Daily Dose Rio Salado, Tempe AZ

I have never left this place unsatisfied with my meal. Southwest flannel hash is killer. Holly was a great bartender and very attentive. Will always keep coming back here.

Worst service I’ve had in a while, food was dry. They constantly tried to take our plates before we were done eating. Won’t be coming back here, one and done.

I love this place. They always happily make any substitutions to Taylor your meal just the way you want it. And they don’t charge extra for doing so or for things like salsa.

Pleasantly surprised here.not an overwhelming menu, and they have some interesting adaptations to regular breakfast items.ended up coming here both mornings i stayed at the hotel next door.
8.3/10

Found this little gem today. We had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes and Mixed Berry Protein Pancakes. Cinnamon Roll tasted like a warm gooey Cinnamon Roll. Berry pancakes were soo good, berries were a warm compote. All of the staff is friendly and very attentive. Will be back here next time we are in town, for sure!

Super friendly and happy staff, fast service and terrific food! A truly wonderful experience. We got there and there was a line outside. They said it would be about a 25 minute wait and it ended up being only a few minutes. We basically got seated right away and had the best breakfast ever. Definitely coming back!

Do not lie to your customers about the wait time. If it will take 45 minutes, just tell me that. Be honest and stop wasting people’s time. If you want to have the best breakfast place in Tempe, try implementing Yelp’s waitlist feature like Snooze A. M Eatery does. There’s a reason that place is better than this garbage…

Amazing pumpkin latte. Normally don't get sucked into the seasonal junk, but this was solid. Tasty pancakes too. Super clean and friendly, which is rare in Tempe.

Server ERIKA was wonderful. Very friendly and nice to me and my children. The food wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, just a great presentation. The prices were different from the menu. The Mexican guy (wearing a black DD shirt) was very disturbing and intruding. He came cleaning off table and collecting plates before I even paid my bill. I’m not sure where he came from bc he wasn’t my server. Made me very uncomfortable.

If someone calls days ahead to confirm you can accommodate a larger party and you assure them that you can but it turns out you cannot that is called lying. One thing would've been if we showed up the day of with a larger party expecting accommodations and you were not able to make it work. Another, very different thing, is we called ahead to make reservations which you said you did not take (fine) but when specifically asked if you could accommodate 12 and you said yes but that turned out to be a lie. Sitting the party split up across the restaurant is not honoring that commitment you made over the phone. Had you been honest about your accommodation restrictions we would've moved our party to a different restaurant that could accommodate our needs. Instead you chose to lie to us that you could accommodate us and ruin our birthday brunch plans. This is not good business and it hurts your servers because they suffer from the poor management skills of their owners. We of course, would never take out our grievances on a server especially in our tipping but will not patronize this establishment ever again.

My husband and I came here for breakfast today on a whim. We got the pablano eggs Benedict and the chorizo omelet with the dd hash. The food was amazing and the service was by far the best. Multiple staff came and checked on us. I would definitely recommend this place to family and friends. And I will be returning

Attitude attitude attitude and don't bring birthday cakes here!

I will admit the food was actually good but the management and server Holly were terrible! We went out for a birthday breakfast for drinks and breakfast foods and our server did not seem like she enjoyed her job. Everything seemed like a chore to her like she had other stuff to do. She saw we brought a small cake for after eating and never told us we couldn't eat it there. We do this every year at multiple restaurants with zero issues ever, most places ask us if we want to put cake in refrigerator while we eat. But this place won't let you eat your birthday cake!

They wouldn't bring us 5 plates to dish it up said it was against the owners policy and az state law (no az state law outlaws this!). In fact when we asked for plates there was quite an attitude in the reply but she said she would ask manager came back and said a firm no. A birthday cake can't be eaten there after 5 people spend over $110 on food! They basically said you can eat it in the parking lot. No offer to give us to go plates or anything that could make it easier. We asked for manager who was equally rude and not understanding. We weren't trying to sell outside food there, we weren't trying to avoid buying anything, we were trying to celebrate a birthday which is a bad idea to do here I suppose. I could understand this treatment if we came in spending $5-10 a person without outside food hurting your bottom line but this was over $20 a person tab and cannot justify coming back again! If I could tip only the kitchen I would! Normally I'm a big tipper too 20%+ but it is always based on service provided. My $5 tip was thrown back at me because I explained this experience warrants a lower tip. We all had to run home to eat birthday cake after this debacle of choosing this place for birthday breakfast!
