We specifically planned this stop to fuel up right before embarking on a hike in the area.Unfortunately, upon arrival, we discovered that the business was completely closed. There was absolutely no indication or update regarding this closure on any online platform, meaning we only found out after physically arriving at the location. This lack of accuracy caused a significant inconvenience to our schedule. I highly encourage the management or ownership to update their operating hours on Google and Yelp as soon as possible so future customers do not experience the same frustration.

My mom, dad, and I were planning on hitting up Gingerbread House/Lappert's in Pine when we were…read moredriving back to Phoenix from paddle boarding in Winslow, and were were bummed to see they had a closed sign out on the fence. It was 3pm on a Friday in early October! Why were they closed?? Anyway, we proceeded to drive down the road and see if there was any other ice cream spot in Pine. We saw ice cream at a little truck at the farmer's market, so we stopped. The AI slop posters plastered everywhere killed me. No where on the menu did it say "ice cream," but "gelato," which was fine except the actual product we got was the most mediocre gelato we've ever tasted. There was one woman working the little stand and there was a couple people in front of us. My mom and I ordered the peanut butter sundae with peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and mini peanut butter cups. My dad ordered a twist waffle cone. We saw other people's sundaes coming out, and they looked pretty big so we were excited. However, I would say it was around 40% whipped cream and 60% gelato. It definitely was peanut buttery and chocolatey, but I maybe got two bites with actual peanut butter cups in it. The actual consistency of the gelato was subpar at best. It certainly wasn't worth $9. Our total came out to almost $30 for three items. My mom was the one who brought up the fact that the gelato wasn't very creamy and unlike other gelato we've had by the way. This is what you get when they say "support local."

Huddled under an umbrella to wait for our chance to have empanadas. Love all the outdoor seating, drink selection, and friendliness of the staff. They recommended the Pumpkin Chai Empanada, and it was amazing! Get it before it's gone (seasonal)! What We Ordered: - Picadillo Beef: This was my boyfriend's selection and it said it was fine. He liked mine better, and would pick differently next time. - Bananas Foster: My boyfriend said it was pretty one note. All you could taste is caramelized sugar, and could not taste the banana. Due to that, it was too sweet and he ended up tossing. I detest bananas, so I didn't taste. - Red Chili Beef: This was delicious and perfect to pair with the chimichurri sauce to give it more heat and some veggies. I really liked this one, and definitely would order again. - Pumpkin Chai (Seasonal): OMG! This is amazing! Tastes like a pumpkin pie and absolutely delicious. Perfect pumpkin flavor with sweetness. Stop by for forest views and tasty empanadas if you are in the Strawberry, Arizona area.

We were seated quickly and started deciding what we were going to order; drinks came fairly quickly, my Moscow Mule was good and gingery, the others had the brewery's own ale beer. Our server Americus was absolutely wonderful: as usual I explained my severe allergy to peppers in general and specifically any type of chile. She went inside to consult their "allergy" food list and came back with what I could safely eat. She's the only person ever, here in AZ, to have gone and double-checked the various dishes to keep me safe. Thank you so much Americus :)) We shared the fried green beans - deliciously crispy :) - with the wasabi mayonnaise dip for them; also had the onion rings that were nice and crispy, and although tempting to get a second order of appetizers ....we decided to go on to the mains. Mine was the Patty Melt on rye and fries, cooked medium rare as I like it, with onions on the side, the other orders were the Whisky Bacon burger that was looking very good as well, and another diner had a big salad - not sure which TBH because I was busy eating ...oops! The evening was nice and the patio had a few dogs: Yes, it is dog friendly !! We left sated, with replenished growlers, and looking forward to next time.

The Tap Room at the Old County Inn -- Worth the Trip Tucked…read moreup in Pine, Arizona, the Old County Inn's "Tap Room" runs the full OCI menu but operates as a super-fun, super-small neighborhood bar -- and our friend Nikki is the reason it's worth the trip. Nikki works with the efficiency of a Swiss watch. She can wait on you, serve you, and juggle two other tasks all at once -- chatting the whole time about how great it is to be in Pine. She knows everyone's name, what they usually order, and even a little about who they are. She truly is the hostess with the mostess. The Tap Room is small -- it seats about 25 to 30 -- but it carries an incredible inventory: craft draft beer, tasty wines, and amazing cocktails, plus some great bourbons and whiskeys. No matter how packed it gets (and it gets very busy, all the time, usually standing room only), Nikki is at your table at exactly the right moment to ask if you "need another," want to "order some food," or could use a glass of water. It's amazing to watch, and it creates one of the most fun atmospheres in the whole state of Arizona. They've got live music too -- one- or two-person bands whose singers are part of the crowd, not just there to entertain. It really is "a bar where everyone knows your name." Nikki is the star. She's your hostess, your server, your bartender -- and most importantly, your friend. I couldn't recommend the Tap Room at OCI more. Go see Nikki. As the saying goes, it's worth the trip.
