I had liver and onions and it was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. I asked for ranch dressing with a side of salad and they got it just right. Quick and friendly staff. It was such a great place. I will be back. read more

Foods good, Service was great, Nice ambiance. I will be going back. Plenty of parking. read more

A very pleasant restaurant with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Daily soup and salad buffet, weekend brunch buffet with breakfast buffet and/or salad buffet. The buffets are kept clean and regularly stocked. The prime rib dinner is very good and there is usually a daily special. Thursdays offer a prime rib special. The soups are house-made and quite good. Service is very friendly and they are kept pretty busy. Relax and enjoy the food. You will not be rushed out. Save some room for a piece of house-made pie. You can also find a selection of local guide and history books for sale. read more

Easy breakfast after staying in the Motel 6 that shares a parking lot. All you can eat buffet breakfast for $16.99. It was too much food though so we ordered off the menu and enjoyed our meals. Server was excellent. read more

My friend and I stopped here while passing through the area. We were looking for some good coffee and breakfast, and let me tell you, we were so lucky to find that and so much more! At Calico, we were welcomed with warm smiles and kind greetings as if we were coming home for Christmas. The kind lady who sat us at our table made us feel so welcomed! Then, the interior hosted large, beautiful pictures of local national parks, canyons and rivers. The pictures were well done, labeled and inspired a sense of beauty and adventure. Then, the food. Let me talk about the food. I ordered and Omelet with pork and Chile Verde sauce and let me tell you, I have never had any omelet like that before. It was amazing. My friend ordered the French toast and it was tasty. Also, their coffee really hit the spot. We left smiling and feeling like family. I highly recommend! read more

Pretty good place for breakfast or lunch. We pass through Kingman fairly often and have stopped here for both. We'll be back!

We stopped for lunch after a long drive. The decor was cheery and bright with a Route 66 diner vibe. They appeared to be busy but they still were able to take care of our order in a reasonable amount of time. I had a delicious southwestern French Dip and my husband had the RoadRunner (turkey, bacon, avocado) sandwich. The turkey and bacon were piled so high that my husband couldn't get his mouth around it. Both were very good, read more

The prices are outrageous. It seems like everything is near $20. I went to the breakfast buffet and they had some kind of omelette that was not very tasty. They had tons of sugary dessert, which was a waste. They organize the breakfast buffet in such a way that you cannot reach certain things. I'm not gonna go back. It's not that the food is bad but they're gonna price themselves out of business. It took a while to get the water glass even filled, and then the waitress wants to bring my receipt up as an excuse to get a tip when she did almost nothing. If they're going to cost for almost every meal near $20 it's gonna be where serving staff gets almost no tip. I gave a one dollar tip because I finally got my water glass filled. You pay a tip for service but on a breakfast buffet what kind of service are you getting? Like I said, I will not go back when every meal costs almost $20. It's ridiculous. I would rather go to black bear diner where at least they give you options for reasonable prices. read more

This is a great place for breakfast, dinner, lunch. The servers are all very pleasant and the food is the best around, other than specialty restaurants in the area. I have heard the prime rib is the best in town, and while I have not tried it everywhere, it is the best I've had in a very long time! When I have out of town visitors I make sure we go to Calicos and we have never had a bad experience. They also have a "souvenir shop" for lack of a better word, with Route 66 memorabilia, books, etc., and it pleasantly surprises me that nearly everyone is so interested in Route 66! read more

Stopped here on way back to Phoenix, great choice! Breakfast was delicious, eggs perfectly cooked, has browns crispy, biscuits were excellent, all nice and hot! Service was exceptional, very friendly and attentive. The best breakfast we have had in a long time. Restaurant is very clean! Highly recommend this place!! read more

Had dinner here the other night. We eat a little early so it's not usually real busy at the places we choose. Had the French dip with potato salad and the salmon with salad and asparagus. As usual my wife loved her sandwich and potato salad and even brought some of it home. My salad was cold and crisp, and the salmon was great as always, but I was not quite as happy with the asparagus. They looked nice and tasted ok but were overcooked, other than that everything was great as usual. Lauren was our waitress and did a wonderful and attentive job. Her friendly attitude really makes for an enjoyable visit. Almost forgot to mention I usually don't leave without a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie to go. It is quite tasty. read more

We had an excellent lunch here today. The menu is amazing, so much variety. We can't wait to come back for breakfast! Also, don't let the view from the street deter you - you enter from the back. Inside is bright and clean with an uprated decor. This is our new Kingman go-to when we're in town. read more

Awesome staff. Welcoming and friendly. Tasty food and reasonable prices. Cold brews in frosty mugs. Nothing better!

Well, we went this morning to try the breakfast buffet and didn't end up getting it. At 17.00$ it just didn't look worth it. And I know before you tell me that everything has gone up in cost since the virus and this flipping recession Joe has landed the nation in. With that in mind, I think we are all being a little careful on how and where we spend our money. I'm not willing to spend that much on sugary sweets and cafeteria quality buffets . I will say that I had the eggs Benedict and they were excellent. My partner had a omelette and it was delicious he said. The hash browns had little taste other than the oil they were cooked in. The waitress was amazing, very fast and friendly service. I'm not saying don't go, just saying the buffet isn't worth it in my humble opinion. read more

The food and service is always great. We love the Sunday breakfast buffet. Would like to see something maybe sugar free, I'm a diabetic.

The salad bar was excellent!! Good service and cute gift shop. Definitely worth a try!

THANK YOU CALICO'S!!!!! Great Food. Reasonable prices. Excellent servers. Fabulous salad bar with big plates. Remodeled interior to include restrooms. We are delighted that they have reopened and are back, BETTER THAN EVER!!!!! THANK YOU Rhonda and Raymond!!! BJC read more

The food is good and friendly servers nice atmosphere Clean Restaurant I would recommend Calico read more

This place is a true travelers gem. I've been here twice now. Atmosphere is nice. Tables aren't too close together. Attention to cleanliness is evident. They do seem to understaff which makes service times a bit longer. Slower but very friendly. We visited on Sept 1st and weren't in any hurry. We were all very pleased with the meals we got. I had the prime rib which was juicy and flavorful. I asked for medium and it was closer to medium rare. But I like medium rare. All good. Potato baked perfectly. Salad was fresh and tasty. Gluten-free bread options would be nice. Whether you're passing through town, staying longer, or live here, this is a place to put on your list. read more

Nice selection on th menu. Had the salad bar - good soup, lots of selection for salad. Tasty. Reasonable pricing. Staff was attentive.

We are so glad that Calicos is back open after their 2 years of being closed. Good food at a fair price. Very clean and nice remodel. Our waitress, Burgundy, was very attentive and friendly. She did a great job. read more

Thank you so much Rhonda for reaching out and making it right. Had dinner there and it was amazing. The server was phenomenal and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you again to the owners for your quick response to the issue! :) read more

Reasonable prices, friendly staff, nice old world feel. Burgers are tasty. Nice open airy space. Nice selection of Route 66 merchandise.

For a local and well established business, I truly find this restaurant to always be not only a pleasant experience, but a great place to meet friends and clients for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My favorite is the Fish and Chips along with Thursdays when the special is Prime Rib and the salad bar is included. The service has always been top notch. read more

A gem of a place along historic Route 66! Came for lunch before traveling back to CA and was pleasantly surprised. Our waitress, Tamera, was super friendly and everyone enjoyed their food. Will definitely be back when we visit! read more

Covid Road Trip, heading home tomorrow. This restaurant was directly across the street from our hotel (see Arizona Inn). and resides in the parking lot of the Motel 6. protesters are gathering up the street at the train in the park, curfew set for 8. We decided an early dinner was a good plan. Our food server seated us immediately and we ordered our beverages, spirits & alcoholic drinks are available. I went for the "special" fried bread taco, Ive not had their version of fried bread so I gave it a go. I also went for the salad bar an extra $4. C ordered the french dip, which was served with a large bowl of au jus. She enjoyed her sandwich very much. I was impressed with the salad bar, all very fresh and quite a lot of choices to pile on the lettuce. The fried bread taco was a disappointment. Too much bread, the ingredients were fresh. Shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded mixed cheese. Taco meat was minimal and flavorless, no refried beans or rice to supplement and certainly no guacamole to speak of just a tad of sour cream. I ordered a slice of housemade carrot cake and a cup of milk to go, which was very good. Our server Kim was excellent and very competent. Black Bear diner was Covid closed, so we returned for here breakfast. I was not disappointed, my ultimate Omelet was cooked perfect, hash browns as you would expect, sd. toast and fresh fruit that had more than cantaloupe and grapes. My side of bacon was not under cooked and not brittle crispy The coffee flowed constantly and was good too. C had her usual eggs sunny side up and done syrupy waffles to dip in to the yolk? Nope she cut it all up together and started to eat, it was ugly. Judy was a wonderful server, certainly a competent and confident member of the staff. Hats off to the manager or owner that runs this place, nicely done The protesters were gone, no harm done and we left to see the train and get headed home. foodguy-martin read more

Excellent place to eat warm and friendly excellent food too I will definitely go back again

My parents were here last Friday with some friends and said the food was great so they wanted to take me and my family when we came to visit. Unfortunately, the Monday night we ate there had a different cook in the kitchen and the food was not as good. My dad had the pprl chops the time before and said they were great, so my son and I split the full order and both of us were disappointed - my dad tried a bite of mine and said it wasn't as good as the Friday before and the open face beef sandwich he got wasn't good as well as the instant potatoes on his plate. My mom said her club sandwich wasn't even as good, which really surprised me considering the basic ingredients used to make it. The teriyaki chicken my wife ordered was by far the best dinner at our table. This restaurant is getting a low rating because the quality of the food is inconsistent - the wait staff was actually very helpful and attentive and the eating area and restrooms were very clean. read more

Food and service was impeccable! Good downtown restaurant.. not exactly what you would expect if you're not a local. the waitresses treated the regular boy. With smiles and questions about their lives . They didn't just care about getting out there food. They cared about taking care of their customers. The owner needs to be proud of the staff that he has. read more

I have always enjoyed coming to this restaurant. Great service, amazing spicy chicken sandwiches & love the atmosphere. 5 stars everytime!

Cute locally owned restaurant. Great service, dinner was good. The roadrunner sandwich was delicious, and great choices for the kids meal.

Foods good , service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is family...prices are decent....we go here regular with friends.

Excellent local spot!! Great service and food. Prime rib is great. Fish fry is tasty

Invited to breakfast here, the food was good service was good and the ambience was comfortable.

I LOVE local spots like these... tiny, great atmosphere, and thr pride of the team shows in the cleanliness, service and food! ***fyi late review*** My mom had some diner rules- you can rate ANY diner by 3 menu choices - Hashbrowns with Eggs over easy, Soup and their French Dip.... Calicos knocked it out of the park! The soup was home made and amazing - full of flavor, but not salty, and packed with chicken veggies and noodles. The french dip was the same... I have to say - freshest best sandwich roll I have EVER had. Even my husband commented on the bread. The roast beef was sliced jsut thin enought but not shaved to be ground, and the auJus? So savory and satisfying! I would def love to go back and enjoy more of the had made menu options! My daughter (who wasnt feeling well) wanted a grilled ham and cheese and they made it for her even though its not specifically on the menu- cannot say again how much I appreciate this thoughtful accomodation! Absolutely wonderful family style service! read more

The food here is fantastic! The ribeye steak tasted like someone is pulling it fresh off a wood BBQ. It is super tasty. The all-you-can eat soup and salad bar is a great deal. The soups are homemade and taste out of this world. This is a must visit location!!! read more
