We have found a couple favour places to eat in Old Town Yuma...
LUTES CASINO
A little History about the building...
"Built in 1901 right in the heart of old downtown Yuma Arizona. It looks old, like old places should. It was built as a general store with a hotel located on the second floor, with the hotel balcony overlooking main street. You ask one of the Lutes why they named the place a casino? "There's no gambling now, of course, but years ago there used to be gambling in here. They paid off the local authorities, and there was a trap door right behind you that went down to the basement where the gambling took place."
Piano Player...
Great Decor....
We tried Lutes Special Burger...
(Hamburger and Hot Dog Together)
IT WAS DELICIOUS!!
Potato Tortilla...
( potato and cheese fill tortilla...covered with cabbage..)
It was WONDERFUL
The rest of the menu is your normal Hamburger, basic Mexico food.
As well as the live music... there are pool tables at the back of the restaurant.
Garden Cafe
"Garden Café, a piece of cherished Yuma history - the latest in a long line of ventures passed down four generations! These grounds have been loved in, lived in, played in, and worked in by members of our family since E.F. Sanguinetti launched his career here in 1887.
A winding brick path leads from a street side courtyard entrance through wrought-iron gates, past aviaries and flowing vines. When you finally arrive at the enchanting, open-air restaurant at the end of the walk, you’ll feel as if you’ve discovered a secret garden. Leafy shade trees and brightly colored canopies provide a roof for the brick dining terraces. This delightful outdoor environment is enhanced by birds chirping in room sized cages and the fragrance of lemon trees.
The outside garden setting lets you enjoy our family recipes made with quality ingredients. Our breads and muffins are homemade."
