These restaurants handed out menus and flyers at the Cave Creek Visitor Center. We rewrote everything in our own words and took hours, addresses and phone numbers from each restaurant's own website; where a flyer and the website disagreed, we used the website. We haven't rated them and nobody paid to be listed.
