These restaurants in the Greater Phoenix area have been featured on the Food Network television show Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. These are all one-of-a kind eateries. Some of them might not look like anything special from the outside, but Guy Fieri found something tasty on the inside. They are listed here with the most recently televised first. Note: If they have since closed, they won't appear on this list.
If you are visiting the Phoenix area and want to try to visit as many of these restaurants as you can, I have mapped them for you. Have fun!
