Saddle Bronc has a fantastic menu with so many delicious items to choose from, along with an impressive selection of beers on tap. You can really taste the quality and the family recipes behind each dish. I had the broasted chicken, and it came out piping hot, perfectly crispy, and incredibly juicy. I also can't say enough about the ranch beans and homemade coleslaw--they were absolutely delicious! My friends ordered the daily prime rib special and the chicken sandwich, and they loved their meals too. Overall, Saddle Bronc is everything you hope for in a small-town, family-owned restaurant. If you're looking for great comfort food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Staff is helpful and food options are plenty and delish. They are usually worth the cost. Be prepared to pay more than you might expect. Happy hours may exist here, just have not found that to be common or much of a deal. If money doesn't matter, the bar is a cool and comforting place to meet locals and visitors. You may just need to move to another seat to find people that like words like I do. That is true of most places though. Good place to stare at your phone instead of doing it at home. Just costs a lot more than the latter. Which J do instead of going here. Honest here, have no problems. But if you want an enjoyable experience there are other options in Fountain Hills worth a try.

The food is outstanding, the service is beyond perfection, and we are never disappointed. Never! And I don't use that word lightly. Sarah is always our server and she is incredible! I just can't say enough about her. We appreciate all she does. And the bus boys are always friendly and on top of your water, iced tea, and clearing the table after each phase of the meal. Our go two items are first the New York egg roll. You cannot go wrong. We've also had many of their soups, which come with fresh fried wontons, sweet-and-sour and mustard sauce. We enjoy a nose-running mix (lol) of these two items, but yours doesn't have to be. And if you like shrimp, these jumbo shrimp will not disappoint. Our go to is always the sweet and pungent shrimp. It's incredible. Lightly fried, we can't come here without ordering them. The next go-to is the beef chow fun. You can order it with any meat, but this is our favorite. The meat is so tender. I absolutely love this noodle dish! They also have low mein, which is also delicious, but the chow fun we have to order at every visit. Next is their dried green beans. Perfectly cooked and fried, just enough that they're still crispy. They are so flavorful! My other favorite is their chicken and black bean sauce. On this trip, we didn't order it, I ordered the shrimp with snow peas. Both are incredible. I think one of the most impressive parts of this establishment is that the owner and manager always comes to every table, at some point during your meal. From start to finish this place is just perfection. I've tried, on multiple occasions, to get them to open a place out in Verrado - Buckeye Arizona, which is where we live, but to no avail. But I will never give up!

The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had a great flavor. The broth in the wonton soup was clean, light, and delicious. My only disappointment was the wontons themselves. They were hallowed no filling, which isn't what I expected from wonton soup. Is that normal for this place or was it a mistake? (I'm not sure if that was a mistake or just how they prepare it, but it kept the meal from being excellent.) The packaging was also good everything arrived hot, secure, and nothing leaked or spilled. Overall I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10

However, not as flavorful as it used to be. Thai Basil chicken was really bland, and the sweet/sour and orange chk dishes for my folks had TOO MUCH breading. The only 'great' dish was the kung pao which WAS actually spicy and flavorful. It's super busy, prob. because it's the only nicer Chinese restaurant in the immediate 5 mile radius (no, I do not consider Pei Wei or Panda Express to be Chinese restaurants) and if you've only recently started going, you don't have their past awesome food to compare it to.
