They have live music on Friday and Saturday nights, and every band we've seen has been fantastic. We also joined in on Musical BINGO, and my husband actually won! It was such a fun and lively experience. The bartenders are friendly, engaging, and made us feel right at home. They even recognized us on our second visit, which was such an unexpected and wonderful touch. The food is amazing, too. The hamburgers are terrific, and the drinks definitely hit the spot. You can sit at the bar, relax at a table inside where it is nice and cool, or enjoy the outdoor deck overlooking the sound stage. There is also a lower seating area for anyone who likes being closer to the music and all the action. The Den is also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus when you are traveling with your furry family member--just remember to keep them off the grass. During the band, children were playing on the lawn, families were relaxing, and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. The entire evening felt fun, welcoming, wholesome, and full of great energy. Between the music, food, drinks, friendly service, and beautiful outdoor setting, The Den has quickly become one of our favorite places in Pinetop. We highly recommend stopping by!

The only reason I went was to see friends play. The bar staff were great. The owner? Not so…read moremuch. She was so rude. Evidently she was the owner's sister but, the way she treated me and a few other people in line blew me away. She made a much older, disabled woman walk all the way back to her car to get her ID even though the woman was in the night before. When someone pointed out that she could look her name up on the guest list, the owner/sister(?) said, "that sounds like a YOU problem" ~ what?! You'd think they didn't rely on customers to keep their doors open. I drove 8.5 hours to go to Lions Den and see Pinetop. I doubt I'd come back that way. And, the Wine Burger? It's "OK" ~ it's a burger. I'm not sure what the big deal is.

We placed our food order and were told it would be right out because there were only two hamburgers ahead of it. We waited more than 20 minutes and were wondering what was happening. The cook, after chatting with the bar staff for awhile, stopped by our table and asked us if we'd ordered food. We said "yes" and we've been waiting quite awhile for it. He went back into the kitchen and our food was delivered shortly afterward. My wife had the tacos and she said they were very good. I had the Philly cheesesteak wrap with onion rings. The rings were very good. The wrap was just ok. I'd rate Bison Bar and Grill higher, but the service was poor overall.

The drink specials are a steal; the Margaritas were delicious and a great value for the size at just five dollars, and the Estrella Jalisco was a solid pick at only three dollars. Beyond the menu, the service was incredible. The staff was fast, well-mannered, and attentive. I want to give a special shout-out to our server, Max, who was friendly, efficient, and clearly a hard worker--he is a great addition to the team.

Our breakfast experience was fair and our dinner experience was good, 3 and 6 respectively on a 10 point scale. We also had dinner on Friday Nite Live when the food was very good(8). On both Music in the Pines experiences, the burgers were undercooked and cold . We had given them a second chance but probably will not order food at that event again. On ALL occasions, the staff was pretty rude and obviously not trained . Barclay himself was not at all helpful and deferred to servers who were not attentive. His manager was equally unfriendly and unhelpful. This restaurant needs a lot of attention to detail in respect to hospitality if it expects to make it. Right now it is somewhat of an embarrassment to Pinetop Lakes CC in our opinion. Overall just a fair rating.

Oh goodness.....where to start...... I like to start on a good note so let's start with the pros…read more Let me state that we stopped in to eat on Saturday night around 5:30 pm. It was not very busy. Pros: Nice presentation on the food and it tasted good. We ordered the Dirty Dozen (chicken wings) and Crab Cakes for appetizers. Our entrees consisted of hamburgers and fries for everyone on our party. Cons: I'm not even sure where to start. We chose to sit outside in the patio area as it was "choose your own seat". The outside seating area was not very well taken care of - tables not wiped off, chairs dirty/covered excessively in dust. We had a party of 3, waitress only provided 2 menus and then needed 1 back while we ordered because she was not familiar with food items. Menu was multiple pages and just loose instead of in folder and considering prices found this tacky. Waitress also immediately upon seating us let us know that she had just started and was just "thrown" in to job with little training and then provided us with a list of food items not available - there were several. Waitress also stated more than once that cook was upset and yelling at her because she kept asking for clarification of items not available. Upon receiving our entrees, we were "asked" to share our ketchup because they didn't have enough containers to serve all of us. I also ordered a mixed drink when we first arrived and was told they were out of some portion of the drink and I'm fairly sure it was the alcohol. The drink was supposed to be a salivated vodka mixed with lemonade and the drink tasted and looked purely like lemonade. I did ask and did not receive a clear answer but was charged for an alcoholic beverage. In addition, they are still using glasses from the previous business. Overall: Considering the price point I was not at all impressed. This location has the potential to be an amazing restaurant. I would love to say that I am going to give them another try but I'm not sure. Just not impressed at all.
