I have been there a number of times and it is a nice, quaint, restaurant. The food is acceptable and the cost is not very high. It is a small restaurant but it should not be a problem to seat six people.
We had four people from the valley and three people from Payson meet at Skull Valley. Too bad, I wanted to try it. We went on to the airport restaurant in Prescott. I've been flying in to there for the last 30 years, but this is the first time I've driven into it. Good food at reasonable prices.
Remember, Skull Valley is closed. We're headed to Globe tomorrow for breakfast. Leaving the Shell station in Fountain Hills at 0700 and going to La Luz Del Dia.
Skull Valley Diner is open...bad news it is under new ownership and is called Sal's Skull Valley Diner. The really bad news (for me) my favorite chili verde omelet is no longer on the menu . The good news...the food was good, portions generous, staff (including Sal) very friendly and efficient....still gonna miss my omelet.

Inquiring minds want to know?????:shrug: I did 325 miles this morning for breakfast. Ftn Hills to Globe, up the Salt River Canyon to Show Low, across to Payson and down the Beeline to home. By the way, the Café I went to in Globe was also closed, but at least there was another one a block away.
I totally understand that the Skull Valley Café may have closed since my last visit seeing that there is new ownership...it is on the main road, across the railroad tracks from the "closed" general store (opposite side of the street). I too have had similar issues with restaurants in Globe but look on the bright side...what a great ride you had...that's one of my favorite rides except I take the route through Fort Apache on the reservation.
Does anyone have their phone number? I can't seem to find them and I want to make sure they're open before I make another trip up there. The old number is disconnected. Thx
I have it on good authority that the new owners have reopened the cafe!!! A group of friends ate there on Monday. I regret I don't have the new phone number; perhaps Directory Assistance?
Just as you come up out of Salt River Canyon take a right on 73 it's a nice two lane road that will drop you into Pinetop at the Hondo Casino (think that's the name). Just changes up the ride a little...some days we ride on to the Big Lake loop and return to the valley the same way or through Payson...just depends.
