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.

Hamburger Salad

Friendly greeting as you first walk in. Nice, old school feel, Hamburger salad was really good. Apparently it was Kristy P first day! Very good with the customers which is key. Fast, efficient behind the register. Great job and great hire. Keep up the great work.

We love Earls! If you want a really good burger this is the place to go. Great food and Great place to watch all the fun cars a motorcycles go by. Foods always made fresh to order. Prices are pretty typical. They have a huge backyard for fun with large yard games. The Candy store will take you back to your childhood. Fun place to bring out of town guest to enjoy a meal.

Customer service was amazing. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is fun to sit outside, rather rustic which adds to the experience and atmosphere Saturdays they do family movies The burgers are great and the fries next level. Seriously good milkshakes Next door is an old fashioned candy store.

Goudarugala Burger

Finally made it to this little Gem! I had the Goudarugala Burger and Cheese Curds. Cooked perfect and the Curds were best in AZ that we have found! Being from the Illinois/Wisconsin border we are harsh judgers in the Curds lol friendly staff! Will be back!

Cheese curds + caramel sauce = Funnel Cake?!

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.

Beautiful staff

Food, Service, ambiance, Connect Four, Jenga.. the staff is soo sweet. They turned the heaters on in the patio so we could sit outside with our service dog. Love this place. Thank you for staying in business for so long:

I am addicted to the Jewel of the Creek salad, so good. Burgers are good and the breakfast burritos are huge and delicious. This place is a fun and family friendly restaurant that we frequent.

Big Earl burger with green chile, fries and a Dale's pale ale.

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!

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.

They ruined burgers for every other place. It was literally the best I've ever had. I wish I started coming here earlier but now I'm hooked.

**July 2026: Wednesday Night**…read more During our Arizona road trip, my friend and I made a spontaneous stop in Cave Creek and were instantly drawn to the town's western charm. We were looking for an authentic saloon experience, and Harold's Corral seemed like the perfect fit. We came on a Wednesday evening and were seated in a booth. The place was already bustling, and there was live music that night, which made the whole atmosphere feel really lively and fun. We each enjoyed a bottle of sarsaparilla and a prime rib dinner, which was the special of the night. The food was decent, but honestly, the vibe was the real highlight for me. They have live bull riding on Wednesday and Friday evenings, which sounded really cool. We were pretty wiped out and still had an hour of driving ahead of us, so we didn't stay for that part, but it definitely made me want to come back another time. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to return on a Friday night to check out the children's mutton riding competition, which I heard is especially cute.

We have been here numerous times. This is definitely an old school bar but a solid pet-friendly…read moreplace to hang out and grab a drink and enjoy a laid back atmosphere. Patio is comfortable and cool even in summer. Far superior to Buffalo Chip in my opinion. The beer is cold and the service is generally always very good (special shoutout to River who we had today and was absolutely excellent). The food is bar food (not my favorite) but some good options are the burger and the wings. My husband likes the fried chicken. Breakfast is pretty good and the build your own Bloody Mary is nice with lots of toppings.
