I was totally scared to eat here because the reviews are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Literally. We came anyways Nice patio with heated lamps and DOG friendly. Got the prime rib sandwich and OMG sooooo good. We visit THE KEG chain a lot and we felt the prime rib was comparable. The French fries 10/10 the ranch is 9/10 I was not crazy at all with the brisket tacos just because it did not come with lots of meat, there could have been more on the taco. The chips with the creamed corn is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!! Dude I did not even want to eat here cause of the reviews, but I ended up super happy. I'll be back read more

This place was ok. Good drinks but the food was mid. The brisket wasn't has tender as I wish it would be. Had to chew it a lot longer than i should. But the place is a vibe for the area. The service was good and there was plenty of parking. read more

This is a very interesting place. Fun decorations and signs. Supposed to be all about the fried chicken. Well maybe we had too high of expectations. It was just okay. Got the family share. The chicken was dry and nothing special the cornbread was also dry. Tried using honey to make it more interesting. The tots were fine but hard to mess those up. I did like my fun drink. read more

Went for the famous fried chicken and was never more disappointed. Fried perfectly with absolutely ZERO flavor served with what tasted like instant mashed potatoes and canned brown gravy - service was subpar also as waited 10 minutes with another group for someone to see people at the door. Waitress came took order brought food and was never to be seen again and had to be flagged down to pay our bill so I could go home and eat something that tasted good. read more

The Horny Toad was close by so I grabbed some Fried Chicken to go. Phenomenal Fried Chicken. Would definitely return. The coleslaw was also delicious read more

Always good, no bad experience, love the fried chicken, the place has been their for many many years.

We used to frequent this location when we'd rented a VRBO in Cave Creek proper a few years ago; I still try to find it lately as well! Always great comfort food! read more

Honestly this was my 1st time here and it wasn't all that great, cool place though it would look like a cool hangout spot this being my birthday lunch well I couldn't have been more disappointed It should have tipped me off that it's a BBQ place and I didn't smell barbecue or if anything was being smoked.. well we got the meal for 2 so we got a little of everything, well like I said the non smell of something being smoked or BBQ was not in the air.. the brisket tastes like plastic the pulled pork was cold the ribs taste like day old left overs, serve was ok there was one girl a server who was annoying and loud, thinking it was cute but it wasn't, I've drove all the way from Tempe to try this spot out and it didn't live up to the hype read more

Came in from far far away on an Easter Day to meet up with some family , timing was pretty challenging to find a spot open but we came across the Horny Toad after 2 other attempts. As vegetarians we try to stick with what we know, to much surprise they had options for us and with having 20 minutes until the kitchen closes, they services us with kindness. The place has plenty of outdoor setting on its huge porch looking out into the town. They had live music that was amazing as well. There is a cute country western side bar, always open for happy hour. We decided to dine in to get out of the sun. I totally enjoyed the remarkable comments on the T-shirts and other items for sale. The inside was taken right out of a western movie scene. I server was fantastic. She was kind and helpful. The food portions are huge! Like Texas size. We got the nachos, veggie burger with slaw, and mushroom fajitas. The fajitas were seasoned perfectly. Only wished they came with a side of beans to add a bit of protein. The cocktails were sweet and cold. They never asked us to leave as we over stayed our welcome because we were having a nice conversation. We appreciated the hospitality on a holiday. read more

We went for the prime rib but they had just sold out. We got the chicken and it was ok. I don't believe this is the best food but have heard of the prime rib and do want to try. The chicken was ok but seemed a little dry in places and the flavor could have been enhanced with more bbq sauce. We finished with the strawberry shortcake which uses frozen strawberries so they are mushy. Also they use canned whipping cream. All of which seem of a lower quality for an otherwise simple dessert read more

The bartenders need to pay more attention to who needs drinks and make more of an effort

The Horny Toad in Creek Cave was recommended by a local friend for fried chicken and fish (cod) & chips. We ordered the whole fried chicken with mash potatoes. Came with 8 prices of chicken and they were freshly fried and moist. Not season well for my taste but my friends liked it. We also added home made sides of Honey Butter Corn bread and cheesy grits. All were delicious. We thought we were full but after talking to our sever, she strongly suggested their house made Strawberry Shortcake-OMG, the best I have had in a very long time. A must at this place if you come here. Creek Cave is a small and cute town so worth the drive from Scottsdale/Phoenix for a day trip along with a delicious meal. Will certainly come again when we're are back in Scottsdale and next time to try the cod fish and chips. read more

It was like a "sports bar vibe stuffed into a Texas Roadhouse restaurant, but no worries." From the dark inside with sunlight coming through the stained glass windows, I was reminded of roadhouse restaurants from years past ( minus the black-and-white tv's and the smoking indoors). But the vibe matched the food, which was delicious. Big portions with leftover take-home appeal...you knew what you were eating the following day. Even better, because then the food was allowed to marinate inside the fridge for a nominal eating experience! We ordered Nachos, fried zucchini, 1/2 pound brisket, cornbread, taco salad, you the drill. No disappoints here. Our server Satie was nice and kept our beverages full without asking for refills. While everything was served way warmer than lukewarm, the fried zucchini was downright steaming. Seating? We sat inside, while it was also available on the patio. A cool looking bar area as well as other rooms memorbila along the walls to look at. Worth it's weight in gold for a good dining experience! read more

Sadie and Camie were amazing! Very attentive and went above and beyond. Also make sure to try the loaded tots and pretzel bites

I have always enjoyed going to this long time Cave Creek restaurant. Fried chicken is good, that's my usual. It's getting a little pricey but most restaurants are. Give it a try! read more

I recently got takeout Fried Chicken , cre corn and coleslaw. Everything was good except for the corn , too spicy and was not expecting that . read more

Called ahead and got reservation for 7 of us - they said normally only allow reservations for 8 or more but they made an exception. Arrived on a Sunday at 1 pm and were seated in a corner booth. All wood booth, seating is tight for 7 and would be near impossible for 8. Hard straight up back. Glad i brought coat to sit on although it was a bit cool inside too. Old western style decor inside. A little crowded and noisy but since we were huddled in a tight booth, we had good conversations compared to other places. Seating outside with fair number of people but heaters didn't appear to be on - I would have been cold outside. Mostly picnic table seating outside; sitting next to road although fenced in. Some pups with patrons. Service good overall but fairly slow. Lilly had to go verify the special for the day. My burger came several minutes after other entries arrived - weird. I had the horny toad burger with fries - great fries! Burger had brisket with bacon too - it was fairly good. We also had onion rings as appetizer which were fairly good beer battered style. Others had the Cod and taco's, but the bday girl had liver an onions which she said were very good. Everyone liked the taco's and chips that came with them. The creamed corn was just ok, and coleslaw fairly good. No offer of little dessert for bday girl which was surprising given we told the waitress this and made reservation just for the occasion. Drinks were good overall. Beautiful drive to get there, but doubtful we will be back much. Value was ok for what we got but nothing tremendously special. read more

ordered the chicken fried steak came out very greasy with lots of breading and short on meat. Would not order again

Dessert is awesome!! Strawberry shortcake(unfortunately with frozen strawberries) is very good with excellent cake, also the apple crumble is awesome with large pieces of apple and perfect spices. We sat outside on the patio and watched the sunset.. service was good- a large party showed up just before us. read more

Food was so-so. Portion sized matched the price. I was excited for the "Fresh, Never Frozen" Fried Chicken. It was swimming in grease. And the Mashed potatoes had so much butter I was scares to eat them. Looked like that movie theater butter stuff. The ribs weren't bad at all. And my friend LOVED the Brownie Bread Pudding...said it was worth the vsist. Would I go back, probably not. Not cause the food was horrible, but because it's cave creak...a billionaire n miles from anywhere else. read more

I think The Horny Toad is more of a drinking spot, but we tried it for dinner one night after a long day of moving into our new house nearby. The place is super rustic and full of character but man, it was so dark we could barely read the menu! Our waitress was wonderful though, super attentive and friendly, no complaints there. But the food? That's where it fell flat for me. Almost everything is deep-fried, and probably deep-fried too long. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, but the bun was buttered and fried (like, extra crispy), and the coleslaw, which was basically swimming in mayo. Pretty gross. The rest of the table's food was just... meh. Fried and really pricey. Maybe I'll give it another shot for drinks on a date night, but as far as dinner goes, I'm definitely passing. read more

Great service and food! We had a large party but they did an excellent job with our group. Food was very good too!

The food was terrible and the service was glacially slow. Stay away from the onion rings. They are greasy and dried out. And the Cole slaw is a runny mess. This place used to have good food. Not anymore. We won't be back read more

This place must have gone down hill. We drove 50+ miles this past Friday for their fried cod fish. The menu on their website and the menu in the restaurant clearly list cod fish. Upon arriving and asking to take our order, the waiter advised us that they now only have pollack and no longer the cod. Their cornbread is sooo dry! What a waste of 100 miles roundtrip. Soo disappointed and I will never return. read more

Great food and service ! I recommend everyone to go at least once. You'll be tempted to go back for more.

Don't don't why the rating is so low on Yelp, much better on Google. This is a neat dive "biker" bar/pub. Nice attention to service and good food. Our margaritas were excellent and since was Lent, we all had the fish which was fresh, warm and perfectly fried. Good French fries and cool vibe. read more
