Mother's Day Brunch or Dinner - 2012

Celebrate Mom at Scottsdale and Phoenix Mother's Day Brunches

By , About.com Guide

In 2012 the date for Mother's Day is May 13. If you are looking for a restaurant in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area where you can celebrate that special woman in your life with a Mother's Day Brunch or Dinner, one of these restaurants will be happy to host you. Reservations are required at all these Mother's Day dining establishments. Some may require prepayment and have a cancellation fee for no-shows. Unless otherwise stated, tax and gratuity are not included in the mentioned prices.

Most of these brunches, but not all, are buffets. Some offer à la carte or a prix-fixe brunch.

More Mother's Day Brunch Tips:

  1. Some of these restaurants will honor Mom or Grandma with a flower or glass of champagne.
  2. Resort casual attire will be appropriate at most of these restaurants. If you intend to wear a tee shirt and shorts to a Mother's Day brunch, call first.
  3. Prices quoted for brunch may or may not include beverages.
Keep checking back -- I update this list up until a few days before Mother's Day. Special Mother's Day events and activities are listed here.
