a box of fried fish and fries
Monica G.

Called in to have my food pick up around 3pm, did a little baile ride in the area (so pretty) and got my food. Oh my, the portion is huge. Loved the batter for the fish as it's perfectly seasoned. The fish was very fresh and tender. The vinegar is brilliant! I will only use that when I am having fish and chips again.

Tucked in a small shopping plaza next to The Oracle Inn.

A random, wonderful find! On the 2nd day of our last-minute, weekend getaway to Oracle, AZ, we…read moreended up here. I'm not sure how many restaurants are nearby but since we knew the Oracle Patio Cafe was closed, we had to find something else! Side note, you can zip line here...not at the restaurant but attached or next to it. Seems like there is also a camp ground and hiking and off-roading all nearby or a part of the land...basically, what I'm trying to say is this seems like an all-in-one outdoor adventure spot that I'm sure I'm not explaining well, and a lot of people already come here for. Now, for the restaurant: they have a very simple menu and some specials. You pick up a menu/order form, mark off what you want, write your name, and bring it to the cashier. You pay, get a buzzer, and then wait. They have a few family style tables inside, as well as some novelty shopping. They have a ton more seating outside. I got their signature Adventure Burger which means the chef makes the burger and you're surprised. I LOVED this! My burger had avocado, grilled mushrooms, cheese, sauce, etc. I'm not even sure everything exactly, but it doesn't matter because it was delicious! Their fries were also really tasty! My daughter got their chicken fingers which had the best, seasoned skin on it. Lastly, right outside the restaurant they have "panning for gold" - FREE! My daughter was so excited to do this and even more elated when she found "REAL" gold ;) I really appreciated that they offered this and for free. It seems rare these days you stumble upon things like this.

Found out about this place by accident but figured why not. We made the drive up here from Oro…read moreValley, beautiful drive but further out then we expected but it was worth the drive. When you walk in it's a bit different as it's really about the zipline adventure with a burger on the side. You order off of the paper menus that list everything they offer. We got a burger to split with all the usual things LTPO. It was a hand formed burger, not pre made, and was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and just great. And of you feel froggy you can even pan for gold outside the building. All in all it was a good place and I'm glad we took the time to drive up here. it won't be our last.

After driving down the back road from Mt. Lemmon after hiking all day we were hungry. The reviews…read morewere good and so we made a stop. We were all super glad we did. I got the veggie burrito, enchilada style. It was delicious and HUGE. The staff was not exaggerating when they said these were big burritos. My boyfriend got an all meat burrito, also enchilada style, and loved it. One kid got the kid's bean and cheese burrito, and she loved it. It was smaller than the adult burritos but still good sized. She managed to eat more than any of us and she's the tiniest. The other kid got the veggie burrito and while he's normally a picky eater, he loved it! The prices are very reasonable especially for how much food you get. The menu has a ton of options, they all looked tempting and I don't even eat meat. They do take cards now, by the way. Closed Saturdays as the owners are SDA but open all other days. The only thing I was sad about is I went at a time breakfast was not being served. But that's a me problem, not a them problem. We will be back. It's too good to miss.

I've had this place before moving to Las Vegas plenty of times living in Oracle. Now being back, I…read moregot a breakfast burrito. The burrito had bacon, eggs, potatoes, cheese and I add chorizo to my burros lol. The burrito seemed to have made an improvement. It was portioned correctly, still large but rolled perfectly. Before they used to be bulgy. The chorizo used to be super spicy, this time is more mild. After this burro I'll be back for breakfast again. The place never changed inside and out. Still a little Mexican restaurant in a small town. Service still nice, you'll see the same faces when you order there.

Love to take people up here. It's a great place. We do not live in S-Brooke, but enjoy the Ranch…read moreHouse. I took my gf up here. She treated me to a lunch at the Brewpub. Our server was fabulous. I have issues w/ both the entries. I had the walleye..all presented very nicely...but the fish didn't taste really fresh to me. I understand frozen...but....this was a bit old to me. My gf treated herself to the scallops. She loves scallops, and was comfy w/ that choice. $55 and she got THREE scallops........now, scallops aren't inexpensive....but.....I feel they should mention the number ON the menu OR the server should inform the customer. I mean THREE scallops. All the side dishes - FF...cole slaw...fresh and yummy. Dessert was fabulous....lattice cherry pie w/ ice cream...wonderful...and it was my BD celeb and we were treated to dessert. That was v v nice. I think some clarification on the scallop entree would have been a good thing to do.

The flourless chocolate torte made me want to throw my table manners away and lick that plate! It's a lively place but the noise level in our booth made having conversations easy. And the decor! OH my! It is beautiful! The rafter roof gives this place a Bavarian vibe and the way they use soft and spot lighting is brilliant. From the hostess, to our server, to the manager, everyone was so nice. Even the other guests, everyone was having a great time. We will be back.

The…read moreservice is warm and genuinely friendly, and the view of the Catalina Mountains makes an already enjoyable stop even better. What really adds character to the place is the story behind it. Sammy came to America from El Salvador in search of opportunity and built a life and business here. You'll notice plenty of patriotic and MAGA decor around the restaurant, which reflects his own views and appreciation for the country he now calls home. Good food, fair prices, friendly people, a beautiful Arizona view, and a local family working hard to build something of their own. That's the kind of place I'm happy to support.

This place has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and is tucked into a beautiful part of town. The decor inside was awesome and made the whole place feel comfortable and inviting from the second we walked in. My wife ordered the chimichanga and it was huge -- looked absolutely delicious and came out piping hot. I got the MAGA Burger because I was in the mood for some serious comfort food, and that burger delivered. The patties were juicy, the food was fresh and hot, and the bacon crumbled between the patties and melted together with the cheese was honestly an awesome surprise. The fries were just as good. Sammy himself was a really nice guy, and the rest of the wait staff we met were friendly and welcoming too. No matter your political views, the food here is flat-out good. I also appreciated all the signs supporting our troops throughout the restaurant. If you're passing through Catalina and want a good meal in a relaxed little spot, this place is definitely worth stopping at.
