| - Traffic Jam Bistro (15688 N Pima Road, C#1, Scottsdale, AZ 85260) is very unassuming from the outside. Located in a strip mall right from the 101 expressway, one would never realize the home cooked finds that await your stomach.
Upon entering, you are surrounded by a most simple décor inside their establishment. A long counter is directly in front of you, tables with seats off to the side. Above their long counter, their interior decorations consist of a multiple lines of small matchbox cars lining the top frontage of their counter area. Unique and different, they certainly keep the spotlight on their food.
Sitting in the establishment where two local Scottsdale policemen, who were frequent customers. They gave us the tip to make sure to ring the bell for service, as many a time the owner is in the back preparing fresh ingredients for their dishes.
Traffic Jam's menu consists of breakfast specialties, along with sandwiches and soups for the lunchtime crowd.
We rang the bell and she immediately appeared to take our order. Friendly and courteous, she took our order. On this day I was in the mood for her Grilled Cheese sandwich ($2.99), along with a bowl of their homemade brown rice and vegetable soup ($1.99). The Grilled Cheese sandwich can be made to your liking, and includes a slice of pickle and bag of chips from their selection.
The Grilled Cheese was very cheesy, great for any cheese lover! The cheese was sandwiched between three slices of bread, which gave a little more to the sandwich. The whole wheat bread was of homemade variety, perfect portion for lunch. The brown rice soup with vegetables had an ample serving of brown rice and vegetables, seasoned just enough for a light soup.
For just under $5.99, one can eat a filling meal for a reasonable price. I challenge you to find another establishment in the area with such a great buy for lunch. Satisfying homemade sandwiches and soups, do not get stuck in the traffic, instead make a stop at Traffic Jam today.
