Sally B’s exemplifies the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover.” This diner’s major sign on the strip mall’s header only says, “Restaurant.” You won’t know it’s Sally B’s until you drive close enough to see the door. The restaurant is in the same shopping center as Safeway and the Family Dollar/Dollar Tree. Despite unassuming exteriors, expect friendly staff and great tasting comfort food. I discovered something interesting I liked: The restaurant decorates its tabletops with old Sears catalog pages dotted with local ads. Despite its unpretentious nature, the furniture looks well-maintained. The restaurant is proud of its 5-year Golden Plate Award from Yavapai County Community Health Services. They should be proud because this designation is not trivial! We found this local gem while searching for the best local restaurants in the area. It is rated as one of the top one or two restaurants in the area. My wife and I visited Sally B’s twice as of this writing, and we are new residents in the area. Our server, Ray Pope, served us both times. He is a warm, kind, and friendly server, that guaranteed our return to the business. On our first visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy, one of the husband and wife owners, and also a delight to meet. While this place may cater to locals, visitors to the area wouldn’t want to miss a tasty, hearty meal at Sally B’s. The menu is huge. So, there is something for everyone. I tried the Friday Fish Fry on my first visit. The cod fish used a heavy thick batter, which was heavy for my liking, but the shrimp was excellent. They offered three sides besides the fish! The offering was so large; I wound up taking the fries and some of the onion rings home for a late-night snack. On our first visit, my wife ordered their Southwest Brisket Skillet, claiming it was almost as moist as the brisket I make. Which is quite a compliment. For breakfast this morning, I tried their Chorizo Omelet. The omelet came with hash browns and sourdough toast. Despite its size and deliciousness, I managed to finish the meal. I WILL order this again. The chorizo had a nice kick to it. If anyone leaves Sally B’s hungry, it’s their own fault. Sally offers gluten-free bread, one which they will make any sandwich. This is a big plus for my wife who must each gluten-free. Parking is plentiful as the restaurant is in the same shopping center as Safeway. Wheelchair accessibility is easy as there’s adequate space between tables. If anyone leaves Sally B’s hungry, it’s their own fault.

If you want a fancy dining experience, keep driving. However, if you want good down-home food with warm, friendly service, be sure to stop in at the Blue Hills Cafe. My wife and I stopped in on our way to Prescott Valley, with my mother-in-law, for breakfast and were not disappointed. Wanda was our server. She is a kind, responsive, and professional server. When my wife mentioned she has a gluten allergy, she offer a gluten-free English muffin, and stated that they would toast it on the flat-top instead of the toaster because of cross-contamination. This, of course, put my wife at ease, knowing they understood food safety as it relates to allergens. I ordered their chicken fried steak with hash browns, two eggs, and a biscuit with sausage gravy. I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. The steak was delicious! They cooked the hash browns to perfection, and they were not greasy. On our next trip to Prescott Valley, I'll order this again and start with the biscuit for sure. Their biscuits are the lightest and moistest biscuits I ever tasted. They are not the typical bone dry biscuits that need gravy in order to choke them down. When we return, I'll ask if I can order a half dozen to take back to Phoenix. This was our first occasion to eat at Blue Hills for breakfast. I have two recommendations. The first recommendation I could make for their menu would be to offer more in the way of southwest options to spice things up a bit, like chorizo, fresh spicy salsa, chili Colorado, besides your Ortega green chili (which I assume is out of a can). The second would be, offer quality steel-cut oats for your oatmeal instead of the quick instant oats that are slimy. My mother-in-law ordered your oatmeal. This, of course, is a business decision based on demand. Everything else on your menu represents a level of excellence. Your oatmeal should too. But again, this would be based on the demand for oatmeal, as making steal-cut oatmeal takes time (unless you make it overnight in a crock-pot). Steel-cut oats are rich and hearty, especially when you top them with fresh fruits and nuts. You can also increase the price point and the profit margin is crazy good as well for offering an elevated “gourmet” version, since steel-cut oats are very inexpensive and yield a lot of oatmeal per volume of raw oats. One thing patrons may notice is the steady stream of traffic in this restaurant. Good food and great service are why. While there, we noticed no staff just standing around. Everyone served the customers professionally and with a smile. We look forward to trying the lunch/dinner menu options on our next visit. Job well done!

Great service and delicious food. I needed gluten-free options and they were able to accommodate. The food was hot and fresh with a great taste. I ordered a skillet with chicken, red potatoes, chorizo, veggies, and 2 eggs. It was excellent.
