Best Southwest American Restaurants in North Central Phoenix

Great patio seating and the service was very good. There were some very noisy college football fans who were a bit obnoxious—overly loud. Not the fault of Richardsons. Great place to have dinner with friends.

We had the Halibut special. It was delicious, from the cherry compote, to the puréed cauliflower, to the sweet potato, all came together in a beautiful meal. The service was outstanding as usual. This is why we always come back.

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and were very pleased in how we were treated, the food and the atmosphere. We have not been to the Roaring Fork for awhile now as we moved to the far east side of the Valley. We were not disappointed. From the moment we were created by the hostess, to the server in the Bar Area for Happy Hour to our table for dinner we were well treated. I believe our server in the bar was Matt and our table server was Kalyn. Thank you so much for taking care of us and making our anniversary night out enjoyable.

It was my first visit. They have a small menu but our server Selas (spelling🤔) was excellent. She gave very good recommendations. The hot chicken bites were so tasty and tender. The fries were fresh, crispy and piping hot. The manager came to check on us. The whole staff was super friendly.

Visiting from Calgary, Alberta this was our first time at Rita’s and our evening was absolutely magical. The service was amazing, food was outstanding and the live musician was incredible. We will definitely have this on our “must to go” list for future visits.
