Howdy folks! We installed some new software to manage the site and are planning to post new reviews soon and maybe some coffee shop reviews. The old site is still online if you want to look for something you saw in a previous visit. The coffee shop reviews are here.

Don’t miss our new site devoted […]

If you’re looking for a great place to eat in Tucson, we have two suggestions.
El Charro Café
311 N. Court Ave.
http://www.elcharrocafe.com
Established in the 1920s and continuously family owned and managed. They have the very best Chimichanga’s. They roast the beef slowly and then smoke dry for three days. It’s a unique taste different from any […]

Cave Creek Coffee Company is remarkable. It has large spacious rooms and comfortable ottoman chairs that make this coffee house especially comfy. Nowhere else can you get a leather chair, free wireless internet, and to boot it’s in Cave Creek, away from the beaten path which makes it special.

Let’s start with the coffee. First of […]

The Village Coffee Roastery has been around for about eight years sells great coffee drinks and provides a rich atmosphere, but they even roast their own coffee beans, seriously. You can also try a delicious assortment of sandwiches and salads (Monday through Friday).
The coffee house takes advantage of the natural light from outdoors which creates […]

With some time to burn waiting for a downtown meeting, I visited the eclectic coffeehouse that’s really a house. Or it was at one time. Anyway, I like the arrangement, with several smaller rooms you can find a little spot for yourself or join a larger group if you prefer. The place has been here […]

That small bagel shop atmosphere and espresso combination you’ve grown to like. This Fountain Hills café is on Fountain Hills Blvd. They have the usual mix and match of bagel varieties for a good price. Mix and match to get the sandwich you like best made fresh for you in minutes.
Skip the tap water which […]

Quiet and peaceful, this coffee shop with wood and earth toned circle shaped walls and coffee-brown varnished concrete is a nice place to meet a friend or just take it easy.
This isn’t just a coffee shop – they have breakfasts and sandwiches for anytime in addition to a daily soup.

Jolta Java: A plentiful menu, good […]

The Sugar Bowl brings back many memories for Scottsdale old-timers as it’s been in the same spot for at least a half-century.
You’ll remember seeing the Sugar Bowl featured in the popular comic strip ‘Family Circus.’ In fact, the menu has Bill Keens own personal touch.

The Sugar Bowl is the best place to get a malt […]

This French deli and restaurant cooks a delightful experience for any meal. If you go for breakfast we suggest just about anything! They cook up a good meal of eggs, toast, and bacon, plus hash browns and the usual fare you’d expect in a good breakfast.
La Madeleine’s is an excellent choice for a conservative breakfast […]

LEO’s is your place to get a good sandwich or bowl of soup. Named after ‘lox, eggs and onions,’ this place serves up a good New York City Jewish Deli feast.
With spacious old wood floors, roomy leather booths, and neat black and white pictures this place is a delightful find.
We suggest the Pastrami On Rye […]

Having been around for almost 40 years, this Mexican restaurant brings local flavor to the table. If it’s your first time be sure to try the football sized Chili Rellieno’s, which take about 20 minutes to bake, and contains enough eggs, chili’s, and cheese for two people.

The building is old, the orange booths are retro, […]

If you have your eye out for a great tasting steak we suggest The Other Place. This restaurant known to Paradise Valley residents for almost 30 years cooks up some delightful evenings.
This restaurant got its name after Dale Anderson opened his second restaurant, and before a name could be chosen everybody kept referring to it […]

If you’re looking for the very best sandwich you can experience, you need to try Croque (it’s pronounced “crock” as in crocodile). This small sandwich shop makes some of the tastiest, fresh-from-the-oven baguette sandwiches you’ll ever find and I’m not being paid to say that.

The menu is separated by country of origin, and you can […]

This small pizza and sub shop first opened in the mid 1980s and offers up a fantastic menu with New York City flavor.
We like the submarine sandwiches they have, try the Bronx Bomber, or the Chicken Parmigiana (it’s tops!). These subs are by far some of the best we’ve eaten; they’re certainly a notch above […]

This is one of my favorite places to eat, if you go for lunch try the Arthur J.’s West Coast Reuben which is absolutely amazing… best in Phoenix by my words and huge - it is made with real cole slaw, swiss cheese, 1000 island dressing, and ham and turkey. It will make your mouth […]
