Wild Horse is exactly what I want when I'm looking for an authentic American road house that screams local character and does it with class! From the whitewashed southwest adobe style structure to the bison head mounts behind the bar, Wild Horse does great honor to a Sonoran Desert watering hole. Yes, it's a roadhouse menu, but there is something here for everyone from the meanest carnivore to the meekest herbivore. It's a place where road worn bikers, desert rats, and affluent boaties sit shoulder to shoulder sharing stories and adventures. This is a cash only place, which always means family joints where the food is filled with love. And these folks keep the price of food and drink as economical as possible. I'm always pleasantly surprised at the moderate bill. I believe the cheeseburger with a green chili, backed up with a cup of chili is a world class experience. I'm pretty sure the chili is classic Hormel in a can, while the burgers are hand crafted masterpieces. Add a pile of chopped onions and cheese to the chili and you get an American classic. The burgers are loaded with onion, lettuce, and pickles with peppeiccini peppers on the side. Served on a paper plate with a bag of Lays chips (no fries here) these burgers are uniquely awesome. (I'm seriously suspect of reviews in this thread that talk of fries and show hard plates. Something not right there.) Where else can you order a small bag of Fritos with chili and cheese poured in over the chips? Call it a Chilrito, and what's not to like about that!!! The dogs, especially the chili dog, do serious justice to that American classic!!! As do all the offerings on the menu. Cold beer and a full bar compliment the kitchen. Some days you just need bourbon with your burger. Other days genuine PBR from La Crosse Wisconsin fills the bill. You don't find a lot of PBR in this part of the country, and it's a lesser place fore the lack. I've always had great service here and never left with anything but a smile and satisfied appetite. You know you have been somewhere special when the long wall-length western bar starts at the kitchen and ends at a live bait shop for the Lake Pleasant fishing crowd! Places like Wild Horse are what truly make and keep America great.

It may look a little run down, but don't let that fool you, the food is really good. The service is laid-back and kind of reminds me of Lenny's Burger. The bathroom was super cute, and just a heads up, there's some taxidermy behind the bar, so if that's not your thing, sitting closer to the door is a good option or sit on the patio (if it's open)

You kidding me!? This is a Diamond in the rough for sure... I always get my gas next door at the Shell station and wondered over after I got gas. WOW... was not expecting this Dive Bar to be this amazing... go in and see Alex. Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Service! I'll be in touch and I'll be back! Peace, Frankie G.

he classic cheeseburger here is simple but delicious. The beef patty was juicy and cooked perfectly, with fresh lettuce and tomatoes adding a nice crunch. The fries were hot and crispy.

After a long time away we stopped by yesterday after a long day of riding and before heading to the lake. It was such a better experience from last time. We found seating right away, service was great and everyone was happy with their food. I had a green chili cheeseburger and it was delicious. The vibe is pretty basic and simple menu. Glad I gave it another try.

Great restaurant right on Lake Pleasant! My friend and I planed to do a sunset paddle so we stopped…read morehere before for some food. You have to pay the Lake Pleasant entrance fee and walk down a long flight of stairs on the dock to get to the grill so definitely plan to spend some time in the area. We were seated right away and after debating a few options, I ordered the crispy fish sandwich with a salad as my side. The food was ready pretty quickly. The salad was both bigger and better than I expected for a side salad. The fish sandwich also really delivered with a large piece of fish that was nicely lightly breaded. Of course the views here are beautiful and sitting outside is best to be able to stare out at the water and the mountains during your meal!

Great spot if you're visiting Lake Pleasant, especially if you're around the Marina. You do have to take stairs or a tram to access the marina from the parking lot. The food was fresh and delicious. Not a surprise based on the reviews. But the prices are incredibly reasonable. Kids meals at between 6-9 dollars and adult meals are between 15-25 dollars. The battered fish was the star. Crispy exterior, while fish was soft, flakey and tender. It is definitely worth a try and the portions are enough to share (which we did). A high recommend, just be careful of the wild Burros (donkeys)

I ordered the chef special which was pork chops and it was very dry. After tasting that, I doubt I'll try the steak. I will come back but not for the food. Ambience/Vibe is what you come here for and the drinks of course.

Been wanting to check this place out but time is always the enemy. Thankfully we had a small window…read morebefore a busy weekend so spoiled us for a little upscale date night. Parking was a bit tough with some of the construction and that also had me concerned that we wouldn't be able to be seated quick however this place has tons of seating. Inside, outside and the bar area all designed for space to sit and just visually welcoming and therefore we were seated with zero wait. Given a few menus and then some waters though the drinks looked really delicious just wasn't a good time but next time. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and the short rib ragu pappardelle. Unfortunately they both came at the same time but small mistakes shouldn't be overblown especially when Megan our waitress was extremely attentive and awesome. Brussels were okay nothing special but that short rib was FIRE! We asked for the horseradish crème friache on the side and honestly was a great call. Not because it was to spicy which was the concern for my wife avoiding it but because the meal was perfect without it! Very excited to come back and maybe catch a few other things to taste maybe even on HappyHour at the bar.
