Restaurants near Rio Verde

“Tim our waiter was very nice, informative and great conversation for sure....”

“I come here sometimes twice a week to take a break. I'm a window cleaner here in Rio/Tonto and I love this little place. I always get the BLT. It's delicious!”

“We came here on a Friday afternoon with my husband's aunt who lives in the community. We sat outside with a lovely view of the majestic mountains and beautifully maintained golf course grounds. Our server Rachel was very friendly and attentive. Given that it was a Friday during Lent, we much appreciated the seafood options on the menu. We ordered calamari to share as an appetizer, which was tasty. I also ordered a bowl of Manhattan clam chowder before my meal, which was also tasty. My husband and his aunt both ordered the tuna wrap, which was huge (his aunt had to bring half of hers home) and I ordered the salmon southwest salad, both of which were delicious. Even better, we very much appreciate the carrot cake dessert option, which is a favorite of ours to order anywhere it's offered (and we were surprised when Rachel asked "any room for dessert?" and my husband answered "well, let's see, do you have carrot cake?" and Rachel said "yes, we do, and it's delicious!" and indeed, she was correct!!!). All in all, a fabulous meal with a friendly server and a phenomenal view.”

“Drove out from Phoenix and so glad we did! The food was great but the views cannot be put into words, I didn't want to leave (and it was the best iced tea I've ever had).”

“This place was a great respite back in January for this weary Massachusetts motorcyclist coming from Safford, up the Apache Trail and down the Beeline Highway. Lovely staff, coffee and the Fountain view. simply the best.”

“The best in the Phoenix valley!”

“Great place, had a couple guys singing and playing guitar, very good music, lots of fun. Great beer..I had the Leopold. Husband had stout, friends had various IPA's”

“Best ice cream in town!! My Husband loves the Zanzibar chocolate milk shakes! Rich and creamy ice cream. Wonderful customer service and locally owned!! 10/10 we’ve been here many times and will continue to support this small business!”

“The place is quite decent. Just was there and they have raised their prices. I find it no longer worth it to eat there. I think their new prices are out of line so I will be going somewhere else. I really think they do not care since they are very busy and also do a big bar business.. I just don’t like being ripped off. There are better choice in the surrounding area.”

“It's a great experience!!”

“😊 Great place to meet friends for coffee and pastries while social distancin.”

“Our steaks were excellent. I had the any strip and my buddy the Fillet. They brought us a tasty chefs treat and then another “bonus” item of Pork Belly. The bread was really fresh and delicious. A few minor mix ups. We didn't order salad sand they tried to bring another tables. We ordered creamed spinach. They brought us the first two sides. I accidentally asked where our cream corn was not cream spinach. They brought the cream corn, it was delicious, regardless. Attentive staff and overall a great experience!”

“Classic deli, solid bagels. A proper sandwich or bagel sandwich might just be one of my favorite meals, this place is cravable. The included small side is a nice addition. So many options, coming in with an idea of what you are after helps.”

“I don’t know if we go more for the food or for the company. We look forward to seeing the staff and there’s always a friendly face eating at the bar. The food and service never disappoint.”

“The view of the Fountain from here is gorgeous! Lots of tasty menu items, and the couple who runs this resturant were very friendly. Highly recomend stopping by for dinner and watching the Fountain go off on the hour”

“Fabulous food & incredible service .... wonderful experience each time I’m in the restaurant. Highly recommend this family owned restaurant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“THE APP DIDN'T WORK! When I went to pay for my order online, the app had literally taken all of my customizations off the order. I didn't realize this until I got to the store and the pizza made was the wrong kind of pizza. The staff were so nice about it and not only refunded my money but made a whole new pizza the way I had originally ordered it.”

“Wow! I am thoroughly impressed with this restaurant. We were driving home to Gilbert from Payson and decided to make a pit stop for lunch in Fountain Hills. Sushi sounded like the perfect cuisine after a day of strenuous hiking. First off, this place is absolutely gorgeous. Painted cement floors, large comfy booths, not to mention the beautiful artificial Bonsai tree in the center of the restaurant. Like another reviewer said, I'm not much on fake plants, but this was a nice touch and not too tacky. The service was pretty good, our server Emily checked in on us quite a bit. However, the best part of the experience was the food. I started with the Baked Scallop Dynamite Roll, which was phenomenal. My Dad loved his Lunch Fried Rice with Chicken as well. Surprisingly, the Miso Soup and House Salad we had on the side was delicious as well. Especially that salad, the dressing was to die for. Enough said, we'll be back to Oka for sure.”

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

“We called Andy last minute due to a drop out and SoCal stepped up to the plate and covered our event. Great communication, showed up early. And the food was fantastic with reasonable pricing for a family friendly event. This is the way to build a rock solid reputation. Great service. We will definitely work with SoCal again!!!!!”

“I ate there on 1/31/26 I had the shredded beef tacos plate. It was to die for. It was plenty of food too. Sooo delicious. Some of the best I have ever had. I cannot wait to go back. I will definitely order the same thing.”

“Great little cafe. Awesome breakfast choices, I love bread and they have the best sourdough toast. Also great service and employees who care about their job.”

“I’ve had a lot of good pizza in my life…in Italy, New-York, Chicago, other parts of Europe…. Something about Pisa Pizza that is just simply incomparable and out of this world. Don’t change a thing!”

“Enjoy your day wonderful food”

“Nature's Finest Health Food store has a great selection of products and the staff there is knowledgeable. Stop in for your health care needs. Someone is there to answer your questions and to suggest the right product for your needs.”

“This is our 3rd time eating takeout at Blossom Kitchen and the food is always fresh and delicious. The food is always ready quickly generally 20 mins after placing your order. Highly Recommended!”

“I stopped by water and ice today and got the BEST customer service!! They stopped what they were doing to answer my questions, tell me about the process and I got to sample the water. The water and ice tasted amazing. This will be the only place I get my water from. Thank you for your help and kindness!”

“Tonight I enjoyed dinner and a look at Fountain View Village. It was very cheerful and bright building with many areas for residents to gather. The residents I spoke with seem to greatly enjoy being a part of the community and all the activities it has to offer. The dining experience was exceptional with shrimp, Caesar’s salad, lobster tail and chocolate cake. It was absolutely a 5 star dinner with an exceptional staff. I would highly recommend looking at FVV as a living option. It is a lovely community with many happy residents.”

“The staff are always super friendly and chatty every time I come through. As for the products, while their vanilla latte tastes really floral and I wish they had more options for coffee, I love their iced Golden Eagle.”

“This is one of my favorite places to bring out of town guests , relax , drink good wine, and listen to great music!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
