It is hard to find a place for Breakfast after 10-11 a.m. so if was wonderful to find Black Mountain Coffee Shop! Much more than coffee, it offers delicious and varied Breakfast options as well as lunch and desserts and pastries! Great little spot we ate there twice while in the Carefree area.

Four of us went to the Tonto Bar and Grille for a special Saturday night couples dinner. We took advantage of something called Arizona Restaurant week, Sept.20-29, 2019. We arrived to our early dinner reservation and it was peaceful and quiet. We ate outside, under cover, looking at the beautiful golf course. This is really an extremely nice restaurant & beautiful setting? One couple split a 3 course meal and my wife & I each asked for our own meals. We asked our server when we 1st sat down if each couple could have their own separate bill, and she said âno problem.â I had the pre fixed 3 course $44 restaurant week meal, part of the restaurant week special pricing. For the appetizer, I had a single crab cake served with a special spicy warm delicious sauce on the side. It was great! My main meal was a 6 oz Tenderloin steak, grilled perfectly , a little side of mushrooms, asparagus cooked perfectly and a side of special potatoes. My meal was perfect. The other couple split the exact same thing I had. My wife went with the $44 special pre fixed meal. She had their Tonto house salad, Salmon for her main meal, served on a flat cooked green pepper, and a delicious side of some kind of flavored grain. She loved her dinner too. We all did. My dessert was a wonderful Creme Brûlée that was out of this world. Beautiful to look at as well as delicious to eat. My wife had the Lemon Meringue dessert and she loved it. The alcohol prices were fair. By the time we were done eating, the place got really loud. Our waitress brought over our separate bills and wouldnât you know, all of the other couples drinks were on our bill, which made for the only unpleasantry of the whole dinning experience. Our waitress did eventually untangle the bills and each couple paid accordingly. Parking is free, but a bit of a walk, especially if you are elderly. The parking area is also dark at night, all part of the Dark Sky policy of Cave Creek. We will definitely go back again.

We always go to Carefree to see the Desert Cactus Garden in bloom & also the Pumpkin Festival in the fall. I don't know why we haven't tried here before but we did today and loved it. We sat outside with our little dog in his stroller. We were greeted promptly by Amanda. I chose 2 different sliders - prime rib and barbecue. They were both yummy. Hubby had a grilled turkey and cheese melt. He was also very happy with his choice. He got sweet potato fries which were very good. We were very impressed with the excellent service and very good food. We will definitely be back.Thank you so much for sharing your comments on Trip Advisor. We love Carefree and all our great repeat customers and value your feedack. Hope to see you again soon.

This place is really quite something. The atmosphere here is quite electric with loud music and fairly decent food with everyone being happy and having a good time. The rodeo was great fun to watch also, if you wanted to you could watch that without paying anything, they mould easily charge an entry fee but donât. I would definitely recommend this to get the full American experience.

1. FoodWorst meal ever. What can go wrong with a quiche? Pastry not cooked. Inedible. Husbands meal no better. 2. ViewOverlooks a car park! If you are very lucky you get the view of the mountain but get the noise of the road.3. Service My plate was taken before my husband had finished eating. Tables cleaned around us making us feel it was time to go. No happy faces. Took my uncooked quiche away with no questions.Had to try to catch them for drinks. Not what I have come to expect from American service.No ambience at all.Two courses took 40 minutes. By 8.30 only two couples left. Found out Chef Binksy no longer has any part in it, only his name. Perhaps he needs to remove this!Old reviews no longer apply!

I went to this very authentic place with some relatives from Phoenix. The food is good (I have eaten a Filet Mignon), the service very efficient. The staff is very very friendly. And the music extremely good (little bit too loud).You will find a wide variety of people and a very good atmosphere.I will come back for sure.

This is a first class service, fantastic food, and chef/owners that care. We did the tasting menu and it was more than could have been expected. The flavors and menu were amazing. The chef personally delivered each dish and explained how it tied back to the local ingredients and wineries. We will be back and you should not pass this up. We highly recommend it!!! Hello and thank you for dining with us as well as taking the time to write a wonderful review! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the Chef's Tasting Menu. If you are looking for a unique Arizona dining experience the Tasting Menu is definitely the way to go as the chef and his team are out foraging for wild, native foods to enhance each plate on the menu daily. Pairing those dishes with wines that come from the same areas seems like the best way to experience all that Cartwright's has to offer. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again soon.-Cody Heller, Owner
