Had lunch here and ordered the sandwich, soup, salad. Everything was very good. The salad was very good and the chicken soup was tasty. I would definitely order the same plate again. The burgers looked great, will be back to order a burger again soon. The place was really nice, music was a little loud, but it was a great atmosphere. I’ll come back and order a signature cocktail next time as well, they sounded very good.

Pretty good layout and the service isn’t bad. The food was pretty good, had a burger and a beer. There’s nothing wrong with this place but nothing outstanding either. I’ll be back because it’s in a convenient place but won’t go out of my way.

My favorite three burgers in Phoenix and that’s saying a lot. Usually a great chill atmosphere. Unlock bonus deals if you bike in.
Their parking lot sucks unless you happen to pull in the only «correct» direction and are driving a little short and narrow car.

I love this place, it reminds me of a place I used to go as a kid in Cheyenne. Relaxing and quiet with a tasty menu and a good atmosphere. Plenty of seating and nice big backed booths for a quiet dinner. The sandwiches are delicious and the mac and cheese is a big hit with the kids.

We tried Spoke & Wheel today for Lunch. It was really Good! My husband had the original Hatch Green Chili Burger. He loved it. He didn’t want the honey on it and I talked him into it. He said it really was delish with it on there.
I had the Sausage Panini. I’m glad I chose it, wow tasted so flavorful. We shared Nacho Mamas. I’ve had Nachos at a lot of places. These were just a few Large chips, but each were covered in toppings. I Loved them! My husband loved that football was on a million TVs. For me, I wish it wasn’t but this is a tavern so it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. WE Will be back!!!

First time this afternoon for lunch. It was five of us and we all ordered something different. Blackened Chicken Sandwich: My husband says it was the best ever. I tasted it and it was wow! The hatch chilies on it were so so fantastic. Son had the steak and onion soup baked with gruyère cheese. I tasted that too and it was WOW!!! Cousin had a Tuna Burger with parmesan fries! I tasted it as well. Perfect size bun! Amazing flavors! That was WOW as well. Nephew had the Fish and chip and he loved it. No I did not taste his. I had the chicken wings that were awesome. Cousin had the Sangria which she loved. Son had the Happy Hour Malbec which he liked as well. This is where we are going for Super Bowl. Tired of going to sports bars with bad food. Reasonable pricing as well!

Alright. I’ve been back several times since my first review. It’s just too good to not have 5 stars. When I first reviewed it I had really only eaten one thing there. I’ve had a bunch of stuff on the menu and all of it is delicious. They have banana stuffed churros with ice cream. I realize most of you read the previous sentence, got up, got dressed, left your house, drove to Spoke & Wheel, and ordered the banana stuffed churros already. However, you would have missed out because I’m about to start talking about tacos. They have some super delicious street tacos. Just go there and order something. If it’s no good it’s probably not the food. You are the no good one.
I’m hungry now.

So, I really wanted to love this place. I saw news channel 3 broadcasting this place as dog-​friendly with great food and drinks. We drove down from the north valley to check it out. We brought our 6 month old baby and our dog to enjoy a family meal together which we rarely get to do.
I ordered the Sonoran hotdog. It was awful. Extremely dry, bad bun and not much flavor except for the mustard and salty dog. The hotdog itself was hard, crunchy and old looking. I am a huge foodie and always finish all my food… this, I could not. It was that bad. I hardly ever take time to write a review unless something is spectacular or so awful that I want to help others save their money.
My husband ordered the the truffle burger and mac and cheese. Burger was mediocre at best. Mac and cheese was so bland, I looked to make sure it wasn’t buttered pasta.
We definitely will not be returning here. If you live in the area and are looking to just ride in on your bike and have a beer this place will serve just fine… other than that, save your money and go somewhere else.

We were Wheeled in by this place;) Very cool! Really liked how open this place felt! Right when you walk in, it just felt so warm and cozy. Tons of seating with a nice large bar on one side. And a large covered patio area outside. We sat inside. It was too hot still to sit on the patio. The lighting was just right. The booth was nice and comfy. They had a nice full bar drink selection. Good Happy Hour prices. We were just there for burgers and soda’s that night though. We had the Spoke and Wheel Burger: caramelized onions, jalapeños, cheddar, sweet potato, arugula, sweet chili sauce. It was a good burger with a nice kick. There isn’t one thing I didn’t enjoy on this burger. It surprisingly went together very well. The other burger we got was the Hatch Green Chili Burger: honey, hatch green chili, pico de gallo, queso anejoenchilado (mexican feta style cheese.) This one was a tad disappointing. Not as much flavor as I was expecting. But still a good burger. We both got the delicious parmesan garlic fries. I look forward to coming back and trying a few new things.

Friendly atmosphere, comfortable seating, phenomenal service.
I loved my experience here and truly appreciated the attentiveness of our server. I had order a tart mixed drink so when my side of sautéed garlic kale came out, it just wasn’t mixing well. I didn’t bring this up with the server since it was a «me» issue but when he noticed the uneaten side he went out of his way to fix it. Truly a neat place.

Tasty stop when biking in the area. Weather your on the canal nearby or taking the Murphy Bridal Path (bike, walk, horseback). This is a great stop at the top of the line. Great beer and food and family friendly.
To the staff at Spoke and Wheel. NICE JOB!

Hang in there, Spoke & Wheel. You are misproving what we all have been (gulp) silently wondering: When will you close your doors? Everyone else failed in that location?
Hands-​down they have figured out some great things with their business plan. Inviting those pedaling by to stop in for Happy Hour deals ANYTIME when you ride your bike.
Oh, and happy hour? Great deals especially if you like street tacos (the beans are SO FREAKING GOOD!), burgers, and attractively-​priced craft pitchers.
Keep it up, crew, nice to see your audience grow and we’ll keep supporting!

Came in for linner, the time between lunch and dinner, to grab happy hour… Very empty which was a surprise. As we enjoyed our $ 5 cocktails we overheard about a Family Feud style game played on the multiple tvs the align the walls. We ordered the trio of tacos which included: house made chicken chorizo, steak and grilled fish. These were served with a cup of spicy, white, pinto beans and a green salsa… Nothing too spicy We liked the freshness of the food. I will return for sure.

Awesome place in the city, especially for cyclists! We rode here with a group from Rio Vista park and were thrilled to find the outdoor patio with lots of bike parking and a waiter who kept the water pitcher full! The burger was great as was all of the other food. This is an awesome biking destination. My only real complaint was that the misters outside were a little overambitious– all of the food at the table was wet within a minute or two.

Fun neighborhood bar and restaurant.
I have been to Spoke and Wheel at least once or twice a month since July of 2015.
Location: north central. The parking is easy, in a lot to the south of the restaurant.
Food: The food is OK. I eat mostly vegetarian and have been able to find foods. The tomato soup was surprisingly decent, and the pretzels/​cheese are OK. The vegetable side dishes have been tasty though a bit overly oily.
Service: fast and friendly *usually*. However, sometimes it takes forever to get checks.
Events: This particular location has Team Trivia on Saturdays evenings at 6pm. They do take reservations, and I am often editing the reservations since our group ranges from seven to 15 people at any given Saturday. The Team Trivia hosts have changed almost every time I attend, but it’s easy and free to play.

This place has a quiet sports bar type of feel to it. With the open dining room and the menu. We were not sure what to expect with the name «Spoke and Wheel». We tried the Mack and cheese with fresh fruit fish and chips three street tacos and the burger with garlic Parmesan fries. The fish and chips was bland fish that was fried with a plain tempura on it, however the regular fries were tasty as if they were cooked in a high-​quality oil. The street tacos had excellent presentation and the steak taco was my favorite of them. The burger was outstanding as you could taste the quality of beef. The garlic Parmesan fries were overwhelmingly garlicky and would probably knock Dracula dead! Not sure we would come back because there was nothing to write home about out of the four meals we had.

Our server Jay was my personal highlight, if for no other reason than getting to hear him try and pronounce Kazivah’s super cool name. He was pretty attentive, and single-​handedly cleared our table for a group photo, which he took. This guy was a one man show.
The guac and chips was a-​ok standard fare. The mac-​n-​cheese was sub-​par, but the green chile burger was pretty good. Even though the bloody mary was way spicy, J said it could be one of her favorites.
Not really much more to say than that. The booth was comfortable. Scooch over yous! ;)

After a day of pedicures, we wanted some grub. Kazi H. said this place was more of her style so voila~ Four famished individuals stumbled into this cute little place. The food was decent, the staff was friendly, and I had a lovely time!
Let me first say that their Bloody Mary is amazing. Good flavor, nice heat [although a bit too spicy for me but that’s because I’m weaksauce], and what a generous serving. No skinny collins glasses here! Anywho, I got the Sonoran dog with the mac and cheese. What can be said about a deliciously grilled hot dog with bacon, tomatoes, beans, mustard, mayo, and grilled onions? It hit the spot although my bun completely fell apart about halfway through. I’m a slow eater and I had great company that kept me distracted and laughing! The mac and cheese was alright, nothing spectacular to write home about. I also got to try the chips and guacamole which I apparently forgot to take a picture of. Oh well! It’s just regular guacamole and chips, y’all. Nothing fancy.
Would I be back? I probably would stop by if I were in the area for that Bloody Mary. Jayzus!
