Shawn Partridge

Great date spot to take a girl you met online. She'll invite you to her place afterwards.. Things will go well ! Then she'll start dating a bartender days later. Really enjoyed the seasoned potatoes .

Ricky Potts

The original chopped salad is amazing. There are a ton of ingredients all served in a line . Choose from smoked salmon or grilled chicken . Oh, and it's mixed table side. Yummy!

Scott

Everything. I know that seems very general, but I've enjoyed everything I've ever gotten here. The mixed drinks are amazing & the food is excellent. If you have a little time, ask about the speakeasy .

Phoenix New Times

The name may sound pretentious , but its stylish yet relaxed atmosphere and offerings of classic American fare with a delicious kick in the ass are nothing short of modest classiness . Read more

Karli Scott

My mother and I did not know what to expect when we got here, but WOW is it amazing! We shared the lamb and short ribs and were blown away. And a little dessert didn't hurt either. ???? EXQUISITE.

Laura G Adams

Great dessert ! The white chocolate ice cream with chocolate peanut butter strata is rich and delicious! The apple bread pudding was great too!

Angela Mitchell

This is such a cozy spot with a great variety of unique cocktails to try. Of course the original chop salad is the BEST salad I've ever had-you must try this when you are there!

Kirsten Alana

The Chopped Salad has its own FB page if that tells you anything but it's the cocktails that really shine. Find the speakeasy , order a salt barrel-cured cocktail .

Gus D

The Chopped Salad with Salmon was great, the Amaro meat loaf and buttermilk chicken were good, the sticky bun pudding was so so. Good service , good food and good drinks in a fun relaxing atmosphere .

Rachel K

Not the best place for vegetarians . Only a few options like mac and cheese with tomato relish and some salads . They do have one vegan off menu item : an acorn squash with risotto and mushroom sauce .

Anthony Crain

I am a fan of the late night menu which starts at 11pm, has great deals, amazing food and ends at 1:30a! Late night gourmet on the cheap !

Phoenix New Times

The oval-shaped bar , parked smack in the middle of the room, is the focal point and the beating heart of Citizen and if you're a restaurant-industry type or a regular, that's where you should be. Read more

Everything on their menu is amazing and Brandon behind the bar makes the best drinks! If you feel like an after dinner drink check out their speakeasy , entrance is in the back alley!

Phoenix New Times

Generous hunks of smoky-sweet, charred beef tenderloin , mizuna, kale , faintly sweet beet chips and spiced pecans , tossed in blue cheese dressing make the Fernet Steak Salad a must-try! Read more

Appetizers including chicken wings & marrow toast are good. Add a bottle of Tempranillo (at happy hour ) & you’re all set

Try the Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned - There was a much more clever name for this cocktail on the menu, but I can't remember what it was! (via @Foodspotting)

Farrah

Cheese fondue appetizer is rich and heavy (duh, fondue ) buy very good and fun to share. More importantly---get the chocolate pot de creme is the absolute best dessert ever. Kinda pricey but worth it.

Jenny L.

Some of the best cocktails I had in Scottsdale. Don't ask where the speakeasy is...it closed. Bacon fat popcorn good, but make sure it's fresh

Ashley ????

You MUST get the chopped salad ! I ate it too quickly to take a pic. Definitely a reason it has it's own Facebook page.. Yumminess!

JK Grence

Original Chopped Salad is THE thing to get. It's a wicked addiction. Go on Mondays for Pop 'n Chop where you get a FREE chopped salad if you buy a bottle of wine !

Ritchie Buenviaje

Looks like its a rotating menu, but everything I had was pretty good. The pork belly pastrami was delicious.

Tim Shea

The Original Chopped Salad is amazing, not very salad-like, but absolutely delicious — it’s a must-do!

Aaron Read

Place is real. I heard good things and they are true! Good service and great food is always a good combination. Can't wait to try their cocktail pairing dinner .

Bobbi Billard

I absolutely loved the Lamb Burger I ordered. ❤️ Would recommend trying it out.

Josh A

Awesome cocktails . Solid American food with a twist. Good staff . Yummy shareables.

Ashley ????

The Chopped salad makes this place! There is a reason the salad has it's own FB page. Makes up for the noise level being too loud . Entrees are ok. Place looks great.

Curtis Crutchfield

Pork Belly Pastrami is great so is the Bernie's Mac n Cheese . The aged cocktails will kick your butt.

Jodi Bee

3-6 Happy Hour there are great specials. Call for evening reservations though

Niles Emerick

Great cocktails . Try the Boulevardier. Lamb loin was a little tough, but cilantro risotto was delish. Great vibe.

Order the chopped salad and pork belly . There will be no regrets!

Steve Helm

Great food and drink for my parents 50th anniversary. The pastrami style pork belly and short ribs were real stars.

Phoenix New Times

Jennifer Beckner

Great ambiance and the Kale Caesar is beyond amazing. Order the Dirty Ginger ... it's not on the menu but available by special request.

Chris F

Great happy hour from 3-6. The dinner is a tad upscale , but very delicious. If your hungry go for the huge lamb burger

armand gaerlan

recs - pork belly pastrami , the original chopped salad , fair-trade short ribs , pan seared scallops , & black and tan pudding jar

Jenn Bot

Best whiskey selection in old town . Red breast 12, 15, and 21 year.

Alice Ferris

Try the Fried Pickled Pig 's Ear - Yes, I spot a lot of pig 's ears! These were nice and crispy . (via @Foodspotting)

Shaila Olin

Kent is the best server ever! Very knowledgeable and passionate about the food. I suggest the Short Rib with cherry bbq sauce . Fantastic!

Alice Ferris

Try the Midwest Manhattan - Maker’s Mark 46 bourbon , BLiS maple syrup,Carpano Antica sweet vermouth ,tobacco & leather infused bitters , chilled, up

Rob M

Kent was very helpful in pointing us toward some delicious food. Short ribs , scallops , and salad were all fantastic.

Raymond Li

Cocktails are good. Short rib and the pastrami pork rib was delicious

The Peanut Butter paradise soooo good! Ask for Jeremy! He knows the menu and his wine !!

Chopped salad and pork belly for sure! Barrel aged drinks are also great!

Sit at the bar and get to know Thomas. He knows liquor and he knows food. He will not disappoint. Trust him with your drink and food decisions.
