Walter Sterling and the Ocotillo crew’s latest restaurant channels Mexican influences as far north as Sonora (a Sonoran rib-eye) and as far south as Yucatan (cochinita pibil). That cochinita sears the brain, and not just with chiles. An order brings a pile of richly spiced pork that retains the animal’s full charm, roasted in a […]
Charlie’s is a slice of Phoenix gay bar history that has huddled along Camelback Road just west of Seventh Avenue since its debut in 1984. In those days, the “lil bitty ol’ pissant country place” and dance hall opened by John King (co-founder of the International Gay Rodeo Association) was aimed at gay urban cowboys […]

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.

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.

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 […]
