The atmosphere is very eclectic and the food was great. Watch your p's and q's. The waitress will call you out like an old friend.

My family recently vacationed in Overgaard for a few days of sightseeing, and we ended up eating at…read morethis cafe every single day of our trip. That should tell you everything you need to know! From our very first visit, we felt welcomed and seated promptly. The food came out fresh, hot, and delicious every time. As an added bonus, they're military friendly, my husband was given his military discount without any hassle, which we really appreciated. We're late risers on vacation, so we came in later in the morning each day. Some visits the place was busy, other times there were only a few tables occupied, but it didn't matter either way, the service was consistently great no matter how full the place was. We tried a little bit of everything during our visits. The Lumberjack was a hit, and I had a crispy sandwich with fries that were seriously amazing, they're shoe string fries, which I much prefer over the thicker cut, so that was a huge win for me. I also had homemade onion rings that were perfectly crispy. My kids ordered chocolate chip pancakes and eggs, and even with my twins being a little picky (one wanted cheese, the other didn't), the kitchen got their orders exactly right every time, plates cleaned! My elderly mother tried the senior specials and loved every meal she had. Our waitresses, Jeannie and Jennifer, were absolutely wonderful. So friendly, so attentive, always checking in and keeping our coffee cups full. It's the kind of genuine, warm service you just don't find at chain restaurants anymore, and it made a huge difference in our experience. We couldn't leave without dessert, and honestly we didn't want to. The kids tried a different cookie each day, and I made sure to try the pie, which was absolutely delicious and clearly baked fresh. The bakery area itself was so charming, decked out with a patriotic theme and tons of cute little signs and decor. I actually tried to buy one of the signs to take home, but they weren't for sale, ha! I also picked up a jar of their homemade elderberry syrup, and they had some lovely handmade items available too. I couldn't resist grabbing a magnet on our way out, now I have a little souvenir on my fridge to remember this special cafe every time I walk by. Prices are extremely reasonable, and you will not leave hungry. This cafe was a highlight of our trip, and we can't wait to go back next time we're in the area!

We arrived around 12:30 on a Saturday. It was pretty busy but we were seated promptly and service was excellent throughout the meal. My wife had the chicken sandwich with a side of sweet potato tots. She loved both. I had the Southwest Omelette which consists of shredded pork, green chile and jack cheese added to a three egg omelette. Delicious! Mine were accompanied by has browns and an English muffin. The muffin appeared to be homemade and was very good. Definitely a place to stop if you are in Overgaard!

We arrived about 7:30pm on a Friday night and parking was ample and easy. We were greeted and seated upon entering. The servers were friendly and attentive. There were three in our party and two ordered the Beast Burger, a 1/2 pound Colorado Bison. One ordered the Fireside Buffalo Chicken sandwich. We all opted for a side salad over fries and were all very happy with the salad. The chicken sandwich was good although the Beast Burger was the bomb! Flavorful and juicy, one of the best burgers I have ever had. I ordered mine medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. We will be back to enjoy the Beast Burger again soon! Highly recommended!

Not entirely sure how this happened, but somehow we got lost on the way to Kohl's Ranch…read more Considering Creekside Steakhouse & Tavern turn off is practically across the highway, it's honestly a little impressive that we managed to do that. Fortunately for us, getting lost turned out to be a great decision. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived, so they told us to sit wherever we'd like. The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in, and the food was even better. I ordered the Reuben, one of the boys got a burger and fries, and the other ordered the chicken Alfredo. Now here's where things got interesting. After the first bite of the chicken Alfredo, all loyalty to previously ordered meals disappeared. The burger kid immediately developed a serious case of Order Envy and was ready to abandon ship. I'm pretty sure if negotiations had continued, he would have traded his entire burger basket for that Alfredo without hesitation. If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. One kid orders perfectly well. Another kid orders slightly better. Suddenly there's a food custody dispute at the table. Thankfully, there was plenty of food, nobody went hungry, and everyone left happy. Amazing food, amazing service, and a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We'll definitely make it a point to get lost and end up here again. Sometimes the best finds aren't planned...they're just the result of taking a wrong turn.

While our KC Chiefs let us down in the end, Shauna didn't! We really enjoyed our Buffalo Bone-in Wings and Papago Orange Blossom 16oz beer prior to halftime. I'm not a huge beer drinker, but this beer was awesome. While more time passed, I saw Shauna putting together a beer flight so I looked at the beer menu again and chose a flight to go with my burger at halftime We really enjoyed the SW Burger and natural cut fries. There was plenty of food to share and this was really, really good burger. I'm not sure if it was the brisket burger patty or the entire combination on Texas Toast that made the difference, but it was dam good! I had forgotten how filling beer could be, but I still managed to finish (with my husband's help) my flight of 4 beers: Fate Halfway to Hefen, College Street Brewhouse Big blue Van, AZ Loc Ale Beer Cactus Bird Juicy Wheat and Greenwood Mango Lassi Nitro - Whew! The beer names are lengthy. You do need to read their menu. There was nothing we didn't like. It is so nice to have a good meal and enjoying the company of patrons and staff. We hope they continue to be a good place for locals and travelers.

Ordered takeout and unfortunately after returning to our hotel we realized a large portion of our…read moreorder was incorrect. We ordered a double smash burger with bacon (an extra $2 charge) along with tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The burger arrived with no bacon and none of the listed veggies. We also ordered a triple smash burger with cheddar cheese and tomatoes, lettuce, and onion -- again, none of the veggies were included. We also ordered a mashed potato bowl with chicken, corn, and brown gravy, but there was no brown gravy in it at all. Even though a lot of our order was missing, I will say the food itself still tasted good. The biggest issue, however, was the customer service. The young girl working there, who looked to be around 16 years old, was extremely rude and snotty. When I asked for plastic utensils, she replied, "We do not have any." I asked how we were supposed to eat mashed potatoes and gravy without utensils, and she shrugged and said, "Ma'am, we are a bar, we do not have it." I responded that I've ordered takeout from many bars before and they always provide plastic utensils. She then sarcastically replied, "Good for you, have a nice day." I tried speaking with who I believed was the manager (he nodded when I asked if he was), and while I was explaining the issue, the young employee continued interrupting and talking over me. Another waitress overheard the conversation and quickly returned with plastic utensils, proving they did in fact have them available. The employee then changed her story, saying she "didn't know" if they had utensils and claimed she was super sweet to me(not rude). There is no reason an employee should be speaking to customers this way. She clearly needs additional customer service training before handling customer interactions on her own.
