   We love this restaurant/sports bar. Our daughter and family came to visit for Christmas holiday and we wanted a place fun, great food and reasonable prices. Famous 48 was perfect. The server was friendly and checked in with us often. The staff made sure our grandson could watch his favorite football team on TV. Be sure and try the Famous 48 cornbread. It’s awesome.

   The food was great and we will return for that reason. Service was just nearly ok - it could have been better, especially because they were really slow. I would recommend trying it for sure.

   Let me tell you about an afternoon that reminded me why outdoor dining in Arizona can be a spiritual experience. Famous 48's patio - and I don't say this lightly - might be the finest al fresco setting in Scottsdale, where the desert light plays across tables like nature's own stage lighting. The BBQ Grilled Drumettes arrived in a presentation that would make a Memphis pitmaster weep with joy. Here was chicken that understood its purpose - impossibly moist, lacquered with sauce that demanded full surrender to the primal pleasure of eating with your hands. When a restaurant provides moist towelettes without being asked, you know they understand the sacred contract between kitchen and diner. The Whipped Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes presented an interesting dialogue about the eternal question of butter quantity. Were they over-enriched? Perhaps. But in an era where many restaurants seem afraid of fat, there's something almost defiant about this luxurious excess. What truly elevated the experience was our server, freshly returned from a road trip and radiating the kind of genuine enthusiasm for hospitality that's become increasingly rare. When staff express joy about returning to work, you know you're in an establishment that understands the true meaning of service.

    If you want a great thin crust pizza, this place does it right. It’s been our go-to-place for pizza. Although they only have 4 kinds(traditional, bbq chicken, etc)the crust is fantastic, even the cauliflower crust is outstanding. The size is enough for two. If pizza isn’t your thing plenty of other great items. This is a sports bar so plenty of tv’s and show many of the local teams.
