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.

    A hidden gem in Cave Creek. Wonderful food and service with a complimentary dessert because it was our anniversary. Haley the server was fabulous and food (especially the salads!!) were top notch. Will absolutely return and bring others!

    We ordered the evening surf and turf special but the kitchen forgot to prepare and serve half the entree. The scallops came out when we were almost finished with our meal.

    Tonto Bar & Grill is our first choice among Cave Creek / Carefree restaurants. The food is always delicious; service is always first-rate; and when seated outside in the uncovered area overlooking the golf course, the ambience is locally unmatched. We have dined with out-of-town guests twice in the last few weeks, and both times (as well as all others) the experience has been most enjoyable! Thank you, Tonto Bar & Grill. Looking forward to next time!

    First time at Tonto Grill. We had a party of 10 for a birthday. The atmosphere and food were excellent. Everyone in the group tried different items on the menu and throughly enjoyed their food. The 1 appetizer that I would not order again was the guacamole, salsa, and chips. The portion size for the guacamole was about 2 oz. That was not enough to make it worthwhile as an appetizer. The humus was unique and the calamari was quite good for an appetizer.

    Wish they took reservations on phone, Open Table ended up giving me two reservations and one cancellation, never did know exact reservation. Also, it is hard to get an outside reservation, even when I requested on Open Table, they were going to seat me on the covered patio, when I specifically said outdoor seating. But I did manage to get a real outside table.

    Mary, our awesome waitress, recommended the Copper Burger and the chef did not disappoint! I should’ve taken a photo but it looked too good to wait! Best burger ever! Then we tried the passion fruit cheesecake and pannacotta and both were delicious! Then we rolled ourselves home! OMGoodness so good. We like going at 5pm so we eat early and no waiting! Beautiful time of day too.
