42 Best American Restaurants in Phoenix

“Great food and service. Innovative beverages, excellent wine list. Definitely recommend.“

“Absolutely Delicious 😋 Can’t stop talking about it! We will definitely be back.“

“We just came in with a large group and sat at a firepit. We were told to leave after a few min due to a large group reservation in an hour. We talked to the manager who told us we could stay for an hour until the reservation showed. Our table was ready after about 30 min. We were stuck in the back of a private area where 2 people didn’t receive their food until half way through and one person waited for a condiment for the entire meal. Another person got her drink order filled at the very end of the dinner. Before we left they seated 2 other tables extremely close to us when many many other tables were available! During a pandemic! Horrible experience from a usually very enjoyable place. Poorly poorly managed!“

“First time customer here had an amazing experience, Jack was my server and he was so friendly and helpful with everything I needed throughout my dining experience highly recommend and definitely will be coming back. Thank you again Jack for making my night!“

“Great Lamb burger and service!!! I would highly recommend“

“The Bloody Mary bar and cocktails are worth it alone, but then you get the food and you can’t decide which one you will come back for more!“

“Local restaurant exceeded my expectations. Bacon wrapped shrimp and green Chile cornbread were awesome. A little pricy but worth it. You get what you pay for in this case. Service was top notch too.“

“The cuisine is amazing. For a true fine culinary experience with a modern relaxed atmosphere it’s a must go. The staff are exceptional and very knowledgeable about all the cuisine, daily specials, wine, pairing, and spirits and special events. Chef Rusconi and his wife Nancy stand at the chefs pass inspecting and finishing every plate for perfection before it’s served to the customer. When time permits either Chef Rusconi or his wife Nancy will visit with the customers to answer questions or just small talk to get to know their customers. Very personal touch that is very rear to experience in today’s restaurant market. Chef Rusconi’s cuisine creations start by him hand selecting all the freshest and highest quality ingredients and processes them himself. Ensuring you will enjoy his exceptional creations and their complex flavors and aromas. Rusconi’s American Kitchen is an extraordinary experience that you owe to yourself to enjoy.“

“Great tasting beer and good food!“

“There's a nice man named "Devin" who works there as a manager. He's very mature, and his hospitality is impressive. Always had a great time with him and the bartenders. Great food, entertainment, and the waitresses are very nice. This is the best place in Phoenix/Scottsdale. No fights, good people, the DJ and waitresses are very nice, and if you want to let loose and relax, this place is by far the best in Arizona. The music, staff, beautiful lights inside, make it a very reputable place to relax, and have a good time.“

“Chicken cordon bleu with tater tots and a side of ranch.“

“su delicioso cafe, y sus hot cakes“

“Janae is the best bartender at Twin Peaks. Always happy to see her working, never leave unhappy!“

“The adult beverages, food, and service all went above and beyond my expectations!!! You owe it to your to give this place a try!!! And, a special "THANK YOU" to our server Hilary!!! She was so knowledgeable about the menu items, and drink choices, and provided an AMAZING experience!!!“

“We loved this place! The food had so much flavor even if seems like a small menu. Service was knowledgeable and went above and beyond. Hostess was super nice , as well as busboy and waitress who was above and beyond with descriptions of food and genuinely made us leave happy. I think her name was Mindi and Mandy ??“

“Honestly, this is mine and my families FAVORITE burger spot in PHX. There's this flavor of nostalgia that comes from taking a bite into this amazing burger! It helps that you decide on the toppings and sauce. But the flavor profile is nostalgic to my childhood. Classic, very well-made burger, followed by amazing seasoned fries. This location isn't anywhere near my home, but I'll take this spot of any chain burger. The spot is small and intimate. We usually eat there because we live far away, but many people walk in and out the door with their orders. Stop here! You won't be disappointed. *no pictures because we inhale it all and forget every time we go.“

“Super friendly staff, fair pricing with great happy hour deals. Perfect downtown Phoenix location. Delicious burger. Definitely worth a stop. I know I’ll be back.“

“Great food. Great drinks. Nice but not crazy expensive“

“If you’re looking for a nice meal that is celiacs friendly, this is the perfect place for that fancy meal! We enjoyed the gluten free green chili corn bread. It was on the spendy side, but it was well worth the dollars spent!“

“my all time favorite restaurant“

“Fantastic food, service and presentation. Perfectly seasoned and FRESH! This is a little jewel hidden in a warehouse district. will definitely recommend and return.“

“We enjoyed a large salad and BLT. Both were huge, we shared and had half a sandwich to bring home.“

“Very nice atmosphere for all occasions with friendly staff!“

“We are new-ish to the Valley & like to support local places, so we look for new restaurants to visit each weekend. I found The Main Ingredient on FB yesterday & the menu caught my attention. We'll, SO glad we drive in to try it! Holy smokes did we gave a great lunch today! I had the brunch huevos & the hubs had the Cuban. Great portions (I couldn't finish my huevos) and both of us were saying we want to come back & try other items. The service was fine - I definitely felt like if you were from the neighborhood you were recognized & chatted up, but by no means was our server not perfectly fine... appropriately friendly & attentive, drinks & refills arrived promptly, she checked on us mid-meal, the bill came promptly. Zero complaints on service but hands in the air on that food! We'll definitely return to try out more of the menu!“

“Great service and offerings!“

“This place is always welcoming, no matter when I come in they are always there to help even when it's busy they make their way to you. I've been going to this Dennys for years and the only one I will go to. The kitchen is always on point with the food they put out“

“great service great food great environment😊“

“The food was good and atmosphere is amazing.“

“What a sparkling diamond! 💎 The owl theme with the vintage store atmosphere made me feel right at home. The swag lamps and chandeliers and delicious food make it a cozy cafe. It’s also child friendly with the decor and the owl selfie station. Highly recommend! It’s a definite must stop for the visitor to the area.“

“Love WF - yummy and great atmosphere!“

“My sister and I had such a good yummy happy hour, which was also probably dinner. The best customer service. They treat you like a family. Alicia, the manager, was the best. She heard me tell my sister that the butter caramel cake looked yummy. So what does she do? She brings us one on the house!! I will keep coming back here, not just for a free dessert but because of the yummy food, drinks, and everything in between. The best place ever. Thank you, Arcadia location. Love you. 🌄🌵🐴🎯💯💃🏽“

“Mike is absolutely amazing—so cool, fun, and attentive! We’ve been here multiple times, and he’s always our server, making every visit even better. The food is consistently fantastic, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Today I placed an online order and it was set to deliver, my mistake. I called the restaurant and let them know I will have a family member pick up order. They were super understanding and said the order was changed to pick up. As my family member arrived he saw the “delivery “ person grab our order from the pick up shelves and leave. Oh well. My family just let them since the order was on its way. Well, the guy never arrived at our home. I called the restaurant explaining my issue- and they immediately said they’d replace the order. No need to reorder, and it would be ready in 15 minutes. They were incredibly professional and exceptionally fast. I cannot recommend Flower Child enough for this. THANK YOU! The dinner was amazing and stress free- and I will be back many times over ❤️“

“Beautiful restaurant with gorgeous views and a beautiful romantic setting. The food was excellent, and the service was amazing.“

“My husband was in town for his baseball game, so I took my mother out to lunch—and it was such a lovely experience! Our server was incredibly attentive and kind, checking on us several times throughout the meal. My mother and I truly enjoyed the food—especially the salad, which was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, and overall, it's a great place to eat. We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in town!“

“It’s always so good. Hopefully they build one in Arrowhead in North Glendale, AZ soon.“
