The food was great! I got the BLT and it was prepared perfectly, and the sweet potato fries were not too much or too little greasy and was delicious. Service was very fine. Our family of four was served in at most 15 minutes. Ambiance brought you back in time! The works of art really gave it a classic bar kind-of look. This place gets a 5/5 stars.

We had an early dinner here while staying at the next door Shep's Miners Inn. Great food and wonderful service. Just a gem of a place off the beaten path. Well worth stopping by!

Great food, Friendly service [Chloride AZ] It was around 11:30a when we walked inside to grab a bite to eat... actually, it was already 12:30p (AZ is ahead by an hour from NV) well, it's no wonder my tummy is saying "feed me." Located in the historic town of Chloride AZ we walked inside a building that took us back in time, an authentic 1860's era Old West structure with a full bar onsite. Originally it used to be a stagecoach repair shop where stagecoaches can stop by for a quick repair but it has been renovated since while keeping the old charm and character. Loved the historic atmosphere. There were a few items we wanted to try but ended up ordering Fish & Chips and Grilled Cheese. The homemade fries tasted nice and crunchy. Since I ate most of the fries I was only able to eat one fish filet. Luckily, nothing is wasted... hubby was there to rescue the other two filets and the hush puppies too LoL! The filets were a good size, generous portion. I had a scoop of the chocolate chip ice cream. Great friendly customer service. Food is reasonably priced. Glad we stopped by. Review #3691

Always stop by to enjoy a burger and homemade fries whenever we're nearby. Service is very friendly too.

I had this place on my list of places o check out for a while so today was the day to travel to Chloride and try Yesterdays. I ordered the mushroom Swiss cheese burger and it met my expectations. The French fries on the side looked like they came from two separate batches, some were dry and others soggy. I i finished off lunch with a big scoop of ice cream and left the polite young lady taking my order a $10 tip. As the place is sorta out of the way from where I live this eatery won't be on my list of frequent places to visit, but I'll defiantly be back again.

Had a classic breakfast here. Awesome little vintage restaurant. The server was so sweet. Loved this little place.

I love homestyle feels with homestyle foods. I got the BLT & felt like I was in my own kitchen.

What is about Yesterdays I like?., I enjoy going back in time to when waitresses were smiling and friendly and the food was ok and if you wanted to change your order they still smile!

I had no idea there was anything even in the town of Chloride, AZ but it is actually a pretty cool place. There is a lot of yard art to be seen sat most homes. There is a place that does the classic gun fight in the street reenactments (more on that later). And there is an asuming restaurant to grab a good bite to eat. A small group of us stopped into Yesterday's Restaurant for lunch after a road/off road trip to see some petroglyphs and other sites in the southern nevada/northwest Arizona area. The worn wood floor. The visible wooden trusses in the roof. This place brings the old vibes. And a solid menu. We all got burgers. I ordered a mushroom burger. A respectible burger. Perhaps not the best mushroom burger I've had but a good size and good flavor. Not enough mushrooms for my liking. But they were there and they were good. The fries on the side were thicker cut and well seasoned. A bit on the salty side but they still went down pretty easily. Yesterday's serves dessert too. We did not get any dessert but we were offered ice cream or chocolate cake. They have an actual ice cream counter with more than just chocolate and vanilla. Maybe 10 flavors or so that I could see. This was a good lunch. And to think we almost didn't stop. Why? Because we heard gunshots that made us nervous. City slickers - am I right? We quickly realized it was just the gun fight show at the Cyanide Springs ghost town museum/park place. The gun fight would come into play a little later. Our waitress never brought the check and basically disappeared. For several minutes we were left just sitting at the table. Finally one of the other customers, a local, explained that the waitress was left in the kitchen to do the cooking while the cooks were outside trying to catch their dog which had run off down the street for fear of the gun fight. Small town problems. So we patiently waitied for our waitress to finish her double duty and come back up front and let us pay. With that, our lunch was done and it was back on the road on the way home.

A friend and I drove to Chloride, Arizona to see the Roy Purcell murals that were painted on a cliff side in 1966. Purcell returned in 2006 and repainted them. This was my 3rd visit to Chloride, considered a ghost town, althoiugh it really isn't. Mining and cattle raising are still evident throughout the large area albeit sparsely populated place. My last visit in 2018 was just to see the murals with friends and then back to Laughlin where the four of us were staying. On my first trip in 2008, I stopped at Yesterday's for breakfast after viewing the murals. Fast forward to 2021. A friend who had never heard of Chloride wanted to see what I had talked about a few times. We viewed the murals and then went to search for abandoned mines. Success on both pursuits as well as seeing 4 free range cattle. We drove to Yesterday's and my companion decided that we should stop there. She had been hesitant until she saw the amount of cars that were there. The place is officially Yesterday's Steakhouse and Shep's Miners Inn. The restaurant and inn were constructed in the mid to late 1800s of adobe from mud and sand from nearby washes. The walls are 12 inch thick blocks. When you enter, it's like stepping back in time. The interior has some murals and is very western rustic. Wood floors, wood tables and chairs, and two hanging chandeliers. There was one table that had about 16 people eating. I think they were with the motorcycles out front. The server had a lot to do. She was working the restaurant by herself. She brought us the iced teas we ordered. Large mugs filled with good tea. We each ordered one of the day's lunch specials, fish and chips. After serving the large group, our lunch came out. I'm sure it was frozen fish merely reheated. If I were reviewing this place for just the food, it would be 3 stars. The atmosphere, the service, and the entertainment at lunch easily kick it up to four. There was an older man who sang and played his homemade bass. The microphone was taped to a walking stick--most probably a dried agave shoot. He sang in a low voice so conversation was easy. He did a Kenny Rogers song and when we clapped, he did another one. Chloride is a great place to visit. Lots of history, lots of oddities in yards, and those wonderful murals. (See the Yelp entry for the Purcell murals in Chloride.) This makes a nice day trip from Las Vegas. Or, it's close to the road that goes to Grand Canyon West and the Skywalk there.
