Best Casual Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

We enjoyed lunch at Palma on a Thu afternoon. Our meal started with the guac and chips and the Beef Birria Rangoons. After we had the shrimp tacos and Tsunami Maki, both looked great and tasted even better. The Vibe Check is a bourbon based drink that was light for a midday cocktail. Service was great and both agreed we would be returning in the future. Would like to check it out in the evening when it is fully lit up.

If you like early dinner experiences … this is the place! You get to mix it up with the Happy Hour menu and Dinner menu - all offering great options! Love the shrimp cocktail and oysters appetizers. Finish it off with the Butter cake and Coconut cream pie … yum 😋🫶🏼

It's sometimes a crapshoot with hotel restaurants, but we were impressed with Carcara. Had Sunday brunch -- incredibly attentive service, and the food was quite good. I'd totally come here again (and likely will); it's a great place to go before a performance at Symphony Hall or the Herberger.

Our experience was yet agree fantastic. Our child who is usually picky, ate her entire personal pizza. The mozz sticks and pepperoni pizza were excellent. The service was fast, efficient, and kind. Just an A+ experience! Def gonna be back with the family next time we are in town.

Culinary Drop out at The Yard is my go to place to do a casual business lunch. I can always get in and sevice is great. People seem to like th variety of the menue. Kudos!
