Restaurants near Carefree

“An absolutely charming place to stop for tea! Definitely a must stop in Carefree! Everyone must try!”

“My wife and I frequent Carefree Coffee almost weekly. Besides excellent hand crafted beverages the food menu is unique and excellent. The staff are always friendly. Price wise you’re spending the same at a corporate shop (you know the one) so I would rather my money stay local and receive fresh hand crafted coffee and food.”

“Athens on Easy Street was a fantastic dining experience! We had the trio with lamb, gyro, and chicken, along with the rice and tzatziki, and everything was packed with flavor. For dessert, we tried the bougatsa, and it was absolutely delicious—flaky, creamy, and the perfect sweet ending. Our server, Tatum, was so friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Breakfast & lunch always 5-stars for food & for the incredible service. Wait staff always there to check on food & to refill coffee cups. Delicious breakfast & lunch meals in a friendly, beautiful & homey atmosphere—you can enjoy your meal inside or outside & then take a leisurely walk around the the lovely Carefree shops. Our favorite restaurant in Carefree!”

“Absolutely incredible. Chef Brandon is definitely one of the best chefs in AZ”

“The pizza was delicious! The people in the kitchen are hard working, most of them family members. I wasn’t impressed with the hostess, or a couple waitress, although others were great. Being in the Restaurant business for yours it’s just really hard for me to watch somebody just stand around, especially when there’s dirty, filthy areas that could be clean, even just the top of tables and condiments.
We did enjoy the pizza, we might order to take out. I was a bit disgusted by the attire that a couple people wore. I think you need to be more presentable when you’re working with the public. Not just my opinion.
I JUST——-”

“Off the menu alert- grilled cheese burger! I was like gosh the grilled cheese sounds good but so does the burger.. lol.. I was like can he make me a grilled cheese burger? And they did! It's soooooo good 10/10. The bread was soft, the cheese was melted perfectly and the burger was juicy and good. Put this on your list to get!!”

“Always comfortable and helpful when I visit.
I asked for something special on a Friday night and he was so cool about it.

“Our server Trinity was awesome, she answered our questions honestly and helped recommend dishes and pairings very well. We never had to ask for water or anything because it was always taken care of. The food came out quick and was amazing, the tenderloin melted in my mouth and the flavor of the sauce was awesome. We did enjoy the flat bread as an appetizer as well, it was simple but solid. I would absolutely go here again, you can tell they take pride in their work.”

“We where a party of 8 celebrating my birthday. All of dinners where different and each one was very good and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and just at the right pace. Thank you Giordano’s we enjoyed”

“Lovely cafe! The fireplace adds to the beautiful ambience!”

“I travel to Italy several times a year. This place is the closest thing to authentic Italian food you will find in Arizona. Everything is made in house from the motzzarella to the pasta, all made on premises. Unheard of in today’s restaurant world. The pizza is the best I have had in Arizona hands down. All the kitchen staff are Italian and the prices are very reasonable. Anyone that gives this place less than 5 stars should be ignored.”

“Love this place! Always amazing steaks and salads and such a great atmosphere.”

“Sitting on the South golf course at the Boulders Resort in Carefree is Palo Verde. It's a simply elegant yet casual restaurant serving up Southwestern inspired dishes for breakfast and dinner. Sit inside the rotunda style main room or put on the patio overlooking the course and pond.

While my daughter sticks with pancakes, my son and I can't pass up a good order of biscuits and gravy. Unfortunately, we didn't try much of the menu as dad joined in as well with the same order this time. We all enjoyed the cheddar jalapeno biscuits topped with chorizo gravy. Jack went with his go-to spicy Bloody Mary, and I sipped on a bourbon and peach schnapps iced tea.

It was a nice family breakfast in the desert, followed by visiting the pond below. The kids loved getting the turtles and koi to inch closer and closer. So take a beautiful Carefree drive through the Boulders Resort for a lovely meal.”

“1st time in today. My friend & I both agree we'll be going back again soon. Very clean with appealing decor. Warmly greeted immediately. Got suggestions of what to try from the owner & her daughter-in-law, believe me, they were not wrong. We had goulash & cabbage rolls, both came with homemade mashed potatoes & freshly made pita bread. EXCELLENT, like walking into my mom's kitchen because you could tell the recipes had been lovingly perfected. So tender. So flavorful. A pure delight that that I can't wait to experience again. We also had 2 desserts that were wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't remember what they were called. One was like a napoleon, the other a nut-filled crescent. They came out to check on us to make sure everything was satisfactory & treated us very kindly. You will not leave here disappointed, of that I am sure.”

“The ambience is romantic, fun and inviting. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable on menu items. The live music provided was lovely, and the food is delectable! Would recommend to anyone looking for an exciting experience with enjoyable food for special occasions. ❤️ We went for our anniversary and were not disappointed.”

“The food and service was outstanding and I loved the atmosphere , I would give a ten star.”

“Best Steelers bar in the world!”

“They won me over with their Pad Thai. This is the signature dish I always order first at every Thai restaurant. This one crushed them all.

I walked in late on their last hour on a weekday night this week, and for the summer slow season, I was impressed. Most small business restaurants shorten their hours. (They are open until 9 pm

It felt like I was dining in their home by the decor, atmosphere, and especially the service. Pete, the chef/owners husband, takes pride in their family business and is exceptionally warm and hospitable with every guest!

My Pad Thai with beef was served with a generous helping of protein compared to all my past Thai restaurant experiences. Moreover, it was mouthwatering, the beef was SO tender, and the dish itself was not dry like some pad thai's.

I was so relaxed there I forgot to take photos beyond my food. But I will catch up when I return several times to devour the entire menu, one dish at a time!”

“We ordered 50 bowls for our high school volleyball team and it was a huge hit! Not only was the food delicious, the staff was amazing to work with in customizing our large catering order. They were great at communicating, had everything packed up and ready at the time it was supposed to be, and the food stayed frozen and perfect. The team was so excited about the afternoon treat and can't wait for our next Nautical Bowl day! Thank you again for making this a special day for our girls!”

“Met an ex neighbor here for lunch, had not been here in a long time.
Ordered their new Black and Blue burger and it was REALLY good. The horseradish Aioli has a kick that compliments the blue cheese and buttermilk marinated fried onions!
My ex neighbor had the Strawberry salad and mentioned multiple times how good it was.
And I had a New Belgium 1554 that if you like dark smooth chocolatey beers, is a MUST Try!!!
Will be back sooner this time!!!”

“I’m staying briefly in Arizona and Brunch was recount friends. The food was cooked fresh, flavoursome, and served swiftly. Plus the staff were super friendly without being overbearing. I’d recommend Brunch in Cave Creek to anyone looking for a great bite to eat in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. 5*”
