Leave it to chef Aaron May from Sol y Sombra, DC Ranch’s celebrated wine-and-tapas place, to transform a drab former Taco Bell into a hip, vibrant nook that’s part retro greasy spoon and part neighborhood hotspot. Along with breakfast staples like pancakes, omelets, and corned beef hash, the menu has some craveable items that set […]
Don’t let the “padre” in its moniker fool you, as the only thing remotely Hispanic about the place are the nachos on the menu. (Truth be told, it’s named for an Irish Catholic priest that owner Tom Boyle has known since childhood). Although its name might be a bit misleading, Padre Murphy’s is about as […]
Who wouldn’t want a place like Pallets in their neighborhood? Fresh sushi and tasty Chinese dishes like orange chicken made up for sub-par Vietnamese menu items at this hip, pan Asian restaurant/bar on Roosevelt Row. Go for the reasonably priced food, the well-chosen variety, the pleasant wait staff and relatively late hours.
Don’t be misled by the words “Conference Center” – you won’t find thousands of conventioneers in this elegant dining room. Palm Court offers a classic, upscale American menu, with au flamb
When you walk through the door of this casual neighborhood brewpub, located among the many shops and eateries of Papago Plaza, you’ll be greeted by a larger-than-life-sized statue of a portly, jolly monk. If you love beer – especially beer from Belgium, where monks make the good stuff – you should take that as a […]

Whether it’s a date night or a family outing, The Parlor is the perfect spot for every occasion. Once a beauty salon, the space was transformed into a welcoming restaurant with intimate seating inside and a brightly lit patio. The vibe is whimsical and fun – and ordering more than one pizza is easy and […]

It’s our own little Whistle Stop Cafe, set in the heart of an industrial park/salvage district. Hard to find but worth the effort, this clean, quaint, country-style truck stop tempts with down-home chili, meat loaf, chicken-fried chicken, and amazing breakfasts (delicious biscuits and gravy, huge omelets, pancakes).

If you can stomach the Disney-esque lifestyle of this manicured master plan on the edge of New River, you’ll find some perfectly good, all-American food served in a country-club setting. Lunch or the all-day bar menu are your best choices; dinner tends to be expensive, with little value returned.
Picture this: You’re parked in front of a ginormous HDTV watching football, when, suddenly, as if from the ether, a hottie appears with a Philly cheesesteak and a frosty pint of Modelo Especial. Finished wiping the drool off your keyboard? You’re probably thinking that no such magical Shangri-La actually exists but it does, and it’s […]
This venerable Scottsdale institution’s floor-to-ceiling overhaul of earlier this year turned an old favorite into just another nicely lighted, neatly decorated downtown restaurant. Problems with early versions of the menu led to a house-cleaning of chef and staff, and a new menu, management, and kitchen crew are promised this summer.
It’s for tourists, but this landmark cowboy steak house is no trap. Have your kids deputized by the “Old Timer,” get your picture taken in Western duds, and enjoy the country-western band. Then settle in for excellent, mesquite-grilled steaks. The two-pound porterhouse and New York strip are the best options. Cheesecake and apple pie are […]

Proof, the comfort food restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale, is the Warren Buffett version of an American diner. A high-ceilinged, expansive room done up in polished wood, decorative tile, and bare-bulb lighting with doors tall enough for a professional basketball player to pass through with ease. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant offers […]
When you dine at Province in the Westin in downtown Phoenix, prepare for a meal to remember.

Start your day with breakfast tacos made with potato chorizo hash, scrambled eggs, avocado, and […]
