“ Dessert is awesome!! Strawberry shortcake(unfortunately with frozen strawberries) is very good with excellent cake, also the apple crumble is awesome with large pieces of apple and perfect spices. We sat outside on the patio and watched the sunset.. service was good- a large party showed up just before us. ”
“ Excellent fish, excellent chili!!! Cold beers, service ok too. Ambience is nice. Has a giant saguaro at the outside patio ”
“ The Horny Toad in Creek Cave was recommended by a local friend for fried chicken and fish (cod) & chips. We ordered the whole fried chicken with mash potatoes. Came with 8 prices of chicken and they were freshly fried and moist. Not season well for my taste but my friends liked it. We also added home made sides of Honey Butter Corn bread and cheesy grits. All were delicious. We thought we were full but after talking to our sever, she strongly suggested their house made Strawberry Shortcake-OMG, the best I have had in a very long time. A must at this place if you come here. Creek Cave is a small and cute town so worth the drive from Scottsdale/Phoenix for a day trip along with a delicious meal. Will certainly come again when we're are back in Scottsdale and next time to try the cod fish and chips. ”
“ Great food, amazing service and the setting is perfect!! If you are looking for a change away from mundane, this is the place!!! ”
“ Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone! This is a great restaurant and bar to hang out at both summer and wintertime! They have AMAZING fried chicken, everyone knows that, but they also have great burgers . We really enjoying hanging out on the patio with our well-behaved dog. I love sitting at the picnic tables talking a drinking a cold draft beer. It seems we get a different waiter each time but all are good and friendly! ”
“ It was like a "sports bar vibe stuffed into a Texas Roadhouse restaurant, but no worries." From the dark inside with sunlight coming through the stained glass windows, I was reminded of roadhouse restaurants from years past ( minus the black-and-white tv's and the smoking indoors). But the vibe matched the food, which was delicious. Big portions with leftover take-home appeal...you knew what you were eating the following day. Even better, because then the food was allowed to marinate inside the fridge for a nominal eating experience! We ordered Nachos, fried zucchini, 1/2 pound brisket, cornbread, taco salad, you the drill. No disappoints here. Our server Satie was nice and kept our beverages full without asking for refills. While everything was served way warmer than lukewarm, the fried zucchini was downright steaming. Seating? We sat inside, while it was also available on the patio. A cool looking bar area as well as other rooms memorbila along the walls to look at. Worth it's weight in gold for a good dining experience! ”
