If you haven’t been to this cute little neighborhood eatery on Camelback and Central, there’s a good chance your parents or your grandparents have — the delicatessen’s been a Valley staple since 1949, and in 2011, owner Stan Zawatski sold its one millionth sandwich. Belly up to the meat and cheese counter and select from […]
Cheetahs Gentleman’s Club has everything a red-blooded, old-fashioned, all-American carnivore and strip club connoisseur could possibly want during a night out on the prowl at an exotic dance emporium. Red meat abounds on its menu of Mexican and American-style eats in the form of beef fajitas, thick cuts of prime rib on Thursdays, and plates […]

This outpost of Craig and Kris DeMarco and Bob Lynn’s ever-expanding culinary kingdom leaves behind the boutique ambiance and eats of Postino and La Grande Orange for something far more sophisticated and satisfying. Built like an airy, one-story Arizona ranch house, with a peaked roof, a big front porch, and a huge patio out back […]
Featuring the hard-to-find cuisine of Chettinad, a dry, remote region of the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, this decidedly grand restaurant on the city’s west side offers many of the region’s meat-centric, highly fragrant, and abundantly spiced food (even to the southern Indian palate) as well as around 200 dishes from both northern […]
Homey, unpretentious Japanese noodle shop that never disappoints and is sure to leave you as sated as a sumo wrestler at an all-you-can-eat steak house. Go for the specials, like the Cajun-fried shrimp with the crunchy heads still on the bodies or the small, whole squid in a tomato-anchovy sauce. The spicy Korean beef and […]

Although this Arcadia spot wows in terms of decor, with a vintage aesthetic that relies on marbled bar tops, glass apothecary jars, and other antique chic touches, the breakfast and lunch restaurant has some improving to do. Sandwiches like the bacon-covered Billy Club and the Lobster Roll are served on MJ Bread, but the sammies’ […]
State Senator Ken Cheuvront’s entry into the great Phoenix restaurant sweepstakes is a wine and cheese bar with plenty of vino and fromage to choose from. If you go, try the lamb roulade and one of the cheese plates with nuts and dried fruit. For dessert, the pumpkin bread pudding is delish. Like we said, […]
We started going for the pinball and video games and ended up returning for the old fashioned milkshakes and the Vienna hot dogs on big, fluffy steamed buns. Chicago Hamburger Co. is home of the Original Windy City Slider, and also offers one of the tastiest triple-cheese subs in town. A real neighborhood restaurant, Chicago […]
From the owners of The Grind, the upscale burger joint next door in this Arcadia strip mall, comes this attractive, comfortable bistro specializing in rotisserie chicken. And the chicken, available as a whole, half, or quarter bird, is excellent, with juicy and fresh-tasting white meat and wonderfully crispy skin. Also available is a small selection […]

Housed inside the historic Monroe School in downtown Phoenix, this kid-centric museum is a must for parents trying to cure the summertime boredom blues. Of course, the Children’s Museum on Phoenix is a great place to visit truly any time of year, with awesome exhibits like the infamous “noodle forest,” a waving, wiggling rainforest of […]
Chilte continues to garner praise. With humble beginnings as a food truck to opening its brick-and-mortar in the revamped Egyptian Motor Hotel on Grand Avenue in 2023, the modern Mexican restaurant helmed by couple Lawrence “LT” Smith and Aseret Arroyo has captured the attention – and appetites – of local foodies. Try the birria, which […]
After light-rail construction got in the way downtown, China Chili moved into new, bigger, and, dare we say, better digs. Thankfully, the menu still has all of our favorites: tender braised eggplant with garlic and chili paste, Hong Kong-style “pillow tofu” with broccoli and oyster sauce, and peppery Yu Shiang pork, saut
Pleasant, upscale Chinese restaurant featuring Cantonese, Mandarin, Szechuan, and Hunan food and better-than-average menu. The moo shu and Bo-Bo platter are both outstanding.
