Desert Roots Kitchen

You don’t have to be an über-hippie vegan nut to enjoy Desert Roots Kitchen. You don’t even really have to be on a health kick. Instead of using fake meats and faux cheese, Desert Roots simply uses real-deal grains, legumes, and veggies — along with a good amount of seasoning and spice to add flavor. […]

Egg N’ Joe

If you have a soft spot for German pancakes and are in the mood for a reliable diner breakfast, Egg N’ Joe is your place. The German pancake is baked in a cast-iron pan until the edges are a golden brown, crunchy, and start to curl in toward the yellow, center. When it’s done, the […]

El Tlacoyo

Featuring the cuisine of the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, and not for the faint of taste buds. While traditional choices (tacos, burros, etc.) are available, the signature items include excellent whole fish, barbecued goat, and regionally inspired temptations like marrow, guts and brain. Read our review.

Fame Caffe

When an eatery feels more like a well-loved home than a restaurant, there’s a good chance some excellent food is about to land on your table. At Fàme Caffe, that table is wooden, adorned with fresh rosemary, and topped with a small bottle of house-made hot sauce. Glance around, and you’ll see basketed fruits, liquor […]

Farm & Craft

Farm & Craft is an ultra-stylish Scottsdale restaurant with a sprawling menu focused on health-centric food and drink, including whole-grain bowls, salads, and wraps. The menu mostly fails to live up to the restaurant’s name, though – while most dishes feature ostensibly farm-fresh veggies, evidence of craft mostly runs short. Wraps and salads are straightforward […]

The Farmhouse Restaurant

A Norman Rockwell print come to life. This converted 1928 Craftsman-style house, set in what’s left of rural Gilbert, dishes out a first-rate traditional American breakfast. Flapjacks and omelets are particularly good, and so is the gooey cinnamon roll.

First Watch

Tell a friend: First Watch’s Black ‘n’ Blue Wrap is heaven on a plate. Roast beef, blue cheese, tomato, lettuce and horseradish sauce wrapped up in a spinach tortilla-who can pass it up? We can’t-not even for one of this wonderful breakfast place’s delicious skillet meals. Our favorite involves a generous helping of mushrooms and […]

First Watch

Looking for a good, quick breakfast or lunch? This is the place to get it. The menu, which features breakfast specialties, salads, and sandwiches, is relatively imaginative, and the service is downright snappy.

Good Egg Baseline

Bet you never knew there were so many ways to eat eggs – omelets, frittatas, crepes: at the Good Egg, there’s an incredible list of combinations and possibilities. Sandwiches, salads, and other breakfast offerings are provided for those who aren’t enamored with ova.

The Good Egg

What do you call scrambled eggs, corn tortilla strips, chorizo, green chilies, onion, black beans, melted cheese, sour cream and scallions, all mixed up together and served with salsa and wrapped in a fresh flour tortilla? The Good Egg calls it a Sun Devil Scramble, but we call it a great way to start the […]
