Another great meet up at Grotto Cafe in the Red Truck Plaza. Met my gals for lunch…read more Two of us arrived early. We went ahead and ordered. We were lucky to score an outdoor table. The orders were two half & half orders of chicken salad sandwiches and strawberry feta salad, an egg salad sandwich, a blueberry scone with iced coffee and a bagel with chicken apple sausage, eggs and cheese. Service is quick. Loved the bagel which is a breakfast meal that is served until noon. You really can't go wrong here with any order. We had a lively conversation. We stayed outside for 1-1/2 hours. Time flies around good company. Shared parking on site.

Just moved to Arizona on Valentine's Day and already found a little gem I know I'll keep coming…read moreback to I've been to Grotto Cafe twice now. The first time I stopped in for a glass of wine just to check it out -- they were about to close, but the staff was so kind and welcoming. I even saw a roadrunner on the patio, which honestly felt like the perfect Arizona welcome moment I went back yesterday after a 4-mile hike at Jewel of Cave Creek and had a turkey, avocado, and bacon sandwich with chips -- simple but absolutely delicious. Fresh, satisfying, and exactly what I needed after being out on the trails. Prices are very reasonable too. The vibe here is what makes it special. It's busy but relaxed, cozy but open, and you order at the counter which keeps everything easy and casual. They offer coffee, wine, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and more -- perfect for a quick bite or a chill afternoon. I especially love the setting surrounded by the little Cave Creek shops. It has such a peaceful, welcoming energy and is a great spot to sit outside, enjoy lunch, and soak in the Arizona sunshine. Whether you're hiking nearby or just exploring the area, this is a wonderful place to stop. I'll definitely be back

The work group chose this place two days in a row for lunch. The almost only thing I basically will…read morenot eat ever is a sub sandwich. I did order the wrap version and had two different types each day. I will say the wraps were both good but my only thing was that I didn't expect for them to be cooked and be so hot since I don't ever eat sub sandwiches and especially since it was super hot outside after already working physically for many hours before we ate lunch there. The one thing you should know though is that the server that you place the order with is very nice and the food was good and the other guys with me did love their own sub sandwiches and the chips. I did like the simple little pink lemonade drink and this place was not anything negative at all for sure.

Has JM's downsized their sandwiches? Could be. Their website says 7" but my latest sandwich sure…read morewas smaller. Especially when the heel portion had just lettuce and oil and vinegar. I hope this was just a mistake.

This is my 4th time here. Great outdoor seating, when it's not overly crowded or too hot…read more The food is great, the availability of menu items is disappointing. On a Friday morning they are out of menu items. We arrived at 10:40 and were not approached by a server until 11 am we were really disappointed because we wanted to order pancakes. My blue burger was great. My son enjoyed his breakfast bowl. My sister's BLT was short on bacon. My other sister ordered a seasonal fruit bowl... the strawberries were very bitter. I ordered the new seasonal tea; it was great. I wish our server would have had better follow up on our beverages. There are too many other restaurants in Cave Creek to settle for mediocre service and food.

Why the sad numbers? We go to the place once a week because the sandwiches rock…read more I go there weekly and get the Chicken Cholula. I go only with the chicken, green chilies, jalapeño ranch dressing and peppers. The rest I skipped. They slice the sandwich the right way, and man, it's damn good. People are very friendly. My wife always goes with the Southwest Chicken salad. She raves about it all the time. And she's a picky salad eater. Pricing is good, way lower than Baggins. Tastes better too.

Had lunch here today around 1:00pm. There were about four people in line in front of us, but the…read moreline was moving fairly quickly. There is just one line for ordering and then you seat yourself. They have a four or five tables inside and then some outside. It was a nice day so we sat outside. Hopefully they have umbrellas for the summer months. The gentleman that took our order was quite friendly and our sandwiches were out in under 10 minutes. They have a nice selection of meats, breads , and salads. We both chose the cranberry turkey sandwich and it was delicious. Mine was on fresh sourdough with a generous amount of turkey and fresh veggies. Two 6 inch sized sandwiches came to a little over $24. They do a surcharge if you use a credit card which I will avoid next time by using cash. I don't love this and wish businesses would just include it in the price of the food, however it is minimal. The service was very friendly and the quality of the food was worth the price.

I'm a huge fan of their tuna salad( you can find the recipe online and it's the BEST!). Actually the best part about Jimmy John's, and especially this location is the staff and the cleanliness. The place is absolutely spotless. The bathroom is impeccable. The floor in the dining area, the windows and all of the glass. Spotless! The staff is so friendly and nice. I don't know where the find these young people, but I hope they pay them well, because they are outstanding young people! Very good spot!

He also came up to my family's table and checked on us a couple of times and even brought us his wife's famous cake .

We will definitely be returning back because not only was the food amazing but also the service . Thank you all.

Definitely recommend! We'll be back for sure!…read more So if you held a gun to my head and asked me to criticize SOMETHING... i could only say the portions (although perfect for me) need a little boost if I brought my husband. SO DELICIOUS- you 'could' easily over do it because it was THAT good! Options for sauce on the side are self serve and I opted for the two tangy ones - my friend went with the savory/sweet one. Brisket was tender, moist with a beautiful pink smoke ring (not as visible in the photo- but perfect in the basket)! I was offered 2 sides with my brisket & jalapeño sausage - I chose the eloté corn & cornbread. Both delicious! My friend got the brisket sandwich- served up very promptly and nice & hot! Everyone behind the counter was friendly, efficient and personable. Exactly what you're looking for for a great lunch spot! Cute colorful cactus mural- cowboy vibes, but not overly tourist - just enough to treat "out-of-towners" and locals alike. Easy going and friendly- great vibes, super cute patio and the inside is nice too. The price is very reasonable and I think a great value for the family.

Stopped by Bull & Brew and ordered a hot matcha latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for…read more Smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. You can actually taste the matcha instead of it being drowned out by syrup. It had that clean, earthy flavor with a nice creamy finish. Temperature was perfect, and the texture was velvety with a good foam on top. It felt fresh and well made, not rushed. Great option if you're looking for something warm without going the coffee route. The atmosphere made it even better. Solid spot to get some work done, meet up with someone, or just sit and enjoy a quality drink. I'll definitely be ordering this again.
