Category: Elevated Comfort Food. An open and airy elevated casual spot with cut-above comfort food. The exposed steel-trussed ceiling and HVAC system give this spot a quasi-industrial feel. We like the busy U-shaped black granite bar with red leather high-backed stools, where we like to dine if it's just the two of us, so we can people watch across the bar. For people who need TVs, the bar has them facing all sides. U-shaped booths border the front windows, high tops for four populate the area past the bar, and steel-framed butcher block regular tables can be found near the booths. There is an Edison-bulbed outdoor patio for al fresco dining. I saw heaters for cool weather and fans for hot, but I'm not sure about misters. The menu is an eclectic mix of classics (Caesar and Waldorf Salads, maybe with a house twist), burgers, and elevated comfort food mains (baby backs, blackened ahi, salmon risotto, Duroc pork chop), and New Orleans fare. In fact, it seems like the chef's heart is in NOLA (we often feel that way too). In addition to standard menu items you’d find in the French Quarter (shrimp and grits, blackened redfish, red beans & rice), the recurring daily specials posted on a sandwich board outside are straight from The Big Easy (etouffe, NOLA swordfish). We happily shared the Roti + Rib Combo, very tasty, very generous chicken and ribs. The beer choices are plenty and there is a sufficient number of red wines under $50. Excellent service.

I truly enjoyed stumbling into this place. I had walked into Twin Peaks (chain restaurant ) which was next door to my hotel. I wanted a cold beer/drink and DEFINITELY some FOOD. (the place was pretty quiet) see that Happy Hour was over. SADLY after 15-20 minutes without service I walked out. Thank GOODNESS 'THE MACINTOSH' just around the corner in the same shipping center made my long day of travel WORTHY! FOOD, SERVICE AND COMFORT...

We are so happy we chose to celebrate a graduation at The Macintosh. The food, service, and restaurant provided the perfect elevated dining experience for the occasion. The brussel sprouts were a crowd favorite! All of our dishes exceeded our expectations. Even the water was delicious! Another favorite dish was the salmon and orzo. The flavors were on point! We will definitely return next time we are in town.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Savana made our visit unforgettable. From start to finish, she was friendly, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely loves what they do, and it shows. Great food + outstanding service = perfect night!

This is the one of our favorite restaurants in Pheonix. The food has been amazing every time and the service is top notch. Usually here for dinner, but it’s good anytime. That ribs and check are amazing. However, the Waldorf Chicken Salad is one of the best things I have ever eaten and I’m not even a salad person really. Give it a try, You won’t regret it!

Outstanding! Bravo! Had an amazing date night here for restaurant week and we have already decided we will be coming back here on a more frequent basis. Our server was Madison, she was incredible. Very knowledgeable and friendly and always came by at just the right time. Our food was sooo flavorful and delicious! I don’t even like pecan pie but I tried a piece of my hubbys and it was easily one of the best things I have ever tried. The ambience was perfect, the restaurant very aesthetically pleasing, a great selection of music was playing in the background, I literally have NO complaints about this place. Keep up the amazing work!
