It’s no longer a warm family, friendly fun place to go. They took all fun away from the kiddos. They removed the comfy lounge atmosphere and put in hard camping picnic tables everywhere. Being charged for a tab that was not mine, that was rang at the same time they checked me out. Repeatedly having things double delivered. Having to track down server to pay. Then prices being hiked insanely up.

Desert Rose was amazing but horny toad is a waste of money ( even the new name sucks) the menu is not the same and over priced!! No games for the kids no live music and they take for ever. Our order was wrong and couldn’t even send it back since we had already been waiting for over an hour. AND!! We were still charged full price even after the horrible customer service. STAY AWAY!! DONT RECOMMEND IT!! THANK YOU BAIIIIIIII✌?

This place use to be Desert Rose and was amazing but since bought out, no more games, no more live music, prices are outrageous, no more from scratch food, all the good dishes are gone. They lost pretty much all of their following from this. Do not waste your time trying to go when they don't even have consistent hours.

Had so much fun here! Super kid friendly. They had some outdoor games, large open seating area, decorated patio area, and picnic tables outside. The manager was lovely and made sure we were comfortable and interacted with my daughter. Will definitely be coming back. The food was amazing as well I was pleasantly surprised with how good the pizza was!Vegetarian options: Had tons of vegetarian friendly appetizers and dinner optionsKid-friendliness: Lots of outdoor games, open seating area, room for them to run aroundParking: The parking lot is fairly large there is additional parking around the corner.

The pizza was good. Our bartender seemed to be struggling as he was alone and there was a party on the patio. Better planning for events and having additional help might have been a better choice. Although it took quite a while to be served my beer was delicious. My friend ordered an Old Fashioned and it was not good. She ordered a second one and didn't drink it as it was bad too. The bar was sticky and gross and the sun coming in the windows and reflecting off the door was terrible. It seemed very dark and not very clean. I probably will not return.

Janice is amazing. We had our high school multi-class reunion there this last Saturday. Janice immediately greeted us and took our orders. She was friendly, fun and attentive. There was a lot going on and a lot of people. She was on top of it all. The other servers were wonderful too. It was an amazing time, the venue worked well for seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Very cool place to enjoy a meal, play games, and enjoy other entertainment. The food menu is great- I tried the mango habanero wings and they were very delicious and filling! I’d like to visit again in the future.

Went with another couple on a Sunday. Seated right away and the waitress was everywhere, she was the bartender, hostess and the only waitress. Her name is Morgan and she was awesome.!! The food was very good, my friend had the Pozole and said it was authentic . (get there early if you want it) runs out fast. Everything we had was delicious. We will be back.

We went with our friends for a birthday party. Everything was great up until the point the server told my boyfriend that his ID is fake. Please train your servers better so they know what to do when they are presented with different types of IDs, such as passports. It’s fine to ask if the ID can be checked by a manager, but don’t outright tell the customer that their ID is fake.

I went check the place out because on August they r wrestling AZ WRESTLING FEDERATION so why pay so much more for the likes of wwe or other promotions I think it would be nice to enjoy local talent n even though I didn't eat at the time the food that I saw did look good so I'm sure we will ordered something to eat n do another review next post will have pictures of the inside n of the food
I love this place because I can take my family or just enjoy a date night! It's a fun environment with games to play or watch. There is TV for those sports fantasy and there is also live music some nights. The food here is delicious. My boys love the pizza and wings!

Ever since the horny toad took over Desert Rose this place has gone downhill. We came in today with 25+ people expecting to just have a good time with the games and drink but we had to stall stand around and just talk. THEY TOOK THE GAMES AWAY. They need to bring them back asap. We would have spend SOOOO much more money if they had the games still. Our server Janice was amazing and so professional. So we're our bartenders Kevin and Dillon. They apologized for the games being gone but I know it's not her fault but the owners. PLEASE BRING BACK THE GAMES. PEOPLE WANT THEM!!!!!

Only liked the meatball sandwich and the pizza. Tried other things on the menu and they were just not good. The hot wings just have the sauce dumped on them and they were over cooked. We were also overcharged for buckets of beer because we go there weekly.
