After the Hike: Local Favorites
Tortilla Flat
Have a Sioux City Sarsaparilla with local snake wrangler Tony Suttile.
Culver's
Nice place to relax with family and to grab a quick bite. Management is nice and the employees are super kind people. Also, you can't skip a concrete mixer!
260 Cafe
The waitress here is absolutely darling... Pumpkin Pecan pancakes are AMAZING...
Sal & Teresa's Mexican Restaurant
The best Mexican restaurant in town.
Beeline Cafe
If you are looking for a diner this is it. Great food, fresh salads, turkey, gravy mashed and cranberries. Yum. Not fancy. Just good.
Fargo's Steakhouse
Get the coconut crusted salmon and garlic mashed potatoes... Divine!
Alfonso's Mexican
The Alfonso's Burrito is literally 2-3 meals. Mmm
Native Grill & Wings - Payson
Always enjoy myself here. Very willing to make things right for you:-)
Pizza Factory
Breadsticks are awesome! Best pizza on town!
Jimmy John's
Gerardo's Firewood Cafe
Had the spaghetti and meat balls it was excellent
Crosswinds Restaurant - Home Of The Million Dollar View
Breakfast is awesome and worth the wait if it's crowded!
Crosswinds Restaurant
Great pancake sandwich !
Cafe Bink
Try for the outside patio...special view up to Black Mountain!
Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse
Perfect cowboy bar
Horny Toad
Touristy as all get out, but who cares? It's so much fun, and the BBQ is delicious! Parking can be a problem; luckily, the Cave Creek main drag is very pro-pedestrian, so you can park and walk.
