    We went here for lunch today. It's 150 miles round trip. Worth every mile. They served the best Patty Melt I've ever tasted. The Pecan Pie was also delicious.

    If you get the chance to stop and just take a moment to appreciate this roadside eatery, with homemade pies baked freshly, you're in for a treat. Hidden inside this qiuant building with it's big and colorful signs to welcome travellers driving across the desert, is a respectable and friendly place. We were delighted to find inside this place,filled with wonderful Native American jewelry, art, etc as you enter through the doorway . The restaurant greets you with a pie display case in the rear where you can grab a slice or a whole pie. We were lucky to have a fresh apple pie that was just out of the oven upon arrival and Miss Angelika and Miss Annie were happy to answer any questions about the pies,as they boxed ours and since we had time to just sit and relax for a minute, it allowed our pie to cool. They suggested that we kept the lid open for the heat to escape and not sweat the crust. We ordered a cold beer and onion rings and looked around the shop, Miss Rose behind the jewelry counter was kind enough to explain some of the items in the case and shared the history of the artists. Our surprise of the backyard and it's serene and calm patio was a joy to discover too. A huge shady tree offers a great spot to sit outside and there is a pond with fishes and a peacock that gracefully wonders around. Just remember to not approach it,as it will hide and you wouldn't be able to see it roaming. Our Onion rings were just the right thing to snack on while our fresh apple pie cooled off. We certainly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back soon in the future. They are open 9-2 pm Mon-Thu And 9-5pm Fri-Sun. So check them out if you have time to stop and smell the pies.

    Great diner experience… went for a BLT followed by apple pie. Clearly a long standing restaurant for surrounding community and those on the road between Las Vegas and Phoenix. Beautiful art jewellery and handicrafts on display and for purchase.

    In a land of wide open space on the way to Phoenix from Nevada sits a roadside attraction populated by peacocks and koi and laced with old saddles and other western equipment. It’s a gift shop, more like an art gallery, and a cafe featuring a range of foods and most importantly pies. Abundant jewelry too. Don’t leave before taking a short stroll in the backyard.

    Stopped for lunch on the way from Phoenix to Las Vegas. Thought the Green Chili Burrito w Beans and Rice was tasty. Nice salsa to top with. Would have loved for a refill of my soda, but when it was not offered proactively, I opted to move along. The Black Walnut Cream Pie is excellent. A caloric splurge worth getting. Interesting back yard to explore.

    Wonderful place! Great lunch options. The black walnut pie is exquisite. My husband, who is generally picky, loved the pecan pie. Honey seems of good quality. Multiple varieties are available and price is reasonable. The shop has a lot to offer. Staff is relaxed, yet efficient. They contribute to creating a warm and homey atmosphere where everyone can feel welcome. Worth a detour or special trip.

    Unexpected pleasure on the "beautiful" alternate auto route from Sun City West, Arizona to the Central Coast of California! Thankful for such a nice place to eat and rest. Good food with warm, personable and attentive service. Excellent pie choices! We chose a slice of black walnut cream pie which was scrumptious! On the outer walls of the restaurant they sell a wide array of turquoise jewelry. They also sell artwork such as masks, headdresses and other colorful items.

    To start with this restaurant is absolutely divine. The food was one of the best I’ve ever had. The service was impeccable, making the whole experience unforgettable. The ambiance of this place was stunning, and the peacocks made the whole place better. The jewelry they are selling at this restaurant is astonishing. This restaurant is an amazing recommendation for everyone.
