This is an awesome family owned restaurant! Their Pulled Pork Sandwich is my favorite! BBQ Ribs, chicken, beef and delicious side dishes make this a must stop! Inside you'll enjoy the western decor and excellent service! Look for the pink pig outside!

This is a nice Mexican Food restaurant. Their Grande Beef Burrito is my favorite! It is gigantic! Better bring a healthy appetite if you order it! The rest of their menu is excellent and has a nice atmosphere. Look for the dancing senorita sign that says family mexican restaurant.

This is a large Western Elegance restaurant. Mesquite Broiled Steaks
of every kind, Lobster, Seafood, just about anything you could think of
- they have. In the mood for desert quail, venison, buffalo, Minnesota
walleye pike? They've got it... It's moderate to high priced but well
worth the visit if you have the time. Look for a parking lot full of
tourists and you can't miss it.

If you are looking for fast food thats healthy, this the place to go. My favorite is the Terriyaki Chicken Bowl. Lots of veggies and good for ya. Wraps and salads and a nice change from the fast food lineup on White Mountain Blvd. Look for Walgreens across from the hospital - can't miss it!
The Christmas Tree Restaurant (928.367.3107) PLCC member
455 N. Woodland Road. Pinetop, Arizona. 5 minutes from camp.
It is Christmas all year round in this American family restaurant in business since 1977 - a favorite of Erma Bombeck. Have yet to visit them but I've heard good things about them. They are moderate to high priced; from surf and turf to lasagna, beef stroganoff to chicken livers supreme. All of their entrees are served with a side of their "famous homemade pickled beets". Their signature dish is chicken and dumplings - "like grandma used to make" A little ways down from Porter Mountain Rd where White Mountain curves. Just look for the big sign.
If you've found a good place near camp, let us know. Bon Appetite!
