1. FilmBar
This place is upgraded to five stars! They are just so damn cool!
Now having regular events with DJs and dancers as well as movies you could never see anywhere (George Miele's From the Earth to the Moon? Saw it! It rocked).
Go here, AMC is no fun…More »

I found out that this pace is also BYOF! You can bring outside food. That solves the food issue,… Read more »
2. House of Tricks
Ambiance, excellent food, a great selection of fine liquor. It is hard to get better than House of Tricks. One of Tempe's gems that we can all hope will not be gentrificated out of existence (I'm looking at you Tempe City Council!).
This little setup…More »
3. Short Leash Dogs
They are also at Shady's (Indian School and 27th) on Thursday nights!

Short Leash does it right. Shreiner's Fine Sausages, Flatbread buns, excellent ingredients and… Read more »
4. Bliss/reBAR
I had been to Bliss a number of times for brunch, the experience was excellent. However, when I went there for dinner that was the kicker! This place is awesome!
Sriracha Aioli, I was thinking of ordering more stuff just to try dipping it in there! We…More »
5. Chase Field
Hard to blame the stadium for all of the sucky games I have seen here (excepting when the Mets are in town).
This really is a nice ball park. Its also great that there are almost always cheap seats, and they have a damn good view. I have sat in the…More »
6. The Chuck Box
Seems they switched their veggie burger to some sort of store bought crap. Which sucks, they had an awesome veggie burger. Oh well, its lucky I'm an omnivore!
Still an awesome place to eat, but I miss that veggie burger!

7. Fair Trade Cafe
This is a great little stop for coffee and some pastry. They have brunch as well, I have never been for brunch but will definitely try it some time.
Right across from the Light Rail, its hard to be more convenient! Its also a quick walk across Deck…More »
8. Four Peaks Brewing Co
Four Peaks has been a great place to go eat and drink for many years now. Easily the best bar food menu around. Excellent bread and appetizers, very well done southwestern fare and amazing specials (I still haven't had one of their specials as they…More »
9. Hanny's
Hanny's is rather exceptional. It feels like you are drinking in a department store at night. Which is fun.
I've had two experiences here and enjoyed both. Great drinks, great food and very interesting decor. Still haven't gotten into the expensive…More »
10. Smeeks
This place is so cool. Its kooky and nutty. Even better, it has a nice bathroom (convenient when you are up here on Saturday for the Short Leash, Stinkweeds, Hula Hoop extravaganza).
Got my mom Skybars here, btw: Skybars suck ass!
So much cool candy…More »
11. Thirsty Dog 2 Go
Quick, easy, and good! Hot Dogs shouldn't be too complicated, this place makes them that way. You can choose from a nice spread of toppings, some grilled (bacon, red peppers) some cold (pickle, pepperoncinis) and add sauces at will. They have 5 basic…More »
12. The Downtown Deli
This place is good. If you are downtown in PHX and are looking for a place to get a good meal, not spend to much and either fight the crowd (during lunch time) or be alone (pre/post lunch time), this is the place.
More of an eatery than a deli, as I…More »
13. Fat Tuesday
Want to get drunk? I mean falling over, possibly having sex in public...but you're not sure if that really happened drunk?
This is the place.
Described aptly as "7-11 on acid" the giant bank of alcoholic slurpee, er daiquiri, machines is a sight to…More »
14. Hula's Modern Tiki
Hula's is a great little bar. I like it a lot. Their drink pours are strong! I still haven't had any of their bowls, as I haven't been there when I want to get wasted!
The food is pretty good. I've had dinner and brunch there and been absolutely fine…More »
15. The Lost Leaf
This place has a quirky atmosphere and amazing bottled beer selection. Its weird because it is an old house, which translates into an odd bar. The outdoor area is not poorly lit, it is totally unlit. Anyone who wants to smoke has to go stand in the…More »
16. Majerle's Sports Grill
This place is definitely a sports bar. Can get pretty crowded before game time as it is a couple of streets from Chase Field (where the Diamondbacks lose...er, play) and America West Arena (or whatever its called this week - where Los Suns play!).…More »
17. Matt's Big Breakfast
Matt's is pretty good breakfast. I am glad that when I went we had no wait whatsoever. Not sure how we pulled that off on a beautiful Sunday morning...happy though!
Definitely overrated. No question there. However there is a certain extreme eating…More »
18. RA Sushi Bar Restaurant
Good Sushi, great happy hour prices.
Well, most of the time good sushi. Try to get to know one of the chefs, your sushi gets a lot better! The other fare is not as good as the sushi.
One of my favorite parts of sushi is Saki and they do have a good…More »
19. SunUp Brewing Co
This is a brewery. This rating is based largely on the beer.
This beer is excellent. Uwe (pronunced Ooh-Va, I believe) is a beer genius. He is likely the best (professional) brewer in AZ. All of the beers are excellent. They have a good number of…More »
20. The Turf
Turf is good. Not really a place to bring to impress the hell out of people. Good though. It always works as an "I don't know where I want to go to eat...I'll just hit Turf." They recently added Off-Track-Betting. We'll see how that expresses itself…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
I am not sure who remembers that this place had an old location. It is now a gravel lot next to Jack in the Crack on Mill. That spot was a go to place. Some of the best food I had in AZ. It was a small place, intimate and cozy. Great for dates!
The…More »
22. Dave's Electric Brewpub
So this is a brewery. They have an IPA on the menu, listed at 17 IBUs. I am not sure how much you know about beer, and the IBU (Bitterness basically) is a BS measurement unit anyway, IPAs usually have around a 50-60 though. It was great that the…More »
23. Dog Town Chili Dogs
I've been here a number of times. I just keep giving it another chance to impress. It really hasn't though. The dogs are OK, just nothing special. Prices aren't too bad, but they don't really Do that much.
I used a coupon deal once, called in my…More »
24. Fatburger
Tempe, AZ 85281
(480) 449-9002
Categories:
Burgers,
Fast Food,
American (Traditional)
Its a fun gimmick but, why would I go back here? Its not like there's a paucity of good burger places around. I realized I could stop when I saw that they just had the same place everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Its kind of depressing, especially…More »

Blinded by the glitz. That, as far as I can tell is why this place has 4 stars.
I have been to better managed Fedex stores, every time I have had a bad time here it has been a failure of management. The most recent time it was an inability to deal in…More »
26. Fox News Sky Box
Its a bar in an airport so they kind of have you over a barrell. The bartenders are usually pretty friendly. The prices are over the top and the food is not so good. I'd say what do you expect its in an airport, but I have had good reasonably priced…More »
27. Pita Jungle
Tempe, AZ 85281
(480) 804-0234
Categories:

Mediterranean,
American (New)
I love this place for nostalgia's sake. I always seem to end up disappointed by the time I walk out.
My last two visits have been for brunch, perhaps that was my downfall. They really do not do brunch well.
First off, when someone asks for egg whites,…More »
28. The Pita Pit
This place is a cool idea. Its like Subway for Pitas. Only, its like Subway for Pitas.
The staff can be downright crotchety at times about what 'kind' of pita you are getting. There is also an issue with the staff knowing how to make a pita at times.…More »
29. Rula Bula
The food here is good. Expensive though.
The Guinness pours are good. Expensive though.
Good whiskey selection...noticing a trend?
This place is expensive, especially for what it is. I mean, it is an 'authentic' Irish bar, brought piece by piece from…More »
30. Seamus McCaffrey's
Seamus is quick sort of, easy sort of, and its not bad. There always seems to be a group of douche bags at the entry that might be security, might just be guys who are friends with the bar staff. Either way in three trips, they were always there and…More »
31. Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers
This Wendy's is no better than any other Wendy's. However Wendy's is probably the best of the fast food joints.
32. Maizie's Cafe & Bistro
I am not impressed with this place, my original review makes this clear. However, the fact that they were closed on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend makes them useless in my book. I was bringing two friends who had never been there, and still…More »

33. Mary Coyle's Ol' Fashioned Ice Cream and Yogurt Parlor
Let's get this straight. The ice cream was excellent. However, I had called to check the closing time and was told that it was 9pm. Although any information I could find on the internets said 10pm. OK, the internets are not always correct.
My…More »
34. McDonald's
Phoenix, AZ 85012
(602) 274-4251
This Mc Donalds is no better than any of the other Mc Donalds that are out there.
36. The Old Spaghetti Factory
Rated "10 best family restaurant chains". Fine, two reasons to hate it.
37. P.F. Chang's China Bistro
I hope you like salt and have never had Asian food before beyond Panda Express or Kyoto bowl.
The fact that PF Chang's is allowed to exist by China (to whom the US owes its existence). Here's a tip for Asian cuisine: are there Asian's there? If the…More »
38. Tilted Kilt
Get over the girls in kilts already. Didn't Hooters already bark this tree out? Whatever, food is good, but not worth that price! The atmosphere is sophomoric and annoying. If you are some kind of douchebag go here so I don't have to be annoyed with…More »
