Blueberry blonde
Amanda P.

I came in on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy both inside and out. There's a nice size outdoor seating area but we chose to sit inside at the bar. Our bartender was super friendly and helped us choose what to order since we were stuck between a couple very different items. We each had a blueberry blonde which we loved and shared some Brussels sprouts to start. Those were super delicious I loved the maple sweetness with the salty bacon and blue cheese yum! They brew their own root beer btw that is so dang good, it tastes like a root beer float in full soda form! Next we were torn between the pork tenderloin and the stroganoff but ultimately went with the tenderloin. That was a great choice for us. It wasn't a huge dish but perfect size for us to share and the taste was great. My sister loved the peach sauce on top. The pork was a tiny bit salty but with the sauce and potatoes together everything was perfect. We messaged our Dad who lives nearby and sent him a recommendation to come check this place out. I'd definitely come back next time we're in town, I still need to try the stroganoff!

The outdoor patio.

What a great restaurant. The tacos were amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful and our server, Dalton was great! Highly recommend!!!

The Italian sandwich was wonderful. I picked shoestring fries for the side.

We only learned recently that the special events room at the Buffalo Nickel Brewery & Grill was transformed into a dining room with an extension completed on the bar. We went with friends for an early Tuesday dinner, and it was simply fantastic. Wonderful service from Tabitha. The menu was excellent, and we understand that they plan to extend the product offering. They have a nice variety of sides that come with the entree. If you only drink Budweiser, then this is not your place. They brew on site some outstanding beers. My dark black beer was wonderful. Wine is not served by the glass, but in small bottles. We enjoyed it so much that we will be back for a dinner on this Saturday. One thing for sure is that they will be packed this summer, thus we will be making a lot of reservations in advance.

We been meaning to try this out and was pretty good. The ambiance of the place was nice, service was excellent and the food was much better than expected. We had the 3 slider appetizer with onion rings. OR were awesome. Worth the stop.

As with everything Buffalo Bill's related, the ambiance is fantastic. The old west vibe carries over from the restaurant. They too have a great patio outside the taproom. Great selection of beer and pub fare.

Sitting outside in the wonderful Show Low weather.

The mango habanero wings are good, ceviche was good, and drinks awesome. Sitting outside in this beautiful weather made it all great.

Pretty mid. The clam chowder was pretty good, but was not impressed with the other options, especially the Caesar. :(

The beer was excellent. The pretzel bites not so much. After reading several reviews, I'd recommend coming thirsty but not hungry.

Japanese Sakè (sah keh) made in the high country of northeastern Arizona by a Tōji/master Sakè…read morebrewer from Yokohama, Japan seems like a mirage in the dry, arid, high desert in an area known more for Navajo Native American culture than creation of East Asian libations. On the return trip to see the total solar eclipse in Dallas, I went on I-40 to visit various iconic Route 66 towns on the Mother Road, Holbrook being one of them. I called Arizona Sakè around 8am as I was approaching Holbrook to see if I could get an appointment and got a prompt text message saying that Arizona Sakè would be ready for me at my eta at 9:30am. Atsuo Sakurai (ah tsoo oh · Sah koo rah ee) is the mastermind behind Arizona Sakè who has created a rare type of Nama/unpasturized Sakè (sah keh) that still has active probiotic yeast left from the fermentation process as his chef d'oeuvre/masterpiece since it won best in class at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition and gold in the Tōkyō Sakè Competition 2018 for Sakè made outside of Japan. His technically well finished yet unorthodox Sakè definitely has unique flavours with roots in northern Arizona that will go well with American BBQ, steaks, game meats, hamburgers, hot dogs, and I would suspect Navajo cuisine. At the same time, I can see a pairing with red meat Sashimi like Hon Maguro & fatty cuts like Toro & Hamachi. Be ready to sample about 3 different Sakè: 1) Junmai Ginjo Class, Nama, "The Premium One": Nama means raw, uncooked in Japanese which in this case means unpasturized. That means that the Kōbo/yeast & Kōji/special mold, which help change starch into alcohol, are still active to help add more beneficial flora into the digestive system. Refrigeration is suggested to keep the Sakè fresh. Rich, smooth sweetness yet touch dry with bit of ripe pear & apple along with toasty, light nuttiness balanced by a bit of refreshing acidity. It's a pleasing, robust Sakè that will definitely pair well with American Barbecue or meaty, beefy hamburgers. 2) Navajo Tea Sakè I Googled Navajo Tea and learned that it is the desert plant known as greenthread. The greenthread stems in the bottle add an unmistakable high desert vibe to this Sakè. Faint cherry blossom, green plum. Sweet, smooth, earthy toastiness. I paired Taiwanese Lobster with heavy hoisin sauce, garlic, red chiles, and it went well. 3) Herbs & Bitters: Cinnamon, French thyme, musky, earthy, touch smoky, apple pear cider. Really went well with Carré d'Agneau/lamb chops marinated in rosemary, garlic, cracked black pepper. 4) Prickly Pear Sakè: Bright magenta colored!!! Smooth, fruity, may be the best for preprandial apéritif to whet the appetite before start of the meal. Or as a chilled sipping Sakè. Arizona Sakè's big, bold flavours may not always pair well with classic Japanese Èdo Maè Sushi nor Sashimi. But can handle California Sushi where mayonnaise, Sriracha garlicky chile sauce, and extra sweet "eel sauce" hold reign. Also, Japanese Tempura, Nimono/ soy sauce braised cooking would work well. Arizona Sakè's strength lies in being great with non-Japanese cuisines such as other Asian cuisines, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Italian, etc. Arizona Sakè is definitely worth a detour when in northeast Arizona. 5 stars for a unique Sakè experience found no where else in the Sakè universe. Btw, hope that you found Chateau Roumier, Sauternes, 2020 to be of interest for your sophisticated palate.

While on a road trip thru Holbrook, AZ we got to visit the space and with the master sake brewer…read morehimself and did a tasting of the sakes he creates. Apart from truly an "A winning Arizona craft sake" experience- meeting the brewer himself was pretty awesome. The sake he crafts is smooth and with unique flavors to represent the diversity of the state and its flora (Navajo Tea, Prickly Pear...). More cool info and bio of the master sake brewer featured in the Smithsonian magazine and NPR.
