Crossroads Cafe – About us
Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner • Beer • Wine • Cocktails | Open 6AM – 7 Days a Week
Welcome to Crossroads Café
On December 13, 2003, we opened Crossroads Cafe with a simple plan; serve quality food, charge a fair price, and provide great service. Located 1/4 mile away from our cafe is a railroad bridge and road bridge, crossing over the Colorado River. Upon crossing of the road bridge, two states meet, Arizona and California. See a mural of the railroad bridge at our cafe.
In May, 2010, we opened Bobby D’s Diner, recalling diners of the ’50s, located only 4 miles from Crossroads Cafe in Parker. We serve ice cream, shakes, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The entire family here at Crossroads Cafe sincerely appreciates your business. Its a pleasure to serve you.
Thank you,
Lawny and Bob Caracci

I really enjoyed this place. Family owned, clean, friendly enough, etc. Our waitress was a little bitter (I think she was the mom and just jaded in general lol) but she was nice enough. The food was above average but for the price I was very impressed. I got a side salad, which was only 92 cents and had a good mix of veggies. The burger was only 7 dollars and had great fries. Also, the salads looked awesome. I normally do salads with a big variety of veggies and I saw someone eating one and it looked amazing. I would definitely recommend this place!

Historical stop along the 10 highway. They have an old timey gas station with lots of antiques to look at.
Subway, Pizza hut, Taco Bell, and the crossroads café for a sit down experience. Oh yeah... There's a great candy counter with amazing taffy!

Crowded parking lot and packed inside. Yummy fries and ranch. I had the grilled cheese which hit the spot but hubbies burger was really over cooked. They serve breakfast all day and it looked delicious so I think I'll try that next time.

Pulled into Parker Arizona late last night and couldn't wait to get to this place for dinner. I pulled into the parking lot just as they were putting the closed sign in the window. I was pissed and knew I was going to end up at Burger King, Just n the chris head chef walked outside and asked me where I was heading.
Super cool guy we hit it off great he told me to come in for a burger. This is the kind of hospitality and service that makes a great restaurant. Big props to you Chris and the crossroads Cafe team.
After a good night's sleep at the BlueWater Casino I came back over for breakfast. Thanks again Chris see you next time

The fries and ranch were yummy. The burger size was a little disappointing. It only took up 3/4 of the bun. The service was good but no smile. Hopefully she was just having a bad day. All-in-all, I've had better but I've also had much worse.

Wonderful Small Town Restaurant. This is exactly the kind of place I seek out when I go to a town I've never been to. It is obvious that the locals eat here, and that usually says something about a place. Definitely worth a stop.

Passing through and got a room at Best Western. I asked the clerk where a good, not fancy, sit down restaurant was at. We were given a few options, but told this is where the locals like to eat. My Mom had chowder and salad and I had a chef salad. Both with homemade ranch dressing. Both meals were very good. If you want a mixed drink, this is not the place to go, but the food was great, the portions were ample, and the service was great.

Sometimes can be a wait as this place is in high demand for the area. Food is good and prices reasonable. Everything I've ordered over years has been delicious. Hard to pick my favorite. My husband likes the Chicken Fried Steak. The fries with ranch dressing is oh so good. Service is good to excellent depending on day and time of visit. I would recommend this place as we stop here each visit to parker.

In town for the blue water Parker 425 race and decided to stop in. Wait time was quick as they were very busy. Served beverages right away and didn’t have to wait long for order on food. Atmosphere is very nice, not to loud and older dining setting very comfortable. Family friendly, I ordered the country fried steak and basted eggs with a side of French toast. Came out quickly for how busy they were and tasted very good. Defiantly surprised me. Would recommend this a place to stop by and eat to anyone near this way.

For "just a dinner", this place is great. Who doesn't like breakfast all day? The hash browns we're better than great. I will be going back for lunch and dinner. My husband really liked his meal, but the fact that he could order a beer or drink won him over.
John Perry
05:01 15 Feb 18
Finally, a great meal. We have had two meals here, and both were perfect. My wifes order was not quite done, and the waitress immediately had the kitchen correct it. I have never seen service so quick. A word of warning. This is not a quiet romantic place, but a loud happy people place. Great food at reasonable cost. RV parking in the back. Home cooking at its best.

This was the first meal I have eaten, within the five years just experienced, a dinner not hospital or prepared by me food. Coffee, Orange Juice, Potatoes, Omelette, Sour Dough Toast. I cannot explain how good food affects mood, the breakfast made everything ok. The service was quick but relaxed. Food hot, the potatoes where perfect.

Great food, reasonable prices, our servers were awesome! One was Rosa, and the othere was her trainer, I wish I remembered her name! They were very friendly, good sense of humor, extremely accommodating. We just loved them and the food was great! It was the perfect end to an evening out with friends!

Super friendly staff. I requested a custom order and it was no issue and DELICIOUS!!! I just put two menu items together to create what I wanted....a steak salad. The 8 oz ribeye and the large salad. Perfect!!!

Dinner specials are good. Breakfast is adequate.

I'm from LA, visit down near Havasu on vacation. Went here for dinner and was expecting typical disappointing diner food. But it was great. Grilled chicken Ortega sandwich with fries. Perfectly cooked, fries were crisp and we'll seasoned. Service was excellent. Becoming back soon

Probably one of the oldest and best restaurants in all of Arizona. I can't begin to count the number of times I have eaten there. Good HOT food delivered in a very short period of time compared to other restaurants in Parker. Excellent service with a smile every time!

Great little coffee shop. Large portions, 6 of us went to breakfast. Food served hot and fresh. Denver scramble was good, wished the bell peppers were grilled a little longer but all seemed to enjoy their food. Chicken fried steak is gynormous!

They aim to please. We went in to a good welcome, a quaint place with good old fashioned home made food with daily specials, just what we were looking for in a sea of formulaic fast food restaurants, it seems Parker is over run by them! The staff were great and took an interest in pleasing as well as friendly chat a proper homely feel to the place. A little gem.

Extensive menu with all-day breakfast (except pancakes & French toast). This restaurant will allow you to choose EXACTLY what you want, which is nice for those with dietary needs. We had delicious steak & eggs and cheeseburger & potato salad. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is no frills and a "bit rough around the edges," but good food. We will definitely return.

Good food, good service, lots of parking. Located on the main road to the bridge that connects Arizona with California in Parker AZ. If you want a sit down, cafe with American food. And casual dinning. This is the place.
Minus milkshakes.

The food here is really nice down home cooking. So enjoyed our visit here today. It is definitely a very popular place in Parker because the parking lot was full. They seated us pretty quickly but we did have quite a wait for our actual food order. After seeing and tasting our food however, it definitely was worth the wait. They gave us so much I had to bring home half of my chicken fried steak because I simply could not eat it all. The price was very reasonable as well. $8.95 for a huge chicken fried steak and eggs.

First time thru Parker. Had to try this small town cafe. Food was great as was our waitress. Our timing must have been impeccable because we had no wait time to be seated and the food came out promptly. The cafe was filling up quickly and the parking lot
was fairly full when we came outside, so I would say get in here early if you don't want to have to wait (they open at 7:00 a.m.). Well worth the stop.

During our visit this little diner had a packed house for breakfast. Even so there was only a surprisingly short wait for a table. Service was quick, polite and congenial. Our food was perfect and delicious! I will definitely return here during our next visit to Parker!

Plenty of cars in the parking lot at an early dinner time. The majority of the patrons were locals, so you know there's a very good chance it's going to be good, and it was. Good food. Good portions. Good service. Good place.

Family restaurant, home style. Food is good. I had some trouble with my meal but the waitress kindly made it right. I would go back. It's not a fancy or an up scale place. Riped seats and old fashion. Very clean. Great prices.

Places don't have to be fancy to be the best. The steak I had for breakfast was far better then the one at the casino resort next door. It's a hole in the wall,but it was great food.
Diane Hillegass
01:50 17 Oct 19
Food is always fresh. They are fast even though they are packed all the time. A great place to stop when you are traveling. The only negative is that it is old and some of the chairs and booths should be recovered.
Ed McCoy
22:23 07 Nov 19
Its a great place to eat. Had breakfast with 2 eggs over med, 4 sausage links & country potatoes And 2 pieces of toast, buttered, so I didn't have to mess with cold buyer on toast. The eggs were done perfect, links & potatoes were also real good. And not greasy. A lot of food, for a very reasonable price. The only downside is, I only get there about 3 times a year, because it is too far away, but on the way to Vegas.
Colleen Haner

Service and food were good and prices were fair. We were a party of eight but we were seated quickly. All of our dinners were excellent, the only problem being that they were out of several items. I would definitely return to try other things.

Excellent Food! Exactly what we were looking for. This must be one of two most popular places in town for a real meal with real food. They were busy, yet they had enough staff to handle everything and the food was great! We will definitely be returning to this establishment. The Eggs Benedict came with a hefty serving of Canadian bacon on the English muffin & the Hollandaise sauce actually had some decent flavor. The home fries/hash browns were actually Potatoes O'Brian and they were fantastic. The Belgian waffle was cooked to perfection and although the syrup was quite runny, the strawberries on top were served with glaze which completely thickened the syrup (passed on the whipped cream). The eggs over easy a d the sausage links were cooked as ordered. Highly suggest you stop in & enjoy this small town cafe. Support small businesses when you can. 😊

Crossroads Café Customer Testimonials
I’ve been through Parker a thousand times and never stopped to eat at crossroads Cafe. Now that I have I’ll never pass it again. If you do, it’ll be your loss. The food, the service, the atmosphere was all the best ever. It’s like you’re in a time machine back to when food was home cooked and served with a smile and when that all meant something. Thank you Crossroads for the wonderful dinner experience.
If I could give a 6 plus star I would. Had lunch and went back today for Breakfast! Best Cafe in Arizona! Great food and the service, WOW! #Millenniums you need to check this out!
So while making our way on July 4th thru Arizona, we stopped at this packed hole in the wall place to eat.
The food was great and not expensive at all. The service was good as well. We ordered the Fish and a cheeseburger and both were very good. I ordered a side of gravy to dip my fries in and it was fantastic. So make sure you try it…The only complaint I would have is the bathroom is horrible, the swinging saloon doors don’t shut for the stalls and no handicap bathroom area. It was not clean at all.
Just a heads up if you have to go you might hold it tell you get to a gas station or the visitor center for Arizona.
Spent the night in Parker and visited Crossroads Cafe this morning for breakfast. It is a busy place. We ate here once before…maybe two years ago. Nothing has changed. We have changed our eating habits in the past two years and were concerned we wouldn’t find any “healthier” choices in Parker. Pleasantly surprised that we found oatmeal, turkey sausage patties, and cottage cheese on the breakfast menu. Had some good coffee and “healthier” food to start our day. The service was good. Food came quick and our server was pleasant. We will be in Parker for the month of July so we expect we will definitely be back.
