Tucked away in a side area east of Mesa, on a road I've only known as the way to get to the Renaissance Faire is this local restaurant. We arrived about 9:30AM on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Restaurant was clean, decorated with local photographs and misc art. Our table had military logo decor and (I think) local advertisement and it wobbled a bit. Service was above average. Restaurant was not busy when we got there but it picked up and slowed down again. Our waiter was attentive but not intrusive. Water and coffee remained full and our order was exactly as requested. Food was hot and arrived quickly. The chicken fried chicken was delicious. Bigger than expected so I had to take half of it home. Originally we came for the biscuits because one of my girlfriends said they were huge and fluffy. The biscuits were tasty, but only half the size she had made them out to be.Overall, great tasting food, above average service, comfortable place to grab breakfast. I'd be willing to try it again. 4+ stars

What a great spot. Clean and a great menu for breakfast. The chicken Fred steak is literally falling off the plate! The biscuits are homemade and delicious. The food is all great and fresh and served with a smile. A go to spot for locals. Highly recommend!

DW opted for the green olive burger with onion rings, I had the corned beef Reuben with tots. The massive pile of onion rings was impressive, as was the perfect crispy finish on the tots. My Reuben had creamy sauerkraut rather than the tangy kraut my mouth was expecting. DW's burger was messy as the dickens to eat, but very filling. We particularly appreciated being able to sit at outdoor tables so we didn't have to leave our new puppy in the car. We would certainly eat here again.

Place is awesome. I've been there about 10 times. Every time is great service and great food. The portions are so big that me and my girlfriend actually split them.

Some of the best food and service in the town of Gold Canyon, AZ ....................

Ever since Red Sage Restaurant went out of business near the economy crash in 2008, I've been at a loss for amazing biscuits and gravy. Many places have great gravy, but don't make their biscuits or great homemade biscuits with okay gravy. I stopped by this location a few times, and chatted with a waitress I recognized that used to work at Red Sage. She said that the biscuits and gravy was the same recipe, and I cautiously ordered hoping it truly was as I've spent years on the quest for good biscuits and gravy!I am happy to report... this is the same recipe and my all time favorite biscuits and gravy! If you aren't in the Gold Canyon area, make the drive out to try these biscuits and gravy & enjoy the beautiful views of the Superstition Mountains. Writing this review has now motivated me to make a trip myself to have! Yum!

OMG this place is awesome. We're great down home cooking foods. The portions are large so make sure you share. The service is impeccable very attentive and the ambience is super casual.

I don't understand how this place has an overall rating of 4 stars. The staff is underwhelming in friendliness. The food is greasy, and over-priced. We have been here twice now, and definitely our last time. As soon as we came in this time, my 9 year old started reminding me how much we all hated our food the last time we were there. Oh, and "I" was going to split my meal with my daughter, and just asked for an extra plate... like I do at almost every restaurant her and I go to, and have with older kids, when they couldn't finish an entire meal either -- she says, "$2 up charge for splitting". I was caught off guard and didn't know what to say. I didn't want to start composing, but I was annoyed. The food already isn't worth the price I was about to pay. I'll stop... we won't be back. Oh, and a 3.5% fee if you don't pay with cash. They nickel and dime for everything! I happened to have cash on me, so this didn't effect me... but thought I would mention here also.

This place is amazing, the staff is amazing, absolutely love it and would keep going back :) they are so sweet to my kiddos as well
