We so enjoyed this wonderful restaurant, best in the area hands down! Nice atmosphere, excellent service, Molly and the best smoked prime rib steak ever! Drinks were perfect and the food all around was great. Excellent prime rib and a surprisingly good Chilean sea bass , in the desert! We're definitely coming back to explore this menu again. read more

Such a wonderful spot in Prescott! Great food-pork chop was just amazing-everything from scratch. Our server was so fun & friendly & one of the owners stopped by to make sure we loved our meal. This was family run and felt super cozy . It was evident there were many regulars there and what was really outstanding was that even though it was our first experience, , we felt as welcome as the many regulars there.. Can't wait to return!! read more

Went there for Mothers Day. My wife and I loved it. Our waiter was excellent. He was a young kid that had been there about a year. He got to wait on a table next to us with his Mom, Grandma and 2 other relatives there. Fun to watch. read more

Our "go to" place for an outstanding meal! Many visits and have never been disappointed! Highly recommend our recent meal of smoked ribeyes and blackened catfish with creole sauce. Don't miss the okra, although the grilled vegetables are delicious too. Wouldn't change a thing! Thank you for the great food and service! read more

The Beef Stroganoff at Badger's Den was a great choice. They have an extensive menu so we asked the waitress what she can recommend. My wife had the Chicken Alfredo and it was amazing as well. This is our second time at Badger's Den can't wait to go back again We started trying to eat at different restaurants around Prescott have gone back to a few favorites before moving on to others. If you haven't seen a post about your restaurant, I might not have been there yet. Prescott does have a great food scene, don't miss going to the Badger's Den. read more

We had an incredible experience with truly great food and amazing service from the moment we arrived. Our server, Stacy, went above and beyond by sharing the rich history of the place, even telling us how the dance floor has had over 150 years of shoes dancing across it, which made the evening feel even more special. We were there for a business dinner, and the vibe was perfectly fancy and professional, creating the perfect setting for meaningful conversation. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and served with such attention to detail, making the entire evening feel elegant, and memorable from start to finish. read more

The food is just "ok" portions are below average. The place is so loud , you can't have a conversation 2' feet away. When asked about the patio ? They didn't want to disrupt where the staff takes a break . Dow Doubt I'll drive out that far to see bar flies and attitudes and just ok food. Just saying . The service was good ! Management and food have alot to be considered. read more

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PLACE AND EXPERIENCE! We were a group of 6 on our first visit, but it will DEFINITELY not be our last! We made a reservation earlier in the day and were promptly seated when we arrived. We ordered varied dishes and were all WOWed at the flavor and presentation. Michael was an attentive server and Ryan and Pat, the owners, came by to welcome us and ask how our meal was going. So, so hospitable! We will be back and will recommend to EVERYONE! read more

The steak was delicious and I had the lobster tail. The ambience is fun and they recognize your birthday with a Table sign... unfortunately they were all out of carrot cake and I was really craving a piece for my birthday. read more

We drove up to Prescott, Arizona yesterday for the first time so I wasn't familiar with the area. I opened Yelp to see what looked good for lunch. The Badger's Den caught my eye because of its high rating and cool name. I also read reviews on the brisket being excellent. A brisket sandwich sounded really good so we headed over at 3 PM. I'm thankful for Yelp because I would never have noticed this spot without it. It's easy to drive by because there isn't really a large sign out front. It's a nondescript red painted rectangular building. I was speaking to one of the waitresses about the history of the restaurant and she said that the current owner used to own a food truck, The Hungry Badger, and then became head chef here. When the owners needed to sell, he bought the place and continues to cook here. I loved the ambience and energy when we walked in. It did sort of feel like a badger's den with rich leather and dark browns and greens, and a large fireplace with a roaring fire that made it feel intimate, cozy, and elegant all at once. This is a casual dining spot so no need to dress up to come here. When we came in, we were asked if we had reservations and said no. We were seated immediately. Our server, Mariah, was just the greatest. She gave over the top service and friendliness from beginning to end. I asked for cherry Coke and she said she could make me one with grenadine and cherries from the bar. When I asked for a top off of Coca-Cola, she brought me a whole can and a glass of ice so that I could refill as I desired. As you can see on the bill, we were only charged for our two beverages. A bus boy made rounds and as our plates finished, he immediately cleared them. We ordered: - Clam Chowder Bowl (House-made) - Hubs ordered this as a starter and I tasted a bite. You can tell it is made from scratch. It is very good. You can also get the soup in a bread bowl, which is very tempting. - Brisket Sandwich - Smoked beef brisket, Swiss cheese, onion straws and pickles on a toasted bun. You can't get any better than this! I stuffed myself on this trip even though I had a long ride home because I couldn't stop eating this delicious sandwich. The brisket was cooked perfectly. My sandwich had brisket that was tender and flavorful and meaty with hardly any of the fat and gristle. I didn't need any barbecue sauce, but I wanted to try some anyway. The Swiss cheese, pickles and lightly toasted brioche bun were perfect with the brisket. The fries were also amazing so I had to be careful not to fill up on those. Luckily, hubs helped out. - Trio: 1/3 Rack, Brisket, Grilled Andouille Sausage. This comes with two sides and hubs ordered coleslaw and mac & cheese. The coleslaw is vinegar based with a lemon poppyseed dressing and is on the sweet side. The mac & cheese looked amazing. Aged Gouda is used and this is more of a thinner version rather than an ultra thick version of mac & cheese. Hubs also was amazed by the brisket. It was his favorite and he ate all of it first. The sausage was also good. That mustard barbecue sauce goes perfectly with the sausage. Hubs was full so he couldn't really eat the ribs. There's a lot of meat on this plate. They provide you with a bowl with some wet wipes and napkins for your rib bones. - Banana Pudding Pie to go - I really wanted to try a dessert here just because it's fun to share a dessert while trying out a new place but we were so full that we couldn't. Mariah, our server mentioned she could pack one to go. Sold! We took it to go and she was so sweet. She even packed utensils for us in case we got hungry on the journey home. There's a men's and women's restroom for customers. I noticed the patio as I was exiting the restroom and went to check it out because it looked so inviting with the open porch and screened windows letting in the perfect 60°F breeze. Steps led from the patio to below, and the server explained that they were building a little area out there that will have a bar and live music and places to sit. It is almost finished. There won't be food service, but there will be a bar with drinks and snacks. It's set against the pine trees and the mountain landscaping, giving a very peaceful and green view. In all, we had such a wonderful surprise lunch in Prescott for the few hours that we were up there. I look forward to returning and will stop by the Badger's Den. read more

It was delish! I had the burger. So good! Husband and friends had the smoked prime rib. They loved it!

Had a great experience at the Badgers Den. From the food to the drinks to the atmosphere the experience of each member of our table was excellent. Four people four meals all different: Lobster Tails, Swordfish, Blackened Salmon and Salmon Caesar. All cooked, seasoned and presented beautifully. Finished off the night with three desserts: crème brûlée, carrot cake and banana cream caramel pie...WOW! Smiles all around. Cheers to the chef and staff. read more

First off all, I would like to preface this by saying that the food was good. I think it was pretty solidly consistent for everyone. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The ambiance, however, was severely lacking. The reason I say that is that it was so loud we could not talk to each other. We had a table of 5, everyone in the 60s. The table was round, and it was so big that we were very far away from each other. You could only talk to the person next to you. The dining room was extremely loud. I would not go back with more than one person, and I would sit in the bar. Too bad, but I don't want to go somewhere at this price point and not have a good experience. I don't want to go anywhere and not have a good experience. read more

Food was cooked to perfection. A sweet couple sitting at the bar let me try their Asian pork belly pieces and they were incredible. Their steak was also cooked perfection.

Returned to Badger's Den on 28 January for another birthday. It was a five star experience all around. Atmosphere , Service, and Food. Holly was our wait person and she is attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Thank You. Already looking forward to our next visit. read more

I love these place! If they make a mistake they fix it right away. For example, I asked they put my dressing on side because their potions are huge. They forgot and they gave me another salad to go! This is beyond and above and for some reason these days Customer service sux most places, not here! Live the vibe the food and people! Great job guys!! read more

Food here is next level. Very fresh and high quality. The staff and owner are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable right when you walk in. Nice mix of atmosphere whether it's a big group and a date night. read more

Took 20 minutes to get a drink, then 45 minutes to get an appetizer. They ran out of one of our ordered appetizers, but our server waited 30 minutes to tell us, and then for her to reorder them. The food was very disappointing, service was terrible. The restaurant was very noisy. read more

We went out Saturday night for dinner. We have been a number of times over the past. The Badger Den operation seems to be getting better and better over the growth of the business. We had reservations and were sat promptly, our server was pleasant and was very available. My wife and I had the Rib Eye, cooked to perfection! They have really work on the decor and lighting, not perfect but much improved. We had a wonderful evening and it checked all the boxes. read more

I can see why this is my parents' favorite restaurant. Staff was very accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed. All of our meals were great, no complaints. The grilled salmon was easily enough food for two. Salmon was soft on the inside with a nice outer crust topped with mango pico. Surprisingly the veggies were very fresh and cooked well and the rice was very fluffy. Honestly, couldn't ask for a better grilled salmon read more

My wife and I drove 42 miles to try the restaurant. They refused us service because we did not have a reservation. There were only 8 customers in the place but still - they would not seat us. We heard they had good food and perhaps they do - but we'll never know. One thing for sur eis their customer service sucks. We won't be goig back. read more

The best restaurant in Prescott is now the Badgers Den! We had their BBQ Spare Ribs and their Salmon! Amazing! Nothing in this town compares and I am a 30 year resident of Prescott. Their signature Old Fashion cocktail was perfectly dialed in. The service by Ms. Aubrea was exceptional! read more

This has been many different restaurants over the years. But the Badgers Den is a great addition for Prescott! It has the old large bar, so drinks are available and our dinner offered a great wine list! I chose the Pork Chop with an apricot sauce and it was amazing! Having just returned from Italy and Greece......this place rates with fabulous food across the globe! The cheese cake and key lime were superb! Service was ok. A nice young guy who advised food and drinks well, but was sooo busy some things slipped. But we will be back for sure. I recommend getting there early for seating! Great menu! read more

Where do I even begin. MICHAEL!! Thank you to the young man for really making our night. I've really never been so wowed by service at any restaurant before- and me and my husband are FOODIES!! Came in today and he recommended the Chilean sea bass.. I don't know if it was a special but I'll be coming back and begging for it. It was a very special anniversary dinner and we came here last minute after our original plans fell through... fate put us in the right hands. I can't sing enough praise to the sweet young man Michael who made our anniversary one to remember. Will be back and recommending to ALL of our friends. Thank you badger den. Ambiance and space also so fun and special. read more

This was our forth time here, and was so excited to share with our two friends who joined us. I was soooo embarrassed I suggested this place, the service was absolutely dismal. Nathan was our server & I'm not sure what we did to sour his night, but he was NOT pleased to be serving our table. 20 min passed before he stopped by to even bring water (after we summoned the hostess to help us). The night continued the same way... each time asking for someone to get our server so we could order drinks, our meal, etc. ALL tables surrounding us had different servers who were on their game while we sat waiting. And waiting. 1 hr and 25 min later, we finally got our food. No apologies. No inquiry if we wanted another drink. He quickly dumped our food and ran. Didn't bother to check back if there was something we needed (yes, the chives never came with the baked potato, and why was there only 2 scallops when the menu clearly said there would be 3?) ugh. So frustrating. But the food?? FANTASTIC!! We'll be back, but we will be certain to NOT sit in Nathan's area again. So he doesn't ruin our night. Sat on this a few days before posting, but still so mad the way we were treated/ignored I had to post. Hope the owners find better help read more

Had dinner with a friend last night. They were booked but squeezed us in. So happy they did. This place never disappoints. My friend was so impressed. The Brisket was amazing and the service was fantastic. Our sever Stacey made it such a fun experience! read more

The Badger's Den - Great meal and service. Thanks Stacey! - Barbeque Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

My husband and I are more on the rare side of medium-rare spectrum but typically order medium rare (and we did so tonight). If one of us are sending something back for being too rare.... It takes a lot. This picture is of the steak after being refired not once but twice. This was disappointing for a few reasons. But I think mostly because even after the second refire and naming that we've been in the restaurant industry- there was an argumentative nature to our conversation with our waitress. In our experience, a re fire typically necessitates a manager at least checking in if not dropping the plate. When we said this gesture would have gone a long way with us, but instead the waitress offered we take the steak home to our dogs, we were met with "well I've never seen that here." Unfortunately this was our first time here and we will not be returning despite being valley residents who like to eat out during our at least once a month stay in Prescott. read more

We wanted to take our son to a special place when he visited. He's in restaurant management, so eating out is what it's all about to him. We chose the Badger's Den after hearing all the good things. The quality and experience were amazing, We had the ahi tuna wonton appetizer first-- perfect start. Then we shared a shrimp Caesar. The shrimps were tender, chilled and perfect. The dressing was light and delicious. These are things that vary from place to place, but Badger's Den's Caesar is the standard. I am not a meat eater, but my son had a steak and a meat plate that he said were excellent. I had southwestern mussels with linguini; they were clean, tasted amazing and had just the right texture-- maybe the best mussels ever. We had side dishes of coleslaw, macaroni and fried okra. My wife shared all of our food. I was comfortably full but my son took the banana cream cookie butter pie home for dessert. Nothing disappointed from the courteousness of the server to the timing and temperature of the food. Not sure what to order next time, but we will definitely be back. read more

We had a wonderful meal tonight. 2 NY strips cooked perfectly, and a fish and chips. All were cooked very well, and were seasoned tastefully. The rice, vegetables, baked potato, and fries were all very good. The hostess's were polite and professional. The owner greeted us, and was exceptionally kind. My only feedback is our orders took awhile to arrive. With that said, they did have a few large tables, so I don't want to assume this is a regular thing. I highly recommend Badgers Den for a tasty meal! read more

The Badgers Den is hands down our favorite spot in Prescott--we get takeout at least once a week and it never disappoints. The filets are always cooked to perfection with the best quality meat in town. We recently tried the scallops and as someone originally from Boston, I can confidently say they were New England-level good. Yes, the food can take a little time, but it's 100% worth the wait when it's consistently this excellent. We've also dined in and the atmosphere is cozy, upscale, and the service is great. If you're looking for reliably outstanding food in Prescott, this is the place. read more
