Whether You Crave a Thick Steak or Authentic Southwestern Fare - Carefree Has It All

Dining in Carefree, Arizona, is as colorful and flavorful as the Old West itself. Coined by locals as the place for "Denim and Diamonds," this bustling town's motto is "Home of cowboys and caviar, where the Old West meets the new." And residents in vibrant Carefree have palates as diverse as the Sonoran Desert landscape itself. Whether you seek an intimate dining atmosphere, a rousing game of billiards, or a hearty burger in an authentic western saloon, the restaurants at Carefree Resort & Villas can accommodate the most demanding appetites. Venturing "off campus," you can savor a taste of "Old Mexico" at the Spanish Village, a charming collection of eateries and stores just minutes from the Resort. Journey back in time at Frontier Town - a re-created Wild West collection of steakhouses, saloons, and the Black Mountain Brewing Company, which brews Cave Creek Chili Beer. Those with more upscale appetites can venture to nearby Scottsdale - home of Mastro's Steakhouse and the fine-dining restaurants of DC Ranch, one of America's most affluent golf and residential communities. But if you don't feel like leaving the grounds of this enchanting Resort, you can enjoy the dramatic mountain views and rich American and Southwestern cuisine at The Lariat Grill - featuring favorites like grilled steaks, seafood, and thin-crust pizza. Add a delicious dimension to your Carefree, Arizona resort vacation in the Resort's onsite restaurants, including:
