Eat at a local/regional burger chain if you have to have a burger. The huge nationwide chains run from horrid to merely acceptable.

I live in oldtown scottsdale right next to Fashion Square Mall. You should check out Craft 64. They have 30 local beers on tap and they have a brick pizza oven. There is an old british guy tending the bar that knows all about the local craft beer scene and he is a hoot to talk to.

Honestly I know more about the local bars. If you have any other questions though I would be glad to help. What kinds of food were you thinking about?

>>6679141
Are you more adventurous or do you like the sort of stuff that most people like? Some stuff in Scottsdale and a little outside...

stuff that will appeal to most people:

Cafe Monarch- spendier side - dinner - but consistently pretty good
Andreoli's- casual Italian - lunch - sandwiches, meats, cheeses, pastas, pastry items are consistently good
Arcadia Farms - french influence murcan - breakfast, lunch - can be a little inconsistent, but usually quite good
Blue Adobe Grill - casual SW bar food
Pig and Pickle - semi-casual - rich dishes
Tarbell's - pricier, but not a rip off as the ingredients themselves are expensive - consistently good
The Chuck Box - get a burger, they're bigger than I like, but that's not a complaint

A little adventurous:

Los Sombreros - Contemporary semi-casual Mexican (much more than a taco cart, but they have good tacos, if more expensive than one might expect a taco to be)
Binkley's Restaurant - French influenced Murcan a la Thomas Keller - dinner - pricy, and a bit of a drive up north
House of Tricks - closed at this time in the summer, but worth mentioning for if you come again
Hap's Pit BBQ - lots of meat - should be enjoyed by most everyone IMO, but not everyone's style in my experience

there's a lot of hipster places in Tempe which are usually on the less expensive end, too, including to a lesser hipster extent Four Peaks, which simply has good beer and decent bar food. For some good, cheap Mexican food, check around Gilbert and Mesa.

And, of course, Amy's Baking Company. They're selling it, if they haven't already. Get thrown out while you can.

I used to stop by the chuck box whenever I went to pop culture paradise. I haven't been since they closed down.

La grande orange is a nice place.

>>6679312
Came here to post Amy's Baking Company.

>>6679491
There is still the one in Tempe. It's worth a trip every now and then, but yeah, I wish the one in Scottsdale was still here. It seems to me like people want all the trendy shit more now, which makes me sad.

>>6679524
Are you sure? I am pretty sure Pop culture paradise in tempe closed down.

If you were ever wanted to know how those chicago deep dish pizzas taste, there is a place called oreganos that does a decent one. They have a few locations across the valley. There is also a fast food mexican drive through that is only located in the phoenix metropolitan area called filibertos. They have 13 locations, but there are also a lot of imitators with similar names. Its not bad for fast food tex mex style, and they even occasionally have lengua. There are better places, but its not a bad choice when you're drunk at 3 am and nothing else is open.

Chompies is a jewish place and has a mean ruben. Best I've had. In n out if you're from out of town. Mexican everywhere check yelp. Check out cave creek, its got a neat little downtown with some good places like el encanto and brians black mountain barbeque.

>>6679312
>Blue Adobe Grill
I was going to say I love this place, but then I realized there are two Blue Adobes, in Mesa and North Scottsdale. They have totally different websites, but they both have a really similar menu seperated into "adobe plate" and "blue plate". But then the Mesa one calls themselves 'the original' and neither site mentions the other restaurant. I wonder what the deal is.

Anyway I guess go to one of those and get the chorizo stuffed chicken. Or something else off the 'blue plate' menu, their mexican food isn't all that special.

>el encanto
Holy shit, I have not been there since I was 5. I used to go to ventana elementary in cave creek, and my parents took us to el encanto one night. It was so pretty.

El Encanto is screwy now.
I recently had fish tacos with some oddball kind of whitefish, pesto, and parmesan.
They didn't taste bad, but I really wasn't expecting Italianish flavored fish tacos.

>>6679863
There's a bunch of Blue Adobes, I think. I know of three off the top of my head, anyway. I haven't had a bad experience at any.

>>6679906
Do they still have the pond with the ducks?

>>6679550
Oh, I thought you meant the Chuck Box closed down. There used to be a Chuck Box in Scottsdale as well as Tempe, but the one in Scottsdale has closed.
>>6679911
Yes

>>6679907
Never mind, there are only 2. I know there was a Blue Adobe at Scottsdale and Shea because I ate there, but I think it's now a sushi bar.

>>6679920
I remember feeding those ducks. Also, I didn't know there used to be one in scottsdale. I had only been to the tempe one. Really the only reason I visit that part of tempe anymore is to go to endgame or ash avenue comics.

35th Ave and Northern reporting in.

Hit up a Filiberto's and go home. This place is shit anyway.

>>6679940
Hey, there is other cool stuff. There is that butterfly place. Also golf, if you're into that.

Del Taco

>>6679985
The only cool thing about del taco is the go bold option. If you ask them to make an item, "Go bold", they will add fries and sauce to it. Even if that item is a milkshake or something equally retarded.

>>6679212
Craft 64 is great. I like The Mission in old town as well.

>>6680020
Never been to the mission, what's the atmosphere like?
