The best thing about Desert Ridge is the running of the promiscuous teens of low moral character every Friday and Saturday night. If you haven't seen 13 year olds dressed like they're gunning for sailors in port, this is your chance to see it, be disgusted, and send any daughters you might have away to boarding school.
There aren't any good restaurants here. It's a bunch of chain places that will give you food, but you would have been better off going elsewhere.
Theres some questionable art and other things, but it's pretty much for those teens I mentioned earlier. The huge stores are on the ends of the huge tracts of land slated for parking. Parking ramps? Not in Phoenix.
There is an In-N-Out and a Barnes and Noble in the complex. That's my positive closure to this review.
