This sort of thing is my bag! I live in south Scottsdale, work in Phoenix and hang out a lot it Tempe. So my choices favor those locations.
Pig & Pickle - Don't let the name fool you. It's not a BBQ place. I've had a wide range of dishes there, from mussels to polenta to pot roast to trout (to name a few). They do some weird desserts, and you should try the vinegar pie if they have it ... the menu is very seasonal. Great beers and cocktails, too.
Cornish Pasty Co - I love the pasties, but I usually go here for dessert - the chocolate bread-and-butter pudding in particular. Beer selection could be better.
Umami - Best ramen place around. If you're here in the winter and need to warm up, this is perfect.
The Parlor Pizzeria - My favorite fancy wood-fired pizza around, with far better variety than the over-hyped and over-rated Pizzeria Bianco.
Cafe Lalibela - I've eaten Ethiopian food everywhere I see it, but this is still me favorite. I usually go for a vegetarian combo and some asa wat.
Takamatsu of Chandler Inc - When I need Korean food, this is my top choice. The meal is never finished until you can no longer walk under your own power.
Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co - The most adventurous brewers around. Not everything they do pleases my pallet, but I give them props for pushing boundaries.
Fate Brewing Company - Try any of their IPAs or their candy bar milk stout. I also like their Irish nachos.
SunUp Brewing Co - The only place around that always has at least on cask ale.
HAZELROCK Coffee + Sweets - Super new coffee house that offers flights of cold brew. By the time you're here, they might also have nitro-charged cold brew. Great traditional espresso drinks, too.
Maverick Coffee - Another new place that is putting the established coffee houses on notice. Try a piccolo or a flat white. It's owned by Australians, and people who have been to Australia will definitely notice a hint of Aussie coffee culture here.
Bei Sushi, Bar, Asian Cuisine - This is where I go when I want sushi.
Honorable mentions to Craft 64, O.H.S.O. Eatery + nanoBrewery and Los Sombreros South.

For great comfort food and casual atmosphere, Try The Vig Uptown. Food you recognize but done just a bit differently. My son works there, and the service has always been great no matter the location. I frequent the one at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, the one on Fillmore in downtown Phoenix, and sometimes the one in Arcadia, especially breakfast.
