The 16 best American restaurants in Apache Junction

I recently ordered the #7, which includes two slices of delicious french toast paired with bacon (you have several meat options to choose from), scrambled eggs cooked well (with the option of two eggs cooked to your liking), and extra crispy hash browns (you can select your preferred type of potato). I must say, the food was exceptional! The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive and genuinely friendly. It was nice to see all the waitresses working together, assisting each other with various tables. We had one waitress who took our order, another who brought out our food, and a third one who kept our beverages refilled. Our drinks never dipped below half full, and all three of them checked in on us to see how everything was. They serve breakfast and lunch with operating hours from 6 AM to 2 PM, but they're closed on Mondays. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a great meal and excellent service! There was plenty of parking and it's free. The location is off the main streets kind of hidden on a side street behind the major strip mall.

Went for breakfast, and when I got my food everything but my VERY oily egg whites was cold. The butter had gone back to solid on my toast, bacon was cold and hard, and the hash browns were like they just came out of the fridge. Asked for ketchup to try and help with the hash browns 3 times, it didn't, just made them more cold since it was kept in the fridge. We were in the side room and felt overlooked despite trying to get their attention multiple times. My kids split a breakfast (that was also cold) and somehow it was still over $40 for underwhelming food (2 meals) and service for 3 people. I will give them another try if I'm back in AJ since I prefer the mom&pop places over chains, but my expectations will be more cautious.

Honest priced food. Good options and quality for the family of 6 experience.

The food is good and reasonably priced but the staff act like they are programmed robots. All are friendly but it feels like an act, no one has a personality, they don’t engage on a personal level. I enjoy places that are personable.

The service and the food is always great! One of the best breakfast spots!

Really cozy and friendly experience. The food came out very quickly and tasted great. The waitress topped up our coffee and water frequently. I would highly recommend visiting this place. I'll definitely be back.

This is my favorite spot in AJ. Close to home, good eats, and a great staff. Well worth a visit. Their breakfast is my favorite, especially the biscuits and gravy. Their crepes are awesome too. Honestly never tried lunch though.

We came for lunch on a Thursday and had an awesome experience! Tanner was a fabulous server, while simultaneously managing the bar. He was welcoming, funny, and gave us good information about the menu and drink options! Tanner also let us know that they do not fry anything. Everything is either grilled or smoked! They have a large selection of Arizona meads, something that I adore, and I chose to get Drinking Horn’s Blue Tooth mead. So good! My husband and I ordered burgers. They were cooked wonderfully and we had a great lunch! I am gluten-free and was able to get a gluten-free bun. Can’t wait to come back.

If I could give it more stars, I would. Family owned and operated. The staff made us feel at home, so very pleasant. Tanner explained that they grill or smoke everything and you can tell. The food was really good. They host some great events. One of these times we will have to come for Thursday tasting. I had the pizza burger and blue cheese potato salad. The burger was done exactly how I requested and the salad was perfectly balanced, not overpowering. My husband had the chicken panini and side salad. The chicken had a little spice and was delicious. The salad was a generous helping of greens with a light balsamic dressing. The Outlaw brew was really good. We asked Tanner for a recommendation and he picked it perfectly. Meeting the owners Candice and Denny were an added bonus. Oh, and the beer handlebars on the ceiling were priceless (Photo attached - sorry, we couldn't wait to start eating).

This is a must see place to understand the wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff here at the Handlebar. This is my to go place when im in Mesa Arizona.Great entertainment every weekend with a band playing. I was lucky enough to meet with THE JOKERS and get a Pic with them. So next time you're in Apache Junction in Arizona stp on in and see for yourself. You most definitely won't be disappointed

The owner of this bar is an amazing woman. Very friendly place. Live music all the time. They have options if you want to eat or drink inside or outside. I visit there once a week to play trivia. The food is good, but if your looking for deep fried food this isn't for you. Everything is cooked or grilled. Burgers are wonderful 😋.

Rolled in here while visiting our son at ASU and going on a late afternoon hike at Lost Dutchman SP. Hostess was so nice and seated us quickly. They had a special for our Friday dinner of Pecan Smoked ribs. The menu is not extensive, but definitely some different items. I had the stuffed pepper and it was outstanding. Beer selection is so varied and should suite any taste. Service had a small issue with timing of the meals, but the drinks and quality of the food made ip for the small issue. Janet was a great server with a warm and welcoming smile!

Great atmosphere outdoor with a stage and live music. Large area for many groups and plenty of space to walk around. Small area for a dance floor but it works. Mostly beers no hard liquor and they do serve food. Not a huge variety of foods this place is more of a bar. Definitely worth checking out even if you aren’t close by

Surprise! in the middle of nowhere is this gem of a restaurant/bar! live music, a relaxed, almost Caribbean atmosphere and Wow! Greatcm wine list combined with an out of the world chef. I had the skewers which were more than enough for 2 people. steak and shrimp with crisp fresh veggies that made me feel like I was eating healthy yet REALLY enjoying my food! Honestly worth the drive! also! the porkchop was huge, well cooked but not dry at all. Will def be back!!

Delicious food, great company got the queso was amazing and my fiance and I shared a prime rib. I want to thank the owner for clarifying the issue we arnt to sure why the back of the car was chalked and now the back of the car is scratched 😞

We looked for somewhere to eat in Apache Junction, Arizona and Dirtwater Springs popped up with good reviews and it did not disappoint. The burger was perfect and Em enjoyed her chicken finger basket. The owners daughter was there she took care of our needs and helped with good information.

We had a great meal here. I had a Bloody Mary and the olive burger. The burger was cooked perfectly! We will definitely be back! Thank you Chloe for the great service!

This place is very special and amazing! The Food is so good, makes you wanna slap your grandma!! Don’t do that! Everyone is so nice, ask for Chloe! She’s the best!

Don't let the rustic look fool you, this place has some great food and drinks! I had their Rueben and fries and they were excellent, the perfect amount of saurkraut on it too. One of their special drinks is the Salt River Shootout, I highly recommend it, I wound up getting 2 lol! A very welcoming staff and very friendly patrons make this family owned restaurant a great place to try.

Here from cali, I stopped in with the dogs. Tbone is on special and a couple of drinks later we left with a full belly and some good laughs. Inside is something you will have to stop and see

Love the atmosphere. Love the service. The food, not so much. It is sad that this place can't get a better cook. This place has so much potential to be the best place to go in AJ. Invest in an actual cook that will take pride in your restaurant and plate fantastic food.

Wow! This little ice cream parlor has amazing ice cream and shaved ice! It’s a little shop, the decor goes perfectly with the ghost town. Their caramel and coffee ice cream was really good! I didn’t know shaved ice was so good until I tried the prickly pear one! Ask for prickly pear with a little bit of lime. They have clean restrooms. The staff is very nice and helpful. Totally recommended!

Very beautiful place to go out with your family the minors grill an icrecream parlor has very good food excellent service very fast on getting your orders out the window

Service was good. We split a Junkyard dog and fries, which was a hot dog and fries topped with chili, cheese, and onions. Choices are hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, salads, or quesadillas. You order and can eat outside at picnic tables. There is also and inside where you can order ice cream. The food wasn't amazing, but it was good and the employees were friendly. I think it is important to try to support local businesses.

Fantastic ice cream with a variety of unique flavors and big serving sizes for their three different cone types. Good seating and the line moves fast. Great immersive Western atmosphere with a cool treat and fine service makes a great day!

I tend to not write bad reviews that often and this one isn't about the food or the atmosphere, but about the humanitarian - human kindness that was simply not there when needed. Today, there was an elderly man who was experiencing a medical crisis and while assisting, I was asked if I could get a cup of ice for him. The nearest place was the Miners' Grill, where I had just had lunch. I ran up, said there was a main throwing up large amounts of blood and needing ice. The person taking the orders response was, " I told them to call 911" and would not give a cup of ice, as they needed to figure it out on their own. The unkindness and lack of human compassion is not acceptable. The family had called 911 and was waiting desperately for the paramedics to arrive. Luckily, ice was obtained from the Mother's Lode Mercantile who was extremely helpful and the family was grateful for their kindness and help. I will never go back to the Miners' Grill!

I found a roach in my burger and the owner and his employee were extremely rude. Apparently it is ran by a family who are very short tempered and mean to it's patrons. We decided to eat at the steakhouse across the way and the staff there were kind and the food was great. Do not eat at the miners grill.

DEFINITELY EAT HERE!!!!!! Best food great service!!!! The best and most nicest people you will ever meet. Food is amazing!!! They make sure the food is as you want! Highly recommend the miners grill!!!!!

I don’t know the new guy’s name (tatted fella), but he was killing it. Was super patient while he was figuring stuff out, highly professional, and kind! The manager/shift lead on duty was also super nice and patient with him. Food was hot, too! Best Jack I’ve found in the valley.

7 out of 10 times your order will be wrong or completely missing items. The other 3 times it will be cold or old. The employees obviously don't care about their jobs or customers. They're often rude and will ignore customers at the front. I've watched numerous customers on multiple visits get tired of being ignored and just walk out. The employees in the back will make eye contact, then pretend they didn't see you. One man was working drive thru and, maybe 2 minutes after I walked in, leaned back to harshly say, "You're just going to have to wait." I was waiting, patiently. I literally hadn't said or done anything to get the aggressive response. And if you choose drive thru, be prepared to wait 20-25 minutes. That seems to be the average.

It's typical fast food ...if you go in though it's a crapshoot if you get acknowledged or even your order taken within 10 min ...

Just had the employees lie to me about items no longer being on the menu when they still are. The bonus jack and sourdough scrambler. Seemed hesitant to wanna make any food. I ended up just driving away. This was at 2am.

Cold burger, soda fountain dirty.it cost 28.00 for 1 burger ,One combo and milk shake. expensive for cold burgers man at counter seemed irritated that I ask for a fresh 9$ burger and did not suggest the sale

This location is very slow at getting orders out and to you. They're in no rush but the food wasn't stale and was hot so thats a plus.

This was on 10/24/2024 at 8pm. Y’all need to clean your drink dispensers out regularly, my iced tea came out smelling and tasting funky that I had to dump the drink out and go brush my teeth because after only 2 sips, it left that funky taste in my mouth.

The experience was better than the food which I think was overpriced. Spectacular views of the superstition mountains, and an interesting display of Old West memorabilia. There was live music which totally fit the vibe of the place.

Less than a half hour from Mesa you'll find The Goldfield Ghost Town. Take a break from exploring the recreation of an old mining town and have lunch at the Mammoth Steakhouse and Saloon. I enjoyed a great chopped sirloin burger. Their homemade salsa was good. The atmosphere for adults and children alike! Beverages are almost $6 and the only water is bottled and $2.95 so don't be surprised. Lunch for three was $66 for the 8 oz burger and fries, two turkey sandwiches with chips, and three soft drinks. We left with full bellies and I don't feel cheated.

Very expensive, not worth it. I asked for two waters, it would have been nice to let me know they're $3 each, half the cost of my meal was bottled water - $6. I ordered a grilled cheese (American) and fries. Cheap bread, cheap cheese, decent fries, terrible value ($12). Great view of the mountain(s). Bit warm at 4pm inside, rundown and dirty all around. Men's bathroom is on its last leg. Overall an okay experience.

Good vibes and great selection of beers. Overall aesthetic is awesome. 10/10 would recommend

We love this bar! Cowboy Dan is hilarious! Love the Trump paraphernalia! Even our friends from the UK (who are super liberal) had an absolutely great time. If you’re expecting a 5 star dining experience, or you have thin skin, this isn’t the place for you. If you like an eclectic bar and have a sense of humor you’ll love it here! P.S: they have Alaskan amber on tap 👏

I’ve been here a couple of times now. The service is slow, the well water makes any fountain drink taste off, and the steaks are terrible. But the live music is nice and outside seating is sort of scenic. The old west feel is fun for kids for sure.

Very good food, friendly service, and nice music. It's worth a visit, and the price is reasonable.

Music was great - Canyon State Band.... Waitress made us cash out way before we left. Stayed another couple hours and had to continually go to the bar to get drinks. She suffered cause she did not get a very good tip. Also did not check on us after food was delivered. A guy did and he was great. Never offered to bring a to go container either. Not happy with her service!!!!! Marcus....a great guy...Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. I appreciate you taking care of us and discussing my concerns. My concerns were taken care of and I sincerely believe improvements will be made. Have a great weekend my friend!!!

My first time in Arizona, only bar I've been to in AZ, went with my friend Sam who i went to visit. Cool place, had a few drinks and a lil bite then back to the pad for more fun.

Good ole Country Bar indeed. Highway Outlaws band was very good. Hardest working bartender I've seen in a long time, congrats to her, she gets 5 stars for service. Food was OK. Good place to dance.

We came in on a Sunday for lunch and we are so glad we did! We live in the neighborhood and it will now be our go-to spot. We can’t wait to try it on a Friday or Saturday night with a live band!

I have been here on and off for many years. I think this time it shows the most potential. I had the most attentive service this time. I love what they have done with the stage and dance floor section. Much more open and more room for dancing. Also really just cleaner looking presentation wise. The bands sound was much better this way. Note to the venue. DO NOT CHANGE THIS. You finally nailed it. I had a simple chicken quesadilla. Flavor was good. The salsa was much better than I expected. Sour cream didn’t show. But I don’t need the calories. So no worries. Overall my most recent expense was pretty decent. We will see how they do going forward. If you are in three area, check them out. They also have live music Friday and Saturday with dancing. Big perk.

This bar is fantastic. The entertainment is great, the servers are nice, bartender Shannon is the best!!! Karoke on Tuesday nights is fun. Very comfortable bar. I enjoy coming here!

Awesome location and great prices and enviroment . Freshley rebuilt and great dance floor . Also amazing staff not to mention the delicious food and great fun for all !!!!! Thanks skies bar xoxoxo

Just a bad experience all around. The guy who was the cook was outside smoking when I pulled up and yes he washed his hands and wore gloves but somehow smokers don't realize that smoke still stays on them. The conversation that started was about politics and was very unorthodox. The service, food and atmosphere all were not up to par. Would not recommend.

Been coming to this place for years this was my worst experience ever the cook was very rude period. The waitress was nice but the place was dirty period. Looks like hes been. Using the egg ball? Forever. Should be changing that out often... Also my waffles were burnt in my sausage and bacon the cook was trying to hide behind waffle mix.. Also touching food with no gloves.

Food was quick tasted great. Highly recommend. Toast with a little burnt

Not sure if it’s just in the summer time when the old people arnt here or if the old cooks are gone, but today the food was so bad I may never go to Waffle House again, the server was great friendly nice and very helpful, The food was not. Idk if the old guy just needs to retire or needs to be retrained but he didn’t give us grits on our Togo order instead hash browns which were under cooked, the toasts wasn’t toast is was still bread and soggy after sitting in the broken yolk which shouldn’t have been there nor that runny for an over medium egg, the other egg was runny whites. Worst experience with food at Waffle House ever and honestly for 55 bucks I think I’ll stick to making good food at home and not pay for someone who should just go home.

Don’t buy a steak dinner from Waffle House. You will be sending it back, had to ask the waitress many times to refill my coffee cup instead of just taking ignition and getting it for me before it got cold. Another problem I have is I think I left an item There, but I can’t get through to talk to anyone to see if it’s still there or if I left it there, Waffle House don’t go to steaks stick with breakfast. Your omelettes are delicious.

While the food was good. We finally got our drinks after we finished our meals, even though we were the only customers in the place and asked twice. The 3 stars is for the good food, the negative 2 stars are for lack of service. Once drinks finally arrived, we had empty dishes piled up all over table. Then waffles finished the meal, they were good ... however it took 3 mins to get someone's attention to ask for syurp. We weren't greeted, nor thanked .. I don't even think the two young male employees realized we left even after we paid. This is the FIRST bad reviews or experience at Waffle House ever for us, we drove 45 mins to come eat here as a weekend treat for our family. Very sad.

I love to go here after taking my step daughter with me Dove hunting. It’s a nice tradition. The waffles, bacon and eggs always hit the spot

1st time, Western Burger was very good!! $9. Tried the Full size order of Elote Fries, sooo much food! My mom and I split the Burger and took 80% of the fries platter home! I'd eat here again. Workers were all friendly and the eating area was clean and large.

Great food, super clean, organized, and FRESH. I had the classic burger and a Chicago dog, and both did not disappoint t at all! The best part is the food is good quality, smash burgers made fresh from balled ground beef, and the prices are super reasonable

If you're on a road trip, or just want something that worth spending your money on, I would recommend Fresh Press. Friendly service and fantastic food. I would not mind driving up here from our home 100 miles away. Clean restaurant located in a quiet shopping center. I recommend their burgers and shakes, and their fries are on another level. Highly recommend 👌. I would love to see a location near Tucson, you'll get a lot of customers with your great food.

Picked up some burgers. We love these burgers. It was so fresh and cooked so well. I do like the smothered fries, but I wish the fries were more crispy prior to the smothering. I've given a review a year ago, and its gone, so this is an update, and they're still very good.

Well I’ve been here 4 times now and I am just jaw dropped by how amazing this burger spot is! I do not like French fries and I have to eat everything here. It’s not a smash trend or a pub burger, it’s just an insanely good burger. A staple to the burger community in the southwest!

What an incredible find! Great and delicious burgers (the Inferno was one of the best burgers I've head in the valley), an excellent Sonoran dog, and a true vanilla shake. The Sriracha mayo is excellent to dip the expertly crisped fries in. On top of it all, it's very well priced for the top notch quality you get. Can't wait to see more of these pop up all over the valley. Great business model and quality ingredients.

The burgers are amazing! They are a little more expensive than the other burger places in the area, but it's worth it! You can taste the freshness. Their fries are also delicious! I've visited this place a few times and I have never been disapointed! Everyone is always so friendly.

I’ve been coming to this Denny’s for many years, and to be completely honest, there was a time when I had to stop. The service had gone downhill, the menu was constantly out of items, and the attention to guests was far from what you’d expect. It just didn’t feel like the place I used to enjoy. That all changed when David stepped in and took over. From the moment he started managing, you could see and feel the difference. The entire atmosphere has turned around—staff are friendlier, more attentive, and genuinely seem to care about the customer experience. The food is back to being exactly what you come to Denny’s for: hot, fresh, flavorful, and served right every time. No more missing items, no more excuses—just great meals delivered consistently. What stands out the most, though, is how spotless the restaurant is now. Clean tables, clean floors, clean restrooms—the kind of detail that makes you comfortable and lets you know things are being run properly. It really feels like a completely different restaurant, one that’s welcoming and enjoyable again. Thanks to David’s leadership and the team he’s built, I’m happy to say I’ve returned as a regular customer. I truly appreciate the effort that’s gone into turning this location around, and I look forward to many more meals here. Great job to David and the entire crew—you’ve absolutely earned this 5-star review!

I’ve been to many a Denny’s in my day. But a waitress by the name of Angelica really made this Denny’s the greatest I’ve ever been too. Phenomenal service, Fantastic food, and Friendly service from this wonderful waitress really put my experience over the top. She really put the smile in “service with a smile.”

Food was excellent!! Angelica, was the best server we’ve ever had. Will definitely come back to get the greatest waitress again, Angelica.

Daniele was my server. She was fantastic, efficient, warm welcoming, contagious smile & remembered every little detail about my order, you can tell she’s done this for a long time! I ordered a T-bone breakfast, she offered cheese and onion on my hash-browns (never had before, it was delicious) the establishment was clean, organized and everyone was ready to work, had excellent team work as well. Enjoyed my time & will be back!

I don't know what's going on with restaurants nowadays. They're charging almost twice what they did before Covid-19, and you don't even get a refill on your coffee. Yet they expect at least an 18% tip, which I usually give 20% or better. 🤔 The $30 to $50 price includes an 18% tip. Since restaurants have almost doubled their prices, provide less and sometimes not as good of a meal, plus in some cases the service is poor and even bad at times. I am going to return to the way we used to tip our server. If they don't offer to refill coffee or other fountain drink, 10 to 15 percent, depending on the rest of the service. If the food is cold or has no too little taste, 10% max, since most of the time it's as if they could care less about my satisfaction so why should I care if they go home with an extra 5 dollars or not. I truly hate being this way, but when 2 people go to breakfast at Denny's, and the bill is $50 and change, and you don't even get offered a refill of a $4.49 cup of coffee, then it's time to start showing your dissatisfaction. I swear, if there's ever another crisis like Covid-19 again, I will not order out just to help any restaurant stay afloat because they are now showing their application by charging the same as they did during Covid-19 or more, and providing even less service than ever before. While we're making may 10% if that more than we did before Covid-19. Please, if you receive the same kind of service or are feeling, these lower end restaurants are charging way more than the increased cost of doing business, and the servers are cutting back on the service then join me in letting these restaurant know the way we used to let them know, by withholding some if not the majority of the tip.

Haven't been in this Dennys for over 6 months. It had steadily gone downhill. Very dirty, grumpy servers, they were always running out of food. Today walking in was greeted by smiling employees. Everything looked clean. Waitress was wonderful. She had no problem with going to get me extra butter. Manager walked around checking to see if everyone was happy or needed anything. I was amazed to see how different things are. Will definitely be coming back more often. Keep up the great work !

Our server, Brittney, was amazing! She memorized our whole order perfectly — no notes needed — and made sure everything came out just right. She was super fast, friendly, and provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. She made our experience great, and we’ll definitely be back and asking for her next time.

This Arby's man ..if it's fresh it's 🔥, if it's not it's 😬. Wish they would offer better deals but I guess when you stand apart from so many fast food restaurants you don't have to. Consider Arby's the date night of fast food restaurant because of the cost.

Ordered 4 classics a large curly fry drove home, had half of a large curly fry. I called back 5 times let the phone ring until it hung up. Nobody answered to correct my order. Waited in the drive through for more than ten minutes This place is a joke.

This Arby's had people in drive through painting which made getting to the window to pay hard. The food was cold, Luke warm at best. For a national chain the food should be much better then it was. Very dissapointed.

Went thru the drive thru and ordered two meals, The food was good but the Coke and Root beer drinks were flat, I know from seeing with my own eyes that the employees get drinks for themselves, So for the outrageous prices that are being charged you think they would care. Stupid me.

Their food is good and most of the staff are nice but they don’t offer online ordering so their deals are useless! Imagine how much customers can save if they avail of the online ordering but they can’t because they are not offered here and the staff don’t have an explanation why!

Tried their angus sub. It was $ 9.20 of nasty. Big fan of their regular roast beef sandwich, but not this angus sub. Angus cheese stuff was slimey. Bun was o.k.

Place is dirty and disgusting walked in to get food all young kids standing around acting like idiots. I noticed FLY'S EVERYWHERE and it's because they leave the drive Thur window open when making the food. Told the manager about it and he acted like he could careless. I Will not be returning to this location.

This is a difficult review because I love the atmosphere and the people there, but I have to be honest. There were 2 of us. I had a burger and fries, and she had a salad and a couple of sodas we also had 2 slices of pie and it was 70$ The salad was mostly iceberg lettuce 9 onion rings for 9$ probably frozen Kirkland brand Fries were not crispy at all The burger was dry The pie was good but small and expensive Maybe this place isn't known for its food. idk I loved the live country music and the friendly people and staff

Had a great time and service was fantastic! Music was great! Overall the food was good but the Gumbo had all the ingredients but was over cook and no spirit (no seasoning, very bland and unforgettable)! I would recommend staying with the typical food for a bar/restaurant. Took a star off for the Gumbo and added 2 stars for the fantastic service and music!

I went with four friends on Sunday afternoon for their "American Idol" style singing contest. The contest was great entertainment - you can vote on contestants, and there also is a 50/50 raffle. Get there early because the place is packed. My turkey wrap was good as were the cocktails. Our server was friendly and as attentive as she could be with such a crowd to serve. They also had other staff checking on us. Highly recommend for a fun Sunday afternoon.

Great restaurant, nice, friendly staff. We tried it for breakfast and a week later tried their lunch. Staff remembered us, which was nice.

The live music was great!! The food was ok, the staff very friendly. It's a good place for people over 50, I can't say to much more about the place until I go back to get a better feel for the place.

Great food and service, no nice and cold inside that I almost forgot it was 100 degrees outside!

I used to ride here with my dad and uncle, years ago when it was Los Vaccaro's, Jim was like a grandpa. The new owners have done a much better job with Jim's bar than previous owners. The food is great and the staff is super friendly. The Country Idol contest was great!

First of all, the food was great. My Western Bacon Cheeseburger was cooked perfectly and they put plenty of barbecue sauce and covered the bottom what's the correct amount of onion rings. The Criss cut fries were fresh, hot, and was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere inside is kinda strange, because I have never been there to get my food and not be the only customer inside. Service was okay, not horrible but nothing special either. When it comes to food, all that really matters is how good it is. The food is always is really good here.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pretty good location to eat some fried food. The french fries here were especially crisp and wonderfully salted. Fried zucchini with ranch was pretty good too. The burger was not the tastiest, but it was filling, very generous with the meat. Cashier was friendly and welcoming. There's accessible parking.

Daisy, thank you for being so wonderful! Your warmth and infectious smile made our day. You were so kind and thoughtful to my two dogs, and giving them hamburger patties was the sweetest gesture. We appreciate your kindness and hope to see you again soon.

I had an amazing experience at Carl’s Jr.! The food was fresh and delicious, and the restaurant was very clean. Special thanks to Eduardo for his outstanding service—he was friendly, attentive, and made sure my order was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I work nearby and thought I would give um a try. Bad move. Spent $15 on a burger combo. The burger was less than warm. The service was less than good... never will I go there again and I will be sure nobody at my office goes there either. I threw it in the trash at the restaurant. I refuse to eat food I don't trust 😞

I stopped by two times in one day at the Carl’s Jr. in Apache Junction no matter when I go they’re always super nice always with a smile and friendly food was extremely hot. The first crew during the day always smiling and helpful. Megan in the second shift was super nice well appreciated much appreciated. Can’t wait to see you again. Thanks Carl Junior

The food was great, just like always burger. Cooked. Really nice fries were really tasty. And the drinks and must switch is what it comes down to it. The prices are sky high compared to what they actually should be. I understand that things are going up. But they're making 200% profit, which is not fair to people that are trying to support their business so they can stay open as a local business for Apache Junction, but. It does need work.

I pulled up to your establishment at 6:46 PM and unfortunately, the gentleman that was at the window up charge me for something that I was told that tax went up even though I’ve been there multiple times and I’ve ordered the same thing and has come down to 1570 I think he is scamming. I will let the general manager know. I will call up there tomorrow morning. He was very rude and short and seemed like he had a bad attitude. I don’t normally write reviews, but the way that he was acting was extremely unprofessional and I just want you guys to know Who you have working for you that’s serving your guest I also wanna add that I asked for bacon to be added to it and no bacon👎👎👎

Every time we visit, the fries are placed on the counter 4-5 minutes before the burgers are ready, making them cold. Fries should be the last item placed on the counter. Also, the employees never smile; they seem disinterested in serving customers. Who is managing this Wendy's?

I first know things happen, okay cool whatever right? But WHERE IS THE MANAGER, that allowed this cold, hold up it won’t cold!! It was reheated more thank likely. I ordered a triple Dave’s burger with cheese and chili cheese fries. The fires were good tho!. Let’s try yall practicing slowing it down a bit and getting it right. The face I ordered a triple and yall gave me meat that’s about to be chili meat? This is not good. I’ll end it this, I hope the MANAGEMENT, starts checking their hold times. and not rehiring the button. Thanks anywa, I wine be returning or ordering from THIS location. Wendy’s burgers are usually fresh and tasty. Ciao

The worst meal I've ever had, burger ice cold, french fries ice cold couldn't eat them, chicken nuggets ice cold and hard as a rock asked for sweet and sour, received sweet chili, my coke was the highlight of my meal. I was there at 4:30 and it tasted like lunch leftovers, never again

My boyfriend and I went through the drive-through recently and had a really disappointing experience with an employee named Summer. When we first pulled up, we told her we had a code from the Wendy’s app because we’re still learning how the rewards system works. We then realized it was a scan code, not a number, so we said we were ready to order. From the start, her tone was rude and dismissive — she snickered and said “okay” with attitude. Throughout the order she continued to sound annoyed, rushing us and snapping things like “okay, what drink?” and “what sauce?” Then when we pulled up to the window, we saw her in the back staring and smiling in a way that felt unprofessional. We told the guy at the window we had a free 10-piece nugget reward, and he scanned the phone. We waited about 5–10 minutes while the card reader rebooted. During that time, Summer made comments about another employee “probably just breaking it.” When the reader finally worked, they handed back my boyfriend’s card, and we left thinking the nuggets were in the bag — but they weren’t. My boyfriend went inside, and the guy who had helped us started to look into it. Summer came up while he was helping and said in a snarky tone that it was a “separate order” and “wasn’t even on there.” I showed her my phone with the free 10-piece reward, and she suddenly said “oh shit” and started talking into her headset to the manager. The manager never came out even though she had helped earlier at the drive-through. Finally, Summer said, “Okay, we’ll do that, but next time you need to say it into the speaker,” even though I had mentioned it at the very beginning. The whole interaction felt rude, unprofessional, and confusing. Mistakes happen, but there’s no reason to treat customers disrespectfully or make them feel like they’re the problem for trying to use a reward correctly.

I normally don’t like to post negative reviews but today I took my dad to get a burger he loves Wendy’s Baconator and normally I don’t have any issues but the young lady working the drive through was very rude and just about tossed my dad’s burger at me all because she was trying to hand me a Lg drink which we didn’t order so I thought maybe they were giving me someone else’s order and when I asked her if my order was correct she got very snappy and had a bad attitude and said so you don’t want the drink? I told her no and then she set it aside and rudely handed me my dad’s bag and she gave me a bad attitude. I’m very disappointed with the service we received today. My dad also couldn’t eat the bacon because it was burnt.

Been coming to this location since it has opened. Spend $500 dollars a month on food at this location. Management personalities have turned around and become very friendly. Lucas is getting better with his communication skills but could use a little more work. Food quality is better now also.
