Along with the new
Uberrito set to open this month in the Arcadia Gateway Shopping Center, in what has to be the most booming foodie corner in the state,
Doughbird and a new
Smashburger are nearing completion with a new
Hash Kitchen location as well as a
Zoe's Kitchen not far behind at the southwest corner of
Indian School Rd. & 44th St.
First, while no date is yet set for
Smashburger, it looks to be heading for a late March or April opening. This will put the Colorado-based burger shop's presence in Arizona to over 20 locations.
If you've never been to one,
check out a menu and
find a location close to you. While also offering chicken sandwiches, sides, and salads, Smashburger states, "Our smashed burgers are always made-to-order, never frozen, smashed and seared to perfection on our grill. Our menu is also kid-friendly, vegetarian-approved and topped off with frosty milkshakes."
Secondly,
Doughbird, another highly anticipated concept by Sam Fox focusing on pizza and chicken, will be opening on March 28th in the same center at
4385 E. Indian School Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85018. From Doughbird's website:
"Doughbird is the latest Sam Fox restaurant. The menu, created by Sam Fox and Chef Clint Woods, combines our two favorite styles of cuisine – pizza and rotisserie. It’s a friendly place to indulge in savory creations like crispy pastrami pizza with Gruyere cheese, or slow-roasted rotisserie chicken lightly brushed with house-made marinades like lemon rosemary herb or spicy Sriracha and soy. Signature comfort food sides like buttered sweet corn and cauliflower mash will leave you stuffed and satisfied. Visit Doughbird for a warm, inviting experience and break bread with the best people in your life."
You can find more details about Doughbird over at AZCentral.
Next, we have
Hash Kitchen. This will be Hash Kitchen's second restaurant as the breakfast spot first
opened in Scottsdale in 2015. The popular restaurant has an extensive menu which offers items like the Hash Monkey, Cannoli Donuts, Carnitas Hash, Oreo Cookie Pancakes, and Coconut & Almond Encrusted French Toast just to name a few. You can
check out the rest of the menu here. For now all we know is the location is coming soon with no firm opening date.
Finally,
Zoe's Kitchen, already with
5 locations in the valley, will also be coming to the burgeoning shopping center. The Mediterranean-style restaurant describes itself this way:
"...Nothing is fried and there are no microwaves! What you’ll find at Zoës Kitchen is Mediterranean-inspired food, where grilling is the predominate method of cooking along with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, olive oil and lean proteins; all while keeping our guests’ dietary concerns in mind-- with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options."
The
menu has a variety of options ranging from hummus and pitas to salads and kabobs. At this time an opening date is not known.
With
Creamistry having just opened here back in December, the southwest corner of
Indian School Rd. & 44th St. is about to go from no food to more food than you can shake a stick at in just a few short months.

"Because it is relatively close to the mountains, the restaurant will have lockers and a locker room for guests to change, get cleaned up and have lunch or dinner, she said."
