear mask and gloves to protect yourselves and the customers regardless of vaccinations.

    Fried catfish, fries, hush puppies, and corn bread.

    Straight fire you pay for what you get. It's hard to leave hungry. Onion Strings are a must have IMO. Fish is always good.

    Great experience! We stopped in for lunch after reading all the positive reviews and we were…read morepromptly greeted. No seats were available inside (good sign) so we went outside in the shaded patio with misters and found an open table. Our server, Oliver, was awesome! Very friendly and attentive and helpful with items on the menu. For drinks we ordered an old fashioned and a pint of church music. Both good choices. Since it's a burger joint, Hubs ordered the Balboa and I ordered the Yeti. Wow! My burger was to die for. The rosemary goat cheese with bacon jam was the perfect combo of tangy and sweet! Hubs was eating his burger without any complaints which is what you want. Both of us went with the hand cut fries. Crispy and very good! We can't wait to return. This place is legit!

    Pro-tip: The restaurant is on inKind so if you pay through the app, you get 20% cash back…read more Highlights: This small bar has probably the some of the best customer service I've ever received - they are so on top of things, thoughtful with your order and really make you feel at home. We asked if they could turn on the sound for the World Cup and they were more than willing to accommodate. I thought the Balboa burger was very good and I would have enjoyed the gas lamp burger better if the red pepper didn't keep slipping out. They don't charge you if you change fries for tots or even your burger patty for a chicken or turkey patty, which is really nice. Lowlights: I'm a big french fry eater and I didn't really like the fries here I found them too soft. The majority of their tables inside are barstools, which is a bit uncomfortable for me personally.

I sat myself and watched the end of the England vs France FIFA. I ordered the THE YETI (AKA THE G.O.A.T) ROSEMARY GOAT & CREAM CHEESE SPREAD, HOUSEMADE BACON JAM It was SO GOOD! I was a little disappointed that it was a smash burger instead of a thick, juicy patty, but nonetheless the flavors were impeccable. I added a fried egg on top too for $2 to make the burger even heftier. Wow I'm still thinking about it the day after. Also the fries were skinny and perfectly crispy!! But I also got the Beach Please cocktail (1800 Coconut Tequila, Passion Fruit Orange Guava Juice, Lime Juice, Triple Sec) but it wasn't what I expected. I couldn't really taste the Passion Fruit Orange Guava Juice, mostly coconut and lime. It was still a refreshing and cheap cocktail, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. My new favorite spot for burgers in the Phoenix metroplex, but I can't give it a full 5 stars as I was taken aback by the smash burger patty and didn't love my cocktail. Regardless, I still think highly of this spot and would definitely come back!

    Been on my radar to return after dining here for a Yelp event last year. This place can be busy,…read morebut thankfully, we were seated in a back area of the restaurant. I loved this little nook as it was quieter. What We Ordered: - Red Wine: My coworker ordered this, and remarked how much she enjoyed. Takes an edge off the work week, and a great pairing of catching up while I was onsite at the Phoenix office. - Curious Cocktail: The temperature of the day we dined was 111° and I needed something refreshing. They didn't have a Spritz on the menu, so I went with this. I did enjoy the flavor, but could only have one of these as pretty sweet. - Heirloom Tomato Toast: This was the perfect start to the meal, and the vibrancy of the heirloom tomatoes was refreshing. I really enjoyed the miso aioli as it really complimented the tomatoes. - Side of Crispy Potatoes: Sometimes you just need some carbs, and these hit the spot for a starter before entrees though it is listed as a side. - Dry Rub Chicken Wings: These were decent for wings, but I think I would refrain from ordering again as the sauce choices just weren't great. - Mercato Sourdough Pizza: My coworker throughly enjoyed this pizza, and it intrigued me to return to order one as I couldn't have this one (pesto). - Orange Olive Oil Cake: This was perfection! The salted honey whip + berry coulis helped balance out the denseness and tartness of the orange olive oil cake. Genuinely a contender for my favorite dessert this summer, and I've had a few when spending 15+ days traveling for work. I'd definitely would return here, and one of my new favorite spots in Downtown Chandler!

They spoke very positively about their visit, saying they had a great time and enjoyed good food and drinks. I felt like I had missed out. Then, on the second night I was in Chandler, we went back for a catered event in the back room of SanTan Brewing Company. It turns out I didn't miss out at all! I have to be honest: I'm not a beer drinker, so I didn't know what to expect from the experience, other than that my friends had been there two nights prior. But upon our arrival, we were immediately escorted past the many tables and the bar to an enclosed back room with tables set up for us, a buffet line, and a private bar. We had our own serving staff and bartender, and after a quick welcome, we were encouraged to go up and place our drink orders. I chose to stick with non-alcoholic drinks, though everyone who ordered drinks (mostly beer) left happy with their selections. When it came time for the food, we had a chicken and beef option, mashed potatoes and gravy, salad, vegetables, and assorted desserts. Everything was tasty!

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it.
