Gluten Free options galore!!!! This place is like finding a gem amongst all the other places in Scottsdale. Food is great, service - above and beyond. And they have great drinks. Fantastic brunch spot.

Nice place, service is really good and the food was amazing! I ordered the Market Sunflower salad. The strawberries and blueberries were so sweet and paired perfectly with the goat cheese, chicken lettuce and vinaigrette. The crunchiness of the sunflower seeds complemented it too. Absolutely delicious!

The fingerlings and sweet potatoes and aiolis were delicious. The burger was cold. I like my hamburgers extremely hot. The flatbread tasted mostly like pesto. Your mouth kind of had to hunt for the other flavors. The enchiladas were pretty basic. Service was ok. Water didn't have ice and was room temp. The sun was blaring in at us as it set. All in all, meh. Not horrible but wouldn't eat there again.

Delicious and unique menu and pleasant atmosphere made for a terrific lunch. We enjoyed the two vegetarian (by choosing no protein - you can get either with meat as well) power bowls. Both were really a great blend of textures, tastes, and portioning without being overdressed or gloppy. The menu has a nice variety of dishes, a lot of just very fresh and light options but with some heartier choices as well. Service was "good not great" as our drinks sat empty while the servers were just kind of hanging out. Not a big deal, but just slightly disappointed after such good food. Atmosphere is comfy and nice without being cramped, patio has misters and is partially shaded.

My daughter and I shared 2 appetizers. Brussel sprouts & flat bread. Both were delicious! Every bite was like a party in our mouths! We shared the main entree of the chicken and macaroni & cheese. This was very flavorful. We didn't care for the breading on the chicken though. It seemed to dry it out. Overall the dish was very good. Service was friendly and attentive. We ate outside on the patio at night. They turned off the heaters early, despite us not having been served yet so it got a bit chilly. We really enjoyed the food. Had we stayed in town, we would have eaten here a second time. Go a little early and enjoy the shopping before the stores close. Most close between 5-6 pm. For dessert, go next door to Jeni's for ice cream.

My bf got the buckwheat pancakes and bacon, and I got the bourbon ginger peach French toast. His pancakes and bacon looked great and he said they tasted great. My French toast on the other hand was underwhelming. It was soggy and crumbly and the flavor was not very bourbon or ginger forward. I returned the plate and they took it off the bill so I'm glad they were not sticklers on that, especially since they were charging $20 for it. We also had a side of eggs and fingerling potatoes, which were as expected but also pretty pricey for what they were worth...

Great service from our bartender (I don’t remember her name) but she allowed me to sample wines when I was unsure of which one I wanted to pick and she gave me a long list of places to try out in phoenix when she found out I had just moved to the area. Also really enjoyed the potato fingerlings with the red pepper aoli (the aoli was SO good)

Nice and chill atmosphere. Great food that felt refreshing. It has options for both vegans and non-vegans that are delicious. I wish the vegan menu was a little larger but the options they did have were absolutely delicious. The serving portions were good as well. Everyone in my party was very happy and we plan on returning next time we are in the Scottsdale area.

This is a cute smaller restaurant in Old Town - we were able to find parking right across the street on a Friday night at 7pm. The restaurant was pretty empty, one larger party and a couple smaller parties. We asked if we could sit at a booth and the hostess was very kind in letting us sit in one! I like the big, open bar in the restaurant, lends fancier and elegant vibes. My boyfriend got the fried chicken and with kale and apple slaw and Gouda Mac and cheese. This was quite a large portion which he loves, he even left a few bites of mac and cheese! He liked it a lot and him eating kale is a win. He also got a church music and it was tasty as always. I got the vegan nosh board and had enough leftovers for a second meal. All four noshes are so tasty but the kale pakora has to be my favorite. It's so unique and has great crunch and the candied jalepeños are sweet and a little spicy. The Brussels are also so crispy! I didn't notice there was an aioli on the bottom of these two noshes so take notice because it adds another tasty element. The cauliflower is surprisingly gluten free and that makes me so happy. There were few large pieces and it had so much depth of Korean hot pepper sauce but not too spicy by any means . The snap peas offered great crunch and the quinoa had a grilled flavor to them? So good. The last nosh was a rainbow quinoa with fennel and orange and blackberries and roasted red onions... yummm. Tasty while warm and so many vegetables, so filling!!

The Herb Box in Scottsdale is stylish and inviting with kind staff. I just felt like the menu had quinoa and kale on nearly every plate. Regardless, the food tasted fantastic and the cocktails are solid. It's a great spot if you're craving something clean and unique! - AD

Poor Service: - "The waiter was rude and ignored us for most of our meal." - "It took over 30 minutes to get our drinks, and the staff seemed overwhelmed." Food Quality: - "The steak was overcooked and tough. I couldn't even finish it." - "The pasta was undercooked and tasted bland." Cleanliness: - "The table was sticky, and the bathroom was filthy. Not a pleasant dining experience." - "I noticed a fly buzzing around our food, which was really off-putting." Long Wait Times: - "We waited over an hour for our food, and it wasn't even busy." - "After ordering, it took forever to get our appetizers, and by then, we were already frustrated." That was on mothers day

Our girls trip ended with lunch at The Herb Box after a couple of hours window shopping at the stores around. We built up quite the appetite and wanted an "easy on the stomach" last meal before our flight back home. With a quick yelp search, I found that the reviews for this place were pretty decent enough to be our final stop for a bite. We were a group of five but two of the others were stuck at the salon, so we entered as a group of three but asked for a table that fit the entire five of us in case the other two finished up soon. We were sat outside under the large umbrellas and felt a nice cool breeze and had a good view to people watch. After browsing the menu, we started with the crab dip with plantain chips. The cilantro lime dressing disguised the natural taste of the crab but still was tasty. There were generous lumps of crab throughout. I thought it was a creative appetizer and was super fresh. I went with the turkey, pear, and arugula sandwich on a toasted baguette. This came with fresh house made sweet potato chips. Everything was delicious. The sandwich was packed with turkey but still tasted light. The crunch and chewiness of the baguette offered a delightful texture. I enjoyed the house made chips that were lightly salted. The other girls at the table got the serrano shrimp salad, which was piled high with arugula and had sprinkles of crispy bacon. This was all over some toast and dressed with large, lightly fried shrimp. My friend got the buttermilk chicken sliders which were cute x 3. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food. The only real complaint we had was that it took over 30 minutes for our three sandwiches/salads to come out. The outside patio was almost full but the inside seating was pretty bare, so they weren't too busy. The other two girls ended up coming at the very end of our meal, so my thought was that the waitress waited to put in our lunch orders even though we told her the girls can just order after us. Wasn't too big of a deal, but the delay was noticeable. In the end, I had half a sandwich and some chips to take back on my 6hour flight to New England. I toasted that baby up in the air fryer the next day and enjoyed every last bite, reminiscing on the Scottsdale adventure.

Absolutely healthy and fresh, I loved this place and will be back. The chilled crab dip was incredible and the Serrano shrimp salad was amazing with the sweet hot Serrano glaze. The bowl was delicious and had lots of flavor and the drinks were simple and delicious. The service was efficient and excellent also the patio was a great spot.

We actually ended up here by default, as the place we were supposed to have lunch at was closed. But it ended up being a happy accident. I like the decor of this place, with a tiled wall, beamed ceilings and the biggest table lamp I've ever seen. There is a bar, some high-tops, banquettes, and some tables. We were sitting by the door, so there was a burst of cold air anytime someone walked in or out. I ended up eating with my sweater on. There is a patio out back. There were several people eating out there, so I presume the heaters were on and worked well. We shared the short rib tacos and the Herb Box BLT with chicken. Both were good. Not Earth shattering, but certainly good. The sandwich was served with sweet potato chips which seemed to be seasoned with something that I can't put my finger on in--maybe brown sugar? I didn't love them, but then again, I don't like sweet potatoes. This was a nice place with nice food. Definitely a good choice if your looking for lunch.

This place is charming from the moment you walk in. The decor is beautifully curated blending an industrial- modern aesthetic with a cozy farm kitchen feel. One of the first things you'll notice is the front facing bar which offers an enticing selection of specialty cocktails. Seating options are plentiful with high and low tables as well as comfortable booths. The Herb box BLT was absolutely delicious featuring a lightly breaded chicken cutlet homemade pesto, on a delicious roll. Our server was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and incredibly patient as I caught up with an old friend over a long leisurely lunch. We never felt rushed, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. If you're looking for a stylish comfortable spot for a great meal and conversation this place is a must visit. I'll definitely be back.

This is a super cute place with a great patio in Old Scottsdale. I love the ambience and when it is not hot out, they have a great patio! We came in for happy hour (3-6pm) and snacks and neither disappointed. Craft cocktails are $12 with a wide selection. We sat at the bar and our bartender was wonderful. The knowledge of the menu and giving us suggestions was amazing! We decided to get a couple happy hour items and I picked the Korean Fried Cauliflower and my friend the crisp Brussel Sprout chips. WOW!!! Both come on huge plates with enough to feed way more than 2 people. Each dish was amazing! We haven't eaten lunch or dinner there but that is next on my list! Got to the Herb Box for great food, great ambience and great service!

Such an underrated restaurant in my opinion! Food: Korean cauliflower was delicious and comes on a bed of quinoa, great starter. We ordered the shrimp salad and OMG it was amazing, it comes on top of delicious slices of avocado toast too. We also ordered the tacos on happy hour thinking it was going to be two little tacos but it was actually four tacos generously stuffed with tasty short rib. Happy hour has great prices and great portions Service: amazing!! our waiter was on top of it and when I told him my friend was gluten free he quickly figured out an alternative for her birthday dessert Ambiance: great mix between casual and lowkey date night spot

Great spot for gluten-free options and more in a really nice spot in Scottsdale! The menu is varied. The burger has local Arizona meat and is rich! It comes with cute little potatoes instead of fries that are very, very tasty. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside and a bar. The courtyard in the back has plenty of tables too if it is too cold inside for you. Street parking may be your best option here but there is also a small parking lot behind the building across the street. They don't make their cakes/baked goods in-house but they are all gluten-free and well worth the price.

A wonderful and delicious experience!! I went out to lunch with a group to Herb Box and the place was so popular! I loved seeing how many people celebrated birthdays and bachelorettes here and it was just a fun and lively space! Even though it was busy, we were seated quickly and the service was great in getting our orders and coming by. Their menu was great, so many amazing options and different salads. I really enjoyed the Serrano shrimp and my friends said their market salad and steak salad were also great! They definitely have unique salads. The grain bowls looked delicious as well. Overall this was a great experience and such a cute spot in Old Town for lunch!

I came here for brunch with some friends and had an enjoyable time out on the patio. The Herb Box is a full-service catering company that has a couple of eateries in Scottsdale. This location is in Old Town off 5th Ave near the canal. The setting was perfect and we all enjoyed our food. We were impressed with both the presentation of the plates and the quality of the ingredients. While my friends ordered breakfast for their meals, I ordered lunch and got the Lentil Cauliflower Bowl with Grilled Chicken. Lentils and cauliflower are some of my favorite foods to order. I am always looking for new ways to prepare these items and this bowl gave me some ideas. Espresso Martinis are a big thing these days and sounded like a good choice for a brunch drink. The menu is quite extensive with shared plates, breakfast, healthy salads, sandwiches and desserts. The Herb Box is a nice spot for lunch, dinner or weekend brunch. Reservations can be made on OpenTable.

Herb Box is one of my go tos for lunch in old town scottsdale. They have an extensive menu of sandwiches, salads, and more-it's a great spot to go with a group because there's something for everyone! The restaurant also has the perfect patio for a lunch outside and the inside is nice and airy as well. The service has always been good and all of my servers have been nice!! I have been here multiple times and each thing i've tried has been delicious! The prices aren't particularly cheap but the portions are large + quality is good so I would say it is worth it. All of the food is very fresh and they have several healthy options.

So wanted to update my review to a 5 star one!!

I've been in to this Herb Box a few times and I may just not have had good luck the last couple times. It's a great location and a nice comfortable spot to stop in for a bite while walking around old town. This time I got the brown sugar pork ciabatta. It was ok but I wasn't really a fan. It probably didn't help that the chips that came with it were chewy and kind of soft rather than crispy.

First time at The Herb Box and I was delighted to see so many gluten-free options! The Herb Box is a cute place to enjoy a meal either inside or outside on their patio. It was a chilly evening when we stopped in, so we stayed inside, away from the frozen tundra that January nights in Phoenix sometimes resemble. Our server was very friendly and came by to take our orders and check on us frequently. She happily answered a couple of questions I had and even offered some suggestions! I opted to go with the Short Rib Enchilada - an excellent choice that was accompanied by a slaw... and I would definitely order it again! If I order a cocktail next time, then I will probably go with a different option - The Lucy Goosey wasn't terrible, but I couldn't really taste the Pear Vodka or Elderflower Liquor... so it just tasted like a glass of prosecco. Glad I finally tried The Herb Box and looking forward to a return trip! Overall rating: ****FOUR STARS**** Gluten-free rating: ****FOUR STARS****

I came here a few months ago and it was horrible service so i refrained from reviewing until i came again. I came here on a Saturday and it was busy, BUT the service was wonderful! And the food was great! I am so glad I tried it again and the host did such a great job. I could tell he was working very hard.

Great spot in Old town for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! The patio in the back is the ideal spot to sit if the weather allows, but the inside portion of the restaurant is clean and bright as well. For breakfast I ordered the baby kale, brie, and green apple omelet. It was healthy, and absolutely delicious! The brie cheese made it very creamy, and unique! Service was good, the atmosphere relaxing. I recommend for a meal anytime of day when in the Scottsdale area.

We had a lovely evening at the old town Herb Box. Our server was excellent. We split the vegan Nosh board, but I wouldn't call it a Nosh board at all. It was a big plate of vegetables and quinoa. The stars were the Brussels sprouts and kale. The quinoa was bland. I guess we were expecting more of like a charcuterie type board.

Good, friendly service. Food presented very nicely. But those were sadly the only positives. We tried five different dishes and everything was just mediocre. A real let down while trying to have a great dinner out on vacation. Would not recommend unless you like Applebees type taste.

I got my sandwich through a group order. it was my first time trying this. It was the steak sandwich. It was a really great sandwich, but I had to peel the top part of my whole sandwich. I wish I could've taken pictures, but everyone in my group could confirm that there was nothing but lint on top of the whole bun and it wasn't like a small amount. It was like a really drastic amount. At first I was taking it off, but it was so much that it made better sense for me to peel the top off, which made my sandwich a little less enjoyable. I would like to give this place another try and maybe just report my concerns to the appropriate people, it could've been a small error.

Just ordered two burgers via Door Dash. After "choking" on the price for two hamburgers and adding a meager $5 dasher tip, we decided to place the order anyway. Burger was cooked as requested but was awful! Bread was old, potato's were bland and was an absolute disgrace to charge this amount. We will be taking Herb Box off our list permanently, after dining there many times over the years.

There are 3 locations for this restaurant and I understand the menu is the same for all three. Our young server was attentive, responsive and polite. One dinner guest's salmon was over cooked and she brought out another serving, cooked as requested. The Brussels sprout chips are delicious and the baked smashed fingerling potatoes must have more than one order. My salmon was cooked sushi style and I enjoyed it thoroughly. This is a causal establishment so come as you are and enjoy yourselves.

I've been to their old location/market and loved it. Finally gave their new ish location a try. What a beautiful spot. The outdoor patio was covered and perfect for a Scottsdale winter day. I ordered an Americano to start which was average. I ordered the salmon hash for breakfast. The portion was gigantic so I ended up bringing leftovers home. It was smoky and flavourful. I enjoyed the lightly drizzled aioli on top but thought they went a little heavy on the fingerlings. I'd definitely come back.

Wow. What a disappointing experience. Ordered an iced tea which turned out to be $6!!?!? Had to ask for ice because it was room temperature. The chicken and avocado salad had dry chicken and maybe 4 cubes of avocado that still had the skin on ($20). Server was friendly but had to waived down to order, get drink refills and the check. It was NOT busy at all. Over $30 for an iced tea, very mediocre salad and incredibly slow service.

Came here for restaurant week + we had friends in town. Ordered a bowl from Here on uber eats once and it was pretty good, so I decided to check it out in person. The restaurant is fine. There was enough space for the 4 of us plus our 2 babies. We sat on the patio with misters. Our 2 friends were vegan and ordered the vegan entrees. From what they said the nosh board was pretty good. The cauliflower plate was awful. I ordered from the restaurant week menu. I ordered the pulled pork sliders with no cheese, the filet and the brownie. Issue number 1: they sent me the other table's entree and said we could keep it. They eventually sent my entree, but I realize they didn't even ask what temp I want my steak. Issue number 2: they put cheese on my sliders. I breastfeed my baby and she has a dairy allergy. I cannot eat any obvious dairy or it makes my baby sick! Issue number 3: they forgot my brownie and didn't bring it out until we were about to leave. The brownie was also awful. Issue number 4: everyone has GI issues the following day. The common thing that we ate was the Korean cauliflower. A manager should have comp'd something! What a terrible experience.

When most of the restaurants around Old Town were booked for Sunday brunch, we were surprised to snag a reservation at Herb Box around 10:30am! My party of 3 arrived on time and were seated right away. It was a beautiful day, so we asked for outdoor seating. The restaurant wasn't quite busy then. I ordered the following: Espresso martini $12 Smoked salmon hash $18 + avocado (~$3) The espresso martini was creamy, foamy, and delish. The smoked salmon came with crisp pancetta, egg, capers, green onions, smashed fingerlings with roasted red pepper aioli. I asked for no pancetta and added avocado. The avocado was a great addition and highly recommend it. The dish was very flavorful and filling! The Herb Box offers a great selection of healthy, delicious food with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Service was fast and friendly. I look forward to returning and trying other items!

This place has a cute indoor area, but an even cuter outdoor area. If you're lucky enough to dine with a little sun peeping through like we did, def sit outside. This was our first spot on our itinerary and although I have to say everywhere we ate was REALLY good; this place was just ok. Don't get me wrong, for the value (we came during happy hour which is Mon-Fri 3-6pm), it was fine. Had I paid full price, questionable. First off, Mario was our server, and he was great; he checked on us a lot and was nice. The food, although not the best Scottsdale has to offer, it was good for the price (see happy hour menu I uploaded). Most happy hour items were $10 and shareable; portions are good. Drinks were on the mediocre side. My lemon basil martini was a little citrus forward. The melon mule was very good. La La Lavender was sweet. Overall, it was a good first stop. Like I said, not the best, but good for the value DURING happy hour. Wish I could give it 3.5-stars......but that's not an option.

Stumbled upon this place while in town for business... Ended up taking my food order to go and I have to say it was one of the best side salads I've ever had!! Steak was nice not great but probably because I took it to-go. Sweet potato fries were great. Staff was courteous and brought my food out quickly. Looks like a nice place to have a meal; I'd recommend it.

There are so many protein bowls in Scottsdale, the Herb Box does a great job with theirs. Or at least the one I ordered. We got some cocktails- I got the French martini. It was good. My lunch entree was the chicken avocado chop salad with jalapeño avocado dressing. The chicken was a blacked chicken. It really tasted like a chipotle chicken seasoning, it was plentiful, flavorful and good. And I never order chicken at a restaurant! The bowl was plenty of food, plenty of avocado, had a good bacon crunch. Super good. We came for lunch, they were busy. Service was a little slow and it looks like they were all over the place. Nice and friendly though.

This was my second time at The Herb Box. I loved it so much for lunch last time I was in the town, that I made a reservation for my pre-Valentine's Day dinner with my boyfriend here! Parking seems to always suck in this part of Scottsdale, but we made out with a street spot about 5 minutes away. We assume Herb Box may have been short-staffed for the night before V-Day - our server let us know they were extremely swamped at the start of dinner. The food did take a realllllly long time to get to us, and the bigger issue was that the two appetizers came the exact same time as our entrees, so we went from having nothing to everything at once. We ordered the brussel sprout chips and short rib taco appetizers and a burger and chimichurri beef tenderloin for entrees. Once we got the food, it was delicious! For such a simple appetizer, the brussels were sooooo good. It's just crispy brussel sprout pieces, seasoned very well, over a sauce (chipotle aioli, if I remember correctly?) so we would just scoop up some brussels and sauce and eat it that eat. The tacos came deconstructed - I'm not sure if they normally come that way or if it was only because of my dairy allergy so that the dairy items were on the side, but I really enjoyed getting to make my own taco how I wanted. They were PACKED with short rib meat and there was a ton of juice in the corn tortillas so they were very messy and broke, but what was in them was tasty! I got the beef tenderloin. I loveeee chimichurri, and I thought the beef was cooked just to my liking (I ordered medium). The sweet potato fries were soft not crispy, but at least that means they likely weren't deep fried - so no complaints here! My boyfriend got the Arizona grass-fed burger, which was supposed to come with a red pepper aioli and smashed fingerling potatoes. The sauce did not arrive with the meal, and the potatoes were...literally just potatoes. I mean, they weren't smashed, and they were unseasoned! Like not even salt and pepper! We ended up taking them home (as well as some beef & shortrib) and I seasoned them for lunch the next day, but we had a laugh about that at the table. I really like Herb Box and I'd still go back - I really believe they were just having a rough night with the influx of people on a Monday!

We went here for lunch and had a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor seating in a pause for exploring Old Town. I had the chicken & arugula wrap - loved the lightness of the wrap and it was paired with sweet potato chips. Our server was friendly and guided us through options when we asked a lot of questions.

Really good! Casual place along the main drag of old Scottsdale. You'll pass lots of restaurant and cute shops. They have great service and really delicious food. My friend and I ordered salads and they came out perfect. Just enough with dressing on the side, which gets wrong half the time you order them out even at fancy restaurants. Will definitely come back.

I've walked by this place numerous times and was never compelled to go in but I'm glad we finally did. The restaurant is located in the heart of Old Town, right next to numerous shops and places to check out. The bowls we got were super good and I loved how flexible they were on changing out the protein. The server/bartender was really friendly and whipped up greats drinks. I took off a star because the service was slow. The bartender seemed to be one of the only people there (other than a good runner and hostess). He was bartending, waiting tables, clearing dishes and more which really made the experience slowed down. We just missed happy hour but I definitely want to come back again. I hope they will have more staff so it's a smoother experience but as far as food and ambience, it was great!

This was a lackluster lunch experience. With so many other choices around I probably would not return if back in the area. After asking I was told that the salad dressing was not spicy, so I ordered the salad because of that. Luckily I had it put on the side, because the dressing was so spicy that I could not eat it. When I asked for a different dressing I was disappointed to find out that the spicy dressing was the only option, otherwise only oil / vinegar. If you are going to order salad and don't love spice just be aware! Otherwise, the ambiance was inviting and cheery at lunch. Our server was sweet and took care of our large group of 8. You can tell it's a popular lunch spot, so maybe I just ordered wrong. Womp!

Everything about the Herb Box is perfect. The food is amazing. The staff is friendly and the cocktails are delicious.

Great place for a hot summer day. I had chicken salad, and my wife had the chop salad. Both were really good. Just the right amount of dressing and the berries pop in your mouth. The service is knowledgeable and friendly.

This meal was phenomenal. The entire street was really busy on a Saturday around lunchtime, but they were able to sit us immediately. Everything we ordered was tasty. My son had some bbq sliders, my husband had a delicious quinoa lentil bowl, and I had tacos stuffed to the brim. Cocktails were delicious. My only complaint, no kids menu. I can normally take a hint and tell that means the establishment would prefer adults only, but they didn't turn their nose to us. Plus I was too hungry to pass the restaurant up. We would definitely come back. Just maybe without kids next time.

What a cute spot for brunch! We made 10am reservations on a Saturday and it was nearly empty when we arrived, and glad we made the resi because it quickly filled up. We started with drinks of course. I had the lucy goosey, which really just looks like champagne but you can taste a hint of the pear vodka and elderflower. I opted for a turkey wrap, and boy oh boy, the turkey was heavy! I believe they put nearly a pound in there! The sweet potato chips are good, and I asked for a side of sauce to dip and it was good. I'd recommend for short brunch as the service is quick and the outside is cute!
