Fantastic cheeseburger w/bacon and added green chili's. Cold Coors Light, look forward to coming back.

Philly cheese food was good and creamy. I added extra salt afterwards. Service was quick and ambiance was bar style a little on the darker side. Lots of drinks. read more

Wild Horse West - Philly cheese, included chips, pickles and pepperonici. - New American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

This local dive bar has better burgers and steak sandwiches than any burger joint in the valley. From red and white checkered picnic table to buffalo taxidermy on the wall. We always try stopping by after a lake day. Don't expect anything fancy. But your service will be stellar and your food will be delicious. read more

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. read more

It's not a day on the lake if you don't end it at Wild Horse. I've been going here for at least 25 years and the food has stayed consistently fantastic. It's nothing fancy but definitely hits the spot. The burgers are the thickest around. Chilrito is great if you're a fan of Frito pies. Even the grilled cheese is delicious! Cash only but there is an ATM on site. They also have a pretty good beer selection from local breweries. read more

Okay it's just a dive bar, but it's an awesome dive bar! The servers work hard and do a great job especially with the crowd there at lunch. I love their cheesesteak. Hubby likes their hand formed burgers. Everything is value priced and bring cash - it's all they accept. The patio is dog friendly. Tip: go after 1:00. It's really crowded at noon! read more

This is hands down the best burger spot in the west side of town. No frills, just a good burger and a bag of chips for a great price for what you get, and cold beer. read more

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) read more

Visited Wild Horse West during a visit with family in AZ. I was told"we're taking you to our favorite burger place. The restaurant is a bit out of town and very unassuming as you roll up. But the people are awesome and the burgers are fantastic! The menu is short but the burgers are big on flavor. The place has picnic table or bar seating. It gives definite old school bar vibes with 2 big buffalo heads behind the bar. But if you're looking for a great burger, this is the place! read more

Service was good. Hamburgers were ok. Go early as the place was crowded at noon. You are seated at picnic tables. We shared with another couple. Mind you it was busy but I never saw a table wiped down while I was waiting for my food. read more

Yeah, it's a dive, but you know that when you pull into the parking lot. As long as you know that going in, it's a great place to get a quick fix of comfort food and a cold drink. If you're expecting something nicer, then don't bother Burgers, dogs and fries. There aren't any choices out here, but what else do you need when out in this part of town? read more

Best Burger in Phoenix. Fun environment, good service, and the best burger you can find.

Food is simple but great, Burger and Chips, Cheese Burger and Chips, Bacon Cheeseburger and Chips, get the idea. Ambiance is interesting, staff very friendly and helpful, busy during lunch hour-so plan accordingly. Prices very reasonable. Don't pass up the opportunity read more

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. read more

Wild Horse West - Lunch w my daughter!! - New American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

It's in the middle of (no where) pretty much. Reminded us of a Mexican Hacienda home. We had our first experience here & loved it! Food & service were great! Very low key casual. Hand made fresh burgers were delish. Family style seating & bar atmosphere indoors. As offers an outdoor beer garden. Loved it!! read more

Been coming here for 20+ years. Used to be the best burgers hands down. Last few times, not only the people have changed, but the burgers have changed. Not sure what happened?? You missed an even better burger if you have just found this place recently. Sad read more

This place is a local staple! My husband and I went after both saying we had not been there in 20 years. Everything was just as we both had remembered it. The nostalgia made it! The burgers were just awesome! Hubs had a BLT. It was perfect and quaint. Staff were very chill and made it feel like you were a regular. I suggest you definitely need to give it a try! read more

As many have said, this is a by-definition Biker Bar/Watering Hole that you found on the side of a secondary highway. The Outside is white/adobe and quite eye-catching against all the cookie-cutters strip malls and new-builds you see a few miles south of the Lake Pleasant. Inside was adorned with beer ads, hunting trophies and a big TV with old westerns playing. Food was good. I ordered a chili and it was good. My six years old daughter and I shared the burger since she usually have a hard time finishing an adult-sized burger. The burger is good with the patty tasty and cooked to perfection. We ordered one with cheese and bacon, and she ate it very quickly (probably because it was way pass our usual lunch hours and we just spent 3 hrs running around Lake Pleasant Park). Service was friendly but since we got that rather late (about 1:45PM) our server left before we finished the meal and my drink was never refilled. That's my only very slight annoyance. read more

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. read more

Total dive bar/restaurant. Limited menu, but what they do have they do really well !!! The service was fast and friendly. The food even better. The only heads up I will give is they only accept cash, and that was an issue that day as I didn't realize it until after we had ordered. Luckily a friend was able to pay for me and I then Venmo'd them the money. Otherwise there would've been an issue. Will be back next time I'm camping up at Lake Pleasant (with cash next time! Lol) read more

Great service, food was amazing and the place was clean too. Over all I look forward to go back and trying other food items.

This is a place I'd only go for a drink. Skip the food here. Staff were nice and friendly, just didn't make up for the poor quality of food and lack of atmosphere. They really could revamp this place and make it something great, it sure has the potential. read more

They gave the best cheeseburgers and love the old atmosphere ! Service was fast ! Great bartender Pam

Food: I would rate it 3.5 stars. Limited menu, traditional bar fare. Ambiance: Cowboy eclectic. From a photo inside, the place looks like it might have been a real tourist attraction 50 years ago. Now a very worn look inside and out. I would rate it 2.5 stars although I'm sure 50% of patrons might disagree. Service: I would give 5 stars. Waitress we had was very pleasant and attentive. read more

Service was terrible. Waited over an hour and 15 mins and never received our food. Meanwhile tables around us who were seared after us received their food. The waitress did not seem concerned so we canceled our order and left hungry. Definitely will not return any time soon. read more

Absolutely amazing homestyle burgers!! Beers is always cold too!! Used to ride the quads out here with the boys 20 years ago. Before everything built up around us. Was always a great ride with an amazing reward at WHW!! read more

Very typical Biker type bar with great hamburgers! A great place to stop after 4 wheeling or spending a play day at Lake Pleasant.

This is a fun place. I love coming out here with my parents for drinks, burgers, & chili.

Ok, for all of the snowbirds and visitors. I am a native of Phoenix and in the 70's this was way out of the city limits and a last stop before you get to Lake Pleasant. In the late 70's and through the 80's as a Deputy Sheriff I would stop by and if it wasn't too crowded, I would get a burger and a coke. The parking was always packed. I am not sure who the owners are currently but as memory serves me the last name of Brown may have been the owner back in the day. It is an Arizona gem for all of us who grew in the valley. Stopping by brings back many good memories and of course great burgers. read more

You will have no problems deciding from a burger or a hot dog With Chips Well worth the trip well worth the price. Plenty of beer choices and an outdoor patio. read more

Wild Horse West - This is a little out of the way from anywhere with a huge parking lot - New American Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

This place is a gem in the middle of nowhere with friendly staff and a simple menu of burgers, dogs and chili but all delicious. The Philly cheesesteak is a must order. They only take cash. read more

Got the grilled cheese, not grilled. The cheese was not even warm, will never go again. No stars read more

Food is limited and very casual, but good. Service is really good. Ambiance is a little hole in the wall that has been around for more than 50 years, that I know about. Fun history with this place and very affordable. read more

Bring cash they don't take anything but cash and remember this is not fast food so don't be in a rush! Luckily we brought cash after such a long ride. We didn't know it was cash only. We got 4 American burgers. They come w a bag of chips. We also ordered a frito pie. Food was really good the burgers are thick and delicious. There is a patio though we were unable to sit outside for our food. We were on our way the the airport but it took us 45 minutes to get our burgers. We had to ask and were going to take it to go but the waitress pulled through. She knew we were in a hurray. She never came back w our check. We finally went to the bar and paid. Quick service is not something you should go in hoping for. But it's perfect if you have time to kill. The food was freshly made read more
