Trappers Cafe - "Light" chicken fried steak dinner (1/2 size). - Cafes Near Me - Taylor, Arizona

We used to go to this place quite often before it went all the way DOWN hill which is sad because it used to be such a good place! The place is not clean! I would say "not clean" is a huge understatement! My daughter and I caught a spider that went across our table into one of the empty water cups. When we told the waitress she took the spider cup back to the clean cup area and put it back with all the other clean cups, literally while we watched her. Second, you WILL get hair in & throughout your food! They DO NOT wear hair nets in the kitchen. We got hair served with our cheeseburger and fries & the waitress saw it & then made a personal judgement to just take off the price of the french fries being that was the location of the hair ?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! THIS IS DISCUSTING!! NO ONE WANTS TO EAT ANYTHING OFF OF THE ENTIRE PLATE WHEN THERE IS HAIR ON IT!! Just a common courtesy is to not charge for the entre plate if there is hair served on the plate, or maybe require kitchen staff to wear hair nets to avoid it all together!! We are not going back to this place ever again.. we paid $30 for hair with our meal, and that's after the deduction of 'just' the hairy french fries! If this was my restaurant I would quickly save my family name by letting some people go! read more

Trappers Cafe - Hair throughout the food - Cafes Near Me - Taylor, Arizona

Wonderful home cooked food and out of this world pies

Waste of your money and time. The food was obviously frozen and then reheated, they serve instant mashed potatoes, the beverages were watery, the salad was from a bag, the soup was watery and fatty (how does that happen??), and to top it all off, IT WAS AN ARM AND A LEG. Never coming back. Disgusting. read more

Good food and great service ! They also have good pie Nice and clean and friendly employees read more

We had lunch at Trappers a few days ago. Nice hometown atmosphere and really friendly service. The food was good and the pies were amazing. Make sure that you save some room for a slice. You won't regret it. read more

Trappers has the best pie I have ever had in my life. I would recommend it for that reason alone. The coconut cream is my favorite. But any flavor will do. The food is super affordable and reminds me of a home cooked meal. The service is warm and friendly. We always stop in whenever we are in town. I wouldn't miss it! read more

Never had home made breakfast that I love as much as my own until this place!! And the blueberry pie!! Do that first!!! Wooooow!!

The food here has declined alot. I used to love eating here. Now the food is bland and my wife actually got sick eating here. The only thing worth coming here for now are the pies. The pies are still freaking delicious. read more

So Trappers is a really really cute place! I love this small town. So my first time going to Trappers was like going out for an ice cream cone when I was younger. The thrill and excitement. The sandwiches were delicious and amazing. No complaints But the deboned chop meal was another thing. So the chop was really good, but the sides tasted like canned or jarred food, the mashed potatoes were instant potatoes. That was a little disappointing. But overall I'd go again. The service was amazing! So yes you should go! read more

Food was average for the cost. Service was just ok. All 3x we've been there seems that the staff is more interested in socializing with the regulars than trying to make the new customers regulars. Love salads & order a side salad. Nothing but iceberg lettuce with a couple tomato & cucumber slices. More gravy &/ sauces than food. I can put up with poor to average food. However, being of the food service industry most of my 30+ adult years, I can't & WON'T put up with poor to average service. Oh, & the one time, the waitress was even in the far section of the diner, chatting it up with some other clearly regulars, our order was clearly called, & it had been about time for her to come check on it. Took her almost 5 minutes after the order was called to even come out of that room. Then she proceeded to talk with some more regulars. Leaving our hot food, meatloaf & biscuits & gravy, sitting there for another 2-3 minutes. We are the semi warm & WAY OVER sauced food. Knowing that third strike, your out. We had complained the last 2x & LITERALLY were blown off. Not even apologized to or treated like the staff was sorry. As for the ambiance. This was the best thing going for Trappers. We live in Snowflake & REALLY try to & like shopping local. However, don't think Trappers will be one of those we try again. read more

Burgers were great (FYI, served with Mayo - not a fan)! Server immediately got me another bun without mayo! It was fresh ground beef and not pre-made patties! This was our first time in, as we were in town for only a bit, passing through. It was recommended by friends that were with us, and had eaten there before. It did not disappoint. Thanksgiving is in two days and they were in full Pie mode. Pies looked wonderful, although we didn't order any. Servers were happy and friendly. I gave them a 4/5 only because the kitchen was a little slow. read more

My boyfriend I were coming through town on our way to flagstaff and stopped by this little cafe. It was so nice, service was great. We rated this cafe 4/5, however, we both agreed that the German chocolate pie we ordered deserved a 5/5! We would recommend eating here any day of the week. :) read more

This cafe is one of those hidden gems! Open 6am-8:30pm. Your dinners come with a roll, vegetables, choice of potatoes and a soup or salad. The food is definitely homemade and the flavors are divine! The chicken fried steak is huge! The chicken and rice soup was homemade and delicious! My husband and could have split the dinner and we would have had room for dessert. We split a cherry pie slice and the flavors were incredible! They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. If you don't stop here you'll regret it! read more

Food was good, portion size is large. The pies are great. We tried peanut butter, German chocolate and lemon merengue, all were yummy.

This place has gone down hill. I'm all about supporting a local family owned business but they have let that restaurant go down the drain. Who charges someone EXTRA for French fries when you order a hamburger?? The quality of the food is also gross and very over priced. Its just not like it used to be. I hope to see them do better but won't be returning again until they get their crap together. read more

Very good home cooking food. It's just like mom makes. It's has good pies also! So go and see for self

Was very excited to go and try this restaurant out since the reviews seemed to be good. None of the meals come with anything, no sides nothing. The prices were not comparable to other cafes in the area at all. After ordering and the food came we never saw our waiter until we finally got up and went to the cash register. The food was mediocre at best, the burger was dry. I asked for some BBQ sauce which they charged me an additional 1.32 for. All in all last time I'll go there, no reason to lower my standards there are far better cafe choices close by. read more

New to the area and came across this gem, their breakfast was phenomenal and the pies, home run!!! Definitely recommend stopping in an giving it a try, you will enjoy the experience. read more

Driving from the route from Holbrook to Globe took us right through the town of Taylor. Thinking back a few years I remembered someone recommended a place to get good pie in Snowflake or Taylor. We weren't very hungry but we knew we could eat some pie. My wife had a piece of apricot pie with ice cream and I a piece of peanut butter cream. Scrumptious! Excellent crusts, as well. Service was excellent. read more

When 'locals' take you 15 miles to eat here it must be good! Yup, they were right! I can't imagine how crazy busy this place musta been during the Rodeo but Monday after it was full of hungry locals a few travelers and busy waitresses! Green Chili on a Burger adds flavor, moisture and a smile to my face! The patty is done the way culinary masters strive to achieve! Ok it was just perfectly delicious alright? If you are within 20 miles of Trappers hold your hunger in check and go there or wish you had! We did! I can die happy now! BUT WAIT.... There's pie! And not the crappy selection of lame excuses you get in the big city casinos.... I can't remember seeing Apricot pie on a menu. Split a piece whit hubby as I was full from my burger n fries. Passing up pie is bad Karma! It was good! Friends shared Coconut Cream which also looked heavenly. Guy at the next table appreciated a yummy piece of Apple Pie probably like his momma back in South Dakota might have made! Eat here! Trust me! read more

Burgers were fantastic, waitress was so sweet and helpful, chef's salad was amazing -- and this place is reasonably priced. If you're looking for a tasty place to eat and one that won't break the bank, this is a sure thing. read more

Trappers Cafe - The slightly creepy guy on the sign set up a great restaurant, so don't judge. Also ask for Chelsie...she's awesome! - Cafes Near Me - Taylor, Arizona

Trappers has good hometown food at very reasonable prices. Our family of 6 ate for less than $60 for lunch and even took boxes of food home. You can always count on a tasty burger and good French fries and their other menu items don't disappoint either. read more

We were driving through and decided to stop for lunch. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak. This always makes me nervous because we're from the south and southerners are very picky about their chicken fried steak and he is no exception. I've even started a list of restaurants where he thought the chicken fried was awful. This is definitely not on the list. He really enjoyed it and wants to come back for more! I had the turkey melt and fries and also wasn't disappointed. The sandwich had a large amount of turkey on it and was delicious. The fries were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. The flavor was great. I took half of my lunch in a takeout container so I'd have room for a piece of their banana cream pie. Like the rest of the meal it was yummy. I sure wish my pie crusts were that flaky. Our waitress was polite and attentive. The restaurant was very clean. It was a great place to eat. read more

I think the real star of Trappers Cafe is the pie. If you go here, get pie. It should be mandatory. There are baked pies to go, seasonal pies, tons of pie. And the pie is good. Really, really good. I had a blueberry cream pie- wow. Just, wow. My dad got a pumpkin cream pie. They were just out of this world good. The food I had was good too, a couple of misfires. I opted for a soup- tomato macaroni. It was lukewarm, but tasty in texture. I had the small portion of BBQ beef and it was a TON. I swear, a lot of meat. So good, so tender. There were green beans which were okay. My dad had a grilled chicken which he said was very good. It looked pan grilled, slightly breaded. This is a place for a lot of locals I imagine. Read about the history of Trapper on the menu while you dine here. There are hunted antler horns hanging in the bathroom. Yes, it's that kind of place! read more

Server seemed annoyed we were there. Instant mashed potatoes with instant gravy. Asked for a side of tomato or avacado for my 2 year old and was informed I could not receive it before my meal then never got it. My pie was from a can and my wife's was frozen. Live across the street and would rather drive drive elsewhere than go back. read more

Basic good food. Not stingy in their portions. There is 1 waitress their that leaves something to be desired. She's not very friendly and doesn't look very clean. But of a turnoff. But they also bake the best pies this side of town. I would still recommend. read more

Good small place for breakfast. Usual fare, nothing fancy. Service is like everywhere else up here, varies widely. read more

This is an experience like none other. It's Saturday evening May 21st around 4:30 pm. Our power went out so we drove from Snowflake to Trapper's restaurant in Taylor Arizona. This restaurant's been around a long time so I expected a more. First off, the menu is average, with nothing unique, but I can tell you from the 50 plus years in the food service industry nobody puts brown gravy on chicken fried steaks. We ordered the fried cod dinner with a cup of soup and a chef salad. When the soup arrived it was immediately set aside. After tasting it I couldn't believe somebody would serve something like that. It was a cream soup with chunks of potato the size of your thumb and bacon bits. However, they did not completely finish cooking out the flour and it tasted like flour and water. The waitress gladly exchanged it for a side salad. After the salad was finished we waited approximately 30 minutes. Finally, the waitress came over and said oh I'm really sorry we're out of cod. Needless to say we left but we left the waitress a tip cuz none of it was her fault. If the owners of Trappers in Taylor Arizona read this then they should seriously consider finding some assistance. Trapper's, If you don't change you won't survive. read more

The best dinner in town! The burgers and pie are so great! The staff is very friendly. The area is clean with a great homie feeling. Recommendable for anyone! read more

We come up from Tucson at least once a month and always make time for trappers, consistent good home cooking great service and some of the best pie on the planet. Keep up the good hard work that you all make look easy. read more

Strange little place to say the least. We were maybe 1 of 4 tables in the restaurant and it took awhile for us to get our order taken. Huge portions for the country fried steaks. Had a side salad which consisted of many brown parts. Dressing was good. Wouldn't go back but I wouldn't say avoid it either lol read more

We were in town yesterday for a funeral and needed to find a place to accommodate our group of 10. Trappers Cafe was wonderful to let us in 30 mins before closing and we even got to sit together. Yay! The green beans were phenomenal, the rib eye was seasoned perfectly, and the cherry pie was divine! read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. Not only did we have to wait a long time for our meal but it was so bland and flavorless. We walked away feeling sick and over charged. When we confronted the check out waitress she didn't seem to care about our experience. If I could rate them less than one star I would. read more

No masks on waitress. Rancid tasting bacon. Waitress with attitude after mentioning bacon taste. We won't go back.

Best pies and best burger in the white mountains!!! Their peanut butter pie is to die for and the burger comes with only mayonnaise on it and the rest is left to the side to build yourself. Their fries were also delicious. Reading about the history of trappers was also fun while waiting on our food. Will definitely be going back!! read more

Pies are excellent. The service was a little iffy- both times we went, both waitresses seemed bothered.

We enjoyed lunch at Trapper's Cafe today; our first visit. WOW! The food was great and the pie was fantastic! Our waitress was fun and very attentive! Enjoyed the atmosphere, food and service!!! Will be back soon!!! read more

I like to go here on Friday night for the rib eye steak special. Another absolute favorite of mine is the apricot pie! Lately no pie due to fires and flooding in California. I am hoping I will see it again this summer. I would give them 5 stars if they had a bar. read more

Trappers has been around since I was just little. It has always been good and it still is one place that we love to go to as a family. Their burgers are so awesome and their salads are without match! Breakfast is great and you never leave hungry. The service is decent and easy to over look because of the great food and the warm atmosphere. Always a must stop when you are in the area. read more
