When I have friends visit from out of town we always go to local restaurants. Thankfully we don't have any chain restaurants except Dairy Queen in town. And everyone needs a blizzard now and then I am not impressed by big earls but based on the reviews I would say give it a try and see how it works for you. Maybe you will have a 5 But when I bring friends to Cave Creek I always do Harold's for breakfast and the hideaway for bar food lunch and dinner super burgers, sandwiches, pizza But again, you might go to Earls and be transformed. Just come to Cave Creek and try our local restaurants and shops.
