    Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with Cowboy fries
    Christopher R.

    On our way back from Tortilla Flats, found this gem. Quick service, friendly staff and it has a very chill atmosphere. We came during lunch but they do have live music everyday in the afternoon. Our waitress was attentive, quick and friendly. We ordered fried pickles for appetizer, very crunchy with great batter flavor. For our entrees, ordered wings, hot honey chicken sandwich and rip eye dip. Everyone agreed that the food was outstanding. Wings were crispy and flavorful. Hot honey chicken sandwich wasn't super hot but did have a kick and the ribeye dip was tender and the au jus had a rich meaty flavor. Cowboy fries with all is a must and we left with fried dough fries. So good!!! If you're in the area and looking for a great spot, this is the place to go!!

    Second visit for me.... Thursday around 5pm not busy and the noise level was low. We started with an order of fried pickles. They were very good, ranch dressing was tasty but a little runny. I ordered Fish & Chips it came with coleslaw and fries. It came with 2 thick fillets of battered fish (not a cornmeal coating). It was hot and crunchy. The coleslaw tasted like it had too much mayonnaise, I didn't care for it. I'll be back, I love the pretzel bites.

    Came here for my birthday dinner with family & it was amazing. Staff, food & cleanliness were a 10! Live music starts at 8 so unfortunately we missed that but we will definitely stick around a little later next time.

    Coming down from the Globe/Miami area and was craving chicken wings and beer so I searched via Yelp and Rusty Buckle came up so we gave it a try on a Tuesday afternoon. Great place!! I love that the bar is bright and also offers outdoor seating. Took a little while to get my first beee but from then on the service was great. Ordered the dry rub wings and a side order of fries. The fries had a wonderful seasoning on them not just salt and pepper. Loves it!! The wings were meaty and the seasoning had just a touch of heat that made them so delicious!! Happy hour is from open til 7. They also have live music Fri Sat and Sun. The menu has other great items I want to try so I will definitely be back.

    Since opening, this location has been on my radar as I've both heard from locals in town and fellow Yelpers that this place was great. This building seems to rotate businesses, and after trying, I really hope they remain in this location! Based on the crowd on a Wednesday night, and the lively atmosphere, I'm sure they will for years to come! MAJOR PROPS! My friend is celiac and they not just accommodated, but the manager came to speak with her who was also celiac. Hands down the BEST service in Apache Junction regarding dietary restrictions and allergies. What we ordered: - Pair of Prickly Pear Margarita: loved the sweet and slight tart flavor, definitely have another when I return. A great beverage to toast to life and catch up with a friend. - Southwest Chicken Salad (modifications to be gluten-free safe): my friend said it was delicious, and loved that she could eat with confidence after speaking with the manager - Sonoran Burger: they will only cook to medium - medium well due to a flattop, but it was still a tasty burger! Loved the toppings it came with, and a great flavor profile with those combination of ingredients. We both said we'd return and see each other once a month, so I may be back soon! Heck, plan to recommend to my dad and boyfriend as we always love supporting local.

    Staying with friends in Apache Junction and they took us here for dinner. We had a lovely time. This is a very popular restaurant with live music and good food. The service was amazing. I had the prime rib dip with coleslaw, someone had the prime rib sliders with the fries. One person had the club sandwich and another had the chili. Everyone was very satisfied. Highly recommend! Just expect or wait.

    Had a delicious lunch here with a group of 10 on the patio. We didn't have to wait to be seated, and could hear the live music from our table. All of us enjoyed our food and drinks immensely, and our service was great!

    Brat

    After heading back to Phoenix from Boyce Thompson Arboretum, we stopped here for a late lunch/early dinner. The happy hour beer deals were good and the beer was cold. The service was decent but I did notice that our server seemed to have a pretty large number of tables. They have a very large patio with a great view of the mountains and a garage door type window that opens to the inside. They have bands on the weekend but we still got to enjoy a lot of good country music. The food wasn't special. We had the pickle chips with spicy ranch (that costs $1.00), beer brat with fries, and classic burger with a side salad. Nothing was hot or even warm honestly. Our food all came out together so I'm not sure if it just sat there or it's never to temperature. The flavors were really good so it would have been much better hot. The burger and brat were both somewhat dry and it took multiple people and multiple requests to get ketchup and extra mustard. I wouldn't come out of my way to stop here again but might if I was passing through or if there was live music.

    12/ 30/26 First visit Parking 5/5 Arrived at ~1:30 was still busy but easily found parking in their private lot. Atmosphere. 5/5 Great country vibe. Wall Art & photos set the theme for this popular Apache Junction watering hole. Nice main dining room that includes a large bar patrons can park their boots at from both the indoor dining area and the outdoor patio. A live band space sits at the dance floor. The outside patio is fairly large with picnic and standard tables many with the view of the Superstition Mountains. Heaters are scattered around to help during cooler nights. Service 5/5 Our server today was Jasmine. She had our beverage orders in quickly and returned to get our entrees going. Great attentive service throughout our visit. She gave us the scoop on the live entertainment and dancing which is what I'm returning for. Food 5/5 My wife decided to try the Prime-rib sliders with a dinner salad and substituted in onion rings. I chose from their burger offerings, picking the Sonoran burger. Wonderful mix of flavors from the chipotle aioli, roasted hatch chiles and jalapeños served on a nicely grilled bun with a tad of roasting. Beautiful burger. My side also included the onion rings and Dinner salad and we both picked the house vinaigrette. All delicious. I was able to sample the sliders , OMgosh yes! Both agreed we would order the same thing next visit but I want to checkout the Trail boss burger. So next visit will be for diner when the band gets to playing and the dancers get to boot-scooting! Get your boots to Apache Junction's Rusty Buckle Salon my Friends-

    Onion rings were delicious

    Hit the Rusty Buckle Saloon on a Sunday afternoon and this place is the real deal! Rolled in and grabbed a table in their massive, shaded beer garden--one of the best outdoor setups in the Valley. Live country music at the perfect volume; great chill vibe with plenty of people but never felt crowded. Food was killer all around. The chili is legendary: rich, smoky, hearty with a nice slow burn; easily top-3 chili I've ever had in Arizona. My friends demolished the sliders and wouldn't shut up about how juicy and flavorful they were (that house sauce is money). I also ordered the beer-brined chicken wings and holy cow; these things are massive! Meaty, fall-off-the-bone tender. Best wings I've had in a long time; could've eaten two orders by myself. Cold craft beers on tap, friendly, service, fair prices, and that authentic Arizona saloon atmosphere without feeling rundown. Everything was spot-on clean too. Whether you're local or just cruising the Apache Trail, the Rusty Buckle is 100% worth the trip. Awesome food, ice-cold drinks, live music, and that huge patio make it a new favorite.

    RB Prime Ribeye Dip
    Asa P.

    Finally made it to @rustybucklesaloon thanks to a good friend @tastesofaz for inviting me to dinner. This one had been on my list for quite some time now. Apache Junction has a neighborhood gem! Chef @mark_coakley is serving up some next level, good ol' southern bar eats that didn't disappoint. What a way to unwind and enjoy the vibe with friends or family. My highlight was the Prickly Pear Margarita. Just what I needed after a long days work. You can taste the prickly flavor and it packs a punch. Now that's a drank! The RB Prime Rib Dip took the win for me. The bread was perfectly toasted, prime rib was seasoned, juicy and packed inside the toasted bun. Then they topped it with melted provolone all warm and bubbly on the top as they bring it to the table. Now dip that into that flavorful Au jus. Damn! My tastebuds were excited. All I was missing was a little horseradish on the side or maybe a garlic aïoli smeared up in that warm toasty bun. Now the Apple Pie.... don't event get me started. Me fought over the last few bites at home. The perfect scratch made buttery crust, beautiful lattice work, fresh warm cinnamon apples all sweetened up and delicious. Baked and served with vanilla ice cream.

    This place was packed when we first went in! They had us seating immediately though so that was really nice. It's a loud place but that's to be expected from a popular place. They had live music too which is nice. The food was pretty good too! It just took a while but again it was busy and we had a pretty large party.

    Another great stop while biking the area. Just happened to be going by and stopped in. We enjoyed the outdoor area and had great service. The wings were very well seasoned and tasty. The rattlesnake bites (fried jalapeños with cheese) were also good. I enjoyed a local lager. Sometimes called a dive bar but really nice place.

I had the Huss Scottsdale Blonde which is a local brand out of Tempe, Arizona. My husband had the Pilsner 42 which is brewed by Grand Canyon Beverage Company (AZ) in honor of Pat Tillman. NOTE- A portion of the proceeds from this beer is donated to the Pat Tillman Foundation. That's a HUGE plus! Also, this franchise is dedicated to honoring our local vets and first responders too! "First Responder Wednesdays"! *Every Wednesday, the establishment graciously presents 15% off for ALL first responders. Atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, you will feel welcome to hang around and enjoy many different beverages. Additionally, they extend crowlers of your favorite brews to purchase & take home as well. Cheese Curds appetizer was good. That's all we had here this visit. Menu had some great looking burgers & sandwiches. They have fresh salads, flatbreads and featured favorites from fish & chips to "kicking off" with some delicious starters! Eager to coming back and try one of their burgers next time!

    This location is situated in a plaza with other businesses, but ample parking on a Sunday early…read moreevening. Immediately upon entering, we were greeted and advised to find a seat where we'd like. Their layout is typical of a sports bar with the usual decor, but loved having both high and low top seats as some only have high top/bar seating. Our server Nicole was super friendly and offered suggestions as it was my boyfriend's first time to a Mr Brews. I had been to another location in Mesa, so we decided to stop at this one to satisfy our burger craving as I liked their ranch dressing previously. What We Ordered: ~ Beef Sliders: My boyfriend remarked the meat was pretty bland, and lacked seasoning. Still enjoyable, but nothing standout flavor wise. ~ Build Your Own Burger (lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, fried egg +$2, and red pepper aioli +$.99 on the side): The aioli was a miss entirely, and I'm so glad our server suggested getting on the side. Besides that, I really enjoyed my burger and fries. Great they offer a way to create your own, because when dining out, there isn't always one that includes everything you'd want. ~ Moose Drool Brown Ale: My boyfriend really enjoyed, but not a fan personally. I prefer either a Stout/Porter or a Sour. ~ Coke: A classic with a burger! Overall, a fairly solid burger though nothing truly spectacular. A great choice if local, and I will say the chain of restaurants makes amazing cheese curds. We almost got this visit, but had smaller appetites.

    Still a great beer selection but... isn't this a sports bar???…read more They don't have the NFL package. Seriously like they just have what you could watch at home. A chain originally from Wisconsin, but don't come here for the Packers game!!! Enjoy the cheese curds while you don't watch the game... I'll still come in. Just not on Sundays. I like this place, seriously. Or maybe I just want to like it too much?
