Arizona Restaurant Week starts spring edition today with dine-in or to-go meals

The twice-a-year Arizona Restaurant Week begins its 10-day spring run today with more than 100 participating restaurants offering special three-course meals for either $33 or $44.

For the first time in the promotion’s 13 years, the meals will be available for dine-in or to-go due to the Covid-19 pandemic that delayed the week from its usual May dates.

• Chandler: Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Ginger Monkey, Roy’s Restaurant, The Sicilian Butcher, and Truland Burgers & Greens.
• Gilbert: Barrio Queen, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Kona Grill, Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill.
• Mesa: Charleston’s.
• Queen Creek: Barrio Queen.
• Tempe: Barrio Queen, Marauders, Pedal Haus Brewery, Salut Kitchen Bar, and Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill.
