The Great Escape Food & Spirits

Carlie G

Good pizza. Friendly atmosphere. Slightly expensive drinks but it is in the middle of nowhere. Ed is friendly and usually handles the bar by himself.

Good place to drink a cold beer and hot wings 🔥

Roman Paine

The Punisher

Tom Scott

Great dining experience on our vacation from Ohio!

David Partridge

Great place to stop for food and drinks when out playing in the desert or riding the back highways! on your motorcycle! A usual stop for me riding S2 or coming back from an Arizona trip. Cold beer, hot food, and great staff. A cool stop in the middle of nowhere!

Stumbled upon driving cross country. One of the best hamburgers I've ever had! Plus watched a great episode of Wagon Train (never even heard of the show) on the TV. Amazing memorable experience

Pizza was probably one of the most delicious pizza we had in awhile! Sweet welcoming barkeep lady! Good crowd, looks like locals hangout.

Wonderful place. I stopped in the summer during low season for a beer and some pizza. Had a wonderful time with the hosts, frank and debbie Lovely people. Great atmosphere, cold, beer, and the pizza was good.

This is an excellent pit stop if you're traveling from San Diego to Arizona

got a cheese & pepperoni pizza. Absolutely bangin. Fast too

I had the opportunity to pull over for the night as a semi driver and found this small joint. I ordered pizza and wings, and they were amazing. Advice for those that need to stop for the night or just rest for 30 minutes. Stop by!! Won't regret it.

Frank and Debbie's place is the best ! Found it when i pulled off the Interstate when my car overheated. A gem in the desert, Debbie is a former Army combat medic and makes a great pizza. Stop by with friends ! You'll love it.

Michele really made our evening as our bartender !!! And, Debbie made a fantastic pizza 🙂 Such a fun bar in Ocotillo with a perfect juke box... Very friendly. Don't miss it ! Jesse, Russ, and Ian from San Diego.... Thank you 💙💙💙 We'll be back with our friends.

Really good pizza . I had the half cheese and half ham, sausage, black olives and bell pepper pizza. Not too greasy but very tasty.

This is the perfect picture of an oasis in the middle of the desert. They got plenty of cold beers and almost every bottle of whiskey I know, they also serve food although I haven’t had the chance to try it.

Stopped in for just a drink after a long ride. $20 for a double neat. Expected a more generous pour for that price, but whatever. Place is decorated with a lot of military memorabilia - i didnt expect that. Bar tender didn't seem interested in talking about the place. Wanted to talk to a local about how he makes mcflurries and shakes at McDonald's. Got bored and left after I finished my drink of course.

I wouldn’t recommend stopping here if you’re just passing by. I would definitely choose the cafe down the street if they’re open. The lady bartender was NOT friendly or welcoming. I walked in and basically walked right back out.
