Sazon Bachata Restaurant

Family-owned and -operated, the eatery is one of a handful of Caribbean restaurants in the Valley. It’s inviting and informal, with the menu — which changes depending on availability of ingredients — written in chalk on the wall. If the writing is illegible, the staff will be more than happy to recite the day’s available […]

Schreiner’s Fine Sausage

It’s been here forever, and people come from miles around for the delicious sausage varieties at Schreiner’s. Most of these spicy, traditional family recipes were brought over from Germany, but the Schreiners also offer regional favorites from Portugal, Spain, England, Poland and Mexico. Health-conscious consumers can dine on low-fat chicken and turkey links in a […]

Scooptacular

Laveen’s best kept secret might just be Scooptacular, a small but cheery ice cream shop featuring fun and interesting flavors. At this suburban strip mall ice cream destination you’ll find made-in-house ice cream including citrus cream cheese, green apple, taro, red velvet cake and more. Our favorite might be Scooptacular’s Playdough, a simple but fun-looking […]

Scott’s Generations

One of the Valley’s few kosher perennials, this deli features kosher-style corned beef and pastrami on real, double-baked Jewish rye. The matzo-ball soup, seasoned with celery and dill and featuring a real-life matzo ball, is the real deal. Likewise the amazing New York-style cheesecake.

Searsucker

Searsucker is a nightclub-meets-restaurant kind of scene. A fashionable, vast space with sub-regions of lounge-y couch areas, a bar, an open kitchen, and a dining area. From chef Brian Malarkey, a finalist on Bravo’s Top Chef Miami in 2009, Searsucker Scottsdale is the second location of his restaurant (the first being in San Diego). Malarkey’s […]

Secreto

This cozy Ahwatukee restaurant may be named after the Spanish word for “secret,” but it’s too delicious to keep under wraps. The heady smell of burning pecan wood hits your nostrils as soon as you walk through the door, a hint of scrumptious Southwestern eats to come: chorizo-stuffed pork chops, green corn tamales, and smoky […]

Segal’s One Stop & Oasis Grill

The menu changes every two weeks, but you are likely […]
