    Wild Fork is a new Meat and Seafood Market in Ahwatukee, so I was excited to check it out as part of a YES Yelp event! I wasn't sure what to expect before I arrived but there was a description of sampling some surf and turf and a scavenger hunt. When I arrived there was a small line to check-in and I received a choice of gifts (can always use another large bag!) and an Olipop (first time trying one- cream soda mmmmm good) They were grilling plates with a few different samples outside- BBQ ribs, beef tenderloin with side bites of plantain and potato. I heard there were other foods like turkey and salmon inside but the station was not active when I was inside the shop looking around and crushing the scavenger hunt (with the help of a few friendly elites!). I've been to a few meat shops near me in Gilbert but this store was about 2-3x the size. They really did a great job with the interior! It was open and spacious between freezers and sections. The store was well-lit without being blinding. The signage was great- larger fonts, different colors to indicate different cuts of meat and seafood. The freezer sections had good translucent doors so you could easily see contents. The prices and descriptions were easy to read. Besides cuts of beef/pork/veal/poultry/seafood, they also had exotic proteins like ostrich and alligator. Usually not my go-to but great for others who can't these items elsewhere. The employees were friendly and helpful and looked to be genuinely excited to talk to us about their business. The best part of the night was saying hello to a few familiar faces and meeting a handful of elites I've not met before. I wish some of these events had more of an icebreaker or interactive game to help us meet each other better. The only downside was the event was quite crowded with limited tables. Everyone was had their food and swag and no real place to sit it down. There was no seating for people who may not have wanted to stand for 1-2hrs or have mobility issues. Overall, this was another great experience and I'm thankful for the invite. Thanks Wild Fork and thanks Yelp/YES for the fun evening!

    Love when there are events that shine a spotlight on naturally sourced, well-raised meat brands. Wild Fork Market, located in Ahwatukee at the buzzing Ray & 202 intersection, is hard to miss. The parking is plentiful and the store itself is huge. We were treated to a tasting of pork ribs with plantains and beef with mashed potatoes, along with some fun, flavorful sodas. I chose the pork, and it was grilled BBQ perfection -- tender, smoky, and beautifully paired with the fried plantain. Inside, the selection surprised me in the best way. They carry everything: poultry, beef, lamb, seafood, veal, and even specialty meats like elk and rabbit. There's a wide array of wild-caught and ethically farmed options, all clearly labeled. Pricing is reasonable for the quality, and the variety makes it an easy one-stop shop for any meal plan. Thank you, Yelp, for introducing us to this spot -- definitely worth a bookmark and a future visit!

    This was a great showcase for Wild Fork, as it allowed them to share with Elite Yelpers on all the different types of premium meats and seafood they carry. I like that we were able to collect and bring in donations of canned goods to give back to the community. Once I scanned to participate in the scavenger hunt, (touche), a clever way to get us all involved with exploring the store. Found some interesting items, such as kangaroo, mini pigs, and more that will definitely have me returning back. I did pick up and purchase some Memphis-style barbecue sauce along with Carolina BBQ sauce as I'm preparing for a pre-holiday cookout. Also picked up some organic culinary purée that they had in the 50% off basket. Little Miss BBQ prepared the food items themselves, which consisted of tenderloin and ribs. The ribs are on point and I like the tenderloin as it was done more the way I like (fatty and chuey vs lean and dry) but still solid. A few more pop-up tables outside would've helped, but no complaint as I was being the social butterfly, reconnecting and connecting with people all throughout the event.

    This place opened in my former stomping grounds of Ahwatukee & it's a pretty cool store. You can find all sorts of meats, seafoods, meal items, condiments, & even dessert here! Very good prices on many items here & they do carry exotic meats like alligator, kangaroo, & wild boar, just to name a few. The crew here is very informative & helpful & they even held a scavenger hunt for us! Two of my Yelpie pals won amazing meal packages! We got swag too so I added a cool pot holder to my kitchen stuff. Bailey had cute Yelp stress balls for us & Yelpies donated food items. A win-win for all who attended. We also got to try a rib & potatoes & also tender loin & plantains! Yummy grub as we checked out this specialty store! Plus a dj entertained us as well! Thank you so much to Bailey, Franceska, Yelp, & Wild Fork Meat & Seafood Market for this fun & tasty event!

    I was expecting this to be a restaurant, but it turned out to be a grocery store I'd never heard of before -- and honestly, that was a pleasant surprise! They have every type of meat you could imagine, from steaks to seafood, and some of their prices are definitely worth shopping for. The store is clean, well-organized, and reminds me of a mix between Aldi and WinCo. Jimmy was awesome -- he went out of his way to introduce himself and explain the products, share some history behind them, and even break down the pricing. What a great employee! He was working hard and absolutely deserves a raise (and maybe a year off with paid vacation ). He really sold me on the store -- not that it needed selling after I saw how great it was! The DJ was playing great music, and the BBQ ribs with au gratin potatoes were . The rib sauce was incredible -- honestly, one of the best I've ever tasted. Everyone there was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Thanks for the swag, too! And of course, Bailey always does an amazing job hosting these events. Thanks for having me -- I'll definitely be back to shop! The location is perfect and this is a great place to shop for the holidays!

    Busy event

    This was a pretty nice Yelp Elite event. I didn't leave hungry--there was plenty of good food for everyone, and the little game where you had to answer questions by looking around the store was fun. I did think it was going to be more of a sit-down meal, but that was my own misunderstanding, I suppose. I wish there had been areas to sit down even with the samples, as everyone was just kind of holding plates and milling about eating. Overall, it wasn't the best Yelp event I've been to, but it was a nice opportunity to have some good food and experience a new business.

    This was such a unique and fun event! I love that they also partnered with Hope for Hunger food drive, and seemed to have collected quite a bit of donations for the upcoming holidays! Free canvas tote bags were given out for people that brought donations. I've driven by Wild Fork a few times and was excited to take part in this event, especially looking forward to checking out what kind of "Wild" products they sold. The scavenger hunt was fun, and helped me learn more about the business and what they offer. One of the unique items they carried was kangaroo, which was interesting, and I might have to go back and try it! The ribs were INCREDIBLE, very tender and flavorful. I also LOVED the plantains on the side. At one point they also had beignets which were a nice sweet treat! The Olipop drinks were refreshing, I'm so glad they had those available to drink, they're my favorite. Thank you Bailey, and all of the people that helped put this successful event on! I had so much fun and can't wait to come back and shop.

    Amazing!

    One of the many reasons that I love being a Yelp Elite is because I discover things that I normally wouldn't on my own. This event is a prime example of that! I live just about 2 miles away from the place and I never knew it existed. I have a Costco membership and like to shop at Trader Joe's, sprouts, Whole Foods, but it's too big for me when I just wanna walk in and walk out and get some protein. I had no idea that something like this existed and I was pleasantly surprised! My parents own restaurants back east, and so I was more than delighted to see that I was able to buy Spanish octopus, mussels in white wine sauce, and even some dog treats that were really healthy for my dog, not to mention on sale. I will definitely be coming back here on a biweekly basis to pick up my protein and sample the exotic meats. The last time I had kangaroo was in 2011 when I went to Australia had no idea that I could get it in Arizona! I highly recommend this place. There's so many options for proteins. I also bought the bacon cheddar burgers with the seasoned brioche buns --(there goes my summer 2027 body) Honestly, thank you to Bailey and all of the other Yelp employees that made this event happen. I am seriously so lucky to be part of this community and discover more and more local gems along the way.

    This evening was lovely. The staff were wonderful, warm and attentive. Jimmy inside was such a joy! Enjoyed the samples! Would have loved to try a few more of the diversity of options offered as there were many fun things inside! Loved the tenderloin with cream and cheese gratins. Very tender. Loved the chimichuri sauce with it! The smoked rib with barbecue sauce and plantain was okay, not my favorite because I don't love BBQ sauce but I know others loved it so probably personal taste. They ran out of salmon and beignets pretty early. The turkey meal in a bag was a bit bland but an interesting idea. I was pleasantly delighted by the grape flavored probiotic soda! So good! The environment was pleasant, well lit, beautifully organized inside. Loved the variety of items from common and unique meats to seafood, frozen foods, and even pet treats that looked delectable! I bought a few treats for myself to support the business, including frozen squid, ground turkey, and lemon pepper to enjoy at home! Everyone was wonderful as always. The scavenger hunt was awesome and prizes very generous! I would have loved seats and more tables for folks to mingle and enjoy bites but otherwise lovely event as always. Thank you Bailey, Yelpie staff, Wild Fork teams and all others involved for coming together to introduce us to another wonderful business!

    Wild Fork Foods is a great spot for high quality frozen meats, seafood, and more, perfect for picking up in store or ordering for delivery with products that defrost in minutes. At today's event, I tried several items, and the ribs with barbecue sauce were by far the highlight of the night, super tender with the perfect smoky sweet flavor. The Brazilian peeled tenderloin had great texture and quality, though I personally would have liked a bit more chimichurri for extra flavor. The turkey in a bag and blackened salmon were also solid choices and nicely prepared. For dessert, the beignets were delicious, especially the chocolate one, though the berry flavor was also really good. The employees were friendly, helpful, and made navigating the store easy. Overall, I would definitely come back, great food, great service, and a fun experience!

    Great event at an interesting store! It is very clean and well organized and I'll definitely be back to grab some ground beef. The food from Little Miss was great and I was impressed that they get their meat from Wild Fork. Thanks to Bailey and the rest of the crew for putting on this fun event!

    Betty L.

    Interesting event. Haven't been to one like this before. We checked in at the front and donated our food for charity. It's a nice holiday feeling to donate. After that, they had a table with some small goodies like a reusable bag or a glass cup or some other items. You could choose one give away item. They had a grill out front where they grilled some meats. The meats included some small snack sized ribs and steak. I think I could taste a lot of the cooking gas in the steak meat. There were mashed potatoes and plantains also on the respective snack plates. Inside, they had chocolate dessert puff donut. There was also another flavor too. I think it was a fruit flavor. Thank you to Yelp and Wild Foods. I enjoyed trying out the wild foods foods and seeing their store. Congrats to the winners of the scavenger hunt event who got full sized products of the samples we had.

    I did not know what I was expecting as I walked up to Wild Fork. I was not sure if it was a restaurant or a market. And it turned out to be an actual mini supermarket! I was impressed as soon as I walked in to see so many different kinds of meats and seafood. I was just enjoying and exploring, and really enjoyed each moment. The staff made it extra special as they were super kind, helpful, and openly answered questions. I really enjoyed the samples, especially the brazilian tenderloin with chimichurri seasoning. It had a great flavor and it made me keep going back for more. I would have loved to be one of the raffle winners for the entire meal, but getting a sample was amazing and had made me want to go back especially once I move back to the Phoenix area! Thank you again Yelp and Wild Fork for an amazing night! I can't wait for the next event!!

    Was invited as a judge through Yelp for the food festival and had high expectations from what was…read morelisted on their website and extensive list of food vendors they had advertised. We (Yelp Elite) met the coordinator in order to listen to information on directions on how to sample food vendors and vote. It was put simply that there were three lines per vendor and that we could get samples by simply letting the vendors know we were guest judges. We then would vote on our favorite vendors and submit our results after all the given tickets were used up. The event was simply put as horrible and highly unorganized. Most vendors were unprofessional in denying such line for samples or didn't participate in the "contest". Besides that, there was not as many vendors as advertised and seemed to be a bait for a higher turn out for the festival. Also, it's staff did not contain enough knowledge to direct us anywhere or about anything related to the event. It was a mess. I do have to mention that The Panini Guys and Longhorn Steakhouse were the only vendors who participated in the sampling as well as showing some form of respect towards us judges. As mentioned before, most vendors were unprofessional in their responses and condescending. Poorly coordinated, planned and lacked in many aspects. Probably the saddest excuse for something they call a Street Food Festival. Many other guests who had purchased VIP wristbands realized they paid more for nothing VIP and that it was overheard that many wanted refunds for their tickets. Let's just say, I will not be returning- even if offered as a guest judge.

    As a yelp judge for this event, I had an okay experience because I was sampling for free and was…read moresometimes given the chance to cut the long lines to sample. Also, having not attended any yelp elite related events, I had minimal to zero expectations. However, if I was not a yelp elite and had decided to attend the event and purchase a food pass, I would have been so upset. First of all, the sizes of the food samples were extremely tiny - oftentimes the size of my two thumbs. The price of the food definitely did not justify the quantity that customers were given. For the "Foodie Pass" tasting option, $28 gives you 10 tickets - that's an average of $2.80 I could have paid and actually what others were paying for very small portions. An hour after the festival had begun, vendors were beginning to run out of samples and even dishes and cups to put the samples in. Furthermore, there was supposed to be three lines at each vendor, to differentiate between people getting samples, actual food, or express, but more often than not, there was just one long line. That was really silly. I think the lack of communication amongst the event organizers, volunteer staff, vendors, and festival goers was a big issue. So, with the judging, yelpers weren't informed about where to meet initially, that we would be taped, and that even though the event organizer told us to cut the line, some vendors wouldn't let us do so. The event website was definitely misleading. Overall, it was a bit of a mess.

Just so happened to be in town this weekend, and they were able to get into the Festival, so we met up. Veteran Elite Vlad and his friend KJ were also able to join us for the evening. This location could not have been more perfect. The park was well organized and there were food trucks lined up along the back parking lot on W. Paradise Lane. I liked that the food trucks were all in one area vs. being scattered in different places. Merchant vendors were also in attendance and nicely spread out. I arrived shortly after 5:30 pm, and David & Eva were already there. We waited for Vlad and KJ before making our way to the check-in area to get our lantern kits. Once we got the kits, we found a spot on the grass to lay out our blankets that came with the "date night kit." The blanket was thin (as expected), but it had a nice turquoise print on it! 3 of us went to grab food while the other 2 held down our space. Once we got our food, we scarfed it down at our seating area and then went to work decorating our individual lanterns. I brought extra markers because I had a feeling the kit would only come with 1 color, which it did. The food lines were getting long, so by the time I got to decorating my lantern, the sun was starting to go down so I had to rush! We all got ours finished in time to get pics together with them before we set them afloat in the water. What a sight to see! There were so many lanterns floating on the water, it was absolutely beautiful. I decided to decorate 2 sides of my lantern for friends who have gone on to the next life, one to represent my current life and all of the good things happening in it, and of course, a special THANK YOU to Yelp Phoenix and the Water Lantern Festival. If I had more time it would have looked better, but time was of the essence, lol. In any case, this event was amazing and I am honored to have attended it with a great bunch of friends! Parking was pretty easy as well (no fees, yay)! Thank you to Yelp Phoenix CM Bailey, the Water Lantern Festival organizers, David, Eva, Vlad and KJ for a wonderful evening! =)

Luckily, we brought water for the kiddos. Got the unlimited rides wrist band for my 4 year old and let him run amuck. He had a blast. Which is good because nobody else did. We ended up leaving pretty early because we were starving and they had AGAIN run out of tickets and the lines weren't moving. Took a while to figure out how to get out of the place since it was set up like a maze. Got to my car which was boxed in along with 3 or 4 other cars in the lot we were in. Police were there to help some people out and after a 47 pt turn I was able to escape the lot, but it was truly nightmare inducing with the overly tired 4 year old and hungry 5 month old. Actually, hungry everyone. Thankfully, I had gotten free tickets so I wasn't out anything but the wrist band. Hopefully they can get some organization together before next year! It has the potential to be a really fun event, but they need to overhaul the drink/food ticket and parking lot situation.

    Highlights of the event:…read more Coconut Shrimp Flatbreads Meeting cool new Elites Learning the full first verse of the Kookaburra song and singing it 7-10 times during the evening (at one point, participating in a lovely duet with Teresa S.) Outback was a great setting to kick back and munch on happy hour bar food and drinks. The service was extraordinary. Every server was nice and attentive, sometimes offering extra samples. For being a u-shaped bar, it was easy to bounce around with a Bingo card, eliciting funny tasks or interesting facts from fellow Yelpers. I had a great time at my table, enjoying the food and company. I love going to Outback already, so knowing about the inexpensive and attractive happy hour menu is all the more reason to come back, and pull up to the bar! Thanks to Lindsey for hosting another wonderful occasion to imbibe and socialize. A "g'day" to Outback for allowing us rowdy kids into your place of business. And, thanks to Yelp for bringing together such great people!

I was seated with a great group of people at one of the booths. We were able to sample many food items like flatbreads, onion blossoms, coconut shrimp, nachos, mushrooms and plenty others. I have to say, the coconut shrimp was probably my least favorite. My favorite were the 2 flatbreads that were brought out. They were tasty, crunchy and very flavorful. The service there was great - they were very prompt, friendly and attentive. We also were served 2 alcoholic beverages - I opted for 2 glasses of their moscato wine which I probably could have drank the whole bottle if given the option. It was delish! Thank you again for a great event, Lindsey!
