The Watering Hole - Wickenburg

My husband and I have been here before, but this time was special. The food is always excellent. This time, there was live music and we LOVED every minute of our meal and entertainment! So lucky to have been there at the right time!

At 6:19, the food for the other members of our group arrived, but it took another 11 or 12 minutes to receive silverware. By the time the silverware arrived, the food was cold. My sandwich and fries had not yet arrived, even though others who had ordered burgers had already been served. The waitress informed us that they were still working on my burger. At 6:36, we tried to get the attention of our server, but she rudely ignored us, causing embarrassment to our friends. Finally, at 6:49, I decided to leave to get tickets for a 7:00 movie across the street. The waitress offered me a salad from the salad bar, but I declined as we had come for dinner. Despite being seated for 1 hour and 41 minutes, I never received my food. The bill included charges for the burger, fries, and margarita mix without tequila. I left the restaurant without eating and no apologies were offered. The sticky, dirty table added to the unpleasant experience. I remained polite and patient throughout the ordeal, but I will not be returning to this restaurant again.

My husband ordered the steak and said it was the best he's ever had, which is high praise coming from him. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, but I have to commend the Fried Apple pie dessert. I usually find restaurant apple pies underwhelming, but this one exceeded my expectations. Despite being full from dinner, I couldn't resist taking a few bites for just $7. But before I knew it, we had devoured the entire dessert. It was a delectable apple-filled pastry topped with two or three scoops of ice cream and plenty of whipped cream. I highly recommend treating yourself to this indulgent dessert.

We had to wait for an hour for our burgers and fries. While my partner enjoyed his burger, mine was undercooked. Even my partner, who prefers his meat rare, said he wouldn't eat it. The staff did not charge me for my meal, which I appreciate, but I would not return to this restaurant.

This is a fun place to catch a small concert put on by our friends.
