For a longtime Valley restaurant made in the American bar-and-grill mold, Sheldon Knapp’s Phoenix City Grille manages to go its own way. How can you tell? The menu has a full-on glossary to define ingredients so that, though the dining room is a bit dim, you aren’t wholly flying in the dark. With your short […]
Chef-owner Gio Osso’s menu at this tiny, wonderful downtown Scottsdale cafe is a kind of white board of elegant, ever-changing, Mediterranean-inspired dishes revolving around farmers market vegetables, naturally raised meats, and pristine seafood. On one evening, there may be scallops with a heavenly white chocolate beurre blanc; on another, grilled octopus with lemony chickpeas and […]
If you spot the sign for the The Rez, an Urban Eatery, out in the wild, reach for your cash and head for this roaming restaurant. You can sometimes find The Rez in downtown Phoenix during the late hours, even till 4 a.m. on weekends, or possibly at a festival, farmers market, or special event […]
CenPho favorite Richardson’s of New Mexico burned down in a fire in 2010 and was finally resurrected in early 2012 with the same menu. The new location is alongside sister restaurant Rokerij, which is similar but with smaller plates. As the name implies, Richardson’s is a purely Southwestern affair, but that doesn’t mean it’s rundown […]
Rita’s Kitchen is the casual, Southwestern eatery tucked inside Camelback Inn, the place where hotel guests can go for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and locals can soak up the Sonoran charm. The comfort food here may not be innovative, but it’s pretty good, and the appealing atmosphere and excellent drinks, like stellar red sangria, make […]

Tenderloin glazed with whiskey, fondue with lamb chops, Big Ass burgers that are, well, big-assed: These are but a few of our faves at this American bistro and saloon. The green chile pork stew is served in a cast-iron pot, and the place serves up a pork porterhouse that could even choke Cedric the Entertainer! […]
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 […]

Formerly the Copper Queen, it’s been redesigned in a beautiful ranch-house style featuring Cherokee red flooring and brown-black wooden beams above.

Though you won’t see the roadside, open-air kitchen built from arrowroot and cactus ribs on Instagram food feeds, or in the pages of any glossy publication, The Stand on the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Reservation is one of our favorite places to eat in metro Phoenix. Here, the seats are stumps, the ceiling is […]
The flavors of New Mexico have landed in Scottsdale, celebrating the state’s signature Hatch chiles. While a few dishes (carne adovada and red chile posole) pack some serious heat, milder mouths will do just fine with tenderloin rellenos, pork tamales or a beguiling chorizo-stuffed chicken in amaretto-mushroom sauce.
