Dirtwater Springs

HPIM3949 

Dirtwater Springs is located at 586 West Apache Trail. It has been an Apache Junction favorite for over 25 years. Our family went in for dinner on a weeknight at an off hour so we could avoid the crowds that always seem to assemble there at busier times. 

My son loved the western atmosphere which is also fun and friendly. The menu is diverse, with everything from Mexican food to country fried steak. The star of the menu is a 72-ounce steak. Other than its enormous size, what make this steak special is that if you eat the steak and all the "fixins" in one hour or less, your meal is free (just make sure you call your order in ahead of time so they can cook the giant up for you).

We ordered a sampler appetizer which included something for everyone in our family.

I decided to try a Mexican food dish so I ordered a 2 item combo with a tostada and a cheese enchilada.

My children had chicken tenders with fries (and ranch dressing of course).

Finally, my husband ordered ribs - which he raved about. He wanted even more because my children stole some off of his plate.

The most memorable part of the outing for my children was the western atmosphere which kept them pointing fingers and asking questions. My son was beaming as he drank his sarsaparilla out of a bottle and he really got a kick out of the swinging doors leading into the bathrooms.

If you are looking for an authentic western atmosphere and a friendly experience, stop by Dirtwater Springs. If you are feeling brave go ahead and try that 72 ounce steak.  ;)
