    Cute coffee cups- huge like mugs
    Martha M.

    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.

    Steak and eggs, delicious!

    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.

    Middle of nowhere, fantastic service, fresh tasty food and very reasonable prices. It's a must to stop if you are traveling between CA and AZ.

    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. The hash browns came out delicious and everything tasted great! They have a new location in the main area of town that I'll have to check out next time I'm visiting my grandma!

    Loose toilet seat that only needs two bolts and nuts to make it secure. Don't do your customers like this?

    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?!!

    Arizona Burger, with Seasoned Fries. ($14.99/Nov, 2025)
    Laura S.

    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.

    Great food great service in a quaint little cafe. Breakfast was phenomenal! Chicken fried steak and eggs and French toast were perfect!

    The menu wit items served all day!
    Vicki C.

    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.

    Ruben sandwich, thousand island sauce on the side.
    Omar F.

    It's an all American classic dinner type of feel. Good food served by good people. Classic dinner menu such as steak and eggs, pancakes and sandwiches. I ordered a Ruben sandwich with fries and it tasted great. Our waitress was wonderful. Funny, charismatic and attentive. Good visit overall.

    The waffle and bacon were already gone... nice side of hashbrowns!
    Donna V.

    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!

    A reliable diner on your rides between LA and Phoenix. Of course we ate everything before I thought of taking a pix. Even in the dead of summer we chose a fish n chip basket. Kids breakfast. Pancakes are fantastic and we gobbled their fries. Helen is a fantastic senior waitress.

    St Patrick's Day Corned Beef & Cabbage Feast. Ice cream included!

Free parking is available everywhere in this small desert town. We arrived during the lunch hour but we were still able to order breakfast. We ordered a veggie omelet, sough dough bread, and French toast. The food is prepared outside in a small container and brought in by the waitress or cook. The food was pretty good and this order was enough to fill us both up. This is a popular restaurant so you might have to be patient and wait for your food.

Well here's the good and bad about our visit. The Good. We tried two of their burgers and they both were fantastic in flavor. We will be visiting again to try more of the menu. The Fries were crispy and fluffy inside. The Onion Rings were Excellent. Couldn't stop eating them. The staff were very friendly and the prices were very fair. There is seating inside and out. Now the Bad. The Burgers could be presented much nicer. Needs some improvement for sure. The Buns were not the nice Fluffy Buns shown in the adds. A bit smashed. Thats my only complaint The finale Burger Photo is from their Adds. A bit different than what we got. All in all the burgers were well worth going for. We Will Eat Here Again and They Also Serve Breakfasts.

    The pizza was just okay, but the service attitude was extremely bad I will never come again!…read moreHere's what happened: 1. The server seated us at a two-person table that was very wobbly. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but looking back, it felt intentional. 2. We arrived at 12:45 and ordered a medium-sized pizza and one Coke. After she brought the Coke and water, we waited until 1:20. I asked another server about our pizza, and she said she would let our server know. After another 8 minutes, our server came over, expressionless, placed the pizza on the stand, and walked away without saying a word. At that point, I thought maybe she was just busy, so I didn't think much of it. But when we finished eating, my husband went to the restroom, and I got up to pay. I was looking around for our server when I saw her walking straight toward me with the bill and a plastic takeout box. Without saying a word, she placed them on the table and left. It felt incredibly rude. Now I feel like she was inexplicably rude to us the entire time, and I suspect it might be racial discrimination. Either way, I will never go back to this place!
