    Beets Avocado Plant Based Bowl
    Savanna V.

    Grabbed lunch with my mom on a Saturday, hadn't been here in a long time! Ordering at the counter was easy, although we had to ask the cashier questions to clarify the components of the dishes we were interested in since the menu doesn't have descriptions. Food came out quick and was good. I got the beet and avocado bowl, which had plenty of both plus cabbage and quinoa. My mom got the Thai noodle salad, which had a lot of chicken. It was nice to sit inside out of the heat!

    I got the Buffalo Chicken Tender Caesar Salad Wrap. I always have to ask for no tomatoes, with every Caesar salad I get. I would suggest taking out the croutons and tomatoes from this particular dish because just the cheese, buffalo chicken tenders and salad are incredibly flavorful and crunchy on its own. The service here is always great. And the ambience is lovely.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak is delicious!  Added chimchurri sauce and my day went for good to GREAT

    What a lovely, open airy place to have delicious and healthy food with a WONDERFUL wait staff. This place seems like it's always busy, and I can attest why. The food and service is exceptional, and I feel the pricing is fair too. The desserts/cakes they have ready to go, look amazing! And I can't wait to return to try them. I ordered the Grilled Grass fed Steak plate with Brussels sprouts (delish) Mac and cheese (salt to taste) with garlic bread - and a Chicken plate. Both are delicious. Very tasty. I missed asking for the Chimchirri sauce for my grilled steak, and also needed other utensils. MARCO was incredibly attentive and kept the place clean...I was impressed. Great food, awesome service, and the refreshing experience. Glad to be back!

    Wanted some good fresh takeout. Urban nearby, eaten there in past. Got Thai chic salad and surf and turf with asparagus and Brussels sprouts. All tasty but loved the salad. Fresh and flavorful. Recommend

    I really like this place if you're trying to eat healthy this is a fantastic place to go. The condiments that they have on their little side bar consist of soy sauce and extra-virgin olive oil which I love I like all the fresh options that they have and healthy options.

    One of everything delicious desserts

    Food is to die for! Come to Queen Creek Arizona. We need fresh food. Service on point. I love the outdoors fire pit and our beach filled day! I drove 6 hrs and boom UP never disappoints-I take everyone here-when visiting

    Yummy healthy lunch.  Thank you God.

    Our first time at this UP location and ordering was easy, parking a bit full due to the Christmas shopping. Glad there was a parking attendant managing the full lot. I ordered a mixed beet salad. The presentation was pretty and overall it was a delicious salad, colorful. My boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich the food was a scale at 4 (from 1-10). Why 4 because the fried and chicken and fries were not hot, the batter was not seasoned, They only offer red garlic aioli and ketchup for a side sauce. Basically, this plate was very barren and not appetizing. He was highly disappointed. The service, questionable because we didn't have any. The cashier was not connecting with her clientele and Our server lacked warmth as she served us our dishes. Overall, I was very surprised because my experiences with UP has been wirh a positive note. Perhaps it can be the location. The Del Mar location the staff is friendlier, warmer and inviting.

    I was in the area & have been wanting to try this place. Did NOT disappoint! Friendly staff, good music, & spacious. The Blue Cheese Steak Sandwich was by far the best one I have ever had! I just had it today & can't stop thinking about it LOL. Definitely need to come back, soooo many delicious options that I can't wait to try!

    Four up with chicken tortilla soup, Chile lime corn ont the cob, beef braise, rainbow carrots and beets
    Christine S.

    The food and service is consistently good. It's all about fresh ingredients and a nice variety. We have a plate pass which gives a 20% discount on food. I enjoyed trying the new chicken tortilla soup and the Chile lime corn on the cob. There's something for everyone. On mother's Day, they made it special with roses and a dessert for the moms. l very nice touch!

    Thai Chicken Noodle Salad

    This is my new to go place for nutritious and fast meal on the go or option when I am not in the mood to cook a meal. The foods are fresh, health conscious made, filling, and tasty. Whole family loves them.

    Prager Bros is one of these sneaky good bakeries that keeps it simple and nails it!…read more We began by buying their sourdough breads which, if you're like me, is just an excuse to eat butter. Ok, PB sourdough stands on it's own AND gives me every excuse to eat some more butter! Toasts up nice no matter what you like from a soft to burnt scale. But the sourdough was the gateway drug for me. It's impossible to go into the Prager Bros bake shops and avoid seeing something even more additive. For me, the almond croissant just sings the perfect duet with a good cup of coffee. They rotate in some scones that are equally tempting. The honey walnut, limited offering, was my favorite until they stopped making it. The seasonal scone (date and coconut) is more than a fine substitution. They serve baguette sandwiches that are crispy crunchy and delicious. Highly recommend them.....the danger is you won't be able to drive by one. Heck, you get hooked enough, when you get in your car your Waze may prompt you with the time and distance to Prager Bros. Could be worse I suppose! You're welcome!

They don't have a huge selection but quality over quantity.

Points for serving Preston's Ginger Beer as well. For those who don't know, Preston's is a ginger beer store based in SD that sells inarguably the best ginger beer in the world. Dude has put his heart and soul into the craft of making clean, refreshing ginger beer and it's always a treat when I see a business carries Preston's. People complain about the small parking lot and location but I went for an early dinner (around 5:00 pm) and found there to be plentiful parking spaces in the small lot.
