This is such a fun place, let me tell you about it! We were looking for Denny's but Yelp brought us here and we're SO glad!
First things first, the seats. Seats are sturdy and roomy enough to handle bodies like mine that need sturdy and roomy seats. There are booths but I didn't try those. Warning: depending on the size of your party and the number of patrons, you may have to share booths.
Let's get to the food: I ordered a Patty Melt because I've not had one in years. It comes with a side so I tried the potato salad. Y'all, this potato salad was soooooo goooodddd

Long wait to sit. Long wait to eat. We came early, when we left, there was 20 people outside waiting to get seated. They will be there for at least 1 more hour to get seated. They are either too tight or just stubborn to hire 2 or 3 more people to help clear tables, deliver orders, do dishes. What a dead-end restaurant that is, so frustrating to watch, let alone be waiting to get seated!!

Was ignored when I walked in and waited by the sign that said "wait to be seated" Was ignored when I walked in even further to register. When I asked for help in just getting a table, the employee acted like I had walked in on her in the bathroom or something. Then instead of taking me to a table she acted like it was a real problem for her to go and make sure the tables were clean......the tables were clean! I could see that from the door! Only 5-6 tables were occupied. It wasn't even half full. Finally, Sat down and was ignored while the people behind me were seated and given menus. Had to get

This was our first lunch out on our current road trip and this place was a lucky find. Super friendly service, solidly good, simple food, and a fun gift shop (affordable souvenirs for cash only.) Ask the staff about the connection between Quartzsite and camels (you'll see motifs and street art around town. Fun, fun!)

My second diner in Quartzsite. So far, so good. Everything was fine. Clean restrooms, decent coffee, good food and selections (especially the sides), good service and smiles. Again, and it seems to be a thing, the home fries were slightly under done. These were the best around, but I wonder if folks here just don't use precooked potatoes. I'll be back.

If you want to stop over in Quartzsite for a bite to eat, this the best place in town. My wife and I split a turkey club sandwich that was large and delicious. Our waitress and the rest of the staff were friendly and accommodating. While we waited for our food to be prepared my wife shopped in the annex hallway in this cozy , clean cafe. We left feeling very satisfied with our find.

We stopped on our trip back to AZ from Cali. It is a great little place with great service. Lauren, our server, was smiley, on point, refilled coffee regularly and is an asset to this place. The food was excellent. I had the AZ omelette and my husband had the steak and eggs. He said it was so tender unlike other breakfast steaks. Very yummy.

I like stopping in Quartzite AZ on last leg into CA. You still a cool little desert town of about 4000 people. Mostly well jet trailer park areas. Simple but nice neighborhoods like the Mountain Quail Restaurant where I stopped for the firs time. It's a little ways off the I 40 into the desert town but it's nice and a quaint roadside diner. We'll work the stop. The friendliest staff. I am sure in tourist season it can get crazy busy in here. A great menu of home style meals. Really really clean and nice restrooms which can be hard to come by in deep desert towns. Breakfast was really

A must stop for us when traveling through Quartzite. Clean. Friendly. Well priced. It's not even that far off the main drag and is FAR better than any of the fast food. There is always a special for each mealtime and even though you can't substitute anything on it, who cares? It's always good. (Had the roast beef sandwich today!)
Oh and they have tater tots on the menu!!!!

This is one of my top 3 favorite places to eat in Quartzsite! The food here is all so good! Favorites of mine include their beer batter onion rings, and when available, the turkey melt is so yummy you'll want to eat it all the time!
The staff are all friendly, helpful, and work really hard to remember everyone and their favorites! The service is excellent, friendly, welcoming, and professional! The only thing "better" than the service is the food!!!

This place was amazing! I placed my order by phone and our server was Helen. She was super quick, we got there and less than 3 minutes we were eating. Very nice since we came all the way from Portland. Thank you Helen for your hard work we will definitely be back. The food was sooooo good I don't even have words for it. Thank you !

This place was absolutely amazing! The food, the staff, the locals. I had by far the best tuna melt of my life here! I devoted half before even picturing the plate. I've found my new favorite halfway point for every trip to and from Cali!!! Everyone has to come to this gem of a restaurant at least once! I guarantee you'll be back

A nice little spot for breakfast here in Quartzite. I had bacon and eggs with home fries and wheat toast. Breakfast was basic and good until you get to the home fries. The home fries have large chunks of onions and peppers and were very well seasoned. The best part of my meal. My wife had the chicken fried steak and it was too much for her. She said the gravy was excellent and she would have it again. The waitress was attentive even though they were very busy (church just let out). This place also has a cute little gift shop inside. Overall a good meal for the money. I will definitely return

A very quant cafe. Lots of interesting things to see on the walls. Our server was very attentive. I had the open face turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy plus cranberries. The potatoes were a little lumpy but good none the less. My wife enjoyed her turkey sandwich and a side salad. The gift shop has interesting things from local artists. We purchased a terra-cotta tile with 2 quails painted on it and the words "Our Nest" since we have several quail that visit our home in Phoenix every morning. See photos

From home in Southern California to Prescott, we studied the map and decided we should stop in Quartzsite for lunch and we bookmarked this Cafe instead of other fast food restaurants.
It was a good place to stop: Tables set up to 10 feet apart, the food was good, restroom was ultra clean and touch less payment with scan straight to Apple pay was a plus. With all the restaurants we have been during the trip, even the fancy ones, this is the only one that had the touch less payment. All restaurants should use the same system.
We didn't give 5 stars because the lack of ambiance and the food

Just discovered this terrific cafe in Quartzsite where we usually only stop for gas. Not too far off the main road is a lovely cafe with a sweet gal (I didn't catch her name) who welcomed and served us. The place was clean and spacious. (Restrooms too) Shared ham steak and eggs and it was huge and delicious. There's local artists work available for sale and cute quails everywhere. Menu had a nice selection in general. Fun little town to drive through and I love that this place is patriotic! We will definitely come here for our travel meals, especially during the summer. We usually eat

Look, if you are on your way to Cali or on your way back from Cali and are tired of fast food, this is going to be a good stop for you. The food is not exceptional, but it is good enough. It has plenty of comfort food items on the menu for everyone.
I had the biscuits and gravy and hot roast beef sandwich. Very little sausage in the gravy, biscuit was OK. The gravy for the sandwich was made from a packet and it was OK. My wife had a salad and it was OK, nothing memorable.
Service was friendly, food came out in timely manner. Older restaurant but clean. They do manage to be in the 21st century
