The Stand

The Stand Burgers & Tacos takes In-N-Out Burger’s keep-it-simple philosophy, and adds Arcadia flair by making the burger more upscale (and more expensive) and putting tacos on the menu. While some of the items are forgettable, most of the menu is so satisfying that you may soon be a regular if you live in the […]

Ted’s Hot Dogs

It’s true: The hot dogs here are out-of-the-world terrific: Plump and juicy and cooked just right; crispy on the outside and moist and meaty on the inside. The brats are beautiful and just as yummy, and both are served on fluffy white buns served toasted or plain. But we have to admit that we go […]

The Turf Restaurant & Pub

Do what you like to Turf’s classic Caesar Salad. You can add chicken, shrimp, tuna, even calamari; it’s still one of the best Caesars in town, made with fresh, crisp Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese grated over homemade croutons and tossed with a perfectly made, lemony dressing. Follow this perfect salad with a traditional boxty, a […]

Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers

Setting foot in Two Hippies Magic Mushroom Burgers is like walking into a ’60s time capsule. It’s a shrine to kitsch, with walls plastered in trippy blacklight posters, vintage toys and lunchboxes tucked into every nook. The pricing is a throwback, too — five bucks will get you a burger, fries, and a drink. The […]

Wimpy’s Paradise

Popeye would gladly pony up for the old-fashioned burgers and ice cream that are this diner’s specialty. Wimpy’s takes its name from the hamburger-obsessed character in the famous Popeye the Sailor Man comic strip, and serves Chandlerites the Wimpy’s Original Burger, which comes with either a half- or third-pound patty and allows diners to choose […]

Yoli’s Cafe

A nice little gem in small house with a courtyard off the beaten path in downtown Chandler. Serving breakfast and lunch only, this bistro mostly hits the mark with omelets, skillets, and homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast and a tidy selection of hot and cold sandwiches, build-your-own burgers, and salads for lunch. We like […]

Zinburger

Energetic, modern, upbeat, fun and just plain delicious-that’s Zinburger, where you’ll find a mouthwatering selection of gourmet burgers, salads and sides, decadent milk shakes and desserts, and a carefully chosen wine selection. Zinburger fan favorites include the Zinburger with Manchego Cheese and Zinfandel Braised Onions, all ooze-y with cheese and caramelized onion, and the Samburger […]

Zulu Caffe

Ford’s contemporary American menu at Zulu Caffe features breakfast dishes, burgers, salads, sandwiches, and pastas expertly prepared, using fresh, flavorful ingredients, and served at […]
