Named after the owners, Robert and Robin Trick, this Tempe landmark serves up contemporary American inspired menu. A short walk from the light rail stop at Mill Avenue and 3rd Street, House of Tricks has been serving beautiful dishes to the Valley for over ten years.

Nestled in a cozy turn of the century bungalow just south of Mill Avenue, it’s impossible not to enjoy yourself while dining al fresco under outstretched branches in the front yard or at a romantic table for two inside the house. They serve up salads, soups and sandwiches fresh everyday during lunch, making it a perfect place to meet an old friend or chat with a client. Tricks also serves up a delightful happy hour to take the edge off a long day at the office, although, dinnertime is when the menu comes alive. Utilizing all of his culinary skills, you never know what Chef Kelly Fletcher has up his sleeve, but one this for sure, it is mouth-watering food!

The kitchen uses seasonally fresh ingredients, and only the best seafood and cuts of meat. The only tricky part of dinnertime will be deciding what to eat.

Be it relaxing in front of the outdoor fireplace with Mr. Right and a glass of wine from their award winning list, or enjoying a free meal with your visiting parents, House of Tricks is sure to impress even the toughest of critics. No fooling here.
