Enjoy American Southwestern cuisine featuring salads, sandwiches, pasta, fresh seafood, mesquite-grilled steaks, and house-made desserts. One menu is served all day. Tonto Bar & Grill, gives diners a view of modern desert life with a peek into the past. The restaurant sits on what was once Native American land and later used as a stopover camp for the U.S. Cavalry, and the building itself was part of the prestigious Rancho Mañana dude ranch. It’s chock-full of the charm of earlier eras, displaying ranching implements, vintage 1940s photos and original architecture. Today, friendly service, fine casual cuisine, and comfortable atmosphere combine for a rustic yet upscale dinin

    Tonto has a very nice view from the lower patio. The seating was comfortable with plenty of umbrellas. The appetizers were very good and the salads were good. The Ruben sandwiches were horrible. Do not order unless you love grease and lots of salt. Anyway the fries that came with were good. Our server had some memory issues and apologized for it. Probably not return

    Ashli was our server and she was personable and professional. We had the harvest salad, which was delicious, as were the sand dabs. We would definitely recommend Tonto Bar and Grille.
