In the almost-always-hot climate of the Arizona desert, Oasis Raspados is a welcome place to ditch the sun and cool off. Forget about store-bought Popsicles that are more sugar than natural flavor and homemade “treats” made of frozen orange juice in an ice cube tray. In Central Phoenix off of 32nd Street, Oasis Raspados specializes […]
Eating at Oaxaca, you can expect more of an experience than a meal. The owner might be playing a boisterous game of cards right next to you, or a crowd might be cheering whatever Arizona sports team is currently playing on the big screen by the bar. The Mexican fare includes spinach and mushroom enchiladas, […]
So you want to go bowling, but the standard greasy, inedible alley fare isn’t up to snuff. How can you possibly keep slaughtering pins if you don’t have the energy to throw a 15-pound ball? At Let It Roll Bowl in Sunnyslope, there are plenty of lanes, a lounge with full bar and psychedelic art, […]

Ocotillo Restaurant & Bar occupies a nearly one-acre corner lot in central Phoenix, a stylish food and drink compound with a strikingly modern desert design and a menu of New American cuisine, which here means food with a sense of place and seasonality. But co-chefs Walter Sterling and Sacha Levine also play with a whole […]

Okra Cookhouse & Cocktails is the sophomore effort from Chef Cullen Campbell, wife and co-owner Maureen McGrath-Campbell and co-owner/mixologist Micah Olson, the team behind Phoenix’s beloved Crudo. The menu delivers modern updates of classic Southern dishes, with the occasional Italian flair. Small plate highlights include the fried chicken skins, crispy bites slathered in an irresistibly […]
Killer Southern-style eats in the form of sandwiches and sides made with locally sourced ingredients. Because of Old Dixie’s home in the Welcome Diner in Central Phoenix, there are burgers, too — one even topped with peanut butter — but they are not why you come here. You come here for chef Michael Babcock’s fried […]
From the pretzels to the strudel, this outpost of the old country is the finest place in town to find fresh-baked German goods.
Even budget-minded diners get the real deal at this downtown mainstay: All of OSF’s entrees come with hot, fresh-baked bread; soup or salad; coffee or tea, and authentic spumoni ice cream for dessert. Match that generous rule with your choice of classic pastas, and top it with one of several delicious sauces, and you’ve got […]
The walls are lined with Phoenix memorabilia, license plates, and old-timey shop signs, but we go here for the shocking variety of subs, soups, salads, fruit bowls, and desserts (speaking of which, don’t miss the Rice Krispie Treat-just like Mom used to make!). Subs are enormous, jammed with fresh ingredients and wonderful with the soup […]

This hidden gem of Bosnian food tucked into an aging strip mall on the city’s west side comes courtesy of Bosnian-born owner and chef Seida Turulja, who makes some of the best lepinja (housemade Bosnian bread) in the Valley. Featuring a small and affordable selection of some of the country’s favorites (nothing on the menu […]
This east Phoenix dive, located on Thomas Road across from perhaps the most chaotic Walmart in the Valley, opens at 6 a.m. and possesses many of the qualities one associates with a tavern that caters to morning drinkers. The crowd is casual bordering on haggard. The bar serves what we’ve come to call “personal pitchers” […]
