Question: "What's one of the best things to do in Flagstaff?"
Answer: "Eat"
One of the best things about living in our (quiet) mountain town is the food. So whether your roots in Flagstaff go back generations or you just got here, here is our list of local favorite eateries around town (in no particular order):
1. Granny's Closet
218 South Milton Road
http://www.grannys-closet.com/site/
A place where everyone can eat, Granny's offers great food with a little bit of Flagstaff history and flair. It's the perfect place for any occassion : dates, out with friends, or just watching the game. Their super juicy and tender steak and prime rib are to die for. Don't for get to grab one of Granny's infamous homemade pies.
2. Salsa Brava
2220 East Route 66
www.salsabravaflagstaff.com
Salsa Brava is perfect place to forget your troubles and just eat good food. Thanks to their salsa bar, they were voted "Best Salsa" by the Arizona Daily Sun. This Mexican food is the best you can get in Flagstaff! Salsa Brava has also been featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri on the Food Network.
3. Mike and Ronda's The Place
West: 21 S Milton Rd
East: 3518 East Route 66
Facebook page
Move over Denny's. Hop away IHOP. Mike and Ronda's is really the only breakfast "place" to be. The Place has large serving sizes and hometown feel food, making this a local favorite locals, visitors, and students alike.
4. Taverna Greek Grill
2420 S Woodlands Village
http://www.tavernagreekgrill.com
Only a couple years old, Taverna has become a hot spot for locals to kick back and have a nice Greek meal. Wait until the music kicks in and your waiters are dancing around the restaurant and the bartenders are blowing fire. Don't let this distract you from the fantastic reverse happy hour that starts at 8 and goes until close. Opa!
5.. Josephine's Modern American Bistro
503 North Humphreys Street
www.josephinesrestaurant.com
Here in Flagstaff, everything is more kicked back and casual. Josephine's allows us to eat good food in a fine dining atomosphere at a casual price. Their sandwhiches are excellent and you'll never have to see your glass empty. Check out their wine selection too!
6. Big Foot BBQ
120 N. Leroux In the Basement Marketplace, Old Town Shops
http://www.bigfootbbq.com
Big Foot BBQ is the best place to get BBQ in town. Located in a quirky spot in the Basement Marketplace downtown, the folks at Big Foot know how to give you your fill of all the tasty goodness BBQ has to offer at great prices. You can even buy their sauce and take it home with you.
7. Diablo Burger
120 n. leroux st, flagstaff
www.diabloburger.com/
Diablo burger is all about local, so everything is always fresh. This cash only establishment has the Flagstaff values of locality and their food reflects their high standard of where their food comes from. What most call a "hippie" mentality, I say, would a hippie eat a cheeseburger?
8. Dara Thai
14 S San Francisco St
What would a food list be with out some Asian food? While the Chinese or Japanese places around town are mostly decent, Thai food -- specifically from Dara Thai -- is the best place in town. The staff always greets you as a friend and makes sure your food is cooked to perfection. Don't pass this place up if you're looking for a great Asian restaurant.
9. Beaver Street Brewery & The Lumberyard Brewery
Beaver Street: 11 S. Beaver
The Lumberyard: 5 S. San Francisco
Putting two restaurants on one number is probably cheating, but hear me out. These two breweries are owned by the same couple; though they're sister breweries, they have very distinctive styles and food. Both are fantastic places to grab a beer (it is a brewery afterall) and Beaver Street has the best wood fire pizzas Flagstaff has to offer. The Lumberyard has great wings. Pick either one and you won't be disappointed.
10. Mama Burger
991 North Fort Valley Road
Mama Burger is the best place to get your old fashioned burger fix. From milkshakes to burgers, their menu has a variety. They just recently moved to a bigger establishment on the way to SnowBowl, but don't worry, they took their great recipe's and good service with them. Ooohhh mama.
