Bold name. Serious craft.
Family-owned, chef-driven, and voted 2025 Best of the Valley by Phoenix Magazine. Here's how Culinary Gangster earned that name.
The food was good! I was happy with the sweet potato bowl and the gyro fries. It was enough that we shared it between two people and had leftovers. We could have shared with 3 people. Nevaeh and Noah were great!
Definitely a great burger spot. I got the jalapeño popper burger, cream cheese, slices Jalapeños, fried onion strings on a brioche bun. Fries were fresh and had great flavor, tasted like they were fried in beef talon but not 100%. Definitely will go back and check out their other menu items.
The street gyros were awesome. The best I've ever eaten. We will be coming back when we visit Scottsdale.
