Mother’s Day 2022 Brunch And Dinner: Reserve Now In The Phoenix Area

PHOENIX, AZ — Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 8 is more than a week away, but if you want to celebrate your mom with a brunch or dinner out, reservations are sure to fill up quickly in the Valley, especially with masking and distancing restrictions nixed at most restaurants for the first Mother's Day since the start of the pandemic.

Local eateries that survived the pandemic could likely use some extra love to help keep their doors open. But some restaurants might be closed to allow employees to celebrate their own mothers or to be celebrated themselves. Here are several local options:

• Pubblico Italian Eatery, Scottsdale
• Farm and Craft, Scottsdale
• Francine, Scottsdale
• Beckett's Table, Phoenix
• Collins Small Batch Kitchen, Phoenix
• The Henry, Phoenix
• Alter Ego, Tempe (Special Mother's Day brunch deal)
• Terra Tempe Kitchen & Spirits, Tempe
