We did this a couple years ago and I learned about some great places to eat.

Honey Bears BBQ 5000 E. Van Buren / Central & Thomas (I think there's another location but I haven't been there)

Knockneed Lobster 32nd St & Washington (a real dive but the best fish in Phx)

Ted's Hot Dogs 1755 E. Broadway in Tempe

Let's hear about your favorites!

Most of my favs are in Wichita Falls, TX. (Cheddar's, Hibiscus Cafe, Pioneer)

Here I love:

L&B's (Florence, AZ)

Buckboard Cafe (Superior, AZ)

Buffalo Wild Wings (Gilbert, AZ)

Oregano's (Gilbert, AZ)

BJs Brewery (Chandler...The "Nutty Brewnette" is AWESOME)

There used to be a cajun place down in the Biltmore area, I could drive right to it, but can't remember exactly where it is...had "Aunt' in the name of it, awesome...good stuff.

As far as down here, Mr. K's is the place for BBQ. Park and Silverlake. Just be sure if you head down there, do it in the daytime.

Oregano's on Speedway has really good food. Service is somewhat questionable, but the food is delicious.

Don't know of any cajun places in the Old Pueblo.

You reminded me of TexAZ (Lone Star Steakhouse until the chain came into town) at 16th St. and Bethany Home. They have the BEST chicken fried steak in town.

I'll second Mr K's. Best BBQ I've had this side of Texas. Just remember they're closed on Mondays.

You want sandwiches, try East Coast Subs. The owner, Kieth, grew up in Jersey, and his dad owned 3 sub shops there. The subs are the bomb... His main shop is at Park and 8th. Give him a shop, you'll love it.

If you are ever in the Prescott Valley area, I would suggest Pauly's Pizza of 69 and windsong.

In Chino Valley I would suggest Our Place, it is italian off of 89 and 2 north area. Next to Sonic.

I forgot one of the best in the Valley!

Haus Murphey's! (Old Town Glendale, Glendale Ave & Grand)

Oh, and Patti Grimaldi's (spelling?), They have coal brick oven fired pizza and outstanding service. This is the first place I've ever been where I was told my food was unacceptable. LOL We went there and ordered a small pizza (which is HUGE incidentally). It came out, we ate like 3 or 4 pieces together (half the pizza). The manager came out just doing meet and greets. She came over to our table, asked how everything was. Around full mouths we answered "Excellent" in a slightly muffled tone. She looked at the pizza and said

"Your pizza is O.K?"

"Yeah, it's amazing. Best ever."

"Looks a little soggy in the middle to me."

"No really, it's very very good."

"Still, our cook is kind of new and I think he could do better. We'll send another one right out."

"No really, that's O.K. we're good! It's really great!"

"We'll have that right out for you."

LOL "O.K."

Edit:

Another one: Ra's. Amazing Sushi. I really think it's the best Sushi in town, but it's PRICEY and LOUD in there.

I haven't been in there since the name changed. Food was great, still the same?

Another place I love is Pizzeria Bianco. It used to be a little hole in the wall at the Colonnade but moved downtown. It became so trendy that they stopped serving lunch, where one could wait for over an hour(I wouldn't). They usually have a long wait for dinner as well. Frankly, I just can't see waiting in line for food. With so many good restaraunts out there, it never made sense to me.

First of all, a question for our Phoenician friends....Is Angie's & Jimmy's Pizza still around up there? It was on Thomas

and 27th a long time ago....Was teh best pizza I ever had, and inexpensive to boot!

Second: Is Carlos O'Briens on Bethany any good any more? It's been a long time, but it was one of my favorites...

In Tucson, good chow is from Olde Chicago on Campbell.... :thumbs

Pizza taste can vary from person to person...some actually like Chucky Cheese :lol

Angie and Jimmy's had one at 19th Av & Camelback some time back...was great, a Small "slab" for 80 cents :yesnod

They are now at aprox. 30th Av and Indian School, been there for a few years. Been in a couple of times, didn't seem the same, but still good.

For Pizza, I love Red Devil and still at a great price.

Went to Nino's the other night, a medium with pepperoni, out the door was over $15.00

For Pizza we love Spinato's. Three locations, 16th St. and Bell Rd, Frank Lloyd Wright and Shea and just north of Extreme in Tempe. They make their own sauce and it has kind of a sweet taste.

were.....

Richardson's is on the NW corner. There is a pool place and an ice cream shop right there.

Los Dos Molinos - there's 3 in town, I've only ever been to the one just south of Baseline on Central. Bar none the best Mexican food I've ever had. Just remember when they saw "spicy" they mean it! :rockon2:

If you're in Yuma one of my favs is Lute's Casino and if your in my area of the world Burger Baron (Regina, SK) one of the, if not the, best burgers in North America. IMHO
