Coffee Places Tasty Treats Everyday Food Finer Dining Bars and Brewpubs Coupons and Deals

This page is designed as a list of places to find food in the downtown Tempe, Arizona (Arizona State University) area. I maintain this list as a nice reference for friends and anyone who happens to run across it and has a use for it. I am always willing to take suggestions for new listings; please feel free to email me.

Most of these places are in walking distance of ASU. Some are a bit far and one or two you may want a car for. I would say check out a map of the local area before heading to someplace if you are not sure. But 90% of this stuff is a 5-10 minute walk from Campus. Also, please note that any of the scanned menus you see were done by me and my not be up to date. Unless they are a link to the restaurant's own web page, assume they are to give you an idea of what foods a place has, not the prices.

Another Viewer request.... I have added some links to coupons for places that I know have them. I have indicated this is there for you by putting a flashing dollar sign in the what they have box for these places, right by the link.
