Restaurants near Carefree

“The food here is excellent! The Gyro fries (with the french fries supplied by Frites Street) were the highlight today! If you're lucky you'll get Josh as your server and the patio is great this time of year!”

“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.”

“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!”

“We stayed at this resort for two days. The main dining restaurant wasn’t my favorite — the food was a bit on the bland side. However, the smaller café on the property was much better, and the food by the pool near the spa was actually my favorite! I had the veggie sandwich with sweet potato fries, and it was the best meal I had during my stay. The café also offers some great vegan bakery items, and their chai tea is delicious.”

“Best Burger I've ever had. Been back 3 times in one week after discovering this little gem of a place. Trivia was a blast, got a discounted tab for 3rd place. Good selection of whiskey. And did I say the best burger ever. If your near, stop on in, she won't disappoint”

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

“Always comfortable and helpful when I visit.
I asked for something special on a Friday night and he was so cool about it.
My kinda guy and business owner!”

“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——-”

“We stopped for lunch and the food was amazing! The craft cocktails were ok (not really my thing). Our bartender Carissa was Rad. And there was another guy that came out and checked on us. All around a great place.”

“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!”

“5 of us and all meals were delish but one. One person ordered shrimp and calamari which had to be returned as it was way over cooked and dry. Refund was handled w ease Pizza, shrimp fra Diablo, chicken piccata, truffle pasta were all delicious”

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

“Ismir was amazing! He gave us the right amount of attention without becoming intrusive. He accommodated all of our requests and gave full descriptions of the dishes we had questions about. The food was of excellent quality and was well prepared.”

“Amazing Food and service 🩷”

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

“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!”

“Took my wife to dinner here Monday, September 29, 2025; she highly recommended this restaurant. and had been to lunch with girl friend in august. There is plenty of on site parking. Great selection of burgers here. My wife and I had the big Blu Burger, coleslaw and onion rings side. Delicious and huge burger. Our server was Cynthia S. who was professional, courteous, and personable. She was helpful with suggestions for dinner. We asked to move to a booth and were easily accommodated . She often checked back with us if we wanted anything else. Highly recommend this particular place. Had a great chat with Brandon, owner about previous review and response. He pointed out his response to review. He is very concerned and wants everyone to dining to enjoy and have a great dining experience.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Auténtica comida Regional Concepto Único , Excelente Servico !!”

“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!”

“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*”

“The August monthly Choripan special was excellent! A sandwich with grilled Schreiner‘s chorizo and a House-made chimichuri sauce on a toasted hoagie roll from Noble Bakery. Sorry I didn’t get this recommendation out the earlier, but maybe this nudges Mike to add to the menu… I can only hope.”

“Everything was top notch from the chili corn bread, beans, smoked wings and brisket! Definitely will be back.”

“Buttermilk pancakes are very good”

“Excellent food and service!!”
