There are plenty of folks around who remember Chez Nous, a ‘60s lounge that embodied everything you want in a vintage bar. Dark and moody, it made you feel like you were in a noir flick as you sipped your Gimlet. The Womack’s goal was to recreate that environment, and they nailed it. It’s soft […]

Serving an authentic taste of South India in the Valley is Woodlands, an unassuming place tucked into a strip mall in Chandler. Don’t let the Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils fool you into thinking poorly of the restaurant’s offerings. The flavors will knock you on your ass, and the spices will clear out your sinuses […]
South Tempe pitmaster Demetrious Makel smokes all of his meats over mesquite – a rarity in local barbecue. He takes a pedal-down pursuit of flavor, standing in contrast to some of the more restrained, competition-style barbecue joints in the Valley. Top meats include ribs, rib tips, and a really nice hot link. The broader menu […]
Downtown Mesa is one of the fastest growing dining destinations in the Valley, and that has a fair amount to do with Worth Takeaway, a craft sandwich and coffee shop located inside a sleek dining room. Worth was pretty much an instant hit when it opened in 2016, so much so that in 2019, it […]

Chewing gum — and the man most closely identified with the sticky-sweet stuff, William Wrigley Jr. — built this lovely, 1930s-vintage manse that overlooks the area surrounding the Arizona Biltmore from atop a patrician, 100-foot bluff; the palatial digs were a golden-wedding-anniversary present from WW to his wife, Ada. Prepackaged meat by-product keeps the place […]

If we had to pick two things we love most about Xtreme Bean in Tempe, we’d have to go with their late hours and speed. When we’re jamming to get that paper done by midnight and need a caffeine boost to keep it going, this is the place to go. Located in an old bank, […]

The Yacht Club, a seafood concept from local chef and restaurateur Aaron May, is a laidback seafood restaurant in the Arcadia neighborhood. The nautical-themed dining room, complete with whitewashed wooden floors, porthole windows and wooden oars on the walls, is distinctly chic, if a bit heavy-handed. But the real problem lies in the restaurant’s unfocused […]
This high-end sports bar chain has 130 brews on tap. The ginger-crusted salmon is a winner, as are the crab cakes and the seared ahi. For dessert, the beer floats are tasty.

A beautiful little takeout deli and grocery stocked with Eastern European specialties. Service can be scary, but hurts are eased with delicious dishes like incredible piroshki (dough pockets packed with creamy mashed potatoes, homemade sauerkraut or meat). Take-and-bake items impress, with rainbows of frozen dumplings (cherry, potato, beef, lamb, sour cream). Groceries span an array […]

The menu […]
