Back after 9 years with way higher prices and a quality hamburger experience. I ordered the black n blue burger, but it wasn't seasoned alot or spicy, but it had a perfect amount of cheese, mayo and was cooked well done. Burger was $14 now with no side included. Patio needs a refresher,but i believe they are moving soon anyways. read more

I went to Big Earl's to grab a cheeseburger. The place is small with friendly staff. Mostly outside seating. The cheeseburger was juicy and cooked just right; medium rare. It was a good sized burger. The bun got exchanged to potato bread which tends to be a little more flavorful than your regular bun. A very satisfying lunch. Napkins needed for the juicy tendencies of the meat. Parking in back of the restaurant. read more

First off, I can't believe we didn't take any photos! That was a first! The food was really good, totally enjoyed it. We had the BLT, a burger & onion rings. Would recommend all three. Everything looked delicious. Definitely go hungry! Such friendly service, unique vintage, fun atmosphere. Will take pics next time because we'll definitely be going back. read more

This was the definition of diners drive-ins and dives! Big Earl's was a walk back in time. As soon as you approach the restaurant you get taken back to the diner days with all their decor. We were greeted by their friendly staff and they answered all of our curious questions about the menu. Their burgers were amazing and so were their sides of fries and onion rings. Definitely make sure you add a fried egg to your burger to put it over the top. We'll be back next time we're in Cave Creek! read more

Quirky place but they are moving soon. I didn't like my wife's blue cheese chicken sandwich but she did. I loved the smash burger. Wish they were bigger. read more

Hear me out: cheese curds + caramel sauce = funnel cake?! Yes, you read right! While in town scoping out a possible wedding venue, we stopped at Big Earl's for dinner. Our hostess introduced us to this twist as she learned it by someone from Wisconsin. Oh man, what a mind trip! But, if crazy combo foods aren't your thing, Big Earl's has patty melts, hot dogs, and, plenty of burger options to please any palate. Don't forget the shakes! There's limited indoor seating, plenty of outdoor seating (misters and yard games to keep everyone cool and entertained). Next door is a charming candy store with so many choices. They also sell shirts and hoodies to show off your trip. read more

The Big Earl's Burger with Green Chile might be might favorite Burger in town. I come out to Cave Creek to play golf a couple times a year and this place is always my go to place for a bite to eat when I'm done on the course. Being from NM, it's always great when I can find a place that serves up Hatch Green Chile on anything. Big Earl's does it right and I will continue to come back for more! read more

Such a cute unique restaurant! It's an old fashion gas station made into a fun restaurant. Most of the seating is outdoors but they did have limited indoor seating. My Dad got a peanut butter milkshake but when asked if it was made with real milk I was told it was a premade mix. They had all kinds of menu items one would expect from a "greasy eats " place. There's a cute candy shop next to the restaurant. Being gluten free I did not eat there. I didn't see any options for me. A fun place to hang out. read more

Absolutely love this place!! It has a small town feel and eating here made me feel like I was in a Hallmark Christmas movie. They have the cutest Christmas decorations and very friendly staff. I ordered Big Earl's burger with no onions and it was seriously amazing! It comes with a "secret" Cajun sauce. I don't typically like spicy things, but the sauce gave the burger extra extra flavor. We also tried out the AZ prickly pear lemonade and that was delicious! We came in here on a Saturday after doing some hiking in the area, and this place hit the spot. We were pretty hungry when we got here but left very satisfied! This restaurant is located on the main road and has its own parking lot. p.s. We also ordered the cheese curds which were great. I'd highly recommend them because you get a really big portion! read more

Awesome spot with tons of great outdoor seating. Order inside and they bring out to your table when ready. Cuban is very good (get it with green chilis added). Get the tots seasoned w their Cajun seasoning and a side of homemade ranch. Super friendly service. Can't wait to go back and try other items. read more

I'm not one to leave reviews, like ever. But Big Earls?? The. BEST. BURGER. I have ever had. My boyfriend and I came up on our day off together and the service was immaculate. Right off the bat we were warmly welcomed and the atmosphere was amazing. Will be coming back! read more

I've been seeing Bug Earl's all over TikTok and finally had to try it after just moving to the area. I'm not usually a big burger fan (I normally go for lettuce wraps), but when I saw they had a cheeseburger salad on the menu, I was sold! When we first pulled up, I immediately loved the vibe, it's built in an old gas station, which gives it such a cool, unique feel. Our food did take a little while to come out, but honestly, I didn't mind at all, it just made it feel like everything was really being cooked to order. We decided to try a little bit of everything for the table: onion rings, tater tots, and fries. Every single one was delicious, but the tots especially... I'm still thinking about them! I ordered my cheeseburger salad with jalapeños (so good and even better than a lettuce wrap burger, in my opinion), my husband got the arugula burger, and my daughter got the kids hot dog. The best part? They both ate every last bite, which my four-year-old definitely doesn't always do! The whole experience was just awesome. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fun, and the candy store next door was the perfect bonus. We had such a great family day and I can't wait to come back, especially to try the drive-in movies! read more

Today is the start of Jen's weekend so we decided to head up to Cave Creek Az. One of my old stomping grounds when I worked with Pepsi Cola, Boy this place has grown so much in the last 20years, it's lunch time so time to feed the wife before she gets Hangery We decided on the " The Big Earls Burger " with a side order of Cajun Fries. Both were very good and nothing was left behind. The service was good and and prompt, the ambience was nice and the inside appearance is nice, there's about 4 tables inside with a small to sit around as well and plenty of outside seating if you rather be outside to enjoy the Az weather. So if traveling and around Cave Creek Az be sure to stop by and give them a try. Also so many other places to try if you're not feeling for a burger. read more

It's a busy place and seems popular. It wasn't for us. My husband had the burger and I had the buffalo blue chicken sandwich. The buns fall apart so we ended up eating with a fork. The burger seems to be a premade patty. Not sure but wasn't great. Asked for it to be medium well. It was closer to rare. I did not eat my sandwich. The chicken appeared to be undercooked. read more

Food 100, service 100, ambiance 200. What a great place ! This was such a fun place to stop for lunch. We also stopped in the candy store next door which is owned by the same owner as earls. So much to choose from and the owner was soooo nice !! I will definitely be back. Oh and they also do a drive inn movie night on Saturday's and mondays !! How fun !!! read more

People who worked there were very nice; the food was average. Burger was good. Fries over-cooked. Be prepared to sit outside.

Delicious, had BLT and fries for lunch. Very well made fries are not greasy. Very good well made Captain and Coke if you know what I mean. Breakfast had biscuits and gravy, equally delicious. Highly recommend especially if you have a Midwestern palate read more

We discovered Big Earl's when adventuring to the unique town of Cave Creek, AZ. We had a busy day and had a desire for a good hamburger. Thanks to Yelp! we found one there. My wife enjoyed their veggie burger and reported it was tasty and even crisp...usually unusual for veggie burgers. I had the basic burger on the menu and it was wonderful. We accompanied with shared order of delicious french fries to complete a great meal in a colorfully conceived and decorated restaurant. We will be back again in the future! read more

We really like seeking out locally owned/operated dives and Big Earl's Greasy Eats certainly has that look and appeal when driving by. But, like the person I was with that said it was a great place before the latest ownership, "it's just not the same place it once was". The burgers are dry, small and tasteless. The onion rings are the kind that have that rock hard thick batter where you barely notice there is an onion somewhere inside all that batter. You can get the same packaged in those large plastic bags of the frozen food sections of warehouse clubs. The adult shakes were actually tasty, but in very tiny plastic cups, like the plastic sippy cups children get only with a straw instead of the safety top and handles on the side. You don't get much for what you pay. read more

To start, loved the endless options, every single type of anything on the menu. I also loved that classic 50's vibe in the restaurant, as the interior had those old 50's booths, and the exterior had a car in the front. Service was great, options were easily customizable, and it was fast. I got a bacon cheeseburger with some garlic parm fries, it all tasted great and was very fresh. I stopped by the candy store next door and found some funny candy cigarettes. overall a great experience, would definitely go again. read more

We did not originally plan to go to Big Earl's Greasy Eats but once we passed it and saw how adorable it looked we had to try it! I am so glad we tried this place because the food was great for lunch and the outdoor seating was great. They even have outdoor games for the kids and adults while you wait. You walk up and order at the front and they bring your food out to you. The prices are very fair and they have lots of options! We did not try the adult milkshakes but many people had them and they looked delicious. The cheeseburger salad was phenomenal and no dressing needed because of all the flavors on top. If you are visiting the area, this is the perfect lunch stop! read more

Best greasy spoon and burgers! We love spots like this and it did not disappoint, we'll be back for breakfast! Wow! The food was so on point, my bbq burger was perfect amount of smoky flavor with a nice bbq kick! My wife loved her melt, perfectly balance of cheese and burger. And the fries were SO good with a great crisp and just the perfect fry. Not a lot of searing inside but once it's cooler out, plenty outside and it's covered. read more

We've visited my father in law twice since he moved to Arizona, and both times we have come here on one of the days and I must say I can't recommend it more. It's a place where you order and find a seat. This time they were slammed a line way out into the dining area so we had my son pick out what he wanted to eat and then go find us a table for 4. We ordered a grilled cheese, 3 burgers some onion rings/tots 2 ciders and a couple of milkshakes. Despite being overwhelmed by a huge line the person taking our order made sure to crack jokes and make recommendations to anyone who was uncertain about what they wanted. The place isn't the fanciest (come on it's called greasy eats for crying out loud) but it is clean, welcoming and has delicious, burgers cooked exact to order the crispiest tots and onion rings and one of the friendliest and fastest staff's I've seen, my kid didn't even finish asking for some bbq sauce and they were back with it. If you are in the area highly recommended I've been here on 100% of my trips so far, a streak I will look to continue on my next visit. read more
