This Meals That Matter Monday, here's a sneak peek at how we're celebrating DADS this year with a meal that really matters! 👀🧇

On June 21st, treat Dad (and yourself!) to our World Famous Chicken and Waffle. Double-dipped chicken thighs seasoned in buttermilk and coated in a savory, golden crust, served atop our classic house-made waffle. Crispy, juicy, sweet and savory perfection.

We're open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Father's Day. See you there! 💛

Calling all local Arizona restaurants!

We are thrilled to launch our new initiative: Dine Out for Joy!🍴A community-wide initiative where dining out gives back. Starting in August, we’re teaming up with culinary partners to support people facing cancer and meet the growing needs of our community.

Dine Out Feature: Highlight a crowd-favorite menu item and donate 10% to 100% of the proceeds for the week. 🍔

Round Up for Good: Encourage patrons to round up their checks to the nearest dollar at the register. 🪙

Toast Fundraising Integration: Seamlessly add The Joy Bus to your Toast POS—with zero additional fees. 📲

We will handle the promotion. You make the impact.
