Buffalo Chip Saloon and Steakhouse in Cave Creek is a quintessential Western roadhouse offering an authentic saloon experience. The establishment features Texas-style BBQ, multiple bars, live music, bull-riding, and western dance lessons. With a menu boasting smoked beef brisket, glazed burnt ends, pork butt and ribs along with various sides, it's a paradise for BBQ enthusiasts.
I can't believe that we've lived here four years and we are just now eating at the Buffalo Chip. We went earlier in the evening because we just wanted to check this place out without the weekend crowd. The Saturday Night Line Dancing Lessons were just starting as we finished our meal and cocktail. We definitely want to return soon because we loved the food, drink, and atmosphere.

Had a great time in the VIP area. Lucky to have that spot because the rest of the place was so crowded. We had all you can eat buffet and a private bar. Service was great up there. Rodeo was fun. Bathroom situation needs improved. One bathroom for hundreds of drinking patrons. Lines were insane. Otherwise we had a great time.
Valerie M — Google review
Fun place, very rustic. VIP seats are expensive, and we were initially given a table with restricted views so we could only see half the arena. We had to move to the arena seats for the first part of the show to be able to see properly. We were then offered another table with a better view as a party did not show. Food was good BBQ buffet style, but got cold quickly. Would have been nice to have a sweet dessert like a bit of apple pie or a brownie to help justify the $65 charge. They then over charged us by not deducting the full deposit we paid from the final bill. They did resolve this very quickly.

We had such a fun 1st time. Love the atmosphere. Our waiterres was amazing. I hate leaving a bad review...but, the fish fry was horrible. The walleye and cod was super old and cold. And I got a fish bone logged in my throat. And the skin left on it, isn't very tasty.

ALWAYS GREAT! We had prime rib on the Special with Salad and green beans which were cooked to perfection! 2 of us split the “Cowboy Cut” and still came home with leftovers! Harold’s has live music nightly and a variety of games, pool tables, bags and more! Note! Parking lot is dirt and may be uneven… so definitely no high heels!

My girlfriend and I came from out of town. We went here to get the “rodeo” experience and man did we have a time. The population was 95% white and the rest 5% black. But everyone was so kind. The food was amazing, I enjoyed the beef brisket, and the drinks were daily priced.

A couple of friends and I went to have a good time and this place did not disappoint! All the staff was incredible but one person stood out to us for being such a gentleman at every turn, Gadget. He was so kind and made sure that we were always safe and had everything that we could possibly need. When our night came to a close, one of our friends wondered away from the group and Gadget helped us locate her and made sure we all safely left together. I will absolutely be coming back and bringing many more friends!

What a fun and unforgettable night at this live rodeo restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric and the atmosphere full of authentic country charm. The highlight of the night was definitely the live rodeo — such a unique experience to enjoy great food and drinks while watching real riders in action. It added a whole new level of excitement you don’t get anywhere else. The food was just as impressive — hearty, flavorful, and made with care. The brisket, smoked outdoors right on site, was absolutely mouthwatering. You could taste the hours it spent on that smoker. The drinks were cold and well poured, perfect for kicking back after cheering on the rodeo riders. And when the rodeo wrapped up, the party didn’t stop. The dance floor came alive with music, laughter, and line dancing. Whether you're dancing or just soaking it all in, this place delivers on every level — food, entertainment, and atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again — a true one-of-a-kind spot!

Harold's Cave Creek Corral is a historic steakhouse and saloon that has been a staple in Cave Creek for over 80 years. Originally opened as the Corral Bar in 1935, it was later renamed when Harold Gavagan purchased it in 1950. The establishment offers a wide-ranging menu, live music, country dancing, and theme nights.
Great food and friendly environment. It seems this is a local hangout which says a lot. I had the chicken fried steak which was excellent. Tender meat with a light and crispy crust. Smothered in white cream gravy and real mashed potato's. Entrees come with soup or salad. I opted for the soup which was cream of mushroom and was very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Have come several times for breakfast which was excellent.

I was here mid-afternoon on a Friday. Service was meh until she was done cashing out, and the new crew came in, but I was leaving by then. Instead of asking if I'd like another drink, it was more of a priority to check messages, and that was right in front of me. She had already checked out, although she hadn't punched out. Go somewhere else if you're going to completely ignore me, texting. I sat at the bar, and she was right there in front of me, facing the other way. I waited awhile while she took care of the patrons on each side of me, but wasn't too interested in helping me. They were obviously regulars, but to skip me while I'm sitting right in the middle, no extra chairs, was bad service, It took awhile just to be acknowledged and it took so long to ask if I wanted to order food that I decided to just do an appetizer as I'm sure both would've come out at the same time if I also ordered an entree. It was the end of her shift, and I really got the end of the shift service. Once she was gone I was able to get a drink refill and was treated like I was there. Go take a look at my picture, Am I so hideous that I don't deserve good service? If so, put a sign at the front, "Ugly people will be served, but only after all the beautiful people. Sincerely, Mgmt." I only had the potato skins. The potato part was great with no raw potato, but they could've dispersed the toppings evenly and a little more generously. You can tell where they started to put the toppings on and which one was last. Would you make a pizza by putting all the toppings in the center and not evenly distribute said toppings? An extra 10 seconds of effort would've made them perfect Since I had so much time to myself and was right in front of the margarita handle, I noticed that the handle is absolutely filthy. More than a few shifts worth of dirt buildup. Could've cleaned that up in the amount of time it takes to... send a text. I'll go back. It's not my first time there but it's the first time I've sat at the bar alone. I've left a positive review on my other account which was 5 stars. It was a great place every other time. This time, though, the service was insulting, to say the least, and the handle was nasty. It leaves one to wonder that things out of sight might even be worse? There's no excuse for a dirty handle, especially if there's time to text. I'm writing this hoping that it is t aken seriously and other customers aren't treated like this as I'm sure it's a rare event. You have a great place, and the service energy should match that, even if it's during a shift change. No steps of service were followed. No welcome, no intro, no suggestions, no interaction, no "thank you", just a long wait. Until we meet again.

We didn’t eat there this time, but we’ve eaten there plenty of times in the past and it has always been fabulous. So fun, the food is great drinks are good but usually the music is the entertainment and that’s why I love this place. they have awesome local bands and Their House band is fantastic. Today we had a great experience with the band called last train to Juarez. We really enjoyed our day. I WOULD RECOMMEND

Theres no better place to experience the Steelers outside of 3 rivers stadium. Have a Ben Roethlis-buger medium rare and enjoy all the friendly people and great staff. Be ready to be huggged and high fived by perfect strangers when the Steelers score. Sing along with the polka fight songs. Have a blast.

Me and my friend and his mom were there for the concert for rodney adkins. We came in to eat hours before the show started. We brought some drinks in we intended to have after we ate while we waited in line to get in but once we sat down some lady came and confiscated them. I felt like I was 3 being scolded by my mom. Like we are not allowed to have water. We hadn't even pulled them out when we sat down. They were only intended to be consumed when we left to wait in line. But I guess that wasnt allowed. I must have missed that on the rules and regulations page. The food was ok for bar food. The event wasnt organized no one knew where to go to line up to get in for the show. We had to walk around the building cause we didn't know where we were supposed to line up. They had 2 lines which people had no idea where they were supposed to stand. Again poor planning and poor communication. But once they had people get through the vip line they ended up merging them into the ga line which was stupid and defeated the purpose of having 2 lines. That was just crazy to have people cut into another line in front of other people. Once we got in they has sections off for vip which ok great. But the security allowed people to stand in front of the entrance to that area which was difficult for wait staff to get in and out of there. If your gonna have wait staff bringing food and drinks through there then you need to have an entrance thats not allowed to be blocked off by patrons. It was poorly executed and planned out. I have been to many events and concerts and this was the worst way to execute a show. I definitely wont come back here not to eat or for a concert. Next time you should be informing staff and making signs showing where people are supposed to go for the concert separately from the restaurant/ bar. It helps w the confusion when asking staff where we are supposed to go.

Atmosphere was great. Place was exactly as advertised. Food was decent, BBQ was the best thing on the menu in my opinion. Dancing was fun, and the coach (I wish I could remember his name) was great. This is not a negative in my opinion. The only thing I would say that I was not expecting is how loud it was. Our party was two tables and we could not hear anyone further than two chairs away (we were yelling). Again, not a negative. It was fun. Considering how big and crowded the place was I thought the service was good. Bathrooms were....see previous comment. Thanks!

Well butter my biscuits and call me a cowboy, Harold's Cave Creek Corral is the real deal! From the moment I moseyed on in, I knew I was in for a good ol' time. The ambiance is so authentically Western, I half-expected a tumbleweed to roll past my table (it didn't, but a friendly server did, which was even better!). The food? Let me tell ya, it was tastier than a gold strike! I reckon my tastebuds did a little jig with every bite. And the folks there, both staff and fellow patrons, were friendlier than a Golden Retriever with a new tennis ball. It felt like walking into a saloon where everybody knows your name, even if they've never seen your dusty boots before. The decor is a hoot – I spent a good while just admiring all the bits and bobs that give it that true cowboy charm. And the live music? It had my toes tappin' and my spurs (if I'd been wearing any) jinglin'. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to shout "Yeehaw!" even if you're usually the quiet type. If you're looking for a genuine slice of the Wild West with great grub, toe-tappin' tunes, and a vibe that'll make you feel like you've stepped onto a movie set (but with much better food), then saddle up and head to Harold's. You won't regret it, partner! This place is a true Cave Creek gem. Five stars brighter than a desert night sky!

Nestled in the picturesque town of Cave Creek, The Grotto Cafe is a charming family-owned restaurant that has been serving classic American fare since 2011. The cozy southwestern-style eatery features antique furniture, hand-crafted wood tables and chairs, and bold red-painted walls adorned with vintage decor. Guests can enjoy a variety of American breakfast and lunch options in the colorful counter-serve setting or opt for lush garden seating outdoors.
Sunday lunch was bustling. Perhaps 1 person find seating and the rest line up and place their orders/pay, and take a number. Patio seating is favored on a gorgeous winter sunny day with lots of shade. Inside seating was also packed. There's live entertainment with great cover songs for a sing-along. Nice guitar music, easy to listen to and chat. The young servers are there to bus tables and maybe bring menus to those waiting in the long line. My vegetable sandwich was yummy. The vegetables were chopped up, sautéed, no cheese as requested, and finished with a tasty sauce/butter. The bread was somewhat rustic and had a good texture. The potato chips were from a bag, basic salt, like kettle chips. There was a side of a large pickle. I appreciated the warm vegetable sandwich. It felt fresh made. We were both hungry and chatting, no food photos, only photos of where we sat outside. Its bigger than my photos. Food was served quickly, along with beverages. Servers were attentive, clearing dirty plates, asking if we needed refills or to go containers. All with a smile on a busy day. Parking is ample. It wraps around to the back. Easy to get into and exit. Cave Creek, you have evolved to a thriving place to eat and visit. Bon Apetit!

This is still a nice place to sit outside and enjoy food and drinks. It’s quite popular so sometimes parking and seating can be an issue. This time we stopped by for lunch. We had 2 salads, the Monterey with chicken and the Cobb. Both salads were nicely prepared and reasonably sized. But the chicken on each of them was surprisingly tough considering the pieces were diced. There are many other choices that are excellent, both for lunch and breakfast. The patio is dog friendly. And the service was great.

Delicious! One person's food in our party came out kind of late compared to everyone else's. Probably because the service is a lot like Culver's. You order, get a number, and take your drink and number and find a place to sit. They find you once your food is ready. Nice atmosphere. Was easy to visit even with the music.

Such a fun & cool place! The perfect bowl of oatmeal & cup of coffee with a grotto view! We also tried their muffins the next day. They are huge & look amazing but are dense & almost more scone like with not a lot of flavor. I wouldn't recommend those but everything else was great!

The Roadhouse is a laid-back bar and grill with a motorcycle theme, offering typical pub fare and billiards. It has garnered praise for its enjoyable atmosphere, including the popular band MOJO RATS and its outdoor seating arrangement. However, one negative aspect is the overpriced pizza that lacks flavor and quality. Despite this, it remains a recommended spot to visit because of its great food offerings at reasonable prices.

Updated Review: Come to find out this place is the problem. I had been drinking and was having a mental medical emergency and the alleged security guard Steven Pedersen drug me from the bar to outside so violently I had major bruising and still have numbness in my hands and wrist. He was trying to force me to leave when I was in no shape to drive. The police were called and he lied about me being violent and tried to get me convicted of assault. This happened in April and I’m still fighting his false allegations after he injured me and endangered my life. These people have no business running a bar. The two day bartenders are great. If I wasn’t trespassed and hadn’t had one of the worst nights of my life here I might return just to see them. The place wasn’t the problem. The food is decent… It needs to be cleaned something fierce. The over use of plastic is horrible for the environment. It can get too loud for such confined quarters. I recommend only going in the day to drink. Please recycle.

Come hang out here at the RH, and when we're hungry go somewhere else. Oh... $16 and we left 1/2 of the wings. Sad and disgusting. Also. FYI. We'll pay the price for GOOD food. But obviously not here. Step it up Roadhouse 😵‍💫.

Dairy Queen is a classic fast-food chain known for its soft-serve ice cream, signature shakes, burgers, and fries.

We head here once a month or so for lunch. We typically order their $7 chicken combo with 3 chicken pieces, fries, a drink and a sundae. We’ve always had good luck with this. The staff is friendly and most of the time the food is piping hot. We both think the DQ French fries are by far the best fast food fries. And of course we occasionally stop by for a Blizzard. So what’s not to like?

Very quaint and convenient local restaurant that had a far more amicable spirit than most fast food located in the center of downtown. Up until very recently it used to run immaculately but now some peculiar perturbation has overcome it and now it runs supremely slowly and in the approximately dozen times I have frequented this summer they have forgotten orders. Hopefully they resolve these prevalent issues soon

James gave me a lid because I want to give my puppy a little icecream and she loved it. What I noticed about James that when he was waiting on customers, he took the initiative to stay busy. I watched him go outside to clean windows. They really took pride working there as the place was very well groomed. I WOULD RECOMMEND

Very pleasant dining experience, solid service and atmosphere. We like the feel of the location. Food was mixed-spinach dip, tomato and mozzarella salad excellent appetizers, filet and baby back ribs excellent main plates; Asparagus an excellent side. Really enjoyed the ribs! The NY strip and the Prime Rib were more “OK..” So, mixed on the menu. Overall an enjoyable evening!

We had the most amazing experience here with family and friends. The food and service were so good, we came back for another dinner the same week. The menu selection was incredible with so many choices, and every meal was cooked to perfection. But the real highlight was our server, Alex. He was absolutely the BEST server we ever had at a restaurant! Alex was extremely accommodating and had the most fantastic sense of humor. He had us all laughing constantly. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit to Scottsdale.

Great food! The staff is extremely attentive to your needs and requests. You order a cut of beef, rather than simply deliver it to your table, they ask you to check for proper cooking as requested. Do not miss this establishment, it's that good. Reservations recommended as they are always busy.

Nice little steakhouse. Service was friendly. Was seated at table next to bar which was unfortunate as a guy who was a little too friendly, relaxed and obnoxious had a foul mouth and was very loud. Next time will request a table away from bar. It was a little disappointing he was not addresses by bar staff. Food was good. Nice patio would be good during cooler weather. Nice place for a nice meal. No dress code enforced people at bar in middle of restaurant wearing shorts, tank tops and flip flips.

We all went for Mother's Day brunch. Our waitress came to our table right away, bringing water and whatever else we liked. By the way, their iced tea is very good. The food was delicious. You could order omelets from your table, if wanted. Breakfast buffet choices were scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, green beans, asparagus, and sliced prime rib. Also, a crustacean center of shrimp, lobster, and oysters. Desserts were fantastic. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I will say I got the Mac and cheese and the french onion soup as sides and they definitely lacked luster compared to the rest of the meal. They were just very plain and not what I expected compared to everything else. I loved that the owner visited our table! Made it feel very personal meeting the owner. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Will definitely be back when I'm back in the area.
