Enjoy American Southwestern cuisine featuring salads, sandwiches, pasta, fresh seafood, mesquite-grilled steaks, and house-made desserts. One menu is served all day. Tonto Bar & Grill, gives diners a view of modern desert life with a peek into the past. The restaurant sits on what was once Native American land and later used as a stopover camp for the U.S. Cavalry, and the building itself was part of the prestigious Rancho Mañana dude ranch. It’s chock-full of the charm of earlier eras, displaying ranching implements, vintage 1940s photos and original architecture. Today, friendly service, fine casual cuisine, and comfortable atmosphere combine for a rustic yet upscale dinin

A wonderful place for brunch. Omelet was extremely tasty, and big enough to take half home for dinner. Sticky buns are everyone's favorite. Wait staff kept coffee mugs full without asking. And birthday dessert was a flourless chocolate extra. Ask for a quiet table if anyone is hard of hearing.

Roaring Fork is an American Western Bistro. We utilize a combination of ingredients indigenous to the American West and locally grown, including produce, to capture the 'spirit' of the west. The restaurant offers a comfortable, laid back environment that includes friendly professional service and the highest quality food. A great deal of attention is paid in creating the recipes and always using ingredients that are found in the American West. Western cuisine is not a ceremony; it's a celebration!

We held our 50th anniversary party there. Donna, and Bronco, our servers, never took their eyes off of us. Everyone’s glass was always full. The food was fantastic, and they made for an unforgettable experience for us. The owner, Catherine stopped out to meet guests, and we felt like they were throwing a party for their friends, not just customers.

We always enjoy a delightful lunch on the patio. We sure enjoy being able to bring our chihuahua when we go out for a meal. Conversation was easy and we were far enough from the next table to not be bothered by their voices. My salmon had a fabulous glaze that continued on the quinoa base. Absolutely delightful Wait staff moved about thru the tables on a regular basis , ready to look after our wants. A memorable patio to spend our 28 th Wedding Anniversary! Thank you Herb Box
