    diners in a diner
    John D.

    Sunday ride from Phoenix to Bagdad via Yarnell. Retro diner appealing from the road. Sat down pretty quick with a friendly wait staff. Chili cheese dog and a cup of water. Waited over 1 hour to get my food. It was okay, but what do you expect for a dog. No idea why it took so long. Didn't seem busy.

    A beautiful 50's diner that serves really good food. The staff are friendly and our food came fast. I had the veggie omelette and it was very nicely done. Portions are big! We flew our small airplanes into the local airport and the owners picked us up, very friendly people!

    Seated quickly, super friendly staff. Place was simple and clean....however, the wait. Over one hour (no exaggeration) for a patty melt. The food was hot and tasty,but, the place was not busy. It seems like they were getting a lot of to go orders while forgetting to serve those who were in the restaurant.

    Been open an hour and NO one has gotten their food :(

    Come here if you're ready to wait an hour for a small single Order of biscuits and gravy, just to be treated like an inconvenience when asking for a refill.

    On a whim, I took a scenic road trip from my home in Surprise, through Congress, Hillside and had…read morelunch in Bagdad. I was inclined to eat at a very popular diner in the Main Street, but chose CCB&G instead. It was up the road a little more than a mile but we'll worth avoiding the overcrowded diner At CCB&G, the dining room was closed but they were serving in the bar area. The bar was relatively quiet, despite having 2 tv's with sports channels on. A bartender and one server were in duty. (Both very pretty women BTW) The bartender was quick to take my order (only a root beer) & called over the waitress. The menu had a nice selection of typical sandwiches and burgers so I asked which sandwich was popular. She recommended the turkey melt, so I rolled the dice, taking her suggestion. Wow! What a great sandwich. Served on large, grilled Texas toast, it oozed with hot cheese and turkey. Yum. It also came with a choice of shoestring or seasoned fries. I chose the seasoned which were definitively right out of the fryer, piping hot and crispy, just how I like them. The waitress was highly attentive, checking back with me several times to see if I needed anything else or wanted a dessert. Being the aged chauvinist I am, I replied; "Dessert (?) heavens no. Just seeing you 2 pretty girls is plenty dessert for me." She chuckled and talked about my road trip and her background as a local Bagdagian. In all, my experience was great and will definitely be back on a future road trip. I don't know what the local diner is like, but they were now closed when I drove out of town, shortly after 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. So, IMO, that's another reason to to to Copper Country Bar & Grill.

    Amazing!!! I had the best wings I have had in years. I did the naked wings with habanero mango…read moresauce the texture and crispness of the wings were perfect. The atmosphere was cool and clean with a rustic vibe I really enjoyed. I also had the mushroom burger which was amazing as well. I will certainly make this a stop during my travels. Good luck local restaurants competing with these guys..Also had the 8oz Angus Sirloin which was a great choice the flavor was spot on and cooked just like my nephew ordered it.

    Coming back to The Clinkscale for a second time--after such an unforgettable honeymoon experience…read moreback in November--just confirmed what we already knew: this place is truly something special. Traveling back to Arizona, we knew we had to return, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. The filet mignon is simply out of this world--served sizzling in a cast iron skillet with clarified butter, it's incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It's the kind of dish you think about long after the meal is over. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff consistently go above and beyond, creating an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. And Michael, the manager, is exceptional--so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every guest feel taken care of. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers this level of quality and consistency twice, let alone make you want to keep coming back. Without a doubt, one of the greatest dining experiences in the USA. We'll absolutely be back again.

There was only one server, Josh, running the entire front of the house by himself. Apparently this is customary on Wednesdays. Before he could seat us, he had to clear off a table. Several tables were just in disarray and when people came in, this poor man had to scramble to clean something off. I went to the bathroom and one stall had absolutely no toilet paper or covers. And one dispenser had no soap. The bathroom was just yucky. When I came back, we still didn't have menus or drinks. When our food came, we asked for condiments that took too long that we ended up taking them from another table. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The cook gave me a stale biscuit that just ruined my meal. I couldn't eat it or ask for it to be remade because Josh was too busy to check in on us or refill our drinks. I told him when he came to pick up the plates. He apologized, but he didn't remove it from the check. I paid $10 for a meal I couldn't eat. We got a piece of pie and the taste was kind of weird...like it had been freezer burned and then defrosted. The whole experience was disappointing.

Couldn't come up with anything in my part of the country. Yarnell's slogan according to the sign: 'Where the Desert Breeze meets the Mountain Air.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarnell,_Arizona I'm from AZ, remember when I worked in Prescott, and traveled a few times on that job. One of the times was when I went to the SE part of Yavapai County to an obscure area maybe near Stanton (a ghost town), which was 5 miles down a narrow dirt road with some steep cliffs. Yarnell sits at about 4700' elevation (slightly lower than the mile high city of Prescott) and Stanton is at least 1000' less. So, it was a steep drive down & back up the hill. It had to have been in May 2007...wow 11 years ago. It was sunny & hot that late Spring day...maybe 90 F at Stanton...probably in the low 80's in Yarnell. On the way back to Prescott, I stopped for lunch at the Yarnell Family Diner. I was hungry, and there weren't many choices in Yarnell, a town of only 649 in 2010 census.

We ordered the bacon cheeseburger with regular fries (although there were many choices in fries - including sweet potatoes). We also ordered the open face roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes. The food was, hot, fresh and hommade, like eating in a family kitchen. The prices are very reasonable (average 9.00 for a good home cooked meal). Rather than eating fast food on a road trip, we suggest spending time in local cafe's and diners - to enhance your experience. Thank you to this lovely little diner.
