What a great little place. Found it here on Yelp and decided to try. I am glad we did. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. I had the chicken strips which I could tell were hand breaded. My son got the hot dog and it was massive and delicious. This is a great stop if you are in Benson. read more

My husband and I had a fantastic lunch at the Horse Shoe yesterday. Great food and wonderful, friendly service. The Chocolate Pie was the best ever. We go back again. read more

Had lunch here with my wife. The burger was fantastic, and my wife loved her fish basket. The cherry pie was over the top. Service was reminiscent of an era gone by, friendly staff that seemed to truly care. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful service! Great food! Give them a try! They could use another ladies' restroom!

I am currently at home with a takeout of a Ruben sandwich & fries. The order was ready when I got there to pick it up. the Staff is great and the food is the best. read more

Very neat classic cafe atmosphere and the service is great. If you have a sugar problem, blindfold yourself, so you don't see the homemade pies and cinnamon rolls as you walk in. read more

We went during lunch time. Parking was on the street and was ample. The staff were friendly however no guests or staff were wearing masks during covid 2021. We wore masks and got some "looks." The food was basic diner food. We ordered the reuben half sandwich with coleslaw and the quarter pound burger with brown mashed potatoes. Reuben sandwich was small and the burger seemed like a frozen burger. Coleslaw lacked traditional "coleslaw" sauce making it very dry. The mashed potatoes had a odd gritty texture with the brown sauce being slightly burnt. Overall not a terrible experience but wouldn't go back since it's very average food and a mostly white area. read more

My friend and I had done a road trip to Tombstone and we stopped here on the way back for lunch and it was so worth it! Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name) was just the best and was super attentive and we had a good conversation with her. For food we ordered the Reuben sandwich and the Chipotle sandwich and both were just excellent. We shared a piece of pie that was also amazing. read more

New management has done a great job. I stopped going to the Horseshoe because the food wasn't great and it didn't look clean. I've been going every Friday for fish fry for 5 weeks. Food is good, service is great and staff are very friendly. Thanks for bringing it back to life! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our way to Austin. We ordered an omelet, bacon, and French toast. Everything was very tasty, service was excellent, and the price was great. Plus, they have an excellent selection of pies, cinnamon rolls, pastries, and other yummy baked goods! Great western-themed restaurant! read more

Traveling through town and wanted to stop by this restaurant. I thought the breakfast was okay. We ordered the campfire scramble and country omelet. Both were okay. The omelet had a nice mix of ingredients and the portion was just right. It was just the flavor was nothing to say wow. I did think the service was great. Our order was taken quickly. I liked that even though I ordered a scramble, I was asked if I preferred my eggs cooked another way, our meal came out fast and our drinks were consistently filled. We even got drink cups to go after our meal. read more

Excellent breakfast!! Waitress was sweet and the food was just delish! Will be back for the pie!

I absolutely love this place. We stopped everytime either going or leaving BISBEE. Food is wonderful. My only sadness is the service. Just waited 20 minutes today to place my order. Have a feel that if I'm not a local, I'll get a bit of a snub. A couple of the younger waitresses are nice and a few of the older ladies are snobby. Asked for chicken & waffle one day. Said "we don't make that" No problem, may I order a waffle and a chicken fried chicken. " ummmm, I guess" Weird. She made sure knew throughout my meal that that combo is not on the menu together .... but both those items are on the menu and I'd like to order each. Please be nice to all customers. We make an effort to come and pay for yummy food, would like to feel like they cared. read more

Good food but the service is slow. In their defense they just changed ownership so we need to give them some time to get things right.

Took out of town guests there Saturday morning. The food was great, like usual, despite being slammed busy. We also got to meet one of the new owners, Rob (I think). We were excited to hear that they are working on getting back to their pre-covid hours. Like usual, Horseshoe did not disappoint. read more

the best breakfast place in benson honestly, the Belgian waffles was so good and the vibes in the restaurant is nice

we used to love going to this café. It was a Sunday destination. Whoever made the decision to no longer have it open on Sundays was not very savvy. I would think you're missing out on a ton of business because you're definitely missing out on mine. read more

Great diner, excellent chocolate pie. I had the baked potato soup and a club sandwich, salty af. I'm down, I asked for a salt lick for Christmas. I LOVE salt. So when I say something is salty, believe me, it's salty! 10/10 would definitely go here again. Don't go if salt intake is an issue for you. read more

We revisited the Horseshoe Cafe during a trip to Southern Arizona. This stop was for lunch. My wife and I ordered the same main item, the lunch sized Chicken Tenders. I ordered fries as a side, my wife had Cole Slaw. The meal arrived HOT temperature wise, which is great. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. We will return on our next trip. read more

Love the friendly staff, large portions, and great tasting food. Favorites include horseshoe burger, club sandwich, biscuits and gravy and the French dip sandwich! Highly recommend read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurant stops while passings through Benson.. The last two weeks I stopped in to get a Hamburger plate and Ice Tea.. On both occasions I sat at the same counter seat I sat at over the years.. After 15 minutes of waiting patiently and watching waitress's pass by time and time again without even asking if my order had been taken I went up to the counter to ask if I had done something wrong..letting them clearly know that this was the second time that this had happened in less then two weeks. They could only say that they were sorry but gave no real explanation on how this could have happened .. How a customer who was sitting at the counter could have been passed by at least 4 different working waitress's and not one could at least ask if everything was ok .. read more

Great breakfast. This restaurant has been around for many decades. The food was very good. The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly and efficient. Portions are plentiful. I look forward to returning to try other menu items. read more

Had lunch at the Horseshoe. I have heard from the locals that they have the best breakfast in Benson, Arizona. Too late for that so I had to settle for lunch. I ordered the chicken sandwich, cottage cheese and a side salad. The cottage cheese was awesome, the salads was delicious with tiny little strips of fried tortillas. The chicken sandwich was the best. It had spinach, bacon and a sweet honey mustard sauce. If you are traveling on I-10 and going thru Benson, Arizona this is the place to eat. read more

Since 1936! I love this place. Maybe because we are having such a nice journey along the old time Arizona towns. The food was hot! The service was great! And I love sausage! Look around you here and see all the funny l, nostalgic doo-dads. It's a treat! Worth a stop and we will definitely be back! read more

This place has American food. Very clean, popular, and welcoming. The food needed some salt but was better than I thought

This is a fun place to check out if you are in the area. If you are a fish fan they do a special on Fridays. All you can eat fish either grilled or fried for $10 plus coleslaw and fries. Nothing fancy, just good food. The servers are always so kind and the atmosphere is really laid back. read more

Wouldn't it be disappointing to travel all the way to rural Arizona just to end up in a gastropub? How silly it would be to visit the OK Corral or Kartchner Caverns and end up eating some kind of pickled something on a braised whatever served with a pork belly blah blah? On our trips to Wilcox or Bisbee from Tucson we always make it a point to stop at the Horsehoe Cafe. It's got the kind of charm that comes from a place that specializes in basic comfort food but also has a jar on the counter soliciting to help paint a mural on the restaurant wall. The Horseshoe is filled with regular customers who come for good food, pie, and community. There is no dish that I will say you need to get, they just do a good job with everything, and there is no once in a lifetime item, it's all the basics. If you are headed for a fun Southeastern Arizona weekend, why not do it in style and give the Horseshoe a try. read more

Breakfast was so good we came back. Unfortunately it was less than expected. While the hostess was a little more personable than the other one, she wore no smile. They tried to shoehorn us in a table when there were plenty of open tables. Our server, Catherine, was spotty in her service and our food, Monte Christo (should have raspberry topping, not packet jelly) and Horseshoe Club were only adequate. I would still HIGHLY recommend going here for breakfast. The chicken fried chicken is the best! read more

Must go place for me in Benson, great food and service. Breakfasts in particular...

My husband hadn't been here since HS. We had a good lunch. The onion rings were great and so much ranch for dipping.

What a great little place to eat. My group of AT&T business Associates ate here on a business retreat after visiting the Kartchner Caverns. Everything here was great! Everything was pre-planned. They pulled this off very well and had al of our food out to us rather quickly considering the group of us was rather large for a smaller diner like this. 26 of us came in to sit down at once. That is a very large group for a little place like this! They handled it like champs and there wasn't any missed food that I'm aware of! We were in and out in about an hour and had apps, entrees and desserts! The owner stopped by the table and asked us about of experience as well to make sure sure everything was great! Everything from the burger to the sandwiches were good and so was the extensive pie list! read more

Walked into restaurant, seated, drink orders taken by the hostess, then nothing...no drinks, no waitress, no other acknowledgement of any kind. We watched other people come in, greeted warmly, seated, orders taken and beverages delivered. The others all appeared to be local residents. We left after about 25 minutes. We asked the hostess 5 minutes before we left she rolled her eyes and walked off. 5 minutes later we left as well. There's a lot of history to this restaurant, unfortunately we didn't experience the food as it appears that they only care to serve local residents. read more

I was in Benson this Tuesday and had to make time to stop here. After hearing so many good things about it i had to see for myself. The place did not disappoint. Food was delicious and portions were enormous!!! I has the special and must say you cant beat 5.95 for a drink, two eggs, sausage or bacon and pancakes or french toast. My friend had the pancakes and they were big and fluffy. Staff was welcoming and polite. Will definitely go back read more

Stopped in for breakfast after a morning picking peaches at Apple Annie's. Typically I stick with what I know I enjoy for breakfast, however the 'special' had me curious. It was prime rib, 2 eggs, potatoes and toast for $13.99. I expected to get a small portion of PR with my eggs. Wrong! It was a regular cut and far more food than I could devour. It was tasty, the au jus was perfect and included a choice of creamy or reg horseradish. read more

Went out to see the Sandhill Cranes near Wilcox with my friend who drove and I wanted to pay him back with lunch. We were seated quickly and the hostess asked us if we wanted drinks and she brought us water and iced tea. A waitress took the order of the table next to us and checked on a table near us but never made eye contact with me (my menu was closed). A party of three came in and their order was taken. Sat there a few more minutes and nothing. Got up and left and let the hostess and another staff near the front door know that we were leaving as no one waited on us. I left a dollar for the iced tea. read more
