Since 1989, Baby Kay’s Cajun Kitchen has been serving the Valley – more recently, the people of Dobson Ranch in Mesa – some decently authentic Cajun food. Think boudin balls, gumbo by the cup or bowl, and shrimp etouffee. The restaurant also offers regional sides like the red beans and rice, jambalaya, and dirty rice, […]

One man. One grill. One of our most fun places to eat, period. Bacanora has fast become one of Phoenix’s signature Mexican restaurants thanks to the skills of Rene Andrade who has cooked in well-regarded fine dining restaurants throughout the Valley. Bacanora is his sizzling, mesquite-touched, chiltepin-dusted return to the food of his home region, […]
Word of mouth is the key to success at this charming Tempe strip-mall cafe, and no wonder. The plain bagel here is a joy to eat on its own, almost like a fresh soft pretzel. While you’ll surely find ex-New Yorkers lurking in line here, Back East Bagels brings in plenty of native Arizonans, too, […]

It’s also not a traditional spot, as it serves both freshly baked sourdough bread loaves as well as the shop’s take on the Twinkie, which actually looks more like a Ho Ho on the […]
Mornings, in-the-know customers trickle into Balkan Bakery, inhaling the bready fragrance of its tiny room on Bell Road. Some get French-style rolls. Some get rope-like kifli.

This is the perfect spot for a quick, high-quality meal on a busy Saturday night. Excellent salads, rotisserie chicken, first-rate prime rib and grilled fish are the featured items.
Behind the restaurant on Seventh Avenue, Valentine’s love letter to Arizona cuisine continues in drink form. The entry of Bar 1912 is marked only by a neon sign that reads “Cocktails.” Inside, Mission revival-style niches behind the bar frame bottles, but the space’s feeling, down to its staff-curated vinyl, is a nod to Japanese listening […]
