For a neighborhood restaurant / bar, it is hard to beat Mac's. They serve really good food at a fair price. The people are nice and the atmosphere is comfortable.
I often visit for lunch, the burgers are hard to resist.
Some of their happy hour specials are hard to beat. Try the chicken quesadilla, I think it's a few bucks during HH and it is really good.
Weekend breakfasts, tasty dinners, fun beer tastings and a good place to watch a game are a few more reasons to visit Mac's.
A true gem in Tempe...
