Michelle's Bar & Grill

While riding from Bisbee to Alpine this was the half way point and we needed to stop and cool off.  The bar is inviting and CLEAN.  Michelle was working behind the bar and was a really cool lady to chat with!  Didn't eat on this visit although it smelled great in there...  Beer was COLD and conversion was great.  This place is a must stop.  See you on the next trip through.

headed out on a weekend road trip up the Coronado Trail, we needed a place to eat lunch in the Clifton/Morenci area. The internet wasn't much help, but Ray at the Vintage shop in downtown Clifton suggested Michelle's ("good for lunch but don't go after 9 p.m....it gets a bit rowdy").

Stopped at the grey cinderblock building, with a bunch of cars, a few motorcyles and a Clifton Police car. Inside, the space was inviting, a bit 80s deco, but the folks were friendly, it was VERY clean and the service top notch. Within seconds, we had a basket of freshly fried tortilla chips and awesome homemade salsa. Big huge 20 oz. draft beers were only $3.50.

we each had a burger -- he a patty melt dripping with cheese and sauce. Me, a cajun spiced burger with as much blue cheese as burger. delish. Get the onion rings. Really. Get the onion rings.

Bathrooms were spotless and well appointed. Big screens showed the latest sporting event. a great mix of bikers, cops, local mining folks, a mom and her kid, a few couples and a gal from the local tattoo parlor. all enjoying a good lunch in the middle of nowhere.

We stopped at this restaurant while on a motorcycle outing because one of our members works in the mines nearby.  The service is very good.  They brought us chips and two kinds of salsa - home made and excellent in flavor.  I had enchiladas, and the sauce was fresh and home made, as well.   The menu lists a lot of varieties of food, so it is a great choice for a large group.
