The Top 100 Restaurants Near Le Girls

Updated June 17, 2026

Categories

  1. Rank 1. The Stockyards

    Western Steakhouse

    The Stockyards has been slinging corn-fed steaks and prime rib since 1947, in a dining room that feels like it's been waiting for you since the cattle-baron days, with baking soda biscuits that haven't changed and a wood-paneled saloon designed by a rancher's wife. Order the Arizona cut rib-eye, nurse a whiskey, and settle in among the Western leather and old-school swagger of a place that takes its steakhouse pedigree seriously.

    Peruvian

    Smoke from an enormous rotisserie oven fills this small, modern counter spot the moment you walk in, announcing exactly what you came for. Order a whole or half bird with salad and Peruvian sauces, thick-cut fries, and an Inca Kola, and you'll understand why the parking lot smells the way it does.

  5. Rank 5. Cafe Lalibela

    Ethiopian

    A husband-and-wife team has run this stripped-down Tempe spot for decades, serving some of the best Ethiopian food in the Phoenix area with an emphasis on vegetarian dishes and the spongy injera bread that anchors most meals. The key sega wat—a spicy beef stew—is worth the trip, and the glossary menu means newcomers won't feel lost navigating unfamiliar territory.

  6. Rank 6. Harlow's Cafe

    Diner American

    Harlow's has been the kind of place where regulars camp out with coffee for hours, turning University Drive into a proper neighborhood corner near Arizona State's campus. The kitchen does unfussy breakfast and lunch—creamed chipped beef on toast, French dips, chicken-fried steak—with the kind of competence that only comes from nearly three decades of doing the same things right.

  7. Rank 7. Casey Moore's Oyster House

    A 1910 house in Tempe where college kids and seasoned drinkers mix happily over cheap drinks and solid food, with the kind of homey chaos that makes you feel like you've always belonged there. The place has earned its reputation as the real heart of the town—and possibly a ghost or two—by never taking itself seriously and always getting the good times rolling.

Whether you're avoiding gluten or just hungry, nothing here tastes like it's missing a thing, and bottomless mimosas help seal the deal.

  73. Rank 73. Kabob Grill N' Go

    Armenian Middle Eastern

    At Kabob Grill N' Go, Hasmik greets you warmly while her husband Tony tends the live coals in a haze of mesquite smoke, roasting marinated skewers he's perfected over years. The massive combos come loaded with over a pound of meat, basmati rice, Shirazi salad, and grilled vegetables—casual counter service that feeds two and leaves regulars genuinely evangelical.

  77. Rank 77. The Mission

    Mexican

    A dimly lit room where the margaritas flow and leather booths invite you to settle in—The Mission brings proper Mexican cooking and snappy cocktails to a corner of Scottsdale that's mostly resigned itself to burgers and sushi. Street tacos and bacon-wrapped hot dogs are the show-stealers, and at fifteen bucks a drink, it's the kind of place where lingering feels like the whole point.

  81. Rank 81. Pizzeria Bianco

    Neapolitan Pizza

    Chris Bianco's compact brick room in Heritage Square has been the reason Phoenix became a pizza town—his Neapolitan pies, built on tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil, inspired a generation of American pizzaioli since 1996. Lines still wrap around the block for wood-fired pizza from a man who won two James Beard Awards and fundamentally changed how Americans think about pizza.

  83. Rank 83. Pretty Penny

    International

    A sleek Roosevelt Row dining room draped in forest green where two bartenders known for rowdy nightlife pivoted to cooking serious food—think hamachi al pastor and orecchiette with charred-tomato bolognese, plus caviar service if you're splurging. The cocktails (charred tomato martini, passionfruit negroni) are built to match the boldness on the plate, making this an upscale celebration of a meal.

    In a black bungalow downtown, Lom Wong serves northern Thai food rooted in owner Yotaka Martin's childhood in Chiang Rai—hand-pounded curry pastes, charcoal-grilled sausage, and dishes meant for sharing. Boozy cocktails spiked with fish sauce and rose water pair beautifully with the bold, layered flavors.

    A casual neighborhood spot on McDowell that transformed from pandemic takeout into a proper sit-down dining room, complete with Ethiopian furniture and a cocktail list. The generous combo platters are built for sharing—spicy doro wot, gomen, and meser wot arrive on one massive round plate alongside tangy stews and spongy injera that soaks it all up.

    Mexican

    A bright, mural-covered neighborhood taco shop in Arcadia where the cook calls out "con todo" and you say yes to onions, cilantro, guac, and salsa on everything. The al pastor and carne asada are reliably excellent, the mushroom options are inventive, and the orange salsa will clear your sinuses in the best way.
