TLDR: We stopped here by chance and we’re not disappointed. Beautiful views, good food, and nice drinks! We sat outside and ordered from the window. The staff was very nice and the drinks and food came out quickly. We split the fish tacos, which were delicious and huge with tasty slaw. We each ate one of the two tacos and were full. We also ordered the brown butter cake with caramel and chocolate sauce- it was lovely! The parents with us ordered the foot long hot dogs, which were absolutely huge and we were told that they were very delicious. If anything, one hot dog could easily be split by 2 people. I ordered a Big Wave and he ordered a margarita. Both drinks were very good. If I lived around here, I’d very likely return.

I went for an outing with my grandparents while I was visiting them in Tonto Basin. The food here is EXCELLENT. I ordered the pretzel bites and the grilled cheese with tomato soup. Absolutely amazing food! The food was phenomenal and the service was wonderful. Brenda served us and was outstanding with her customer service. This is definitely a small business and they take care of customers like they're family. I was expecting the food to take awhile just because restaurants take awhile during Covid but the food came out so fast! The beer was ice cold and decent prices for quality and service of food! We got to see the view of the lake while we ate and relaxed. Great way to spend the afternoon with family in a nice restaurant. If you're a local, make a day of it and go enjoy the food and the view. If you're from out of town, this is one of the best spots to eat. If your afternoon outing is between this and Payson, go here. You won't regret it!

Handmade Pizza from 4pm-6pm. Reservations needed for inside sitting (inside there's also an arcade and bar). This place is really cool because it's not too rural or anything, but IS super peaceful and serene (the views are breathtaking, trust me). The food is pretty good (french fries are amazing and crispy, but pizza crust is a little dry). Finally, the customer service is OFF the CHARTS (one employee even offered to take a family picture).

WOWZER... we got very lucky in a very remote area. We came to visit the Native American ruins at Tonto. We were hungry and the rangers recommended Finch’s. We absolutely had the best service and food on this side of the Mississippi River... LoL. We were greeted and welcomed in with the best hospitality ever. Our server Brenda was absolutely “PHREAKING AMAZING.” This is a great place to eat and if you love prickly pear margarita’s you’re in the right place. Again, I can go on and on about this place, but don’t take my words go see for yourself and share your great experience. #PricklyPearMargarita# # Great Food&Services# #CamNewton# #NFLSunday#

On May 30th about 9 of us stopped there for lunch. We had no idea what we were getting into, but it was some of the best food we’d had in our travels. Some had tacos, some salads, some pizza, but there was not a complaint from any one. We sat outside and the weather was very cooperative and a great time was had by all. I would highly recommend this place, and I look forward to going back. We are from Payson/Star Valley. Thank you!

What a great place! While camping at Roosevelt lake we ate here a couple of times. Each time the food was great and our server Brenda was fantastic as well. It was nice to take a break from camping to have a nice meal. It was laid back I didn’t feel weird being fresh off a jet ski. It was also very clean. When we go back to the lake we’ll be back here!

Dang it people... visit this Outstanding restaurant. The prime rib sandwich should be enough to make a statement. But when I caught myself drinking the Au-jus because it and the Prime Rib was finished off in a smoker----- shut your face GOOD! THE GANG loved it. The owners went out of their way to take care everyone. Beautiful, we...I will return. P.s. Cold beer and Tasty Old Fashion!
