Visited 5/25/2022 Great place to visit. The Hotel has a working bar with cold beer and cocktails and the restaurant has tasty food such as Buffalo Burgers, homemade potato chips, and much more on the menu. The inside has its walls and ceiling covered with $1.00 bills signed by lots of visitors over the years. When you visit go to the bar, sign your dollar bills and staple them among what is rumored to be over 1 million other bills hanging inside this historic hotel. Grab a cold one and a snack and take a bunch of pictures to show your friends back home. Enjoy My Friends. read more

The historic Oatman Hotel is actually a restaurant and ice cream/souvenir shop. It's best to break this one down: RESTAURANT - The service was verrrry slow. Yes, I should have been very aware that as one of two places to eat in a town that draws many tourists, service (as in what I'm used to at most places) that I take for granted can be hard to come by. The restaurant was nearly filled up by 11:30am, and it took me 20 minutes to get seated. For whatever reason, the host didn't see me and seated people who came in after me! But I didn't want to raise hell since it looked like they were very shortstaffed. I don't know how many people were in the place but it was getting packed. I wasn't really hungry, so I got the chili cheese fries plate, which was great. Server was very friendly and he apologized repeatedly for my wait. Wish I woulda gotten the burro ears, as it is their specialty. (No, they are not real ears!) HISTORY - But on the flip side, it is definitely worth stopping to take a look around inside the place. It was originally called the Durlin Hotel, and it has stood in Oatman since 1924 (well, actually it was built in 1901, but was destroyed by fire in 1921 and eventually rebuilt). Oatman has its own interesting history, with this building being no exception. This is where movie stars Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their honeymoon after getting married in nearby Kingman, Arizona. You can still view their room upstairs, which has been restored to what it may have looked like in the late-1930s. It is said that their giggles haunt the building at night, as well as other spirits. Gable actually returned to the hotel in later years to play poker with the miners. So about the "dollar bills thing": it was common for miners who drank at this place to leave their dollar bills on the wall and ceiling with their names on them just in case they were short on cash. The tradition still continues today, with hundreds of $1 bills all over the place! Yes, I left my mark. I even saw $5 and $20 bills on the wall too. Don't be that person who steals them. read more

Great atmosphere and food is very good! I recommend the burro ears with garlic and cheese to start!

I went to the restaurant at around 2:00 with a group of people and we got an open table outside right away. The tables were practically falling apart and the menus haven't been cleaned since the day they opened, however we were hungry and it's the only restaurant in town. The waitress was nice enough at first and we ordered our food with our drinks right when she showed up hoping to be out quickly. We got our drinks right away and decorated a few dollars to hang up however after waiting over an hour and still not receiving our food it started getting colder out and we asked to move inside. The waitress declined our request to move so we stayed put after being promised our food would be out within the next couple minutes. Now at 3:30 hungry and cold we went inside to hang up our dollars and planed on leaving. All of a sudden tables were open and we were offered a warmer place to sit down. Once we got settled the waitresses started talking shit about us for moving and made it clear with dirty looks and not so quietly speaking about it directly behind us. We ordered 7 plates and no more than 2 came out at a time. The buffalo burger we ordered took almost 2 and a half hours to come out. We didn't get our check till after 5:00 The portions and food were mediocre, definitely not worth the wait. The cleanliness overall was concerning as we never saw a wet cloth come out to clean a table nor any trash on the floor be picked up. We got charged a 18% gratuity with under 8 people in our group after a waitress overheard a comment made about not leaving a tip. Professionalism, cleanliness, respect, good food in general, dont expect any of it here! You reap what u sow and thoes waitresses need a good donkey kick!! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. The staff was rude to say the least. Food came out not how we ordered as was charge for it. I couldn't get a soda refill from the 2 ladies bring out our food and was told "where not your server". They also made a loud announcement outside to everyone about something that supposedly occurred at 1 table vs addressing the one table. How rude was that. Totally unprofessional. I will never go back and recommend no one ever go there. read more

This was a fun place to stop for lunch. So many surfaces are covered with money, most with notes identifying the people that placed the bills. This is a popular place immediately following the bank robbery shoot out on the street outside. Watch your footing , this is an old building with small elevation changes marked with yellow paint. I have dietary restrictions so found the chicken on my salad to be very try. DH had a burger and it was okay. The fries were coated and crispy. read more

Oatman Hotel - American Near Me - Oatman, Arizona

First of all, this is a tourist attraction town, and the Oatman Hotel is the only place in town to get something to eat. If you come on a weekend, it will be packed, and you may have to wait for a table. The food is nothing to rave about. Pretty basic sandwiches, french fries, potato chips, etc etc. It's the atmosphere that people come here for. There are dollar bills from passing visitors stapled up all over the inside of the bar and restaurant. There are markers and a stapler on the counter so you can help yourself and leave your mark behind. As of 3 months ago (give or take) the place is said to have approximately half a million in dollars hanging up. You can see that some are now rotting. It was not full when we passed through on a Monday early afternoon, so we had our choice of where to sit, and were greeted immediately upon walking in. Brandy, our server was as cute as a button and very nice. The prices are reasonable for it being a tourist destination. read more

What a place, what a town, what a FUN place to explore and kick back to the old West times. We were out-of-towners in Bullhead City and all the natives told us to explore Oatman. We didn't know what to expect, but what a great time it was! We ended up in the Oatman Hotel and when we walked in, the ambiance, décor, and just pure historic aurora made us want to sit down and enjoy a nice meal together. It was FANTASTIC. The Burro Ears are a must, the Buffalo Burger was so flavorful, and the staff was top notch. If you're on your way to explore Oatman, make the Hotel & Saloon a mandatory stop! read more

Ambiance is phenomenal!!! They had a live music performer singing and dollar bills look like moss on the walls. Their carrot cake is fantastic. Had the buffalo burger with chips. Buffalo burger was decent. Boyfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and it was very good! His came with burro ears and they were homemade chips with a sauce of salsa and sour cream. This place is located on one of the most amazing streets ever filled with gunfights if you time it right and groovy shopping and Wild West goodness. read more

Went in on Sunday and was the only person aside from I suppose the hostess and her 2 friends and a baby and 2 other workers. I walked in and looked around at all the dollars for a few mins and then walked up to where the female worker was and she looked at me said nothing. I then said so do I sit wherever or ?? She said if your here for breakfast sit on that side of the room. I said is breakfast all thats being served at this time she said yes. I went to sit down waited for a menu was brought water a few mins later and then the "hostess" came back I let her know I was ready to order she said someone else will come take my order. I waited while watching perhaps the person who was to come take my order talk to her friends and the baby and no one to take my order Also watched the men with the baby (the friends) stand in front of the cooler with the beer in it trying to decide what beer they wanted and letting the baby decide for them Really disappointing service Never did order I went to the restroom and then just left I couldnt imagine how long Id have to wait for my food when it was taking that long to even try to order it Was super hungry and wanted to support the local business but wasnt going to wait longer than I already had when it wasnt busy at all read more

Fun spot! Good ice cream and cool character. The bills on the walls and ceilings. The people are great too

Can you say great ambience? Great burgers! Super friendly service! An absolutely wonderful time! We were recommended to the restaurant by the resident blacksmith and we're extremely happy we went! Enjoyed a double buffalo burger, which absolutely ROCKED! Great town for tourists and bargain hunters alike! The ambience here was wonderful with thousands and thousands of one dollar bills hanging on the walls that were signed by previous customers. Probably not a town I'd like to visit in the middle of summer, but nonetheless, the temperatures in April were fantastic. The resident donkeys were fantastic. Everyone and all the artisan shops were super friendly. Just a wonderful place to play tourist! Highly recommend to all! read more

Oatman hotel, it's where Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their Wedding night in 1939. It's had a few different names and they say Oatie's ghost still lives there. I had the pulled pork sandwich with burro ears and coleslaw. My husband had the smoking gun burger(open face chili burger), I would recommend both of those in our waitress Patty was great. Hotel and saloon was very interesting, it literally is covered wall-to-wall and now they're working on covering the ceiling with dollar bills. The one negative that we had here is that we both had ordered a virgin Mary, A virgin Mary, meaning there was no alcohol in the drink and they still charge seven dollars each! What a rip! It's a ghost town with a lot of history, cute shops and wild burro all around. I WOULD go back. read more

Always such a fun experience coming to Oatman. We make sure to always stop at the Oatman Hotel and have a drink and meal here. The food is good and the drinks are cold. Perfect place to cool off in the summer months up here and enjoy the music and hustle and bustle of a old Town saloon. If anyone comes to visit us we are always making up trip up to show them this awesome little town. We highly recommend visiting and stopping in here for lunch. Service is great and the experience is fun! Also the awesome bartender participates in the western shoot out! Will not disappoint!! read more

The kids enjoyed it. There's also an ice cream shop next to the restaurant we all got ice cream after the show. read more

We came to Oatman to check things out and to get away from the asphalt and concrete of the city life. Everything in this town is dirty, old, rickety... and amazing! We enjoyed the food at this place. I had the stinky burger (LOTS OF CHOPPED GARLIC) and hubbie had the pulled pork sandwich. Both were pretty good. We also ordered the fried zucchini (as we do at almost every new place we try). The zucchini was over cooked, but we got lots of it. The 'burro ears' are perfectly crisp. There was a Wild West shootout going on while we were here. Kitschy cool. Caution; there are no ADA ramps or regulations here. Not an issue for me, but there was a lady here who couldn't access a restroom without going up steps. Part of the charm, but worth mentioning. read more

It was our first time eating there...excellent service; really amazing server. Food was good. Full bar. Good kid's menu. Super kitchy...prices were "ok" (a bit high but to be expected in a tourist location). Pulled pork was excellent, chicken tenders were really good...the soup wasn't great so I won't do that again. But we will be back; a fun experience. read more

My guy and I stopped on a road trip for the famed burro's ears. We were told to seat ourselves, then we proceeded to wait over 20 minutes for service. Our server was friendly, major plus, but the burro's ears (homemade chips) were overcooked; more than half were inedible. The atmosphere was fun, though, with wall to wall dollar bills adorning the restaurant. read more

I would have rated this place better, but there's next to no social distancing with the tables (some are a bit farther away from others - we got lucky grabbing one of those - but many are very close together and they allow people to sit themselves wherever). None of the staff was wearing masks. I had a tuna melt that was honestly surprisingly good considering the overall atmosphere. For my side I tried the burro ears - they're just plain homemade chips. Not bad, but nothing overly special. Our food came quickly but the waitress pretty much acted like our very existence was a huge bother to her. I would normally chalk this up to her having a bad day and brush it off (we didn't make any special requests or anything), but she was much more pleasant to some people who came wandering in asking questions while we were eating. Honestly, if it weren't for the pretty darn good tuna melt and the overall neat experience of eating in a somewhat historic place, I'd be giving Oatman Hotel two stars rather than three. read more

There were limited choices here in Oatman in terms of restaurants and menu options. If you are looking for salads, you are out of luck. The vegetables here are potatoes, lettuce garnish, onions and dill pickles and add a glass of orange juice for your plant base options. Otherwise the American style breakfast reigns supreme here and was quite good. Interesting decor of dollar bill's; Americana kitch at it's best in mining ghost town full of adorable asses walking all over town. The burros were a unique tourist attraction, tamer than house cats, they don't mind being petted. These are not feral burros. My friends said they are feral because they are not working animals to which I said they work as tourist attraction and doing a damn good job. read more

Normally we love this place. Great ambience, food, drink, etc. but recently I took some young family members there who are 21 years old. The waitress carded her, as we expected. She had a vertical California license which showed she was 21. The waitress said they can't accept the vertical one, and that it was illegal for them to accept it. WRONG. Someone this place believes what has been changed back in 2016.
