Great Mexican food! The chimichanga was delicious! The green sauce is good. Friendly service. read more

We went for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. My friend had the chicken fried steak special, served with mashed potatoes and corn. She said it was good. I had the fish & chips. The fish was okay, one piece over-cooked. The fries were meh and the cole slaw the same. Our server, Diana was very pleasant & attentive. The dining room was clean, the restrooms were clean. Overall, a decent experience, I just chose the wrong dish. Prices were typical for this type of restaurant (bar & grill). read more

Doesn't have anything except vanilla ice cream that is soy free. Given my allergies I cannot recommend here for that allergen. I will say they were nice enough to check ingredients on things so could be worth trying with other allergens. My family seemed to like their food. Editing from 3 to 4 stars because all of family raved about their food. They had chicken enchiladas with green chile, quesadilla, and chicken fried steak with chicken noodle soup. read more

Good food, fast and friendly service. A full bar was nice. The best friend chicken I have had, that was not in the actual South.

If you ask my son, this is the best place to get shrimp tacos and a sourdough burger! The chile relleno wasn't my favorite, but the customer service and atmosphere were excellent. Overall, it's a great place to eat, and we'd definitely come back. read more

Wonderful service, good hamburgers. Ortega Chile burger really good. Reasonably priced. Nice attentive staff.

Don't get the salad bar. Chicken fried steak was quite small and flavorless. Service was good. Ambiance is nonexistent. read more

Best green chili sauce ever. Fantastic girls working there. Very attentive to your every need.

Food was good but service was crap!!! I used to go there all the time when I grew up there and loved it However after a visit to see family I wanted to take my grandkids was very disappointed they double charged for each meal talked to manager but refused to change it. Have let all family members (Eagar's/Rogers) that still live there about the problem and they have warned others. Ambiance no such thing ther at all read more

Great American/Mexican comfort food spot with a full bar and dog-friendly patio. Super clean bathroom. Food came out very fast -- I had a bean burrito that was tasty and satisfying (ate the whole plate!). The patio was a little warm in direct sun, but we adjusted and my dog stayed cool. Service was very friendly. Overall a solid 3-star experience -- I liked it, would come again if other options weren't available. Great for pet-friendly travelers! read more

Safire Restaurant - Bean and cheese burrito. - American Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

We stumbled upon this place because it was Sunday late afternoon and all the other restaurants in town were closed. I'm so happy we did! We ordered the San Juan style tacos, which were delicious with their homemade salsa. We also had a black & blue burger, which was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. The blue cheese was so delicious and the meat tasted like it was locally sourced. So good!!! Food came out quickly. The service was decent. Cannot wait to go back and get another burger. read more

I love visiting here and going to the Safire for breakfast! Great pancakes! I love to drink coffee and watch the snow. Not a fancy place.... But comfy and great cafe style food and I love the coffee! read more

Wouldn't go back, food was lacking in flavor, I watched staff standing around, talking with each other and had to wait awhile before they decided to bring me a menu then wait just as long before they came to take my order, wouldn't have been bad if they were busy but there were only 3 other people in the place and they already had their food. Once I got the food they never came back by to check or even refill my water just stood around talking like a bunch of girls in high school. Atmosphere didn't seem bad and the place was clean, I'll give it that, but I'll never go back. read more

The food, the service & the overall feel of this restaurant is fabulous. This is a fantastic gem in a cute small town. read more

I had the taco plate with shredded beef and it was tasty. They offer tacos San Juan style, which I am told is like a hamburger patty, or solid chunk of ground beef, instead of crumbled, but I decided shredded was best. This place looks like your best bet would be a steak, but our food was hot and tasty, the atmosphere was upbeat and the service was friendly and efficient. I would return next time I stay in Springerville. read more

Blah! Arrived to dinner at 545pm on a Friday waited 20 minutes after sitting to get a drink order, then another 10ish for food order. Waitress seemed annoyed and said sorry they are busy. Busy? What is the definition of busy? Where we were sitting next to the buffet there were 8 tables 2 we're already eating, 1 was paying and 3 were empty then us .... So not sure Price was alright $60 for 2 people for dinner and drinks seems to be standard price. Food not to exciting I guess for the price I wanted a little more not sure what it just wasn't a thrill. Now since I can't pin point an issue a 3 star seems appropriate as it might have been an off night or it might be the norm I dunno. Maybe I'll try again maybe not not sure. read more

Food was ok. Chip were stale. My problem was I ordered a burger. It came with no mayo etc. when I asked for mayo, they charged me .75 for a small cup. Didn't realize this was their policy. Prices weren't cheap. read more

We purchased dinner through a phone order on Father's Day, 202, been to safire multiple times. it's always been kind of a rough experience. But it is what it is when you live in a small town. This will probably be the last time we go there, though. My daughter started feeling sick after eating the fish and Chips so I took a bite now I feel ill. I think it's because the oil used to fry was just too old and used too much ignoring the other facts that the food we picked up was ice cold when we got it after only 10 minutes of waiting. They lost our ticket and had to rewrite the ticket before we could even pick up our food. Which had already been paid for. the cold slaw, that came with the fish and chips had no Mayonnaise on it. The bread for my daughter's Turkey club sandwich was not toasted. Everything was very subpar, putting all that aside service has always been terrible. There you go in, you get attitude. You learn to deal with it. You learn to accept it. It is what it is, like I said small town, so very hard To hire and retain anyone up here. But since we feel ill, we are not going to return to safire. Sad to say. read more

Worst food, service and dinning experience ever. Will not return or recommend...I took my top sirloin home for dog, the sour cream was spicy hot and the cottage cheese not real dairy. read more

Stopped by after hiking in the white mountains and we were pleasantly surprised by all of the food. We sat on the patio with our dog and the water bowl for him was a nice touch. Service was attentive even at a weird time on a weekday. The chips and salsa were really good, which is always appreciated and our server was quick to top off both. We got a double cheeseburger, the chicken tenders and a Chile relleno on the side (we just hiked so we were hungry). All were quite good but the relleno was much better than expected and we agreed that we would try their Mexican next time we came back. Very reasonable prices with large portions and a sensible menu, all good signs for a classic restaurant in a beautiful town. Can't wait to come back. read more

Interesting little place with lots of American decor... service was nothing special. I got the buffalo chicken salad and my husband got the fish and chips. He said it was pretty bad but still ate it. My salad was so saucy it was inedible. I took two bites and politely let the server know that I didn't like it and requested to send it back and have it taken off the bill. She said that they couldn't take it off the bill but offered to give us a discount. The "discount" was $1. Terrible experience and food. read more

We waited 15 minutes to be seated. Then we waited 30 minutes to come to our table and at least get a drink order. We finally decided to go find another place. As we left three waitresses were standing around talking. The buffet looked like it had been there a while and not much was left. The salad bar didn't even have lettuce. It was disappointing because back in May it was an excellent place to eat. read more

Best breakfast in town. Great service and you can float a horseshoe in the coffee. I give it 5 pass the baskets please !

I could have sworn that I took a picture of my beautiful enchilada plate but it is no where to be found in my camera roll, so apparently I smashed my food so fast, I forgot to snap a picture. Anyhow ... the food was good. I had a red and a green chicken enchilada with with a side of rice and beans. While it was good, the enchilada lacked the spice/heat I might expect. They were also a little light on the chicken but that could be a cost savings thing due to Covid. I know a lot of businesses are taking a hit and need to make it up somehow so no harm no foul there. The beans and rice were authentic. The Steak was AMAZING! Who would expect delicious steak from a little place like this. I am not sure if it was a fluke but there was certainly no need for A1 sauce here, the seasoning was perfect. The waitress was super sweet and witty/sarcastic in a good way. She made me chuckle and smile quite a few times. The sad truth is more often than not, the weight staff sucks and you can tell they just want to get in and out but could care less about you. That was not the vibe I got from this place, so kudos to them for hiring someone with respect and a personality!! I would stop back in here again for the service alone, the food is just a plus. read more

This was an excellent stop for lunch. The food was great, the service attentive and made our group feel special for a birthday. The variety was a little daunting, as that can sometimes mean not everything is good, but not here! There are no bad options! Enjoy the chips and salsa to start and don't shy away from the steak and shrimp. The decor and feel was true western all the way and very relaxed. read more

We were driving through town and looking for a good spot to stop for breakfast. I was super happy with our choice. I got the morning melt, which was a delicious egg, tomato, and cheese sandwich served on sourdough. It was very tasty. my husband ordered a breakfast skillet. He thought it was good, but I think I had the better dish. The coffee was pretty good and our server was very nice. The food came out really fast too! When you visit, don't be tempted by the cinnamon roll. It is a sweet treat, but I think most might be disappointed. It was dry and lacked that hot gooey center that make a cinnamon roll irresistible. We were happy overall and would definitely go back. read more

Safire Restaurant - The morning melt - American Near Me - Springerville, Arizona

Our family has a summer house near Springerville and any time we go up north, we look forward to eating breakfast at Safire Restaurant. We were bummed out when this location closed a few years ago so we were excited to see Safire Restaurant has re-opened! We stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning and things appeared very much the same (good thing). But would the food be like what we remembered?! - YES! Huge portions & fresh tasting ingredients for a low price - who doesn't want a breakfast burrito smothered in New Mexico style green chile? All while sitting in the same room John Wayne used to stop in & eat. If you have never been to Safire Restaurant, go try it and if you've tried Safire Restaurant in the past but not since it's reopened- go try it again today! read more

Wow, was advised by local motel desk clerk that this is a great place to eat, NOT! The one star is for the fresh salsa with the chips, not fresh. One star for the waitress, she was cute and and answered truthfully. Okay, fried chicken, DRY and well Dry! My chili relleno was not made fresh, per waitress and my experience, no flavor and the beans, soupy and flavorless, rice same ole stuff from any not fresh kitchen. And that was dinner! Skipped breakfast next day, went to Mac dons, got egg sandwich, hate Mac dons but better than Safire! I was looking forward to the trip and way so disappointed! The motel next door was also no winner! read more

Love this place, very good food, big selection, friendly, efficient service and a real value for your money.

My husband and I stopped in on our way from Denver to Tucson. When Jimi greeted us, we knew it was going to be a great experience. We were there mid-afternoon and so were pleasantly surprised at the traffic that came in at that time of day. It seems a lot of locals go there (the waitstaff knew them), which is always a good sign! The menu was extensive and the prices were reasonable: hubby ordered the beef chimichanga (which he raved about) and I ordered the taco salad (very good) - they make their taco shells fresh every day. The service was exceptional. Jimi was able to give us menu recommendations and she was very engaging. We are now trying to figure out how we can make a trip back once we take up residence in Tucson! Safire Restaurant is a gem. Don't waste your time going to any chain fast food places in the area. Safire and their staff will not disappoint. read more

Mother in law had a horrible experience. She was just trying to have a nice Birthday breakfast for my father in law. This morning we went to Safire restaurant. The waitress informed me that her father the cook was MAD because I changed my order to. Beans instead of hash brown and I asked for 1 egg NOT 2 and I asked my Ham to be cold not warm. Oh and she tells me " your picky " FYI if I am paying for it DAMN rights I should ask for it the way I like it. Even if the WAITRESS IS THE OWNERS DAUGHTER. P.S. never been treated so RUDELY !! read more
