This little bar and grill happens to be nestled between two of our favorite shops in town – Changing Hands Bookstore and Hoodlums. Both require hours of browsing, so we like to take a break on the patio at Mac’s – where you can get a good burger and a cold Four Peaks beer. Classic […]
Forget about the pseudo-diners and nostalgia-themed restaurants that popped up during the ’90s. This family-friendly place, established in 1928, is the real deal. Sit at the counter and swivel on your stool with an ice cream soda or old-fashioned lemonade. Enjoy burgers and sandwiches in one of the old wooden booths. The vintage jukebox — […]
The moniker of this stripmall joint in Ahwatukee isn’t quite accurate – the vibe is more Irish pub-meets-IHOP. If you find yourself here, expect ordinary bar food with a few flourishes, like hot-out-of-the-oven Belgian pretzel bread.
Owner Matt Diamond might’ve honed his chops at some of the Valley’s best wine bars, but he and his wife Courtney decided to call their restaurant an “ale house” instead, offering five AZ craft brews among the eight on tap, along with 20 bottles and cans.

Come for the beautiful views, a pleasant 30-foot-tall indoor waterfall, and dependable if not exciting resort fare. The buffet is a bargain at any time, and on the regular menu, simple is best.
We can’t remember a time when the Matador wasn’t part of our lives, and we’re glad. Because life without the refried beans from Matador would be a life barely worth living. The burros here are so big, you’ll end up taking half home with you. Try the Colorado Burrito, spicy and chili-filled and scrumptious, or […]
Never again will we see the days of the old Matt’s Big Breakfast, with the wraparound line of hungry breakfasters at the original 800-square-foot red brick building at First and McKinley streets. The breakfast was simply too good, and the deserved accolades sent Matt’s to a bigger location a block north, then on to additional […]
One of the first things you notice when you walk into Max’s — other than the collection of more than 250 football helmets — is a wall of photos featuring some of its more well-known patrons. Everyone from former Arizona governor Rose Mofford to late basketball legend Manute Bol has shared a few spirits here […]
