• Big Nose Kate's - A fun touristy place to eat. There's cool stuff to draw you in. The Movie Tombstone is always playing on TV. Take a Western style photo to bring home. They have gear to wear: cowboy hats, wild rags, etc. You can get hung! Then have your meal. Many weekdays there's entertainment by Raleigh. The food isn't bad. I love their salads. Their history is skewed, as there never was a saloon called Big Nose Kate's. And "The Swamper"?? Hmmm. The building was the historic Grand Hotel, but it burnt down in the May 1882 Historic Fire. Only the front arches survived, and the bar from the basement saloon. Open every day at 10 a.m. 520-457-3107

• Mario's Bakery Cafe - A unique lunch menu, check their board for delicious types of hot sandwiches, paninis and pizza. They center on Italian style! Open at 11 a.m. As a bakery, they have daily specialized delights! Yummy! We've eaten here, and it's wonderful! There's indoor seating, and some outside on the patio next door. They also do catering, and can arrange some specialty dieting items, like keto and vegetarian. Open until 10 p.m., except Tuesday closed at 4 p.m. Easy to find on the South side of Allen St., between 5th & 6th. For more specifics: (520) 266-9101.

• Cafe Margarita - At 151 S. 5th Street, corner of Toughnut. Open Thursday through Sunday only, at 11 a.m. They have Mexican food, Italian food, and American type choices like burgers, etc. Assorted, for sure. Plus alcoholic beverages. Prices and food okay to acceptable/not bad. Most of our friends avoid it, actually. We have eaten here occasionally. The lot, and the building to an extent, though, Is Historic> (520) 457-2277

• Vogan's Alley Bistro - Newest Tombstone restaurant option. In that recently reopened, new ownership, after shut a long time. We haven't personally been in yet. But friends/others we know have mixed reviews. Service up/down depending. Food pretty good, but not the value. They have a bar. 12 String Guitarist Johnny Bencomo plays Thurs. & Fri., 11am - 5pm. Sat. 11-? People say he's excellent!

1. It's also got lots of history, been right there since 1881 - the prisoner, Johnny Behind the Deuce was held there - for one thing! They recently started breakfast (Check it>)

---

• Tombstone Mercantile Ice Cream Shop - A cool little place taking you back: Reminds you of the old-timey drug store "soda fountains" of the 50s. Besides ice cream (which is the only thing we've had - yummy!), they have simple menu items. Hot dogs, soup, sandwiches, soft drinks. Reasonable prices. Sit at the vintage bar transported from 1913 Warren (Bisbee). On Allen Street, near 6th.

Stay for Dinner in Tombstone Arizona

• Big Nose Kate's Saloon - 417 E. Allen Street. Serving dinner every day but Thanksgiving & Christmas. A nice variable menu, usually pretty good. We've eaten meals here often enough. See More Details under the Lunch Heading. The Saloon is open until midnight.

• Doc Holliday's Saloon - Not particularly suitable for kids. Not exactly a Tombstone restaurant in the traditional sense. It's mainly a bar. They have some simple food items: hot dogs, pizza, starter-type items, snacks, etc.  It's also a stop when all else is closed, they're open late. They open at 9 a.m.

Breakfast in Tombstone Suggestions

• The Longhorn - In the middle of town, Southeast corner of 5th and Allen Streets. They have all the typical breakfast menu items a Tombstone restaurant should have. Most visitors end up here. Generally good, but can be quirky. We've had breakfast here when family members come to town. Our son likes their breakfast. But Bill's pancakes seem to disintegrate on the fork! Hours: 8am to 9pm everyday. Actually open for every meal of the day, everyday of the week!

---

• Vogan's Alley Bistro - Newest Tombstone restaurant, plus newest breakfast choice. Limited menu options, but one reviewer said it was OK. Go for bacon/eggs, pancakes, French toast, coffee, juice. Allen St., just West of 5th. Also open for Lunch>

Thought we'd add this section even though they're not quite Tombstone restaurants! But it could be this is what you need or want!

• Miscellaneous Options - No - these aren't Tombstone restaurants. But you can always pick up coffee cakes or doughnuts, plus coffee, even maybe tea at local convenience stores. Check out their locations Here>
