Best Family Style Restaurants in Phoenix / Arizona

We dined this evening at the Fat Ox after hearing good things, so we had high expectations. When we arrived the service was quick and attentive and we were seated right away. At this point our server Brandt greeted us and walked us through the menu, providing very helpful recommendations. He took a lot of time and was clearly very passionate about the food and the restaurant. I won’t highlight everything we had, but Brandt was absolutely spot on with his suggestions. Our group agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The chicken was absolutely incredible. The food was perfect, the service was amazing and it absolutely resulted in a memorable night with my family. I cannot recommend the Fat Ox enough, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brandt as your server, you will have an incredible night. He made the night extremely special. Go to the Fat Ox. You will not regret it.

Our server, Dani, was amazing--attentive and responsive and provided great recommendations! The food, as always, was well played and very delicious!

We had brunch. All the food was outstanding So delicious! We love it! Lexus our server is always excellent and very knowledgeable about everything!!!

The Mission in Old Town Scottsdale delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The warm ambiance, expertly crafted dishes, and handcrafted cocktails made for a memorable meal. Every bite was packed with bold flavors, and the service was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We left completely satisfied and can’t wait to return!

I had a friend visiting from out of town and we both had heard good things about Toco Madera so thought we'd give it a try and so glad we did! The layout and ambience is very inviting. We were first seated at a table in the center of the venue which ended up feeling a little drafty(just the way the airflow was in the exact spot), so we asked our served if we could move tables and she gladly assisted in getting us a more comfortable spot. And our server(Jordan), wow she was the best! Super sweet, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about menus items and just everything! The food and drinks were incredible. We tried the watermelon and passion fruit margaritas, along with some sipping tequila-and have to say the watermelon was definitely a favorite! If you like spicy I'd highly recommend the sashimi Mexicano-so good! We also tried some different tacos-all of which were unique and tasted great. Highly recommend Toco!
