Don's Cactus - Salome

The excuse was made that they’ve only been open for 34 days and short staffed. Owner Kristina said that the reason the steak was tough and dry (it was a ribeye 8 ounce supposed to be medium), was because it was still frozen when they cooked it. The potato was put in a microwave for eight minutes with other potatoes. It was still not done. The salad took 20 minutes to get to me and that’s after I asked for it twice. The green beans were cold which the owner was shocked that I said that. Even though they have scoopable butter, they put out small cups that were less than half full or had already been used. Even though she eventually gave me a refund on my meal, I don’t think I would return there for any reason. And don’t even get me started on the 2 inch acrylic fingernails of one of the servers. Apparently, according to the owner, there is no health code in AZ against nail polish or length of nails for servers her polish was chipped so I think she needs to rethink that company policy.

It was November 2019 when I pulled into Salome cold, tired and hungry. I checked into Sheffler's Motel, where the hot water didn't even work . . . So, I came down to the Cactus Bar and was rewarded with a good meal and a couple beers. Life was better!

Fun Place to eat. They were able to accomodate our large group on short notice.

I had an amazing visit! They distributed roses to all the mothers, which was a lovely touch. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming!

Stopped in for a few frosty beers. Good times. Lots of fun
