Chandler/Tempe recs

Will be staying at Sheraton Wild Horse Pass in a week or so, visiting my parents in Chandler. We all received our 2nd vaccine, so ready to finally travel and dine out. Any recs for good takeout and a place for a nice dinner out. I’ve had two dinners at Kai in the past, so we are looking for other options. One dinner will be takeout from Carolina’s - one of my faves!

thanks, Jan

Most of the places I eat when I’m out there are kid friendly so I can’t recommend much. We always get Joe’s BBQ in Gilbert. Had a very nice dinner at Steak 44 near Camelback in November 2019. One of my favorite places to go out there is Queen Creek Olive Mill to eat a pizza outside in the olive grove. We usually go on a hike in the San Tan park before we eat.

Thanks Tim, I just realized I posted this in the wrong forum. I’ll repost.

Moderators, feel free to delete. It’s not obvious to me how to do it.

We are locals here. For a casual spot we like Nellos in ahwatukee (good takeout as well). More upscale local (excluding scottsdale): Hidden House, Brickyard, House of Tricks are some good ones. If you are looking for good new mexican style food Ghost Ranch just reopened and we really enjoy it. Origami Ramen in Ahwatukee for take out also pretty good.
