Not sure…read morewhat it was called, but I had a double smash burger with grilled onions, fry sauce and double cheddar cheese. Asked for a side of house made raspberry jalapeno jelly. What a combo!

We had visited this location once before, about six months before our daughter was born, back when…read moreit was still called Sweetheart Cafe. When we learned that Sweetheart had closed and Monica's Cafe had taken over, we decided to make the drive while visiting Show Low from Gilbert during a forest vacation. The decor was modest, rustic, and charming, with a blend of Native American touches and old country western character. The walls were minimalist, but in a way that felt intentional. It did not need to try too hard. As a vegetarian, trying a new restaurant is always a bit of a gamble. You never know whether food is cooked in oil or lard, whether rice or soup has meat-based stock, or whether something that looks vegetarian has hidden meat worked into it somewhere. It can be a tricky line to walk. We drove about 30 minutes to Monica's Cafe hoping for a good meal, and this place absolutely did not disappoint. Honestly, I think the reason the place feels so simple is because they have clearly put their energy where it matters most: the food. I ordered the veggie omelet with added tomatoes, a side of hollandaise sauce, and a pancake on the side. It was surprisingly excellent. After nearly every bite, I kept thinking that the food from this small cafe should not be this good. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and far exceeded expectations. Next time we are in the area, we will absolutely be coming back. I definitely recommend Monica's Cafe to anyone looking for a great meal in Show Low.

Was excited to try this place with all the 5 star reviews…read more Unfortunately it fell short with us. The waffle was so tough I could hardly cut it with a knife. They used frozen blueberries which I don't like, hard to find the lemon curd, the amount was so small. Hubby had biscuits and gravy, the biscuit was hard and stale. Service was good, and food came out fast. Food was just mediocre. With so many choices for breakfast, probably won't be back.

We ordered at the counter and food was brought to our table. They brought fries for the kids meal instead of a fruit cup but quickly and graciously brought it out with a sincere apology. It was one of the best burgers I have had and all three types of fries were the perfect crispness and taste. Will definitely be recommending this anytime someone heads up to Show Low!

"Persnikkity's Food Offers a Lot: Hits the Hungry Spot"…read more Walking into Persnikkity in Show Low (which I have done many times from their old location to their new one), you immediately feel like you've stumbled onto something the town's been keeping to itself. The place has that lived-in charm where locals know each other's orders, and the staff treats you like you're part of the club from minute one. I've made the Asian chicken wrap and twisted beef Philly my reliable go-tos--they nail that balance of fresh and hearty that keeps pulling me back. The morning totchos are a brilliant mess of everything breakfast should be, the chicken and waffle hits that sweet-savory note without trying too hard, and even their bagel with salmon comes out like they actually care about it. The vanilla matcha bubble tea deserves its own mention because it tastes like someone put thought into it rather than just dumping powder into a cup. Service here makes the food taste even better--attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake. The vibe is casual enough that you can show up in whatever you're wearing, but the food quality makes it clear they're taking things seriously where it counts. It's the kind of spot where you find yourself coming back not just for one signature dish, but because the whole experience just works.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

He ordered medium rare and the filet was perfectly cooked. He liked it better than Charlie Clarks, which is another good restaurant in the White Mountain area. I ordered the Citrus Salmon with Jasmine rice, which also included a side - I chose asparagus which some restaurants tend to overcook but not a problem at the Stockyard. I thought the Jasmine rice was okay. The choices at the salad bar appealing and made for a yummy salad. The ambiance has changed from when it was once the Hungry Buffalo, so don't compare. You can arrive casual but the menu and establishment is more refined but not stuffy. (No chicken strips that I saw for the kiddies that I saw.) Outdoors was a live band and people dancing. My husband I will be returning for more good food. I noticed there were some bad reviews and we almost didn't give it try but were glad we did. We hope the community and tourists will give this restaurant a try. It's worth your support.

Heads up folks, they don't season the meat unless you all for it to be seasoned!…read moreThe owner/manager was beyond rude! Told us that if don't have the money to pay we should not have come in, and told us to just leave. We left money on the table to pay for the other 2 meals that were eaten. We don't have a problem paying for our food, we have a problem with unseasoned meat that is over priced and tough. ($48 for a filet mignon) The owner took our steaks away, after 1 bite on one of the steaks and offered to give us 25% off, didn't offer to remake them, just took them away. It used to be a nice place, but that was the worst experience we have ever had. I don't think we will be back after that horrifyingly awful manager/owner and her overly rude comment. On a positive note, the server was fantastic even though the manager tried to made her the bad guy!
