American Way Market

Fantastic barbecue place. It is hard to see from the road, but it’s attached to the huge antique shop. Family run – we met the whole family, who were all working one Saturday. They were all super-​friendly. Best barbecue in the Valley, I think. For dessert, try the chocolate croissants. Everything is baked on the premises, and is super fresh and fantastic.

This place is doing everything right. Awesome fresh baked bread and pastries. Fresh salads, and pizza. Great attention to detail, this will be a regular visit for me.

Love this place! The American Harvest salad is one of the tastiest salads I have ever eaten! It’s chock-​full of greens, butternut squash, beats, pecans, pepitas and chicken… Such a great combination of flavor and texture. My friend is a big fan of the Curry Chicken salad sandwich which I think also looks delicious. The food is fresh, the portions are generous, the prices are fair and I love the vintage atmosphere! … That’s a winning combination to me! I do hope they improve on the speed of service and/​or delivery time to table. But the food is so good, it’s worth the wait, so I will be patient while they work on that. I have been making this a weekly stop and wish them much success!

A friend and I went to American Way for lunch last Friday. I’ve passed the antique mall several times and had no idea there was a restaurant inside.
If you haven’t been here, you have to go. Their pulled pork sandwich may have been the best I have ever had. I can’t stop talking about this place and look forward to taking my family very soon!

The food was great! Staff was very nice and helpful. Met the owner and he was very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does! Everything they make is fresh everyday. Especially the bread is yummy and fresh everyday. Love Italian sodas and they had a lot of different options to chose from. I will definitely be going back!

This is our second time back and it’s still AMAZING!!! Unbelievable soft sourdough bread that’s still warm from the oven… Smoked turkey was incredible. I want to buy the meat and bread and dill spread in bulk and take it home! Yum yum yummmmmmm

Great family owned food and service. Definitely personal care as they ask and listen on how they did. Had the cheddar ale soup, pulled pork sandwich and tuna sandwich. The coleslaw had had cilantro and tasted great.

I have been back here a few times for coffee and to work out of here. Yesterday I had lunch again. Honestly, I raved about it my first time, but the second time may have been better. The Cheddar ale soup is still amazing. We can add on the tri tips sandwhich as something that is worth making the trip for. Also I am not a desert person, I eat it maybe 1 time a year. Tried the blondie brownie… O… M…G… I mean that. WOW. Yea… it’s that good. Also I should add the staff there is amazing. They are all so nice, help you make decisions, give advice, make sure everything is ok. just over the top great service.

Popped in for lunch after being visited by one of their marketing reps distributing menus, coupons and samples. The experience exceed my expectations. The café is situated inside a large antique warehouse. They have an assortment of sodas, desserts, preservatives and pickled vegetables to browse while you wait for your meal. I did wait about 10 minutes for my food but I assume that was because it was being freshly prepared. It certainly tasted that way. I very much enjoyed my tuns salad sandwich on sourdough bread and the potato salad was some of the best I’ve ever had. I love that they are only 5 minutes away from work. I will definitely be back in!

These people are doing it right! From the food to service to ambiance everything was spot on. For lunch we had the tri tip sandwich, the pulled pork sandwich and homemade soup. Everything was delicious but the tri tip on homemade bread with house made chimi churry was something to right home about. We will be going back for it! Friendliest staff i have encountered in a while. You can tell there is a real passion backing them. Thank you guys!

TL;DR Dozens of Small batch bottled Root Beer for $ 2.00, UNBELIEVABLE Tri Tip chili (perfect for a chilly day) Sandwiches to keep your tastebuds singing «praise jeebus!» BBQ chicken and Pork, delightful, tons of other foodie options, and a steaming hot cup of coffee available in the many varieties we all love at our local Starboxx. Best of all? Prices. Same food quality you would expect at a high end hip café, only you won’t have to take out a second mortgage or deplete little Timmy’s college fund to enjoy.
I have been visiting this Market since the day they announced it was going to open.
First things first, The staff is fantastic. They learn your name right off the bat and stress excellence in every order they fill. At one point they actually ran food out to my office because I was stuck at my desk for lunch. Name one chain place that would EVER consider doing that? Yeah. oh it’s okay. no it’s fine… I’ll wait…
Secondly, the owner came over and introduced himself to me by my second visit, he even stopped to have a little conversation, honest nice talking, not just promotional chit chat.
Oh and the Root Beer selection.
Let me tell you something, I am from Detroit, Michigan. I know a thing or two about Root Beer. Heck, we invented the Coney Dog. And this place knows Root Beer.
I have had about 10 of their (dozens?) of options for individual bottled Root Beer and every one is a treat. And as if that isn’t cool enough? how about a $ 2 price tag? WHAT ARE THEY NUTS… I hope none of the staff reads this and realizes that this low price is obscene and they should be locked up in a looney bin before I have the chance to clean them out.
On a serious note, they offer a 10 bottle gift pack (pre packed or 10 of your choice) Soda Pop Bottles Gift box. (Not just Root Beer folks, they have all of the classic sodas) Either take it home for your own enjoyment or gift to a loved one. It saved me this holiday season on a couple of in-​laws I was stuck with.
Oh and the price? $ 18 bucks. Good lawdy. lawdy.
Lastly, but certainly not least is the food, that’s why you ought to try this place right?
I have had;
The Smokehouse Turkey,
The dill spread and fresh baked sourdough bread make this sandwich my go-​to favorite. The peppadew havarti gives this thing the perfect little tang. The only thing that makes this sandwich better is…
The Tri Tip Chili!
Bits of slow roasted Tri Tip in every bite with an amazing chili base. Garnished with a little sprinkle of shredded cheese that melts in upon first glorious bite. Sided with a slice of slightly grilled sourdough. (Order the half and half with the Smokehouse Turkey and This? $ 7.50. You can thank me later…)
BBQ Chicken Sandwich,
This one takes two hands, tangy bbq sauce makes this one a dream. The slaw is stacked tall and the Monterey jack cheese is a perfect fit with the fall apart pulled smoked chicken.
Mushroom Trio Flatbread Pizza,
Damn. If you are into mushrooms, (the kind that don’t make you flashback to that Grateful Dead concert you followed for 3 days in your friend Ricky’s ’72 baby blue Chevy Vega) Then you will LOVE this Flatbread. 3 kinds of Mushrooms and truffle oil. Yeah. it’s fantastic.
Margherita Flatbread Pizza,
Not sure if the dough could get any better on this one, the subtle classic toppings make for the perfect delivery of the freshly (grilled?) flatbread. Whatever way Chef puts this together, grab a frosty Rootbeer and cheers him upon first bite. Hazah!
Of the many other food options I have not had the pleasure to try yet, I most certainly will get the chance as I am a repeat offender of this place. and will continue to be so long as they promise to never change what they are doing, dishing out killer food, at a great price, with an awesome staff.
Kudos American Way Market.

Wow did my mouth just experience that heaven… Smoked Tri Tip steak sandwich, with a chimichurri sauce that was sent from heaven. Had a Butterscotch Beer Soda (non alcoholic) that was liquid candy! Haven’t had something taste that good in a while!!!

I’ve been wanting to try this place since it opened and did not disappointment. Rustic homemade bread for their sandwiches, gourmet salads, and more. Look forward coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Fresh baked bread, any soda you can think of, and some local history to boot. And oh yeah, the food is amazing! We ate here for lunch while antiquing in Merchant Square. The food is fresh and the staff was great. They said they will be expanding the menu soon so I will definitely be back to try the new stuff.

I love the ambiance here. It’s vintage, casual, and full of nostalgia. I’ve been a few times now and have loved everything I’ve tried. I shared a vintage soda with the kids. That was great fun and a tradition we’ll continue. I really like their smokehouse turkey sandwich and Smoked BBQ Chicken sandwich. Also their soups are amazing. I tried the Cheddar Ale and Smoked Tri-​Tip Chili. Both incredible.

Oh man, this was so good. I can’t wait to go back! I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was absolutely perfect. The pork was cooked perfectly, wasn’t greasy or drippy, the slaw was so fresh, the baked-​in-​house bun was toasted just right, and the BBQ sauce was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. We also had a Pero latte, which was so nice on a chilly morning, and oh maybe 4 chocolate croissants. So excited about this original new place to eat!

Where do I even begin? This is going to be my new favorite spot, how about there? We had the cheddar ale soup. We had the tri-​tip chili. Had several of the sandwiches. (We got several and shared). The Cuban was great. The Pizza looked great. They have a barista that is amazing. They have a salted caramel brownie that I named crack. Wow. I can’t wait to go back and try more. One thing that I love is they have a ton of different bottled sodas to choose from too. The candied bacon cream soda was my favorite. For
Reals. It’s good. If you are looking for some great BBQ. Some great sandwiches. Soups, chilies. Desserts. Whatever. They have it. It’s a place I will keep visiting. I’m posting several pics too so you can see but this place is better than 5 starts. If you live anywhere near Chandler GO NOW!!!

Love the breads and pastries! My favorite was the chocolate croissant. I have been a few times now for lunch too and have to say my fav has been the BBQ chicken pizza. Such amazing flavor to the chicken; and the BBQ sauce is my kind of sauce! Perfect amount of sweet and hot.
The ambience is so nice all the décor is so neat and vintage. Oh and sodas!!! Vintage rootbeer brands you cant find anywhere… all in one place for just 2 bucks, I took a few of those home for later. My wife may of had to tell me to «Mucho take it easy» with the soda purchases.
They also have a little bakery attached with a window where you can watch all the deliciousness come to life… that was my kids favorite part, made it a fun experience for them.
Im so glad Merchant Square added this restaurant and café; it will be an even better experience going there… one with dripping BBQ sauce and needed napkins.
Did I mention the rootbeers?
