Everything from the dining area to the bathrooms and even the kitchen was noticeably clean, which I always appreciate. The menu has a wide variety of options at really reasonable prices, and I love that they offer weekly specials. Food-wise, everything we ordered was excellent. My son had the Cobb salad with added chicken, and the portion size was perfect for an athletic teen--very filling. I went with the steak and eggs with a side tortilla, and it did not disappoint. Make sure to order their salsa on the side--it's so good they honestly should bottle and sell it. We also tried a burger (which my son really enjoyed), plus a pecan waffle and a buttermilk pancake for the table. Both were outstanding, but that pecan waffle is something I'll definitely be ordering again. Overall, this is the kind of place you find yourself coming back to again and again. Safe to say--it's officially in our weekly rotation.

One of the best I have had! Service from Leslie was excellent, coffee cup was never empty. Definitely on my favorite list!

It is definitely worth the trip finding it. I stumbled across it and wow it blew me away. It is an old fashion diner with the friendliest people and the food was delicious. I googled restaurants in my area and this gem popped up. When I drive over I wasn't expecting much. I knew it had to be good since the parking lot was packed. And believe me you don't drive by here a normal route. You have to know it's back here. I loved the vibe in the place. Nothing too loud playing. People chatting away. A very friendly vibe. The waiter was super attentive and friendly. My brother was visiting from out of state and I just moved back to the area. I ordered the make your own omelette and it came with your choice potatoes and toast. The 3 egg omelette had ham, cheese, onions and peppers. They didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. And very flavorful. So you know they added some extra spices. I had the cheese hash potatoes and an English muffin. And my brother preferred the eggs and bacon and had hash browns. He ordered sourdough bread. He commented to the waiter that he would have liked the bread toasted a bit more but it was ok. The waiter went to take it and my brother said no no you don't have to make me new. This is fine for today. But you got it. They brought him another order of toast just the way he liked it. We both had coffee and when you usually have to get someone's attention for a refill, not here they were coming around with the pot in hand refilling everyone's cup. It was awesome. I'm telling you, you have to find your way here. I will definitely be back to try one of the lunch items. The menu was full of choices. The only downside is they close at 2pm. Wish they were open for dinner as I'm sure they would be packed. So hopefully you stop by for a meal!!! Yum yum

As the years progressed, we tried other local places but it was good to make our way back here. For the most part, I felt like the layout is fairly similar but noticed a decent amount of patio seating which would be nice in winter/spring. It was a pretty busy Saturday with every table taken, but they were bussing one so we were sat pretty quickly. Though the place was filled, the staff worked both efficiently with refilling coffee, getting food out, and just being incredibly personable. Still in awe that we had our food in less than 10 minutes from ordering! Might be the most efficient breakfast spot in the city. And our coffee was consistently replenished with them even asking if we wanted a one to go. What We Ordered: - Coffee: pretty good and love they have French vanilla creamer at the table. - Chicken Fried Steak, Two Eggs, Potatoes & Toast (special priced at $10.99): I went with the special and tried the cheesy hashbrown casserole. It was pretty good, but was a bit rich with the chicken fried steak. The Chicken fried steak was perfectly crispy and delicious. A very solid breakfast platter for only $10.99! - #2 Breakfast Plate (Two pancakes, two eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns): My dad was very pleased and glad they accommodated the crispy bacon request as he prefers that way. I'd definitely both return and recommend this location.

If you're looking for a true taste of Arizona history, character, and downright great food,…read moreDirtwater Springs is an absolute must-visit. Walking through the doors feels like stepping into an Old West ghost town saloon, complete with authentic antiques, historic relics, rustic wood floors, and enough character to keep you exploring long after you've finished your meal. The building and its legendary atmosphere have made it a local favorite for decades, and it's even gained a reputation among paranormal enthusiasts as one of Arizona's haunted destinations. Now let's talk about the food. The Bison Burger was one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and worth the trip all by itself. The menu is packed with hearty Southwestern and American favorites that fit the Old West setting perfectly. What really makes Dirtwater Springs special, though, is the people. The bartenders and servers bring just the right mix of sass, humor, and genuine hospitality. Expect some playful sarcasm, plenty of laughs, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Whether you're coming for the history, the ghost stories, the amazing burgers, or just a fun and unique Arizona experience, Dirtwater Springs delivers. Come hungry, stay awhile, and don't be surprised if you find yourself planning your next visit before you've even left the parking lot. Highly recommended!

The potato was so big I could not finish the soup and a container was offered by our waitress. Hubby had a bacon cheeseburger with fries. He liked the pickle on top of his bun. Thought it was a nice playful touch. Our waitress was attentive with drinks. What we didn't care for. The food took forever. A party of five seated after us was served before us. I understand when things go wrong or take longer. Please tell your diners why there is a hold up. I'd much prefer that than. Itching and watch people who arrived after us being served before us with similar dishes I might add. When in the area I may try again. The place has a cute country theme. However, I will probably try another establishment before I come back. If I could give 3.5 I would. They deserve that.

Im a server and im not the one to get on here and complain.. but I got a chicken avocado sandwich here and send it back after ONE BITE cause the chicken was 100% under cook cause it was still pink and hard to bite into.. I brought it back after one bite out of it. I even had my boyfriend take a look and said it was completely undercook just to make sure I wasn't wrong because I usually feel bad taking food back. I did end up getting something else to replace the one I returned cause I was a little bothered with the chicken to ask them remake it so I got something else. Well the server come back and says she can't take off my previous meal cause she doesn't have the power to take it off my bill (WHERE IS THE MANAGER OR THE PERSON IN CHARGE THAT CAN????) to so she didn't charge me for my one cocktail out of the two I got. Mind you the meal I order and returned was $14/$15 and my drink was $6/$7... Anyway I ended up asking for the check and was upset right away because I pretty much had to pay for both of the meals and it already had a $10.99 gratuity tip on it.... How is this okay? The server dropped off the check and didn't say ONE word ( LIKE, thank you, or I'm sorry for what happened) and walked away so quick, probably because she knew she already had her tip and didn't need to do much more like a bad and unprofessional server would do... They couldn't even remake my meal I returned since I pretty much was still gonna get charged for it so I can take it home or offer something else to take... I'm pretty upset, spent $60 and they couldn't even try to make thing better for my time there and the money I was spending there.. Let's just say my family and I will NOT be coming back. Very unsatisfied and will share this experience with others. Oh and when I went in to get another drink while waiting for my new meal to come out, I could hear the server telling the cook about my chicken sandwich and I could hear from the cook, "what the f***." As if she was insulted!!! Maybe if she saw my chicken she'd agree it was undercook and very pink! Thank you for ruining my Friday Afternoon lunch!! Unprofessional and disappointing.

The young man who dropped off our food had dirt under his nails. Maybe have servers wear gloves or wash their hands and have a cleaner environment when bringing out food. He was super super nice but said he was bringing everything out as it was done, so the food was brought out a plate at a time. First was my sides. The beans are more of a chili not your typical pinto beans. They were ok. The flour tortillas were wrapped in paper. They were extremely hard and were definitely it fresh and soft as you would expect. The steak fajitas them selves were ok. I added a picture. I guess ordering fajitas at a non Mexican place is the reason they were under whelming. My husband did enjoy his burger and fries. Our friends enjoyed their salads. The fajita salad was a salad and just the steak portion like my fajitas. I also ordered a prickly pear margarita. I couldn't finish it. The ingredients did not taste homemade. My friend ordered a house margarita and it was a little better. I would definitely stick to house margarita in the rocks with tajin rim. Adam was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.
