Food was AMAZING! My husband had the green chile chicken fried steak and we fell in love with it. Such a good combo! And don't get me started on the biscuits and gravy. Absolute BEST biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The service was great, and our server was very sweet and attentive. The restaurant felt like we were at home or visiting a relative. Will definitely be coming back when we visit cottonwood again. read more

Disclaimer: few 5 stars...always room for improvement... So I've lived in VV coming on 4 years and have read numerous reviews on all the restaurants at in the area. I knew this to be a breakfast place, of which there are many, but someone mentioned on another board about where to get Greek food and Georgie's came up again. Greek/Med is few and far between and a really good place just closed in PV. That said, I went in today. Specifically for the Greek menu. Gotta say. It was really good and will satisfy your gyro need. I ordered the spanakopita and a beef gyro. I expected phyllo triangles but was met with a mountainous portion baked amazingly. My first thought was please don't be cold...it wasn't. It was nicely warmed and so full of feta and spinach it was ridiculous. While the phyllo topping came off, it was rich and buttery and flaky and messy. This was enough for 2-4 people. Presentation was blah but taste is what mattered. The beef gyro came in a nice hearty pita that stayed together. The meat portion was generous. There was a bit more lettuce than I'd prefer but it was fresh. I'd opt for additional red onion next time and the cucumber sauce was creamy and just really good. No overpowering flavors. I wish they had tabouli and hummus and I'd eat there daily, lol! Service was lovely, clearly so many regulars. Servers are wonderful and friendly. Decor needs updating but you're not going for ambiance, you're going for good, down home food. I will be back! read more

What a local gem! This is certainly a place overlooked by tourists like myself. We read reviews saying Sandy was the server to have. We were greeted by Sandy and she was quite hospitable. We were seated in her section and ordered. My friend ordered the number one of the combo meals. I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon. The food came out hot and in large portion. The food tasted fantastic as well. The ambiance is that of an old diner. I'm not looking for fancy decor I'm looking for good food and I found just that! Sedona tourists, like myself check out Cottonwood for reasonable and fair diner prices! 10-15 minute drive. Hi Sandy from Ami, from Julie in MI :-). read more

This place looks a step away from an abandoned building, but DO NOT JUDGE BY THE BOOKS COVER! As you walk in there is a whole wall of awards. And awarded they should be. Place reminded me of the "Greasy Spoon" places I would go with my dad growing up - the spinning order wheel, dinging the bell when food was ready, old, torn up, rubberized seats that have been there forever. Etc. Great breakfast. Great service. Fast service. Great prices. Even though I am a city slicker, I was warmly greeted by strangers in the parking lot. It is things like this that get me wishing that I lived in a smaller city. read more

Georgie's Cafe - About as plain as you can get from the outside. - American Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

Amazing experience at a local spot. The customer service is top notch, the waitress and kitchen staff are so friendly and grateful. The business has a very homey vibe with lots of art. The food was amazing. The biscuits and gravy were soooo good! Hash was amazing, eggs and potatoes were good as well. The breakfast burritos are MASSIVE! My only complaint was the price of the juice but it's all good, kind of a splurge anyway. I seriously can't wait to come back! Thank you for the great experience. read more

The best gyro in the entire Verde Valley. I didn't even know anyone had a gyro in the VV. I always come back for it. Abe had the pastrami special and said it was outstanding. Breakfasts are yummy with grits and homemade corned beef hash. Our new go to place in Cottonwood. read more

The breakfast is good, plenty of food and a variety of choices. Coffee is hot and refilled on the regular. I looove the staff. Robin and Joe took great care of us and they SMILE! Great find In Cottonwood for breakfast! read more

This is a great little find, thanks to yelp! It has that old homegrown feeling as soon as you walk in. They have a large menu with lots of great items. My kids loved all of the choices of food they had and that you could get so many different fruits on top of pancakes or waffles. We really enjoyed the food and service, everyone was very friendly and all smiles. I would definitely eat here again if we were in town. read more

Gluten free pancakes were perfect! Bacon was just right! The best bonus is all the good looking guys. Waiter, cooks, bus guy. I highly recommend! Just saying. read more

The food was delicious and served quickly and beautifully presented. Everyone was kind, very friendly and helpful. A great place to relax and enjoy your meal. It really tastes homemade and freshly prepared. I highly recommend this cafe. You can get great takeout too. Everything is reasonably priced. read more

Nice diner with good food. Hubby loves that they have liver & onions (yucko to me). I got a chicken gyro sandwich with greek salad as the side. It was really good. Hubby loved his liver. Only comment is it's pretty expensive. It ended up being almost $60 for lunch and 2 soft drinks and tip. May be a sign of the times but would think twice about coming again as it seems more expensive than other options in town. read more

Waitress we had was amazing! So kuddos to her! Table of 8 of us came in and arrived right before the rush. They were able to seperate all of the checks which was nice since we are all couples. You get a lot of food, some would say too much. Taste wise, it was lack luster. Everyone is our group got something different but we left full but not satified. read more

I needed food and my google search led me to this place. Food was not bad I just didn't realize the portion would be so small. Service if fine. This place is like an old diner that's been there forever and I'm sure they get a lot of regulars. The amount of awards on the walls was impressive. read more

Yelp had several positive reviews for this place, so we decided to give it a try. They get pretty busy, so we waited until late lunch to come in. They close at 2:00 pm each day. They were still somewhat busy, but they had socially distanced the table seating. We were greeted with menus quickly and the service was prompt to take our order and bring our food. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and swapped out the rye bread for sourdough. It came with a side dish so I chose the potato salad. When the sandwich arrived, I was surprised at the plating. It was basically two slices of bread cut diagonally to form 4 triangle shapes. Each triangle had the thousand island dressing, sauerkraut, cheese, and corned beef on top. It seemed more like finger food than a sandwich so I ate it with my hands rather than using silverware. It tasted good but just seemed a bit weird for a sandwich. The potato salad was good as well. My husband wasn't too impressed with his order. He said the food tasted a bit bland and maybe was geared to more mild palates than his. It reminded me a bit of hospital food. I probably will opt to try another diner next time. read more

Thank you, Yelpers for another hidden gem. We were leaving Sedona heading back to California, and needed a breakfast place that was opened early. Georgie's fit the bill. It's off the beaten path, heading towards old town Cottonwood. If you're not paying attention, it looks like a home and then you see the sign. As of August 2020, they're open for in-store dining. I'm not sure if patrons are spaced apart but at 7 am, there were only 2 other customers there and we were pretty far from each other. Georgie's has breakfast specials and some include juice, entree, and coffee/ tea. I had the Number 5: Eggs and your choice of bacon, sausage or ham. The meal also came with bread or pancakes or biscuits/ gravy, but since I heard the portions were hearty, I just chose toast. Stephen had the Corned Beef Hash n Eggs, and since I didn't want coffee, I gave him my coffee that came with my meal. Plenty of food, and maybe enough for 3 to share (if I had chosen pancakes or biscuit/ gravy as my side). Brekkie for 2 came to just under $20 and that fueled us up for the drive back to California! read more

Meet some friends from town here for breakfast and it was an experience to say the least. I do believe it's a one off but? Dog friendly patio is a plus but all the workers and locals come out here to smoke. Even the owner. I mean there were probably six smokers at one point. Ugh so gross since I'm a non smoker now and It took over twenty minutes to order drinks and another twenty to order food. Everyone is it's so busy inside yadda yadda. I went inside to wash my hands and it was half full. An hour later we got our food. Now you'd think, I'm starving, had been camping and etc and Food would be fantastic. But it wasn't. It was tepid and it was a monte cristo, cheese was all gross because it was cold. Fries were hard and etc. Yea h but wait they're training a new cook too so here's what you get and your experience is an experience and thanks for coming. Id drive by if given the opportunity again. But I hear from the locals this isn't the norm so? If you've got an hour and a half for breakfast and no alcohol and like smoke hit this place up. read more

Ew no disgusting food always dry takes like an hour to get to you. I don't know if you're using generic food or clone meat or second brand stuff it's just gross I would not I would highly advise not eating there coffee is great but actual food don't do it. read more

Came here back in 09 and it was great. The ambience gives me a better retro perspective and that really snowballs into the service which was excellent. read more

Definetly recomend this place for breakfast! Monday morning, 8:30ish, not too busy, place over half full and our group of 4 got in right away. Staff was all over it! We were seated, watered, juiced, coffee'd, questions answered & orders in before ya knew it! ( Terry, Thank-you! Your the best!) I had my usuall go-to breakfast, Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs. It did not dissapoint and thier spin on hash browns is definetly something you gotta try! This is a keeper and is now on the list of go-to's whenever we're in the area! read more

A solid 3 stars. Plenty of parking and plenty of tables. This is definitely a place enjoyed by locals. I tried their daily special...a chicken fried steak sandwich. Basically, it was a CFS patty on a bun...with all toppings on the side. I think it would have been a better sandwich if it were covered with a brown or sausage gravy. Regardless, it was OK with mayonnaise. Coke served here. No objections to eating here again. read more

Great service and food. First and foremost they serve real honest to God home fries. I always get a double order. At lunch and nights when open they sella spectacular chicken gyro. Delicious desserts and beverages. So good. read more

Had a French dip. It was pretty good. It could have used a little more meat. I guess waitress was anxious to leave. I was going to get a to go order but waitress never came back to ask how sandwich was or if I needed anything else. She only came back to lay check on table. read more

Georgie's Cafe - Texas Ham steak and eggs. - American Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

This place is atrocious from the decor the disgusting stained floors down to the food. The head chef (whom i later found out was part owner, side note im also a chef) was friendly but always seems a bit insincere like he was just trying to put a smile on his face, our meal came out fairly quick although wasn't very busy, never seems like it is. The main cook is fast but doesnt seem to have an ounce or passion for making food its got no appealing look whatsoever in general always seems to be quite bland all around. Although they have had a Mexican gentlemen work some mornings and he seems much better in my honest opinion I have had some great soups before there and sauces though so ill add another star only at 1 while writing... Also this place isn't very popular among locals. that should tell you enough... The staff were lovely, nice lady's trying to make a living. read more

The lady at the cash register needs an attitude adjustment. Old man comes in waiting awkwardly for someone to seat him. "anywhere you want to go" she says. He should have gone somewhere else. There was no "how was your meal" or "thank you" or anything. Couldn't be bothered. Eggs and toast were good. Bacon was pressed to a crispy oblivion. Straight as a board. It's a lean operation too. One napkin and they don't put anything on tbe table you don't specifically ask for. Jelly? - pick a flavor. Salt and Pepper? Yes or No read more

Yup, you found the family friendly, good food diner coffee shop you were looking for. When the parking lot has police cars and pickup trucks, you know you found the place the locals eat. Mason and I ate there three times now and not disappointed. The servers seem to live their job, friendliness abounds. read more

Had breakfast at Georgie's. It was an unassuming place, but the food was plentiful and d good. Chicken fried steak recommended.

Great spot for breakfast in Cottonwood. My husband loves the french toast and has had no complaints. I've tried some egg dishes and they were great, but waffles aren't their strong suit. Maybe it was just busy and the iron didn't reheat before mine was poured in, but it was a little soggy. That's fine, I have no problem sticking to their GREAT omelets super friendly service and quaint at-home feel. read more

Very popular spot in Cottonwood. Food was prepared well and service was excellent. One cook made it slower than we expected, but it was worth waiting for. read more

This place has fantastic, home cooked food. Large portions at a low price. The ladies that work there are always friendly, the service is fast and the place is clean with a large menu featuring tons of options. They also have a daily special every day. It reminds me a lot of the old school diner they went to on Happy Days or something! Lol non of the "no gluten, no fat, low salt" stuff hehe in my opinion, this is good old fashion, home cooked, goodness! They are not open very late tho. Really, their short hours are the only thing that make this 4 stars instead of 5. It would be so much better if they didn't close at or before 1pm. But otherwise, Keep up the good work everyone! Ill keep coming back a few times a month! read more

We were looking for a great breakfast place to eat and found it with Georgie's! Great staff and they were real attentive to our needs. Service was great and quick! Food was also great! Had pancakes and an omelette...recommended. read more

Pros: Food is hot and tasty. Fast service Friendly staff for the most part Fast seating Really good pricing Cons: Restaurant is a little dirty Coffee is abysmal (just get tea) Could use some updates to its decor Update: Changed from 4 stars to 1 Went in for Sunday b-fast with family from out of town. My mother wanted to sit on the patio. A bunch of employees were sitting out there chain smoking and it was constantly wafting our way. There are no bug nets or bug candles on the patio so I was being eaten alive by mosquitos. The food was about average for a diner as always (Nothing to write home about) but the lack of curtesy from the diner staff smoking on the patio was enough for me to write this place off. On top of all that, there was a hair in my wife's omelette, and my mother said her pancakes were like rubber. read more

Very clean diner with a fantastic menu. Breakfast available all day. Specials each day. Staff was friendly and attentive. Georgie's has numerous awards on the wall for "Best Family Restaurant" "Best Lunch Restaurant" "Best Breakfast Restaurant" "Best Restaurant For Your Money" among other awards. The food was delicious and plentiful. You will leave with a to go box. Friday they are open for dinner with all you can eat fish on Friday. The pieces of fish are large. A lady at the table next to us had ordered the fish. She asked for more fish twice and each time it was several large pieces. She took her last order to go. Didn't have room for dessert but it sure looked delicious. Happy to find this great food establishment while out looking around Cottonwood. You don't want to pass the great place up. read more

First time visit. Very good breakfast. Excellent ham. Eggs cooked perfect. ... Do you know how rare that is ? Pancakes nice and fluffy. Everyone working there extremely nice. And the price was great.
