    I absolutely love this place! So many great places to eat, drink, hang out, or all of the above! The entire area is walkable, and there's something to do and see for all age groups. Can't wait to come back!

    Very nice outdoor mall with a few great eateries and shops. A great place to bring your date for as easy pace outing and relaxing time. Great for dog lovers to hangout and enjoy the weather during the cooler months.

    Had a wonderful night at the Music and Murals night. Stopped at several bars and had a wonderful experience at Yard House as well as Copper Blues. Would love to come back for more events. Well worth the 40 minute drive from Mesa.

    This is a very clean place. Like the way everything is lit up and how the seating is set out throughout the shopping center. Everything is easy to find, and the instruction boards are everywhere. They got some kind of place to shop for everybody✌

    Convenient to my house and a good amount of different types of stores to check out. I frequently visit desert ridge when I am needing to quickly run into a specific store for something and when the kids are restless on the weekends and we just need to get out of the house. Splash pad. Play area and entertainment available at all times of the year. Great vibe and clean safe environment to hangout and shop.

    Plenty of parking with some shade spots. Ample shade in shopping area. I love the umbrella idea that they have at the moment, creating shade but allowing lots of light. There is a splash pad the little ones love, you could spend the day reading a book there if you don't have little kids, the area is so comfortable. Plenty of dining options, coffee or sweets!

    Love this outside mall!! Tons of shopping and places to eat. Absolutely genius idea to add a kids play area. That way the kids exercise and get tired while the adults shop and get errands done. There is plenty of covered seating outside around the entire mall. Lots of parking spaces and close to the 101 Freeway.

    A lovely place to hangout with friends and family. We have been here twice and it is just amazing. We loved the food, shopping and the view too! Outdoor seating is the best thing here! With multiple options to shop, eat and roam, this place is a complete 5 star place!

    I love coming here to shop and eat. I had been coming for years to hang out with my family. Such a beautiful place to enjoy and the atmosphere it's just beautiful. Super clean, quiet and you can find almost anything at the stores around. There's also the movies small children can enjoy getting soaked at the fountains and there's a wide variety of food and desserts that you can choose from.

    Over all I like this place. Plenty of stores and restaurants and parking. And it is very large area so remember where you parked. The out door areas are great. You can sit and relax and watch the people or listen to the music/bands/singers they have on a stage and even eat at the same time outdoors. Make sure you wear your walking shoes and or you will need to drive from one area to another. No matter what It is a great place to go to shop and eat and get desert and relax. It would be beneficial to look online at the stores and restaurants and a map of where everything is so you get an idea of where you may want to park. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!

    COMICX is "hard to locate" with Google, because it takes you to a comedy club close by! If you have more difficulties, go to the Bank of America in front of it! Good luck! But, when you get there, "it will exceed your expectations!" I"expected" a few kids sites for excitement and lame food.... I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THE EXPERIENCE! The food alone was outstanding! The nachos were to die for, and the French fries were some of the best I've ever tasted, hands down! We sat in the Star Wars section upstairs, so we were in the place possible! Our waiter "Jose" killed it! He was completely slammed on this particular day, but he was highly efficient and organized! We had the opportunity to meet the Manager, "Lee," which treated our large party like royalty! He was a blessing! This company hired the right man! As a local, or a tourist passing thru, whether you have kids or not, this place is well worth the stop, don't pass it up, it's one of a kind all in its own! The facility was clean inside out, the employees were best of the best and the food quality was "inner-planitarily" fantastic! Even a Superhero would kick back here! Have fun and enjoy the entire experience! What a true blessing to have discovered this 💎!

  • 5/5 Eric Bloxsom (. 6 months ago on Google
    This is the entire shopping center, so ya tons of choices here. Mostly retail and high priced sit down food joints. Also, a theater. A nice place for a long night out as all spots can be walked to from each other, giving friends or dates time to talk with each other.

  • 5/5 Mago B. 3 years ago on Google
    Dave and Busters at Desert Ridge is a wonderful place to take a date, a group of friends, a company party, or the whole family! The food is amazing. The drinks are generously served and reasonably priced. Their games are spectacular and there's a huge selection to choose from. They even have a 3D game/ride. There's a bowling alley, a dance floor, a balcony, and much more!! I love this place. I definitely recommend you going at least once. You won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Nick M. 6 months ago on Google
    This is a beautiful marketplace, great outdoor seating, they have outdoor fireplaces, very comfortable chairs, just a very welcoming feeling - I'd recommend stopping by over where the movie theater is, in that little courtyard there is a bunch of seating available - at night it's so comfortable and relaxing. There's security that roam around, feels pretty safe, parking lot is massive, but also expect there to be about one billion people there at almost any time. Great places to eat, places to shop, dessert places, just a great atmosphere and ambiance. They're always changing it up, doing something different for seasonal events, great lighting, just a pleasure to be here. This is definitely a place you could go to chat/hangout with a friend, eat, have dessert, relax, watch a movie, just have fun.

    Today I had the pleasure of attending a Yelp event at Desert Ridge FlyBye, and it was an experience worth sharing! From the moment we walked in, the amazing staff welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a fantastic evening. Let's talk about the food - it was a gastronomic journey! The pizza at FlyBye is something out of this world. Perfectly baked with a balance of flavors that dance on your taste buds. But the star of the show was their buttermilk breaded chicken tender. It was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. A must-try for anyone visiting! The ambiance of the place added to the fun. It's a vibrant spot in the prime location of Desert Ridge, ideal for hanging out with friends or family. The decor and music created a lively atmosphere that was contagious. Whether you're a pizza aficionado or a chicken tender enthusiast, this place has something for everyone. Can't wait for my next visit! Maybe I'll bring a date.. apply within! 🤣

  • 5/5 Shantell Lynn (. 2 years ago on Google
    Desert Ridge is seriously one of the best places to go shopping. Take your small kids to big kids there's something for everyone there. They have a water area for the smaller kids and but loads of shops for your teenagers. Always clean, and friendly staff in stores I have been in. Definitely one of my most favorite places.

    Love this place with all the shopping and restaurant. Really great family fun night with the live music. Great activities during halloween kids really enjoying it. Great decorations for Christmas time. Love the big outdoor fireplace during winter. And the splashpads for the kids to enjoy during hot summer days. Lots of parking space.

  • 5/5 Cyn-D M. 5 months ago on Google
    Went to the brand new Yonutz at Desert Ridge and the concept is a cool little novelty and while it was decent, I don't know if this place will be around for the long haul. It's pricey but fun to do maybe once or twice and that's about it. With tax was almost 8.00 for one ice cream filled donut a s the donut itself was tasteless. Like I said give it a try, my opinion is just one out of many but I look at the value of it and when you have a family of 4 and to go get a donut ice cream sandwich for all and it's $30 before tip, then it's a no for me. Nice people who run it.

  • 5/5 Deb F. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place! Has everything you would need and more. All conveniently in one spot. The only negative is finding everything. It's not marked very well as your driving around and around. And some of the signage on the buildings cannot be seen because of the trees. But it's worth getting lost because you might discover something new or different in the process.

  • 4/5 Gunther B. 9 months ago on Google
    Wir haben hier viel Spaß gehabt beim shoppen. Sehr sauber und schöne sowie witzige Geschäfte. Mein Sohn hat hier seine geliebten Trikots der NBA Mannschaften bekommen. Einige Sachen waren im Sale.

  • 4/5 Elsie E. 8 months ago on Google
    Great outdoor place to walk around and shop. Very nice place if your visiting Scottsdale to bring friends and hang out. Lots of good eats and shops such as Barnes and Noble, Dave and Busters, Hot Topic, Forever 21, and more!

  • 4/5 Jennifer P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of shops and food places to go. It's an outdoor mall so dress accordingly. They have an outdoor stage which has live shoes, music, or entertainment usually on the weekends. Parking is good but getting in and out of the main entrance can get backed up a lot. You can go out of the back entrance/exit near Marriott instead of Tatum for less traffic.

  • 4/5 Wanda C. 1 year ago on Google
    Splash pad is nice in the summer. It is really pretty when the have colored lights coming on with it. Also, nice big fireplace is relaxing to sit when chilly. Not a huge mall, but entertainment on weekends and enough restaurants to choose from. We also enjoy Barnes and Nobles

  • 5/5 Sandra Y. 1 year ago on Google
    During the cold season this is where I like spending time catching up with friends and spending good times. Ice cream by the fireplace is a fav. Movies, dinner or shopping whatever you like is here. It's also kids friendly so we can say it's fun for everyone.

  • 5/5 Jyl R. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. I like to walk around and there are plenty of places to sit which is good for my back. It's a nice place to visit, shop and eat. But some days it can be crowded. Plenty of free parking but rremember where you parked because it's huge.

  • 5/5 Silvia Suzzette A. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a huge variety of restaurants, pretty much any type of cuisine you could crave. Sadly we went on a rainy day so didn’t spend as much time there as we wanted. We did go to a few unique stores and got some wonderfully smelling locally made bath soaps and body misting oil. Great place to spend a few hours walking around taking in scenery and spending money

  • 5/5 Megan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fun place with many food/drink options. A quick walk from the J.W. Marriott!

    Brought my dog to their Yappy Hour Tailgate today. Was so much fun! The place is super clean and set up nicely. I really enjoyed all the outdoor space and upbeat atmosphere.

  • 5/5 joshua a. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love live music and coming to copper blues not only brings live music and great food together but the atmosphere is great! People of all ages come and have a great time. This is an awesome night spot. Plus don't forget they have stand up comedy shows also so this is a perfect date night spot.

  • 5/5 sr- 3. 7 months ago on Google
    I've only been here a couple times to watch movies but seems like it's a really fun place. Especially when the weather gets cooler and we can sit outside with our drinks. Looking forward to it.

  • 5/5 T K. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice outdoor mall with lots of different stores and restaurants. There is a fun little splash pad for the kids to play on in the summer and a nice big fireplace for the chilly nights and winter. The whole mall is considered a drinking area as long as you have a wrist band and stay inside the designated part of the mall if you want to have a beverage while you window shop. At the other end of the mall is the AMC theatre with nice recliner seats. Nice if you want to go out for dinner and a movie.

  • 5/5 Fawn D. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice area to walk around. The kids enjoyed the Splash pad area, and we enjoyed Sids Garage!

  • 5/5 GW C. 7 months ago on Google
    Desert ridge is a great open-air shopping opportunity on the Northern edge of Phoenix. There is a large Open Air shopping area similar to a mall, and then on either side there are large parking lots with strips of big-box stores as well. Lots of eateries, lots of national chain stores like Barnes & Noble, and some discount stores thrown in too. This is as close to a mall as you're going to get anymore and also a drive up box store opportunity too.

  • 5/5 Terri E. 8 months ago on Google

    This is a great place to go even during the Wuhan scare. Starbucks stopped their online ordering for some reason, but As You Wish doesn't bug you too much about masks. I like Smashburger for not bothering me at all. It was slightly annoying that they fenced off the splash pad but kept it running. My kids wanted to go to it, but could only look at it through a white plastic picket fence. This marketplace could learn a lesson from the park at Anthem, they have an awesome splash pad and they have signs up saying, "Use it at your own risk."

  • 2/5 Suchismita P. 3 years ago on Google
    Feels like the food quality is not the same as before..ordered for a pick up for kung pao spaghetti which was too dry.. ordered a spicy chipotle pizza there was no sauce/dip which they used to give with this pizza... they forgot to give it this time not sure... i have been visiting this place from long time but I am disappointed today.

    The outdoor mall that you can only enjoy 3 months out of the year. Who the hell thought an outdoor mall would be a good idea in Phoenix?!

  • 5/5 Tradition R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to hang out. This is a great place with lots of restaurants and shops to visit. We were there in the wintertime which is a good time to visit. But I can't imagine what it's like in the summer time during the heat of the day. seems to me it would have been better to put an indoor mall with air conditioning. If you're handicapped access to the theater is a hike. There's no way to get to the theaters from the handicap parking without walking around all the shops. Maybe this was intentional but seems to me like an access to the theater near handicap parking would have been better.

  • 5/5 Abigail G. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this mall so much! It is such a beautiful location with its fountains, fireplace, and greenery everywhere you turn. There are many delicious food spots, fun shops, and events that take place here. Its the perfect spot for a date night, shopping, or even just a casual walk around when you're trying to kill time! I come here often and am always happy when I leave.

  • 5/5 Robel S. 3 years ago on Google
    It was indeed a large shopping mall with a great product selection. The prices are cheaper than in other malls, and everything here was perfectly awesome. This shopping mall is really the best place where you can stroll and eat some tasty foods in the corners. I really appreciate everything here! Highly recommended!

    There’s nothing more compared to this prestigious shopping center that I visited yesterday. All of their products were originals and branded. No wonder that many people were going in and out to the mall. Also, they were recruiting nice salesladies and sales boys to accommodate every customer like me. I loved the fact that the area was secured and clean. It gave me a reason to keep on coming back. See you soon!

  • 5/5 SAM S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best market places in the country. It offers tons of different types of retail shops and a whole bunch of restaurants from take out to fine dining and everything in between. You can literally spend the whole day in this shopping center. They have big box retail and they also have small Mall shops. They have a great inner courtyard area to sit around. Lots of fun for the whole family here. The center and the parking lots are very well maintained and constantly being cleaned. It is a safe place to go and hang out
