We have eaten at Nate's several times but I get more disappointed with the service each time. The food is very good and it's such a shame that it just doesn't seem they have enough waiters or something because we always have to wait. Recently, even the bus boys didn't bring water or anything. We had menus from the hostess... More

Heard so much about this restaurant, had to give it a try. Not many in the place when we arrived, just after noon. No server for at least 15 min. after seating ourselves. Waiter joked they were busy, hah. Ordered a beer, arrived 10 min. later, ordered sandwiches, waited 25 min. Water joked, it was busy, hah.Food was evidently made... More

After reading some mixed reviews on Trip Advisor we thought it was worth a shot, Very cute and quaint with a clean and comfortable feel. The prime rib was very good and priced better than anyone close. Our server Leah was awesome. We will be back.

Saturday Night Smoked Prime Rib is the best ever. Juicy Steaks, Great service. Sedona is a nice place to visit. Cottonwood is a nice place to live & eat.

What can you say about a restaurant that has a full-size cutout of John Wayne standing there as you walk in the door. It just has to be good! Service might be a little slow, but with drinks in hand, who cares. Atmosphere at the place was "country casual". The waitress was very attentive to my gluten-free needs. The Cowboy... More

We have lived in Cottonwood a little over a year and frequent the restaurants in the local area often. However, Nate, the owner, has continued to improve his restaurant. He changes his menu time-to-time but always demands quality choices. Recently he added to his drawing card happy hour for week-day evenings, which is a good way to relax after a... More

My husband just purchased an extra meal to take for left overs he loved it so much. My kids had the mini pulled pork sandwiches and they described... More

We stopped here with our 3 grandchildren for lunch on our way to a train ride. A reasonable special at $6 was a cup of soup and a sandwich (half or whole depending on the sandwich ordered) which my husband and I had. The BLT was loaded with crisp bacon, sliced tomatoes and green leaf lettuce. Delicious.. The grandchildren (1... More

Pleasant smile from hostess as she opened the door for us and she was very attentive throughout our stay. She was doing her work and most of our waitress's also. Good selection of beer and even offered me a sample as there was one I was not familiar with. Smoked prime rib was awesome and sweet potato fries are made... More
