| - Driving down the road through Cave Creek, Arizona, just before heading out of town and looking for some lunch how could you not stop at a place called Big Earl's Greasy Eats? Seriously!
I have to admit, the name scared my teenage daughter, but with a little bit of coaxing, we went inside the converted gas station. Go inside and place your order before taking a seat outside, where someone will bring your food while yelling your name.
If it hasn't already been, this place is a prime candidate for Food Network's Diners, Drive ins and Dives. It is a place for both locals and tourists alike.
The food was good. It was not greasy, much to the relief of my daughter. I had the mushroom swiss burger and it was cooked perfectly - very tasty. My fries were also really good. My daughter had the grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad. The chicken was big and, somewhat surprisingly, the salad was quite good - basic, but good. Prices were a little high for a "dive" but not too bad.
There was a pretty good selection of food and the service was good. The atmosphere was very cool. Bottom line is you cannot drive by a place named Big Earl's Greasy Eats and not stop for a bite to eat. When you do stop, you'll be happy you did.
