    Wow for a small little tourist town, the food is great here! I enjoyed my Pull pork sandwich and home made potato chips. My wife and dad enjoyed their chili hot dogs and the Mozzarella cheese sticks were good. Our waitress was very nice and provided great service we tipped her the 25% on the bill. You can't go wrong here, highly recommended for a nice lunch in Oatman!!!!

    They have ice cream, multiple flavors, cones, no seating. There is food offered with seating in the main area of the restaurant inside of the hotel. There is also a bar.

    A charming spot to enjoy a delicious bite, soak in the town's character, and spend time with the friendly donkeys. The food was tasty and the service warm and welcoming. The unique ambiance might just surprise you -- and don't forget to leave a dollar behind!

    Listen- I'm new 'round these parts, so I'm not entirely sure if this still operates as a place to hang your hat or showing off something that once was. The place is plenty cool. The restaurant has real dollar bills wallpapering the place top to bottom. How they don't all fall off is beyond me, but if you pull them off you get your thumbs cut off! Or is that only in Vegas? Anyway, the menu is straightforward and i had one of the best tasting burgers during my visit. Couple that with some old west hospitality and you've got yourself a very enjoyable day. We love the Burros, they're sweet. Except for the one that stole by bag of candy! lol. Oatman as a whole was such a fun AND ICONIC place. Akin to the old Bonnie Springs in Nevada they have a 'shootout' show and many old timey shops where you can buy tokens of remembrance of your visit. i cannot stop thinking about this town and how i want to go back,

    Explored the town of Oatman Arizona to see the famous burros and have lunch at the only restaurant in the town. The Oatman Hotel is a restaurant and bar right in the middle of the one street town. I ordered the burro ears as an appetizer, which are homemade potato chips with a homemade dipping sauce. The portion was so big, the two of us couldn't finish it. They were tasty and unique to this restaurant. I've had homemade potato chips before at other places, but these have a flavor that I can't really describe. My wife and I had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich. It was a good ole fashioned sandwich full of flavor. I wish I would have had the chili, but I learned about it after I already ate. People I spoke to raved about it. The staff was friendly and attentive to our table. Our drinks were filled and the order arrived quickly. Oatman is in the middle of nowhere. The food isn't cheap, but it's the only game in town. Given that it is a tourist trap, prices are a bit elevated, but it's not over the top like other places I've been. A party of two can expect a forty dollar or so check check (January 2025). After walking around the town and feeding the burros, we went back to the bar for a drink. It's a small bar with about 10 seats at the rail. Lots of creative drinks and a good selection of beer, both draft and bottle. The liquor selection is also pretty good and the bartender was knowledgeable in mixed drinks. This restaurant is unique. There are thousands of dollar bills on the walls and it decorated in old West curios. Definitely a place for those who like unique restaurants and old West towns.

    SMOKING GUN - open face burger with chili, cheese & onion

    While staying in Bullhead Cuty, we ventured to Oatman, along Old Route 66, and had lunch at the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Saloon. The vibe is super cool, with thousands of $1 bills COVERING the walls and ceiling. Our waitress, "Mo", was super personable and attentive. The food and drinks were very tasty. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

    Receipt of our meal in which we were upcharged for fries,onion rings....

    Nothing went well..Server was like here you go,nothing about the paying extra for fries,onion rings or what not..Like WTFriggen Hell..Didn't ask if it was one bill or separate..Then when went to pay Cashier she had an attitude..People BEWARE of your Bill..Check it out before you leave the restaurant..How can they do that to people..Been trying to call and ask for Manager but no response...

    Oatman Hotel Restaurant and Saloon If you go to Oatman Hotel Restaurant, do yourself a favor and order the Philly Quesadilla! It's basically a Philly sandwich but in a fried tortilla. Pair it with one of their special drinks like the Watermelon Refreshment. Tequila, watermelon pucker, sprite and lime. Or a Colorado River Blue. Rum, banana curacao, sprite and pineapple. The service here is a little slow because it is a very popular eating place. Guests have written their names on dollar bill then stapled them to the walls, ceiling, and posts. It is estimated that there may be as much as $600,000 stapled to those walls.

    The food was fine nothing to write home about but after a long day of driving around it's nice to be able to sit down and have a warm cooked meal and the sodas were great and refreshing. Service was friendly So the idea of having all of the dollar bills stapled to the walls is pretty cool but once you're actually sitting in a room surrounded by filthy dollar bills all over the walls you don't want to touch them.

    We found a very unique place in a very unique town. The service and food were excellent. The restaurant, bar, hotel and ice cream bar are covered in dollar bills. Totally cool atmosphere. They have regular restaurant style seating or a separate bar area. We had the Buffalo burger and it was magnificent. Big thick patty. I will definitely return when in the area

    Really, really good eats! Money, money, money everywhere! On the walls that is - its there wallpaper, not an inch spared. But that's the least of the story with the Oatman Hotel Restaurant & Bar! Even the owners call their joint a dive, and in an extremely good way it is. This multi-room, super tight spacing with throngs of customers jammed in tight seating, a humongous fantastic looking bar, in an old as sin building is a sight to behold. Historically and metaphorically speaking it was a treasure you would not think you would find when walking in the door! Their menu is extraordinary and huge, considering I think my kitchen is bigger than theirs. The offer a deluge of offerings from good old and new breakfast repasts to Boomtown Burgers and Road Runner chicken sammiches and Burro ears, to some more than tranquilizing and refreshing drinks like Donkey Pee, Desert Death, Snake Bite and Cactus juice, or an assortment of ice-cold beer bottles and drafts. My crowd that day were moderately tame in their orders, but I went for the fantastic medium rare rendition of the Axe & Pick - grilled mushrooms slathered on beef with onions and cheese, and it was great. The fries were also really good. The rest of the crew went for the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich and the Road Runner - a juicy grilled chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle side. Terrific! Amazingly, they offer vegetarian items too. I'm told this is the only resto in town, and by the looks of the crowd it appears to be so. So, if you are in town, it's a good idea to take you lunch early. This place is really good. Kudos to the hard-working staff, congratulations to the cramped kitchen staff, an excellent 'tender/server', and to all who make this a one-of-a-kind experience.

    What a great place to visit with friends. You can walk and shop through the town. I stopped by the Oatman hotel and had breakfast. The be pancakes were B large and the bar was great. Bartender was fun and informative our friends from out of town had a blast. Don't forget to spot at the cream shop located in the hotel. Thrifty ice cream is what is served.. I always stop by to get a scoop in a waffle cone. Nice old town look.

    Chuck Wagon did not disappoint! We were a party of 20 celebrating a March birthday. We called ahead…read moreand made dinner reservations. The tables were set and ready for us when we arrived. We were allowed to sit and order drinks while waiting for everyone to arrive. Our server, Chris, was amazing. He was very prompt with our drinks, very patient with all of us. Even a couple of latecomers. He answered all of our questions and requests with a smile and courtesy. The everyone remarked about the great service, plentiful servings and how good (tasteful) our food was. The food stars tonight were the taco salad, prime rib and teriyaki chicken. Perfectly prepared and yummy. Prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. Give them a try, you will be glad you did.

    After a long absence and driving carefully to avoid striking mostly black-clad Halloween…read moretrick-or-treaters on the roadway, Diane and I ventured here again on another Friday night soon after 7:30 p.m., this time for me to sample more Fish N Chips, and Diane some Fish N Shrimp with double Chips. Since I knew that the Fish N Chips offered here was no longer All You Can Eat, I opened with an add on: a refreshing Side Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing. It contained several small cubes of tomato, and helped to fill me up, as designed. Our entrees arrived soon afterward. Besides Coleslaw that had a good balance of creaminess and crunchiness, and nicely seasoned elongated French Fries, the battered fish on my plate consisted of three large batons of very heat-hot fish that tasted great dipped in provided Tartar Sauce after application of a little lemon juice and malt vinegar. One of my batons was a little undercooked; the other two were perfect. Diane liked her Fish N Chips as well, plus the Fried Shrimp, but wished that her shrimps had been battered rather than breaded. Our server, Chris G., did a great job of waiting on us, and quickly fulfilled our requests for ketchup, malt vinegar, and in Diane's case Coleslaw removed from her plate. Even though I was pretty full at meal's end, I knew that if we had gone to an AYCE place like Black Bear Diner across the Colorado River, I would have downed at least one more filet of fish. The Fish N Chips offering here was quite reasonably priced, so Diane and I discussed putting in another order to split, and decided to do so. Thus, I called our server over and tried to put in the order. Alas, I was told that no more fish remained--but not to worry about making a belated request, because the cook had informed him that no more fish remained right after receiving our initial order. So we couldn't have had more fish even if we had tried to add a third helping with our original order. Next time I will arrive earlier in the evening!

It wasn't a great first impression. She later came back inside, and I tried to catch her name, but she was moving quickly. I believe it started with a "B." She was such a negative vibe. As for the food: very disappointing. I ordered the fish and chips, and the fish was hard and overcooked. I love fish and chips, and honestly, this was the worst I've ever had. If you're someone who regularly eats this dish, you'll understand exactly what I mean. My husband ordered the prime rib, which was dry and lacked flavor. He was hungry, so he still ate it, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable. The cornbread was also dry. The only positive was our server. He was attentive and made sure we were taken care of slightly awkward, but still provided good service. The atmosphere was just okay, but there was a noticeable sewer-like smell, which made the experience even less pleasant. I've eaten at other Black Bear locations before with no issues, but this one was by far the worst. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this location and I won't be coming back!
