Corduroy

Food is pretty good. Micheladas are bomb. However, this place is hands down overpriced. A 15 dollar burger better be mind blowing. But it’s not.

Cute place with nice selection of craft cocktails and food. Great place for happy hour. I wasn’t impressed with the staff. They seemed checked out and disinterested. Worth checking out.

The sour cherry chicken sandwich is amazing! Absolutely worth every penny! I would be in trouble if I lived close by!

One of my new favorite places in central Phx! These guys know how to make a restaurant successful! The menu is diverse, the music is cool and the décor is hip without being overwhelming (I especially like the dimmer lighting)! I have tried multiple items on the menu and not been disappointed yet! The sangria fruit bread pudding I have had the last two visits was AMAZING!

Loved this place. Our server was perpetually happy. My husband wasn’t in love with his drink so he brought us a new one for free. My salad with goat cheese was yummy and my husband loved his fried chicken. Just a hip, dark, expertly designed, fresh, yummy food place!

I love the décor here. High walls and big windows. A bit dark, but classy. We were dressed to impress in our 1930’s best for brunch and Corduroy didn’t know what hit ‘em. We were a very large party and the servers handled it pretty well. Food came out at different times, but not terribly staggered. In the meantime, we enjoyed some tasty carafes of mimosas. My crab cake eggs benedict was so fucking amazing. The only problem I could find was that my stomach wasn’t big enough.
My husband got their special of the day, which was chicken and waffles. When it came out, he was just ‘eh’ about it. He didn’t say anything because we were part of such a big group that it would only be more trouble to talk to someone about it, so he stuck it out. The server, in her infinite wisdom, came by and apologized for the plate, saying that it was the first time the chef had it listed on their specials, so they were going to play with the recipe a little more for the next time. They didn’t charge him and ALSO gave him a to-​go bag of the enchiladas! Oh my gosh. We were over the moon. Since we were going to be on the road for the rest of the day, drinking on bikes, those enchiladas made two people living out of a shopping cart very very happy. Thanks for that, Corduroy!

LOVED Corduroy! We tried it out for the first time on NYE. I haven’t come across really any tapas places in Phoenix, and this one is located in a good spot.
Our server was great and very attentive. We had made reservations ahead of time because it was NYE, but it was not even that busy.
We had the bacon wrapped mission figs which were probably my favorite. Everything about them was perfect, even the blue cheese sauce that they come with.
BBQ Pork empanadas and the Cuban cigars were very delicious!
Mango guacamole and the tacos of the days were great as well! Warmer chips for the guacamole would have been better.
Drinks were just like I like them, STRONG.
Will definitely be back, especially to try their brunch.

Let me start out by saying that I have been here several times, but only for cocktails. This is one of my favorite spots for an after dinner drink because they are open late and it’s not loud like the regular bars that are open even later.
Lately I have been siting on the patio, enjoying my cocktail next to the fireplace and heaters. They have music but it’s not loud.
Drinks are wonderful. There is a large menu of handcrafted cocktails to try.
Inside is beautiful, plush seating, great lighting and friendly staff.
The food menu looks great, so I will give it a try soon.
Enjoy!

Pleasantly surprised! Location was awesome, parking was easy, Kari was excellent with her recommendations, and they have a good happy hour with some awesome appetizers.
My new place to kick it downtown!

We recently tried this place and had a good time. The appetizers were AMAZING. We got the fried artichokes and calamari and enjoyed both. Our cocktails were very good and they had an interesting selection. The meal was good as so was dessert. However, the stand out was definitely the appetizers.
Next time I come, I’ll bring friends for drinks and appetizers and sit on the comfy couches near the window.

This is a great place in midtown Phoenix for a bite to eat. The Katsu Fried Chicken was delicious. This dish will bring you real joy. Sage gravy covering mashed potatoes topped with split tender Fried Chicken breast. Great atmosphere and the bar staff was awesome! Liz & John at the bar really made the dinning experience better with great service! Definitely try this place for a flavorful meal.

Our server Jacob was excellent. This was my first time and I was not impressed with the food we ordered. Mango guacamole, artichoke hearts, tacos of the day and Cuban cigars were all bland. I wanted it to be good, but we were disappointed. Even though our server Jacob did a great job, the food was expensive and tasteless, therefore I only give the restaurant two stars.

First time here to meet up friends for a surprise bday. Love the Toluca Salad. Great place for groups

Came here for a birthday. I could smell the aroma coming from other people’s food as I walked by their table. It was delicious. The 4 of us ordered different entrees and had a taste of everyone’s meal. All entrees were delicious. Can’t wait to make it back.

So, I’ve come here for HH and brunch and have really liked it. The interior is really nice with comfortable seating, a lot of attention to original detail, and great noise dampening, which I greatly appreciate
The menu is diverse and our brunch was really yummy. The place encourages lingering and the staff is attentive. I was happy they were able to make recommendations with confidence.
I think this place is continuing to establish its identity and have some suggestions:
Continue refining your menu to present the things you do well. Asparagus with egg? Yes! Poutine? Not so much. Waffles? Yes, please!
Continue working on ambiance. Perhaps some jazz would go nicely with the setting.
I wish tou the very best, Corduroy, and will be back to see you soon

Decided to give this place a try with the misses for date night and we were both very happy we did!
We shared some sweet potato tots that were crisp and delicious and smoky paprika hummus that came with veggies, pita, and crostini to dip to start. The hummus was a nice sized portion and it had a very unique smoky taste we both enjoyed immensely.
For dinner I had mussels in white whine, butter, and garlic sauce with tomatoes and pancetta. It also come work toast points to sop up the delicious garlicky broth. The muscles were very fresh and tender. Close to if not the best I’ve had in AZ. Along with that I ordered the bacon wrapped mission figs that came with apples and grapes. Perfect pairing with the crispy salty bacon and the sweet figs and fruit. I would definitely order both again!
The Vegan :) had a corduroy salad that was chock full of tons of veggies, nuts, and legumes with a lemony vinegarette. Rave reviews were given for the salad as well.
The service was tentative and the gentleman that helped us were very quick and extremely pleasant.
Beautiful old décor with exposed brick and stamped tin ceiling. Warm atmosphere and quite relaxing.
All in all it was a fantastic meal with exceptional service and we were both very happy with the entire experience. We will be back! Support local and give them a try. With so many options on the menu in varying size plates and snacks you are sure to find something you like.

Disappointing. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, and the service is pretty good. I was expecting good to great food since it’s owned by the same people who run Fez and Switch. Had a salad which I thought had way too much cheese on it. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name but I expect really fresh, beautiful ingredients in a salad. These ingredients were fresh, but everything was just so… blah. It felt like a salad I could make at home.
Husband had the corduroy burger which was cooked over what he wanted. It was pretty good, but again, nothing remarkable that made him think YES WE SHOULD COME BACK!
I’d be willing to give it another go since we only tried two things off their menu and again, it’s owned by people who have some pretty yummy restaurants in Phoenix. It might take me a little convincing, though.

We decided to check out this fairly new spot on our last date night. Let me start off by saying that this restaurant was absolutely beautiful inside, very hip looking with choices of booth seating or tables. The booth was huge and cozy. They also have a cute patio, but it was too hot for that.
We started with the Cuban cigars by suggestion of our waiter. They were like Cuban sandwiches in an egg roll. Very yummy! The drinks we got, however, were kinda gross. I got a cocktail called «the rooster” — tasted like tar; and my Mr got an old fashioned and said it was not very good, either. We still drank them bc they were expensive.
For dinner I got the vegetarian curry and it was SO GOOD! It’s a red curry with ordinary veggies but I loved it. My Mr got the chicken pri-​pri and that was SOOOO good, too.
Would for sure come back and eat here with friends again!

So I tried hitting up this place on a Monday and it was freaking closed! Who doesn’t do business on a Monday? Well, these guys don’t!
So I tried to come again on another day. The entrance is on the south side of the building. A nice gentlemen sat us and you see the bar area first to the left, and the dining area is farther to the left. We decided to sit at the bar since well, there was no else there and I didn’t want to walk farther. Yes, I’m lazy and I had heels on.
Our server was really attentive and gave us recommendations. We decided on the Crispy Cuban Cigars and the Corduroy Cob Bacon Burger with sweet potato tots. The crispy Cuban cigars are like wonton eggrolls with ham, pulled pork, caramelized onions, and gruyère. It came with grain mustard aioli. This I did not really enjoy. I guess being Asian, my taste buds tell me that those ingredients don’t go together as an eggroll. The burger though — that burger is a damn good burger and it was a great size! Bacon, Fontina, Piquillo Peppers, Arugula, Lemon Aioli, Crispy Leeks on a Flax Bun — freaken yummy! The sweet potato tots were good too!
The bill came to about $ 30, which isn’t a cheap meal. I would skip the Cuban Cigars and get the burger for lunch. I plan to come back for happy hour and sample other small plates!

Tried this recommendation out because my friend heard really good things about it. I arrived early so walked in and there was no hostess, which was okay, but just as the hostess walked up, two of the wait staff got in a tiff in front of me over tables and where someone had been seated. I did feel bad for the hostess, as she was obviously extremely uncomfortable with the wait staff and as soon as they left, she quickly apologized to me and apologized two more times that evening.
Once seated I had a chance to look around and love that it was obviously a building from a long time ago and the seating and lighting was very comfortable. I could see going on a date here or even bringing clients.
The wine list was limited, with very dry wines on it and I was even told that the lady who chose the wines did not like sweeter wines, therefore, did not include any when she created her list. The unsweetened tropical tea was brewed well though and I could tell it was fresh.
The menu itself is what everyone is saying, so many good choices and hard to narrow it down. I did feel their appetizers were somewhat pricey, so originally we were not going to order any, but ended up going with the Potato Croquettes, Bacon Wrapped Figs and the Boursin Mac and Cheese with Beef Skewer to share.
The Potato Croquettes arrived hot, crispy on the outside and very smooth mashed potato like in the inside. My friend and I enjoyed them, but felt they were lacking in flavor. They drizzled them with a ranch type dressing, but it was not the right match. A more spicy ranch or something more flavorful as a drizzle would have been better.
The Bacon Wrapped Figs came out and were no bigger than a Root Beer Barrel Candy and there were only four of them. They came with 4 slices of Apple, (not enough), a small side of grapes, some crustini bread, (way too much) and a condiment dish with more ranch that had some blue cheese crumbles on top. We weren’t quite sure what we were doing so we scooped dressing on the toasted bread, put the apple slices on it and ate it. The dressing was so runny it leaked right through the bread and all over our fingers so we just gave up and each had two figs. The figs were good, but tasted mostly of bacon, however there was a hint of sweet with them.
We both enjoyed the Boursin Mac and Cheese which had English Peas in it as well as a heavy garlic and pepper taste. One skewer of beef came out and we each took two pieces, it did come out cooked to order and perfect. My friends first piece had a huge piece of grizzle in it and so she gave me her other piece; my three pieces were fine.
I would come back here again and try some other items, if the patio is open, it’s super cute with couches as well. I think atmosphere was big here and the selection good.
