Buca Di Beppo

This nationwide chain of Italian restaurants first opened in 1993 in the basement of a Minneapolis apartment, and there are now over 86 locations throughout the country, including four in the Phoenix metro area: Peoria, Chandler, Mesa, and Scottsdale. Antipasti selections like bruschetta, fried mozzarella, and garlic bread stay true to the Italian theme. Most […]

Buck & Rider

Buck & Rider has opened multiple locations in recent years, but we’re partial to the Camelback Road classic. Make a reservation for a booth in the comfortable yet elevated dining room, or grab a seat at the bar for happy hour. Whatever you decide to order, the name of the game at this seafood spot […]

Buffalo Chip Saloon

On any given Wednesday, Buffalo Chip Saloon and Steakhouse may be the liveliest spot in the Valley. “Saloon” isn’t quite accurate; it’s true that there’s a large, rustic indoor drinking space on-site, but it’s just one part of what makes up the unimitable Cave Creek watering hole. The draw on Wednesdays and Fridays is bull-riding; […]

BullShooters

Bull Shooters in north Phoenix has a bevy of pool tables – 44 of ‘em, to be exact – on which you can put your skills to the test. The high-quality 7 and 9-foot tables inside this spacious pool hall and sports bar take center stage for northsiders in search of stick ’n’ sip action. […]

Butterfield’s Pancake House & Restaurant

Butterfield’s may look like a typical big-box restaurant, but it’s pleasant, airy, and immaculate inside.

The sprawling menu covers all the breakfast standards, but there are also unusual variations, such as portobello benedict with […]

Scrambled […]

C-Fu Gourmet

One of the few Valley Chinese restaurants that could hold its own in New York’s or San Francisco’s Chinatown. C-Fu specializes in seafood so fresh, most of it is still swimming when you order it. Don’t miss the chrysanthemum-steamed fish, Marco Polo lobster or Dungeness crab. Non-seafood dishes are also expertly prepared, particularly the Mongolian […]
