Named for a French woman who touched the founder's heart during WWII France, this string of restaurants has a unique flair that couples New Orleans style with the charm of a French cafe. The menu follows this same sensibility, featuring homemade dishes filled with flavor, such as blackened salmon, pasta jambalaya and rosemary-tinged roast chicken. A variety of burgers, salads, sandwiches and daily soups is also wonderful, if your appetite's not as hearty. A full bar is available as well. |

Description:
CHANDLER. A small Southwest chain, Z'Tejas offers casual, fun atmosphere and a menu to match. Bright Southwestern decor complements zesty American-Southwestern food, promising a punch to the taste buds. Plus, a Cajun influence is evident here and there, so you'll find creative options like catfish beignets, quesadillas, oyster shooters with chipotle cream, chile pork verde, blackened catfish tacos, and pork tenderloin stuffed with chorizo, cheese, onions, and poblanos. Leave room for dessert – they're famous for their ancho chile fudge pie. |

Better Than Sex Cake Café |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
238 S Wall St, Chandler 85225 • 480-722-1220 |
|
|
| |
Description:
Yep, someone opened a restaurant that serves nothing but Better Than Sex cake. Well, they serve a pretty good lunch, too – homemade soups are fabulous even if they are secondary to the cake. Still, there's just something about that cake – chocolate-y, caramel-y, whipped cream-y, with just a hint of crunch from crushed Heath bars. And the place has three additional varieties, so you'll never get bored: The Blonde is yellow cake with pineapple, custard, whipped cream, and crushed peanut brittle. The Red is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and toffee covered nuts. The Chocolate Ecstasy (the most sinful, by far) boasts chocolate cake, coffee, coffee liquor, raspberries, whipped cream, and shaved chocolate. Oh my. |

|
|

Description:
CHANDLER. In true steakhouse fashion, Fleming's sports lots of dark wood and leather. It also provides attentive service and top-notch food.

Heart Attack Grill |
|
(Restaurants - American) |
|
6185 W Chandler Blvd, Chandler 85226 |
|
|
| |
Description:
Everyone has to be bad every now and then, so when the urge for high-fat pleasure hits, this shameless burger joint has the self-proclaimed “taste worth dying for.” Go for the Single, Double, or Triple Bypass burger with a side of Flatliner Fries, deep-fried in pure lard. If you're especially daring, the 8000-calorie Quadruple Bypass burger challenges even the hungriest customer. No diet drinks – and not even lettuce – are offered. Wristbands link you to your order, and if you run into trouble, the “doctor” (owner) can check you out, and the scantily-clad, vixenish “nurses” (waitresses) can take you to your car in a wheelchair. Cholesterol has never been so irreverent! |
