The Moon Saloon

The area around Arrowhead Mall along Bell Road in Peoria feels like a convention for corporate chain restaurants. There’s everything from Olive Garden and On the Border to Fuddrucker’s and Rock Bottom Brewery. Hidden in the mix – behind the Hooters – is The Moon Saloon, a sports bar that serves more than cheap beer. […]

Moreno’s Mexican Grill

Straightforward Mexican fare is the order of the day here, all of it fresh and tasty. Shredded beef tacos jammed with lettuce and sharp cheddar, and topped with cool sour cream and guacamole, are delicious. Cheese enchiladas are available a la carte and in combination platters with rice and beans-the fluffiest and spiciest around. Finish […]

Moriah

Mediterranean with a Sonoran flair; the small menu doesn’t give the chef much room to maneuver, but there’s some talent in this hotel kitchen. Check out the prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloin or the tasty Spanish tapas. You can also get Prime-grade steaks at Choice-grade prices. Read our review.

Morning Glory Cafe

Located at the Farm at South Mountain, this peaceful, pretty, outdoor eatery feels totally rural but isn’t out of the way at all. And no surprise, Morning Glory is all about breakfast. Most of the menu items are savory – check out the top-notch omelets – but there are options for diners with a sweet […]

Morning Squeeze

The brightest spot of this average breakfast and lunch restaurant in Scottsdale (formerly Jimmy Woo’s) is its digs. Sporting a colorful, modern dining area, large bar, and open patio with a street view; it’s perfect for a cup of coffee and a little people watching, but better eats can be found elsewhere.

Morton’s The Steakhouse

A big-city steak house with big-city prices to match. Of course, Morton’s is one of the premier chophouses in the country, serving gorgeous slabs of prime-grade beef that could tempt a hacky-sack-obsessed veg-head. But is it worth the Hummer-size dent in your credit card? Well, the best hunk o’ cow we ever had was prepped […]

Mother Bunch Brewing

Breweries are popping up all around town these days and while some make great beer, not all are the kind of place where you want to eat, drink, and generally be merry. Luckily that’s not the case with Mother Bunch Brewing, a microbrewery and restaurant located on Roosevelt Row. It offers a comfortable atmosphere, friendly […]

Mother’s Bar & Grill

The hours of operation read 11 to 9 outside of Mother’s Bar and Grill, but it’s the kind of place that will do nearly anything to keep the regulars happy, including staying open late to keep the Coors flowing. Those same regulars have carved their names into the bar–lacquered over to preserve their integrity–and the […]

Moto

The uncomplicated, affordable Pan-Asian cuisine at Moto runs the gamut from rice bowls and sushi to krab puffs and wings. At happy hour – when drinks and nibbles are on special, and the rock music’s on full blast – the sleek bar area attracts hungry commuters fresh off the 51.

Mountain View Pub

In downtown Cave Creek’s crowded food-and-drink scene, look for the giant Guinness banner. It’ll lead you into Mountain View Pub, which has the usual Irish bar traits: plentiful imported beers, pub fare, occasional rowdiness. Inside is an assortment of antique furniture, an internet jukebox, a stage framed by exposed cobblestone where live rock and country […]

Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Cafe

Walking up to Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café, you can’t, for a second, tell if you’re in present-day Phoenix or the first act of a decades-old film. Inside and outside, this place is a throwback, from the painted-on sign to the tight wooden booths and lunch counter. The fantasy extends to the menu; Mrs. White’s […]
