About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Prescott, Arizona, the Palace Restaurant & Saloon is a remarkable fusion of rich American culinary tradition and authentic Old West charm. More than just a restaurant, this iconic establishment exudes history at every turn—once frequented by legendary figures like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday—and now invites guests to step back into a bygone era with warm, welcoming saloon doors and rustic, period-inspired decor.

At Palace Restaurant & Saloon, the menu is a celebration of classic American fare elevated by thoughtful, flavorful twists that cater to a wide range of tastes. Start your culinary journey with comforting staples like the Palace Corn Chowder—a creamy, satisfying soup with the perfect hint of sweetness—or indulge in the savory depth of the Green Chile Chicken & Cheddar Soup, which boasts the bold southwestern flair you’d expect from Arizona’s local cuisine.

For heartier fare, the Stampede Steak Bites offer tender, juicy morsels of perfectly seasoned beef, while the Palace Pulled Pork Sliders deliver a smoky, tangy bite that's as rich in flavor as it is in texture. Adventurous diners shouldn’t miss the Manhattan with Rye Whiskey, an expertly crafted cocktail that perfectly complements the robust flavors of the menu.

For burger enthusiasts, the Virgil’s Vegan Burger is a standout, proving that plant-based dining can be both satisfying and flavorful. Meanwhile, meat lovers are treated to options like the Beast Burger, a powerhouse blend of Bison, Wagyu Beef, New Zealand Elk, and Wild Boar, stacked with grilled onions and mushrooms, and complemented by fresh tomato and crisp lettuce on the side. Adding bacon elevates the experience, layering smoky richness atop this robust burger creation.

The Whiskey Row Street Tacos are not only a nod to local culture but also a culinary highlight, praised for their generous portions and deliciously crafted fillings such as fish and brisket. These tacos pair beautifully with a Palace Cooler or one of their many signature cocktails, bringing together vibrant flavors in a lively, convivial setting.

Guests consistently rave about the warm, attentive service and immersive ambiance. As one satisfied diner shared, the food and drinks are “delicious” and the atmosphere feels like stepping back into the 1800s—a sentiment echoed by many who appreciate the genuine Old West experience combined with great food.

Whether you’re joining for Taco Tuesday special deals or settling in for a memorable dinner with family or friends, Palace Restaurant & Saloon offers more than just a meal—it offers a rich slice of history paired with contemporary Americana cuisine that delights all the senses.

Make sure to reserve a seat and prepare for a dining experience where every bite tells a story, from the handcrafted sandwiches to the house specialties like the Country Fried Steak and the tender Prescott Prime Rib. The Palace isn’t just a destination; it’s a journey into the heart of Prescott’s heritage and flavor.

    Stopped in for Taco Tuesday, $3 tacos and margaritas! Food and drinks were delicious. Great Old West atmosphere; like stepping back into the 1800s.

    It's a restaurant but it is almost a museum as well. I've been before but it's always a fun place to grab a bite. I went for the street tacos (fish and brisket) as I wasn't too hungry, but I did get the Palace Cooler and that was tasty. The fish tacos had a wonderful sauce and the brisket was very tasty (and generous amount of meat). He went for the Beast Campfire style, recommend by the waitress. There was nothing left so it was a hit.

    We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant/bar in Prescott. We stop there for a late lunch and the place was relatively busy. We had very good food and great service to boot. We tried their steak, burgers and a couple of appetizers. The shredded beef tacos were really good. Our server was extremely helpful and attentive. But I guess the main draw to this location must be the fact it’s well over 100 years old. The restaurant. Specially the bar area has its old saloon charm and it is very inviting. I highly recommend a visit to this place next time you visit Prescott.

    We were in Prescott, AZ and found ourselves on Whiskey Row in the town area of Prescott. An old saloon, Palace was once frequented by Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and others. Palace was named one of the 10 best historic bars in America. Walking inside, you pass through saloon doors into the saloon bar area. There is also a dining room beyond the saloon area. There are stairs leading up to an area where the brothel would have been. At the top of the steps was a "lady of the night" to greet you, lol. The food and service was great and the staff was knowledgeable about the history of the saloon. If you ever make it to Prescott, AZ the Palace would be a great stop to make.

    We visited with a large party and made a reservation, but arrived early. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The servers were dressed in themed outfits and the food came quickly. Christine was our server and she did a phenomenal job of taking care of the kids. The restaurant is on the Main Street across from the courthouse, but there was parking.
