The Prime Rib at This Rustic Arizona Creekside Lodge Is Worth the Drive Out of Phoenix

Some of the best dinners in Arizona are not found in a big city. They hide down a two-lane highway, past the point where the Phoenix traffic finally lets go. This one sits beside a creek in a small town, inside a lodge packed with antiques and Old West furniture. People drive in from all over the region for one plate in particular, the prime rib, and many say it is worth the trip on its own.

Prescott Farmers Market Named Arizona’s Favorite Again

Shoppers have voted Prescott Farmers Market (PFM) the #1 farmers market in Arizona for the fourth time, after earlier wins in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The market celebrates by opening its 13th winter season on Saturday, November 7. The cold-weather harvest is in, and a later start time means shoppers can sleep in a little before heading out for fresh, local food.

Crab Legs And Hibachi Fill The Plates At This Phoenix All-You-Can-Eat Buffet

Some lunches end with a single plate. Others end with a fourth trip, a cleared tray of crab legs, and a quiet promise to skip dinner. In north Phoenix, a sprawling buffet near the old Metro Center area has been feeding big appetites for years, and it opens its doors at 11 AM every single day of the week. The draw is simple: a long lineup of Chinese buffet favorites, a cook-to-order hibachi grill, seafood options, and a dessert spread, all for one price.

This Chandler Diner Serves Hefty Breakfasts And Chicken Fried Steak In A Full-On 1950s Setting

Red leather bucket seats that look borrowed from a vintage car wait inside one Arizona diner. Oldies play overhead. A wall honors famous faces who have stopped in for a bite.

Axios Phoenix

There's an under-the-radar Jamaican restaurant in central Phoenix

For nine months, central Phoenix has had a new Jamaican restaurant, although diners are just now catching on to its existence. Dig in: Earlier this week, Axios stopped by for a pre-election night meal at Champagne Cafe + Lounge , located in an unassuming storefront at 15th Avenue and Camelback Road. The latest: Champagne Cafe opened earlier this year, but business has been slow, owner Chris Martin tells Axios. That's too bad, because the food is pretty good. Martin is considering changing the name, although he says the recent addition of an "Authentic Jamaican Restaurant" banner out front has brought in more customers. "We still want to do some more stuff eventually, but the economy is kind of up and down," says Martin, who has been in Phoenix for 20 years. The jerk chicken plate ($16) at Champagne Cafe + Lounge. Photo: Zach Buchanan/Axios The vibe: I dropped in at 4pm and was greeted with reggae music and a mural of a leopard. I ordered the jerk chicken plate with rice and fried plantains, pictured above. It came out hot and fast . The chicken was juicy and had plenty of kick from the jerk sauce. I could have eaten

Locals Pull Into A Gravel Lot Behind An Arizona Church For Puerto Rican Food That Tastes Like Abuela Made It

Some of the best Puerto Rican cooking in the West Valley does not come from a dining room with menus and a host stand. It comes from a truck parked behind a church in Phoenix, open only two days a week. Folks who grew up on the island, or in New York, say one plate is enough to bring back memories of a grandmother’s kitchen.
