Award Winning Fried Chicken!
Best BBQ in Cave Creek!
The Horny Toad
The Horny Toad, Cave Creek’s oldest and most iconic restaurant, has been serving up mouthwatering dishes since 1976. Known for its warm, rustic atmosphere, this favorite spot is a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike. One of the main attractions is its savory, slow-cooked barbecue, featuring tender ribs and pulled pork that are packed with rich, smoky flavors. The outdoor seating and live entertainment add to the charm, making every visit an authentic Cave Creek experience.
But what really puts The Horny Toad on the map is its award-winning fried chicken, famous for its crispy, golden exterior and juicy, flavorful meat inside. The restaurant has earned a reputation for offering the best fried chicken in the area, making it a go-to for those who crave comfort food done right. With nearly five decades of tradition behind it, The Horny Toad continues to be a culinary staple and a cherished piece of Cave Creek’s history.
The Tipsy Toad Saloon
The Tipsy Toad Saloon is now open! Separate from the Horny Toad Restaurant, this lively bar offers an exciting twist with craft cocktails, ice-cold beer, and delicious small-bite bar food. Guests can enjoy a dynamic atmosphere and some of the most energetic, fun-loving bartenders in Cave Creek.
