Excellent food and great service. Ask for David Campbell and he'll take good care of you. Highly recommend this home style restaurant.

Food was delicious and service was superb. Convenient to the freeway. We'll definitely return next time we're in Kingman, and have recommended to friends. read more

We stopped at this place for the first time and we do not regret stopping here. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional! I asked about Carolyn King and Jennifer was glad to share Carolyn's and her daughter Rhonda's story with us. This is a family owned establishment and has been for 30 years. Thank you Jennifer for being so kind to us. I will definitely be stopping by again. read more

Let me start by saying that our server & another server who sat us, as well as the cashier were incredibly friendly. I checked out this location based on the good reviews. Unfortunately, I think breakfast might be more their specialty, because it wasn't dinner. There were sooo many items to chose from it took us awhile to order. We decided on the club melt & a hamburger. Both were just meh. The burger was too dry, and the club melt just really didn't have any taste too it. The fries were also just meh. Based on our visit I can tell this is definitely a locals place, as everyone was greeted or said farewells by saying their names. So that was pretty cool. I loved the photos and map on the wall of Route 66. I loved the little "gift" shop if you can call it that. They had some kids books I had never heard of. I also loved that they had a little reading book with some humor in it at each table to keep you busy while you wait for your food. But I unfortunately, won't come back to this establishment if & when I visit or pass through Kingman. read more

Attached to a motel so wasn't expecting much. They have a beautiful salad bar with two homemade soups. Everything was fresh and clean and tasty. Definitely recommend read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it disappointed on several levels. We had a big day at the Canyon and was our last day and meal while in Kingman. Starting with the service we were seated quickly and our food came out quickly but it seemed our server was being pulled in many directions or was just inattentive. Our drinks were refilled once. I was tired of waiting so found the water pitcher on a shelf not far from our seats and filled our drinks myself. We waited and waited for our check as well. Food: ordered the zucchini sticks which were tasty. Tender zucchini with a nice crispy coating. For $3.95 chose to upgrade to salad bar(one trip allowed) and it had the standard fixings which were fresh . The bummer were our sandwiches. I ordered the Calico Melt. It contained roast beef that was dry and tough, turkey that was okay, and caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato on a parmesan crusted sourdough bread. I actually took the roast beef off in order to finish the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were tasty and cooked perfectly. Wife had the Scorpion, turkey, a avocado, jalapeños, grilled onions, jack cheese on a croissant ( could choose a ciabatta roll instead). I tasted and was okay but just didn't have any texture. Maybe if they added bacon?? So I really can't recommend this place as a must go to place. read more

Generous portions and great service especially from our waitress Maria. Highly recommended!

There biscuits are the best so nice and fluffy. My husband's omelette is so fluffy and hot nice to see calicos open again.

Never a disappointment! Great and friendly service every time! Seated right away. Sunday Buffet Brunch for $10.99 is welk worth it, and delicious Mimosas or Bloody Mary's at $1.99. You definately walk away satisfied and Happy! read more

Heading home from 2019 NFR and was so hungry, craving biscuits and gravy. Found this little treasure with decent reviews and thought we would give it a try. They did not disappoint. They had a breakfast buffet still going at about 1:00 in the afternoon with a salad buffet you could add on for a few dollars more. I tried the biscuits and gravy with bacon which were terrific (and I am a southern snob when it comes to my gravy). They also had breakfast burritos with ham and cheese inside that were great with a little of their home made salsa and cheese sauce on top. Another treat was their hot coconut french toast... Y. U. M. This we the perfect sweet ending to my breakfast. The staff was very friendly with a feeling of "you're eating at home" . The interior was older 1980-90's..which was perfect for this small town diner with a welcome home atmosphere. It looked like this was a place for local regulars and weary travelers as well. We would definitely stop here again! read more

Great food with a decent price! My fiancé and I were driving home and needed a pit stop for food, found this place online and decided to give it a try. Hostess greeted us and sat us down promptly. Drinks brought to us fast and food was served to us in a timely matter. The sweet potato fries were amazing! Not greasy and had a nice crunch on the outside with a soft warm inside. The Roadrunner was huge with very soft, delicious bread. Overall a great experience! BONUS: Bathrooms were clean! read more

We were driving from Zion National Park to LV for our flight home to MA, looking for a place to get some lunch. Yelp led us to this gem of a place, and I hope my review will cause others to get off the highway in Kingman if they're looking for great food, people and atmosphere (not to mention Route 66 souvenirs). I had a BLT that included avacado and sprouts, served on yummy toast. My husband and brother both had tuna melts that they loved. Our waitresses (there were several women working at the counter) were the best. We live in an old, formerly mill city in MA, with its share of local diners that serve up good food and ambiance in equal doses. If you like those kind of places, and you're driving Rt. 40 west from Flagstaff to NV, stop in Kingman and visit this restaurant! read more

.Okay folks we went on the road and found this gem!!! Heading to see my cousin in Arizona and needed breakfast. Yelped of course and found this place. It reminds me of a country kitchen. Real cute and home cooking. Waitresses probably been there a long time and know everyone. It's like it is stuck in the 50's. Normal table and chairs. No wow factor, but the service is top notch and food so good you think your mama was in the kitchen. I ordered the Arizona omelette, it had veggies and jalapeno bacon......WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! It didn't last long on my plate. I beat that omelette. So so so so GOOD! GREAT! FANTASTIC!!! OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Stop here when you get a chance. Your tummy will thank you. GREAT JOB CALICOS!!!! read more

The service was the best part of the meal. She was pleasant and wanted to treat the party of 8 with respect. The food was ok - and it's was a nice atmosphere for a stop over lunch. read more

Great parking for us wheelchair handicapped. Clean and nice décor inside with plenty of room to maneuver and sit at table. Very please with menu as I'm a vegetarian living with a carnivore so always looking to please both of us. Offer a soup and salad bar. We've been there several times now and sops were always good. We've had many of their dishes and liked them all. Service i great. The downside is that they aren't open for dinner. So must eat there before 3. We're hoping this changes in future. We've been told that the old Calicos will reopen but no one knows timeline. At least one is here to enjoy. Since it's off the beaten path it's nice to have a place for locals to go out to dine. If they had dinner hour I'd had given then the other star. read more

Very good food, lots of choices, great specials and everyone there is so friendly! We'll be regulars!!

Great food great service. Just like a family gathering. Some of the best biscuits and gravy I have had here in kingman.

Traveling through Kingman and stopped at Calicos for dinner as it was close to where we were staying the night. We were greeted and seated immediately. The menu had variety of choice but we were both wanting a salad after a diet of travel food for days. We found the soup salad choice to be for us. There were two soups- Italian chicken and rice. And cauliflower cheese- each of us tried one and found them to be very good. The salad bar was extensive with fixings. Easy to make a full meal and even dessert with pudding and bread pudding. I also had a prickly pear mimosa and hubby had a slice of lemon meringue pie. Both pleased with the food and service. If we were locals we would be regulars, but we will be back in our travels. As we left we looked for a minute at the cute gift shop items available for purchase. Done tastefully and available if desired. Cute for a little something from traveling if needed. read more

Thursday night special prime rib and all you can eat salad bar great service and great price looks like a diner tastes like gourmet

We have eaten several times here in the last 2 weeks. Their New York steak is so flavorful and tender I had it each time. The 2nd time it just as good as the first!I Their service is great too! read more

Had the Prime Rib. It was expensive and very fatty. The salad bar is no longer included with the entree, very disappointing.

Thank you Calico's for tasty first dinner in Arizona. We ordered NY Steak, Marinated Salmon and Cheese Burger for our daughter. Amazing! read more

What a great find! Just finished a day at the Grand Canyon and stopped in Kingman for the night. We always check yelp for good places to eat and this came up! We wondered about the age of the facility but we decided to give a try! The food was really good; our party got the New York strip, hot beef sandwich and beer battered cod... all were happy. The steak was fine for a non steak place... the beer was served in an iced glass, one of the coldest glasses of beer I've had. Debbie, our waitress was really friendly and good good care of us. Can't say we'll be back as we were passing through from out of town but if you're coming through, stop in... read more

I wish we had more family style restaurants around this place is awesome. In town visiting for work recommended by the locals had to check it out I was told they have awesome prime rib and to get its blackened cause it's fabulous with the Cajun butter served. So this is what I got and it did live up to its expectation great staff very courteous the steak was amazing had to seal the deal with a piece of their Passion fruit cheesecake. If they have The cheesecake in get a slice it will not disappoint it's like a slice of Hawaii in your mouth. Prices are excellent can't go wrong They also have the cute Route 66 décor. The ambience was good deftly I would come back to this place. read more

We've been at Calico's twice for dinner and once for breakfast. Service was professional and friendly, lovely at all. Food was really good and really well priced. Salads are fresh and with several options to choose from, hamburger was really good and steak well cooked and tender. Good selection of beers. Good kids menu. Great experience, strongly recommended. read more

Ive never given a 1 star review. I think a lot of people use Yelp to complain and are often too quick to judge without giving businesses a chance to fix the issues. That being said, as someone who worked in bars for many years and understands that the service you provide is just as important as the product you offer, I have to leave a 1 star review in hopes that anyone who is thinking of dining here reconsiders. The staff here are endangering the health and safety of their patrons by NOT WEARING MASKS. I am on a road trip and visited this business based on reviews alone, which were overall very good. I was absolutely shocked and disgusted to walk in to a FULL restaurant, with no social distancing and a male employee who seemed to be seating guests with NO MASK. The woman at the register had a mask hanging off of one ear, and behind her and the counter where the food came out of the kitchen were two MORE employees with masks over their ears and pushed below their chin. This is absolutely inexcusable and dangerous and if you are trying to stay safe and do your part to keep your fellow citizens safe, please do not put your health at risk and go to this restaurant. read more

My husband and I were on a day trip from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. Our GPS had us change our route in Kingman. We were extremely hungry and unexpectedly came upon Calico's. The service was gracious and welcoming. The food was delicious and generously portioned. We enjoyed our experience and the food so much that on our way back to Las Vegas we stopped for a delicious and filling dinner at Calico's. This was such a great find! read more

No on the Interstate-exit Beale Street if you're on I-40 or just go straight past I-40 if you are going south on US 93. The ambiance is early 1960s. I suspect many of the staff have been here since that time. We had breakfast here. Breakfast is a meal, that, in many ways is hard to screw up, although I've been to places that made herculean efforts to do so. Calico's is NOT one of these places. Everything about our breakfast was outstanding. The eggs were cooked to order, the breakfast potatoes were perfect, and the bacon...! My wife had eggs-in-a-basket, which she proclaimed were the best she'd had. If you are passing through, spend the extra minute to get off the interstate, and go where many, many of the locals do. This place is a hidden gem. Highly recommended. read more

It's great to have them back at old location and the food is still great and place looks great. The salad bar is well stocked and menu has a lot of choices. read more

We stopped by after fasting my wife got blueberry pancakes and Canadian bacon. She got two huge pancakes that she couldn't finish. Canadian bacon was just okay. I got biscuit and gravy two eggs and hash browns. Biscuit was home made and hot. Eggs were good and hash browns were crispy and not greasy. Only complaint was gravy not very hot! There was a hair on my plate and they quickly redid everything. Gravy still not hot second time! But first time there. I would recommend trying again. read more

I love Calico's and wish I got there more often. The salad bar filled with tasty items and when they have the New England Clam Chowder, my favorite! The décor isn't fancy but it's a great family place and on Sunday there is a delicious breakfast buffet that's inexpensive but great choices. Good food. read more

We'll never eat here again. Often stop here driving home from NM. A family was there and had what appeared to be a child having a tantrum. The mother informed them she had a disability and the rudeness of the staff was incredible.... To treat a family that way in the middle of a crisis.... Will never stop here again. read more

Stopped in for breakfast and it was fine. Service was friendly and prompt. The food came out quickly and it was as promised, but you won't walk out saying, "Wow! That was great!" The room, however, is very tired and worn. Not in a kitschy Route 66 way, but in a 1988 brass and hunter green, dirty carpet, duct tape patched pleather booth sort of way. read more

It takes a lot for me to take the time to write a negative review but I feel I owe it to people considering dining here. Let me start by saying the staff is friendly. That's where the rainbow ends. The rest of the experience was very bad for us. The place is rather large and has a lot of carpet. The carpet is disgusting and should be torn out and burned. The manager, Brandon, later acknowledged the carpet is fairly new and had worn out quickly and will be replaced. The men's bathroom smelled, too. As far as food, my wife ordered the petite New York Strip. I ordered the soup and salad bar. My daughter ordered the chicken sandwich. The only edible items were the sandwich and salad. My soup was cream of chicken. The chicken was very rubbery, and I spit the chicken into my napkin. It was that bad. But the worst part of the entire experience was the steak. It was ordered medium well. It came out almost raw. It was severely undercooked and bloody as if it came straight from the butcher. Absolutely disgusting and shameful. Even the waitress agreed. She said she would take it to the manager and they ended up not charging us for the steak, but quite honestly they should have comped the whole meal as we all lost our appetites after seeing the steak. I know the reviews on here are good, so maybe the cook had an off day. Sorry, Calico, you get 2 stars, 1 for kind service and 1 for the manager following up on this review. read more

Nice people work here, but I am pretty sure they hate my kids. My little ones are loud and we seem to get avoided for refills and such. Nice salad bar for a great price. A large variety of different food dishes are offered. Good pricing for what you receive and I would recommend almost anything on the menu. Cute gift shop and little ice cream bar up front. Wish I had more time to explore their options but I feel rushed and slightly unwelcome. read more

We love the ambience and highly recommend their famous prime rib which was mouth-watering. We love their salad bar selection of dressings, toppings, and offerings, plus two types of soups which we enjoyed. We tried their new Cajun chicken and Alfredo Fettuccine served with toasted garlic bread which was well-done. Our server Vivian was friendly and helpful, especially when one of us preferred our steak cooked a little further. This place also sells self-served sundaes with plenty of toppings to choose from! read more
