Culinary Gangster provided an exceptional dining experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with generous portions and excellent presentation. The service was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the meal. Every aspect of the experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I would gladly return and highly recommend Culinary Gangster.

My mom and I were at another restaurant close by and had the worst experience so I searched for another restaurant to pick up the mood we were left with and I am so happy we walked into culinary gangster! the food the service the atmosphere was a 10/10 the bartender John AKA Vito was so fun, he told us the store about the restaurant starting in Chicago (which that's were we are from) and we love supporting back home restaurants chatting about his life and asking about ours so personal we loved it we laughed ate and drank definitely recommend for anyone locally or just visiting Tempe

I was really excited to see a new place open on mill, and I'm rooting for this place!
Overall, the food was good. Great spot to watch a football game, not the best for a quiet meal. The spicy burger was seriously hot, I ordered the habenero sauce on the side but it was added in the burger which was a bit disappointing (too hot for my taste). I have pretty high standards for burgers, and I'd say this one was good. Happy to see a thick 8oz patty for all their options. The sweet potato fries stole the show, very crispy and huge portions!
Jesùs did a great job serving us, and had great reccomendations. Service was good. I went in on a Sunday night and it was pretty dead, but I'm sure it'll get pretty active on big game nights.
Nothing that blew me away, but good experience all-in-all. Excellent location in the heart of Mill Ave, great for the city.
Fire experience at Culinary Gangster Mill Ave, from the moment I walked in the staff was warm and welcoming. They all had a smile and a great recommendation for my drink and food. I grabbed the bacon washed old fashioned, yum. They have a cool name for it I don’t remember. Then I ordered some sweet potato fries to munch on while my Chi Town burger was being made. 10/10 on the fires and the aoli they come with pops. The Chi Town burger was absolutely one of the best burgers I’ve had in years. Can’t wait to come back and try the a Spicy Gangster Burger. If you’re ever near Mill Ave and hungry or thirsty swing thru for the best food, happy staff and smooth libations!
