Restaurants in Cottonwood

“The food is great but the true gem has to be the owners and crew! They show loving care for their customers and community. You always get a friendly greeting, incredible service and delicious food. If you order a salad, definitely try the house dressing. You could make a shoe taste great with that magical elixir!”

“Locals here, and Bocce Pizzeria is a place we frequent often because the food is always solid. This visit, though, really stood out and motivated us to leave a review. Our server, Edyta, was absolutely fantastic. Her customer service, attention, and warm demeanor made this the best experience we’ve had here so far. She truly elevated the entire visit. We hope to be served by her again, definitely keep her around. She’s a gem!”

“A Really good time. great people and great food. The show is funny, interactive and good time. Would recommend this venue to anyone.”

“Dropped in with 25 boys and men with our Boy Scout Troop from Mississippi. The staff was excellent. The food was phenomenal! Yall even had a license plate on the wall from our county back home! Six years later, and our visit to Bing's still holds a special place in my memories of our trip! Loved our visit!!!”

“Delicious! And wonderful service”

“Genuinely fantastic dining experience. Every part of the meal came at the perfect time, the environment was welcoming and comfortable, 10/10 service with lots of care and attention to detail put in, and the food itself was phenomenal. The snow crab is amazing and rewarding to eat, the clam chowder was the best I’ve ever had, and I can’t think of any complaints.”

“We stayed in Cottonwood last month while visiting from Seattle. We stopped in on when we want something other than hotel coffee. So glad we did! The Neighborhood Coffee Shop became our morning stop. It’s such a cute shop, with great coffee and even greater service. Everyone was so kind and made us feel like family. We will definitely go back, if we ever find ourselves in Cottonwood again.”

“awesome vegan burritos. will be coming back soon.”

“What a great find! Not sure how they do it, but they make the most delicious, pillowy donuts I have ever had. The variety of donuts including gluten-less was impressive. The coffee was delicious, too. Service was friendly and there were nice spots to sit and enjoy the food. I took mine to go. Came back the next day because it was so good.”

“Delicious personal fretada, great service by Bean ❤️”

“Some of the best buffalo wings in town I was impressed”

“Stumbled on this little place. When travelling we never go to a chain restaurant. it is easy to find local places in cottonwood. Georgie's was found while cycling around town. Our server was great. Foid was sensational. We all had breakfast items. We sat outside, and were all the only ones outside. our coffee was always full, and our server was attentive. Great place for a local flair”

“The best Mexican food in the Verde Valley, with fabulous margaritas 🍹”

“The food at the Wholesome Cafe was delicious as well as the fresh juice. I had the black bean bowl and my partner had the Greek vegan wrap. Both were fresh and tasty and equally good. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-18”

“We love Annie’s delicious food, great service, and friendships! Annie and her family are wonderful members of our community!!! They have huge hearts. 💕”

“The food, atmosphere, and drinks made for this place being an 11/12
Tried a watermelon mint margarita and enjoyed it.

Also must try to portobello mushrooms in BBQ sauce. They were just like BBQ ribs! Shockingly delicious”

“Fast, friendly, helpful staff along with the $12 Tuesday large Papa's favorite with cheese bread and dipping sauces is a great meal/value. We love this place!!”

“Absolutely love Main Stage Sports Bar! Been coming here for years and since the new owners aquired... WOW, great drinks, friendly staff! Such a good upgrade for Cottonwood! Games, great food, the burgers, taco night and fun music and line dancing, atmosphere always something to enjoy! The Burlesque show is this last weekend was amazing you can see the talent and work that went into this event - sofun, absolutely recommend and support our hometown bar ❤️”

“Had a great experience at the Cottonwood Denny's. We had a bad cut of meat in 2nof our steaks (tough), however Nathan our waiter took them back and brought us new steaks that were perfect. Nathan is a great waiter and always has a smile and very profession and courteous. Thanks again Nathan!”

“Excellent meal and service! After never finding good Chinese we tried Thai. Thai beats the crap out of Chinese! Very similar but oh so much more flavorful and fresh! We loved our meals and will definitely be back.”

“This was my 1st time eating here & my food wasn't 100% up to par, the owner informed me they were training someone new & was very accommodating when fixing my order!!”

“If you include Sedona and Camp Verde there are a number of really nice Italian Restaurants in the area. In my opinion this is the best Italian food in Cottonwood and is very competitive with some of the more expensive offering in Sedona. It has something of a family atmosphere. The food and service are excellent as are their prices. We go often.”

“This is a no frills authentic panaderia. It's absolutely worth getting there bright and early to snag treats. Next time you are going to bring donuts into your office, try this place instead.
Cash only so come prepared!”

“Our server went above and beyond our needs and requests. I didn't get her name - young woman, glasses and dark hair in a bun and had more patience than I would have had! The food was delicious.”

“Amazing food and staff. ❤️”

“My last two visits to The Human Bean have been pretty terrible experiences and I’ve reached out twice trying to speak with someone about it and haven’t heard back, other than from someone that said my message forwarded to the right people. The last visit was so bad I had to throw my drink away. Other than those two visits and the lack of customer support, other experiences have been perfect. We’ll be taking a small break for now from The Human Bean though and won’t be giving a specific location a third chance.”

“Dutch Bros has the best staff and the most sugar free options. Why would anyone go anywhere else.”

“Sean made this labor day outing a labor day party! He was one helluva bartender and gave an experience for me and my family. A lovely environment for the cottonwood downtown area. Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend this restaurant. Very friendly staff, excellent service, good prices, everything was brought out quickly and tasted amazing. My husband and I got the Huevos Rancheros and the breakfast enchiladas. Delicious authentic Mexican food, and definitely get some of their homemade hot sauce!! Super flavorful with just the right amount of spice. 10/10 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ going to be a weekly thing for sure, can’t wait to try their dinner!”

“SO GOOD! They came out to a big event we were hosting & everyone loved their food! I had a breakfast burrito and it was literally the best I've had. They're located right in our neighborhood too”

“Awesome restaurant and great staff!!”

“100% Recommend to anyone wanting cheap, fast, yet great food. Went in there thinking I was gonna spend over $15, I got a chorizo-filled something and it was only >$3. The guy is nice and seems like he actually wants to be there. Everything seems to be home-made, especially the taste.”

“My family was traveling in Clarkdale and had dinner at Naughty Burgers. The location was clean with a very cool atmosphere, there were many options to choose from that looked delicious. We went with the cheeseburger, BLT and the truffle/ Parmesan fries, all great choices. We highly recommend.”

“Nice clean bar, reasonable priced drinks and an outside sitting area.. Cool place”

“Delivery was fast and hot and fresh. Good customer service”

“Good food! Staff was super friendly. Best pastor tacos and carne asada we've had in town. Lots of allergy friendly options too. Delicious chips and salsa!”

“Ordered delivery and one item in the order was wrong. I called and let them know and they promptly made it right and redelivered quickly. Food was great and I was thankful for the willingness to make the mistake right and quickly.”

“Locals here, and Bocce Pizzeria is a place we frequent often because the food is always solid. This visit, though, really stood out and motivated us to leave a review. Our server, Edyta, was absolutely fantastic. Her customer service, attention, and warm demeanor made this the best experience we’ve had here so far. She truly elevated the entire visit.

“Michelle C. is a great bartender that is attentive, kind and made me feel welcomed which is was nice for a weary traveler just passing through? The atmosphere here was comfortable and pleasant. Stay kind everyone✌️”

“We are not from cottonwood but we found las salcitas Mexican restaurant it was very good food we order carne asada burritos they were very big and tasty and a quesadilla, it been a long time since I haven’t taste really delicious Mexican food, very spacious place,easy to park I definitely recommend this place, next time I know were to go when we go to cottonwood”

“I have been coming to Thai Palace frequently for several years because they have the best, most ethnically-tasting Thai food, and they are consistent in their quality, preparation, service and flavor. Excellent!”

“Love it here! Great place, people and coffee”

“Carne asada torta was incredible! Staff was friendly and the place is nice and clean… Highly recommend!”

“We went late, the atmosphere was quiet, the service was good and the staff was friendly. My husband loved his meal, I thought mine was okay. I would call this family and I prefer street style. Prices are good and the portions were more than enough, we both had leftovers.”

“Was not very busy and the employees were cleaning when I came in. Had a milkshake and everyone was friendly and my milkshake was very good. Had a good selection on donuts and accessories avaliable. Used the bathroom while I was waiting and it was clean and stocked. I will be back again for the spooky treats with my daughter.”

“Excellent food, wine and service.”

“Nice clean bar, reasonable priced drinks and an outside sitting area.. Cool place”

“I always order the tacos Al pastor - they’re gourmet! This place makes me WANT to drive to Cottonwood from Sedona, particularly if I need to go to Home Depot - I buy enough to have plenty of leftovers.”

“Horrible service even when it's not busy. Came in around 1pm about a week ago and left around 4pm and that wasn't because we wanted to be there. Had to go get a server to come to our table to take our order after sitting there for over an hour and then it took over an hour to even get our food. 3 hours in a restaurant is insane. Just saying. Most of the tables were empty. This was not the first time it has happened either. Black bear has lost our business.”
