The 38 Essential Restaurants in Phoenix

"Like the other two restaurants under this restaurant family’s umbrella — Richardson’s and the Rokerij — this sliver of a spot dominated by a long bar specializes in New Mexican cuisine but ventures into ’80s-era Southwestern territory as well. Regulars come for the all-day brunch, offering rellenos, huevos rancheros, smoky carne adovada, steak, green chile stew, and Vic’s meatloaf with eggs. The menu is broad and the choices seemingly endless. If finding a table is impossible, pop over to Richardson’s or the Rokerij instead. The menus are nearly identical. However, Dick’s is the only one of the three to open at 7 a.m." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
