Server was really nice and welcoming. Hubby and I ordered coffee- cups did not match, which I loved. It gave the restaurant a more homey feel. Coffee was good, besides not getting a spoon to stir my coffee, that's okay. Coffee was great nonetheless. Breakfast was really good too. HashBrowns was cooked to perfection. Eggs were cooked well too and toast was delicious for sourdough, except I would have liked more butter, but that's okay too. This place is located right next door to a Mc Donald's- (Dick move on corporations) I suggest you give this place a try while driving through Quartzsite for breakfast. A local mom and pop shop that deserves support for a tasty meal. read more

I was so disappointed today and it pains me to write this review. But unlike other times, this visit will be our last. There was only one server, Josh, running the entire front of the house by himself. Apparently this is customary on Wednesdays. Before he could seat us, he had to clear off a table. Several tables were just in disarray and when people came in, this poor man had to scramble to clean something off. I went to the bathroom and one stall had absolutely no toilet paper or covers. And one dispenser had no soap. The bathroom was just yucky. When I came back, we still didn't have menus or drinks. When our food came, we asked for condiments that took too long that we ended up taking them from another table. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The cook gave me a stale biscuit that just ruined my meal. I couldn't eat it or ask for it to be remade because Josh was too busy to check in on us or refill our drinks. I told him when he came to pick up the plates. He apologized, but he didn't remove it from the check. I paid $10 for a meal I couldn't eat. We got a piece of pie and the taste was kind of weird...like it had been freezer burned and then defrosted. The whole experience was disappointing. read more

Spent the day walking around at Tyson Wells swap meet located at Quartzsite, AZ 85346. Pack plenty of water, snacks, and comfortable shoes. A lot of walking and dust. Great prices and beautiful views! Vendors were nice and had plenty of items to choose from. read more

This reminds me of home. I grew up with a family run diner down the street from me, and this place gave me all those same feels! Friendly people and good food for a great price. I recommend the twice baked potato hash with cheese, it was delicious! Definitely stopping to charge my car here again on my way to PHX. read more

Great experience. Slow morning at this local cafe. Waitress was friendly and made sure our cups were never empty. Food came out cooked as ordered. Portions were bigger than expected which is always a surprise and every bite was delicious. Ambiance was what you would expect for a place next to a truck stop read more

We stopped by Mountain Quail Cafe on the 1st Saturday of the New Year for breakfast, and it was a good choice. It was a busy morning, but not crowded at all--we found seating right away. Our waitress was super friendly and very accommodating. Coffee and breakfast came out quickly and everything was delicious--true country cooking that felt like we had eaten at someone's home. The cafe has cute décor that perfectly fits the character of Quartzite. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're traveling through Arizona. read more

Man I was so disappointed today with fish basket. I thought for sure it was gonna be great after our last experience here. Honestly, it looked really good but there was just no flavor, the fish was dry and the breading was hard to chew. Maybe just an off day for the cook because my French fries were also a bit undercooked. My husband ordered a turkey club sandwich and said it was really good. We had good friendly service! Hopefully next time on our drive through, I'll have a better experience. Not counting you out yet ;) read more

Excellent and prompt service and great for traveling families on a budget. The place has a lot of charm and also sells some cute memorabilia. Loved the hash browns and strawberry & cream pancakes. read more

Quail Mountain Café is one of those places you're glad you found. The food was excellent, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. You can tell they care about what they serve. The service was just as good as the food. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made you feel welcome from the moment you walked in. The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed, the kind of spot where you can sit, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to and one I'd recommend to anyone passing through or living nearby. read more

The town starts to get busy in the winter with all the snowbirds visiting. We came early for breakfast and were able to find a booth to sit at. I ordered my usual bacon and eggs.

Entered in and no one acknowledged me. I must have stood there for five minutes and no one even glanced at me, told me I'll be right there, offered me a seat, nothing. I have no idea how the food is, they didn't even offer me a seat. Oh well. If you come here, good luck being served. read more

Nov, 2025. There are limited dining options along I-10 westbound after you leave the Phoenix metro area, so we were eyeing the town of Quartzsite, AZ on our GPS for our lunch stop. We decided to try the Mountain Quail Cafe based on Yelp reviews. We drove through the town of Quartzsite, and found the restaurant in the middle of some RV parks. While we expected a hometown diner, we were surprised to find that most of the cars in the parking lot had out-of-state plates so many patrons were probably I-10 travelers like us. Food. My husband and I split our entrees. My husband ordered the Arizona Burger ($14.99), which was a 1/3 lb. Angus beef pattie, served on a nicely toasted bun and topped with two strips of Applewood smoked bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and mayo, and guacamole on the side. It was served with your choice of side; he chose the seasoned fries. We'd rate the burger 4.5/5 with a slight downrating because the burger was a bit dry and under-seasoned. The fries were served hot and tasty, though the only seasoning seemed to be salt. Nonetheless, 5/5. I ordered the Hot Meatloaf ($14.99), which was meatloaf served open-faced on thick Texas toast with mashed potatoes, and smothered with brown gravy. It was served with broccoli. We were not big fans of this entree (2/5). While the meatloaf was okay (3/5), and the mashed potatoes were excellent (5/5), the brown gravy that smothered the meat, potatoes, and toast was very salty and we weren't crazy about the taste (1/5). It overwhelmed the taste of the meatloaf and potatoes. The broccoli (1/5), which was delivered much later than the rest of the food, was over-boiled or over-steamed and was tasteless. My husband also ordered a coffee ($2.99), which the waiter topped off a few times. Service. Our waiter was attentive in spite of the fact that the restaurant was very busy. Ambiance. The restaurant has a diner feel, with daily specials and restaurant history rotating on some screens in the front. There is a dessert case with options such as red velvet cake, apple pie, and more. They looked appetizing but we didn't have any additional room for dessert after our large lunch. There's also a gift shop in the restaurant. One final point. We were impressed by the restaurant's commitment to helping its community. There was a box near the entrance where patrons could donate Christmas gifts for local children, and 10% of sales from the gift shop are donated. read more

A few turns off I-10, but worth the short detour, food was fresh and tasty, service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere made you feel at home. Skip the fast food stops and make your way here for a meal that is satisfying and delicious. It was breakfast for us, but menu items are available all day along with daily specials. read more

I've had a total of 4 Quail Burgers from both locations over two weeks. Each one was different from the other. My last one near closing time I asked no grilling of outside bun but the inside would be ok. It was done just the opposite. Specified NO lettuce; it had the largest chunk of lettuce I've ever seen on a burger. This one was served open faced , the other three were not. Siriachi sauce had a funny taste. It's a shame there's only about 5 sit down restaurants in town; these two quail mountains, snowbird cafe, silly Al's and outback pizza. Tough choice as to which is the best. They're all lacking. Quail mountain should take some pride in their restrooms instead of posting a sign to be careful, that the seat is loose, and looking at the paper, it looks like it's been that way a while?!! read more

Everything we experienced here was awesome! Helen was our delightful server! What a joy she is! Other servers checked in as they passed by with refills. This place is very clean and comfortable! Waffle Breakfast for an 8 yr old kiddo was a hit! A side of Hashbrowns rounded out his meal with OJ! Although I came here for pie... when I saw Green Chili Burger on the menu.... My heart was set on it! Served alongside delicious sweet potato fries this burger satisfied and delighted me! Hubby loved the chicken fried steak and polished off his entire breakfast while I was still piecing my burger back together! My burger simply had so much cheese and deliciousness from the very generous Roasted Green Chili the bun couldn't reign it all in adequately! What a Happy Foodie Hello to Quartzite! read more

My husband and I stopped at this charming little café in Quartzsite. Actually, at first we drove right by it-- I didn't expect to see a café that looks like it is part of a mobile home park! So we went around the block, and we are so glad we did. Marlene, our sserver was excellent. So kind and very efficient. Our breakfasts were delicious! My husband got the steak and eggs and they were great! I ordered the spicy chicken omelette and that was really good, too. Make sure you try the twice baked breakfast potatoes with cheese for an extra $.99. I took my first bite, and I couldn't believe the deliciousness! This is a hometown, small town, little town café. So comfortable and sweet with really good food. The customers next to us saw an army veteran order his breakfast and they paid for him. Sweet! I also love that there's a small gift shop attached! It was fun to browse while my breakfast was cooking. I also enjoyed that every mug is different and our plates were different-- kind of like eating breakfast at my grandma's house. And I really loved my grandma! read more

Stopped for lunch today (Friday) and got the fish fry and chicken fried steak dinner. The fish was delicious, fries perfectly done. Chicken fried steak with country gravy was good. Service was friendly and timely. Ambiance is what you'd expect for a small town diner - clean, not fancy. (I come from a small town so this isn't a knock). All in all a great stop for lunch. Lots of locals eating here which is a great sign, bathrooms clean and stocked. We'd come here again, maybe on our way back home! read more

Driving back to Ca and looking for a breakfast spot. Read the reviews and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. I ordered a special omelette with home fries and a side of gravy.

This place is a down home old fashioned local diner. Good size portions of hearty comfort food. The menu is full of breakfast lunch and dinner options. It's a modestly sized place and pretty popular.

This was the last time I will spend my money at this place. got a cheese burger and fries thinking how can that go wrong. it was one of the worst burgers I have ever had. It was so greasy and not in a good way, most likely due to the fact of how much mayo was on it and they griddle it (not just the inside part of the bun, and probably with mayo) the whole thing pretty much tasted like freezer burnt mayo. read more

I ordered food to go as I was traveling through. I had a grilled ham and cheese which came on Texas toast. It was tasty and well put together. I ordered coleslaw for my side. It was pretty good and house made. The girl at the cash register was very nice and polite. By the cash register, they have a cold case, full of homemade cakes and pies. I couldn't resist getting a piece of red velvet cake, which was delicious. The ambience of the restaurant is quaint and welcoming. I would definitely be a regular here if I lived in Quartzsite. The only complaint I have is that I ordered a cup of chili and I got a cup of vegetable beef soup. I was a little disappointed because I had asked for cheese and onions on the chili, which I was informed was homemade. The soup was ok. read more

GETTING HERE: Navigate here with your GPS. Yelp does have the correct address. Just note that it's located a bit off the highway so there's a few street turns. It's planted square in front of the Mountain Quail RV/Mobile home park. Parking area is a tad small, so be aware you might have to street park if it's as busy as it was when we were here. :-) REVIEW: Quartzsite is a town I wish I had more time to explore in! All thanks be to Yelp for showing us where to eat as always. Glad to have made the stop here during brunch-ish time. It's a small restaurant with a lot of regulars, and we (inadvertently) brought most of town or out of travelers with us when we stopped. The line was out the door! It took over 15 minutes to be seated. This place was packed! Great for them and great for small businesses. Makes me happy to see the restaurant so busy with happy customers. Thank you to the 2 waitresses too who managed it all easy breezy. They also hand their hands full. Quite literally! The sausage and eggs were really good. I was a tad nervous about the link sausages, it's always hit or miss for me. These were a definite hit! Hot, flavorful, not chewy in any way. The great link sausages I remember from my childhood. :) I fully recommend Mountain Quail Cafe! Hope you enjoy the vibe and homey feel as much as we did. Thank you! read more
