Chicken stuffed poblano
Steven L.

We went in for lunch. Arrived a little after noon, it was almost full. They were quick to seat us and give chips and salsa and drinks. Placed our order after that. They refilled the chips and salsa and drinks. We ended up waiting about an hour for the food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I had the chicken stuffed poblano. It was delish. My coworker has shredded beef tacos and he said the beef has really good flavor and overall very good. We will be back!

Shrimp tacos

We came on a Sunday at 1 p.m. It was busy our wait for a table was about 15 minutes for the 4 of us. Looks like we came during the lunch and after church rush. The waitress was visi ly annoyed when the party behind us said there would be 8 of them. Her expression said it all. Our server was good, he was very busy so not as attentive. Our food tasted good but was cold by the time it got to us which was disappointing especially when the plate is $16. Also got the Pineapple infused Margaritas and it was strong which was pleasant. The prices were suprisingly in the higher side for the restaurant being in the middle of nowhere. The aesthetic was true to a Mexican style restaurant. I would come back but definitely on a weekday so we don't get the anxiety that the servers have of being rushed.

Taco Salad

Vegans stop here. Veganized the California Burrito & Taco Salad, was tasty and fresh. Beans no lard, yum. Salsa and chips were also super good and fresh. Service was great, friendly, and fast. Definitely loved the vibe here, good music playlist too. I would say ask for rice and both beans in the Taco Salad and extra beans in the burrito to bulk it up a bit. So happy we took the chance since there weren't many veggies reviews here and didn't take the easy route by stopping at Taco Bell.

Open 7 days, plenty of parking

Ask for Billy Fascinating spot, Everything you want in a small family owned Mexican operation. 5 star food and service for an incredible price

This was a very very pleasant surprise! I travel a lot for work and this showed up as being a part of the "salsa trail" contest winners so since my last experience in Safford for food was not good I decided to give this a try. It was really solid Mexican food! I had the green chili chimi and the person with me had tacos and we both finished out plates! I had mine smothered in enchilada sauce and it was amazing! The salsa was super flavorful. The place was quirky and fun and the menu is quite extensive. This will be a repeat place each time I have to go to Safford. Rice is good, refried beans were good, wishing I had got to try a margarita but I was "on the clock." So next time! They were packed for lunch but food still came out really quickly. This place looks bleh from the outside and is in a weird residential area but so worth it! Don't judge it by outside!

The food here is so bland. It's like no one knows how to season food properly. Their chips and salsa are the best I've had here in Safford.

After I was seated, I asked for my surf and she said no problem. Because not all restaurants are willing to serve half coffee and half hot cocoa. I ordered a French toast plate and it was just the right amount. Very nice service and the food was good. If I'm ever in this town of Saford, Arizona, I'll definitely eat here again. 8/9 outa 10.

The non-review review…read more.... Well, unfortunately, I only made it to the bathroom and I understand the restaurant is from 1966 and I love old things, however, this establishment was not a good fit for me. I happen to love old things; I love old Antiques, I love the old ways, I love old places , but when it comes to eating, I guess I'm a little on the picky side. Unfortunately, I didn't even make it to the booth or table because when I walked in, I walked right by a server who was sitting down at the counter which I was really excited about, I wanted to sit there because it reminded me of when my dad would take me out to the local Walgreens (or sandwich place) and we would get a little bite to eat and a sundae in a sundae glass!! Granted it is the lull of the day for a Saturday, but I was ignored and then I tried to get the attention of the guy behind the counter by walking straight past the server (whom I thought may have been off shift) but he also ignored me??? I'm not sure maybe he has a hearing impairment? I said, "excuse me " a couple of times and that's when the server Finally said she could help me. I have a sibling who is Deaf - I also know sign language so I'm not judging, I was just puzzled because I was completely ignored. It was very quiet by this time. The server who was sitting down on her phone maybe doing paperwork then turned to me to help. I asked if they were closed, thinking maybe I was too late since they were no hours posted on the door ? By this time, I had already driven over an hour or so to get here so a quick bathroom break was needed. I had seen another review that was positive online so I thought I would give it a try for a burger and some fries - pretty simple order. After going to the bathroom first and seeing the condition of the bathroom, I just decided it was not for me. I think I'm overly picky when it comes to restaurants, so I'm sure it's just me. For the first time, I decided not to take a chance and I'm seeking elsewhere to find a burger locally! I will say there were plenty of people that were here when I arrived, and they seemed happy, I just think I'm going to pass on this experience.

Immediately walking in, I like it. It's really big in here and it's quite cozy. If you ask me…read moreprobably a perfect place to watch sports. They have a huge screen TV at the back of the restaurant and a nice large bar, as well as the seating area. high tops as well as regular tables. This place is really big inside! Seems really perfect for a lot of people and all the staff seem happy. The server who took care of me as I walked inside was really nice. I didn't want to sit at the table that she chose and she gladly allowed me to sit wherever I wanted to. I'm not in a rush so I sat over towards the wall where I could see the TV screens. One of the things that I really like is they have condiments at each of the tables, which was convenient. I chose the fresh hand cut fries and I've been really wanting fresh zucchini, Amber assured me that it was Hand-battered and fresh so I'm hoping that that will be good. It's really comfortable in here and cool. Nice music, perfect volume. I'm so tempted to have a cocktail, but I'm not sure. The zucchini came out super fast and super hot! You can absolutely tell that they were just hand-battered and fresh. I like all the little crispies too. The zucchini is really hot and a very light breading. It's really hard nowadays to find like fresh fried zucchini. I really liked it! The ranch is good too! There's a whole vibe in here and it's really positive!! The staff was attentive to people walking in, it was really nice to see considering my experience 30 minutes prior. I like the amount of veggies on the burger,Lots of fries. I got a lunch special, it was a great deal with my drink included. Amber took care of me and she was very attentive, friendly and shared a little bit of history with me. Servers matter. She took great care of me! She informed me this building was a Golden Corral where the current owner worked in his youth, later buying the building and turning it into JDs Grill. This visit was a win, definitely giving it a thumbs up and I am excited to come back and try their bone-in Wings! They do have happy hour specials and I absolutely do recommend the fried zucchini! The outside Sitting area seems nice, but I think I'll wait until it cools down to visit out there! Overall, it was a nice experience and they may be doing something for the Justin Gaethje fight Celebration that will be coming up here this year! Stay tuned!

We ordered a combo appetizer, mostly breaded and fried, but I thought they were yummy. My favorites were the mushrooms and the cheese curds. Our meals came out shortly after we got the appetizer. Our server apologized for it, but I know she has no control over the kitchen. My shrimp meal was delicious. Six large shrimp, nicely seasoned. Their sides are all carb heavy, but the meals come with green beans, so they gave me double green beans instead of another side. My husband said his chicken tenders weren't very crispy. He also had a baked potato and the green beans. The restaurant had several tv's, including a large one on one end of the room. Tables were spaced apart.

The have a full bar, but if you're looking for good beers on tap, you can get options like Dargoon IPA, Blue Moon, and Orange Blossom. 16 oz will cost you $4 while a 25 oz will cost you $1 more. A flight of 4 samples will also cost you $5. They also serve moscow mules and other speciality cocktails. Single Jack has two menus, where a majority of the options are themed around mining. They have classic options like pasta, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. They also serve enchiladas, tacos, nachos, and some other classic bar foods. If you want something more substantial, there are steak options. When I went to this restaurant, we all ordered the Boss's Burger, which is a homemade beef patty with onions and jalapenos mixed in. It comes with classic toppings on the side, free cheese options, and 2 free extra sides. Any addition toppings will cost $1/topping. It then comes with either french fries or curly fries. I chose the Boss's Burger with pepper jack cheese, bacon and guacamole with curly fries. They give a substantial amount of curly fries with the burger and garlic aioli on the side. The patty was large, cooked well-done, and slightly dry. Service was a little slow, but there was only one waitress. If you have plenty of time and want to grab some beers and food with friends, this is a great option for you!
