Blue Coyote Cafe sits inside Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, serving up a varied menu that spans American staples, some Asian-inspired dishes, and even sushi. This mix gives it a casual yet expansive feel, where you can grab everything from fajita nachos and shrimp tacos to eggs Benedict or kung pao chicken. The presence of both hearty breakfast options like country fried steak and pancake breakfasts, alongside dinner plates such as crab cakes and shrimp enchiladas, makes it a flexible spot for different meals throughout the day.

The atmosphere leans toward approachable comfort with clean, well-kept interiors and seating that extends outdoors — a nice nod to the Arizona climate. Guests frequently mention swift seating and generally attentive, friendly service that adapts well to particular requests, such as steak cooked to order or accommodating dietary preferences. On busy event nights at the casino, it can be a reliable spot to satisfy lingering hunger without a long wait.

Visitors who appreciate a blend of familiar American flavors garnished with some eclectic twists are likely to enjoy the menu variety here. It’s the kind of place that feels unpretentious yet competent across a broad spectrum of tastes, from classic breakfast fare to fish tacos or sushi rolls. Those stopping by after concerts or casino activities might find it a convenient and easygoing option to unwind with friends or family.

Drinks include a cocktail bar with an emphasis on approachable choices, and locals mention the ability to try regional beers, which complements the dining experience. The service often gets nods for being personable and attentive without hovering, making it comfortable whether you’re lounging over a morning meal or grabbing a casual dinner.

Overall, Blue Coyote Cafe works well for visitors needing a no-fuss spot that delivers on solid comfort food with enough variety to please groups with differing tastes. Midday and early evenings tend to be excellent times to visit for a relaxed pace and steady service. It’s not a place chasing culinary trends so much as offering a reliable, welcoming atmosphere right at the heart of the Talking Stick area.

I'm impressed with how good this was! I ate here 2 times in 2 days,and both times I was SHOCKED with how good it was! At night, we got some sushi and it was pretty good (maybe not the best, but still good). I tried the Sweet and Sour Pork and it was a new Favorite of mine! Plus, the staff was always so so friendly! Really great experience! Lots of choices!

We went for a concert (Tesla) and after having an amazing experience at a prior restaurant, which was about to close, we headed down stairs because we were still hungry. I’m very picky regarding my cook on a steak. Our server listened and was accommodating, I apologize for not remembering his name.

We had dinner and breakfast here. The food was good and very fresh. Easy to find and there has been no wait seating each time. Service ranges about 15-25 minutes but it is nice. Restraint is clean and most staff are very friendly.

The Blue Coyote Café at Talking Sticks Casino is a nice dining experience. We were sat quickly and had a nice outside table. The server was quick to come over with water and ask if we were having drinks. Drink menu in hand, she handed it over and let us decide. Since this is my first time in here and in AZ, I wanted to try some local beer. With the suggestion of our server, we ordered a Kilt Lifter Scottish Ale. At that time, we also ordered lunch. Drinks came out quickly and our meals shortly followed. I ordered the cheesesteak and was cautioned by our server that it had some spice to it. She wanted to make sure I knew so I was not surprised at first bite. It was a little spicy, but nothing I would have worried about, however, I appreciate her letting me know. Beer was good and the food tasty. The cheesesteak had a good flavor as well as the veggies and cheese on top. If I had to say one negative, I wish the cheesesteak would have been a little warmer, but it that is about it. The side of fries were warm and crispy. Overall, a nice first meal at the resort.

MADISON, CAMELIA AND LISA I have been to this restaurant for my sister Victoria’s birthday, with our brother Manuel; Madison gave us a supreme attention, she gathered a few of her coworkers and sang a happy birthday to my sister who turned 80. We all three had the Atlantic salmon and crab cakes. A few days ago, l brought my sister again, l had the Atlantic salmon with risotto and carrots, my sister enjoyed some nachos and a rib eye, Camelia was swift to assist us, and her service was superb. This morning l treated myself to a succulent breakfast with a picanha, l felt l was in heaven it was delicious, delicious, the meat perfectly cooked to my taste, its flavor was amazing no words to describe, my tummy is overjoyed and l told Elizabeth, Liz was marvelous. I think l may come back for another meal, before l return to California. PS: Came back 2/10/2025 for the picanha and was fortunate to be assisted by Madison again, her nice smile and great attitude.

if you get on the waitlist, make sure you go up there and check. They made a mistake and I was waiting over an hour and I went up there and he didn’t have me on the list. I’m headed in my review from two stars back to five came back in on 8/18/25 had Katrina or Karina as my server and the service was excellent Fast it’s probably one of the best breakfasts that I’ve eaten in the casino before everything was great. I mean the sauce, the eggs toast I’d give it 10 stars high-quality food and the price was reasonable compared to going to Vegas or something like that very very reasonable. So I guess sometimes people have a bad day or something goes wrong so that’s why I went back in here and gave it another shot and change my review from two stars to five will be back in again.

Shout Out to Madison our server. She was awesome! Friendly, smiling and great personality. Breakfast was great. Never had to ask for a refill on coffee, because the service was excellent. Thank you Madison! Dawn and Larry
