Corbin Bar & Grill

BUSINESS CLOSED AS OF 5÷31÷14
Have not been there in years due to owner rudeness and had dinner guests get sick twice on 3 occasions. Never came back.

As usual these people go above and beyond today we showed up 20 minutes before they opened and took a chair outside to wait for opening the very delightful wait person came out side to greet us, I said I know your not open yet we’ll just wait out here until your ready, he said no problem were ready do you want to dine here or inside? We chose inside and we were seated at our fave corner table. This place rocks Great job guys

This is our night out go to place. Growing up in Sunnyslope this was the Mediterranean (?) Lounge but now it’s a very nice local restaurant. The food, service and portions are great.

It is my first time here and came for happy hr, it was packed and saw i sat at the bar and order the tacos Love their tacos! They are very yummy and everyone is friendly here :)

What a gem!!!
Great food. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere
Highly recommend!
The chips and onion rings are stellar. Burgers and salads fabulous
Thank you for a fabulous time!

Fun and well taken care of at this bar and restaurant. We were a party of 9 and our waitress was so on top of everything! Good pub food menu, I think the majority of our table was carnivores and ordered the special… prime rib! I had the 3 cheese veggie grilled cheese — really yummy! Other options that looked great was the chicken pot pie, shrimp and grits, fried chicken and biscuits and other burgers, steaks for the carnivores! Wait staff was friendly, helpful and fun!

After years of getting coupons in the mail today we tried Corbin’s for the first time.
Our server Jay was outstanding. Super friendly, kept our drinks always full, checked on us several times, helped us make up our mind on what to order…
Food was excellent, we had the baby back ribs (which is probably enough food for 3 people) and the buffalo chicken sandwich.
The ribs come with fries and coleslaw. Sandwich comes with fries, or coleslaw, or cottage cheese (interesting option, cottage cheese)
The ribs were not ‘fall off the bone’, but were meaty and tasty. We also liked that they were not smothered in BBQ sauce, and they come with sauce on the side.
The place looks modern and clean. The seating outdoors seemed nice too.
We are not in this neighborhood often but we will be back for sure.

Neighborhood bar & grill with friendly staff and great food.
My Hubby and I are locals and have visited several times. Our routine is to sit at the bar, have a beer and share some appetizers. Only downside is there are only 3 beers on tap. I enjoy Dales Pale ale, but my Hubby is a hop-​head and there are unfortunately no IPAs on tap or in a bottle.
Yesterday we popped in around lunch time for a quick bloody mary and the famous ‘OO’ onion rings. Ooooo I love their fluffy, crispy, beer-​battered onion rings! The rings alone are worth the visit. The Bloody Mary, however, was very mediocre. Too much Worcestershire sauce and overall a bit bland. We’ll skip this next time.
Other apps we’ve had and loved are the Bacon Wrapped Scallops and the Asian Calamari. Both we’re perfectly cooked and delicious.

I admit, I’m a regular here. This is a great place to go and detox after work or watch some sports at the bar.
If your into french fries don’t miss them here !!! The mac and cheese of the day never disappointments and try the bacon wrapped scallops.
My hubby is a big fan of the pork. I hit this place on a regular basis after dinner downtown so most often for dessert. The cheesecakes are great. The lemon crème brûlée makes me drool and if it’s summer time go for the turtle sundae. They have a small patio outside that faces central so you can watch the traffic go by if your so inclined.

Went here for lunch today and found this little restaurant to be very nice. The staff was friendly and our server Jasmine was very nice and patient when we couldn’t decide on what to choose from their great menu.
The restaurant itself has more of a sterile feel to it, not too cozy but clean and it was really easy to move around as the tables have an even spacing between them.
The food seemed to take a little bit longer to arrive, considering there was only a few other tables, both inside and outside on the nice sized patio. It turned out being worth the wait because the food was just delightful! I ordered the Grilled Salmon and found it cooked almost perfectly, only needing a little lemon juice to really kick it up a notch.
It was served with steamed vegetable and terrific Brown rice. I want to know what seasonings they used on the rice! It was spicy but not overwhelmingly so and just tasted great with the rest Went here for lunch today and found this little restaurant to be very nice. The staff was friendly and our server Jasmine was very nice and patient when we couldn’t decide on what to choose from their great menu.

Wasn’t too fond of their iced tea but that’s alright. Everyone else seemed equally satisfied with the quality of their meals as well. Good little place!

I remember going to Corbin’s a few years ago and thinkin it was amazing. Maybe
my palette wasn’t very good because I went a few months ago and thought it was just okay.
I had the fish tacos, and while it was a huge portion and tasty, they were a bit too greasy.
My boyfriend had the burger. He said it was kind of bland. I didn’t try it, but it didn’t look too appetizing. The bun to meat ratio was skewed in favor of too much bun.
All in all, nothing was that bad but nothing was good enough to put this at the top of my restaurant rotation list considering all of the great restaurants in central Phoenix.

Great service, nice patio, good food. I ordered a cup of the soup of the day (mushroom bisque), which was very tasty. It was lighter but very flavorful. My chicken salad was great. The feta was really nice, and the candied walnuts were a good touch. The balsamic is a thicker vinaigrette, but it was good. It was nice that the chicken breast was a true chicken breast — not a processed chunk shaped into chicken breast. Super tasty! I would recommend.

I have been wanting to try Corbin’s for awhile so we went last night for my birthday. Of course we started with the onion rings (to die for), the best in Phoenix as far as I am concerned. I had the surf and turf and it puts any of the high end restaurants to shame. My husband had the Southern fried chicken and he said it was delicious. Daughter had the prime rib, again it puts high end restaurants to shame. Son– in-​law had the chicken pot pie and
was almost licking his plate! Kudos’ to Kevin and his staff for upscale, great fresh food at not so bad prices. We will be returning.

We stopped in here last weekend for a quick bite before meeting friends. The restaurant itself is cool, hip and modern. Service was very good too.
The real issue was with the food. We ordered the mac n’ cheese and the sliders. Both were incredibly underseasoned. I think the food has potential but I’m wondering if they had a substitute cook that day.

Yummy! First time ever at Corbin’s tonight… What a great experience! Our waitress, Vicki, was fabulous! You can tell she loves her job… We never felt smothered or ignored. Bacon man n cheese, carolina burger, fries are amazing!!!, chowder and wings… ALL delicious! Only con is the prices… A bit steep for us to make it a regular place.

I really enjoyed this place. Hubs and I were going to go to Spoke & Wheel but changed our mind and decided on Corbin’s instead since we had never been there. I’m so glad we did. The restaurant looked nothing like I thought it would on the inside. It was kinda diner-​like but a little more «upscale diner –like».
Our server (Vicki) was wonderful. She was so friendly and made recommendations for us. She checked on us frequently and refilled our drinks promptly.
We started off with the onion rings. I want to say this was by far the best onion rings I have ever had. The batter was light. It was tasty, seasoned perfectly and crunchy! I loved it. The hubs and I finished that in about 2 minutes! The husband and I BOTH ordered their special — it was a 6 oz steak with a lobster tail, fully loaded baked potato and steamed veggies (sliced carrots & zucchini). All for the price of $ 24.95 per entrée. What a steal! We thought that the portions were going to be too small and that we’d be hungry still but when the food did come out, it did appear that way, but we were FULL. The steak was thick and perfectly cooked at medium rare. The lobster tail was so tasty and extremely juicy. The potato was large and cooked well. I didn’t care too much for the veggies but that’s because everything else was so good that I didn’t want to eat it!
We were definitely full by the end of the meal but we still ordered dessert because during the course of our meal, we saw desserts being taken out and they looked so good. So we ordered the pound cake that was drenched in I think Cointreau and served with a side of vanilla ice cream. Ohhh man, it was warm, sweet and perfect with a bite of ice cream.
We definitely will be back at this place again!

This restaurant seems small to me– our party of 4 was sort of «cramped» near the windows and even with a less-​than-​full area, it just felt tightly seated. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The presentation was great, looked very appetizing– table even commented on how nicely put together it was.
Unfortunately the looks seemed to outweigh the tastes– the fries were extra soggy (limp) and saturated in the oil they must have been cooked in. The bun was slightly stale, and the pork was flavorless. BBQ sauce was presented on the side and I could have used 2 more servings to drown some flavor into the sandwich. For the price I paid, I would have expected much better. A friend ordered the diablo wings– which did not live up to their name– less spicy than we would have expected. Another coworker ordered some sort of salad and said it was tasty so maybe that’s the way to go?
I likely will not return to Corbin’s as my experience was a bit under par. The service was decent, she was helpful on questions about the menu and kept our glasses filled with beverages, but overall the food was not all that great. And like I said earlier, the place just felt «small» to me even though there was plenty of room.

A visit to Corbin’s Bar and Grill is worthwhile, even if driving out of the way to get there. The service was polite and attentive and it was a pleasure to see every square inch of this place (including the rest room) was spotless.
The applewood smoked bacon (flavor of the day) Mac and Cheese was creamy, flavorful, crispy and golden on top. They use real cheese here, folks… none of that artificial manufactured stuff here!
The Peppercorn Burger (with grilled caramelized onions and Dijon mustard brandy sauce) was good and appealingly presented although the bun left something to be desired. The typical side dish offerings could be upgraded to the «00» Rings for an additional three dollars. The aïoli sauce as advertised in the full version of these onion rings would’ve been nice to have but were absent from the upgrade.
All in all, lunch at Corbin’s was a good experience. I think I’ll be back to try some of their other options like their salads and desserts. Hopefully, they’ll consider offering WiFi by then.

Hi Katie! Enjoyed your company today. Just a bit of trivia.
The realities of infusing some local personality into the Central Corridor dining scene makes for a casual yet a memorable culinary experience. Today was delightful and something this local can be proud to call ‘In My Hood.‘
I meet a regular guy at the bar of whom I had a lot in common with. Most of our conversation was about our children’s going to the same schools. I bet we sounded like a couple of house wives. «yes what did you do today?» «I did some laundry and you.» «Oh I cleaned the stove» haha more trivia sorry, lol. Anyway.
It’s 3:01 PM, HH starts at 3. This is a superb Oman. My new found other friend crafted an excellent Martini garnished with a couple of queens. $ 6. Time to consider a staple for this afternoon lunch. I chose a simple New Orleans Club Sandwich. Breast of chicken, imported swiss, tasso ham, tomato, red onion & real mayonnaise. $ 11.75.
There are many things that make life worthwhile and this is one of them.

The warm pound cake is so awesome it should be on the brunch menu! I’m totally not kidding. You know those mornings when you want cake for breakfast? This one would be just right!
The brownie is good too. But, not for breakfast. ;)
