We stopped in for some lunch here after discovering they are dog friendly. The permit pups in the main saloon area which was nice. Quite the historic saloon, so it was fun looking at the architecture and the huge wooden bar. The service was good and very friendly, beer was cold and food was decent - my brother had a burger, the husband the philly cheese steak and I went for a chicken wrap (which was a bit bland). The extra star for me is the pup friendliness. I had initially thought they would put us up on the second story balcony seating area but it was nice that we were able to sit inside of the main saloon. read more

Was not a fan of the food here unfortunately. I ordered steak, potatoes, and coleslaw. Also got ribs. They were all not very tasty. The steak came out just a touch away from raw, and I NEVER send food back, but I had to send t back twice before they ended up roasting it to a well done... The coleslaw was just shredded cabbage with honey mustard on top, which is the strangest coleslaw I've ever had in my life. Overall, cool place, nice waitress, just not the best food when we went. read more

We were passing through town and decided to stop at Crystal Palace Saloon for dinner. We were looking forward to the experience and arrived hungry and excited. Overall, the food was just okay. Across the board, it lacked seasoning. I ordered the pork ribs--the BBQ sauce helped--but the mashed potatoes and corn were quite bland and needed salt and flavor. My husband had the country fried steak, which was cooked well but also could have benefited from better seasoning. It was a bit disappointing. On a positive note, the atmosphere was fantastic. The bar area is very well done and exactly what you'd hope for in a historic saloon. We especially enjoyed going upstairs to take in the view from the second floor and exploring the decor--there's a lot to see, including old paintings and vintage roulette wheels. It's also pet-friendly, which is a nice touch. The staff, including the waitresses and bartender, were dressed in saloon-style attire, which added to the overall experience. If we were to visit again, we would likely stop in for drinks at the bar and choose a different spot for dinner. Prices were reasonable for the experience. read more

They are dog friendly. The main floor looks like a great old saloon. A huge bar and back bar. There is also seating upstairs both inside and outside. We chose to sit outside overlooking the street. The stagecoach tour passed right by us. The food and drinks were great. My Sombrero Burger was very tasty. My wife enjoyed her Nacho Fries. I loved the Huckleberry Margarita. Our server, Chris, was friendly and efficient and very knowledgeable about Tombstone. He took excellent care of us. read more

Staff and service was pleasant. Food is nothing special, but that's not what you're in Tombstone for. Overall, establishment provides a place for rest/food after walking around for a while. Historic features are stunning read more

Family took a trip down to tombstone over the weekend and ended up here for lunch. The restaurant was spacious and had a good historic western vibe. Server along with other employees all seem very nice and friendly. Food was ok. Food ordered: 1. Wings Basket: It was fried perfectly, but wings are bland so you're relying on the sauce to make it taste good. 2. The Duke: Burger patty with roast beef on it. Pretty tasty, lots of flavor but messy. 3. The Cowboy: good flavor and if you add jalapeño, it kicks it up a bit 4. Fish and chips: this is my favorite. Love how the batter is not too much. If you love fish and chips, you have to try it here! 5. Chicken tenders: This was not too bad. Good option for kids. read more

This is a historic place and definitely one any native Arizonan must check off their bucket list. Drank a beer at the circa 1800's Crystal Palace in Tombstone. Same place as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. Now you're someone! The burgers and fries are standard bar fare and make the mark for nostalgia. The prickly pear margarita serves the southwest flair and is tasty to boot! the antique cherrywood bar is definitely a centerpiece so take a few minutes to ponder the stories the bar itself could tell you about all the action it's seen. read more

Nothing special but we received a friendly welcome and solid service despite the fact they were very busy. We were a party of 6 and all agreed food was decent but not date worthy. Fun lively atmosphere with live music and hard working staff. read more

Yay stopped in for a drink. The big wooden mirrored bar is stunning. This Saloon has a lot of history - been around since 1879. Apparently, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday used to come here. My husband had a draft IPA; I'm doing Dry January, so got a bottle of Sioux City Sassoarilla which was actually really good; made with real cane syrup. They often have live music on Saturday night. But not tonight, so will check out Big nose Kate's. read more

Neat old bar with decent food. Service was great. Very attentive. House salad and wings for me. All tasty. No blue cheese tho. Chicken fried steak and fries for hubby. Good. Nachos for 11yo. $20 seemed spendy to me for nachos. Great (some local) beer on tap and fantastic 1800's bar back with costumed servers. We went during down season but it was enjoyable. read more

Cool place with a bit of history and a stunning bar. The drinks were strong, the food was decent and the service was friendly.. Ribs were fall off the bone, onion rings crispy, open face roast beef was good and the gravy tasty. No complaints from a hungry tourist in a tourist town. They had the Monday Night Football game on which was a bonus read more

Crystal Palace Saloon is a really fun spot. The bartenders were super friendly and made great drinks, and the shirts the staff wear are really cute. The service was a bit slow, but everyone was so nice that it didn't take away from the overall experience. Still a great place to grab a drink and hang out. read more

Average tourist trap. Food was solid mediocre, not bad but not good either. Alcoholic drinks were incredibly weak / watered down. Service was OK, but not great. Ambiance was what you would expect. Not really recommended. read more

Another tourist eatery in Historic Tombstone, we had lunch here on busy Sunday. It is family-friendly even though the servers are dressed in festive, yet provocative saloon girl attire. They were all incredibly friendly and smiled all the time, even at the customers they weren't serving. There is live music on the stage most of the time, I understand and the act playing during our meal was more entertaining than the country/southern rock music pumped through the speakers. We had some basic fare, but I HAD to see what the Palace would do with their Spicy Cheese Steak sandwich. The chicken strips were great, but the cheesesteak was not good. The "spicy sauce" was weak and the steak a little soggy. I had to eat it with a fork. I give credit to the kitchen for turning out food quickly. The bar was busy. There were a lot of kids running around as obstacles for the wait staff. In retrospect, I would have asked for a seat on the second floor balcony to enjoy the fresh air,quiet, and view of Allen Street. Like most venues in the historic district, it closes early, so maybe check it out for lunch or plan an early dinner to avoid the rush. read more

The food was pretty good, but basic. I did enjoy the Doc Holiday soda! The service was okay but nothing stood out as excellent or anything. The hostess was very friendly though, that was nice! read more

Get lost in the bittersweet history of this awesome place. The staff was amazing and friendly.

If you want to experience eating at a western saloon and don't mind the wait, this place has the ambiance and feel of it from the decor, paintings and the bar is something to experience. Established in 1879 it's worth checking out. They mainly serve American food and the place is very family friendly to include pets. Granted, the wait took 30 minutes only because it was during lunch hour and is to be expected. We enjoyed ourselves nonetheless so it was worth the wait. I suggest to check the weather beforehand because it was windy the day we went, so it was dusty from the unpaved part road of Main Street. read more

Arizona 01-2024 Tony and I went into the Crystal Palace Saloon & Bar mainly to check out the bar. I am big into architecture and decore. This place was awesome! Tony and I first sat at Bar & ordered a few drinks. Then we moved over to the table and ordered Chicken Tender & French Fries. The food was very good. There was no live music or shows which would have been e tremendously nice, I would love to go back. Highly recommend and the food was good! read more

Have always loved the Palace. And this time didn't disappoint. Saw a review comparing to another establishment - wrong. The Crystal Palace is so much more accommodating and, not that the food scores a 5star but for the bars in town - close to the top of a rating scale than the bottom. Its bar food ffs. We'll be back time and time again read more

Absolutely nothing special or historical about this. The other disappointment on our trip. Service was atrociously bad, and food was just meh. Go to Big Kate's instead. This one is definitely a miss. read more

From visit 2 yrs ago (sorry, just found the name of the restaurant) Absolute BEST salmon I've ever tasted in all my life. My husband agrees. I've never liked salmon and it's been since Feb 1 or 2 since I've had it and I'm still thinking about it! It's THAT good. Do not leave tombstone without getting this salmon. I've already told my husband I wanna drive the 7 hrs (we are west coast) to tombstone to eat this salmon for either my birthday or our anniversary or a Tuesday for crying out loud, it's incredibly yummy. I kick myself for waiting the last day to eat this. My husband is the one that ordered it but guess who took one taste and ate the whole thing. This girl. That man loves me. No photo because well, my mind was in the clouds floating while we ate. I forgot the sides, but they were good too. Kids got pizza. It was good! Hubby ate some and he usually passes on pizza. Milkshakes were ok, chocolate was best. Forgot what I ordered. Hubby ate it and loved it while I devoured his salmon. Can gas prices go down already so we can take vacation time and stay at the Larian n have all my meals at this restaurant, please. Kid friendly. My kids had a ball playing with other kids, Resturant goers were laid back. read more

Ambiance was neat, old wooden bar, pretty neat place. When we walked in there wasn't a host but just a sign to wait to be seated. It wasn't busy at all but we waiting about 6 minutes when finally the bartender waved and told us to sit anywhere. We sat down placed our orders (med ribeye & wings w/ranch). When I tell you it took them over 45 minutes to bring us our food. The very young waitress apologized for the wait once our food arrived but then took another 10 minutes to bring ranch. At that point my wings were cold. She again apologized for the wait. (They were not busy, she was just easily distracted wiping tables, sweeping, etc) the food overall wasn't great. The ribeye was extremely seasoned and more on the rare side not medium ( they should call it peppered steak) and the wings well by the time I got ranch to eat them with were dry. Cool spot but not the best food / experience. Once we were done we asked for the bill and once again she forgot and started sweeping and cleaning and had to ask her for it again. Our waitress was nice but needs to focus a little. read more

Great friendly service. Food and drinks were good. Loved the atmosphere! Will be back.

Food was gross. My "cheeseburger" had the juiciness of cardboard. I think the bun was 30 seconds shy of being penicillin. The "burger" was thin, dry, crunchy and devoid of flavor. Thankfully they allow dogs, because that's who got this "meal." Server was not in her preferred profession apparently. Worst experience ever. read more

Really good food. Great theme too. I was afraid It would be a tourist trap but the food was actually really good.

My first experience in a Saloon! And it's very different from our usual restaurants,a different vibe inside. The ambiance is so nostalgic, if you love antiques this is a good place to be. It's ideal for people who love to have their favorite drinks while they dine. And it's very casual inside. The servers dress up like back in the 1800s era,which is really cool! Can't wait to come back and see their show on that stage. Food is okay,service is good, but I think you pay for experience as well. Worth the trip! Did I mention, they're pet friendly?! read more

As the server put my $19.99 plate of all you can eat ribs in front of me, she told my companion and I not to share the fries. I gave my friend one of the four ribs in my plate to try and the top part of the coleslaw. That's because it was drenched in mayo I don't like. I only had the one plate, as I can't eat much. The server gave us a dirty look as she walked by. She charged me for two plates. When I told the manager the server was unpleasant, the manager said she was following rules and took $10 off my meal. I had argued with my friend to eat at this particular place and not one across the street. This was a blot on our otherwise fun day in Tombstone. read more

In the original offices of Virgil Earp and other characters famous from Tombstone's sits the Crystal Palace restaurant . We ordered the Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich (a large boneless chicken breast grilled and topped with bacon, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato & honey mustard sauce) with a side of onion rings and a Dragoon IPA to wash it down. Lots of history here and decent food. read more

Went here for lunch, and wish we had just had a beer and enjoyed the history of the place. Crystal Palace is one of the old saloons from Tombstone's wild west heydays, and it's a cool place to see. The staff dress in period costume, and you get a feel for what life was like in the 1880's. Unfortunately the food was just not good. It wasn't awful, but was disappointing especially given some of the photos we saw on other Yelp reviews. Everything we had was bulk frozen items that are just fried or heated. The chicken strips were bland, dry, and looked exactly like what you'd get from the frozen food aisle in Walmart. Same with the fries. And the chili may have been made on site, but tasted more like they browned up hamburger and added to canned chili. So, stop in for a drink, take some photos of the place, and find somewhere else to eat. read more

The 1st thing we noticed as we stepped inside was a sign stating "Cash only" which of course is unusual but at least they let you know ahead of time. There is a lot of history at the Crystal Palace such as Wyatt Earp was once employed here running the Faro games & Bat Masterson as well as "Buckskin" Frank Leslie were also employed here. The ambience was pretty ordinary but the bar itself was extremely large & likely the original one from the 1880s. We ordered the Blackened chicken & the 10 inch sausage pizza. Both were good but nothing special whatsoever. Our server was trying her best but it was evident they were short staffed that night. Next time in Tombstone would we come back, probably yes but possibly not our 1st choice. read more

All I can say about this place, is that the prickly pear margarita is fire. The food is decent, the environment and atmosphere is what you're paying for. Club sandwich and onion rings were fresh and delicious, however the fries are a huge let down. Literally was cut potatoes thrown into a deep fryer, then sogged out in a to-go box. Little to no flavor, not as crispy as they should be when they're that brown. Continuously showing the movie Tombstone in the back, nice touch. The one girl who works here, tall blonde, she's gorgeous. Wow. I shoulda shot my shot and asked for her number. I'll stop by here again next year, for that prickly pear margarita. read more

The waiter was absolutely amazing. He Didn't miss a beat. Everything was perfect. I ordered the ribeye steak my wife ordered New York strip. The steaks were cooked to perfection. On the flat iron. But they serve me the best steak I've had in many years.... They're chef is putting out Gordon Ramsay quality food. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. The ambience was also amazing, also the bartenders make an amazing prickly pear margarita. Also tombstone the movie is always playing on a large screen TV. The noise level was low enough that you could have normal conversation at your table. Loved the old school country playing in the background. read more
