"A James Beard America’s Classics winner and longtime fixture of Phoenix dining, Fry Bread House has been serving Indigenous cuisine since 1992. Founded by the late Cecelia Miller of the Tohono O’odham Nation, the restaurant helped introduce generations of diners to Native American comfort food, especially fry bread — light, crisp, chewy, and big enough to blanket a plate. The savory version is stuffed taco-style with options like green chili beef, red chili, or chorizo and beans, while sweet versions come dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled in honey or chocolate. Most dishes land comfortably under $15, and one fry bread taco is often enough for a full meal. Few places in the Valley are this affordable and this foundational." - McConnell Quinn
