The Horseshoe Café, Wickenburg, Arizona

While traveling across the country in my pursuit to play all 185 military golf courses, I have stumbled into a variety of restaurants, dinner, and dives that served great food.  There was Odies Big Sky Café in Shelby Montana, Rudy’s real Texas Bar-B-Q in Houston Texas, The Coloumbia Restaurant in Ybor City, the old Cubin cigar making district. But one of my favorite places for breakfast is the Horseshoe Café in Wickenburg Arizona.

During our military golf trip through Arizona, Col Bill Logel and Msg John Zook stopped for some breakfast in Wickenberg.  It was the only place open so in we when.  After nursing bills skinned up knee, we asked what there known for, and without hesitating, a loud Biscuits & Gravy came out from the waitress and the customers, but you boys better only get a half order.  Every time I’m in the area of Wickenburg Arizona, a Horseshoe Café visit is on the schedule.

Yes it’s small, yes it’s hard to find,  yes you’ll see cowboys and bikers, yes it’s just a little diner, yes the portions are large, but the food is outstanding especially the biscuits and grave.  As you can see, I’m having a full order of biscuits and gravy with a Denver omelet with hash brown potatoes and Rusty, my golf buddy is having a half order.

Dick Hoyt was the big kahuna in the kitchen that morning that makes it all happen and sometimes its Steve or Anthony.  Amber and Leanne keep the food flowing and all the customers happy.    You won’t find any tofu, sprouts, or any of that California stuff here, just eggs, sausage, gravy, meat, potatoes, and all your deep fried favorites.  Rule number 1 at the Horseshoe Café, GREAT FOOD AND LOTS OF IT.

If you’re in the area, this is a must stop on your bucket list.  Just tell them Msg. Divot sent you, and enjoy the experience.
