Loving Hut

Is it possible that we can love a restaurant more than we love Loving Hut? We think not. That’s because this super chain does something with gourmet vegan cuisine we can’t find anyplace else: they turn wholesome ingredients into a repast that’s not only good for us, but tastes amazing, too. Currently the fastest-growing vegan […]

Low Key Piano Bar

Watch your step as you head down to this basement, quasi-amphitheater that doubles as a jazz club. The high-key energy is punctuated by dueling piano ballads covering a wide range of classics everyone can sing along to. With lots of seating options, you can bring the whole gang and sip on signature fish bowls or […]

Luci’s Healthy Marketplace

Luci’s Healthy Marketplace specializes in organic and natural foods – sort of like a pint-sized Sprouts, minus the produce department. It’s bright and airy inside, with a stylish retro-modern theme, a coffee bar, and a Viking Test Kitchen, where they offer cooking demonstrations. For a neighborhood market, Luci’s is pretty unique. Read our review.

Lucky Break

There are plenty of reasons to cruise into this swank South Tempe sports bar and billiards haven to grab a drink or catch the game. First off, you won’t find just any old ramshackle pool tables inside the place, as it’s stocked with six gleaming, high-end Spencer Marston tables made from solid hardwood. Sharks and […]

Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge

“Upscale” and “bowling alley” aren’t words that you often hear in the same sentence. Until Lucky Strike Lanes opened at CityScape, that is. This California-based chain isn’t your typical bowling alley, full of church groups and old people smoking cigarettes in a dingy lounge. Nope, Lucky Strike is far more posh. A dozen lanes for […]

Lucky’s King Wah

This sparse but tidy home of Cantonese cooking in Glendale comes courtesy of Kitty and Kwok Pat, who have been part of the Valley’s Chinese restaurant scene for over 40 years. With more than 100 items in their Chinese menu as well as several specials (listed in Chinese) on dry erase boards covering the restaurant’s […]

Luckys Indoor Outdoor

The name of this downtown Phoenix bar hints at the space, which functions really as two separate concepts: Luckys Indoor and Luckys Outdoor. Inside, the vibe is all college dive bar, complete with low lighting, pool tables, twinkle lights and Skee Ball. Outside, the huge patio space includes a large deck and a grassy area […]

Luke’s of Chicago

Homesick for Chicago, or know someone who is? Take your taste buds on a trip back at Luke’s of Chicago, an Arizona restaurant that originated in the Windy City. The recipes and preparation techniques for the signature Italian beef – thinly sliced, tender, full of flavor, and totally irresistible – were handed down by family […]

Lulu’s Taco Shop

For more than a decade now, Lulu’s has been tempting us with authentic, Guadalajara-style cooking, including dreamy cocido, a traditional beef stew. It’s as full-figured as a voluptuous señorita, the broth gorged with soft zucchini, celery, green pepper, fall-apart-tender beef, onion and corn-on-the-cob halves. Lulu’s also charms with homemade tortillas, seafood cocktail, and a fresh […]
