As a special treat, kids can get a Mickey Mouse pancake, complete with a butter-and-whipped cream visage. Grown-ups enjoy hearty scrambles with sausage and chiles on a fluffy egg base. Lunch is almost as popular, featuring burgers, wraps, and quesadillas. Mickey's Hangover Lounge (Restaurants - Best Value) 4312 N Brown Ave, Scottsdale  AZ  85251 • 480-425-0111 Distance: ~10.14 mi         Description: OLD TOWN. A distinctly '70s vibe pervades Mickey's, from its shag carpeting-heavy decor to its appetizer menu, reimagined as "munchie quellers." Despite the time warp, patrons appreciate great happy hour specials on food and drink and tasty grub served late into the evening. Hand-cut sweet potato fries, a spicy Cajun pita, and pesto alfredo pizza are just a few dishes that are tasty on their own and also admirably soak up Mickey's delicious specialty drinks. Salads, subs, and sandwiches comprise the majority of the menu. Don't forget French Canadian toast for dessert – thick-cut slices drenched in maple syrup and whipped cream. Sugar Bowl Ice Cream Parlor (Restaurants - Best Value) 4005 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  AZ  85251 • 480-946-0051 Distance: ~10.46 mi         Description: OLD TOWN.

All your favorites are here: malts, shakes, sodas, floats, ice cream cones, and sundaes in a multitude of flavors with toppings aplenty. If you're craving something more substantive, sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers, and hot dogs can also be had. A great dessert spot that will please the whole family. AZ88 Bar & Restaurant (Restaurants - Best Value) 7353 E Scottsdale Mall, Scottsdale  AZ  85251 • 480-994-5576 Distance: ~10.49 mi         Description: OLD TOWN. Calling Civic Center Mall home, AZ88 offers great views of the complex's fountains and green spaces from its agreeable patio. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner, but Scottsdalers frequently show up for late-night dining that continues until 12:30am. Creative, delicious appetizers and entrees like bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and a fried, spinach-topped portobello mushroom won't strain your wallet. Regulars also rave about galettes, crispy flatbread rounds heaped with bacon, caramelized onions, olives, and parmesan cheese. Oregano's Pizza Bistro (Restaurants - Best Value) 3622 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  AZ  85251 • 480-970-1860 Distance: ~10.70 mi         Description: OLD TOWN. Stuffed crust, thin crust, Chicago-style, build-your-own – if you're a pizzaphile, make your way to Oregano's. Though the place is often packed with families and students, satisfied regulars affirm that the pies are worth the wait. Try something new with house specialties like the Bistro Classic and the El Picasso, or opt for a pasta dish like artichoke lasagna. Servings are large, and happily, prices are small. Their take on dessert – the pleasing pizza cookie – is a sweet, chocolate-laden pie-cookie, begging to be demolished while still warm and oozy. La Grande Orange Pizzeria (Restaurants - Best Value) 4410 N 40th St, Phoenix  AZ  85018 • 602-840-7777 Distance: ~10.90 mi         Description: ARCADIA. In a neighborhood increasingly known for the quality of its restaurant offerings, La Grande Orange is helping bump up the options. Small and friendly, it limits its menu in order to focus on superb ingredients, and the deliberate formula has elicited great response. Essentially, you can order only a pizza, salad, hamburger, or dessert, but gourmet food combinations and perfect preparation more than compensate for the brevity. Salads feature golden beets, grilled figs, and asparagus while pizzas with thin, crisp, sourdough crusts are loaded with rock shrimp, exotic mushrooms, goat cheese, and herbs. Burgers are sumptuous too. A communal table amid individual ones promotes camaraderie in the small space. Acapulco Bay Co. (Restaurants - Best Value) 3030 N 68th St, Scottsdale  AZ  85251 • 480-429-1990 Distance: ~11.28 mi         Description: SOUTH SCOTTSDALE. Focusing on fruits of the sea, this cozy little Mexican joint serves delicious dishes for extremely reasonable prices. Although the restaurant (a converted house) is somewhat crowded, the patio offers relief from the bustling dining room. Order kabobs with juicy shrimp and scallops as an appetizer to share before tackling your main course. Camaron Azteca is a hearty mix of Guaymas shrimp, cheese, onion, tomato, and salsa, served in a lava rock bowl. Less ambitious diners can try ceviche or calamari or simply nibble on first-rate chips and salsa.

Los Sombreros (Restaurants - Best Value) 2534 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  AZ  85257 • 480-994-1799 Distance: ~11.67 mi         Description: SOUTH SCOTTSDALE. Fun, festive decor creates a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy heaping portions of Mexican favorites. If you're famished, an appetizer of beef gorditas will more than tide you over until the main course arrives. Blue corn crab enchiladas, grilled chicken with spinach in chipotle cream sauce, and to-die-for guacamole are frequently ordered. Head to the patio for a change of pace and to tackle a luscious dessert – chocolate tamales are calling.
