A great location with a good view, I was recommended their signature fish and chips meal that was mediocre at best. The shot of coleslaw was a joke and honestly you can get a better fish meal on the side of the road from a taco truck so I wouldn't waste my time with the fish and chips. My next mistake happened when I asked for a piña colada.... The bartender told me he doesn't even know how to make one, then suddenly the full bar doesn't have any of the rums to make the drink. I was not impressed, there are so many other places that will actually try to do something for you as a customer instead of making excuses and telling you how they cannot do what they should already know how to do. If this was a young bartender I could understand him learning, but this was not the case at all so my three star review was generous based on my experience. Otherwise this place is clean, spacious, and easy on the eyes. If you are a beer drinker, or simple spirits connoisseur looking for a good view and nothing more, this might be your spot and you may love this place. Lots of parking and looks like a good live band. I'm sure the night scene is much better. read more

Mountain View Pub - Bavarian pretzel - New American Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Been going to Mtn. View pub for years and usually a great experience. Last night's visit was awful - worst food ever - nachos and flatbread. Nachos had awful white queso - no real cheese - and meat had no flavor - looked like plain hamburger with nothing to it. Flatbread was hard as a rock - like it had been freezer burned - and was cold and the cheese was not even melted. Disgusting. Mentioned to our waitress (long very blonde hair in case management wants to know) and she made it obvious she didn't care, rolled her eyes and did nothing to alleviate the situation or even apologize. Probably won't go back to Mtn. View after this experience. I can understand that sometimes there can be issues - but with two items and the way the waitress handled it - hard pass. We paid for inedible food (which was also horribly overpriced) and went over to Harold's for some great quesadillas. read more

Best jalapeño cream cheese burger ever. Dish and chips were outstanding. Drinks and a view Excellent service. read more

We will never go there again. While the deck views are nice, that's not nearly enough to make up for the horrible service. And the food isn't anything to brag about either. We finally got so frustrated that we just moved on. There are several spots within a short distance that are much better. read more

Great place with fantastic country music! My girlfriends and I went for a Sunday Funday and the food, service, and music was wonderful. Craig the bartender was awesome! Attentive, friendly, funny. Food was just okay... ordered skewers and they were a little dry, and my friend ordered a tuna melt and they gave her a chicken salad instead. She informed them of their mistake and they admitted it, but didn't discount the ticket or anything. Otherwise- great place! read more

We had a reservation at 5:30 today (01/23) for four people with seating inside. We show up on time and are told "Sorry we have a party of 30 that came in and can't seat you inside." Did not care we had a confirmed reservation. No other solution given except we can sit outside on the patio in the cold. No thanks. Will not return again. read more

I love this pub. The views are amazing, and it's worth it to get up there for the sunset. They have a great variety of different bands. I love the pub burger and considering our economy right now, the prices are reasonable. The best part is the camaraderie in the bar. The patrons are very welcoming and always happy. It just feels good to be in there. It's a clean establishment as well. You can tell the owners pay attention to detail and take good care of their staff. Please don't be put off by some of the cranky people on this site. The food is good for a pub and IMHO you get what you give. I've seen some impatient people who think they are maybe in New York or California. Yeah, there's a wait. Every bar and restaurant in town is short staffed. It's post-covid. duh For me, this is a perfect Sunday Afternoon. Great views, great music, wonderful people, good food... read more

Great service and atmosphere, fun and delicious drinks as well. Took a risk and went with the stuffed bell pepper, a bit of a gamble to order at a pub, and was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend. read more

Mountain View Pub - two glasses of water with a straw - New American Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Unfortunately I've been here 4 or 5 times & I forget it's only for the view! The food is average @best, the service is ok, the view is AWESOME! Good size place, about 25-30 seats outside & 40+ inside. MINIMAL parking (40 spots max maybe) In the summer the flies are all around the outside seating, in the winter they do have blankets to borrow which is a nice touch (maybe not in today's paranoia germaphobe society) $11 for a BLT +$3 for fries & $1 for cheese , taxes & tip = $19+ FOR A BLT WITH WATER I'm so mad that I came here! NEVER AGAIN read more

Please don't eat here. Atmosphere is nice but it's $20 for a sandwich that is honestly some of the worst quality food I've had in years. I'd rather have fast food for less. They charge you $4 extra for French fries that are slimy and always undercooked A simple bottle of beer is almost $9. Terrible pricing for what they are capable of providing read more

Owner gouges customers with high prices especially St Patrick's day with $9 Guinness when Harold's were at $7 per pint!!! Food is just soap and 4 people I spoke to at Harold's left Pub and said never again as they took advantage of people! Very vocal! read more

I'm truly disappointed in a server named Lauren who disrespected my waitress right in front of my family. She decided to cause a scene with her right in front of our table. I just felt this was very inappropriate to do right in front of our family, this could've been a matter discussed away from the customers. read more

Sunday lunch was so good. We had the pretzel and fish and chips. Everything was so good probably one of the best fish and chips I've had. My Bloody Mary was delicious and we will be returning. But not when the band is there. read more

Truly horrendous. My friend and I ordered the Raspberry lemon drop. It was so sweet it was not drinkable. When we told the server he said well what did you expect? I said we didn't expect simple syrup with ice. He never offered to take them away and bring us anything else and just argued more. The food was even worse. The burger was from a cheap stack of frozen patties that came out grey and over cooked. Bad service, gross drinks, disgusting food. read more

Michelle, owner, was super sweet and exhibited perseverance finding a college game for me on TV. She really went above and beyond. The wait staff was friendly and took good care of us. Enjoy the indoor/outdoor atmosphere as well. Even though it's was over a 100 outside it was very comfortable with the garage doors open. Lastly, the food was very good. My wife commented that the pretzel was the best she ever had. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Mountain View Pub has some of the best views in the entire Valley. They have plenty of outdoor patio seating. MVP offers a solid breakfast menu jam packed with a wide variety of choices. The blueberry pancakes were good. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the bacon was undercooked and very salty. The staff is super nice and very attentive. Lots of parking and perfect Cave Creek location!! read more

Excellent service, tasty grub, and insane views. This is my go to in town. Parking is a wee bit challenging.

Amanda is the best!!! She made our experience fantastic!!!! The views here are the best in Cave Creek.

Food and drinks are great! The live music really sets the mood. I love that there's heaters outside too.

BEWARE YOU ARE ABOUT To GET GOUGED! Have been visiting this place for over a decade. Stopped in today for a beer. Ordered one pint of Scottsdale Blond draft beer was charged 10 bucks! That's 60 bucks a six pack?. Don't mind a markup for the service but that's excessive. Previous to my visit there I had the same beer at another location nearby and paid 6 bucks, needless to say I won't be back. read more

Cave creek local here and I am hesitant to write in. But maybe the business owners are monitoring Yelp and we can help save your servers?? I Just paid $60 plus tip for get this - two church music beers and one order of fish and chips, at lunch. This is beyond outrageous and you can't expect anyone to be ok with these prices. Do better. The locals and tourists don't deserve to be gouged. $10 drafts is beyond sad. read more

Cod platter was the whitest I have seen. Delicious. Customer service on point. Thank you.

Great place and people!!! Food is always great and the views are the best. Now the time to sit outdoors

Good reliable Cave creek establishment for the locals. Good food. Good vibe. Live music on weekends. A nice place of you want to hang at the bar and get a beer. Plenty of food choices both healthy and not. Fun place to bring out of towners. read more

$26 for 2 shots of Bailey's and 10 oz of Guinness. In plastic glasses. My boyfriend and I ordered a car bomb since it was St. Patrick's weekend. We got two plastic cups each filled with about 5 oz of Guinness and a shot of baileys in a smaller plastic cup that could not even be dropped into the larger one. When I called over the waiter to request a shot glass for the Bailey's, after about 5 minutes of excuses and no offer to get a glass, his recommendation was to pour it into the Guinness directly. And we did. And we will never return. Photo is what we got for $16 at Harold's up the road. All glass, more beer, cheaper price. read more

My family and I eat a lot of food in restaurants, and between the 4 of us, not one of us had an edible meal. Shepherds pie was dry, Au Jus tasted like vinegar, and the cook put coleslaw with grapes into the fish tacos! They flavor all their fries with Tajin, which may sound good at first, but it's truly too tart after two fries. We talked to the chef and realized he really has no experience with actual food. They have a very blah pulled pork, which should be a no-brainer. Now the waitress was very good. That's the only thing positive I can say about this place. It claims to be an Irish pub, but they don't have even the basic condiments for the tables that an Irish pub should have. It has a good view and great patio, but as far as the food goes, it is way overpriced for the sub-standard ingredients and terrible cooking that they are cranking out to the people of Cave Creek. We left almost all of our food behind and went to Dairy Queen after paying a hundred and fifty dollar tab. read more

Great burger. Ellen was fun and attentive! She had some great recommendations for us as first time visitors to Arizona. Prickly pear margarita is a must! read more

This place is fine if you stick to burgers, nachos, beers, and Bloody Mary's. My husband is Irish and we always seem to come here when we're in town, despite it being the most bizarre "Irish" bar either of us have ever been to. The fish and chips, where the default is potato chips (and not French fries), is just weird. The bucket of shrimp is a mistake. Stick to the basics and enjoy the view and you can have a decent time. read more

I really don't like leaving negative reviews...especially for local places, but sometimes there's just no way around it. We've been talking about trying Mountain View for quite a while, and decided to have an early dinner yesterday evening (Saturday). We arrived around 5:30 and the place was pretty busy...and hopping with live music. We found 2 seats on the big communal table on the patio. No one came over with menus for about 10 minutes. Our waitress didn't tell us her name, and had zero personality. We ordered drinks - a martini for me and a scotch and soda for my wife. I asked for Belvadere, and was told they didn't have it. Usually when this happens, the waitress will list the vodkas they do have, but not this time. I asked if they had Tito's, and she told us they did. OK, no big deal. My wife asked for Chivas, and the waitress didn't seem to know what it even was. My wife then asked if they had Dewars, and she told us they did. OK, again, no bid deal. Drinks were good enough that we ordered a 2nd each just before our dinner came ( not knowing the cost). We ordered their giant pretzel for an appetizer, and it was fantastic. At $17, it better be good! With the pretzel, we got a small plastic ramekin of cheese sauce and mustard. Both were great, but not nearly enough for a pretzel of this size, so we asked for a 2nd ramekin of cheese - we were charged an extra dollar for this. Not the biggest of deals, but at $17, it seems really cheap to charge for more cheese sauce. For our dinners, we decided to order the shepherd's pie and fish & chips, as both sounded very Irish, both with Guinness beer, and when you're at an Irish Pub, you shouldn't go wrong sticking with these Irish staples. Obviously not true, though. My shepherd's pie came in a very small bowl, and looked very dry. Not only was it a very small serving, it was very dry and bland, with very little flavor. I wouldn't call it "bad", but it's so easy to make a great tasting shepherd's pie, and at another $17, I wasn't pleased. The "famous Guinness battered cod" fish & chips was a huge letdown. Again, no flavor, no Guinness flavor at all, and instead of a crispy batter, it was actually soggy. No way you can pick this thing up, as it just falls apart. Even forkfulls fall apart. Fries were at best warm, and tasteless. Tartar sauce again, flavorless, and if you can't make a good tartar sauce, you shouldn't be serving fish. This is not a $19 fish & chips...not even $10. So, the views from the patio are great and they have fans to keep you cool when it's warm and heaters to keep you warm when it's cool. The ambiance is very good and people all seemed to be enjoying themselves. The live band was great, and there were people (ages ranging from their 50's to what looked like their 80's) dancing to pretty much every song, so that's cool. BUT...the music was loud. I mean loud enough to where every single time one of us said something, the other responded with a "What?" For us, too loud, unless you're just there to drink and dance. I was rather surprised when the bill came to see $122 total, but my martinis were $15 each and my wife's Dewars were $14 each, which I have no issue paying at a nice restaurant, but when the food is such a letdown, it kinda pisses me off. Service was poor, although the guys and gals clearing the tables were friendly. Our waitress was not remotely friendly and never even came over and asked how our food was or if we needed anything, and because of that, she only got a $16 tip, which is about 13%. (I usually almost always give 20%). So, in closing, this is a vibrant spot with great live music with patio seating and great views, but the food is not at all good (other than that giant pretzel, which was great), service is poor, and everything is way overpriced, especially for what you get. If we come back, it will be for a pretzel only...and the nice views. read more

Mountain view is way over the top when it comes to cost of Pub food. You can expect to pay approximately $3.00 more per menu item than it would cost elsewhere at most places of this nature. The food is okay allow I've had better for a lesser price. When it comes to having a drink from the bar, you're best to stick with water. As an example, I ordered a Blue Moon beer and to my surprise when getting the bill, it was $10.00 a glass. I've never had a Blue Moon anywhere that was at a cost of $10.00. I guess you're paying for the view if sitting outside! Sorry, I won't go back view or not. read more

Not worth your time. They don't disclose that they charge $10 for a glass of beer, and the food is mediocre. Service was lacking. Had to request multiple times for things we had mentioned at the time of the order. Far better places where they treat you better in Carefree and Cave Creek. So this is no value, way too expensive, for nothing special. read more

First time trying out Mountain View Pub in Cave Creek, AZ. Food was decent BUT when the bill was presented I asked our server why the price was higher than quoted on the menu. We ordered burgers. They charged us 3.00each Extra for fries. When we ordered he asked if we wanted chips, sweet potato or French fries. I asked for French fries. I didn't know until we got the bill that they charged extra for The fries. He told us chips come with it but the fries are extra. What the heck. Who charges For fires with a burger when the burger is 16.00. The server did not blink an eye when I questioned it. Very deceptive. It was not the money it was the principle. Like up selling Sorry mountain view pub, I like to eat local but don't like being taken advantage of ! read more

Great views and great service! We were a party of 10 without a reservation on a random Wednesday evening and it was great. Sadly they did run out of fried fish so 3 of us who ordered fish and chips had to select new entrees but the server was friendly and explained what occurred and it was totally understandable. The prickly pear margarita was yummy! My party melt was meh. Fries were fine. The atmosphere made up for me not loving my sandwich. We ordered a bunch of appetizers that were tasty: shrimp in a cheese sauce, pretzel, nachos, and Irish potato skins. read more

Went on Sunday for breakfast. Sat outside and weather and view was fantastic. Service was friendly but slow. Lots of mistakes. Everyone thought their food was terrible: cold, tasteless, not cooked to order ... Won't be going back. Would be one star if weather and view weren't so pretty. read more

Terrific patio lunch with blue skies. Kelly was our server and she was great. I had the chicken salad on lettuce. It was really good. Also ordered fries which had a good seasoned flavor. Others in our group had patty melt and pulled pork. Both good but pork needed more bbq sauce. We tried fun margarita flight - great deal. A few things in order had to be straightened out but it was done quickly. Thank you Kelly read more

We went to watch the live music, which was great. We did not try the food since we had already eaten, but the fish and chips looked amazing. We also saw them serving the biggest soft pretzels. I thought it was a nice vibe, and the back patio was nice. The only downside is that the drinks are a bit pricey, and service was not the greatest. read more

I've been coming here for last three years. The food is really good! The service as with all restaurants depends on the server, some are new and learning, some have been there a long time. All are great and everyone goes out of their way for you. If it's busy just have patience and enjoy the view or the music- the owners are awesome and the regulars are their for a reason- because it's like our real life "Cheers". if you get the chance, stop by and say hi and get ready to feel like home! read more

If a pint of Guinness is what you want they have it here! Great menu, selections, also a kids menu. View on patio is worth the price of a at par food. Great beer selection. Plenty of indoor and outdoor tv's. Parking could get tough during busy times. Shepherds pie was a smaller portion than I expected, however it was very good, mix of lamb and beef, fresh ingredients and proper Dublinders cheese. We Yes t came up piping HOT. House made chips were very yummy. Fish and chips were very good, lightly seasoned great breading, however only came with one large fillet of fish. All in all good food friendly staff and priced well. read more
