Orange Table Tempe

I can’t believe this place is closed down. It was the hands down best breakfast place in Tempe. Very disappointed!

Had okay service, since the server was new. Not a big deal, especially since I’ve been a new server before.
The atmosphere was chill. Not a ton of seating, but it wasn’t busy on Saturday morning.
Parking: It’s metered all around their restaurant, FYI. The parking was fine when we visited because it wasn’t busy near the ASU/​mill area, but parking could become a total pain, if busy.
The menu was totally overpriced, especially when their breakfast food portions were child menu sized.
We ordered the ménage and the yogurt/​granola/​fruit items. The ménage includes 2 eggs, 2 cakes, and 3 sausages. I order the eggs over medium and they were cooked correctly. They were able to make the cakes gluten free, which made then less fluffy than traditional cakes, just another fyi. The sausage was good, nothing special.
Gluten Free Peeps: They have gluten free bread so 1) you can order toast; 2) you can order french toast; or 3) they can substitute any of the meals that have cake items included with a particular meal, with the french toast gluten free bread item instead. Their pancake flour is wheat based and granola is not gluten free. They didn’t charge me extra for the substitution, which was cool.
Only reason the stars are low is the overpriced meal points coupled with small portions… and their breakfast food isn’t anything to write home about.

Amazing service and DELICIOUS food! Moved to Tempe a few months ago and was getting tired of my regular breakfast routine so decided to give Orange Table a try and I’m blown away! Definitely will be back multiple times per week. 100% give it a try!

Although the help needs help in customer service, the food was delish. Keep in mind when you go, you’re there for the food.

Awesome brunch and cocktail menu. Bonus outside seating area!

The good– they take reservations
The bad– it’s still crowded/​understaffed
The ugly-​not the prettiest decorations
But for more a appropriate tag line, Orange Table is all about «The Missing»
–milk
–paper towels in the bathroom
–coffee
WaitWhat?! Yes! They ran out of coffee. How does that even happen? It’s a breakfast joint and people want coffee on a Sunday morning.
And all the extra little things were missing:
–spoon with coffee (once it finally came)
–cream with coffee (requested when ordered)
–Bloody Mary (had to ask for it 3 times)
–syrup with pancakes (who eats pancakes plain?)
The food was ok/​good, but the road to the food was a struggle. The struggle is real. Don’t think I’ll be rushing back here anytime soon.

The location is great if you are an ASU student and you just have to walk there. There isn’t enough parking if you are driving there, you’d have to pay at a meter to park close. Luckily, we came here on a Sunday morning and the meters were free for parking. Table of 5 and got seated fairly quickly, we also got our food fairly quickly. Service is good but food is not so great, although the food presentation is nice. I am taking a star off because we were sweating as the AC was not working and we were promised that it would have been fixed in 15 minutes after we sat down but we finished eating and the AC was still not on. Personally there are better and cheaper breakfast places around Tempe.

We had been to the original Orange Table and loved it, so we were very excited to see it had moved to Tempe and was light rail accessible. The space is nice, but nothing over the top. The service was good, but a little slow sitting at the bar. The food was fantastic — I enjoyed a hot chocolate and the Greek omelette… yummy! My husband had a combo breakfast and said the pancakes were some of the best. We’ll definitely be back!

Every part of the rueben is made in house, and every part is basically perfect. The flannels and pancakes look delicious.
The décor and the space aren’t quite as nice as the old Scottsdale location, but they are coming along nicely, and with food this good, I’d eat in a dark room if need be.

Comfortable atmosphere with background music just loud enough for you to hear (background being the operative word), and not so loud you think you’re in a dance club (like Snooze and Postino nearby — where I just can’t go to anymore due to the frenetic music selection and super loud volume). I don’t want music blaring at me through my meals so loud I have to shout to be heard. Lunch time us for being chill and enjoying the meal break. Orange Table is a very nice change and just a block away from those other places!
Of course, one generally goes to lunch for the food. I love that the menu includes breakfast anytime. Today I had French Toast with fruit and a decaf amaretto latte for lunch — it was great! In the past, I’ve had a lunch salad (on which they allowed substitions with no upcharge) along with burger and fries (excellent). I also enjoyed excellent service. I’m happy!

Creative breakfast and lunch menu in a artsy like setting. Outdoor seating as well. Ordered the Maroon and Gold Flannel. (Corned beef, roasted beets and potatoes topped with cool sour cream.) Only problem was that I couldn’t find the corned beef. Being that corned beef was a highlight to me ordering a Flannel, I mentioned it to the server. She quickly brought back hot portion of just corned beef for me to add to the dish. Instantly it was a perfect meal. Come with 2 eggs and choice of toast. The server was also very attentive throughout my visit. Will definitely go back to try the jalapeño pancakes.

I’ve dined here twice. The first time I wasn’t too impressed with my meal. I had a hatch omelette. The chicken was overcooked and tough and the lack of seasoning made it taste bland. Our second dining experience was much better. I had the green flannel, which was a lovely mix of corned beef and veggies. The coffee drink I had was a great compliment to my meal. Service was good and we were checked on as needed.

I’m broken hearted writing this review. Since the move to tempe we have tried brunch three times and the last 2 have been disappointing. The ingredients and quality are just not what they used to be. The veggie hash was basically a side of potatoes with one artichoke, 4 olives and a few beets. The plate was honestly sad. I used to order this in Scottsdale every weekend and it was this amazing heap of every delicious and fresh veggie that I would never make myself. My husband ordered the steak and eggs and it was cold and swimming in sauce. The service was ok this time at least. On a previous occasion we waited literally over an hour for our food because they had run out of eggs. (I didn’t even order a breakfast dish on that visit)
Unfortunately This might be my goodbye letter to orange table. If the quality from Scottsdale was still there I would have driven to tempe every Saturday for you, but right now it doesn’t seem worth it.

Quaint little spot near the university.
As a neighborhood breakfast spot, its adequate & average all around. Where they really shine is with their coffee creations. Cappuccinos, mexican cocoa’s, and chai beverages here are fantastic.

Alright, here we go… This place deserves 6 stars (seriously)!
Let me start off by saying I am a HUGE breakfast fan. Always have been, always will be. Trust me when I tell you this place deserves 6+ stars from the food alone, but it doesn’t stop there!
My order: Red Flannel Hash — if you like beets you have to try this, it is superb. If you are not a fan of beets (my girlfriend is not and she still loved it) don’t worry, there are at least 5 other Hash /​Flannel options to choose from and they all sound amazing. I am coming back every weekend until I try them all and curb my Homemade Corned Beef Hash Fix!!!
GF’s order: Standard Bacon, Egg, Potato combo — Eggs: Cooked to perfection. Bacon: also cooked to perfection with a very nice smoke to it. Potatoes: Best I have ever had by far!
BTW, the breads that come with each plate are outstanding (I recommend the olive bread)
At the end of our breakfast I told my date it was the best I had ever had. She looked shocked to hear that coming from me (critical breakfast guy)!
I know most people are on here to hear about the food. But I must say the service was also top notch! The owner was there working up a sweat as he ran around and when he heard us raving about the food, he brought out a french toast plate called «Bananas Foster». Once again, Best Damn French Toast I Have Ever Eaten!

location: it is located right next to ASU. The restaurant is a bit small, but you can make reservation through Unilocal.So cool!!!
Service: Great service from hostresses to our waitress. They were attentive and constantly stopping by to see if we need anything including refill.
Food: I ordered a Latte and waffles covered with different types of berries. It was absolutely delicious. It came with 4 pieces of waffles and I shared that with my friends. They let me try a bite of their food and I really like the omelet that my friend ordered.
Rating: I will definitely come back here again to try something else.

My favorite new breakfast place in downtown Tempe. Great menu, friendly people and a cool space for breakfast and for lunch.
The sandwiches are amazing, the breakfast is to die for and the salads and burgers are tough to beat. Some of my favorites have been the green flannel, the hash plates, the granola yogi, the french toast, coffee drinks and the green cheddar melt just to name a few. SO good!
Be sure to add this place to your Tempe breakfast and lunch list.

We were so hopeful for this place. But in the process of being seated and ordering their hopeful 5 star rating decreased to barely one star. The truth of the matter is this place is overwhelmingly popular and the staff and infrastructure just isn’t able to handle the demand. We ended up waiting an hour and a half at the bar for our food. We were having a nice day and were in no hurry. But we when asked about the status of our food our waiter JOHN became super defensive and then we found out that the order had never even been placed. No apology, no checking up on his customers, no care for the restaurant or its service. In a belligerent tone JOHN offered to comp the food. I finally asked him To stop arguing with us and walk away. Ultimately he was such a jerk to us we had to leave. As a small business owner I would have fired JOHN on the spot. People will tolerate average food before bad service.
I can’t comment on the food because we never got any.

When it was in Scottsdale, «Orange Table» was our favorite brunch spot.
Now that it’s in Tempe … it’s still one of our favorite brunch spots.
My wife and I really like this place. One time we’ve gone and LOVED it, and one time it was surprisingly just OK.
The first time we went was on an ASU game day, and it’s right near the stadium so it was very busy, but the manager helped us find parking and even saved us a table on the patio so we could bring our dog.
Then when we ordered two sides of bacon, he brought us a third one on the house!
The food is extraordinarily good. The Wildberry Pancakes, the Brunch Burger, the Veggie Hash, the Rustler… all of it is amazing.
However, on our most recent visit, we literally waited an hour for our food. It was very odd. Apparently they ran out of eggs. At a brunch restaurant. Another table near us on their new patio left because they waited 20 minutes and weren’t even able to order with a server. When our food came, it was great, but not worth that wait.
We eventually got 50% off, which was very kind, but this is the first time something like this has happened to us at «Orange Table,» so we left pretty disappointed.
I would definitely recommend this place, but hopefully when we return, it’s back to being the 5-​star brunch restaurant we know it can be.

I have a new favorite in my Unilocal profile, it is the corned beef hash with chimichurri sauce at the new location of Orange Table in Tempe. I had heard about their hash for years but had not wanted to brave the legendary crowd of people at their Scottsdale location, now I know, I missed out. I talked with John, the GM for this location, and he told me the hash was made from scratch — generally, I like the stuff from the can better but not now, their hash here is the best, and this is coming from a hash hound (and that is not meant as a drug reference, though I do live in Tempe). I got the sourdough toast and the bread they use is a cut above — nice and crispy and thick and you get several types of jam to go with your toast, just ask.
As for what is chimichurri sauce, it is a sauce of fresh herbs, olive oil and vinegar that comes from Argentina and is generally slathered on steaks — who knew this cross-​cultural mash-​up of my beloved hash and this sauce would be so off the hook, certainly not I! John (the GM) noted that one of the guys from the Pig and Pickle comes every week for this dish so give it a try — oh, they do add some jalapeño to it so it has a slight kick but nothing too much — just gives it that Arizona swing, you know?
As for cost, the hash, with two eggs and toast is $ 11.75 — and the various coffee drinks are reasonable but expect about $ 15 to $ 20 for breakfast — not bad for a good breakfast. John noted that Saturday was still slow so hey Unilocalers, get out their and give it a try if your someone like me not willing to brave the old town Scottsdale region for a better than average breakfast — better yet, you can easily walk to here from the light rail — get off at the Transportation center by the Sun Devil. stadium and it is like a 3 minute walk. :-)
