Food was good for pub, easily can share as it's a lot for a serving portion. If you don't mind loud live music then the bar side of restaurant is for you, but if you want to be able to hear conversation at the table then you need to sit in restaurant side of the bar & grill. Very welcoming and friendly service. read more

Well, I had steak and eggs today. The steak was delicious. Didn't see it on the menu and I just said hey can I have some steak and eggs? my fault that I didn't look thorough enough but $38 for steak and eggs. It was good but it wasn't worth that much money. Service was good ambience is pretty cool but this isn't a steakhouse. They need to adjust that! The food server could emphasize that it was a $38 steak ended up being $42 read more

Stopped in on Sunday morning for breakfast. We hadn't been here before so don't have anything to compare it to from before. I had the California Eggs Benedict and it was delicious! I got the potato medley as my side and it was colored assorted potatoes. They were crunchy on outside and soft on inside. Not dried out like some places. They had a seasoning salt on outside which was good but just a bit too much for my personal taste. Server was very polite and quick to help us. Inside of the restaurant is clean and decorated in a diner cafe style. It was cute. We said we will for sure put this place on our rotation for breakfast spots in QC! read more

Anyone familiar with Queen Creek knows this small town has transformed into a beautiful town outside of the craziness of Phoenix. What was the former Queen Creek Cafe is now Badlands Bar and Grill. With a wide variety of food options, the fish and chips to breakfast was delicious! We had family in from out of town and we had dinner on Friday night because it was close to home. Our family enjoyed it so much we made reservations for Sunday brunch for the whole family. It was an absolute delightful experience. Even Joe, the manager came by on our first night to introduce himself and make sure we were being well taken care of. Badlands is anything but BAD! Hit up a local spot and support those smaller communities! read more

we were hesitant because of other reviews, but decided to come in tonight for dinner. Delicious, fresh food, and amazing service!!! Everything was really good, and cooked well. Big and plump shrimp in the cocktail, The wedge was really nicely sized, and we shared it. Really enjoyed the ribs and walleye fish. The broccoli was really tasty; a nice light combo of butter, lemon and salt!!! Dessert of the brownie came out warm and kinda toasted. The Restaurant itself id smaller, and Plain Jane, but clean looking. Our server Renee was super attentive, really friendly, and gave 100%!! Delicious and will be back!! read more

Badlands Bar & Grill - Italian sandwich - Salad Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

Wonderful bar pub, with a beautiful inside setting and a gorgeous bar. I really enjoyed the staff they were very friendly and attentive. My husband and I split the spartichoke dip which was a pleasant surprise. We both absolutely loved it and thought the crispy Brussel sprouts were a great addition. My husband had the wagyu burger for his entree and I had the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich for mine. Both really tasty, fries came with both and thought those were seasoned great and perfectly crisp. My husband and I keep talking about going back, it was a wonderful date night spot with really good food. Highly recommend! read more

They have a great menu here, and the food is off the chain good! The server was super friendly and spent time joking around with us as they weren't too busy. The inside has hard floors and they have lots of TV's here so I think when it's basketball or baseball season it might be kind of loud so I personally would probably do lunch before dinner here. read more

For a quick breakfast and lunch, it's not bad. A fairly wide assortment of food. Service was good. Ambiance is a little stark. Easy parking. I had the steak and eggs with a side salad. It was fine. read more

Breakfast, I ordered the coffee, tasted like fish water and sent it back and only went with the water. Ordered the eggs over easy. They were hard inside. Ordered the hashbrowns. Oh come on! They tasted so bad I couldn't eat them. At least the sour bread toast was decent. Left hungry. We will not be going back. The service was good and the place is cute inside. read more

Great place to get quality food. I've been here a few times and the service and food have been on point.

This is a nice local place with great service high-quality food and a wide variety on their menu. Other night we were very tired, but I wanted to go somewhere and grab something to eat, but not go far so we chose this destination because we had been wanting to stop by here anyway. The inside atmosphere was very vibrant. They were having a trivia night on one side so we sat on the dinner side. Our server Autumn was wonderful. She was very helpful and she was very attentive. There are a lot of things to choose from on the menu and this is a scratch kitchen, so everything is made to order which is always great to hearwe ordered quite a few different items. Everything was well prepared. Everything came out pretty fast. I would highly recommend you try to place for a great local place with great food and great service. It's always nice to have somewhere right in your immediate area. Great local spot for local families! Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Location 5/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Parking 5/5 Return Factor 4/5 read more

Ashley is very personable and the bar is very clean. Food was Michelin grade. Outstanding atmosphere.

Ashlee is amazing! Every time! Food is great too but Ashlee makes the experience the best.

Let's be honest, the food scene is oversaturated with gimmicks. Everything's "infused," the vibe often matters more than the food, and it's harder than ever to find a simple, satisfying comfort meal. That's why I'm so glad Badlands exists. The food is genuinely excellent, and Ashlee is amazing--friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and order the chilaquiles. Run (don't walk) to Badlands and ask for Ashlee. read more

We were excited to try out this new restaurant near our home. The food: Started with an app - the Spartichoke. Hands down the best and creamiest spinach artichoke dip I've had, and adding the roasted Brussels put it over the top. So much yum! I will be back for that. I was intrigued they had gyros, so I ordered the gyro pita. Delish tzatziki and a nice soft pita with nicely seasoned gyro meat. My hubby got the blackened chicken Alfredo that he enjoyed but mentioned it was more like a yummy Mac and cheesy. The service: took a minute to get seated, but once at our booth the waitress was friendly and attentive. Had several other staff members check in on us too. The restaurant: decor was nice, booth comfy, was super clean, and we enjoyed playing chive trivia they had going on the TV in the bar side. read more

The food and service was excellent. It is all made from scratch, even the pretzels ( which I haven't tried but saw it!) . I've eaten here a couple of times. Don't let the super casual atmosphere deter you. The crispy Brussels sprouts are amazing and you can change anything on the menu items. The meatloaf is excellent, grilled chicken on sourdough, yummy! This is definitely not a " bar" food place. There are 3 areas to sit. read more

I just had the best lunch at Badlands. Had the hot honey chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and everything was cooked to perfection. My kids had burgers that were also amazing and gobbled up quickly. Service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant was clean. I will definitely be returning. read more

Badlands Bar & Grill - Hot honey chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. "Sweet & Spicy" on the menu. - Salad Near Me - Queen Creek, Arizona

We wanted to give the new place a shot. The interior felt like we walked back into a cheap restaurant with stale white walls and minimal decor. We started with the cheese curds and they hit the spot with the Chipotle sauce. We opted to add a pretzel with cheese that ended up tasting like a bland loaf of bread and the waitress dumped the cheese sauce all over my son. My husband opted for the gyro that was slices as large as a steak and very dry. His fries were a slop mess of sauce, olives and where not editable. My chicken was dry and sides were tasteless. The manager did come over and apologize for the food and service, but we all went home hungry and will not plan to return. read more

This is such a hidden gem. Gave it a try and loved it and have been back 3 times since. The staff is so kind! We've tried different dishes every time and haven't been disappointed yet. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! PS-Joe thank you for always being so kind to mom! read more

I honestly do not know exactly what to think of Badlands. I liked it but wanted to like it a lot more. The vibe in the resturant/bar is just odd to me. It was more like a cafe than a bar and grill to me. The biggest complaint I had was the acoustics in there are really bad. The main (center) dining room was full and it was LOUD! And I'm a guy who has to turn the volumn up on most things I listen to. I don't know why this is because I'm not a builder or a designer. We went for dinner on a recommendation for the Walleye and being from the midwest (not a snowbird) Walleye is a favorite and hard to find out here. My fiance and I both ordered the 'Mom's Fish & Chips' which was tempura fried Walleye strips and french fries with cole slaw. The fries were decent, not fresh cut but still crispy and not oily. The coleslaw I found plesant as it was not saturated with too much slaw sauce. The Walleye was just ok though. The strips were small and there were only 3 and a half of them with the half one tasting more like chicken than fish. The tempura still had a decent crust on them but overall they were just ok. I am guessing (just guessing here) that they took full fillet's and made them into two strips. I have personally made fried Walleye before and a full fillet is much bigger that what was served. I'm also not sure what the point of serving the fish on the bed of lettuce was. Maybe that's just how it's served where the owner is from? Over all I don't think the plate was worth $24 (menu online shows that it's $22) even though Walleye is not easy to find in this state and it's not an expensive fish back east. The positives that I took from the expierence was the service was very good and the place was also very clean. But hey, these are just my opinions and I encourage you all to try for yourselves. A lot of people really like this resturant so maybe it's just me. Lol read more

Really wanted to like this place and had high hopes due to reviews. However, our group of 4 did not like any of the entrees we ordered. There are too many choices around to subject ourselves to bad food. Service was also really really slow. read more

We waited for the new restaurant opening faise to end to try this establishment. Now Badlands have been opened for a little bit, and it's not as busy as it was when it first opened. I had the sweet and spicy chicken wrap. The sandwich option sounded amazing with a brioche bun. However since we shared a giant pretzel, I had the wrap instead My wife had the twisted burger, and a side of potato soup. My wrap was great! A nice sweet taste with a little kick. A good crunch with plenty of meat. The burger was also good,the bacon was amazing, burger had a good taste. The only issue My wife had, she though there were a little to much ketchup. However, she would order again but just had the ketchup herself. She also loved the soup Now our biggest mistake we did was ordering the giant pretzel, and then trying to eat our meal. This pretzel was on point plus the beer cheese was awesome. The pretzel had a nice char to it that added a nice taste. Over all, we had an wonderful experience. The atmosphere was nice, with the music volume being perfect. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was good, service was decent, updated and clean. Not sure I would go back, but only because my meal (just mine) was over $30

Came here on a weekday evening for a hang night with my ladies. We ordered a bunch of drinks and apps and had a great time! My favorites were the Wings and the Dakota's Nachos. The chorizo was a nice spicy add, but nothing too crazy. Our server Autumn was personable and funny. She let our group really kick back and have a fun night! Will be back again! read more

We tried badlands for breakfast and had a great experience. The tried to two more times for breakfast and it was not consistent. So we thought we would try supper a couple of times and same experience. Sadly what I thought was a great neighborhood spot isn't. read more

Food was delicious and good portions. Service was quick and the atmosphere was fun. Went when the restaurant was pretty empty for my birthday, but it made the service and food that much better. No rush and amazing service read more

I have eaten here twice. The menu has a good number of choices and there was nothing wrong with the food I received. There was nothing really great about it, either. On my second visit my server seemed like she really wanted to be some other place. Some of my friends really love this place and you might, too. But, there are plenty of other places in town where I can get an average meal but with the added bonus of being served with a smile. read more

This is a very basic cafe. I will not be eager to return. Nothing wrong other than slow service, but it is just dull.

If you're anywhere near Queen Creek and not stopping by Badlands, you're doing life wrong. Walked in expecting a chill spot, left questioning every drink I've ever had before -- because Tory, the red-haired legend behind the bar, absolutely shut it down. She's not just pouring drinks, she's out here creating art. Hands down, the best cocktails I've ever had. No joke. Tory's energy, vibe, and skill behind the bar are next level. She deserves a raise, a crown, and maybe even the keys to this place. She's that good. The bar itself? Fire. TouchTunes for days . Atmosphere is chill but alive, exactly what you want from your local go-to. I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this one? It wrote itself. Tory, you rock. Badlands, you've got something real here read more

Food was good, pricing is good, service was good, it is a diner that decided to sell alcohol. Still a diner and just does not work as a bar.

Food is amazing! Staff is great. I love when they have live music going on inside. Great place for a drink or dinner with the family

We absolutely loved our waitress Gina. I had the taco salad and hubby had the salmon. We are kind of picky so I was surprised how good the food was. Shout out to the girl chef! We will be coming back. Ambiance is a little rustic but with time I'm sure they can spruce it up a tad read more

Great food and outstanding service! Our server, Renee, went above and beyond to make sure our group was well taken care of. I brought several friends that hadn't been to Badlands and everyone said they'll be back. My gyro and crispy brussels were to die for! read more
