Our new favorite lunch or happy hour spot. The manager and our waitress Mary Lynn, were wonderful. We enjoyed chips and salsa, veggie quesadillas and shrimp tacos. All were spectacular and tasted very fresh! A nice selection of beer was available. Definitely adding it to our top places to go when we visit downtown Phoenix!

Dog friendly and the service is exceptional. We came here to enjoy championship Sunday as Man City had just won the league in dramatic fashion. The beer was cold and the olives were plentiful. Great vibes and eclectic art work inside.

What a gem of a patio! They have a great beer selection, with both local& options from faraway. My pear and blue cheese salad was amazing, also very much recommend the West Coast cocktail if you like tropical vibes. Their staff was really friendly and helpful, I'll definitely be back when I visit Phoenix again.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and always great staff to help and interact with.
We had Mary Lynn help us Thursday and she was the best. Always ready to grab a drink or ask a new guest if they needed something, but not overly hovering. Just perfect.
I love when we have birthdays and get together here.
The patio is huge and the tables are spaced far apart for social distancing.
I feel safe and cared for here; like family!

Ever wonder that about having a place where you can hang out outside in this wonderful weather eat a good lunch and have over 24 beers to choose from - this is the place. Happy hour is impressive that it’s Monday all day and from 11 to 6 all the other days. A buck off all draft beer which is $5 - I’d say there’s not many places that do this anymore.

The food here is really good in the pictures you see shrimp tacos, veggie tacos and a Turkey sandwich. The Turkey sandwich was my favorite it’s called the Jive Turkey. I loved the jalapeño cream cheese that was used on the sandwich. The ambiance was really nice it’s definitely a place I’d recommended you taking a date on. Fellas if you’re trying to have a good night with that lady you’ve been trying to meet for the last 32 weeks from Hinge, Tinder or whatever site you use The Main Ingredient is your place! The food and beverages are cost affective so you won’t spend an arm and a leg. What you see in the three pictures was only $46. Not bad for good food, amazing customer service and good music. You won’t be disappointed and it’s Pet friendly! What are you waiting for???? Did you order yet??? Go to the main ingredient and have a good time!

Travel Review Alert! Ok, two words: Connor & Elizabeth. The atmosphere is cute, and cozy, with the perfect amount of trendy: like not vintage but not avant-garde. The decor is unique yet it all ties in together to help you catch the vibe. The food is DANK (as you can see by my empty bloody). The BLT is awesome, and so is the Sheridan. Maybe because basically everything is made from scratch here. The chef has worked here for 10 years, and they even roast their own Turkey meat. But the best parts of our experience by far were Connor our server and Elizabeth our hostess extraordinaire. We’re from out of town and they gave us so much kindness and attention. Connor recommended so many spots in Phoenix and an AWESOME entree and he was so kind and patient and good humored. They were accommodating the entire time and he kept my needs and preferences in mind throughout the entire meal. Definitely somewhere to add to your list!! A yummy, charming, unique spot perfect for brunch that should not be missed!

A very cozy atmosphere, a back yard relaxed vibe. The salty hog is a must starter for a Sunday brunch experience. The steak sandwich w blue cheese was an amazing way to get the taste buds into over drive. Then to finish off was the Duke margarita,, can't wait for the next experience here. Highly recommended !! Thank you for the wonderful day!

If I were to move to Phoenix, I would need to secure a residence nearby this spot. Yes, I love the sandwiches that much! I've only had the opportunity to indulge a few times but each time, I've not been disappointed. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a beer and some top tier sandwiches. Great sized patio for dining outside, attentive staff, and good vibes.

I want to like this place more than I do. Cute spot, nice patio, food and beer selection is okay. One review claimed "best cobb salad in town", it wasn't bad but it was far from the best. Parking is extremely limited as was seating which is how I ended up on the patio. They have misters spraying to keep it cool out there which was nice but maybe not the most responsible thing to have in a 2 year drought. I'm torn because this should probably be a 3 star or less but, again, I really do want to like this place more than I do.
