Daily Dose Rio Salado

It’s rare to find a good breakfast spot these days, but this place nails it with well-seasoned food! It was a delight to spend a lazy morning here. Despite a busy Saturday, the service was excellent, the manager was attentive, our server was super helpful, and the busboys efficiently cleaned tables, so we didn’t wait long for seating. We especially loved the cinnamon pancake! While the food isn’t revolutionary, it’s comforting and familiar. What sets it apart is the seasoning and preparation, you can tell it’s made by skilled cooks.

The food was so delicious. The service was great, not too long of a wait (10 minute). They got us right in and served us instantly. I had the omelet and potato’s. Pricing was reasonable. We got the bottle of champagne as well, pretty tasty with the peach juice. The burger was great, sweet potato fries were the best I’ve had in a while, the banana bread French toast was also great!! The jam was freshly made and 10/10.

Service was fast and everyone was very nice and attentive. Food was great. Highly recommend the cinnamon roll pancakes!

I found the atmosphere to be uncomfortably warm, which detracted from the overall dining experience. Despite the temperature issue, the food presented a mixed bag of flavors. While the savory dishes were somewhat lackluster, the sweet options, particularly the cinnamon rolls pancakes , were delightful and worth recommending. If the restaurant could improve the indoor climate, it might enhance the comfort and enjoyment of their guests.

Stopped by for breakfast on Saturday around noon, thinking it would be crazy busy with all of the graduations going on however we were able to get that right away… Super cute spot! I got the mimosa flight, which was so good! I opted for a traditional sausage and eggs breakfast and upgraded the pancakes to chocolate chip, my honey had the burger with the egg and the queso! I’m usually a pretty picky eater, but I branched out and decided to try a bite of his burger and it was to die for good!!! Our waitress was super cutie! I can’t remember her name but she had blonde hair and light eyes??! And I loved all the real plants around the place too! Jess takes care of them and was so sweet to give me a little baby clipping of one of the plants I found to be super interesting when I’d asked our waitress about it! Great food! Great service, we’ll be back ◡̈

This place is a hidden gem! We enjoyed our breakfast experience so much that we'll make this our weekly date spot after our mornings at the zoo! Flavorful menu with great prices and staff was pleasant! Have a dirty chai, it was delicious! Oh! And the banana bread pancakes!!!! So good.

I was there over the weekend and had the BEST service from Isabella. Not only was she super nice and cute and upbeat, but the food was really great as well. An omelette and a strawberry lemonade later, I left happy and full! Definitely suggest stopping by if you're in the area.

I wasn't sure what to expect. This place cooked up one delicious breakfast. I'm definitely going back to try more things on the menu.

Two meals that I've had here in the last week are: French toast with a side of ham steak- and biscuits & gravy- both very delicious. The French toast equates to three slices of bread that are triangularly cut and served (so 6 halves)- I ordered a side of fruit. I feel the side of fruit should be larger for the price, but I could really only eat half of my French toast- definitely a meal that allowed for leftovers! The second breakfast, the biscuits & gravy is delicious and the biscuits were soft- exactly what the waitress told me! She told me the biscuits are homemade in house and the gravy is as well. Service was great- coffee was refilled, and both times it appeared the restaurant was pretty full with happy customers. The restaurant is brightly lit and has natural light as well- this is a comfortable and reasonable place to dine with a menu that offers high protein or vegetarian options.

Located in a parking lot adjacent to 2 hotels and beside Spinatos. Well lit and open space. Very clean with a bar to dine in and separate table seating. Customer service was spot on when cashing in for my take order. Allergies accounted for with suggestions. Now on to the breakfast. Best omelette I've had in years and it was without cheese. So flavorful it held it's on. Healthy sides for all diets. Instead of potatoes and fruit, I opted for sautéed spinach and sliced tomatoes. The spinach was very good and flavorful. They also have gluten free bread toast. Definitely open for a return visit and highly recommend.

Daily Dose has long been on my list to try. I finally made it in recently. And it was delicious! I look forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu. This time I had chorizo burrito with potatoes and the white chocolate sugar bean iced coffee. I didn't have time to sit and enjoy my meal there so I got it to go and the service was great even just to go. I'll come back and dine in next time, but I'll definitely be back.

Very nice place for breakfast and lunch. The restaurant was clean and seats are comfortable. Our server was friendly and a manager even came by to check on us. The cinnamon roll pancakes is a very generous portion and I took a lot home. But I wouldn't get them again. They were good but it was just too much of one thing. Next time I will go with basic eggs and bacon.

Great breakfast spot in Tempe! My family and I went to Daily Dose on a Saturday morning. It was super busy and our waitress was attentive and quick to bring our food out. I ordered pancakes and they were bomb. I would definitely go back!

Ambiance is nice - decent beer selection and a few TVs. Place is clean and conveniently located if staying at the hiltons next door. Service was friendly although the first day I called the lady just kept me on hold until I gave up and hung up. I had the flannel corned beef hash, which was delicious but a tad skimpy on the potatoes. Worth a try if staying in the hotels nearby or in the neighborhood and looking for a good breakfast joint. That said, you might order a couple of things if really hungry.

Picked this location for location only. Big surprise. Best Daily Dose I've been to! Service was fantastic. On time, not rushed like most breakfast restaurants. Took a friend here and it was her first time at any Daily restaurant, and we both commented on the potatoes at the same time. Don't know how you do it, but those little crispy nuggets of gold were amazing. Ate them all before the rest of the meal. Everything was great! Hope y'all do well at this new location. Keep up the good work.

We're new to Arizona, and from the very first time Holly greeted us at Daily Dose, she made the atmosphere feel so welcoming and comfortable. She's truly a gem -- always kind, attentive, and so good to our family (especially our little ones). This spot has quickly become our daily go-to and the first place we bring visiting family. Thank you, Holly, for always showing us so much love. You make every visit feel like home!

We are visiting from out of state and my son found this place!! You will not be disappointed. It is cute, they have misters for outdoor diners. BUT the food is top notch! I had the crabby omelet and my son had the steak and potato bowl. We also got a side of banana bread French toast. I can't even put into words. So delish on all fronts! And the specialty coffees. You want to eat here. Staff is amazing. And the owner even came to check on us.

The service was great, very attentive, never needed to call them over for anything, and the food came out super quick. The Cinnamon Pancake was much more similar to a cinnamon roll than a pancake, meaning that the inner portion was much better than the outer "crust". Overall was a good brunch spot, but the smaller portions were a bit disappointing.

I went with some coworkers for a late breakfast and we were all disappointed in the quality of our food. The potatoes looked really good but lacked flavor. The pancakes were undercooked. I'd rather have made my own breakfast at home. I was saddened because the reviews were great but they did not live up to the expectation.

I always enjoy Daily Dose. They offer good healthy options and all the breakfast favorites too. When I'm trying to eat healthy I always either get the egg white omelet or the Smokey mushroom omelet. The flannel hash is also fantastic. Don't sleep on the lunch though! They have one of the best corned beef sandwiches in town. Service is always good too!

First time in and was not disappointed. The coffee was hot and the service was friendly. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere too. I tried the egg white wrap with mushrooms and Swiss cheese, which was a nice change from having breakfast wraps with meat. I definitely recommend if you want something lighter.

Recently went for a brunch on Father's Day. From the bacon and eggs to the omelette, and the amazing cinnamon roll pancake everything was delicious. Izzy was the perfect server and checked in appropriately throughout the meal. Will definitely make a repeat visit.

Banana Bread French Toast.....it was Sooooooo good! Excellent service,nice lively ambience. This will be a "go back to place"for sure.

Haven't gone here in a while but nothings changed! Great service!!! Who knew that, they have good coffee. There's plenty of parking onsite

Located right off of Rio Salado and the 101 near all the new builds, this breakfast spot was better than I anticipated! Whenever I go to a new breakfast spot I hold my breath and hope they offer fancy coffee drinks and it's not just an old pot of coffee! Daily dose didn't disappoint and I opted for the caramel latte which wasn't too sweet and was perfect. So many yummy brunch options! Great ambiance. Service was awesome! Parking was easy! I'll definitely return.

I have loved this place in the past. This past weekend left little to be desired after participating in the Tillman run we were all hungry. Portions used to be big. Now, expect to get your sides served in a small condiment dish. Ordered cottage cheese and fruit. Both came in little silver condiment dish. Definitely not a side! There is absolutely no sound proofing inside this place. The noise level is horrible.

Had a girls day on Saturday and our first stop was at Daily Dose. My friend is in love with this place and she brought us here for brunch as we had never been. Upon arrival, we checked in with the host and she already knew my friends name. She checked us in and we ended up only waiting about 15 minutes for a table. It was pretty busy but they were quick at getting people in. We sat down and our server came over right away. She dropped off menus, waters, and gave us time to look over the menu. For drinks we ordered: One Iced Chai One Rasberry Lemon Drop One Mimosa Food: One hangover sandwich One steak and potato bowl One burger One stack of cinnamon roll pancakes We didn't wait too long for the food and it was all brought out to us by two different servers, they were very friendly. The portions are massive. I had the steak and potato bowl and it was very good. It had plenty of steak in it and the potatoes were flavorful. It also came with 2 slices of toast. My friends burger was huge and she said it was very tasty, cooked well, and not dry. My sister enjoyed her hangover sandwich and said she would order it again. The highlight of the meal were the cinnamon roll pancakes. Whatever you do, you must order them!!! They were so good! Overall we had a great time and good food. Service was great, food was good, drinks were made well, and the vibes were fun. Our server was friendly and attentive!

The food was the highlight of this little place! It was soooo good ! The staff was friendly and quick. It's a little hidden back in a newer complex but definitely worth a shot! Perfect brunch spot and Holly the bartender was great

Thought this place was going to be fantastic. I thought wrong. Regular run of the mill breakfast place. Out of the four orders, no one was thrilled with their food. I thought the crab cakes and omelet was going to be a big filling plate.. The crab cakes had more breading than crab, and my omelette was a runny mess. My sister ordered the bacon waffle- not much thought or pizzazz .. they just threw a slice of bacon on the waffle iron along with the batter. Disappointed. I can't even remember what the others ordered. I unfortunately was overly underwhelmed.

I've been here for brunch twice and it's been great both times! I got salad both times and I really liked that the greens were fresh and the dressing was nice and light. I really like the spicy tomato juice, although the second time I ordered it it was not as good as the first time. The same goes for the bacon - the second time around it wasn't quite as thick or crispy as the first time. I still really enjoyed eating here and I will be back. Good to note is that they have a dog friendly patio with tables out front and if you go in the morning it's all shaded and there are misters.

Service great, restaurant clean, food came out quick and everything was delicious. Just what we needed after an early flight with no food on the plane.

I've visited Daily Dose for both breakfast and lunch. The restaurant itself isn't huge but I've never had to wait for a table and been seated right away. The first time visiting was for lunch and the waiter was not the most attentive. We had to ask for our check, ask for to-go boxes, flag him down for more drinks, he messed up our salad order, etc. However, I came back for breakfast and the experience was much better. Our waitress was much more attentive and helpful. In terms of breakfast food, the breakfast nachos are phenomenal! For lunch, the cobb salad is also really good -- love the blue cheese vinaigrette! Overall, I'd recommend Daily Dose. However, due to the bad waiter during my first visit, I can't give 5 stars.

This place to me seems like the same category as snooze, first watch, over easy, etc. a somewhat overpriced brunch place with nothing really special but nothing bad either. I thought the food was all pretty average, I got the egg plate with potatoes and toast, which to be fair is a very average order. It was a bit bland and was also a bit cold. The potatoes are well seasoned, but were soft and didn't seem cooked all the way. The cold brew actually was really good and super strong which was exactly what I wanted. Our server was great and I asked for just a little bit of syrup for my coffee and she brought it separate for me to add myself which helped a lot! I probably wouldn't come back but don't really have complaints besides it being overpriced

Food was soooo good, quick service, and pretty location! Will definitely be back. I highly recommend the power bowl with egg whites and tempeh.

Had an opportunity to try DDRS during the week to meet family for breakfast. Quick, friendly service, clean accommodations and options for vegetarian and meat eaters. Once we had time to settle in and order the dishes came out quick and smelled wonderful. What I wasn't impressed with is the portion size for the cost of the meal. The omelette was small, it had 1 slice of toast cut in half and a small container of mixed fruit. Glad we tried it, but that's as far as I'm willing to go. thanks

The food was really good! I tried the steak breakfast bowl and I felt like it was nicely balanced and didn't have too much of anything. I tried their cherry ginger latte and it was good, although I didn't taste the cherry at all it tasted like a traditional golden latte with ginger and turmeric. I didn't love that the seating was a little bit tight, I had to squeeze between two tables to sit down. But the service was really quick and all of the people I interacted with were very kind.

Stopped by for breakfast on Saturday around noon, thinking it would be crazy busy with all of the graduations going on however we were able to get that right away... Super cute spot! I got the mimosa flight, which was so good! I opted for a traditional sausage and eggs breakfast and upgraded the pancakes to chocolate chip, my honey had the burger with the egg and the queso! I'm usually a pretty picky eater, but I branched out and decided to try a bite of his burger and it was to die for good!!! Our waitress was super cutie! I can't remember her name but she had blonde hair and light eyes??! And I loved all the real plants around the place too! Jess takes care of them and was so sweet to give me a little baby clipping of one of the plants I found to be super interesting when I'd asked our waitress about it! Great food! Great service, we'll be back

We have been going to Daily Dose for a few year now. I find the Eggs Benedict to be very good! Not a big fan of the new seating. They took out booths and put it a long bench on one side of the table and uncomfortable steel chairs on the other. While I'm sure they can now accommodate bigger parties, you now have to endure the (in our case) loud conversation of the table next to you! Yes, there are a few booths left next to the window, but requesting them will only lead to an already long wait on the weekends!

A good place to get breakfast or lunch. Nice, clean and the staff is always friendly. Good service and good value.

Service was quick and our server was nice, gave up some suggestions on the menu. My favorite part was how the place looked, super cute breakfast spot. I feel like I ordered wrong with the chicken and waffles, wasn't my favorite but that's just me because I heard that dish is popular. No smoothies here :( maybe if I got something else I would have gave a higher rating, that's my bad

Wow! I was thoroughly impressed with this little restaurant. Very clean, above average service and delicious food. If we lived closer we would definitely go often. Unique food choices and excellent beverage options. I had the veggie omelette that comes with potatoes and crème fraiche sauce (yum), toast and I chose fruit as the additional side. Everything was fresh tasting and well prepared. Portion size and price was on point. On a late Saturday morning it was busy and you may have a short wait for a table. We elected to sit at the bar instead.

Definitely add this to your list of places to try! First time visiting and my food was delicious. Started off with a beer- mosa (Hefeweizen from Santan Brewery with some OJ). Ordered the steak & potato bowl which was very good! Highly recommend. Server said it's one of their popular breakfast items too. Ordered a side of bacon as well (3). FYI for my hot sauce people... they didn't have regular Cholula but did have Tapatio and green pepper Cholula. Shared a bottle of champagne (2ppl) and I think it was worth it. Comes with 6oz of orange juice or you can pick a different choice for your juice. Monday - Friday they have happy hour from 12pm-2pm but doesn't include holidays. Chill place but I'd say it's not really a spot for groups of 8 or more. Seating inside is mostly booths which seat 4, maybe 5/6 if you squeeze. They could potentially accommodate a large group but it'd be tricky with having to put tables together. A large group in front of me had to be separated. You could always sit outside/ they might be able to accommodate a larger group there. Bar seating is not first come first serve. You have to check in with the hostess. Overall great spot and will definitely be coming back.

Came here on a Saturday late morning. Wait was shorter than quoted which was nice, and the service was okay! Kinda slow, but we also weren't in a rush. The food left something to be desired. We got the lox omelet, bacon Benedict with biscuit and gravy (DD style) and crab cake Benedict. The bacon Benedict DD style left something to be desired. Was pretty flavorless. The crab cake bene was good, but the crab was fishier than expected. Filthy chai was delicious though! Overall we'd come back, but we'd order something different. On the plus side, huge menu with tons of options.

We sat outside with our dog. Everyone was very friendly! We had the huge cinnamon roll pancakes and the polenta bowl. All very yummy!

I came here for Sunday brunch with a friend and it was pretty good! We went at 11 and there was a bit of a wait (~30 mins). The waiters were very friendly and my friend and I could not decide what we wanted bc everything on the menu looked so good! We finally decided to share the cinnamon roll pancakes and the applewood smoked ham omelette. Some of the choice of sides were interesting like for example you could get just spinach or just sliced tomatoes. The food itself was great -- the pancakes were literally massive and so cheap for how big the portion was (like $12). The omelette was also delicious and the side of potatoes were perfectly crisp. I'd definitely come back -- the food is great and for a great price as well!

I had the breakfast nachos and was really impressed with the flavors. The sausage gravy tasted homemade and was better than most. Love the variety on the menu as well as the cocktail menu! We'll be back!

Absolutely wonderful restaurant and great service. I told the waitress I don't eat meat and if I could order the grilled cheese without the meat and she said sure.. She then came back and said that the vegetables were sautéed in beef stock and would I like it in something else. She said the cook told her to ask me and he accommodated my wishes. That sandwich was absolutely fantastic.. The restaurant was very bright and open and airy and clean. I will definitely come back.!

Nice quiet morning restaurant with good food! Our server was Mike he was very patient, nice and quick service! We came on a Monday morning for mimosas and breakfast after we got our passports! Food was good!! My bacon eggs Benedict was good they had multiple options on the meat choice, I thought that was cool, the English muffin was crispy as heck!! Not even soft, but I still enjoyed my food. My husband ordered the steak potato bowl. He really enjoyed it, he was really satisfied with the meat portion. They gave a generous amount of steak and was not greedy with the portion size for his, he was very pleased! We normally are a Hash kitchen couple cause We love the loud music & fancy drinks, so it was nice to go somewhere where it was more quiet and we can talk and hear each other and just enjoy our food. We ordered the mimosa flights. They were great. I couldn't taste the different flavors that much as I could other places, but these were pretty stronger than some places, so I got a pretty nice buzz so averaged out to be just as good! The only thing I didn't like is that they charged a fee to use a credit card , & I have a cash rewards , so i basically get cash back for dinning. Plus whenever I'm out I never carry cash i only keep a debit or credit card in my purse so the fee was a tad annoying.

I was not expecting to like this place as much as I did! We were staying at a hotel next door and went to breakfast here when our hotel breakfast was not great. Although we went on a Saturday morning, we were sat right away which was a nice surprise. The best thing I tried was the cinnamon roll pancakes. They were a perfect sweet treat after the savory sandwich I had. They were fluffy and fresh and the icing was not too sweet. I made sure to take the leftovers back for a delicious late-night snack. I was not a big fan of the fries that came with my sandwich or my drink (dirty chai) though I will say adding the Torani coconut syrup did make it much better, but I am very open to trying more items on their menu. Great location for a friend or family breakfast. Our server was great and made sure to answer all our questions and never rushed us on making a decision which is always appreciated.

Food is incredibly. Portions are large. Service is lightening fast. Wait staff is very helpful and it's nice and clean in here. Definitely do recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a good meal.

Though relatively busy on a Saturday morning, service was fairly quick. Staff is friendly and helpful. Hubby got the roasted top sirloin eggs benedict with the potato's and DD Hash. As a disclaimer, he makes eggs benedict at home, so his standards are a bit high. That said, he said it was passable. The potato's were good but the DD Hash was *chefs kiss* the star of the plate. I ordered the Lox omelette with egg whites only, along with sides of the DD Hash (butternut squash & mushrooms), brown sugar oats, and a pancake. The omelette was divine, with lox, capers, red onion and cream cheese. The DD Hash was phenomenal! It's been a long time since I've eaten something so well seasoned! I would've been happy with just that all over the plate. SO GOOD! The brown sugar oats were delicious and an adorable side. The pancake... left a lot to be desired. The batter had been over-mixed, so the pancake leaned toward the chewy/rubbery side. The syrup was served in a 'real maple syrup' looking bottle, but it's the fake 'maple flavored' stuff, so that was quite disappointing. That said, the place is cute, the savory items were DELICIOUS. We didn't try any drinks this time around, but we were served ice water in a pitcher with lime, so that was quite refreshing. Definitely want to come again.

Walked in at 1:49... They were smiles and everything to seat us. I was a little concerned because they closed at 2pm, but they welcomed us with open arms and said as long as we put in an order by 2 PM, we would be fine. We were helped by managers, Holly and Nicole, both Sweet and gave great recommendations. Loved my Reuben sandwich, a little light on the meat, but the flavors are good, and I really like the Harissa aoili that Holly recommended. Overall yummy meals! Thanks for the visit!

We have been to the daily dose in Scottsdale once before this, it was awesome! This location in particular though, was even better!!! Service by Jessica M was amazing, management came to our table to make sure all the food and service was good (Not sure what her name is but she is wearing a white wig costume)! Food was amazing, we had the chilequiles eggs benedict special, and the huevos rancheros. My boyfriend loves brunch and he says top 3 brunch places in Phoenix!!

I have no complaints, everything was great! The hostess was super friendly and helpful, especially when I asked her if they have a gluten-free menu. She explained how the menu worked and my options. I ordered a loaded gluten-free pancake with chocolate chips and marshmallow icing, with crisp herb potatoes and bacon. The pancake was fantastic and the potatoes and bacon were cooked perfectly! The OJ is not freshly squeezed but is local and good. The wait staff checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything they needed. We didn't have to wait for a table, but by the time we left, there was a short wait. Prices are reasonable and parking is plentiful.

Great service. Even better food. Girlfriend got the biscuits and gravy with a chai. She said it was the best chai she's ever got. It was the best breakfast ham I've got. Will come again.

I don't know why this place has a 4 star rating. I've never been to a restaurant where the waitress does not interact with her table, only came and ask what did we want to drink and asked if we were ready to order only checked on us once after the food was delivered and then after her manager had spoken to her after we expressed service could be better. She came back and was only asking how we were doing with a more hyped voice and then it changed when she dropped checks she first handed it to my sister in law and told her straight out "you add the tip first then I'll run your card" she need stood behind my sister and watched her select the tip percentage super unprofessional. Over all her service was not what anyone who works in a restaurant should be. Food was good I enjoyed the steak potatoes bowl.

While staying in Wrigleyville West to catch a Cubs spring training game and soak up everything Cubs, my wife and I checked this place out early on a Friday morning. We were the second diners to be seated and asked for a booth. While perusing the menu, our server asked us for our drink orders and we ordered coffee and water. Coffee was smooth and was very good (when asked where coffee was sourced from, our server stated a roaster from Scottsdale) and cold water with cucumbers slices were served in a carafe. You can actually taste a hint of cucumber in the water...nice touch. My wife ordered the Maple Almond Crunch French Toast and I tried the Three Eggs (scrambled) and Potato with wheat toast. My wife loved her french toast. She thought the pretzel bread was fresh and soft and the gingersnap granola imparted just a hint of ginger and not too overpowering. The potatoes were served hot and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. My eggs were nice and fluffy and they even had 3 or 4 choices of hot sauce available. Service was excellent! Our coffee cups never went empty as our server was attentive and friendly. For those staying in the area, you gotta check this place out! Breakfast for 2 came out to just under $37 with tip.
