    All-you-can-eat for $14.99!
    Keith M.

    It's usually fun to try new places. This is a place that I never would've gone to unless somebody personally recommended it to me. I guess I'm getting a little snobby. When I saw 2 1/2 stars, I was more than a little turned off, but I was feeling adventurous today. I'm glad I tried this place because it's nicer than I expected. It's several steps up from being a dive bar. After a few minutes standing at the front, I decided to ignore the "please wait to be seated" sign since it was apparent that there was no host this coming... The fish was very good and all-you-can-eat for $14.99 is a terrific price these days. It would be nice if the fried fresh was a little crispier, but it was tasty. The tartar sauce was a little sweet, but good. My only complaint with this place is that they have an outdoor covered patio where the smokers congregate. The door is open frequently and there's a blast of smoke entering the restaurant. If that's not an issue, give this place a try!

    Arizona laws regarding bringing sealed beverages into a bar.

    My experience on Sunday 08 03 2025. Sorry sir, no outside food or drinks. Wanted to add my own sealed mixer. Then someone brings cake. Then, someone brings in pizza. Asked to speak to the manager. He says against health code to bring in...food or drinks. But not cake? Not pizza? If it is a health code violation? His words! Maybe it is just his friends!!! I wanted to use a sealed mixer, I know there are laws and health codes, and even bar rules. But it goes to everyone! No, just friends! Owner of this bar if you'd want to reach out tag me. I also asked for your name! The manager would not give it. If it's policy, it applies to everyone and employees. Same as if it was a health code or a law. There is no law or health code about a sealed container. Cake and pizza IDK!!! If anyone i know is acquainted with this bar owner, let me know.

    Pretty big steakhouse atmosphere with live music. Some country music and 60s and 70s music. Some people had fun dancing front of the stage. Pretty loud live music and not recommended for intimate dates. We got ribs, porkchop, chicken fried steak, and French dip. Side salad, onion rings, and Porkchop was good. Rib and chicken fried steak was ok. Side veggies had pretty strong garlic flavor. French dip came with very soggy buns and very dry chewy meat (do not recommend). Our server was very fast and not a great service. Handicap parking is very far from the entrance.

    Chicken plate with blood

    I saw all the bad Yelp reviews ( yikes). & we still went. We tried to get a reservation online.. but everything was always booked? We came mainly because our young son was going to debut his guitar skills for his "summer band". I called weeks ago and tried to reserve but was told again everything was booked so it was "first come first serve by a kind man". We showed up & you can tell they were under staffed. The hostess was cleaning tables so it took a good while but she sat us close to the stage. Tables are sticky. We ordered the chicken plate & that came out bloody...The hamburger was way overcooked, the Cuban sandwich as my son tells me (who eats everything)... "there's just something wrong with it" he stated it tastes old. The veggie's on the chicken plate was mushy and soupy like it's been sitting in water all day. I ask for a Bloody Mary it was ok (5 out of 10) but it definitely had alcohol in it (ty) . I thought it was only fair to order another drink so the waitress could make a good tip but that drink took 30 mins to come to me & I declined it because I needed to drive home. The atmosphere is " lively". Definitely more of a bar crowd. I would not go here for the food. I could swear I saw my waitress cooking in the kitchen... maybe that's why my drink came so late. No water was offered. Waitress was carrying several table drinks on a single platter and sat the platter on a customers table and left? ( there were about 9-12 drinks for other tables on that platter) She ran back to the kitchen to go get something... so I'm looking at my drink sit on another customers table ( um no.. I don't want that now) ... While I was listening to the bands play my food came and was shoved towards me ( no excuse me or pardon me...plate coming HOT! )... I could hear staff chatting about being overworked and they "better be tipped out well tonight" because they were all doing other jobs ( bussing & cleaning etc.) it was a HOT MESS! . I'm not exactly sure how this place maintains.. but hey diff strokes etc. The ambiance is that of a dive bar. The kids had a decent "first band experience " So a definite thank you for that. Um... I'm still in disbelief of what I experienced... The bar was crowded so absolutely... they have regulars... I'm still not sure why this generation screams and yells when singers and music is so bad... I don't get it. If it's bad say it's bad so they can learn... not everyone can sing... or play ( because they don't practice)... karaoke is one thing ... you applaud because it takes guts to get up there... But for the love of all that is holy tell people when they are not good at something... it builds character.. I do appreciate the venue giving kids a place to try out life bravo.

Most caring and accommodating staff Creating a fun and buzzing atmosphere for all ages - I was with 4 ladies ages 82-91. Taking great care of all customers Very alert and aware and kind wait staff Lots of TV's everywhere Featuring all sports and dedicating tv screens tonight ( Thursday April 9 2026) to the Family Fued game night. The entire team would stop and check up on us all evening. Clean and beautiful restrooms An inviting and warm atmosphere What made this evening even more fun was my Soul Sister Barb ( she calls me her permanent pain in the culo) invited me to join her dear friends and her for this event. How spunky and full of life was this group you akse me? On the second card ( 2 of 6) was " We asked. a 100 women this question- What is better than sex with your man? One of the ladies who is 84 years young immediately responded" Sex with 2 men". I fell off my barstool. This was the perfect place to enjoy this nostalgic and hysterical catch up. Hats off again to this great Bonfire of Surprise team for making all ages so happy and coming back every 2 weeks. Bravo!!

    Update: I will add the photos from the server, where she states that Dave apologized to her about…read morethis incident (that you claim never happened) after my review went viral. Feel free to post my full visit from your security footage! My husband, kids, and I stopped in for an early dinner, we had never been but see the reviews online so we wanted to try it out! Getting seated, we didn't want a high top and it was the only thing available. The hostesses couldn't give us an estimate of what the wait time would be for a different table, but I'm realizing after our horrendous experience- they probably weren't trained. We ended up just taking the high top to negate any further confusion with a time estimate. It's crowded inside, and your table is crowded. The energy and atmosphere is tense and overwhelming. It's a sports bar, though- so I feel like that's consistent with any other sports bar you'd pop in to. We decided on the build your own appetizer to start, it came out room temperature. While our server was taking our order for the rest of the food (there was apparently an issue with the table next to ours and their food being taken to the incorrect table, again with poor training) the manager went out to the table next to ours to deliver food and turned to the server at my table, taking my order, and interrupted me to yell at her. He yelled at her about putting the incorrect table on the tickets and the food going to the wrong table, yelled at her the right table numbers( I guess for her to remember next time?), and then stormed off. Leaving our server, to pick up the pieces and apologize for an emotionally triggered man that should have some self control if he's leading a team or part of a company. I was absolutely disgusted with the behavior of the leadership in this establishment and the food was unremarkable. Cold, bland, and stingy is how I would describe the food we were served. There were barely any cheese curds on the Poutine, The Ole Smokey pizza was mediocre and the pasta was bland. I think this restaurant rides the coattails of being on the food network but it does not meet expectations, by far. There is a lack of training all around and that falls on leadership, only. The hostesses couldn't give a wait time, the bartender was over serving customers (I'm reporting that separately to the state), and the servers/runners aren't fully trained for the floor- but instead of teaching, training and finding a resolution- their lead will berate and belittle them to satisfy his ego and ruin your experience. I'm actually grateful the food was as mediocre as it was because I'm happy to never be back.

    Where do I begin. I…read moregot to the restaurant a little early and noticed that this gentleman who had just parked as well had a big smile on his face and was humming a tune as he walked towards the entrance in his nice black slacks and shirt. I walked in at 3:16 pm and was at the hostess desk for maybe 7 seconds when the same gentleman came up, greeted me and seated me. He was by the bar and we got talking about the weather, Texas, NY and life. Still early so he pulled up a chair next to my table and we continued our fun dialogue. Turns out this down to earth and very sweet guy is the owner Emilio Kimble. His wife Maria, also a sweetheart and he have brought this same natural love, care and service to their beautiful restaurant. The restaurant is big with indoor and outdoor seating, a gorgeous bar and tv's galore. My friends Barb and Luci arrived and they got their " usual" Tito's and soda plus a Cab. My Diet Coke was refilled constantly by the our very attentive waitress Emily. The food was stupendous. It had to be as Emilio's and Maria's love was contagious- Luci loved her Diamondback burger( photo). Barbara got really quiet ( a rarity)as she chomped on her tremendous pulled pork burger(;photo) and I got a special tuna salad on wheat with grilled peppers and onions and fresh avocado( photo snapped before I inhaled it). It was a beautiful sandwich. The fries were hot, crispy and tasty. It was a great meal. Big portions too. The regulars poured in and the laughter and fun continued as we moved to the bigger room for the Thursday night trivia. I love that they have a Jazz night, fish fry and shrimp Friday specials, a Billy Joel tribute night, a $16 Easter Buffet in 10 days( sadly I will be in Europe) and so many fun events on the calendar. ( photos). The restaurant is immaculate and bright. There is lots of parking up front. They cater and they deliver. They open daily at 9 am except for Mondays( closed). I am here for a racquetball tournament about 3 miles north and will absolutely bring the guys for the undisputed best meal of their trip. Thank you Emilio, Maria and your lovely team for your kindness and a memorable evening.

I didn't know that. I called the number to speak to somebody to open the gate and the guy told me I had to go around. I tried to explain the guy I didn't know how to go around because I'm not from this area. He then stated "well if you didn't cut me off, I was about to tell you". That was enough for me to tell him don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. I pull up to the other gate and it's him that standing there. He asked me where I'm going and I tell him then, he rest his elbow on my car, tries to look me in the eyes and says "it was really rude of you to hang up on me like that" I explained to him "I didn't like the tone of your voice that's why you got hung up on". He then says "well, what's the address of the place you're going to" like he doesn't know where I'm going You don't need this kind of trouble just to try to go somewhere to get a bite to eat. Let the retirement home people have this place because you're not missing anything.
