    Server was really nice and welcoming. Hubby and I ordered…read morecoffee- cups did not match, which I loved. It gave the restaurant a more homey feel. Coffee was good, besides not getting a spoon to stir my coffee, that's okay. Coffee was great nonetheless. Breakfast was really good too. HashBrowns was cooked to perfection. Eggs were cooked well too and toast was delicious for sourdough, except I would have liked more butter, but that's okay too. This place is located right next door to a Mc Donald's- (Dick move on corporations) I suggest you give this place a try while driving through Quartzsite for breakfast. A local mom and pop shop that deserves support for a tasty meal.

    I was so disappointed today and it pains me to write this review. But unlike other times, this…read morevisit will be our last. There was only one server, Josh, running the entire front of the house by himself. Apparently this is customary on Wednesdays. Before he could seat us, he had to clear off a table. Several tables were just in disarray and when people came in, this poor man had to scramble to clean something off. I went to the bathroom and one stall had absolutely no toilet paper or covers. And one dispenser had no soap. The bathroom was just yucky. When I came back, we still didn't have menus or drinks. When our food came, we asked for condiments that took too long that we ended up taking them from another table. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. The cook gave me a stale biscuit that just ruined my meal. I couldn't eat it or ask for it to be remade because Josh was too busy to check in on us or refill our drinks. I told him when he came to pick up the plates. He apologized, but he didn't remove it from the check. I paid $10 for a meal I couldn't eat. We got a piece of pie and the taste was kind of weird...like it had been freezer burned and then defrosted. The whole experience was disappointing.

    I wanted to take a moment to recognize an employee at Terrible's named Victor for providing…read moreexceptional customer service during our stop on our way back home to California. We stopped in for gas and a few snacks, and Victor truly went above and beyond to help us out. He took the time to make sure we downloaded the app so we could take advantage of the fuel promotion running from May 1 through August 1, helping us save between approximately $0.20 to $0.50 per gallon depending on the amount of fuel purchased. What really stood out was his attitude and willingness to help. He made sure we had everything we needed before continuing our trip and treated us with genuine professionalism and kindness throughout the entire interaction. Customer service like that is hard to find these days, and Victor absolutely deserves recognition for the outstanding job he's doing. Thank you again, Victor, for making our stop pleasant and stress-free. Your effort and dedication did not go unnoticed.

    **July 2026: Friday Afternoon Visits**…read more My friend and I stopped here on both the drive to and from Phoenix during our road trip, and it turned out to be a really convenient place to take a break. We needed a place to charge his Tesla, and Quartzsite had plenty of EV chargers. Terrible's was just a short walk from the chargers and made for an easy rest stop. The restrooms were clean and plentiful, which we really appreciated after being on the road. Since it's Quartzsite, there were also lots of rocks and gems for sale along with snacks and drinks, which gave it a fun local feel. The AC was blowing hard inside, which was especially nice considering how hot it was outside. Overall, this was a really good stop and a convenient place to recharge, both for us and the car.
