We have been to this restaurant several times and it is old but clean and the food has been good and very reasonable. Nothing fancy

Gravy for bicuits is not homemade. It is straight out of the can. During past six month more than 20 AZ "Food Code" violations have been cited...including rodent infestation which is still clearly present from the amount of feces on the front patio. No food warmers and thus food is often cold.



Since prior on-site manager (Ron) left the restaurant has gone steadily downhill since mid 2007. With Ron gone much of the "homemade" style items are adios.



Waitresses are uptight and bathrooms often overflow into serving areas. You might wait 20 minutes to get asked if you want coffee while employees stand around or the restaurant appears void of staff. Then there is the "ATTITUDE." Staff and mgmt can become defensive if people politely complain.



People ordering outside on the patio have been told "The restrooms are for inside paying customers only."



We have been there many times and were recently embarrassed with an out-of-town guest as an employee (who said they had worked there many years) acknowledged that they had never actually seen the tables washed and disinfected or the salt and pepper shakers wiped clean.



Several exceptional employees who treat customers great and would be a welcomed addition to any employer who cares about their customers include: Misty, Adam, Amanda, Britany and Desiree. Seriously, my family operates a multi-million dollar business in another state and I can tell you that these people mentioned here are exceptional - and sorely needed in the Apache Junction area by many businesses who claim that their customers are important.



Prices have sky-rocketed in the past two years. Some weekly breakfast items increasing by almost 100% (doubling) and forcing patrons to be in pairs with 2 for 1 coupons to obtain a meal competitive with other local establishments.



Want to be successful - open a competitive place right down the street and offer: Sincere and good service, reasonably priced food, and an outside area for smokers and you'll do well.
