This Arizona Diner Seats You By The Window So You Catch Every Small Plane Touchdown Over Pie
Some pilots rent a plane in Mesa, fly north for about an hour, and land in Payson for one reason: a slice of pie. Most of us will make the same trip by car, and the reward is the same window seat. Up in Rim Country there is a small diner parked right beside a working runway, where breakfast comes with a steady parade of small planes and the occasional helicopter.

This Nostalgic Arizona Diner Will Transport You Straight Back To The 1950s
There are restaurants, and then there are places, and Nana Dee’s Diner in Mesa, Arizona, is firmly and wonderfully in the second category. The difference is hard to explain until you’ve experienced it, and then it’s impossible to forget. Start with the building, because the building is...

Long-Haul Drivers On I-8 Have Quietly Relied On These 8 Family Cafes Between Phoenix And Flagstaff
The climb from Phoenix to Flagstaff, which actually runs along Interstate 17, gains about 5,000 feet of elevation in roughly two hours, and the people who drive it for a living know exactly where to pull off. They skip the glossy chains and head for small family cafes with homemade pies, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, and coffee that keeps the miles moving.

This Cash-Only Arizona Burger Shack Still Grills Every Patty Over Mesquite Coals Like It’s 1972
Mesquite smoke rolls out of an old wooden building that sits among gleaming high-rises. The grill sits right where you order, so your burger cooks in front of your eyes. I like a kitchen with nothing to hide. The coals have been glowing since 1972. That’s more than fifty years...

The Kolache Cafe (Mesa, AZ)
About every six months or so, I’ve been visiting my parents in Arizona, either to help them out, or as a short visit on the way to various backpacking trips. Near my parents house in Arizona is a former Arby’s that has held a good number of different small restaurants in its post-Arby’s existence. Until a few years ago, this was a semi-failing location of Dickey’s Barbecue, which is one of the poorer renditions of Texas Barbecue. But then Dickey’s closed, and the place reopened as a location of the Phoenix-area chain The Kolache Cafe, a bakery chain that specialized in another Texas-specific food: the Kolache.
