Awesome chicken fried steak and gravy! The home fries definitely needed some onions or bell peppers or some season salt.. also the biscuit was dry .. it was big but very dry!! We got a side of gravy with it which was $3. Staff was friendly! :)
Great country breakfast place! Best I've tried so far in Arizona. Small and cozy with great service. The salsa on the huevos rancheros was legit. The biscuits and gravy were amazing as well.
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.
This was our first visit, Ms. Esmeralda was our server. She was FANTASTIC! The food was delicious. We will be back.
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.
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.
Delicious breakfast Very cute place . Loved the ambiance Great story behind this local family owned restaurant
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?

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

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

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

Excellent breakfast place! You know it's good when the locals pack it out! Service was friendly. Location is convenient, inside is simple, cute, and clean. We got the waffle with strawberries and whipped cream, and chorizo and eggs. All was fantastic! Honestly, the waffle was the best waffle I've ever had in my life. Go here! read more

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

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

Small joint with great customer service. Wait time was expected to be 20 minutes however it was only ten. They even came outside to get us even though it was busy. The food took quite awhile to get to us but hot and fresh. The bathroom is a downside. Outside and locked after I asked where it was. read more

Whenever we're in Buckeye we come here. The food is great no matter what we order. Recently i ordered an ABC and it was delicious. The service can get a little slow at times but it is worth the wait. They are always friendly. The place is small and clean, easy to get to. They serve breakfast and lunch. read more
