Perk Eatery

This cheerful, family-owned breakfast and lunch spot in a strip mall off Greenway Parkway delivers a satisfying selection of breakfast and lunch fare with daily specials that are worth your while. Featuring homemade staples of solid American favorites with a few unique twists, the light and delicately sweet pancakes with a whisper of vanilla are […]

Persian Room Fine Dining

An excellent option for diners wanting to experience a bit of international adventure without being intimidated. The space is gorgeous. Ingredients are upper-class (filet mignon, Cornish game hen, mahi-mahi). Dishes are familiar to everyone, focusing on kebabs, with just a few daring offerings like gheimeh (stew) or adas polo (basmati rice tossed with raisins, lentils, […]

Petite Maison

Chef-owner James Porter serves up scrumptious French onion soup, escargots, steak frites, and other homey bistro fare at this truly petite neighborhood spot, planted on a remarkably quiet block in otherwise bustling Old Town. The affordable menu changes frequently, making Petite Maison worthy of repeat visits. If you sit at the bar, don’t be surprised […]

Pink Pony

This venerable Scottsdale institution’s floor-to-ceiling overhaul of earlier this year turned an old favorite into just another nicely lighted, neatly decorated downtown restaurant. Problems with early versions of the menu led to a house-cleaning of chef and staff, and a new menu, management, and kitchen crew are promised this summer.

Pinnacle Brewing Co.

For too long, craft breweries eschewed TVs, ignoring the fact that beer and sports are a match made in heaven. If you want to catch a game and geek out over hop varietals, the pickings can be slim. Enter Pinnacle Brewing Co., which the Wilson family opened in north Scottsdale in May 2024. Brewmaster Wyatt […]

Pinnacle Peak Patio

It’s for tourists, but this landmark cowboy steak house is no trap. Have your kids deputized by the “Old Timer,” get your picture taken in Western duds, and enjoy the country-western band. Then settle in for excellent, mesquite-grilled steaks. The two-pound porterhouse and New York strip are the best options. Cheesecake and apple pie are […]

Pita Jungle

Where else can one find both an allergen chart and a nutritionist’s bio on the menu, for those who are so health conscious they have to know what’s in everything they eat? We love Pita Jungle for this, and for a whole lot more: its eclectic blend of fresh ingredients; creative way with wraps and […]
