Cheba Hut

Nowhere but here will you find a pakalolo toasted sub(smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and Hawaiian pineapple), but even the old standards served at this comfortable lunch spot are tweaked attractively. Like the Panama Red, a new take on Chicken Marinara smothered in home-made red sauce and topped with Parmesan and Provolone. Even their pizza subs […]

Cheese ‘n Stuff

If you haven’t been to this cute little neighborhood eatery on Camelback and Central, there’s a good chance your parents or your grandparents have — the delicatessen’s been a Valley staple since 1949, and in 2011, owner Stan Zawatski sold its one millionth sandwich. Belly up to the meat and cheese counter and select from […]

Chelsea’s Kitchen

This outpost of Craig and Kris DeMarco and Bob Lynn’s ever-expanding culinary kingdom leaves behind the boutique ambiance and eats of Postino and La Grande Orange for something far more sophisticated and satisfying. Built like an airy, one-story Arizona ranch house, with a peaked roof, a big front porch, and a huge patio out back […]

Chengdu Delight

Chengdu Delight Chinese Cuisine is another fine addition to the southeast Valley’s growing roster of restaurants specializing in regional Chinese cooking. The focus here is on Sichuan-style cooking, a cuisine known for its trademark use of palate-tingling peppercorns and garlic. You’ll find excellent renditions of staple Sichuan dishes like spicy hot pot, where slivers of […]

Chennai Chettinaad Palace

Featuring the hard-to-find cuisine of Chettinad, a dry, remote region of the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, this decidedly grand restaurant on the city’s west side offers many of the region’s meat-centric, highly fragrant, and abundantly spiced food (even to the southern Indian palate) as well as around 200 dishes from both northern […]

Cherryblossom Noodle Cafe

Homey, unpretentious Japanese noodle shop that never disappoints and is sure to leave you as sated as a sumo wrestler at an all-you-can-eat steak house. Go for the specials, like the Cajun-fried shrimp with the crunchy heads still on the bodies or the small, whole squid in a tomato-anchovy sauce. The spicy Korean beef and […]

Chestnut Fine Foods and Provisions

Although this Arcadia spot wows in terms of decor, with a vintage aesthetic that relies on marbled bar tops, glass apothecary jars, and other antique chic touches, the breakfast and lunch restaurant has some improving to do. Sandwiches like the bacon-covered Billy Club and the Lobster Roll are served on MJ Bread, but the sammies’ […]

Cheuvront Wine & Cheese Cafe

State Senator Ken Cheuvront’s entry into the great Phoenix restaurant sweepstakes is a wine and cheese bar with plenty of vino and fromage to choose from. If you go, try the lamb roulade and one of the cheese plates with nuts and dried fruit. For dessert, the pumpkin bread pudding is delish. Like we said, […]

Chez Vous Creperie & Gelato

The French take their crepes seriously, of course, and Chez Vous is proof of that. Owners Sophie and Frederic moved to Arizona from France in October 2014, then opened a quaint crepe shop near Gainey Ranch. There, you’ll find 28 crepe options. Favorites include a savory combo of melted Swiss cheese, a fried egg, and […]

Chicago Hamburger Co.

We started going for the pinball and video games and ended up returning for the old fashioned milkshakes and the Vienna hot dogs on big, fluffy steamed buns. Chicago Hamburger Co. is home of the Original Windy City Slider, and also offers one of the tastiest triple-cheese subs in town. A real neighborhood restaurant, Chicago […]

Chick Rotisserie & Wine Bar

From the owners of The Grind, the upscale burger joint next door in this Arcadia strip mall, comes this attractive, comfortable bistro specializing in rotisserie chicken. And the chicken, available as a whole, half, or quarter bird, is excellent, with juicy and fresh-tasting white meat and wonderfully crispy skin. Also available is a small selection […]

Chilly Bombers

West Valley bros and their babes bump humps at Chilly Bombers to Top 40 and hip-hop or head to the bar to suck down a selection of ice-cold specialty drinks and bombers, like the sweet sounding Purple Gatorade and Gummy Bear shots. Yum!

Chilte

Chilte continues to garner praise. With humble beginnings as a food truck to opening its brick-and-mortar in the revamped Egyptian Motor Hotel on Grand Avenue in 2023, the modern Mexican restaurant helmed by couple Lawrence “LT” Smith and Aseret Arroyo has captured the attention – and appetites – of local foodies. Try the birria, which […]
