The Apache Burger is well worth it. It’s a nice thin fry bread with all the regular hamburger fixings. It’s a unique food experience and the folks here are very nice. Popular with locals so you know it has to be good.

The San Carlos Cafe is an oasis. Wi-Fi, local tribal members, good food, all in a historic tufa block building that's easy to find. You might want to drive to the old-town part of San Carlos just to have a nice meal here when you find yourself in this part of Arizona. It will be one of your best memories on your drive.
