Absolutely love this place!! It has a small town feel and eating here made me feel like I was in a Hallmark Christmas movie. They have the cutest Christmas decorations and very friendly staff. I ordered Big Earl's burger with no onions and it was seriously amazing! It comes with a "secret" Cajun sauce. I don't typically like spicy things, but the sauce gave the burger extra extra flavor. We also tried out the AZ prickly pear lemonade and that was delicious! We came in here on a Saturday after doing some hiking in the area, and this place hit the spot. We were pretty hungry when we got here but left very satisfied! This restaurant is located on the main road and has its own parking lot. p.s. We also ordered the cheese curds which were great. I'd highly recommend them because you get a really big portion!

Everything's great! I was hooked immediately years ago when we lived in Cave Creek; but I'm still hooked!

Such a cute unique restaurant! It's an old fashion gas station made into a fun restaurant. Most of the seating is outdoors but they did have limited indoor seating. My Dad got a peanut butter milkshake but when asked if it was made with real milk I was told it was a premade mix. They had all kinds of menu items one would expect from a "greasy eats " place. There's a cute candy shop next to the restaurant. Being gluten free I did not eat there. I didn't see any options for me. A fun place to hang out.

Big Earl's has been a staple for us for a long time. It's in an old gas station and most of the tables are outside. There are tons of outdoor games, and an old timey candy shop. All singing and game areas are enclosed, so kids can sort of just roam around and be entertained. As promised, the food is mostly greasy American, but very tasty! The only advice I have is not to get the kids hot dog if you're not a kid. It's not as good quality as the adult dog - by a long shot - which is probably why the kids dog is so cheap. Everything else, including the adult dog, is great. They even have boozy milkshakes and a full bar, which can be used for boozy hot chocolate or coffee on cold nights. I highly recommend taking the family for a drive in movie night at dusk on a Saturday - just check their website or socials for what's playing that week. You can bring camping chairs, or just use your truck bed with some blankets. A friend once put a whole mattress and little lights around the truck bed to make it really cozy - the kids loved it!

Best greasy spoon and burgers! We love spots like this and it did not disappoint, we'll be back for breakfast! Wow! The food was so on point, my bbq burger was perfect amount of smoky flavor with a nice bbq kick! My wife loved her melt, perfectly balance of cheese and burger. And the fries were SO good with a great crisp and just the perfect fry. Not a lot of searing inside but once it's cooler out, plenty outside and it's covered.

Why yes I do recommend . We ended up purchasing their lemonade to take home. We had a group of family with us who were all visiting us and they too enjoyed the lemonade and burgers so yummy

Such a cute retro diner and a great place to grab a bite! Friendliest, nicest staff ever!! Sweet potato fries are the best!! Long and crispy!!! Can eat inside, outside or a quick take-out.

Every time I drive through Cave Creek, I want to stop here, and today was finally the day! We came with our dog, they are very dog friendly, plenty of seating outside with fans and misters. They even gave our pup a bowl of ice water. There are tons of cool games to play as you wait for your food. We ordered garlic fries to share, which were cooked to perfection. The chicken club was super yummy, and the chicken was so flavorful and juicy. At the register, they had some freeze dried candy bags, I recommend after you eat , checking out the candy store right next door. We got freeze-dried sour skittles and some unique taffy flavors . The artwork around gives you plenty to look at and talk about as well. We will definitely be back.

It really isn't that greasy. Walked in an greeted by an exceptionally nice lady. Helpful too. The Big Earl was plenty and was terrific. Fries are good as well as the cheese curds. They have misters to help knock down the heat. Yeah, I'd go back for sure.
