   Sorry to see this place close. It was a classic for sports fans. Can’t recommend as it is history now.

   Technically it should be no because they closed yesterday! Very sad to see them go - have been here many times and the food is fantastic. Best ribs in the valley. I wish they would re-open!

   Went to Don and Charlie’s the night before they shuttered the doors for the final time. Food was amazing and the service was too. Depressed to be losing such a great restaurant.

   This was a farewell visit as the current incarnation of Don & Charlie's is closing April 10th. Thanks for many great evenings, Don. Enjoy some time with friends and family. Here's hoping to enjoy the chopped liver, ribs, au gratin potatoes, and healthy pours of Johnnie Walker Black in the new digs before too long.

    Great legend. Sorry you are closing. Your treasure belongs to all of us. As a Chicago boy my memories go back as far as yours. I attended the 1945 World Series. Your staff was surpurb.

    Wish this restaurant was not closing. We have enjoyed many dinners here. Quality of food is consistently good which is appreciated in times where many businesses are cutting corners. Don and Charlie’s is an icon in our city.

    Service was excellent! Full rack of ribs, which are usually excellent, were a bit dry and very tough. Sorry to see them close as we would like to give them another chance to experience their normally excellent food. Hope to see them reopen soon.

    Sure, I'd recommend Don and Charlie's to a friend. But he/she better get there soon, because it's closing next week. Too bad: It was always a great place to bring out-of-towners, especially Chicagoans.

    We had to have dinner at Don & Charlie's one last time before it closed. We're so hoping it comes back some were. the food and ambiance are wonderful and we will miss all of the sports stuff. bottom line is that there was no way we could let the place close without one last meal and paying our respect to what has always been a great establishment. it will be very sadly missed.

    What a shame! After decades of feeding many hungry mouths of Scottsdale residents -- and legions of Cactus League baseball fans -- Don & Charlie's is closing. After doors close for the final time on April 10, 2019, the building is to be demolished and replaced by a new hotel (Scottsdale always needs a new hotel). Our "Last Supper" consisted of several Don & Charlie's favorites capped off by an excellent Gold Brick Sundae. We will miss the old place. But wait ... there is a rumor the Don might open up a new restaurant not too far from the Chicago Cubs' Cactus League ballpark.

    Gonna miss Don and Charlie’s, one of my favorite restaurants and a place I always eat at when I visit Phoenix. I had the ribs, Don’s way, for my final visit which were very good.

    We are disappointed that Don & Charlie’s is closing. We go each year when we come down to Arizona, bring driends with us, and enjoy the amazing atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. One friend this week said the end cut prime rib was thebest he had ever had. The charred rib-eye I had oozed amazing flavor from first to the last bite. Thanks to Don, his family, the chefs, waiters, and everyone for giving us many great memories.
