A fantastic plate of fish tacos and crispy sweet potato fries. I loved it. $9.00.

Side Door Corner Store Restaurant in Scottsdale

Friday, July 27th, 2012

We had dinner last night at the Side Door Corner Store at 3370 N. Hayden Rd.  Lucky for us there was entertainment there that night Ronnie Glover with a great violinist Ron.  They were fantastic along with the great $1.95 Pastrami sliders, wings and pizzas that we had.  What a good time and so affordable. Here are some of the personal 10 inch pizzas we ordered.  We recommend you split one, too big for one person unless you want a doggie bag!  YUM!!

This is the Santa Fe pizza, spicy and a great combo of flavors

This is one of the new menu items on the tasting menu. It is a bruschetta with a wonderful mix of veggies with a hint of truffle oil. Delicious!

We had a delicious time with Chef Ray Anderson and Danielle from the Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center 7700 East McCormick Parkway   Scottsdale, AZ 85258   (480) 991-9000.  They have some great things going on for the summer.  Rooms for $110.00 with $100.00 of that you can use for food and libation.  That means the room only cost $10.00.  There is also a great new tasting menu at the Palm Court, where they still do table side service and have matchbook covers with your name on it if you call for a reservation. Chef Ray & Danielle brought a few of the items on the menu.  Even in to go tins it still looked amazing and tasted fantastic.  Another great deal is Friday nights at Sangrias at the Scottsdale Resort & Conference center they have $5.00 Beer & Wine tastings…..What a deal!!!!!  Thanks Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center for taking such good care of us at all of their wonderful venues!  DON’T FORGET Champagne SUNDAY BRUNCH!!!
