Reviewed By Dell A - Cleveland, Ohio
"The sign of a good restaurant is line to get in", I've heard but Skyrider puts things saying to the test. This place offers a scenic view of the airport and saguaro garden in the rear. But the wait was nearly an hour for our table of three. Our consolation was 10% off because of the wait. Food was good (especially the sausage gravy) but not hot. A word of advice is to avoid peak hours.

OK, I know I should be eating SW and Mexican food f I'm vacationing in Arizona. But frozen custard isn't common on the East Coast and this place knows how to make it. Enjoyed a quick and tasty meal of burgers, shoestring fries and shakes (that would be frappes in Boston).

Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain
Reviewed By BLBTraveler - Phoenix, Arizona
We've been to CORE for New Year's Eve dinner two years in a row. The first year we were blown away and this year was no exception. Ok, it's pricey, especially for holiday meals but it's worth every penny. We ordered the Wine Flight to go with our meal (also pricey, lol) but again....what a wonderful way to try new wines! Every dish is presented with artful display but the flavors are where it's even more exceptional. EVERY. SINGLE. COURSE. was extraordinary. Honestly....those scallops were the best I have ever tasted....in my life. (and I lived for some time in Seattle). The sommelier does a wonderful job picking wines but the service is what really takes this place over the top. I specifically asked them to slow down the courses so we could take our sweet time....no problem. I didn't care for one of the wine pairings and asked for a replacement. No problem. They will bend over backward to please you. Well worth the money and absolutely wonderful for special occasions.

Reviewed By Loveytoone - Cincinnati, Ohio
We just landed in Phoenix and drove out to Marana to check into the Ritz on New Year's Eve day. Given our fatigue we knew we wouldn't make it to midnight anywhere so headed to Cayton's. Was delightful sitting on the patio (with space heaters) and we were served by Ky (pronounced Key). What an amazing staff member Cayton's has in him. He reviewed the menu and made great suggestions. We ended up with a burger and pulled pork. The salads at the beginning were outstanding. And to top it all off we had the skillet chocolate chip cookie which was a perfect ending.
5. Savaya Coffee

Reviewed By Tundrachoochoo - Tucson, Arizona
If you want a smooth freshly ground coffee that's roasted by local peeps then come here. My Americano is always smooth and rich. My honey had the cold brew and loved it. Supposedly, their history goes back more than several generations from Turkey. The coffee is heavenly and certainly worth the visit. Marana location has a comfy inside with chairs and wifi and gluten free cookies. Try local and you won't be let down.

Whether you are seated at the bar or outside in the lounge area the service will be excellent. So many places to just relax. Also several Large TV’s to catch the game but not loud like a sports bar. The World Series and college/NFL football were happening while we where here so we were happy to be able to catch the games. Food is awesome!! Servers and Bartenders are ALL very good, friendly!! We felt very at home here. Treat yourself to a fine glass of wine and sit fireside at the end of your day. Hopefully you will catch the flautist playing a Native American tune.

Was staying in the Days Inn and popped here for dinner one night. Really excellent New York Steak - very very tasty.
Nice sports bar with huge screens. Ate at the bar - good service and friendly staff. The freshly baked bread was a nice touch - just a shame it was infused with cinnamon.

At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.
Reviewed By rockcole - Doylestown, Pennsylvania
No big deal. Hamburger is small and thin. Fries skinny and not salty, bun ok. The nice part is the lettuce. Fresh and tasty.
Their claim to fame is fresh organic quality food.
They pare the potatoes, pick the lettuce, etc each morning at each store.
A little higher priced than McDonalds.
Very limited menu.
