Really friendly staff. Great ambiance. But nothing like the BBQ from St. Louis. Chopped brisket in sauce rather flavorless & without texture. Ribs were fine. Slaw good - not over sauced Cafeteria style with indoor & fun outdoor seating. Great for kids

We had a wonderful meal and great service at The Keg in Gilbert. The teriyaki sirloin was excellent and I enjoyed the twice baked potato. Thumbs up.

We did have to wait for some time to get our table, but it was worth the wait. There were three of us and everyone enjoyed their food. We had an order of the corned beef hash, breakfast tacos, and an omelette with green chili sauce. All of the dishes were yummy. I would definitely go back!!!
6. Joe's Farm Grill

no matter when or why I come to Joe's Farm Grill, the food is always up to standard and makes me wish I lived closer. The offerings are fresh and slightly different than what is typically available in a similar establishment. I love to check out Guy Fieri's Triple D places and this is one I knew about and had eaten at previously. You will not be disappointed. It is a fun place to bring kids and in all but the summer months, eating outside is pleasant with tons of shady trees around. I love the grilled salmon but the burgers are yummy too. I have yet to try anything here that was not delicious!

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for years but with us living in North Phoenix, it is hard to get over to Gilbert. We were in the area for an event, and decided to have lunch at the Liberty Market. I lived in Gilbert over 20 years ago and had not been back to the area for about 10 years. I was amazed at how much the area has grown, including the market. It is such a nice restaurant and the people that work there are so nice and friendly. I went into the restaurant while my husband parked and I started to look at a menu. A nice lady came over and offered assistance. She let me know that we could stand in line and order and then they would find us a table or we could just sit at the bar and we would be served there. When my husband came in, we decided to sit at the bar. The people that were working behind the bar, were all very nice. I ordered The Serious Grilled Cheese and I had a side of Rice Pudding. My husband ordered a plain burger with a side of the house made chips. We were both speechless as to how good our meals were. I love grilled cheese and this is probably the best grilled cheese I have ever had. 3 types of cheese, mayo and served on a bread that I only usually able to get in Puerto Rico, I was in heaven. The rice pudding was also delicious. My husband is a huge burger fan and felt the burger was very good as were the chips, which I tasted and agree were very good. I so wish this restaurant were closer to where we live as we would definitely be regulars. We may just have to make the almost hour trip there another day, because the food is so amazing.

Reviewed By Alzira Z - Brazil
PROs-
-great selections of appetizers, brunch options and salads
-DELICIOUS FOOD
-GREAT Happy hour prices
-Good selection of wine
CONS-
-unfriendly hostess- smile, welcome your paying customer with a SMILE
-bar service WAY TOO SLOW
-ineffective instant message system while waiting for a table. First, I can't hear my phone due to the VERY LOUD noise and I did not see the text. I go up to hostess station and hostess tells me she waited 5 minutes and gave our table to the next person in line! ARE YOU SERIOUS after waiting 35 minutes? TERRIBLE SYSTEM and NOT EFFECTIVE. Luckily, manager/owner Bob found a table immediately! So great response to an unfortunate situation!
-VERY LOUD and NOISY. How about putting up some noise abatement panels to help reduce the noise. The music was WAY TOO LOUD plus kids crying and screaming is not conducive to a night brunch! Noise abatement panels would help!
-Unfriendly bar service. Plus I was served a bad tasting red wine. I sent it back and no apology from the server. She acted as though I was bothering her. Red wine does not last more than 1 day so don't serve BAD WINE!!!
-VERY SLOW WIFI
-SERVE better cheeses on your Cheese board and not the cheaper soft cheeses! Also, explain what the cheeses are and where they come from!
-NO Bloody Marys!!!
All in all though, it's a nice place but with these small improvements it could be an even better place!
9. Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co.
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 256 reviews
Reviewed By SKOKRO - Danville, California
Arizona Wilderness is a very interesting-lots of Wood and very log cabin wilderness feel.
Huge selection of taps-17 at my visit with groupings of American pub ales, Saisons, Monastic/Belgian Style and Sours.
If you are looking for really unique beer-this is the place-Brown ales with pecans, Porter with Cinnamon and Dates, saison with butternut squash and cinnamon, saison with rosehips, a wit with beets, a wassail with apples and cider spices and a Belgian with carrots.
Some were fantastic like the Pecan Brown Ale and the Belgian Dubbel. Some were unique but good, like the Butternut squash saison, and some were unique but am acquired taste like the Wet Beaver Wit with beers-which I found like the name a bit funky and harsh for a wit.
Not of a haul from Phoenix but well worth the experience and breadth of flavors.

From the reception to our departure and everything in between this place was impressive. Very hip place in Old Town Gilbert.
Neat an original cocktail selection along with all the regular beers and drinks anyone can ask for. Margaritas are very good.
Fairly wide variety of tacos will please all different tastes. We tried the chicken, fried fish, and braised beef. All three were excellent.
We were there for lunch but it is easy to assume that on a warm Friday evening this place must be booming. The service was over-the-top by all staff. Would recommend it without any hesitation to anyone and we will go back.
