- J. Ruggs Southern BBQ, 4 stars
- Mesa's J. Ruggs Southern BBQ is the place to try for its authentic Southern barbecue and the warmth of the owner's family.
- Latilla at the Boulders resort, 3 stars
- Expect a bumpy ride at the Latilla, where the new look and new culinary team don't get any help from the ragged service.

- Oakville Grocery Co., 2.5 stars
- Everyday Dining critic Nikki Buchanan sazys Oakville Grocery is a stylish enclave that lacks heart and soul.
- Eureka! Grill, 4 stars
- With its classy menu, Eureka! Grill will become a favorite special occasion spot. It's a pretty place for entertaining guests or treating yourself when you've sworn off chain restaurants.
- India's Grill, 3 stars
- Mesa's India's Grill is a haven for those who love the hot chiles, heady spices and luxurious sauces of Indian cooking. The complex seasoned food served here is not for the meat-and-potatoes crowd.
- Pat's Pizza Plus, 3 stars
- Sometimes you just have to have Italian food. Pat's Pizza Plus won't knock your socks off, but it's a good neighborhood place for Italian comfort food.
- Santisi Brothers Pizzeria and Sports Grill, 3.5 stars
- On game days, this place is rocking. But even when there's not a game, come for the wide variety of food. In balmy weather, there's a great patio.
- Bayrischer Hof, 2.5 stars
- If everything at West Valley German restaurant were as good as the smoked pork chops and sauerkraut, Everyday Dining critic Nikki Buchanan says she'd be there until summer in Phoenix freezes over.
- The Notorious P.I.G., 3.5 stars
- Plenty of affordable reasons to get piggy with it at new barbecue restaurant, The Notorious P.I.G., in northeast Phoenix.
- DeFalco's Italian Grocery, 4 stars
- Loyalists who keep this 38-year-old Valley stalwart busy all day long show up for terrific, made-to-order sandwiches, pastas and pizza, and they don't mind waiting in line to get them.
- Keegan's Grill, 4 stars
- Keegan's is a cozy destination for artfully done basic food. It's a place for families, couples, teenagers, grandparents. After 20 years, Keegan's has the right beat.
- Bluewater Grill, 2 stars
- Start patching the leaks: New Bluewater Grill in Phoenix is only marginally seaworthy, restaurant critic Howard Seftel reports.
- Marco's Italian Bistro, 3.5 stars
- Marco's Italian Bistro aspires to be more than just another family-owned and operated Italian restaurant, offering traditional Italian food made with natural, hormone-free ingredients.
- Brazilian Bull, 3.5 stars
- This Brazilian all-you-can-eat restaurant specializes in barbecued meats grilled on a spit, an outlandish food orgy but lots of fun. And affordable.
- Hot Pot Caribbean Cuisine, 4 stars
- The straightforward menu looks like the real deal, not something jazzed up or dumbed down for an American audience. And it's a clean, cheerful spot.
- Café Ga Hyang, 3.5 stars
- Danny Kang, owner of Café Ga Hyang, is Korean. His Korean cook grew up in China. It's no surprise, then, that the restaurant specializes in Korean-style Chinese food - a little spicy and very tasty.
- Dave's Electric Brewpub, 3 stars
- Surprisingly, it's the better-than-average pub grub, not the beer, that should lure you to this easygoing hangout.
- Jenny's Diner: 3 stars
- Addition to Valley's ethnic cuisine scene is worth checking out, restaurant critic Barbara Yost says.
- Salvadoreño Restaurant, 4 stars
- ''If this sweet, homey place were closer to my house, I'd be eating here once a week,'' restaurant critic Nikki Buchanan says.
