Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Buckeye

We dined this evening at the Fat Ox after hearing good things, so we had high expectations. When we arrived the service was quick and attentive and we were seated right away. At this point our server Brandt greeted us and walked us through the menu, providing very helpful recommendations. He took a lot of time and was clearly very passionate about the food and the restaurant. I won’t highlight everything we had, but Brandt was absolutely spot on with his suggestions. Our group agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The chicken was absolutely incredible. The food was perfect, the service was amazing and it absolutely resulted in a memorable night with my family. I cannot recommend the Fat Ox enough, and if you’re lucky enough to get Brandt as your server, you will have an incredible night. He made the night extremely special. Go to the Fat Ox. You will not regret it.

All about our experience for our milestone wedding anniversary was a five star except for the reservation process. Our service staff Tyler was amazing and highly recommend him. I felt that there was enough empty tables at any given time while the reservations were totally booked weeks before. Even though I stopped by the restaurant the day before, they said they were full. I feel they are making it extremely difficult to get a reservation and that’s either to show off or some other reason I’m not sure. I rather suggest go to the terrace which doesn’t need any reservation and enjoy the views with drinks and food.

The atmosphere was lovely. Our waiter Chris was amazing and very attentive. The food was spectacular. I loved what I ordered and so did my friend. We will definitely be going back there in the near future.

Lon’s is in a beautiful setting. There is a wonderful patio for outside dining and inside is lovely with separation between tables to give your party privacy. We liked that there was no loud music so we could visit with everyone in our group. Our server was professional, helpful and friendly.

The Mission in Old Town Scottsdale delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The warm ambiance, expertly crafted dishes, and handcrafted cocktails made for a memorable meal. Every bite was packed with bold flavors, and the service was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We left completely satisfied and can’t wait to return!
