Our Arizona food adventures have taken us across the state, exploring delightful spots perfect for getaways, staycations, and reliable favorites close to home. Part of the fun of our getaways is discovering unique and different places, and we love sharing those finds. Here's a look at some recent highlights.
Restaurants for Arizona Getaways
Bear & Dragon Café, Prescott, AZ
Stepping into Bear & Dragon feels like entering an old English library. Books line the walls, and the cozy ambiance makes it uniquely inviting. On our visit, we enjoyed their highly recommended chicken pot pie, perfect comfort food. Service was excellent, and we particularly loved sitting on a cozy little couch, just enough room for the two of us to relax.
Peach Tree Café, Rimrock, AZ
Just off I-17, Peach Tree Café became an instant favorite stop. Patrick thoroughly enjoyed the Reuben sandwich, while Tamekia delighted in the fluffy pancakes and fresh coffee. It was a memorable, casual stop after our fun getaway at Cliff Castle Casino.
Crema Craft Kitchen, Cottonwood, AZ
Cottonwood is one of our favorite spots for quick getaways, and breakfast at Crema Craft Kitchen is always at the top of our list. The menu consistently impresses us with creative and delicious dishes, setting the perfect tone for a relaxing day ahead.
Local Favorites in Peoria, AZ
Bourbon & Bones, Peoria, AZ
Their happy hour is our go-to for a special date night.
When we're looking for an upscale dining experience close to home, Bourbon & Bones in Peoria is our preferred choice. Although a bit pricey, their happy hour is ideal for a special date night. We particularly enjoy "The Devil's Cut" Hot Rock Wagyu, thinly sliced wagyu beef cooked tableside on a sizzling hot rock. It's as delicious as it is fun.
Save room for dessert.
Haymaker, Peoria, AZ
Haymaker delivers hearty comfort food in a bright, inviting atmosphere, making it a standout choice for family gatherings or laid-back meals. The delicious, filling dishes and warm ambiance keep us coming back regularly.
