Welcome to Fat Cactus At The Plaza

“ Our burgers were most excellent, very tasty. My calzone was huge, and loaded with goodies. Doug, the owner, stopped by our table to chat, he's in the right business. I'd eat here again, no doubt! ”

“ 5-Star Review for The Fat Cactus pizza and Arcade We stumbled upon The Fat Cactus Pizza while passing through town, and we’re so glad we did! It seemed like the only place open for a solid meal, and it absolutely delivered. While they offer a great variety of sandwiches and subs, we went with the pizza—and wow, it was outstanding! Cooked old world style on cornmeal, the crust had the perfect crunch and flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel right at home—even as out-of-towners. Multiple TVs around the room were showing various sports games, which added to the lively vibe. And for a bit of extra fun, they have some awesome retro games tucked around the edges of the room, including a slide disc bowl machine, pinball, and darts. If you’re in town and looking for a great place to eat and relax, we definitely recommend The Fat Cactus Grill. We’ll be back next time we’re in the area! ”

“ Food was amazing , staff was amazing and friendly. Restaurant was clean food was hot . Beer was served with a frosted mug. Thank you all and your staff for a great dinner for our group tonight 2/12/26 ”

“ First the staff were so welcoming and immediately got to us. After we received our drinks, our order was taken, and no more than 5 minutes later, we received our appetizer, the Ajo (Garlic) Knots. They were amazing, perfectly made, soft on the inside, and so flavorful throughout (the bowl is half empty because we couldnt wait lol). Then out 16' Margherita Pizza came and again perfectly made. Freshly cut basil was the first thing I smelled and then the marinara sauce which I swear tasted home made. The inside of the crust was so soft that I didn't have to force it down like other pizza places, I cleaned my plate of marinara and basil with it. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ”

“ I really enjoyed it! Kind of hard to see where it was in the plaza since I imagine they want to keep the historical look and not with signage all over the place. But once we found it, it was better than I expected. Got the usual bacon cheeseburger with two patties this time and garlic Ajo knots. Damn those were good! Soft and a lot of garlic flavor. I got ranch to dip them in! For the cheeseburger, the bacon was crisp and plentiful. And the fries were tasty too. The Diet Coke, however, wasn’t up to par and I sent that back. But it wasn’t enough to lose a star. Definitely stop by if you are in the area on the way to Rocky Point! Oh, forgot to mention, the owner was super nice and came by the table multiple times! Really invested in his business! ”

“ We ate here 2 nights in a row. First nite we had smash burgers and second night pizzas. Both were very good. They have a very nice selection of draft beers as well. ”

“ What a hidden gem! Rolled into Fat Cactus after a day of hiking in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and was thrilled to discover a dog friendly establishment. Our sweet and kind server fed our pooch enough dog treats that he was ready to stay and help in the kitchen. Delicious margarita pizza, cold craft beer, and delightful atmosphere will bring us back each time we’re in the area. The owner’s brother even came out to introduce himself. Amazing service! Didn’t leave until we finished every bite of a comped chocolate chip cookie ice cream dessert :) Photo is view across the plaza from a window table in the front. ”

“ EDIT: After leaving my previous review, the owner reached out and said they would love to make it right, so we went back and had an excellent pizza and experience! I can now say I would definitely go back. It's a great family business and I'm really glad our bad experience was just a one-off. I hate to leave less than stellar reviews, but we ate at their previous location last winter and the pizza was SO good. We were excited to come back. But this time we ordered a medium half meat lovers half margherita pizza, and the crust was soggy in the middle and charred on the edge. Like a black, burnt piece fell off onto the table. Plus, they gave us the cheapest, thinnest paper plates to eat on. The pizza about soaked through the plate. So disappointed. And the way they calculated the price, it was close to $30 for the pizza. The new location is a nice atmosphere and staff was very friendly, but the pizza was really not good. We had hyped it up to my sister in law and had to apologize to her ”
