    Prime rib dinner
    Cassie D.

    Made reservations on a Saturday night without any problem and got greeted and sat right away when we got there. Our waitress was very friendly and service was quick. We ordered the prime rib with a loaded baked potato and a cesar salad and we did not have to wait long for it to come out . It was delicious! Great atmosphere and great food ... highly recommend The Palace for a good time and a nostalgic atmosphere.

    On our way from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, we took a slight detour to have lunch at Prescott -- the Palace Restaurant and Saloon to be precise. What a fun experience as you step back into history. You can picture the Earps and Doc Holliday having a drink at the same bar you are sitting at. The walls are decorated with old photos and other memorabilia. Oh yes, the food: we both had the Ponderosa French Dip and it was fantastic. There's a lot of great Southwest American history along Prescott's Whiskey Row and the Palace is the premier spot. Check it out.

    The Marshall Salad!  YUM!

    We have been here a lot since we are locals. This was the first time that the service sucked, the food sucked and the prices are crazy. $20 for 4 shrimp on a tiny Ceaser salad that was mediocre at best. There were not a lot of people in the restaurant so we were shocked when it took OVER AN HOUR to get our food. We will be back because it's not normally this bad. - but holy cow this was bad. Maybe it was a new server but he was really bad. Forgot to take our order. Never apologized for taking so long with everything. Never refilled our drinks. Did not clear our dishes.

    Stopped in while visiting a friend in town. The decor has a nice rustic feel, and the food was pretty good overall. There aren't a ton of vegetarian options, but to be fair, it's a steakhouse, so that's to be expected. Our waiter was friendly, and the food came out quickly, which we appreciated.

    Dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon for a quick visit. Enjoyed wandering through and seeing all the items on display. Only had time to sit at the bar and enjoy one whiskey. The service was great. The atmosphere felt more authentic than touristy. If I find myself in Prescott again, I'll definitely make more time to enjoy a meal.

    One of the oldest bars in the nation! Since 1877 this place has been a bar. We had a local cider, the Backcountry burger, and Caballero chicken. We enjoyed everything. It is on the historic register and is a Prescott point of pride, it was neat eating here. Only negative is that they are very busy so there is a wait and service is spotty. They easily need more staff.

    My family came here to eat and everything was great, especially the service. The entry has old fashioned style swinging saloon doors. Despite the restaurant being in existence for many years, everything was clean and they clearly take care of the restaurant. They have a menu that has something for everyone. I got a turkey sandwich without the turkey (cheese sandwich) and unlike some other restaurants I've been to, the server made me feel like it was no problem and my food arrived perfectly. We were all served together and the staff's outfits are cool and old timey saloon.

    Second time in town and had to give the Palace a try, oldest bar / business in Az. Fun to see the employees in their historical garb and similar historic spirit, FUN. Had a burger and coleslaw, both tasty but pretty pricey - four stars for the value

    Very historical spot. Stop by in the town of Prescot on our way back from the Grand Canyon. This place was recommended by a friends since my husband mentioned wanting to go to a saloon. Upon arrival you walk to the middle of the restaurant to see the host. We were seated right away in the bar area. I ordered the steak bites and whisky tacos. I would definitely recommend the steak bites. They were well seasoned and crunchy tacos on the other hand were OK. The service was good. Our waitress was also mending the bar, which was a little busy. The atmosphere was definitely old west vibes, and the workers are dressed in that sort of attire. The Restaurant had a lot of historical features and memorabilia. Nice spot to check out if your into history. I was told the downstairs had been converted into a speakeasy has not been opened yet under new ownership .

    In the saloon dining area

    We decided to do a day trip from Chandler to Prescott, I had heard about this place before and have been wanting to try it for a while, the place is pretty neat inside and in the bar area is seat yourself and the saloon area you have to be seated, the "host" honestly was rude af since my elderly mother (mind you we were in town for her birthday) made the mistake of saying salon and not "saloon" in which he snapped at her "a salon is where you get your hair done" not sure if that was an act or just his wonderful personality?! He sat us at a table that was pretty bright from the sun coming through the top (even though there was a flag covering it) everywhere else was pretty dark in there, we were hungry and didn't want to complain. Our waitress was kind and we received our food pretty quick, the burgers are huge and my Rueben and onion rings were fresh and tasty and we ended up taking 1/2 the burger and 1/2 the Rueben for later, I'm sure we will be back and next time we will go up the stairs to the balcony and enjoy our lunch. I absolutely love Prescott and wouldn't mind living there someday, the little shops along whiskey row are some of the cutest and the workers are so kind and helpful if needing anything. Until next time....

    Steak bites, which disappeared fast.  Try 'em.
    Chris B.

    We had no trouble finding a bar-side table and were promptly seated. Beverage orders came very quickly, and we sampled our appetizer, the steak bites. Outrageously good. I had the ribs for dinner, which were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent, as were the beverages and food. Doesn't get much better than that.

    Cobb Salad
    Christine C.

    We ate here while visiting Prescott for the day and it was fine, nothing special. Portions are good sized but the food was average. The ranch dressing was watery, and the chicken on the cobb was dry. Service was average-- my water glass ran dry a couple of times and it took our server a long time to come back and take our food order after taking our drink order. The ambiance is fun, but there are better places to eat in Prescott.

    Matt's Saloon has been a Whiskey Row staple for over 60 years, and you can feel the history the…read moremoment you walk in. We found it after seeing it featured in Only the Brave, and we're glad we stopped in. It's your classic small-town bar with a great mix of locals and tourists, cold beer, live music, and horse race betting if that's your thing. The bartenders work hard, especially when it's gets busy. Be kind and respectful, and you'll get the same in return. We met several locals who have been coming here for over 40 years, which says a lot about the atmosphere. If you're in Prescott, this is a place worth experiencing.

    We were at Matt's this weekend, so excited because we usually LOVE this bar! We were there with a…read moregroup but the bar wasn't too busy, especially for a Saturday night. One of our girls was kicked out early in the night, she had been drinking but was not belligerent (....I couldn't say the same for some other guests that were there ALL night). We were all dancing/line dancing with the rest of the crowd and enjoying the band, but got a few noticeable side glances and were making sure to stay out of everyone's way. Later in the night our designated driver who had only been drinking water was kicked out too for "drinking too much"... Throughout the night we saw one particular bouncer being directed towards certain people to be removed... It was clear a couple of "guests" had their preference on who could be there and who couldn't. After reading other reviews, it looks like this is a common occurrence. In a group of multiple bartenders, we understand the responsibility of an establishment to protect their business, but this was clearly intentional targeting. Also - the bartenders were lovely and the bouncer at the front was also wonderful, it was just a few bad apples and some "mean girl" regulars, but unfortunately we still don't want to support any business that is okay with this. Talking to people in town it seems like this place has an even deeper reputation we were not aware of. We won't be back - but if you go, be safe and aware of your surroundings (especially ladies) !!
