We thought we were going back again and again to Fair Trade because they offer 75-cent refills on tea and coffee, but then we started to notice the dynamic crowd, and the cool music, and the cool-weather outdoor seating options, and we realized we were in love with everything here! Especially the strong brew, served […]
Restaurant in Phoenix
Showing 727 - 748 of 2637We love an old-timey Mexican restaurant, tucked into a residential neighborhood-an old-fashioned, unpretentious place that’s more about good frijoles than it is about “concept.” We love us some real, tummy-filling Mexican grub-tacos, burros, enchiladas, rellenos, and tamales made like our mom would have made them if she’d had the decency to be from Guadalajara. And […]
Most of the Tex-Mex selections offered by this fun but noisy Houston-based operation are strictly turista. But the fajitas — served sizzling-hot and smoking — are absolutely wonderful.
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 […]
Famous 48 Local Kitchen & Bar offers a menu of items with an Arizonan nod, like the Sun Deviled Eggs and Four Peaks Nachos, but we want to talk about the hefty Havasu Hot Chicken Sandwich. This is a major slab of crispy fried chicken doused with house-made hot sauce. The handheld also holds lettuce, […]
We want to give this homey spot all the love while selfishly wanting to keep it a secret, but here we are, spilling our feelings. Tucked away in a busy strip mall, this diminutive bar, where shelves of wine bottles line the walls, is gloriously unpretentious. The crowd and staff are welcoming, and the vibe […]
Opened in spring 2019 on the offshores of Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix, The Farish House is a self-proclaimed neighborhood bistro, ideal for a date night or a quiet family dinner. Seated inside this 1899 brick home, you often feel as though you’re dining behind the velvet ropes of a historic museum. Farish is operated […]
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 only thing we don’t love about this amazing getaway is that it is closed during the summer, when we most want its comforting cool ambiance and tasty lunches. Its pecan tree grove provides canopies of shaded, outdoor dining; its acres of green grass open onto organic gardens and three separate restaurants(one each for breakfast, […]
Grab a picnic basket and claim your spot at a picnic table or on a blanket under the yawning pecan trees. Within minutes your favorite sandwiches, salads, and soups will be ready, all stocked with fresh produce grown on the 12-acre farm. Read our review.
At Farmboy in Chandler, owners Oren and Diana Molovinsky take the notion of locally sourced food to admirable extremes. They get fruit, eggs, and other produce from their own 3.5-acre farm, which Diana maintains. They offer local bounty from other farms and artisans, like tiny plums and a bulbous half-rainbow of heirloom tomatoes, on a […]
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.
What a terrific concept – a full dinner (with drinks) served during a movie. This 1940s Art Deco movie-palace-style theater parks patrons in cushy velvet armchairs, and wines and dines them while playing second-run, classic and independent films. While gourmet entrees like salmon and artichoke chicken are available, appetizers and sandwiches shine. Baked Brie
Crinkly fries, a Cosmic burger, and a cherry phosphate: sounds like what Richie Cunningham and Ralph Malph are having at Al’s in some Happy Days rerun on TV Land, right? But you can score the above eats at Fast Eddie’s, the coolest ’50s-style diner in town. With its red booths and long checkerboard counter, this […]
Chances are you will have to make reservations to get a spot at Fat Ox. This fine dining experience is curated with special attention to the drinks, appetizers and, of course, entrees. The cocktail (or “oxtail”) menu includes creations such as the Desert Rain, made with mezcal, sotol, blood orange, fig leaf and lime, and […]
Fate is kind of like all of Phoenix’s bigger brewpubs shrunk down to a miniature. While that means it isn’t supplying its beer all over town just yet, it does mean that Fate is constantly brewing new and different beers to sample every day. It also means you have a front row seat to the […]

Looks can be deceiving. What should be a run-of-the-mill pizza joint situated in a North Phoenix strip mall is actually a large music venue with a full bar, pool table, eclectic menu, and big family crowds. As its name portends, the food and drink selection is fat with 20 different Italian pies and a beer […]
Pronounce it “fah-toosh,” not “fat tush.” Not only is that the correct pronunciation, but it’s also unlikely you’ll get too fat feasting on this restaurant’s Middle Eastern dishes. That’s because most everything on the menu is relatively good for you. Sure, if you eat an entire pan of baklava, you might gain a pound or […]
