Awesome burgers!! Decent Nachos!

Two thumbs up!! This place is run pretty well and even when there is a crowd the food comes out quick. Makes for a great short offroad trip as well!

Roxy and I love hanger 24. Great food and service at a reasonable price. They make the best Chinese chicken salad in Havasu washed down with a Shandy.

On a side note we were in Phoenix this last weekend for a bday party and we ate breakfast at “Heymaker”. Why can’t we have food like this in Havasu? It was epic.. I’m still stuffed from two days ago.. lol

Whiskey River in Parker (lunch). Well I actually made time To run by this place because I have been hearing so much about it.. we went for lunch so I can’t speak to the ridiculously expensive dinners yet.. Lunch was priced fair and honestly all of it was really good!

Love love love their steak fries.. tomato bisque soup was bomb. I’m not a big fan of patty melts but that’s what Tyler wanted as we were splitting. The loaded skins were good

We will be back for more.

Azul agave.. they have the best chips and salsa in Havasu hands down.. actually some of the best anywhere. It’s just amazeballs. The food itself? It wouldn’t hang in California but I’d say it’s between here and chicos for best Mexican in Havasu. All of chicos salsas and hot sauces are “blah” in my opinion, but their actual food is the best..

So ya get this place with the better salsa and slightly lower than chicos food.. or chicos food with their shitty salsas.. lol

At azul my favorite thing is the fajita burrito / steak. You won’t be sorry.. shredded beef tacos are good as well and mix perfectly with their yummy ass salsa.

River city pizza in Needles.. yes Needles.

Why is it Needles being the armpit of the world has better food than Havasu.. their pizza is fucking amazing.. their hot Italian fuggettaboutit…. THE BEST.. Philly cheesesteak?

All of it is waaayy better than any pizza joint in Havasu.. when ya walk in you get that old
School pizza parlor smell, and none of it disappoints. Highly recommend!!

We are up here filming a house and I told the guys we gotta stop here and eat. They were looking at me sideways.. at the end they all agreed it’s better than anything in Havasu by a LONG SHOT.

River Front and River City in Needles are both really good. River Front has a much better location but it tougher to get a seat on the weekend. Both are good options when staying at @Bigbore500r ’s.

Maybe you were hungry from all of the smell of weed ???!!!

We often have pizza delivered to Pirates when we stay over the summer and its always been good.

Also there is a descent and cheap mexican resturant over the bridge in Needles- It used to be called Valdez but I think they recently rebranded it under a different name.

El padrino pizza is fast becoming a favorite of mine and the kids! Their hot Italian is huge and can be split by two people, it’s very good!

Their pizza hangs in there with any of the better shops in havasu. Kids love the Italian food especially the cheese ravioli.. it isn’t fancy like Mario’s or Angelina’s

Need a report on the new North Side Grill. Replaced the Wet Clam by the theaters. Also, the Iron Wolf CC restaurants are open to the public now in the Refuge.

I have a million of these I need to update..

The Chicago dog both at Legendz and Tavern95... eeexxxxxcccceeeellleennnt..

Rosatis Thursday special less than 2.00 for their Chicago dog!! not as good as the other two, but for under 10 bucks with tip it's hard to beat the value.

Thanks for mentioning that, I probably haven’t been there in 25 or 30 years and used to eat there quite often. I guess I’ll have to give it a try again.

Between my iPhone (photos sent this thread) then iPad to do the rest. Not my best effort, but got it done!

The wine list snuck in with my photo selections— The two times we’ve been there, both were for lunch! Can’t wait to do dinner!

IMG_6642.jpeg


Lunch menu! The fookin Avocado Bomb! — Was the bomb! Both times!

IMG_6641.jpeg


IMG_6640.jpeg


Dinner menu! We were told they can do anytime!

The house made Clam Chowder was Very good with plenty of chunky clam!

IMG_1849.jpeg


I quit taking pics after this showed up! But — I had the fish & chips! No complaints! 3 fair size pieces cooked perfectly and the chips (fries) are better than anything I’ve had in town! My wife had their house made (special) the chicken pot pie! She luv’d it! She had a salad the first time and said the same!

we will go back for dinner soon and will always be on our list of top Havasu Eats!

Can’t wait for RD’s reviews!

Foundry Clam Chowder - 1st time I tried it, it was outstanding, some of the best I’ve ever had. 2nd time, it was good but not nearly as good as the first time.

Took the boys down to Havasu Springs for lunch (inner harbor)

The springs no a has always had consistently decent food.. you won’t be blown away but you won’t be disappointed either.

I prefer to go there for dinner over lunch, and I prefer the outer harbor burgers over the inner.. but when it’s hot as balls out the AC for the inner will tip the scales to favor it.

Rusty’s is on the absolute hit list for breakfast / lunch in Havasu.. if you haven’t eaten here you are missing out.

I have never had something here that I didn’t like.. prices are reasonable, staff is awesome.. you won’t be disappointed!

The other day I was thinking about ole 2forcefull so I went to one of his spots “Bad Miguel’s”..

I for the life of me do not understand why anyone likes this place.. I even knew walking in It was gonna be “blah”.. it’s just bland food?

I’ll go back again next year..

Chicos tacos…. As you can probably surmise from some of the later photos I’ve been trying to eat more salads and healthier..

This wasn’t my favorite thing at chicos but it was good. Love their tacos, enchiladas etc!! My biggest complaint is their salsa is blah.. not one good mix in the joint..

Now if ya took azul agaves salsa and chicos food we’d be on to something. Azul agave has the best salsa in town by far.
