The Toast Craft Kitchen & Cocktails

Good local spot. Stopped in here for dinner and enjoyed the tacos (better with tzatziki sauce). The hummus was a little different but good. I've heard the desserts are great and will be back to try.

Cute outdoor patio. Love that they have a rotating cocktail, beer, and wine. Service was all or nothing but if you’re not starving or in a rush you’ll be just fine! Ravioli and coconut shrimp app the best by far. If going again, wouldn’t try to French Dip again. Rosemary fries were a good touch.

Interesting fusion of American & Middle Eastern food. Steak cooked, when asked, to perfection, great lamb burger and crispy fries. Nice and attentive service; good prices.

This was a nice little find. They do their best to create a good atmosphere in a shopping center location. The service is very good, friendly, and attentive. We ordered fried calamari 4.5/5, Cubano sandwich 4/5, Greek salad 4/5, side if rosemary fries 4.5/5, and baklava cheesecake 4.5/5. Reasonably priced wines. Full bar.

Stumbling upon The Toast Craft Kitchen & Cocktails in Surprise, AZ, felt like uncovering a hidden gem in the neighborhood. This spot exudes the warm, inviting vibe of a place where you're likely to bump into a friend over a craft cocktail or a specialty coffee at their charming coffee bar. The interior boasts an open layout adorned with French-inspired art and contemporary lighting, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed ambiance. The seating arrangement includes a few cozy booths and an assortment of freestanding and high-top tables, catering to both dining and casual drink sipping. The culinary experience at The Toast is nothing short of fantastic. We indulged in the FRIED GOAT CHEESE BALLS, an exquisite appetizer drizzled with Truffle honey and sprinkled with chopped pistachios—a delight when accompanied by a glass of deep red wine. The CUBANO sandwich, with its tender shredded green chili pork and perfectly paired accompaniments, alongside thin rosemary French fries served in a quaint fry basket, was a standout. The CHOP salad was another highlight, a harmonious blend of fresh ingredients and flavors that left us thoroughly impressed. However, the dining experience wasn't without a couple of slight flaws. The two-top tables felt a tad too close, compromising privacy and comfort. A greater variety of seating options could enhance the overall ambiance. Additionally, the pricing of the goat cheese balls seemed disproportionate compared to the value of other menu items. Service-wise, our server could have been more attentive with water refills, a small detail that didn't go unnoticed. Despite these minor critiques, The Toast Craft Kitchen & Cocktails left a lasting impression. The exceptional food, lovely interior and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit in Surprise.

Cute, flavorful but inconsistent food •• Husband and I grabbed a table last minute on a Friday evening and we're pleased with the service but seriously divided on the food. We ordered the tahini cauliflower - I enjoyed it, hubby did not. For our entrees I had the prime rib tacos which were AWESOME. For the bad news... he had the pork chop - and that was a rough experience. It was SO TOUGH he needed a steak knife. The cut was very fatty. The cook on the pork was so puzzling since they said they sous vided. It was pink but full of hard fat nodes and tough. He did enjoy the sides - even though his entire dish was cold by the time it got to him. (Yes, I did tell him to send it back but he was afraid he would have the same experience if he asked for another attempt). We finished with the baklava cheesecake which was fabulous. We might be back - but won't be ordering the pork chop.

The other day I tried toast for the first time and I got super lucky being served by Mallory—she’s an incredible bartender! Personable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, she made the entire experience feel special. My glass was never empty, and even though I came in solo, I quickly found myself pulled into easy, lively conversation with Mallory and the other guests at the bar. It felt more like a casual lunch party than a typical afternoon out! I couldn’t find a drink on the menu that sounded quite right, and without missing a beat, Mallory created a custom peach cocktail just for me. It was bright, refreshing, and honestly better than anything I could’ve imagined. The fact that she came up with it on the spot blew me away. I think I saw few others order it after me as well! I’ll absolutely be coming back—her service, creativity, and energy are reason enough!

This restaurant is in a strip mall. They have a nice outdoor seating area. The inside is cute, clean, and inviting. It took a very long time for seating, which is why I gave a mark off for service. Our waitress was pleasant and knowledgeable about food options. We ordered the fried goat cheese balls, which were fantastic and signature cocktails, one bar choice. Both were very good. Our entrées were the Pork Chop and Mediterranean Chicken. The Pork Chop came with a squash puree which made the dish. They also had nice sounding dessert offerings we were too full to partake. I will go back to try more options.

The food was amazing. I had the chicken kebab and my husband had the steak freeze cooked to perfection. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable The ambiance was cute and service impeccable

First time here and it was excellent! It was a work team lunch meeting. It's easy to find with gps. :-) There's a nice patio. But we sat inside. It's July! The dining area is small but it wasn't crowded. Patrick is a fantastic server and was super attentive. He was bringing water as we were getting seated. I typically look at the menu in advance when going anywhere new. I'm glad I was undecided because when he gave us the lunch specials, I made up my mind immediately. Appetizers were ordered for the table. I chose their chicken wrap and fries for my meal. Everything was delicious! The restroom was clean! That's always important for me. It was great experience!

What a spectacular spot! The food, absolutely delish!!! Hear me out...!! Tiramisu, but limoncello!!! Okay, honestly, friggin genius!! Bar is awesome, restaurant is great. A beautiful fusion of Mediterranean/American food. The owner is so sweet and her team works hard to provide superb customer service! Place is very well kept, clean and soooo cute! Thank you Toast for being an exceptional place to dine, drink or even just grab dessert.

This restaurant is right next door to the salon I go to. My husband reached out to me asking, "Can you bring food home so we don't have to cook tonight?" I've been to Toast 2-3 times for brunch but never tried dinner, so it was conveniently screaming at me online to order takeout, which I did. I got my husband the Steak and fries entree which he enjoyed tremendously. I really liked my lamb bolognese which was really filling, but my husband also finished mine since I was slow eating and he "wanted just a bite but ended up finishing it." It's very flavorful and I would definitely order that again, or the lamb burger next time since I was stumped on which I wanted more. The fried goat cheese balls covered in honey and pistachios are the best thing we ordered tonight and it was an appetizer, but I could picture ordering 3 of these apps and eating them as an entree. Haha! My fat, sugar loving brain also decided to order the lemoncello tiramisu for dessert, so yeah, there's that. Good dessert but still prefer the goat cheese balls which offer savory and sweetness in their little perfectly rounded package! It wasn't crowded tonight when I picked up the food but it is a Wednesday night. Is this a secret little Surprise gem that still not enough people bothered to try because it's not some trendy chain?? It's their loss. Their food is good and they have outdoor seating too. I'm glad to know I have a go to spot not just for brunch but also dinner.

We stopped at this restaurant for lunch. We are on our way to airport after visiting family. Food was excellent! We ordered Hamburger, Tacos and The Cubano. It's the best Cuban sandwich. Rosemary fries was delicious. Service was great. Wonderful ambiance.

The ambiance was nice. Cute little spot. But- the food and service wasn't the greatest. Out of the 5 appetizers ordered, we only liked one (fried goat cheeseballs)... the other four were incredibly bland. And I'm not sure why service wasn't more attentive- it wasn't crowded... overall I wouldn't rush back. Maybe the entrees is better than the small bites?

My husband and I checked this place out for a last minute date night and it was amazing. The atmosphere was really nice and quiet. The lighting inside gave it a nice feel. The service was excellent- but the food.....WOW. I had "The French" and my husband had the salmon. Both were incredible and cooked perfectly. It was a great dinner that was priced well. Definitely coming back again and recommend if you are looking for hidden gems in the Suprise area!

Update. I promised an update after our first visit, and here it is. Originally, it was 4 stars, and now it's five. The food is consistently very good. The bartending is excellent. We had a vodka martini and a cosmo. Both were executed well and were fair pours. The tahini cauliflower is tops in my book. We enjoyed the green chili pork and remarked again about how big the portion is. The patio was shady and comfortable in the evening. Our server, Carolyn was great! The bar is small, and we have yet to be able to get a seat. We'll keep trying...

After a long trip into the White Tanks on our trike, we stopped by The Toast on the way home. Great service, food and drink at the bar! Vincent made me a delicious Lemon Drop, followed by an amazing Espresso Martini! Yum! We shared crab cakes, too! We will definitely be back!

Cozy Little Spot My sister and I went out for brunch at The Toast Craft Kitchen and Cocktails and we had a great dining experience. The Food, Service and Atmosphere were all great. Toast Craft Kitchen is a trendy cafe, has indoor and outdoor seating, with a delicious brunch menu, that is different from the ordinary. We shared the eggs Benedict, Cubano, and cinnamon roll. Our entrees were so good. The ingredients are super fresh, food is flavorful, and beautifully presented. As much as I enjoyed our entrees, I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, it was perfectly delicious. I can't wait to go back and try other menu options, think I will try breakfast next time. If you're in the area stop in. The Toast Craft Kitchen and Cocktails, doesn't dissapoint.

Cozy atmosphere and great food. Do not skip on the mimosas! The mussels are my favorite and order extra bread for dipping! Service was great and never wanted for anything.

Delicious!!! Have been there 10 occasions and have been very happy and pleased with the tasty flavorful foods! Love the Mussels, Lamb. Charcuterie Board, Hummus and Mediterranean Chucken. Everything is very fresh and Tasty!!!Service is good

We had a really enjoyable early dinner here. First time here and didn't know what to expect. House wine = big pour and good. Appetizer of Fried Goat Cheese Balls = excellent! French Dip sandwich = so tender. Cubano sandwich = pretty darn good; just a little green chile spicy. We will be back! Check out my pictures of goat cheese appetizer (best part of the entire meal) and French dip sandwich.

This was a nice little find. They do their best to create a good atmosphere in a shopping center location. The service is very good, friendly, and attentive. We ordered fried calamari 4.5/5, Cubano sandwich 4/5, Greek salad 4/5, side if rosemary fries 4.5/5, and baklava cheesecake 4.5/5. Reasonably priced wines. Full bar.

First time here but won't be the last. Great classic French bistro with zero pretense, just great food. I had the mussels and hubby had the steak frite - both were delicious and paired beautifully with a rosè recommended by our waiter, Patrick. Service was attentive without hovering. Eager to try the happy hour here and broader menu. A true hidden gem!

This was our first time at "The Toast" and it came highly recommended. As for the food: NY strip was medium and I ordered medium rare. Zero seasoning on meat. Au Jus was very flavorful. Prime rib was rare and we ordered medium with a sear. Creamy horseradish missing horseradish. Baked potato had only sour cream and a little scallions. Asparagus was average. House bread was good. We also waited 15 minutes for a manager and he couldn't make time for us to review this before I posted. Because if this one fact alone, I am downgrading this to one star. Overall, I would be hard pressed to recommend this restaurant. David "FIMP" B. Food is my passion!

During our recent visit to Phoenix metro, our dinner at Toast Craft Kitchen & Cocktails was a culinary highlight during our trip. Like everywhere else (it seems) in this area, it takes a drive to get here, and in this case it's well worth it. Here's the real food that Gayle, Ron, Meg, and Eric dined on and enjoyed immensely. APPETIZERS - Fried Goat Cheese Balls - Jumbo Lumb Crab Cakes MAIN COURSES - Pound O'Mussels (Red Sauce). Comes with a nice baguette. This item sits on the Appetizer menu, but those huge mussels and bread make are generous in portion. - Pound O'Mussels (White Sauce) I should have ordered a side of fries to make this dish more complete. - Green Chile Pork - Prime Rib Additional Observations: 1. We sat on the patio on a most pleasant evening. 2. Toast sits in the middle of a strip mall, which makes it interesting to find. 3. There was a lot of white and gray hair in this full restaurant, a reflection I'm sure of the large 50+ crowd in the greater Phoenix area. 4. Service was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen. At the same time, our waiter was friendly and attentive to our inquires. Ron also complemented the chef on the way out. 5. We all thought that the overall tab (including drinks) were reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. I also appreciated that the check was clear in calculating the tip pretax and what the various totals might be.

Reception was very nice and cordial. Karelyn our Server is super sweet and attentive. Coffee Negroni is very interesting, but very good. Brussel Sprouts were fantastic. Salmon and the Ravioli were SUPER. Baklava was to die for. We will be back!

Service was excellent! Food was almost great - sauces were amazing. I had the mediterranean chicken - chicken was a little dry/ tough but because everything else on the plate was spectacular I would go back to try it again and just figure tonight was a one off. My friend had the salmon and raved. our appetizer was the Caprese on flatbread and I could've eaten two or three portions of that. The bread pudding dessert was fabulous. Overall we will return.

Delicious! The rosemary fries are amazing! I got the white wine sangria special of the month it was gorgeous! And sooo tasty and smooth! My husband got the French dip sandwich and he said it's the BEST he's ever had! I love the atmosphere it is low lighting, adorable decor, and so cozy. Make sure to get a reservation! Super fast service.

Pretty happy with this place. My only frustration is confusion on when they do brunch. Some sources say sat and sun. But it's Sunday only. Anyway. If you don't work Sundays then you get to have things like these amazing snickerdoodle waffles. I had the chilaquiles which have a great flavor but I wish the pork were shredded. The cubed is sort of a weird mouth full. I prefer chilaquiles with soft tortillas rather than chips. And these chips are hard and crunchy! Another thing I wish for is more sauce. As I said, the chilaquiles are really good and these mentions are just my preference. It's a really big dish so I probably wouldn't get it again unless I have someone to share it with. Those waffles? What can I say. I tried to get a second bite but almost got a fork in the back of my hand. So.... The cinnamon rolls are out of this world! I've also had their version of a Cuban sandwich. Not really a cubano. More "Cuban like". But it's good. Good side salad. Greet service. Almost conveniently located. Since I work Sundays I probably won't be able to get brunch again but their regular menu is pretty good too.

Was really excited to try this place after living here for 5 years... they have to put more effort into this menu. Got the prosciutto fig flatbread. Was not a flatbread... but a limp super thin crust piece of dough. Was expecting a nice fig jam to complement the goat cheese. Nope, whole fig pieces. The goat cheese coated my entire mouth I could smack my gums it was strange... just put some more effort into this please. Could be a great restaurant but needs some love. Coconut shrimp with dipping sauce was tasty. Italian panini was mediocre, small grinder sized sandwich. Hope to see it improve!

Being from Wisconsin I think their fish fry is very good. The only problem is that they give you three small pieces. I mean small. For $20 you should get at least 4 peices or a larger total weight. Nothing worse than a yummy meal that's not enough to satisfy. Skye our waitress was wonderful as usual. P

I ordered the coconut shrimp and they were dry. The rice was over cooked. My friend ordered the corned beef and cabbage and it came without carrots. Overall, the food was mediocre.

Went there for youngest son's 25th birthday. It's small but quaint. Food is worth the wait. If there was any concerns immediately addressed. Limoncello shot to toast bday!!!!1

Really like this place! Their egg dishes are my fave! Super nice employees, and not too pricey! Give it a go!

This place is so beautiful and food is top-notch! I had the Gangsta Salad - it was huge and so amazing!!! I'm dreaming of ordering it again! My daughter loves their grilled cheese and side salad on the kids menu. Salad dressings are impeccable!

The food was fantastic! The servers were friendly and I liked the option to buy drinks for the kitchen staff too. Will definitely revisit!

Food and drinks were great . Enjoyed the cocktails and appetizers. Would go again a little Loud but not that bad.

Had lunch today for the first time at The Toast Craft Kitchen in Surprise, Az. Loved the cozy atmosphere! Patrick the bartender waited on us and he was fantastic! So many daily specials in addition to the printed menu. I had the chicken salad sandwich with rosemary fries and my friend had the watermelon salad. Both were outstanding! My bill came to $21 plus tip. My friend and I will definitely be going back! Wonderful local restaurant.

Was apprehensive to come here because we had our kids and service dog but they welcomed us and served up a delightful lunch with margs ! Would recommend the French dip sandwich!

It's a very convenient spot that serves good food and I love the bartender and the cozy place. A person could stay here too long.

Came here on my drive from Las Vegas. The service was great. Tasty salad, but not worth $25... the salmon couldn't have been a standard 6 oz piece...slightly disappointed

MOVING FROM DENVER TO SURPRISE We have an excellent selection of above average restaurants in the Denver metro area, we will be moving to Surprise in about a month. We were happy to stumble upon this place yesterday. Excellent lunch and customers without blue hair! We'll be back! Thank you Skye!

We stopped here because I always passed this and wanted to try it. It is an adorable find, cute spot. We got sitted right away. It's not super big, everything is in its place. We got water, salted iced caramel coffee. The waitress was wonderful took our orders right away. My husband got the chiliquilas green chile, and I got the trailer park breakfast.

As I sit here trying to eat the sandwich I ordered, Cabano which was green pork verde with ham cheese and pickles. The pictures will show my sandwich. Had to dig to find any pork at all ham and cheese was abundant. The bread was like heels of bread and almost burnt on one side. I had to ask for a steak knife to cut through the bread. Three rosemary fries were very good and coffee was very tasty. The pickles were mostly end pieces. Service was right on and friendly . Nice clean and well decorated. Would I go back, not sure.

My husband and I have been frequent visitors to this amazing restaurant. Tonight, I brought my niece and her bachelorette crew here for dinner. Vincent made such an amazing impression. The service is always wonderful but this was beyond. Everyone loved their food! Vincent went above and beyond to make it a special night, not just for my niece, but everyone in our party. The Toast has impeccable food, beyond great service and is just an amazing experience. Whether my hubs and I stop in for a drink and a few appetizers or I bring in a special party, the Toast NEVER disappoints! Thank to the Toast! Thank you Vincent! Thank you for helping us create beautiful memories. See you soon!!!

First time here! The service was outstanding! The atmosphere was so refreshing, calm, and quirky! Then we ordered the Califlower for our appetizer! Talk about flavor! Then lunch came! It was DELICIOUS! I am in love with this perfect spot! It will be a new go-to when in town for my appointments! I LOVE there are several gluten-free options for my sister when we are there! I HIGHLY recommend Toast Craft Kitchen!

I don't stop to write a lot of negative reviews but hoping this helps someone else or that Toast steps it up. Poor service. Always buzz kill. No shortage of staff 3 plus a bartender for a small room that maybe needed two. She forgot to come back after the drink order for the food order. Oops. Drops off the food but forgot the silverware. Oops. Salt pepper. Oops. Check in on the food quality never. Oops. The cocktail. I love Bloody Mary's. Saw that this one had olives stuffed with blue cheese and homemade mix. 1/ bucks it must be a winner. The pickle was inedible. Take a look at the olives. Yep smaller than my fingernail. No garnish beside the rotten pickle and mini olives. Food. You guessed it. Just below average. The waffle was uncooked on one side. Good news the chicken was overcooked. Guess that balances out. The toast special my sister ordered was uninspiring. The reviews look awesome. It is either declining or not well staffed on Sundays.

way to go first time there had a wonderful time had the server keralynn l she was very helpful and if we had a question she be happy to help us we went for a late lucn early dinner the food was good try if you like watermelon salad too il post pictures for you to see for yourself

Called 1/6 for a reservation for 5 people for a birthday dinner on 1/13. Show up and they didn't have my reservation which was for my husbands birthday. Tried to get us to sit on the patio but it was cold. Showed them when I had called and they gave us 2 small tables that were sticking out in a walkway with the 5th person sitting on the side. Uncomfortable! We ordered calamari which was "ok". Drinks were all good. 2 ordered pork rib which was very undercooked and had to go back to get cooked more. Was very rare. The eggplant was a very small portion and mainly pasta. Should've been so much more eggplant. Sauce was almost burnt tasting. Waitress did offer a free dessert for the reservation issue. We had to wait about 10+ minutes for the pork to be cooked correctly. Probably won't be coming back here anytime soon. We really wanted a good restaurant on the West side.

Tried for the first time as we live very close. We sat at the bar which we like to do. Positves: Tasty house Pinot Grigio and nice vibe especially for a strip mall restaurant. Just had appetizers. Brussels & Bleu were on the hard side, almost impossible to cut and were served without any Bleu cheese. Calamari was tasty. Rosemary Fries tasty but served without the sauce described on the menu. Will most likely give it another try.

First time at this restaurant with my wife & another couple. The crab cakes & calamari were delicious! Whitney our server was exceptional. Our party had the kabobs, the cubano & French dip. Personally, I didn't care for the cubano which is really a grilled panini, not a Mexican/style sandwich. Overall, we will be back to try other offerings, but I know we will order crab cakes again. They were so yummy. We were taken aback by the shabby condition of the dessert menu. How tacky for such a nice place.

We were looking for a new place to eat in Surprise for Easter lunch. The menu and reviews online looked great so we decided to give this place a try. We didn't have reservations but the staff were great and found us a table quickly. The atmosphere is fun with great outdoor seating. The menu options for brunch were very limited with about 9-10 options. It was disappointing to not have a bigger menu selection. I understand holiday hours and menus are modified however. The staff informed us that they were out of lamb so that took two options off the menu with two and half hours left in brunch. My mom ordered a skillet breakfast. I had the house salad with Shrimp and Joel had the crab cake eggs Benedict. Three people with tip was almost $100 which felt a bit over priced. We may try this place again but it was a disappointing first try.

Saw this place on Check Please! Arizona and wanted to check it out, so we did. It's got a comfy vibe when you walk in, but we were surprised at how much smaller it seemed than on TV, though nothing really wrong with that. I started with the Borracha Bread, which is crusty bread with a white wine cheese fondue. It was delicious!!!! The bread was fresh and the fondue was full of cheesey goodness. Honestly, I could've had that as a meal, which might happen in the future. Hubby got the New England Clam Chowder, which was chock full of clams. He said it was really good, which I believed because he was practically licking the bowl. For my entree, I went with The French (sandwich), which is basically a French Dip with Rosemary French Fries. It was so good! The meat was so tender, the baquette was toasted, but still soft. The fries were thin (which I like) and had a delightful rosemary flavor to them. Hubby went with the Green Chili Pork, which looked like a stew with fork-tender chunks of pork. It came with a side of tortillas. He really enjoyed his meal! There are some other items we'd like to try, so we know we'll definitely be heading back this way again.

Love this place . Drive from Scottsdale every week-end . Very casual . Check please was very complimentary so we tried it ! No regrets .

I was so excited to finally visit this place. My husband called to make our reservation and told them we were celebrating my birthday. He again mentioned this when we arrived two days later. I really wanted so badly to post a great review, but unfortunately, I just can't. First, we had to wait about 20 minutes before we could get water. This was after placing our cocktail and appetizer orders. Our server, who was very nice, explained that they were short on water glasses at that time. Wait, what? We ordered the calamari and roasted Brussels sprouts, and both were delicious. I wish I could say that about my entree that I ordered. I chose the Hanger Steak, medium rare. I had to send it back because it was rare at most, and cool when it arrived. My husband had the prime rib special, which was very good. Our server was nice enough to take something off our bill, because the steak, after being brought back out, tasted odd, like the meat was past its prime. I only ate two bites. The rosemary fries were tasty, so they got that right. We left after our bill was brought out. No mention was made of celebrating a birthday. I'm so disappointed, as I had looking forward to finally dining here. The patrons on both sides of us told us how good the food was here, but that just wasn't our experience. Not sure we'd come back again.

Love this place..Food and drinks are delicious and worth the trip. Wouldn't expect it from a strip mall area, but always great!

The best cuisine I've had in years. If you are looking for great atmosphere, mouth watering food and thirst quenching drinks then The Toast craft kitchen is the place to be. The service staff was very attentive and friendly, running this establishment the way all kitchens should operate. My wife and I had a date night out and decided to stop in and are glad we did. The Sangria and mediterranean lemonade were cold and delicious and they didn't skimp out on the booze. We shared an appetizer of toast that gave us a whole new outlook on bread but the fig jelly, blue cheese and bacon was our favorite. For the main course my wife had the chefs specials which was Cod Tacos that night and I had the French (recommended by our server) the horseradish side was a great condiment to add to a French dip. I don't know why I've never thought of it! Thank you The Toast craft kitchen. We will be seeing you again! Cheers.
