Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery

My husband and I were in Gilbert for a photoshoot and decided to stop in to Sage and Barrel. It had the most positive reviews so why not! I loved the atmosphere and the playlist was top tier. Dawson was our server and he was great. He gave us a good rundown on the popular items on the menu and sold me on the pork chops. He was attentive and enjoyable to have as a server. For food, we started off with the beer cheese which was pretty good. The bread was a bit too salty for my liking, but still enjoyable. The main course was beautiful in appearance. Flavor wise, I loved the pork chop itself but the mushroom sauce was a wee bit too much salt and it overpowered the rest of the entree. My vegetables also needed a bit more cooking time so they weren’t so crunchy. But, I was able to still enjoy the meal. I also got the We The People Apple Pie cider to pair and that was delicious. My husband though enjoyed his burger. Would we come back? Yes, I’m always willing to try something else and give a place a second shot. Overall, we still enjoyed the experience.

First time I’ve had the Fish and Chips…. So good! We got the tortellini, barrel burger, French dip w fries, and beer cheese for the appetizer! Food was OUSTANDING & Service was TOP SHELF… never ran out of drinks, Renee was so attentive, and she knows the menu like the back of her hand!!!

First time here and we loved it! First off service was super friendly and accommodating. Our server Tia was awesome she explained how everything in house is homemade and gave us great recommendations, thank you Tia!! We got the onion rings which were insanely good, then also got wings, fried shrimp and beer cheese burger. Were from NYC so we had high expectations and they were def met! Thanks again!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Sage & Barrel. Every detail was spot-on. The food was delicious and, most importantly, served hot and fresh, just the way it should be. The salads were the perfect contrast—cold, crisp, and refreshing, clearly made with fresh ingredients and real care. Our waitress truly elevated the entire experience. She was completely on it—attentive without hovering, incredibly personable, and just an all-around wonderful human being. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great meal, and that makes all the difference. This is the kind of place that gets everything right: quality food, proper temperatures, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will absolutely be coming back and expect this to become a regular spot for us. Highly recommend. 🍽️✨

We had a fantastic time here. We were celebrating a birthday and had a table of 9. We got there before the dinner rush. Our server was a professional. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and food allergies. This place had beautiful decor. The black trim inside was gorgeous.

This was our first visit since the space reopened as Sage & Barrel, and I really loved the new atmosphere—it’s a pretty setting with a fresh, inviting feel. Service was good, and the happy hour drink prices were especially appealing. Food prices felt fairly average for today’s restaurant standards, but unfortunately the quality didn’t quite match the pricing on this visit. My husband and I shared a side Caesar salad, a Margherita flatbread, and an order of sweet and spicy fish and chips, and overall the dishes were just okay. That said, we do plan to return and I’m hopeful that trying a different dish next time will leave a stronger impression.

1st time here and we will definitely be back! Beautiful restaurant, has a gothic cool vibe! The drinks were delicious and the food was spectacular! Our server Nick was spot on with recommendations and his service was great! 10/10 🙌

Delicious food from scratch! Awesome service! Katrina made my family feel so special on a Monday night! Went over and beyond for my family. Definitely highly recommend

Giving this one 5 stars because of the service and atmosphere. The food was on point as well Heirloom Bruschetta was to a different spin on it because the cheese wasn't whole, but it was awesome! For the main dishes I got the Ribeye and I also tried the Blackberry Glazed Salmon. My steak was cooked perfectly to order and the Salmon was not over cooked. Highly recommend.

The inside of Sage and Barrel and absolutely stunning! It is perfect for a date night. Our waitress was absolutely amazing and helped us with what to choose on the menu. We started off with drinks, I got the Peartini and my friend ordered the violet crowned mojito. They were both great but the mojito was our favorite of the two. We ordered the Sriracha Aioli Parmesan fries off their happy hour menu for $9. I had high hopes for this one and it was good just not amazing as I had anticipated. For dinner we their salmon and the bruschetta chicken which was also amazing. The only thing I did not like was the coffee flight, unfortunately it didn't have much flavor and seemed watered down. But overall, I had a fantastic experience at Sage and Barrel!

Excellent location with plenty of parking. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The ambiance was very elegant and simple. I ordered the Pear martini which was fantastic! I will be back for that! The cheese curds with spicy sauce, Korean style wings and flatbread were quite good and filling for our party of four. Another person at our table ordered a beer flight and the serving was quite generous too! Just thought I'd mention that!

Tuesday afternoon late lunch. Could have counted others in there on one hand. Parking was easy right near front door. Liked inside right away. Hostess seated us at nice booth by window and away from other patrons. Service was quick ... took our drink orders, got us waters and then recommended some appetizers. Menu is great, a little of everything. Since there wasn't much going on for kitchen, appetizers and mains came out very close to each other. Could use some timing spacing. My craft cocktail was ok, not great but refreshing. Sampled the beef and brisket chili (great), the spinach, strawberry and goat cheese entree salad with grilled salmon, the beer cheese and the honey glazed fish. I thought everything was great. The entree salad portion size was huge!!!!! Didn't really get into the beer cheese presentation. Some chips but a bunch of raw broccoli and cauliflower and bell pepper strips for dipping. I mean beer cheese and veggies??? An odd pairing. Overall though a good meal for lunch. Really liked the diversity of the menu, interior vibe and the service.

Wandered in this cute restaurant while property shopping. Yelp guided me here and it did not disappoint. I was craving a fresh salad with a bit of protein and found it here. I had their Nashville chicken salad with homemade ranch dressing and it was equal parts cold/fresh greens with a crispy fried chicken breast. Service was friendly and hospitable, too. I would definitely try this place again when I'm back in the area. (Their women's bathroom toilets need some cleaning & tending to!) This rating could be higher if it was a PERFECT dining experience, but for that bathroom.

Visited Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery for lunch on a Saturday with a group of nine. They were pretty busy, but was able to accommodate our party with little to no wait. The space has a nice yet casual ambiance. Service was fast and friendly throughout. I tried the following: Coffee flight of four $14.99 Caramelized roasted Brussels sprouts $23 Sage & Barrel English fish and chips $14.50 Their coffee flight has seasonal flavors. We visited back in March and a couple of the drinks were St. Patty's Day inspired. Unfortunately, the flavors all tasted the same to me and the coffee was weak in my opinion. Our table shared the caramelized roasted Brussels sprouts which comes with maple bacon, crispy onion strings, sesame seeds, scallions, and sriracha aioli drizzle. The Brussels were tasty and perfectly crispy. Really enjoyed it. For my entree, I opted for the fish and chips which is a pub style beer battered or light cornmeal batter served with fries, coleslaw and tartar. I asked our server which batter she recommended and she said beer batter, so I went with that. The batter wasn't too heavy and there was a decent amount of fish, which I appreciated. Flavor was great. I can see why the fish and chips is a Yelper favorite. Everyone at the table also enjoyed their meals!

I would say I go to sage & barrel at least once a month! It's a great family friendly spot, great for date nights and girls nights out! You can't go wrong with their incredible service and servers, especially Tony! The happy hour menu and new brunch menu are fabulous and you can't go wrong with any entree, don't forget to try the steak and a glass of yummy red wine!

I had to message my niece about the Brussel Sprouts they were so good. Old Fashioned and Peartini were equally delicious.

Sage Fact: Sage (Salvia officinalis) was used by Romans in sacred ceremonies, as they believed that it can bring longevity. Have you ever felt like being ran over by a dozen horses before brunch? No? Well don't have Gretel Y., our most glorious Phoenix Southeast CM, as your friend because she'll lure you to her boot camp fitness events with the promise of food afterwards. Even lifting a fork was an olympian task! I ordered a Blackberry Salmon and an iced coffee flight (peppermint, pistachio, marshmallow, white chocolate) for my brunch. My salmon was cooked to flakey perfection and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The coffee flight, while definitely Instagram-worthy, lacked that caffeine kick that was much needed after the boot camp class. I have to admit that I had to go out for coffee afterwards just to finish my Saturday errands. Sage & Barrel is a place of good ambiance, friendly service, and tasty bites. They even found and kept my friend's wallet safe when she had accidentally left it behind. I definitely wouldn't mind stopping in again if I were in the area!

Diane/Diana Fact: The "Diane" part ofSteak/Chops Diane refers to Diana, the Greco-Roman goddess of the hunt. While I may not be a hunter, I do appreciate the goods from someone else's hunt. I got the Chops Diane ($26 - Tender Grilled Chops topped with a forest mushroom cream sauce, mashed potatoes, and sautéed vegetables) here at Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery and it was good. Washed it down with a blackberry drink and went about my day. Sage & Barrel is a solid place for lunch. Our waitress was a pro for our table of nine. Two thumbs up.

Wife and I have been here a few times now. We have enjoyed our visits and their food. Our first two visits were really amazing. We got to enjoy the ambiance and the relaxing atmosphere. My wife loves their Brushetta. Their fries comes with the potatoes skins, their BBQ sauce is great. And we haven't had a bad meal yet. My only issue I have, the last time we were there, you were barely able to talk with each other since it was so noisy. Since there is a sports bar right next door. Let's get rid of all of the tv's. And since we're at it, the bar doesn't need to be so large. This might quite it up a little. We still love the place and will be back.

I love it here! Kaitlyn A was our server. She said she's only worked there a few weeks but I wouldn't know it. She was fantastic. I had the pork chops and they were tender and juicy! The gravy and potato's were so good too. We started with the beer cheese appy. I highly recommend! Comes with garlic bread strips and a ton of fresh veggies. My husband loves their Smokey bourbon drink. They have good happy hour!

Hmmm, let's just say I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. So why the 4 stars you ask? Honesty appears to be the best policy here! I'll fill you in on this later. The food was just ok. Nothing to run home and tell all my siblings about. My Cubano was dry and not flavorful. The fries that came with it were not even a little crispy. Just soft, soggy, and salty. Not a great combination as you can imagine. The brussel sprouts were flavorful but very burnt. Our server was decent. She was nice, but left us hanging on a few occasions. There were roughly 10 of us. So, it was understandable. The restaurant was very large and could probably accommodate A LOT of people. It had a nice comforting, and pleasant vibe. If the food had been better, this place would rock, but unfortunately, it was a dud on the food front. However, they have some incredibly genuine people working here! I forgot my wallet, and when I came back for it, I didn't notice that anything was missing, especially no cash missing from what I can tell, so pretty dang awesome! They definitely have truly genuine honest people working here, and that's exactly what the world needs. I'll be coming back here to pick out my friends!

Went for an early dinner with friends and was SHOCKED at how incredibly busy it was for a Saturday early evening (5 PM). I was excited to see how popular it was and was stoked to see what that was. Upon walking in. It's a very cute modern farmhouse style restaurant. Very pretty and stylish so don't let the strip mall location fool you! First things first - drinks! They have a multitude of specialty cocktails that all sound amazing! I got the sage paloma and it was delicious! Not too earthy and not too sweet. My friend got the pear-tini and it was also perfectly balanced sweet and citrusy. Second up - the food! We started with the cheese curds which were pretty good. A little oily but the cheese pull was good and the sauce was great. Entrees; My hubby got the chicken fried steak, I got one of the two chicken sandwiches and our kiddo got a steak. The chicken fried steak was perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and still very juicy on the inside. The grave was the perfect consistency and the potatoes were good too. My chicken fried sandwich was very good but the real star of the show was the homemade chips. Perfect consistently and seasoned beautifully. Imagine bbq chips but better. Kiddo loved the steak because it was perfectly cooked but didn't love the truffle butter on top of it (definitely would have asked for it without but I don't think the menu said it). Overall a very good experience. Ambiance is good, food and drinks are great, just expect to wait and expect it to be a bit pricey.

A group of nine of us decided to hit up Sage & Barrel for lunch last Saturday after attending an event. It was a last minute decision and we didn't have time to make a reservation but they accommodated us without a problem. I liked the stylish interior updates that they did from when it was "Bar Vineto" in 2015-2023. Here is a breakdown of the items I tried: Wild Peartini $13 -Very sweet. Sweeter than I was foretold. While it had good flavor, it would have been better served colder. Just a bit more time shaken over ice, would have been awesome in my opinion. Coffee flight $14.99 -While I love the variety of flavors, I'd stick to coffee flights at places where they specialize in this craft. This one did not meet any of my expectations. Sesame chicken salad $18.50-A standout!! The in house made dressing was lip smacking and made this dish! Louisiana Cajun Pasta $20.00-This dish is HOT! Spicier than what the server let on! I felt like there were flames in my mouth! Amanda was friendly and provided excellent service considering she has only worked here a couple of weeks. Despite a few minor items, would I pay another visit? Absolutely!

I'll start with the bad & leave you with the good. This was our first time here and on our Friday night date S&B was loud. I mean LOUD. We were sitting right next to each other and it was impossible to have a conversation. Our server said it's not usually that loud. It also was to warm. I won't say hot, but it definitely could have been 5-10 degrees cooler. Lastly, getting a drink took about 20 minutes. Order 2 and save the wait. Our server, Jackie was super nice and quite apologetic for all of the above. She offered her opinion, when we asked, about the various food options. We tried the cheese curds and they were absolutely delicious! The Hot Chicken Salad and the Blackened Fish Sandwich were very good. There are lots of cocktail options so whatever you are into, they likely have it. Enjoy!

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and was happily surprised it was happy hour given we found them from a mailer. Great ambiance and low key feel inside with an elegant taste. The fish and chips was good and a good amount of food, not overly breaded and the fries were as expected. We had one of the Cocktails which were nice and the old fashion on happy hour was as expected , basic for happy hour but not bad, ended up having two lol Would recommend and interested on some of the other menu items

New restaurant alert all QUEEN Creek residence. Need to make sure they check this place out. Great menu, great staff, great atmosphere, and great location. I met the owner of Jordan who is from Illinois like myself and my family and he just wanted to bring the Midwest and that he did it with his great menu. I have been here four times in the past 2 weeks trying different things. Everything I have tried has been absolutely great. The fried shrimp are absolutely delicious. The homemade cocktail sauce complements it very well. The fried fish sandwich melts in your mouth. The salmon is incredible and the ribeye is so good. This place has moved into the number one spot for me for local restaurants. I highly recommend it. Food 5/5 Location 5/5 Parking 5/5 Staff 5/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Return Factor 5/5

We are very impressed with Sage & Barrel! The moment we walked in and got seated through the check out, we were happily greeted, and any questions we had they were more than helpful! Thank you! Layout of the place is warm and beautiful, it looks so much bigger than it does from outside! Everything we ordered was perfect and delicious! We will be back again soon, this time bringing family out of town to enjoy this great experience!

Went with some friends. The atmosphere is very nice. Very clean. The menu is varied, with something yummy for every taste. The service was amazing, Nick too great care of our group. Holy cow, the chicken and waffles was the best!

Where to start? The service was amazing, Gabriella was so kind and accommodating as she was on top of it! Always checking to make sure we were good. The food was delicious, we had the cheese curds and the fried goat cheese and berry salad, it was SO GOOD! It was a quiet atmosphere but I am sure they get busy. They are just that good! 10/10 recommend! And if you can, have Gabriella as your server, she is amazing!

Decided to try this place because of Queen Creek's Restaurant Week deal. Smart move! This joint with its lovely, warm decor and friendly servers was perfect for a lunchtime outing. We shared a hamburger horseshoe and it was delish! We're looking forward to returning for the salmon and fried chicken. Yum!

This was our first visit to sage and barrel but it definitely will not be our last. My pbj burger was messy and sticky and the exact way a pbj burger should be. The berry jam is just delicious. The sides that are offered were chips, fries or slaw. Non of these items excited me. So, I gave the fries to my husband. This didn't bother because my burger was HUGE. My only feedback-I am gluten free. I would not have known Sage and Barrel had GF adaptations if I had not read up before coming to the restaurant. The menu does not identify allergens and adaptations. I had to ask. Don't let this deter you though. The food is delicious!

The decor is great and the service was perfect. The food was a bit bland and the water tasted odd. They charge for every modification (took off Lettuce, $.50 was added to the bill, asked to sub cheddar instead of habanero cheese, $1.30 added to the bill, asked for 2oz side of ranch, $1.50 added to the bill. The fries and chicken (pictured) has a very dry, bland chicken breast under the soggy, cold beer cheese, and limp fries.

I've been a few times since they opened. At first it was a little overpriced and had some kinks to work out. But past two times I've been very impressed with the food. Very good food and good portions. Went yesterday and sat at the bar. Server was very pleasant but kinda disappeared after we received our food. I would have liked a water refill and would have ordered a cocktail had I been asked.

My girlfriend asked me to meet her and her cousin here for happy hour! It wasn't happy hour, but still it was wonderful! I had the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich and it was huge! I mean it was one big ass sandwich! It was good too and spicy! I added bacon to it which took a completely over the top! My friends enjoyed their food so we will definitely come back! As a nice bonus, the manager came over and acknowledged us. That was a nice gesture. I'm glad this place isn't too close to my house. Otherwise I would weigh 500 pounds! I'm looking forward to going back and using their private dining room area too! The manager says that it seats, 40, which is perfect for my organization.

Great food provided by Chef Chip Kennedy. Cuisine is 5 star restaurant worthy and served with a beautiful flare

Great spot for happy hour and a regular meal. I love the PB&J burger, so good! The service is always amazing, we've been there a half dozen times in the past couple of years and it's got a cool atmosphere too!

Just moved to Arizona a couple months ago... Coming here was definitely a warm welcome! The staff is nice and attentive. The food tastes fresh. Everything was reasonably priced.

We are new to the area and found this restaurant while reading about restaurant week. We had to go check it out. The decor is very pleasing, all of the people were friendly and we had great service. We love the music they were playing, and the fact that it was loud enough to enjoy, but not too loud that you couldn't easily have a conversation. I loved my bourbon bacon salmon meal with asparagus and Gouda mashed potatoes. Great flavors! My husband got the pork chop meal. The pork chop was very tender and crispy at the same time. The sage gravy was very nice and the mashed potatoes were just right. He especially enjoyed the mid west style green beans. We look forward to returning and trying some of the other menu items.

We pass this area several times a week and had no clue it was nestled in the plaza. Very cute and trendy inside. Love the Sage hanging and the barrel with the sage when entering. . The staff were very friendly and welcoming also. The salmon was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The onion rings we personally weren't a fan of just too much breading. But to each their own. We didn't get to try a dessert this time as we were full. But seen several pass us and they were so delicious looking the presentation was everything

DELICIOUS!! Came here for my grandmas birthday dinner and every single dish that came out had incredible flavor and was cooked perfectly! The restaurant was decorated very nicely and has a large waiting area. Our server was extremely kind and efficient. One thing to note is that the restaurant does get very loud when busy so it can be hard to hear one another but besides that everything was absolutely wonderful and we will be back!!

Food, service and ambiance are all amazing. I have been here with my family twice now and both times were consistently good.

I've been here a few times now and it is wonderful each and every time. Even when they had to remake a burger, it turned out delicious. The fish and chips are huge and almost as good as what you get in London. We will be back

My review comes after two visits so I could try more menu items. I'm a huge fan of this place. I really like the atmosphere and the bar is nice too. As for the food, the cheese curds are amazing. They are made fresh per order and not from a bag in the freezer. For entrees, I have had the fish and chips which was great and I also have had the blackberry glazed salmon, and it was AMAZING The staff is friendly and attentive.

Excellent food! Atmosphere is great, too. Burger was out of this world perfect. Locally owned. Definitely recommend this place

Tried this on a whim as we were looking for something new! The ambiance was nice, simple but refined and the vibe was a blend between a sexy cocktail lounge and a steakhouse. Drinks were great, they have a seasonal menu of rotating cocktails and we tried the banana bread old fashioned made with Angels envy. So so so good! It was the recommendation of our waitress and was worth the try! I ordered the bruschetta chicken and it was well cooked and well seasoned. My only smidge of a complaint was that I wanted to sub the mashed potato with a pasta and they couldn't. It's not even enough for me to change my 5 star review because the potato's were SO GOOD! So a blessing regardless! My husband ordered Louisiana Cajun pasta and it was spicy, well seasoned and not a massive portion! He ate the bowl clean and that says enough! Our friends who were with us had the chicken and waffles and the bacon and bourbon salmon and they both enjoyed them! All in all worth a stop in as the service was wonderful and the food was great! Oh! Also, a nice bar set up with some large tv's for sports!

Food was great and driver was very nice! It was very busy in there and our food took a bit but our server kept checking Finn and making sure everything was all good! Will definitely be back!

1st experience was impressive. I must say the best fish and chips I have had. Can't wait to try other dishes from the menu.

Hidden Gem! Surprised this place is not more popular. The food always comes out hot and on point! We went for our anniversary and splurged-courses. Cheese curds to start, bourbon salmon, holiday special cranberry pork loin and Pecan pie topped with pecan ice cream. All deliciousness! Dont forget the yummy holiday spirits! Prices are comparable so go check them out!

I can't wait to go back! While I wouldn't order the southern fried pork chops again, I can't wait to try some of their other menu items. I was swayed by our server to try his favorite dish and it was good but just too heavy for my liking. The sage gravy was incredibly flavorful. The menu boasts so many delicious options and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Great ambience and service! Perfect for a girls night out or a date night! Such a nice addition to QC!

First time at sage and barrel. Had lunch today with 11 friends all separate checks and beautifully handled by Sherry. My Scottish Ale was tasty and my bbq pork sandwich was very enjoyable. Nice restaurant overall with convenient parking. I will be back

Food was cold and greasey. I mean onion rings dripping with grease! Had drinks..very very little alcohol content! Like drinking kool-aid! Very bad. Even asked waitress about drinks...said that is how we make them So Totally disappointed! Won't be back. Yet our bill for 3 was 150!!

This is a nicely remodeled restaurant, with cute design and friendly staff. The food is definitely what brought us back. The best fish & chips in QC! The only reason we don't come back often is the level of noise where it's hard to relax and hear each other. Even the servers have to lean down and repeat the orders because the noise is out of control. The restaurant needs noise absorption devices/installations to soften the sounds.

This is an undeniable hidden gem. While tucked away from the main street view, you should find your way to this AMAZING restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious! Do not be afraid to try anything on the menu. Our server (Scherri) was sure to make suggestions and did not disappoint. Her suggestions were honest and held true. From the Beer cheese app, to the Hot chicken sandwich and Bourbon Gouda Burger to the Lemon Berry Marscapone Cake.... delicious! By the way, don't miss out on the cocktails! Absolutely a Five Star experience! Please run, don't walk to this wonderful restaurant!

We decided to try it today for lunch. What a great find~ the restaurant theme is very nice and inviting. I ordered the lunch fish and chips . Fries were really good as the Cole slaw. The fish tasted good but was a little mushy because container was to small for everything. But tasty! My friends had the house salad which was enough to share. My other friend had the Bournon Gouda burger and really enjoyed it. We will definitely be back!

First time here at Sage & Barrel for an early dinner. Friend ordered the Fish Sandwich and I ordered a Brisket Supreme Shoe. Think the server was more excited about that order selection than I was since I had no clue what I ordered. Place is roomy and had a cozy feel. It is not really a sports bar nor is the large menu what I would consider bar food. Portions are large, quality was great as was the service. The Brisket Shoe had texas toast piled with a tender brisket with onions, peppers and mushrooms. The plate is covered with fries in a cheese sauce. It was very tasty. All good here.

Still great food and good ambience. Service was ok but the place was busy. Good value for money. We have made this our go to for lunches. Keep up the good work

There were 8 in our lunch group who came here on a Tuesday. Two of our group had been to Sage & Barrel before and were happy to be returning. The menu had a number of unique items, such as the PB&J burger on a pretzel bun, which I tried. Delicious! The patty was cooked perfectly, and the peanut butter and jelly added a very nice sweet/salty flavor. For the side, I chose the house made chips. Also very good -- flavorful and crisp. Others in our group chose pasta, salads, and flat bread pizza. Everyone had positive comments. While service was good, the only problem occurred when some of us asked for to-go boxes. Our server also brought our checks at the same time even though five of us would have ordered dessert. I think our server was distracted because the restaurant suddenly was crowded and included one very large party. We will definitely return to Sage & Barrel. I hope this new restaurant is successful. Unfortunately, the location is not visible from the street.
