-- The Dambar was awesome. Then came the Scott Downer. The staff at my hotel recommended the Dambar when I asked where I should go in Kingman, and this was EXACTLY the kind of local recommendation I was looking for. The place has character. Great Western/Route 66 atmosphere, people hanging out and having fun, a lively bar, hardworking staff, and really good food. And whoever is responsible for the asparagus deserves some recognition. Seriously. I don't know what they're doing to asparagus back there, but it may be the best asparagus I've ever had. Everything about the evening was heading toward five stars. Then, at approximately 9:24 p.m., manager Scott Dittmer came in and called last call. On a Sunday. When the posted closing time is 10:00 p.m. There were still plenty of customers in the restaurant enjoying themselves and ordering. By around 9:30, people trying to order additional items were being told they couldn't. Meanwhile, the staff was still working hard taking care of everyone. It was strange watching a genuinely fun atmosphere get intentionally shut down roughly half an hour before closing. So here's my review in a nutshell: FOOD: ASPARAGUS: (yes, six) STAFF: ATMOSPHERE: ENDING THE NIGHT 30+ MINUTES EARLY: The Dambar itself deserves the recommendation my hotel gave it. I'd absolutely eat here again and would recommend it to anyone passing through Kingman. But Scott -- don't be a Scott Downer. If your customers are having fun, your employees are taking care of them, and your posted closing time is 10:00, let the Dambar be the damn bar until 10:00. read more

Really glad I checked it out for myself and didn't let some reviews sway me elsewhere. Had a great experience for early dinner /late lunch. The service was great and the food was delicious. Biscuits ,prime rib , loaded potatoes, sweet potato fries, clam chowder and my daughter had a steak sandwich. Definitely a great atmosphere, we left very satisfied (and I'm a picky person ). read more

We were driving through Kingman and wanted to give this a shot. As soon as you get out of your car, you can smell the steaks being cooked. Restaurant is huge. The service was slow at first, but was bettering our order was taken. The food was extremely good and the price was reasonable. Will be back! read more

My family ends up in Kingman every year or so. This was our second visit to the Dambar Steakhouse. We enjoyed it very much the last time, too. The front desk at our hotel said that customers really like it, too. It's pretty cool to find a nice dining establishment with a full bar off the 40. This is a big reason why we returned. Our waitress Kim was friendly. My family isn't really a biscuit eating bunch, but we could tell these were homemade and we all demolished that basket of biscuits in just a few minutes. Soooo good!! I loved my roasted 1/2 chicken and shared it with one of my kids. The skin really was crispy and it was delicious. My husband loved his steak tips and my other kiddo said his chicken fried steak was the second best that he's ever had. The bowl of beans they delivered to the table were tasty. Maybe a little too peppery for those with a gentle palate. This is a great place to stop in for a bite when we're in Kingman. We will surely continue to visit when we are in the area. read more

Excellent chili! Patty melt made with brisket-also excellent! Ice cream looked hand churned. Definitely worth the stop!! Lots of rt66 and old memorabilia read more

In town one night. This place was recommended. Walked over from motel and sat at the bar. Jessica was the bartender and although she was slammed, she made sure I was helped. I ordered the prime rib sliders with mashed and gravy. Holy crap it was amazing. It even came with au jus and a bowl of beans that were country good. No complaints. 10 of 10. read more

Dambar Steak House - Prime Rib sliders with mashed and a bowl of beans. - Steakhouses Near Me - Kingman, Arizona

Eh, have to give it 3 stars. It was so good. The first time we came in and sat at the bar then we came again and it was not that good. We came again and it was amazing. Then we came back and sat at the tables by the bar got no service so decided to go up to the bar still got no service, then got attitude then got served really bad food. I've only been on the bar side and sadly the food is not consistent. That is what I look for. I know people can have off days, but you should really not bring that to work and treat your patrons the same. I wish we could go back to the old days where tips meant to ensure prompt service unfortunately I will never be back read more

The Sliders are excellent, the Route 66 IPA is great! And Tina our Server was the Bomb.com. This place is really cool a must if you're in Kingman AZ. Thanks for the Great Hospitality to you and your team. read more

I'm sorry, but I don't like the food! Service was good, food not so much. I left 90% read more

We were traveling along Route 66 and stumbled upon this place for a late lunch. The decor was rustic/western and inviting. The service was prompt and the food was fresh. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. We ordered tacos and the steak dinner. Both were very good. read more

I arrived and was greeted by Ryan. I took a detour to the ladies room to wash my hands and when I returned to the host stand he was looking for me. Attentive. That's a plus. He gave me the run down on the steaks and appetizers. I really wanted steak. Sometimes you just need a hearty meal and this was one of those times. Price-wise it's reasonable. 11.99-15.99 for appetizers and the steaks are in the $30's. The atmosphere is casual country/western in the bar. The music isn't too loud for conversation but it's loud enough to enjoy. There is a lot of laughing and talking and it's overall a very joyful place. I can't imagine coming in in a bad mood and staying that way, even if you tried. It's a family friendly atmosphere, but suitable for a date as well. Ryan was also my server and we chatted for a bit. Heck, he was so proud of the place, I thought he owned it. He represents the company very well. He gave me the history and some stories about features in the building. His work partner, Jessica, was dressed for the holidays with a holiday sweater and antlers with a super friendly attitude and strong holiday spirit. They tag teamed all the tables extremely well. As a former server, I appreciated the little details in the service very much. I ordered the fried mushrooms with horseradish sauce in lieu of ranch and a NY steak with soup and side salad. The side salad had shaved carrots which was a nice touch and I enjoyed it. It was larger than I could eat and still have room for everything else, so I stopped after about 3/4. The salad had iceberg lettuce, shaved carrots, chopped tomatoes, cheese and tortilla strips. The ranch was good quality with a fresh taste as opposed to the dressings that seem like it was made with oil or fake dairy products. The second dish to arrive was the fried mushrooms, which incidentally is one of my favorite appetizers ever. They were very good the batter was perfection. Ends up they are hand battered in house and made fresh. I will definitely order them again. The Mexican meatball soup was decent. Not too much bite, but enough to have personality. It's not something I would run out and make or buy again, but I'd eat it if it were served. The steak was good and tender, but could've used more seasoning. The service was amazing and for a dinner for 1, I even had a lot of conversation and laughter. I loved it and can't wait to bring my family here on our next trip through town. read more

Found this establishment on Yelp after moving to Arizona. I needed a new place to celebrate Marine Corps birthday and this seemed like just the place. The ribs were real tender and bbq sauce was on point. I also had their brownie sundae for dessert which was really good. Tina was my waitress and she was very professional and friendly. It wasn't busy when I went around 1530 but they definitely have the room to accommodate for busier times. For sure on every Nov 10th I will be back here. read more

I just spent $115 for two Fillet Mignon, baked potato's and a salads. The meals were horrible. First, While the fillet mignon (medium rare) tasted good, it was dry (no juice) which is probably one of the best parts. Second, the baked potato was cold (wouldnt melt butter) and undercooked (a little hard) Thirdly, the baked beans were seasoned with so much pepper they were disgusting. I talked to the manager and he seemed concerned about my comments and did add that the owner requires that much pepper in the beans... i guess that means there is no real chef to make those decisions. I think what made me write this review is i watched the manager walk back in the kitchen where he took no action. This post is not about money. Its about my wife and i on date night expecting a excellent meal and being disappointed. One could even say disrespected. In summary. No Chef in control of the pass, no quality control, and a manager that seems to care but took no action. I don't think i will go back. read more

We always stop to have dinner here when spending the night in Kingman Az. The food is great and not that expensive! Helen was our server and did a great job! The restaurant takes you back to the 50s and 60s with the decor! My wife ordered the catfish and I ordered a steak medium when they brought the plates to us we cut the fish in half and the steak in half and exchange the plates now we have surf and turf! Pretty good! read more

Price is $$. Food was great. Service was super friendly and the atmosphere was clean :)

This is a great spot! We were at the Grand Canyon and wanted a fun place with good drinks. Our waitress was fun as was the bartender. We had the Rib Eye, loaded baked potato, and a dinner salad (that is the meal) and it was great! The steak was cooked exactly med-rare, grilled crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside - no steak sauce required! Made a happy plate of that! We also had cheesy bread and grilled steak bites; both were really good. Then dessert!!! Oh man the pie ala mode was great, fried ice cream was light and crispy, and the strawberry shortcake was really good - I loved them all! lol ... they have happy hour on food and drinks. I think it was a couple dollars off drinks, but appetizers were half price. Finally, we shared a bottle of Stags Leap Artemis Cab ... it was totally affordable! The whole bill was reasonable, that wine was a deal, and the service pulled it all together by being timely, having a good sense of humor, and keeping the courses coming. Great job! read more

Friends in town, and we really wanted a good slab of grilled beef, so we tried this place out. Raw expensive ass steak is not what I wanted, raw expensive ass prime rib is not what my friend wanted. And idc how far in the middle of nowhere i am, seasonings are pretty cheap. Just the basic salt n pepper while in the cooking process woulda sufficed.-a retired chef read more

Travel through and was looking for a great meal. Found a gem. Atmosphere was great and the food was fantastic if they have the maple glazed fried Brussels spouts you are really miss a fantastic treat. Kim was are server and was great. Dog friendly as well. read more

This was a very nice restaurant we were here in Kingman, AZ taking care of business and decided to stop by. When we walked in we were greeted by the manager and made us feel welcomed. I had fish & chips (catfish) w/ coleslaw. My husband had a chicken Cobb salad w/ ranch & blue cheese dressings on the side. My daughter ordered sirloin tips w/ seasoned rice, mushroom gravy, seasoned fries, and house salad. My son had cheesy steak sandwich w/ fries. We also ordered an appetizer called the dusty trail trio. The food was very good they give you your money worth. It was so much food but it was very good. The atmosphere was nice had a lot of visual items on wall remind me of the older days. Our waitress name was Emerald S she was very nice and provided excellent service. If you in Kingman, AZ stop by. read more

Service was friendly, but the food quality here was very poor. I hate leaving bad reviews on restaurants because I understand it's tough to make a living, but myself my wife and my daughter all got sick, violently ill that night after eating at this restaurant and that was the only thing we ate all day literally not anything else just this steakhouse as we drove home and stopped in Kingman for our only meal. I'm quite upset about it, I felt like the food was very rushed. For example, the ribs just had a mound of barbecue sauce on them literally covered (couldn't even see the ribs) and the sauce wasn't heated on the ribs. Just looks like someone took a ladle and dumped barbecue sauce on dry overcooked rib ribs... the steak was very bland. Curious to see if anyone else got sick after eating here very recently. The hostess was very nice and the waitress was very nice but the food was extremely poor. Wouldn't have bothered leaving a review if my family didn't get violently ill after eating only here that day. (Also the ONLY thing all of us had for prior 2 days that was common food as our diets are very diff). read more

It's been six years since my last review so I decided I would give him a shot because they were one of the places that was open on Christmas Eve while I understand it's typically a busy timeframe because people don't wanna cook the day before Christmas. It's disappointing when you come in and you hear there's a party of over 10 people that scheduled a reservation arrived 15 minutes prior to the reservation only to still be sitting there waiting 30 minutes after. A party of two waiting for 30 minutes only to hear a manager come out and say they're not taking anybody else after six. There's no more tables available. They're open for another hour and they won't even see the bar which is open seating. Needless to say this is the third bad experience in the last 10 years, I will likely never return to this place. can't review the food because I've never even managed to eat. read more

If you're ever in Kingman, AZ, do yourself a favor and make a beeline for Dambar Restaurant. We celebrated my mom's birthday there on our way back home to Vegas, and it was nothing short of magical, thanks to Tina. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that made us feel right at home. You can see how hard she's working and you could tell she loves what she does by going above and beyond to make every guest feel special. But what really blew us away was how Tina made my mom's birthday unforgettable. She took the time to arrange a surprise birthday dessert for my mom with other staff. The sparkle in my mom's eyes as she blew out the candle was priceless, and we owe it all to Tina's thoughtfulness and hard work. On top of that, the food at Dambar is absolutely delicious and incredibly affordable. The kitchen gets busy, but you get generous portions that leave you completely satisfied--you won't leave hungry, that's for sure. The combination of quality, quantity, and price is hard to beat. Dambar Restaurant has a fantastic menu and cozy atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just want a great meal with a side of genuine kindness, Dambar is the spot. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great place. great food .service i give all around 5 . Fun atmosphere great people highly recommend

We were going to go to a Thai restaurant but when we arrived there we were not inclined to go in. We had passed by the steakhouse and decided to go back and try it. We are SO glad we did! The place was immaculate, the staff and servers were friendly and professional and the cocktails were pretty dang good. Hubby and I both had the prime rib sliders and they were AWESOME. We absolutely LOVED our server, Morgan! She was attentive and so very sweet. We will have to put Kingman, AZ on our rotation when we travel back through on our way to California from Colorado. Give this place a try if you're ever in Kingman! read more

We went on Thanksgiving and tried to order prime rib and ribs was out of both. Husband ordered the steak burger the waitress didnt ask how he wanted it cooked it came out pink and he ended up sick behind it. I ended up with the steak sandwich which I must admit was better in person than through door dash. The service this nite was terrible and slow Not attentive and took at least 15 minutes to come back and let us know they were out of the items. While waiting I watched our waitress go everywhere but our table. We just chalked it up to the holiday. That is until today we got there about 3 not very many people but the same very poor slow if any service. This time I was able to get the Prime rib and believe me I was not missing a thing. The place across the street is way better and has a lot better service. Asked our waitress for a extra sour cream and that took forever. One gal asked if we needed anything else I asked for more dressing we never saw her again. Salad was supposed to come out before dinner it did not it didn't even come out with dinner when I asked about it the waitress asked what kind of salad. These people need to be trained. By the way the food was just sub par. Won't be going back anytime soon. read more

The food is very good I will definitely be going back! The service was great and everyone was very friendly

Service was quick, catfish very flaky and delicious. Enjoyed it. Cheesy steak sandwich was very good as well. Great atmosphere. For a country style home cooking restaurant, in a small town, it was excellent. read more

Fun, relaxing, atmosphere great food good service plenty of parking never too crowded

We met with friends we haven't seen in years last week at the Dambar. The parking lot was crowded so we (six of us) thought we might not be able to linger long and catch up on things. It turned out to be just the opposite; we took our time----enjoyed great food and great service--- while catching up with great friends. A lunch to remember; thanks to the Dambar! read more

Food was amazing. James is by far the best waiter. I loved the atmosphere, no TVs to distract you

This place is cool and when on Route 66 it's a must stop... old country music playing m, pool tables ready to be used and drinks ready to be poured. They've got dollar bills from all over signed by passerby's and lovers alike leaving behind their mark.... We didn't much eat but we sure drank and talked and admired the place and respected its ability to survive with all the big name chains... we bought some shot glasses and took some shots ourselves... the bartender was friendly and the people around us seemed to be smiling and enjoying themselves.... We will definitely stop back and give this fine establishment another go.... read more
