Visit the Grotto Café in the Red Truck Plaza. They had some of their luscious scones this morning,…read more I opted for the blueberry version. Their scones are quite good. Unlike some, there are slightly moist and chocked full of blueberries. I have to say, The Grotto continues to be one of my favorite hangouts. It is a chill vibe, staff are great, food is always on point. You're never rushed away. Shared parking lot.

Just moved to Arizona on Valentine's Day and already found a little gem I know I'll keep coming…read moreback to I've been to Grotto Cafe twice now. The first time I stopped in for a glass of wine just to check it out -- they were about to close, but the staff was so kind and welcoming. I even saw a roadrunner on the patio, which honestly felt like the perfect Arizona welcome moment I went back yesterday after a 4-mile hike at Jewel of Cave Creek and had a turkey, avocado, and bacon sandwich with chips -- simple but absolutely delicious. Fresh, satisfying, and exactly what I needed after being out on the trails. Prices are very reasonable too. The vibe here is what makes it special. It's busy but relaxed, cozy but open, and you order at the counter which keeps everything easy and casual. They offer coffee, wine, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and more -- perfect for a quick bite or a chill afternoon. I especially love the setting surrounded by the little Cave Creek shops. It has such a peaceful, welcoming energy and is a great spot to sit outside, enjoy lunch, and soak in the Arizona sunshine. Whether you're hiking nearby or just exploring the area, this is a wonderful place to stop. I'll definitely be back

The work group chose this place two days in a row for lunch. The almost only thing I basically will…read morenot eat ever is a sub sandwich. I did order the wrap version and had two different types each day. I will say the wraps were both good but my only thing was that I didn't expect for them to be cooked and be so hot since I don't ever eat sub sandwiches and especially since it was super hot outside after already working physically for many hours before we ate lunch there. The one thing you should know though is that the server that you place the order with is very nice and the food was good and the other guys with me did love their own sub sandwiches and the chips. I did like the simple little pink lemonade drink and this place was not anything negative at all for sure.

This is my 4th time here. Great outdoor seating, when it's not overly crowded or too hot…read more The food is great, the availability of menu items is disappointing. On a Friday morning they are out of menu items. We arrived at 10:40 and were not approached by a server until 11 am we were really disappointed because we wanted to order pancakes. My blue burger was great. My son enjoyed his breakfast bowl. My sister's BLT was short on bacon. My other sister ordered a seasonal fruit bowl... the strawberries were very bitter. I ordered the new seasonal tea; it was great. I wish our server would have had better follow up on our beverages. There are too many other restaurants in Cave Creek to settle for mediocre service and food.

Why the sad numbers? We go to the place once a week because the sandwiches rock…read more I go there weekly and get the Chicken Cholula. I go only with the chicken, green chilies, jalapeño ranch dressing and peppers. The rest I skipped. They slice the sandwich the right way, and man, it's damn good. People are very friendly. My wife always goes with the Southwest Chicken salad. She raves about it all the time. And she's a picky salad eater. Pricing is good, way lower than Baggins. Tastes better too.

Had lunch here today around 1:00pm. There were about four people in line in front of us, but the…read moreline was moving fairly quickly. There is just one line for ordering and then you seat yourself. They have a four or five tables inside and then some outside. It was a nice day so we sat outside. Hopefully they have umbrellas for the summer months. The gentleman that took our order was quite friendly and our sandwiches were out in under 10 minutes. They have a nice selection of meats, breads , and salads. We both chose the cranberry turkey sandwich and it was delicious. Mine was on fresh sourdough with a generous amount of turkey and fresh veggies. Two 6 inch sized sandwiches came to a little over $24. They do a surcharge if you use a credit card which I will avoid next time by using cash. I don't love this and wish businesses would just include it in the price of the food, however it is minimal. The service was very friendly and the quality of the food was worth the price.

Despite the shop's nightly close not being imminent, an employee was mopping the floor to the point where it was sopping wet. Before I even walked in, an employee at the cash register literally glared at me. This same employee both took my order and made my sub. Her disdain for my existence was translated in the preparation of my sub, which was sloppy and oozing avocado. Really disappointing. So sorry to the closing crew for bothering you!

We were staying in a VRBO in the boulders and ordered pizza from here instead of our usual place…read more The pizza was great! There seems to be a fair amount of Neapolitan style pizza places around there, and this was definitely more traditional, which is what we were looking for. Huge pizzas and huge slices. Everything was delicious and it was ready on time for pick up.

Cowboy Pizza is the real deal! I was a bit apprehensive…read moreabout just how good a pizza joint in Cave Creek could be, but I was so wrong. This was the best pizza I've had so far in Arizona. I ordered the Tuesday special--an XL two-topping pizza for $20. I ordered the pizza with half pepperoni and half sausage. It was crazy good! The crust was airy and delicious and you could tell they use top-notch ingredients. Plus, you definitely cannot beat the price! I'm looking forward to returning during my next visit to Cave Creek.

He also came up to my family's table and checked on us a couple of times and even brought us his wife's famous cake . Let me just say that I thought maybe it was just a chocolate cake but it was the best chocolate fudge cake I ever had so please donot skip out on it . We will definitely be returning back because not only was the food amazing but also the service . Thank you all.

First, let me start off by saying that the meats are absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend! we had…read moreribs, brisket and pulled chicken. Also the spicy green chili bread. Very hard it hurts. I did notice that the meat was sitting on top of a toasted slice of bread after I got halfway through it lol!! go ahead We were expecting a sit down experience with a waitress. That that's not how it is. You can sit down at any table you want, look over the menu, which is up at the register. There's one posted on the wall and there's paper ones you can take back to your table. There is no service. You go in and you order what you want to eat, pay for it and then you go to the bar pick up your food, and then service table to get your drinks, cutlery, sauces, napkins, etc. Make sure you get lots of napkins if you got the barbecue and sauce. You will be using lots of napkins. We got up three times to go get napkins lol! Everybody working there that I spoke to, really outgoing, friendly welcoming people. There's tables of every sizes and shapes as well as booths. The young woman who took our order did come to our table several times to make sure that everything was good. We had a little two year-old with us celebrating her birthday. She ate two of the brisket slices all by herself. All in all, this is a good place to go for lunch on Sunday. Especially if you like barbecued meats. The ribs were outstanding as well. Mostly meat. But you could have them with that on you them. They ask you when you're ordering how you'd like your ribs and brisket. We also had an order of french fries and they were pretty good. It's $18 for one meat and $24 for two meats. You also get two sides. It's a lot of food so we ended up sharing two plates. I forgot to get one of the paper menus. So I can't resubmit picture of them it. The prices have gone up, from the photos posted on this Yelp so be prepared for that. All in all it's pretty reasonable just don't expect any service. I still left them a good tip. I appreciate that someone came to check on us several times and they even comped me a free tea I guess because we spent a lot of money and it already left a nice tip. I really appreciated that. we ended up going back and ordering more food. If you're someone who enjoys good barbecue, this is a good place to go. I really have to complement the pork ribs. They were really well done lots of meat almost no fat and the sauces were pretty good. I apologize for not taking pictures of the food. it's challenging when dealing with a two-year-old lol!!

Stopped by Bull & Brew and ordered a hot matcha latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for…read more Smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. You can actually taste the matcha instead of it being drowned out by syrup. It had that clean, earthy flavor with a nice creamy finish. Temperature was perfect, and the texture was velvety with a good foam on top. It felt fresh and well made, not rushed. Great option if you're looking for something warm without going the coffee route. The atmosphere made it even better. Solid spot to get some work done, meet up with someone, or just sit and enjoy a quality drink. I'll definitely be ordering this again.
