Crooked Sky Farms

Farmer Frank and crew have a pretty smooth operation running on their South Phoenix farm. Their veggies are raised without the use of pesticides, and you won’t find a single genetically modified seed on-site. The farm grows everything from watermelons to corn to exotic heirloom tomatoes and even has a pick-your-own artichoke harvest in late […]

Cruisin’ 7th

Cruisin’ 7th Show Bar & Lounge dates back to 1977. Back then, it was located just north of Roosevelt Street and Central Avenue and was (appropriately) called Cruisin’ Central. The bar changed its name upon its 2003 move to its current location, where its calling card is splashed across the standalone building: “The Best Drag […]

CRUjiente Tacos

This Arcadia eatery, found at the north end of 40th Street’s restaurant row, is a rare dinner-only taco type of place (or close to that; it doesn’t open until 4 p.m.). CRUjiente Tacos Chef Richard Hinojosa likes to get regional with his menu — dishes might be inspired by Maine, Korean, or Polynesian cuisine. Tacos […]

Crying Dinosaur, Supersition Mountains

We’ve come back to this allosaurus-like spire over the years because it’s relatively easy and safe compared with other climbs in the Superstition Mountain Wilderness Area, which is like the Yosemite of Phoenix metro climbing. The Arizona Mountaineering Club climbs here frequently, and the anchor points are big chains connected to bolts drilled and cemented […]

Cuban Foods & Bakery

This small, tidy spot of homestyle Cuban eats features hearty and gratifying traditional dishes that keep the restaurant’s Cuban, Colombian, and Puerto Rican patrons coming back on a regular basis. The Cuban sandwich is almost a rite of passage here, but there are other good dishes, too: Slow-cooked meats redolent with garlic, onions, and cumin; […]

Culinary Dropout

The menu at this trendy watering hole is full of hearty fare like short rib pasta, grilled cheese sliders, housemade chips, and burgers, although execution still leaves a lot to be desired. As a consolation, there are dozens of wines by the glass or bottle, 25 different craft cocktails ranging from classic (French 75, Moscow […]

Culinary Dropout

We usually go to Culinary Dropout at The Yard to take advantage of the ping-pong tables, cornhole, shuffleboard, and 1,400 square feet of patio space. Unlike some Phoenix spots, this is a bar where you can take anyone — your co-worker, parents, picky-eater friends — to have a decent drink and a good time. When […]

Culver’s

This Wisconsin-based fast-food chain brings a welcome alternative to Mickey D’s, with juicy ButterBurgers (named after the slick of butter on the soft, toasted buns), classic sandwiches, and luscious frozen custard, made fresh daily. Friendly service and a homey, not-too-noisy atmosphere set it apart from the pack.
