Best burgers ever! No frills just great fresh burgers with chips and some pretty good chili. Great relaxed bar with great staff.

Not sure what all the hype is about this place. I wanted to like it based on my parents enthusiasm for the place. From food to service it was all bad to worse. Stopped in with my parents on a Sunday evening since they recommended this place as they had eaten there multiple times in the previous 7 days. Since it was a beautiful AZ night we opted to sit on the patio out back. They had a few picnic tables full with patrons so we figured that someone would be around shortly. We waited for more than 5 minutes before my Dad got anxious & wanted to go inside to the bar & get the drinks ourselves. So we ventured on in & bartender (male) was just horrible. I understand a person is busy but when you have 2 patrons standing there 2 feet away from you & you actually walked past them on a couple of occasions at least acknowledge they are there & just say "I'll be with you in a minute" instead of completely ignoring them. I used to tend bar & waitress so I get it. If we hadn't driven 18 miles there one way I would have walked out right then & taken my money elsewhere. I get that they were busy but an acknowledgement & a smile can go a long way on many levels. While the was a bartender ignoring us one of the waitresses walked past behind the bar & completely ignored us as well. Finally after standing in front of the bar for approximately 5 minutes without a single acknowledgement the bartender finally comes over & asks us what we want. No Hello or Hi. We got our beers & then happened to ask the the blonde waitress (as she whizzed past us while my Dad was waiting for his change for the beer) if there was a waitress for outside or if we put our orders in with the inside crew. She just says "She's out there." OK well in the 5 minutes we sat waiting for a waitress there was no one that was walking around outside. We ventured back outside to my Mom who was still at the picnic table. Waited another 10 minutes before a waitress finally came by to see if we had been served yet. Mind you the blonde was delivering drinks & food to the table next to us prior to this & saw us but never came over to see if we needed food orders taken & obviously we did since we asked her inside if we ordered outside or inside. Finally get our orders in with the brunette waitress & ordered Swiss burger medium. When burger was delivered (not by order taker) it was said to be medium-well. I told her I ordered it medium. Burger gets taken back into the kitchen & then right back out to me & she tells me it's medium. OK...you just said it was medium well so how did it get cooked less in the 45 seconds you ran it inside? She says the cooks said there's still some pink inside. OK. Whatever. By this point I didn't care anymore because I wasn't going to wait another 30 minutes for a burger to come out while my parents ate. Burger was plain to me as it didn't have a lot of flavor. It wasn't anything special. I grew up on a beef farm so I guess I know what good beef tastes like. I specifically ordered the Swiss burger for the rye bread but you couldn't taste anything but white bread. The bottom piece of bread was toasted pretty hard while the top piece was not toasted at all so the top piece of bread got all squishy & started to fall apart. And $0.99 for a few canned mushrooms? Really? At the end as night was settling in we waited for the bill to be brought out to the table. Yet again another 15 minute wait before we finally got up & walked into the bar & had to ask for the check. This time it was our waitress that was behind the bar that said "oh you need your check?" Seriously we have to ask for the check as well? Just from watching body language & attitude of the waitresses it seemed like they catered to those that were bikers & were far more friendly to them instead of giving all patrons a friendly smile. Had I known that I would have brought my brother who is a biker. The only positive things I can say about the place it that they had cheap food & beers. And it was nice to sit outside where the music wasn't blaring like inside. My Mom had actually eaten there 3 times that week (Dad twice) & she did say the 1st time was much better than the time I was there with her. Unfortunately for them when I am visiting Phoenix I won't be taking my money back there. I am used to hole in the wall burger joints & have been to many a great ones but unfortunately Wild Horse West doesn't fit into that category for me based on the crappy service as well as the mediocre food we experienced.

Hey, wanna grab a burger? We love this place! It's basically a no frills bar and burger joint. Huge burgers, cold beer and great lay back people watching. Cash only. Two can eat for under $20. Gets crowded when the snowbirds come back to town.

I had heard of this place, but had never stopped. Coming back from the lake one weekend, we stopped by for lunch. Upon walking in I felt like I had stepped back in time. The place was simple, picnic tables, bar stools, and a pool table. There's a good mix of customers from bikers, boaters, senior citizens to young families. The staff is friendly and have quick service. The menu is simple and easy. I got a hamburger and my kid got a hotdog, both are served with a bag of chips. The burger was big, juicy and cooked to perfection. The hot dog was a jumbo dog. Best burger I've had in a long time. Now we make it a point to stop every time after a weekend at the lake. I would even considering driving up on any given night. Just be sure and bring cash or you'll have to use the atm.

So far, my favorite burger in Phoenix! This isn't like the dozens of other gourmet burger places that seem to be popping up everywhere. This place is old, super low key, a hole in the wall type place but that gives it charm if you ask me. It's a bar and bait shop so stop here if you are on your way to Lake Pleasant. They don't even accept debit/credit cards, cash only. The burgers come with a bag of potato chips, no fries. Super simple but absolutely delicious burgers. They give you a peppercini on the side with the burger, haven't seen that before. I have also had the chili which was also good but burgers are king. Lately all I find are gourmet burger places, I'm not really into those. I usually find the best burgers at dive bars and this so far is my favorite one in The Valley. If you feel the same way I do about keeping burgers simple, try this place and don't forget to bring cash!
(5)Kori H.
Nothing like riding through the desert and stoping for a cold beer! And they finally have A/C!!!! It's awesome!
(5)Brady D.
Really good burgers, served with a bag of chips. Outdoor seating and a full bar. Really cool place to eat after a long day at the lake or after paintballing. I would come here more often if I could.
(5)Bill M.
I am new to the area and was driving around just to see what is out here. I saw all these cars and trucks at this big white building. It was around lunch time and a stomach growling so I stop here. They mostly only serve burgers. Boy I was impress on how they tasted. Thick and satisfying, but they only take money. They service is accommodating. I will go back again.
(4)Bob B.
I had been told about his place by coworkers and decided to take my parents, wife and 18 year old out for the "best burger". I'll make this review short. I actually thought it was average at best. My wife and daughter would have given it a negative one if possible, and my parents, trying to be nice because I bought (I know the tone in her voice), said it was good. So my recommendation is don't go out of your way to eat there.
(1)Dee I.
Amazing burger. Fresh, juicy, huge! Perfect ending to an amazing weekend! A must place to visit.
(5)Paula W.
You want the best burger on the west side of the valley? Go to Wild Horse West. They grill and then steam them for the juiciest burger you've ever tasted. Green chile, grilled onions, bacon and cheese burger is my favorite.
(5)Richard H.
This place has been in business a long time, despite a location that has no other commercial business around it for miles. There's a reason for that. They offer good food in an atmosphere that will remind you're not at some chain restaurant. The owner of this facility leases the property from the state annually, so he hasn't been inclined to invest a lot of money into the building. This is why they don't have deep fryers (it would require an electrical upgrade) and it's also why they still have a dirt parking lot. Still, $6.00 for a 1/2 pound hamburger is about as cheap as any (non fast food) restaurant can get. Pros: Cheap prices. Great tasting hamburgers. Not a chain restaurant Cons: location. Cash only. Limited menu

This place has been here forever. The burgers are good. Nice thick pieces of meat on reg store bought buns. No frills, back yard burger type food with a bag of lays chips for 6 bucks. They have a good selection of beer and a few craft beers to choose from. The inside is old and small and filled with plastic tables and chairs. Again like a backyard bbq type feel. Theres a sign that says they have the best burrger in AZ and that is a far stretch but it is good. Cash only.
(3)Carlos A.
Basic simple food, very inexpensive, but good. Great value. Bring cash, they don't take cards.
(3)Kyle S.
I have been coming here since I was a little kid going to the lake this would be our place to stop play some pool have a few drinks get some amazing burgers. The employees are nice always have a smile on. If you find yourself on this side of town maybe at the lake or at canyon race way stop in and get the Swiss burger on rye you won't regret it!
(5)Jon F.
A GOOD HONEST BURGER!!! Thick, juicy and cooked to your specs. However-know what this place is. This place AIN'T a franchise. It is, as they would say on the TV show, a real "dive". It's old. It's not polished. They have old TVs with only a few stations. They're cash only. They sell fishing bait up front. The menu is VERY limited (they don't have fries or draft beer). The patrons range from snowbirds (local vernacular for North Eastern weather refugees), to bikers, to rednecks, to young families coming in from recreation at Lake Pleasant and the local off road racing tracks. That being said, I love this place. It's a little bit of the old Arizona that existed before everything was homogenized and sanitized into uniformity. The staff treats you like family. The place is informal-just be yourself. And they serve what is in my opinion (and many others) the best burgers in the greater Phoenix area. Remember, we're talking hamburgers here, not Lobster Thermadore. If you're expecting 5 stars or an Applebee's, you shouldn't come here. If you come here, know what to expect: cold beer, good mixed drinks, a friendly, unprentious staff and the best burgers in town.
(5)Sinda S.
My husband and I love this place and drive out here regularly. It's a pretty bare bones atmosphere with fantastic burgers and a friendly staff and clientele. Quality is consistent. LOVE the chili! (Hi Sherry! ;) )
(5)Mark E.
No frills just great burgers served with chips.. We get here a couple of times a month. Go and kick back with cold beer (also full bar) and really great burgers.... As burgers go this is up there with the best - a must go!
(4)Keith L.
Great burgers the Chilli is pretty darn good also. Local bar and grill so dont exspect much as far as decor. no frys but the burgers are worth it.
(5)Andre L.
Not impressed by: cash only, having to pay for tomatoes (is that an Arizona thing?), bartender refusing to change TV channel from "Species" while we were trying to eat and one of our friends was kind of grossed out by it. Also, no french fries? Really? You're telling us that by charging for tomatoes it's still cheaper to pay Frito-Lay for chips than spring for a large Fry Daddy or some kind of commercial fryer? It's not a bad burger, but that's about all the place appears to have going for itself.
(3)Jim G.
Heard the burgers were great here. Well I don't see why. Costco bun, very little seasoning to the meat but they got the temp dead on, comes with a bag of lays chips. Many better places out there. Bottle beer selection was ok. Cash only no big deal. 4 burgers and chips, 2 bottles of beer and 3 cokes almost 50 out the door for a place with little overhead and zero ambiance. Tried it once but that was all we needed.
(2)Kathy J.
Wow! This place takes me back to the Bristol Tap in Bristol Illinois ( yelp.com/biz/bristol-tap… ). The place doesn't look like much but if you don't mind the cheap grocery store bun, these juicy, thick hand-packed burgers are for you. They only take cash and only have bottled beer but the place was clean, the service was great and you can show up in your bathing suit on the way back from Lake Pleasant if you want to. Oh and no fries, just cheeps. They have a small patio out back with picnic tables and misters. Unfortunately, the address shown on this listing is incorrect. They are actually located on the east side of Lake Pleasant Road just south of Carefree Highway. Looking forward to trying their chili. Can't wait to go back for another burger! Please don't bring your gun. They have signs all over so I don't think they like that.
(5)Kelly T.
Not the friendliest business, that is for sure. Service would best be described as 'rough'. Burgers were terrible. More like over cooked hockey pucks. Cash only. The owner / manager was aloof and got our order wrong. Waitress delivered all drinks by palming the tops of the beer bottles and drink cups. She later knocked over a beer on the table and didn't even offer to replace the beer she spilled. They were not busy at the time. Potato chip bags served with burgers were completely covered in some strange spackle. Will not go back.
(1)Anthony C.
My parents took me here when I was visiting them in AZ. I think they love the fact that the beers are cheap...which is nice. But, I thought the food was fair. My burger was greasy and over-cooked. I think the fact that they serve the burgers on paper plates is fine but the place is just DIRTY - I didn't even want to think about the kitchen. If you go here, DONT even go in the bathrooms - they are totally gross!
(2)Craig F.
Its all about the experience, the drive itself is part of the experience.
(5)Kellee K.
Simple menu. Cash only. Chili was particularly tasty. The Swiss burgers were quite good.
(3)Daren C.
The burger was better this time then last. The chili dog is good The chili is good. The only complaint was the $2.50 for 5 slices of tomato, and I could have gone for some french frys too.
(5)Rick J.
This is the pub burger you have been looking for. Nothing fancy, just a good solid burger with a ice cold beer. Be aware this is cash only, but unless you fall in you wont need much.
(5)Tom M.
So many times i have been driving to or from the lake and had a discussion with someone about how good we have heard the burgers were at wild horse west. Last year a friend and i stopped in to try it out. This place is a bait shop and bar. Dirty boot cheap beer dive bar. You can sit at the bar or on picnic tables inside possibly next to other patrons. cash only. Chips only, no frys. BUT the bugger is awesome. Thick greasy patty, melted cheese over mushrooms and thick crispy bacon (my way). One bite then you know why you came. I dont care for bars at all so this is what we do. Call ahead and be a bit patient it is a loud crowded bar sometimes. leave the family or friends with the boat and truck outside and grab every thing to go. Then its only a few minutes away from the lake. Now you can enjoy your awesomeness at the shore or on the water.It solves the problem of whats for dinner at the lake while setting up camp the first night. cheap regular hot dogs for the tikes. No more storys of good burgers.Now its time to eat good burgers.
(4)Ben S.
My grandparents introduced me to this place. As the other reviewer said.. they do burgers... and they do them very well. Can't say I've had a better burger. Service is great and I've always met someone friendly when eating at the bar.
