After our 40 mile round-trip, bicycle ride out the Gillespie Dam Bridge. We look for a local place to have brunch, found the Sheep Camp. It is definitely quaint, but they have the best biscuits and gravy that I've had in years. Wonderful service. My friends hamburger was amazing read more

The Sheep Camp - Entrance.. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

Finding a great, inexpensive breakfast spot is getting harder these days, but The Sheep Camp makes it look easy--and it's exactly why I keep coming back. The moment you walk in, you're met with a warm, farmhouse vibe, complete with sheep-themed décor that somehow manages to be both charming and unpretentious. It feels like the kind of place where you can settle in, relax, and enjoy a meal without any fuss. The food is consistently hearty, well-prepared, and priced in a way that reminds you that good breakfast doesn't have to break the bank. Whether you're in the mood for classic staples or something a little more filling, they deliver every time. The staff is another standout: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming in a way that adds to the overall experience. They open early--which is perfect for early risers like me--but they close early as well, so plan ahead if you're thinking of a late lunch. Conveniently tucked just off the main drag on Lower Buckeye, it's easy to get to and checks all the boxes for what a local breakfast spot should be. I've been here several times now, and it's officially my go-to place whenever I'm in town and craving a solid, satisfying breakfast. Keep up the great work, Sheep Camp! read more

The Sheep Camp - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

Stopped in right before closing and ordered the Patty Melt. Maybe one of the best I've ever had. I didn't have to put any condiments on it...it was delicious just as is. And the bread was delicious. Also, the potato salad was definitely home made....like someone made it for the family picnic! Now I have to go back for breakfast!!! read more

I loved that this was an old school joint in old town Buckeye. My sister and I split the chicken fried steak breakfast and it was a good sized portion. The chicken fried steak itself was delicious! The gravy was very tasty as well. As for the home fries they lacked major flavor. In California we are used to home fries with peppers, onions, and seasonings. The biscuit left much to be desired. It was terrible. Service was decent and super friendly. read more

This place is amazing! If you're looking for a good ole home style breakfast this is your place. From the homemade country gray to the freshly squeezed orange juice you will not be disappointed. And to top it off their hospitality. Everyone we encountered and served us made you feel like home. This is my favorite place when I'm in town. read more

This was our first visit to The Sheep Camp. Many neighbors have talked about it and the reviews appeared positive and I'm all about supporting small business. I had read there can be a wait- there was and it was only about 15 minutes. You do have to stand outside or wait in your car as there isn't a waiting area inside. The hubby and I ordered breakfast. He ordered the corned beef hash. He is VERY particular about his hash- and he liked it! He had eggs, fried potatoes and biscuit as the sides. Eggs were perfect but the potatoes were undercooked and hard. He also ordered coffee and water. I ordered the pancake breakfast. The pancakes were beautiful, light, and fluffy with a good flavor. My eggs were also cooked perfectly and the bacon! Mmm! The bacon! 2 slices of thick cut bacon with the right portion of meat and fat on each slice! Bacon heaven! And I ordered iced tea, which tasted great! The negative, our server spoke so quietly and the low roar of everyone talking made it difficult to hear what she was saying. Part of my husband's meal was forgotten and we had to ask for it- by the time we got it, he had already finished all but 2-3 bites of his meal. He had also asked for a glass of water that he never received. And, our server only checked on us once, I wanted a refill on the $4 glad of iced tea but couldn't get the servers attention as she was standing in the back behind the partition- when she did walk past, we were seemingly ignored. Overall, I was disappointed in the lack of attentiveness of the server after reading the reviews of how kind and attentive the staff are. It was $40 for 2 breakfast meals, including $4 for a drink (that was never refilled). If you are looking to support a local business that has a decent breakfast and- only based on this experience- mediocre service, then I recommend trying this place at least once. read more

Great breakfast or lunch place with friendly staff and plenty of food to choose from .. stop in today

Usually drive by on Sunday with folks waiting outside-so I keep driving. However, I stopped by on Saturday. Still busy but no wait and seated promptly. Esmeralda's service was amazing and quality food was delicious. The building is older as some commented on. The inside is clean. This will be my Saturday stop. read more

The Sheep Camp - Sheep Camp Omelet and Western Omelet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

Threw my camera gear, in the truck, and headed towards Gillespie Dam, this morning, and realized, I forgot to eat breakfast. By the time I arrived in Buckeye, Az. it was 1 o'clock. But, my stomach reminded me, it has been Friday afternoon, since the needle on the gauge, was on full. I had jumped off the freeway, in Goodyear, Az. As it's always been my habit, to take the less traveled route, when I'm looking for a place, to use my cameras. As I came into Buckeye, I saw a sign that said Sheep Camp, on my right, so I pulled in, the parking lot. As I entered, Sheep Camp, I was immediately greeted, by a very busy lady, that told me to take any table , that i'd like. As soon as I sat down, I realized, Sheep Camp, was a very, well oiled machine. There were only two empty tables available. So I knew, this was a popular hangout, for the locals. The place smelled like the restaurant, my Mom, use to own. So I was looking forward, to eating. I ordered the Patty Melt, with fries & a glass of iced tea. My ordered was served, in no time at all. When I took that first bite of my sandwich, I thought I was in heaven. I haven't tasted ground beef, that good, since 1969. I know that sounds unrealistic. But I enjoyed that meal, so much, I hated to finish. Out of 5 stars, I give this place, 6 stars. For the food, the service & ambiance. Sheep Camp, is the reason, I keep my radar on, for hole in the wall, cafe's. The waitress, treated me like I had been coming in there, all my life. If you're headed to California, or Yuma, via the I-10 west. This gem, is well worth the short detour. Almost, makes me wish I lived in Buckeye, Az. No! Not really. But I'll never pass this way again, without stopping in, to eat. Thank you, Sheep Camp,staff. You are incredible. By the way. Where do you get your hamburger? read more

One of those places you just hate to mention for fear it will get too popular. This is a gem hidden away on MC 85. The food is right out your grandma's kitchen. The biscuits are huge and sooooo tasty. Add the milk sausage gravy - yum yum. The staff is attentive, friendly and so fun. The diner is not fancy - but clean and tastefully decorated. Love this place! Allow time - first come first served. But if you must wait it is worth every minute. read more

This roadside greasy spoon is exactly that... a greasy spoon and local favorite. The server and patrons all knew one another (except for my partner and I). Chili was homemade and the bowl was a real size bowl. The grilled chicken sandwich was topped with a freshly grilled hatch chili and the fried fish sandwich was typical for a small greasy spoon. The decor and charm is in the simplicity. Quick, friendly, and inexpensive. read more

Good clean, simple, warm food to order. The service was good came to take my order with little to no wait, from time of order to getting order was reasonable, wasn't too busy, but had enough people where it could have been of concern. Portions were filling and prices were reasonable. Eggs cooked as requested, sausage cooked perfectly, toast done well. When looking for a simple clean warm breakfast I plan on returning. read more

Great homemade cooking country style. This place has been around for many years and the food has always been great. The refried beans are the best and the fried potatoes are amazing. Everything here is perfect. Just inside the town of Buckeye, this is a must try and you will be hooked. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere and nice people! I have lived in Buckeye now for nearly 12 years and have wanted to visit the Sheep Camp but it always seemed packed for a smaller restaurant whenever I planned to go. Anyway I finally made it there for lunch and enjoyed a good fish sandwich with some great potato salad! The fish was just basic fried cod but tasted good. But the bun was really nice and sandwich was loaded with lettuce, tomato and I think pickles (I guess I ate it so fast I can't remember) Looking forward to going again. Their menu is mostly breakfast and lunch food as I think they close at 2-2:30. I was surprised that for being small they still had a lot of tables inside! read more

Great food, great service! I would definitely come back for more pancakes! Orange juice was huge!!

After skydiving we came here for breakfast, and enjoyed it. We got the Poncho Omelet which had ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. This tasted as if a taco was an omelet, we really liked it. A biscuit comes as a side and we loved it - super nice and soft. I got the Belgian Waffle Combo which comes with two eggs, and hash browns and really liked it! Yenice was our server and she was so cheerful and patient! read more

OMG!!! Talk about a hole in the wall. Yes it is but the food is awesome! Probably the best breakfast that I've had in a long time. Service was quick and food was hot and I would say definitely the locals favorite spot. Warning!! It's easy to miss and unexpected location. I would say if you're hungry and missing a home cooked meal. Try them. You won't be disappointed. read more

Always outstanding service and food! The staff is very polite and friendly! 100% recommend them.

We're always down to try new spots even if it's a bit of a drive. There's some great local spots in Buckeye and with the town growing it's been cool to check out some spots both new and old. Sheep Camp has been here for decades from what I can gather and the look on the outside shows it. The parking lot is small and I can see it fill up quick on the weekend. The inside is not much larger and when we walk in you're smack dab practically on top of the tables. The inside decor is pretty basic but does look like it's been upgraded a little recently. There's a little sign on the wall saying wait or be seated so we did just that. Multiple employees were around talking to others and such, a few looked right at us and it took a few minutes to be greeted or anything while they talked or other customers and such. You can definitely tell it's a local spot with many of the customers being called by name. We were then told we could sit where available. There were only two tables open so we chose a back booth. A server quickly came to take our drink order and gave us some menus to look over. The menu isn't very large, but has some good options. I liked that they had hash browns since I'm not a fan of home fries. They had some good combo plates and such but they don't come with potatoes so I chose the two egg and bacon meal which comes with hash browns and toast, English muffin or a biscuit. We also ordered a two egg and sausage, side of biscuits and gravy as well as country fried steak that some other reviewers said was good and happens to my all my boys go to for breakfast when out. Everything came out pretty quick. The biscuit was huge and the gravy had a good amount of meat to it. The flavor was good and biscuit baked well. It was a bit heavy for me so I only had a few bites. It's definitely not eating light ha ha. My son said his chicken fried steak was one of the best he's ever had. He said it was easy to cut into and not chewy and over cooked like many places. Our eggs was cooked well to our liking, toast perfect and bacon crisp. My hash browns had good flavor, but I think they should've been cooked a bit longer. Service was ok. They really focused on the obvious frequent customers and we sat for a bit waiting on refills and to pay our check. It wasn't the worst service but dedicated improve. They do have some lunch options as well. They close at 2pm so come earlier to ensure you get a chance to eat. read more

Great place to get some breakfast. The seating area is small. However, Food was delicious, pancakes were amazing and servers were very attentive. You can definitely see the team work in the kitchen. However, a star off is for how small it is, it was a little chaotic to sit in the isle, and we would say is 'Don't sit under a vent near the fan by the door' there was something dripping. read more

If you like just eggs and bacon this is your joint. My husband loves it here as he is all about a greasy spoon. It's a true locals spot. There aren't a lot of options but what I have had I enjoyed. The first time we went we brought my parents and they didn't care for the biscuits and gravy as it tasted a bit lemony ... but this second visit ... no hints of lemon at all. I told my hubby that he needs to come with his guy friends as I need some turkey bacon read more
