“It’s Your Money – Spend It In Chandler.”
American Vintage at Its Best. Looking for the best food in town, plus a cool vintage vibe? That’s exactly what you’ll get at American Way Market, a restaurant inside Merchant Square in Chandler, Arizona. Opened 4 years ago, a trip to American Way Market is like taking a step back in time and walking into a market from the 1950s.
American Way Market is the #1 restaurant on Trip Advisor!
Mouth-Watering selections. Locally-grown produce, locally-raised meats and dairy, and handmade bread made daily in-house—customers get all of that and more at American Way Market. There, food is made the right way, the “old-fashioned way”—because you can’t fake the taste of vintage fare.
Menu. House smoked meats on fresh homemade bread, paired with locally-grown produce. Taste the vintage flavor for yourself!
Bakery. Making old-world artisan bread and classic pastries by hand, from scratch—every day. In fact, customers will drive 3 hours just to pick up a dozen of American Way’s incredible cookies!
Online Catering. Whether you’re hosting relatives for the weekend or entertaining 500 guests at a reception, take a break from the kitchen and let American Way Market do the cooking for you. Their BBQ is always a hit!
Vintage Sodas. American Way Market is building a reputation for their huge selection of vintage and specialty bottled sodas. Currently, they have more than 150 crisp and refreshing flavors to choose from with plans to expand that list with 100 more! Come experience a new flavor, like Cicero Caramel Root Beer, Jackson Hole Orange, or Zuberfizz Vanilla Cream.
Arizona’s Best BBQ! Then there’s American Way Market’s BBQ. It’s not regional BBQ; it’s American BBQ—people from every state love it! It’s funny because people will say, “I’m from Texas. I know my BBQ, and this is great BBQ!” It’s the same with folks from Kansas City, Louisiana, the Carolinas, and all over the country. But no matter where you hail from, you’ll want return to American Way Market again and again for more of their delicious, mouth-watering BBQ!
Take a step back in time where reminiscing is okay and great homemade food IS the American Way!

A Classic, Vintage Ambiance. Much of American Way Market’s décor is vintage, bringing back a nostalgic vibe when life was simpler. There’s the 7-Up sign, now proudly displayed on their wall, that came from the old American Way Market—originally the first Safeway in Arizona, back in the 50s. There’s also the smoker from the original Bill Johnson’s Big Apple in downtown Mesa. From Idaho, there’s a beautiful 1949 Coca-Cola sign. In Tempe, American Way found a beautiful egg hatchery built of handmade brick. They bought those bricks and used them to build the walls of the café.
In Salt Lake, American Way found an antique soda chest from the 1950s and put it back to work. In Buckeye, they found a 50’s dance hall and re-purposed their booths for seating. For floor seating, they found 60-year-old dining chairs in an old California schoolhouse. American Way’s counters are re-purposed beautiful timber from an old pub in England. The barn doors are reclaimed old scaffolding planks. They also reused beautiful windows from an old house in Phoenix. Finally, they built the remainder of their walls with 100-year old timber from the Pacific North West. If American Way put this much thought into their ambiance, you can imagine the kind of attention they give to their food!
Come visit American Way Market to enjoy some house-smoked meats on fresh, handmade bread paired with locally grown produce. Sip on a soda pop out of the bottle, while you reminisce and enjoy the vintage life. After all, that is the…AMERICAN WAY!
