My wife and I love this place.
The outside ambience is so pleasing, especially on a sunny winter afternoon.
There are many vegetarian options here, which is kind of a big deal to find in a US restaurant.
Their Mac n cheese, as always, is like nowhere else.
Tried veggie quesadilla for the first time and loved it.
Veggie sandwich was good too.
Topped it off with triple chocolate brownie which was delicious (with no dearth of brownie).
Also tried Spellbinder ipa from our local Phoenix brewery on server’s recommendation and I can’t say how much I loved it.
If you haven’t visited this little gem of a place, would highly recommend.


This is a great place to hang out in.
Food was incredible delicious!! Not your usual cheese steak but it was amazing!!! Drinks were great! Beer was very cold.


Looking for a fun, laid back place to hang out with friends in Central Phoenix, then The Main Ingredient is definitely the place! This Coronado spot has been one of my favorite go to spots for a good sandwich, some amazing bits or just a good beer! The atmosphere is very laid back and casual, with one of the best little patio’s around! I highly recommend the artichoke dip, you won’t be disappointed!
