    Everything about this place is amazing. We are hoping to retire in tonto basin and I can't wait to be a regular here. The food, amazing, the beer omg so many choices and ice cold, the staff even more amazing! And they are dog friendly! I love this place!

    Loaded nachos!

    The Good: Inviting place with excellent customer service. Stopped in for a cold drink after seeing the Tonto Monument and this place did not disappoint. Had no plans to eat BUT decided on the nachos - oh my goodness - I have never had nachos with more toppings than chips! What a treat! Chips are made to order and really added to the gooey fresh toppings. Chowed down before I got a good pic! This place has a great atmosphere and is definitely worth a stop if you are traveling.

    My guy and I wanted something to eat and a beer. We had previously stopped at the restaurant near Roosevelt Lake, but it was closed due to no water...hmmm...anyway we were going to go to elsewhere when I spotted Punkin Center. He and I decided to go there since it was closer. We park, hop out of our vehicle and another customer hopped out of his vehicle and greeted us. We walk into the place and it's not fancy but it's filled with really cool things that catch your eye. We had noticed a small placard on the table to order food from the bartender. I approached the bar and we were given some menus. The bartender was extremely friendly. I went to the restroom as my guy ordered us some drinks. The restroom had cute little pictures as well as saucy ones. When I came back to the table I looked over the menu. Well most bars/ restaurants do not have a keto option and this one was no different so it limited what I could have. I ordered a burger with no bun, but of course it comes with fries and any substitution would be more. Not like they had anything keto friendly that I could substitute. But I just go with the flow. My guy ordered a burger as well as some chili. He wasn't too thrilled with the chili. He stated it was dry. He let the waitress know and she asked if he wanted more sauce on it which he said yes. He stated with the extra sauce it was good. The food was not too bad. It hit the spot. But I think they should invest in those little holders that hold the numbers and place those on the table. That way the cook doesn't have to search where the plates of food go. There is one pool table inside and a shuffle board table. Out on the patio there is a smoking area, a horseshoe pit and Cornhole boards.

    When you eat at the bar, you get this tray.  It made dad happy.
