    Large & tasty breakfast portions in the $10-$15 range.
    Chris H.

    Large breakfast portions in the $10-$15 range. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my wife went with the Arizona omelette. Both were very cheesy with lots of eggs, and the guacamole tasted fresh. Overall, the food was surprisingly good for a hole in the wall Cafe in the middle of the desert-- Portions were generous, so you won't leave hungry. I'm giving it a high score for a greasy spoon café in the middle of the desert. Great bathroom, stop and electric chargers just outside in the parking lot. Lots of parking. The service was outstanding, great people in Quartzsite (much better than a fast food restaurants). They use Coca-Cola products and gave me three refills. No questions asked.. they take electronic payments. Quirky and fun atmosphere that fits the area. Clean facility & bathrooms. A slice of Americana on I 10.

    Hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli and cranberry sauce.

    We ate here under the old establishment several times last year and this was our first time since new ownership. The remodel came out very nice. They have a decent menu with moderate prices. Service was timely and efficient. I had the hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli and cranberry sauce. The place was nearly empty which was a surprise since I've never seen it that way. There was plenty of food on my plate but I only gave this 4 stars because it was exceedingly bland. Everything tasted as though no seasoning at all had been applied. And, oddly enough, my turkey tasted like chicken. My husband said his spicy smash burger and tater tots were extremely bland as well.

    Cheeseburger with tots.  Pretty tasty.

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.

    I was so disappointed today and it pains me to write this review. But unlike other times, this…read morevisit 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.

    ABSOLUTE MUST STOP BETWEEN CA & AZ VIA THE 10!…read more Daniel's Really Good Jerky isn't "Really Good Jerky"... it's REALLY GOOD JERKY! That's why it is in all caps! I've been a beef jerky connoisseur since I was like 5 years old (haha!), so I know GOOD jerky when I encounter it. The jerky here is overall AMAZING! In fact the array of jerky here and its taste probably rivals the jerky found at Baker's Alien Fresh Jerky in California. My go to jerky here at Daniel's are all the intentionally hot ones! - the Habanero Mango, the Carolina Reaper, and the XXX HOT. Out of the three, the XXX HOT is my absolute go to! It is hotter than anything I've ever tried and remains the King of Heat! This flavor of hot was formerly known as the Colon Cleanser about 4 - 5 years back. I like this one mainly for the taste... however, the taste behind the heat coupled with the hot-kick is addictive! Not to mention, the therapeutic properties of this jerky is medicinal. :D For you to figure out what flavors to pick up, you are offered samples to help you out. The staff here are all friendly and helpful. Please note that the jerky does taste a whole lot better out of a freshly opened bag. For example, the XXX HOT kicks harder out of a freshly opened bag than a sample. Moreover the establishment is clean, and well kept. Even more, there are a lot of other things to choose from here besides jerky. Other meat base jerkies are found here. Novelty-like sodas, candies, hot sauces and even Chocolate Rocks (which are AMAZING!) are found here too. There is something for everyone here to enjoy. I recommend this business, especially for those who love jerky. The price for bags have gone up and don't look like much in a vacuumed package, but the taste and quality IS THERE... Don't be a Misguiding Mario who just stopped to hit the baño. My 5 Star rating means I would go out of my way to come here.

There's plenty of room to maneuver your vehicle in and out of the pumps without having to wait for the unoccupied car at the pump to move! Inside is super clean especially the restrooms! And, the resteoom's decent sized so you won't have to wait there either. The staff are very friendly and quick at the registers. And as a bonus, they offer FREE coffee if you get fuel! How cool is that.

    **July 2026: Friday Afternoon Visits**…read more My friend and I stopped here on both the drive to and from Phoenix during our road trip, and it turned out to be a really convenient place to take a break. We needed a place to charge his Tesla, and Quartzsite had plenty of EV chargers. Terrible's was just a short walk from the chargers and made for an easy rest stop. The restrooms were clean and plentiful, which we really appreciated after being on the road. Since it's Quartzsite, there were also lots of rocks and gems for sale along with snacks and drinks, which gave it a fun local feel. The AC was blowing hard inside, which was especially nice considering how hot it was outside. Overall, this was a really good stop and a convenient place to recharge, both for us and the car.
