Paul Ingram: Make sure to try the Chimichurri squid, it's really tasty and original.
uchyam: Really good, great for brunch. On the weekends specially sunday it takes a while to get a table, so be whiling to wait. I had a veggie omelette and it was delicious.
Jo Ann Sabbagh: Outside patio is nice even in cooler weather - they have portable heaters.
FrecklesUSA: Braveheart for breakfast with a side of chimichurri.
Cia: Catch a drink in the Tap Room, a historic bar that features lovely Western sketches and picturesque bar staff. Hit the ecletic and fabulous jukebox. Continously open since 1919. Read more.
Esquire: Congratulations, you have found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Oddballs from all over the Southwest flock here, where little has changed since John Dillinger used it as his hideout.
Susan King: Margarita Monday are fabulous but they have great happy specials every day 4-6 PM! Nachos are pretty filling. Love the sangria too!
Bob St Claire: Really wanted to totally slam this joint, given the horrible service, and wait staff that have the appearance of being a step away from a meth addiction program. What saves it is OK food.
Cindy Valdez: Upscale Mexican food at a really decent price (note: not cheap, but affordable). Half off wine bottles on Wednesday!
Kelly Thames: Try the Smoked Cobb Salad but ask for the jalapeño ranch dressing instead of the poppy seed dressing it comes with. YUM!!
Thom Butler: microbrew list is fantastic! The chips and sauces sampler is a perfect start!
Steve Lunetta: Everything our group had was great. John Wayne Burger, Cheese Curds, Sonoran Dogs. Watermelon Margarita and Moscow Mule!!
Matthew Boepple: I love the location at the train depot. You can eat and watch the trains. I love their pizza and Mac & Cheese. A little on the expensive side, so I don't go often. Worth a visit.
Brian Peterson: Sit on the patio and watch the trains go by while you enjoy your dinner, or enjoy the railroad decor inside. Read more.
Allissa Haines: Red velvet pancakes are amazing, the service is fantastic and the Sunday morning music, enchanting. Fun & not too loud. :)

K Vela: Wonderful food and beautiful ambiance! Ordered the chile en nogada it was very good but FYI it is served room temp!
Jennifer Kim: Those corn tortillas are heavenly---thick, handmade! Go for a dish that uses them, like the tacos.
Diana R.: Loved the salads to share, the tequila tasters, the chile relleno and more!

Alisha Jenkins: Mahi Mahi burrito is amazing! 4 berry pie was on the Food Network. Caraf of Sangria was perfect to share on a date and so refreshing on a hot day.
Melinda Caroline: Weirdly addictive: the "salad bowl" with buttermilk horseradish dressing. Also, some of the best pesto in town.
Leslie Wilt: Go for dessert (anything chocolate is amazing) and wine. The actual food is very good, but expensive.

Denise Crowe: Must try the "Glory". Insanely good fried goodness. The blue port cheesecake ice cream was delicious. We came back for the Elvis ice cream but this was really good.
Dan Stein: The sides, fries, and ice cream are much better than the actual entrees. Stick to fries and ice cream.
Graeme Hunt: Honey Ginger ice cream is now my favorite!
