Portal Cafe

Love the cook singing at full volume as we ate our burgers! Probably why the burgers were so friggin delicious. I've had a lot of Black & Blue burgers... this one is hands down the best one. Great fries too. Awesome beer selection. Good service. For a very remote little restaurant, I'm very impressed.

It is my birthday today. My wife brought me to an Air bnb here as a surprise for my birthday. Basically, she took us to the middle of nowhere. This restaurant was the closest and only thing right here. There was another one 6ish miles away. They both seem to have the exact same food so we stayed with what was close. We had an early lunch from here and then dinner. The early lunch was a double burger with cheddar and sweet potato fries. It had a good amount of tomato and lettuce. It was awesome! 5 stars. Tasty and the young woman who was there was great. Dinner was not as good. Maybe 3 stars. Grilled chicken sandwich and salad with very little flavor. Almost no lettuce and half a tomato on the sandwich. Cobbler was decent and ice cream was great. Overall not bad for a small town place.

Stop this afternoon and had a perfect meal with our family. The food was amazing. We ordered Fish & chips, grilled cheese and cheese burgers. I was so excited that they offer gluten free options. Best cheese burger I've had in a long time. My wife and I also ordered lattes that were perfect. We can't wait to visit again and really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Lane was awesome! Highly recommend this stop in Portal.

Honestly the best things that came out of the was the guacamole bacon burger. Everything that came from there was pretty bland. Would not come back unless I'm craving a good guacamole bacon burger

Victor was super friendly and was very attentive to us. Will be coming back to this restaurant to try out their other food. Delicious, absolutely delicious. Portal Cafe's has returning customers

Came here to visit from New Mexico on my way home to Chandler Arizona. Went on a hike and came across several deer and elk.The mountains around here are beautiful and you cannot beat how friendly the owners and people are that work here. The food is so amazing that a lot of the locals come here just to eat. Nikki is the best cook!The stars are so bright in this area with very little light pollution.I will definitely come back in the summertime so I can see what this place is actually known for, which is the rare birds!Highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful spot to have lunch with a great view of the mountains. I always make a point to stop here when I am passing through. Great birdwatching and hunting/hiking areas nearby as well. For a small town cafe the prices are fine and the food is well worth it.

Delicious burger, salad, onion rings and grilled chicken ...all well-prepared. We sat outside with the enthusiastic bird-watchers and listened to the evening birds singing as the sun went down. Young Lady waiting on us was very polite and helpful. We highly recommend for dinner in a remote place.

The Portal Peak Lodge was a fabulous place to stay and eat!!..Nothing pretentious but very friendly and attentive...You can tell of a place by how its staff seems to enjoy working there. Victor, our waiter, Maitre D' was absolutely kind, thoughtful, attentive, knowledgeable about the surrounding area, gave us tons of tips and overall was a very pleasant host.The owner of this place, his boss, is very fortunate to have him.We would definitely recommend this place!

Rode up and over the Chiricahuas to try this place out. I had the red chile burrito and my wife finally found a salad without iceberg lettuce. The food was amazing! Cool little hole in the wall place that we will definite come back to.
