    On a road trip we stopped by a little hole in the wall, greasy spoon atmosphere, Mom and Pop authentic Mexican restaurant. The building is very old and small. Just a handful of tables available so be ready for close encounters. . The food was SO good!!!! The Navajo taco served on fry bread, which had a slight taste of sweetness and complemented the savory taco meat. The staff was very friendly and an accommodating to all visitors. It's worth driving off I-40 for a lovely meal. I'd go back for sure!!!

    We asked the clerk in one of the gift shops in Winslow for a restaurant recommendation for dinner. Ari suggested The Brown Mug Cafe. It's located a short couple of blocks east of the Standin' on the Corner park. The place was packed by locals on a Saturday night at 6 PM. A table had just opened - it was quickly cleared and we were seated within a minute of arriving. Drink orders were taken and we perused the menu that was surprisingly varied and long. We both opted for Mexican food. I'm here to tell you that we both agreed that it was some of the best Mexican food we've had anywhere. And the sopapillas (included with the meal) were light and fresh and a great way to end the experience. The restaurant has been there a while. It's not fancy, seats are well-worn and there are probably a dozen or so tables total. The servers worked hard, were attentive and friendly. Our meal cost $40 + tip - not bad for 2 meals, a beer and a glass of wine. Without the recommendation, we probably would have never stopped there. We knew when we walked in and saw the place packed with locals that we were in for a good meal. And we were not disappointed. I'm not sure when we will pass through Winslow again. But when/if we do, we will definitely visit The Brown Mug Cafe.

    Came across this gem on our drive from Payson to Winslow AZ. Small family owned cafe that appears to be there for years off Route 66. We shared the Navajo Taco as it was big with ground beef, beans and both red & green chile sauce. It isn't hot chile, but has a great flavor. Fry bread was soft & tender. So Good!! Servers were very friendly and answered all our menu questions. Ate our food as we were famished so no food pictures. I have menu pictures and establishment pictures. If you done Standing on the Corner in Winslow Az I highly recommend you stop in.

    Very authentic, when you walk in its seat yourself now don't be discouraged if it looks full there is seating in the back also. Tuesday's special is a very busy night! Service was good for it being very packed, the food was good that fry bread is on point we would eat here again!

    First time here and we're not from the area. We're passing through and my mom heard of this place from a relative. We sat ourselves in the early morning at 9 am. It was busy at the time on Thursday morning. We only saw one waitress. We placed our orders quickly! We got our drinks first. Our meal came soon. So overall, quick breakfast service. Pretty good. We got our food orders with the sopaipilla bread, which is a normal thing I noticed when I looked at the other guests' tables. However, the waitress forgot our chips and salsa, which is a thing they're know for, according to my relative. Again, it's our first time here . Waitress forgot my knife so I had to cut my huervo Rancheros with my fork. I didn't want to ask since it seemed she was pretty busy taking orders, clearing the tables and cleaning up. Again. I only saw one waitress and it was getting busier when we were almost done with our food. Afterwards, we stopped across the street to the nice La Posada hotel to see the art museum. Just make sure to ask the hotel staff where the museum is at.

    The Brown Mug is a local favorite and the food is wonderful. The service is friendly and helpful. The salsa is spicy and delicious. The rice was the best Mexican rice I have ever eaten. We were very happy with our experience here. The inside is nothing fancy, but the charm is that I felt like a local person, and I am sad I don't have a local eatery in my community where families chat and gather and it feels like home.

    We didn't eat anything but had a large coffee. The coffee was fresh and good. They have some different creams and sweetners. However, I drink mine black and hot. The service was outstanding. Our server, Ashley, was attentive and friendly. She told us the Brown Mug Cafe was opened in 1958 and is still owned by the granddaughter. The diner is old but clean and well kept. We enjoyed our time visiting the cafe. Thank you, Brown Mug and Ashley, for making it a memorable time. So if you stop by Winslow, Arizona, to stand on the corner by the flatbed Ford, then be sure to stop by the Brown Mug Cafe, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

    Breakfast was amazing! Can't wait to go back! Great spot in Winslow! Biscuits and gravy were so good! Chips and salsa with breakfast was very good too. My boyfriend added the sauce to the hash browns and loved it!

    I grew up in Winslow for 14 years and I had never come here to eat until this visit. It's super small, which I expected based off the outside appearance but they have seating in the back so don't be shocked to find no seats up front but ask about the back. Our waitress was super nice and checked up on us frequently. She also provided great feedback on dishes we were torn between and really helped us decide what was the best for us! I'm sad I never went here until now but I'll be sure to come back again!!

    My husband and I ate here five years ago, and there have been zero changes-same signs, great food, and efficient friendly service, plus not a single painting on the walls has changed. It is still filled with locals at lunchtime who appreciate reasonably priced, large, tasty meals. The only addition is curbside pickup, so onstreet parking in front is reserved. My three fish tacos came with large chunks of crispy fried fish and loaded with lettuce and crema. Check all three daily specials boards because each one listed different specials. My husband enjoyed the tacos plus cheese enchilada special along with a couple of Pacificas. Nothing fancy, just what you expect from a local favorite.

    The Brown Mug Cafe in Winslow is a throwback to days of old. This roadside Cafe sprang up like so many others on the side of Hwy66. Good food, served quickly with reasonable prices, and few frills. With the modern Interstate siphoning most traffic away from downtown Winslow, the Brown Mug has survived by becoming a locals favorite. We first ate here because it sits across the street from LA Posada. We've come back because the food is good, the prices are reasonable and the service quick and friendly. The Brown Mug is high on my list of reasons to get off the Interstate and slow down.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by everything from the gorgeous hotel and welcoming staff to the delicious food. I mean seriously... everything was so good! Our service was excellent. We ordered quite a bit of food and our server timed everything perfectly so no meals overlapped, giving us time to digest and enjoy our drinks between courses. A majority of their menu includes nuts, and I have a tree nut allergy. I was able to alter my orders a bit to accommodate my allergy but the level of care the staff provided to put my mind at ease, without me asking mind you, was truly what I would consider above and beyond service. My server made sure what I ordered was safe for me to eat by personally checking food labels as well as speaking with the head chef and then the manager came out to confirm that my orders were nut free AND the staff would be changing gloves to avoid any cross contamination. I mean, wow! After we finished eating, we went to the gift shop (which is a must visit!) and explored the hotel and got to see some truly unique and deeply thoughtful pieces of art by the incredibly talented, Tina Mion. Highly recommended for anyone interested in a unique dining experience and in a small town not too far from Flagstaff, if you're willing to make the drive!

The tacos were well seasoned and the red sauce was just spicy enough for me The chicken strips BIG and tasty. Nice crunch and moist and tender on the inside. Gravy was just right. Service was good. A little upset that they were vacuuming the window sills near us, but I'm sure that's not an everyday thing. Typical roadside diner experience. I would definitely eat here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal.

Older Diner style decorations inside. The guy serving was nice and checked on a few times. The cheese sticks were really good. The Quesadilla had a little too much cheese, but it was good. I also got the chicken fried steak dinner special- which was just okay. The mashed potatoes came out luke warm and the gravy seemed a little cooler than I expected. But the serving size was more than I could eat anyway. We wanted to try their many pies, but didn't have room to do so. It was a good experience, but not great. They do have a lot on the menu to try, so I do wonder what some other items may be like. So maybe another trip and we' ll try out some other food or the pies!
