    Fellowship and burgers  after Ben Avery !!
    Pat A.

    Nothing like a good burger after the lake or some shooting at Ben Averys ! Wild Horse West has been a must after a day at lake Pleasant or maybe after a morning at Ben Averys !! It's been a landmark for over 50years .

    Wild Horse is exactly what I want when I'm looking for an authentic American road house that screams local character and does it with class! From the whitewashed southwest adobe style structure to the bison head mounts behind the bar, Wild Horse does great honor to a Sonoran Desert watering hole. Yes, it's a roadhouse menu, but there is something here for everyone from the meanest carnivore to the meekest herbivore. It's a place where road worn bikers, desert rats, and affluent boaties sit shoulder to shoulder sharing stories and adventures. This is a cash only place, which always means family joints where the food is filled with love. And these folks keep the price of food and drink as economical as possible. I'm always pleasantly surprised at the moderate bill. I believe the cheeseburger with a green chili, backed up with a cup of chili is a world class experience. I'm pretty sure the chili is classic Hormel in a can, while the burgers are hand crafted masterpieces. Add a pile of chopped onions and cheese to the chili and you get an American classic. The burgers are loaded with onion, lettuce, and pickles with peppeiccini peppers on the side. Served on a paper plate with a bag of Lays chips (no fries here) these burgers are uniquely awesome. (I'm seriously suspect of reviews in this thread that talk of fries and show hard plates. Something not right there.) Where else can you order a small bag of Fritos with chili and cheese poured in over the chips? Call it a Chilrito, and what's not to like about that!!! The dogs, especially the chili dog, do serious justice to that American classic!!! As do all the offerings on the menu. Cold beer and a full bar compliment the kitchen. Some days you just need bourbon with your burger. Other days genuine PBR from La Crosse Wisconsin fills the bill. You don't find a lot of PBR in this part of the country, and it's a lesser place fore the lack. I've always had great service here and never left with anything but a smile and satisfied appetite. You know you have been somewhere special when the long wall-length western bar starts at the kitchen and ends at a live bait shop for the Lake Pleasant fishing crowd! Places like Wild Horse are what truly make and keep America great.

    It may look a little run down, but don't let that fool you, the food is really good. The service is laid-back and kind of reminds me of Lenny's Burger. The bathroom was super cute, and just a heads up, there's some taxidermy behind the bar, so if that's not your thing, sitting closer to the door is a good option or sit on the patio (if it's open)

    Lunch w my daughter!!

    Great restaurant right on Lake Pleasant! My friend and I planed to do a sunset paddle so we stopped…read morehere before for some food. You have to pay the Lake Pleasant entrance fee and walk down a long flight of stairs on the dock to get to the grill so definitely plan to spend some time in the area. We were seated right away and after debating a few options, I ordered the crispy fish sandwich with a salad as my side. The food was ready pretty quickly. The salad was both bigger and better than I expected for a side salad. The fish sandwich also really delivered with a large piece of fish that was nicely lightly breaded. Of course the views here are beautiful and sitting outside is best to be able to stare out at the water and the mountains during your meal!

The burger was cooked perfectly for me. The onions and tomatoes were very fresh and good. The only thing was that there wasn't much seasoning on the patty so it was kind of bland. The french fries were good, flavorful. Could have been a little crispier. My boyfriend got the scorpion bay burger. He said it was really good but also lacked seasoning on the patty. He said the onion ring and bacon were nice and crispy. His tater tot's were salted and crispy which was great. The atmosphere was perfect for lunch on the water. It was extremely hot but they had plenty of fans and misters keep it cooler outside while eating.

We had a group of over 30 people, and they did a great job accommodating everyone. They had three long tables reserved for us in the back near the stage, which worked out perfectly for our team. We had two servers taking care of our large group, and they both did an excellent job. Since all of the families wanted separate checks, we ordered by our players' baseball numbers, which made it much easier for the servers and food runners to keep everything organized. Everyone at our table seemed happy with their meals. My son ordered from the kids' menu, which had plenty of options. My daughter had the Margherita pizza, my husband ordered the pulled pork pizza, and I chose the fish tacos with coleslaw and fries. The tacos plate comes with 3 tacos and 2 sides. They have a bunch of options. Another mom at our table ordered the fish and chips with coleslaw and a baked potato. A Dad at our table had the fried catfish and said it was great. While we waited for food, the kids had fun playing with the giant chess set and the arcade games. There was also a DJ playing country music, which gave the whole place a fun, laid-back vibe. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day at the lake. Very casual! Considering how busy they were and the size of our group, I was impressed with how smooth everything went. The food and drinks came out in a timely manner considering we had over 30 people in our group and the service was friendly.
