Twice baked potato hash, with cheese and gravy.

Ashley R.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?!!

Daniel A.

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

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!

We were traveling to California from Phoenix. Stopped for gas and food in Quartzsite. Found Mountain Quail Cafe. It looked good. Well..... We were seated at a large table, there were only 2 of us. We were then informed by our server that they may be seating additional people at the table. Then we were told that because it is Easter Sunday they are only serving an Easter dinner. When we asked if they have a menu she stated NO just the Easter dinner, if you don't want it you can leave . Not very friendly. We left! read more

Good food and down home atmosphere in this popular Quartzite restaurant. Good food, reasonably priced. We went at breakfast time. Four stars because it's a cash-only establishment and some customers may not like the family seating (multiple parties at a single large table) they use when it gets crowded. This one is off of the main drag but is a better option than many in this small community. read more

If you're on the road, keep driving!!! Or go to the Loves gas station and get some of their food that sets in the rotisserie it'll be better quicker and the service will be far better doing it yourself! This is a dive. Tabasco bottle had no spout on it so it dumped all over my food and myself. I got to have a Tabasco sauce skillet. Waitress offered to have it made again but it wasn't good before the Tabasco mishap. Meat in the skillet was burnt. The only part that was edible was the eggs. Dr Pepper is watered down Again..... Keep driving!!! My husband ordered, an omelet which was nothing but scrambled eggs with the other ingredients. Biscuit was pieces extremely disappointed. This will be put on places not to stop on a road trip. read more

Wow! Looking back at my review 5 years ago I gave this little place a 5 star review. Today I once again am giving it a 5 star review. I have eaten here off and on for the last five years. When I went to write a review of this wonderful dinner spot in Quartzsite I had forgotten about ever doing a review here. I was wanting to do a review after just finishing up a great surf and turf dinner special. I really can't add much more to my first review other than to say you really should try this place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food is great and the service even better. Just remember to leave room for desert. read more

It was a good, solid diner meal. Eggs and hash browns, toast and juice. On the whole diner meals aren't exactly my favorite, they seem just a little dull. But the place was welcoming, the service was sweet and the meal was solid. Much better than the fast food dinner I'd had the night before. And for all the folks that look at the paintings and knick knacks and think those are mountain quail... They are not. Mountain Quail have different coloration and a tall, erect top knot. (That crazy group of feathers on their head). Valley quail, also known as California quail are more common and have a curved, almost paisley shaped top knot. OK, biology lesson over. I'll try to post some drawings that show the difference. Now you can say that you actually learned something on Yelp! read more

From home in Southern California to Prescott, we studied the map and decided we should stop in Quartzsite for lunch and we bookmarked this Cafe instead of other fast food restaurants. It was a good place to stop: Tables set up to 10 feet apart, the food was good, restroom was ultra clean and touch less payment with scan straight to Apple pay was a plus. With all the restaurants we have been during the trip, even the fancy ones, this is the only one that had the touch less payment. All restaurants should use the same system. We didn't give 5 stars because the lack of ambiance and the food was only good, not great. read more

Quartzite, AZ is known for having the last gas before California, rocks, and being a speed trap. I never knew there was even a town here. When driving to California last week we decided to go off the main drag and found the Mountain Trail Cafe. It got good reviews, and my fellow said he thought he'd been there as a child. We arrived around 11 am, and the place was PACKED! After 15 minutes we were seated. The portions were generous, hash browns were very good, and service was the way I remember pre-pandemic. I think I will return and maybe take some time to see the town next time. read more

Not too far off the main road is a lovely cafe with a sweet gal (I didn't catch her name) who welcomed and served us. The place was clean and spacious. (Restrooms too) Shared ham steak and eggs and it was huge and delicious. There's local artists work available for sale and cute quails everywhere. Menu had a nice selection in general. Fun little town to drive through and I love that this place is patriotic! We will definitely come here for our travel meals, especially during the summer.

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!

No that's inefficiency. It'll be another empty building in Quartzite it they don't make some changes 1 star for the servers four stars for the cook.

I made a "sandwich" with my bread, sauce, tritip and coleslaw!!! Yummers!! We kept commenting on how good and hot the fries are! After spending a hot day on the cool river, soon after lunch, we were excited to have this planned for dinner. We arrived 20 minutes before closing on a Saturday night and Michelle graciously seated us and fed us some fabulous food! She's a gem! We are so thankful for her kindness and patience, plus the great food didn't disappoint! We walked from Days Inn and appreciate how close by it is! If driving to eat there I noticed it has great parking! It's a very clean restaurant, yummy tasty hot dinner, great cold beer, and authentic kind staff! Thank you for the surprise one of a kind, "hole in the wall" special Blythe dining experience! Make sure to stop by coming or going, plan to eat here after spending a day on the river, or swing by to support some great people. Your full belly will be thankful you did! We feel great after eating at Rebel BBQ and appreciate the quality of the food. I'm very sensitive to non home-cooked meals and am grateful to not be suffering from usual eating out "bubble guts" ! Hahaha. Thanks again Michelle! Until next time!! Wooohooo for Rebel BBQ!!

Sadly once again I got burnt by bad BBQ and I regret even stepping foot into this place…read more I should have been forewarned about this place as soon as I got inside the restaurant. First off the place was empty and secondly none of the food looked inviting. The only reason I picked this place was based on the good reviews but I should have looked at the worst reviews first. This was just plain garbage and an insult to anyone believing they are selling authentic BBQ. The St Louis style ribs were dry and uneatable. Their garlic bread basically was a stale hot dog bun and the coleslaw was the only thing somewhat decent but bland. The only thing decent in this place was the service but that didn't save it!

Steaks and Cakes

Everything was tasty but I would make a few recommendations:…read more One is change the fake butter flavored spread or whatever it is that is used on the texas toast/sandwich bread - it cheapens the quality of your "homemade" food. Second, check the salad mix for rusty/brown/wilted bits - it totally killed the excitement I had to find your ranch dressing is yummy (i.e. not that cheap weird tangy crap many restaurants use) and my salad had ham bits but then it had like a 1/3 bad lettuce that I had to remove. Lasty, even though it's the end of the day and I know you are tired - front of the house customer service is equally as important to me as the quality of the food. It's imperative to be pleasant always and not make the customer feel like they are putting you out or burdening you - smile more at the very least - make me feel welcomed and want to back. Okay, sorry... one more - no one wants tomato slices as their only side veggie option - they were mealy, went straight in the trash, and that's just wasteful for your pocket and mine. There is no shortage of mixed veggies (frozen or canned) and I would be more than satisfied to have that as an option with real butter applied. That's just MHO - maybe the town likes tom slices and I'm way off... idk - I just didn't get it and I'm not a fan of that veggie option. Now the goods - prime rib was very flavorful (not quite med-rare as requested but the flavor made up for it), fish n chicken tenders was a good portion (though I don't think I was supposed to get 2 fish/2 chicken filets - it was still yummy along with the tarter sauce, and the salad with ham bits made me very happy... plus the ranch was quality (tasted like the good Ole hidden valley ranch dip packet w/sour cream which far exceeds that other bottled junk including the bottled version of its own, lol). Ambiance was fine for a diner but could benefit from a sprucing up to more match the feel of the outside of the building. A spring cleaning and a fresh slap of white paint to pick everything up inside. I like the little "gift shop" in the middle giving more privacy between tables. Overall, Steaks n Cakes is a much appreciated option in Blythe where a lot of quality dining options are lacking. Thanks y'all!

--- F O O D & D R I N K S --- We wanted something…read morehealthier before we hit the road so we were glad to come across this place for meals with salad/vegetables. FALAFEL "SANDWITCH". Not bad. The falafel was a little dry but it had some hummus to help pull it all together. It was the better choice between the two items we ordered. MEDINA'S GYRO BOWL. This was meant to be served as "gyro over rice, salad and fries."The cashier, who was also the cook, advised beforehand there wasn't any rice, so my husband asked for more meat instead. When we got the bowl, we only received gyro and salad and it looked exactly just like that--a gyro salad. The gyro was sometimes soft and somewhat moist and other bits were crispy and dry. We wish we could've had the fries along with it since we were missing rice as our carb but we weren't sure why it wasn't included. _______________________________________________________ --- S E R V I C E --- We rang the bell and the cashier/cook (entering from the entrance door) quickly rushed inside behind the counter to put on his apron. He seemed a little distracted as he received a phone call, but quickly put it down so we could order. While we were ordering, he may have been distracted again when his family came in. After 20 mins., we received our meals. He kindly set down our food and said "If you need anything else, feel free to let me know". 5 or 10 mins. later, he walked outside with a woman (coworker?). A customer came in not too long after, and the woman in red let the customer know the cashier/cook went on a quick store run. That's when I realized that our fries were missing. As much as we wanted to inquire and enjoy them with our meal, we had to forgo them and get back on the road. _______________________________________________________ --- A M B I A N C E -- This place is tucked on the side of a latin to-go restaurant which connects together alongside a gas station mart. It's definitely as it looks on the outside--just a small side of the building. The "restaurant" itself is only an ordering window that looks into the kitchen and variations of the menu on the wall. Pretty straight forward. We sat in the shared-seating dining area, quickly, ate our food and went on our way. _______________________________________________________

My…read morehusband and I both ordered the Thali sets with choice of two vegetarian entrees that come all you can eat with refills. You select two entrees and get unlimited refills of those two you selected. The food was delicious. We had to be a little bit confident/firm to get going on the refills of the entrees. Judging by the number of times the guy came and asked us if we want bread or rice refills, a less prepared diner might get the impression that the free refills only applied to the bread and rice. "Bread? Rice?" became the punchline of our trip. I loved the roti bread when it was really hot, especially the darker parts and the rajma was a big hit too. We got our roti vegan without butter and a plate that's vegan other than the yogurt (you can ask for no yogurt ) Some language barrier here, at least during our visit and I wouldn't recommend it for people with severe allergies. The pickle mix on the tables was pretty good but very loosely/ poorly covered which was a tad unappealing to us. Definitely a place I would stop at again though given how well spiced the food was and for the fun cultural experience of a roadside dhaba. Very convenient that it's open 24 hours too and located in an area with not many exciting options. The entree options vary some from day to day. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

On my day off, I was visiting the Main Trade Post store to see some of the selection of jewelry and crystals, and while there Jim who was working helped someone who accidentally walked into the jewelry store and said it's called Outback Pizza because, it's out back. He confirmed that the next day Outback would be having their karaoke from 3-8pm. Some friends and I decided we would check it out after work, and when we arrived around 5:30 the karaoke was indeed happening. It was a pretty decent sized crowd. There's a small dance floor, and the karaoke jockey on stage, the performer joins on the same stage as the KJ. We made our way in, there were several people in the karaoke area eating their pizzas, and the other room has the walk up bar along with more tables and booths as well as tvs that were playing sports. The pricing here is pretty reasonable for the drinks, beer on tap for $5 as well as $6 mixed drinks if you're in the mood to partake. We were there to experience the karaoke, and we ended up having a blast! The KJ Sonny is well known in town, he runs Country Gentlemen Entertainment and KJ's at a few venues in Quartzite. There is a sign up book where you can write your request, and he made sure everyone got a chance on the rotation. At the end of the night he played some songs so we could dance and we left around 9pm and quite a time was had! We made friends with many of the locals and everyone agreed it was such a great time. I enjoyed the small town feel and everyone was so friendly, including the other patrons. I will definitely come back when I'm in Quartzite again! See ya soon Outback Pizza.

I love Mountain Quail Cafe because of the staff and the food. A couple times we sat at one of the bigger tables, because all of the smaller ones were taken and shared with others that came in and that was fun, always great conversation. We made it to Friday's Fish Fry and it was delicious, not greasy at all and HUGE! This is our go-to place when we just want to sit, have coffee, and a good meal. Just love the small home town atmosphere in here. read more
