Tempo Urban Bistro and Coffee Bar

Food was good. I was the only person in the restaurant at lunchtime. It was an early lunchtime, but the waiter was slow. He was pleasant, but not very attentive. Food was good. My tacos were on such tiny tortillas and were so soft they fell apart as I was trying to eat them. The order of fries is massive! Enough for three people!

really good food and great service. we will be back for sure.

I dine here quite often. The food and service here is phenomenal. I love their bruschettas, they are always a treat, especially during happy hour!
Two of my favorite dishes are the Beef Short rib, and the Chicken and Waffles. The Short Ribs are so tender and flavorful, it is absolutely to die for. Now, don’t get me started with the Chicken and Waffles! This isn’t your typical chicken and waffles. Tempo’s Chicken and Waffles is seared to perfection, the skin is nice and crisp as if it were deep fried. It’s served on a jalapeño cornbread waffle with whiskey maple sauce and seasonal vegetables!
Their servers are always very hospitable and you know they genuinely care about your dining experience. Same goes for the owners. I very rarely witness such kind and hospitable restaurant owners. When I dine there feel as if though I am a part of the Tempo family.
Every now and I see a cook exit the kitchen and they are always very friendly and polite as well. Its nice to see the faces of those making your food and know that they are just as welcoming as the servers are!
To make it easy on everyone, you have to dine here. You will not regret it. This is the real deal, great atmosphere and great food all in one.

Tempo is a great restaurant. The owners Karen and chef Steve go out of their way to make you feel at home. The food is great, always something new to try, I haven’t ordered anything there that wasn’t delicious. The atmosphere is upbeat and inviting. Great local hang out for verrado. Always our pick for just drinks at the bar, dinner or lunch. Also love the coffee shop has great coffee and yummy very reasonably priced breakfast. The staff is friendly, helpful and welcoming. LOVE THIS PLACE. Verrado wouldn’t be verrado without it.

Nice food and their activities really fantastic, friendly environment and service is super best.
Tempo Urban Bistro and Coffee Bar one of the best Coffee & Tea restaurant of the Buckeye, AZ.

Tempo Urban Bistro is nestled in an expanding community between the only two other restaurants in the area. Having recently moved into the neighborhood, I thought should give it a go. Tempo doesn’t have to try hard to get the business in the door (location), but the effort they put in to keeping you coming back is clear. The wait staff is attentive and pleasantly helpful. The food, although a little pricey, is by far the best culinary experience of the three restaurants available. It’s a little bit of mom’s home cookin’ mixed with date night in Manhattan. They have a pork chop entrée that has a beautiful balance of sweet and savory. I have been several times now and the chef has wowed me from the apps to the entrees. Starting with the shrimp and grits, to the lettuce wraps and the beef short ribs with a bordelaise sauce.
But if you are like me, a meal tastes sooooo much better with good customer service. The owners, Steve and Karen, make a point to step out of the kitchen and greet their guests. After a second visit at Tempo they make you feel like regulars. As someone with severe food allergies, this husband and wife team go out of their way to not only remember which allergens are a concern, but they personally double check that the waitstaff has my order is correct going into the kitchen and when it comes out. I’ve dined on the patio, inside with live music, and at the bar.
I can easily attest that from the hostess to the bartender with the amazing smile, Tempo Urban Bistro is top notch! Whether I am riding solo, on a date, having dinner with family or entertaining guest this is my go to spot.

This restaurant is easily one of the worst places in the area to eat. Coffee is bland, dishes are overpriced and the service sucks. Avoid this place like the plague

One of my all time favorite restaurants! The location in Verrado is quaint and peaceful, staff are warm, friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. A nice, interesting menu with some unique choices. I go here every chance I get!

avoid this business. scammers. will be sharing my experiences with everyone i know. more reviews and updates to come

This place was the single most worst experience of my life food is bad customer service is poor and my server had a very bad attitude. I will be sharing my negative experience with everyone I know and encouraging them to review how bad this place is

So authentic. So good. Steve Maynard is the chef and a super good one! I love, love this place! Nothing I don’t like. bruschetta is great. Kobe burger is great. Truffle fries are great. Crab cakes. You name it!

Ok, this is a hard review to write. I hope the owners take notice. I am only speaking for the coffee bar. The atmosphere is great. However, I have been here twice and I’m not impressed. First time ordered the Iced Mocha… it was blah. My first thought was why did I order that I can make better at home. Second time ordered the hot chocolate… Once again, horrible. Did not taste like chocolate. It was bland and disappointing. I really want to like this place. I love the location and the environment… Just hate the drinks. I will just have to drive down to the Verrado Coffee shop down the road. Please add flavoring to your drinks.

We recently moved to Verrado and we’re excited to try some of the restaurants on Main. This place is amazing. We’ve eaten there for lunch twice and dinner once and everything we have tried is excellent and the price is a good value. So happy to have a great go to place in the neighborhood!

Very nice for the West Valley. We drove out there from central Phoenix to hear our musician friend play.

Tempo is hit or miss. Ordered the meatloaf and it came out ice cold in the center. Service is usually ok

Food was very good, excellent service, kudos to the chefs. The Friday night fish special was so fresh and the oysters with the 2 sauces delicious. And I had the ceviche yum yum yum. Great food!!!

Their nachos are amazing. I dream about them! Their margaritas are tasty and strong. We eat here a lot and have always had great service.

Great food but the server had the most awful breath I’ve ever smelled. Nobody wants to gag when their server is taking their order.

We really want this place to be successful but it needs help. Inconsistent experience everytime we try to go there. As a family that typically eats out 5 – 6 times per week, we want a place we can rely upon for a good meal. Sometimes food and service are excellent — sometimes it is not.
They also cannot handle busy nights. Every good meal and service experience has been when there are 3 tables occupied — unfortunately they cannot survive that way.
Food quality is fantastic when you get your meal hot. Pricing is fine if they improve the service level being provided. Fingers crossed they continue to improve.

Fine dining in the far west valley… Great food and owners. Again you might have a server running like crazy but they know the menu and great personalities. The price per place isn’t cheap which is around $ 15.00 per adult plate but I wouldn’t hesitate to visit this place as the cost is worth expense.
