Our group of 6 ate lunch here while on the scenic Apache Trail drive. In Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl this turned out to be one of our favorite side excursions. The restaurant was a lot of fun with all the clever/unique photo ops. A back window with many species of birds and mining equipment was pretty entertaining, but we missed seeing the roadrunner. Restaurant was clean and decorated in a western style with everything covered in signed dollar bills from many patrons!! We left behind a Liberty University in the Fiesta bowl note on our dollar!! The meals were fantastic. Bbq sandwiches with prickly pear bbq sauce were great. Giant chili dog was amazing and the nachos app was enough for 6 with some Mexican heat. The prices were reasonable for a restaurant in this great location!! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a great drive into the Arizona desert and finding entertainment and great food in one spot!!

Even if you don’t eat here, take the drive! The twist and turns and views are amazing! Just don’t do it at night. The food was surprisingly good for a tourist place. I had the pulled pork with prickly pear bbq sauce & potato salad…delicious! My husband had the chicken tacos which were stuffed! As for drinks, they claim to make them strong, the DI NOT! The margaritas were $17 and tasted like plain lemonade. Stick with the beer, they have many on tap from local breweries which were cold and delicious!

The Apache Trail drive to Tortilla Flat, AZ is quite the ride, & well worth the adventure!! It reminded us of the Road to Hana in Maui although not as long, but lots of hairpin turns. We saw quite a few bikers who were enjoying the ride also. Fun little shops to buy that special souvenir or just to browse. We did not eat here as we were there mid day & the wait was too long. The parking is limited to plan on getting there early, we were quite saddened that the one handicapped parking stall was used by someone who clearly did not need to park there. Otherwise, we enjoyed our visit & recommend you to go for the ride!!!

This is off highway 88 which through Tonto National Forrest. It's about the further you can go because the road ends 9 miles later. I only went here because I wanted to check out the scenery off 88. Driving through the mountains & passing the lake offers some really beautiful scenery. Because of that it was worth going as far as Tortilla Flat. When arriving it was a lot of people & cars. The guys were cool who helped us find parking. Bigger the car more the problem you might have. I'm guessing some days are busier than others but it was busy for a beautiful Thursday in March. Didn't stay long because we didn't need to eat. If you got time to kill and just looking for something to do I think it's worth driving to but mostly to check out the scenery. Heads up on the drive there though. You will go through windy roads & will need to drive over 2 bridges that are just 1 lane which means you could find yourself waiting for oncoming traffic to stop. Fortunately for me I didn't have an issue but if you were to go at a bad time I could see where traffic backs up.

We did the Dolly Steamboat cruise. Great narration and a lovely 1.5 hour cruise on Canton Lake. Refreshments on board with both inside and outside seating. Something fun to Sedona near Meas, AZ

Unfortunately the day my hubby and I headed-out here, was a rainy day. There were plenty of mud-soaked puddles by the time we got out there. It is a nice, western themed attraction, but we only went into a few stores, and they were over-priced. As by hubby stated, they were tourist traps. The first shop I went into had a young girl there, who had modern music blaring, so the western atmosphere was lost, I know, she doesn't want to listen to western music, during her shift!, but still! The drive out and back is what made the trip...such beautiful scenery! Being my hubby's first trip to the desert (my 9th), he thoroughly enjoyed all the desert plants and the mountain, and valley views! It would have been much better of course, during a sunny day, and a better view of Canyon Lake...not as misty/foggy looking. We had hoped to do the loop tour, where we could have gone beyond the Flat, but we knew ahead of time, before leaving for our holiday, that the road was closed. We would have enjoyed our trip more. That will be our only time out to T.F., as it's not worth

It was not quite what I expected. I thought the saloon would be way more like an old time saloon. Tried the prickly pear gelato it was yummy. You will love the drive up. The mercantile store had stars on the bebit machine asking for tips. lol I didn’t know it was a thing to tip your store. They didn’t help me at all I pressed 0
