In the mid-2000s this spot in Downtown Phoenix was the place to hear up-and-coming bands play informal front yard shows.

Also, melt-off-the-bone lamb shanks — and melt-in-your-mouth loukoumades (Greek doughnuts). This festival offers the most Greek pastries of any other, including baklava, melomakarouna dipped in honey and much more, baked by Greek yiayias (grandmothers). Packaged handmade pastries […]

Honey Bear’s mesquite-smoked ribs and chicken, doused in a sweet-hot, Tennessee-style barbecue sauce, are deliciously tender, practically falling off the bone. Don’t ignore the side dishes, especially the spicy Cowbro beans and chunky potato salad. Additional location in this region: 5012 E. Van Buren St., Phoenix, 602-273-9148.
Childhood friends and business partners Mark Smith and Gary Clark grew up together in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but brought their beautiful barbecue skills to lucky Arizonans. A catering business that started with a van and portable barbecue pit has blossomed over the last quarter-century into a local tradition, at least among people who can’t get […]

Founded in Florida during the glorious 1980s, the company with a hooting owl for a logo boasts its own magazine, a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, and famous alumni like Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriend […]

There are 12 styles of Hopdoddy burgers on the tidy menu — well-balanced creations layered with ingredients like all-natural Black Angus Beef, sushi-grade tuna, Tillamook cheddar, truffle aioli, and roasted poblanos on scratch-made buns.

Phoenix’s first location of this national chain features a truly novel concept: build-own-your sushi, a la Subway. This, in addition to a small selection of classic and signature rolls. Choose your own ingredients — spicy tuna, eel, salmon, and other proteins, as well as numerous vegetables — and brown or white rice, and toppings or […]
