5 Great Locally Owned Restaurants to Try This Fall in Scottsdale

Our favorite locally owned restaurants in Scottsdale include:

  • Grassroots Kitchen & Tap
  • Craft 64
  • The Mission
  • Butters Pancakes + Café
  • Rehab Burger Therapy

Grassroots Kitchen & Tap

Grassroots Kitchen & Tap
8120 North Hayden
480699-0699

Grassroots Kitchen & Tap is a family-owned and operated restaurant serving lunch and dinner in Scottsdale. You’ll love the atmosphere and the menu in this fabulous local hotspot – they have an extensive selection of craft beers and wines, as well as a delectable menu featuring the freshest ingredients in creative recipes. This restaurant also features fabulous dining patios, which are great for Scottsdale’s beautiful fall evenings.

Craft 64

Craft 64
6922 East Main Street
480-946-0542

Craft 64 actually has two locations – one in Scottsdale and one in Chandler – and they’re equally amazing. It’s the perfect place to dine after a long day or a weekend out, offering local beers, great pizza and wood-fired focaccia sandwiches. The kitchen here uses local ingredients, too, and it’s located in one of the oldest adobe houses in Old Town. Like the other restaurants on this list, it features an outdoor seating area so you can enjoy the beautiful weather.

The Mission

The Mission
3815 North Brown Avenue
480-636-5005

The Mission is more than a restaurant. It’s a truly exceptional experience. You’ll enjoy intimate indoor dining near a Himalayan salt block wall or cozy, outdoor seating near the fire – either way, you’ll hear a wonderful blend of mixed Latin and modern music. The menu includes delectable cuisine, and we recommend starting with the tableside guacamole before moving on to tacos in hand-pressed corn tortillas, pollo a la brasa or chorizo porchetta.

Butters Pancakes + Café

Butters Pancakes + Café
8300 North Hayden Road
480-629-4333

Butters Pancakes + Café has two locations, both in Scottsdale. (The other is at 14795 North Northsight Boulevard, in Northsight Crossing.) This is definitely the place to go for breakfast and lunch any day of the week. The menu includes amazing French toast (including banana nut bread French toast, which we’ve never found anywhere else), omelets and plenty of specialty dishes, as well as prime rib French dip, the Nova Lox Platter and so much more.

Rehab Burger Therapy

Rehab Burger Therapy
7210 East 2nd Street
480-621-5358

Rehab Burger Therapy, a fast, fresh and fun place to grab a quick bite, is a locally owned treasure. They have two other locations (one in Phoenix and one in Tempe) because the food is just that good. When you want a creative burger and to immerse yourself in a fun, beach-themed environment, there’s no reason not to come here. Dine on the patio to enjoy the weather or stay inside and watch the big-screens – either way, you’ll be glad you stopped in.
