River Bottom Grill & Gila Trading Post Reviews

0

So a wildfire (no joke) forced us to turn around on Highway 77 and head back to Globe and then take Highway 79 back to Tucson after a day of boating on Roosevelt Lake. Â Using Yelp I found the River Bottom Grill in Florence and it was the perfect stop. Â It is a smaller place, more of a bar but also has a good menu with many options.

I ordered the Atomic Burger with garlic fries. Â The burger was pretty good and was topped with cheese, bacon, jalapenos and siracha sauce. Â Overall it was pretty good and hit the spot. Â The garlic fries were great though! Â They were steak fries covered in chunks of garlic and some melted garlic butter...my breath still smells like garlic!

The wife ordered the Cowboy Burger with regular steak fries and she said it was pretty good as well.

For the size of the bar they had a decent selection of beers on tap. Â They had San Tan Devil's Ale, Blue Moon, 1755, Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy and a bunch of the big brewery beers.

A great little stop if you ever find yourself in Florence!

My family hosted the First Annual Eddie Martinez Cinco de Mayo at the River Bottom Grill on 5/4/13 and it was awesome!!! River Bottom went above and beyond to help make this a successful fundraising event! The food and drinks were great and the space was perfect for the event. Â There was a bounce house and water slide for the kids along with facepainting, sno cones, silent auction, cake auction, etc. Â It was amazing to see the town of Florence come together to support my cousin's husband, Eddie in his battle against cancer. Â My husband and I will definitely be back and look forward to next year's event!

If you are driving through Florence you must stop in and grab a bite to eat. Large outside patio with smoking and a great view.

This place has really gone downhill over the past few years. I've been going here for about 3 years (work in the area) and I've seen it go through many changes and it has changed owners and as the new owners continue to change things.

First, smoking lounge is gone and they're now making way for the "Blue Adobe Trading Post" where they will continue to sell the horribly tacky, garish, and overpriced rhinestone handbags, shirts, and belts that they've been selling at the bar section recently.

It also seems like they change out the furniture every two months or so. I don't get why they keep doing this, how they can afford to buy so much furniture, and what the reason for it is. The place is also kept a little too dark for what its trying to be.

The menu used to be pretty large, but is pretty overpriced for what they offer and for the place. They cut the menu down to a page or two a few weeks ago, but it is still overpriced.

This is a biker friendly bar. Ice cold beer with a good selection. Excellent burgers. During the summer they have live music on Friday nights. Once it cools down outside though they have live music on Fri-Sat starting in the afternoons.
