I've wanted to check out this restaurant for some time now. Â I envisioned a vintage establishment with humble decor, home style American cuisine and decent service.
I wasn't disappointed with the decor, the service was adequate but the food was not at all what I was expecting. Â I ordered chicken fried steak sandwich and french fries. Â What I got was a frozen breaded meat patty that was deep fried slapped on a bun and served greasy. Â It was horrible. Â I managed to choke it down, paid my bill, tipped appropriately and left. Â I will never be back.
There are a lot of Mexican entrees on the menu, maybe those are better. Â For what I got it was simply too expensive.
Coming in based on a recommendation of local. Good mexican food and lots of local history on the tables...
So Headquarters definitely delivered. Â Steady stream of people coming in the door and the food was tasty and hearty. Â I went with the largest plate I could find....the Machaca and Eggs. Â A hefty scramble with shredded beef, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers served with beans and a massive tortilla all for $8.50, half of which came home with me. Â Also the breakfast special was only $3.95 for egg, hash browns, toast, and I think one other item.
Oh and you could have bathed a small dog in the drink cups....they're huge! Â Sweet tea was very tasty.
Love the history and you can tell it's a local watering hole. Â Believe that the other half of the building is the actual lounge at night. Â Won't have to second guess where I'll be eating next time I pass through Maricopa.
Service was quick and no nonsense.
