The Raven Cafe Reviews

Fast service, friendly staff, love the ambiance and artwork in the space. I also appreciate that gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian items are clearly labeled on the menu. I know it's hard to mess up nachos, but these were really tasty.

Stopped into the Raven Cafe in search of a small bite and nice space to kick my feet up... The indoor space of the restaurant was welcoming and full of character. I really enjoyed the duck wings and mahi mahi tacos I ordered and the service was quick and friendly too! Definitely a pretty cool place to catch a small bite or quick lunch.

The place was very crowded for Monday trivia; hence, and Jack was very overwhelmed as he took orders at the only cash register. I waited for my dinner date as I shared a table in the front window. Much to my sadness she did no show up. The guys left and I went to the only seat available at the bar next to the cash register. Busy busy place. I was patient while Jack assisted by Bobby the floor manager took orders for those of us seated at the long bar. I would summarize my interactions as banter. Yet, Jack's lack of hospitality was dismissive and eventually and an uncalled for rude. (Or maybe characterized as no sense of humor
When after a number of attempts for him to give me the correct pour his frustration in general over boiled. He grabbed my 2nd drink said that he was cutting me off and he was "86" ing me and to leave The Raven. WOW that was an intensive response towards a 70 year old woman/birthday girl that so pushed all of his buttons. Who knew?????
I ask to speak to Bobby so Jack ran to find him. Bobby came from behind the bar to tell me that I could not yell at his help and I would have leave as he always supports his employees. Alrighty then. Hence, the one star review and a reminder not to go on Monday night if you are not going to play trivia
To Jack, I apologize that you had no love for a little old lady. My friend's car and phone both broke down so when we do celebrate my birthday, we will NOT go on Monday night. In the day when they first opened The Raven was where I bought beer to bring to my SIL in Salt Lake City.

Support local Prescott eats! Great food, customer service and live music. Don t wait, just go!

Awesome. Friendly. Lively. Great food. Creative and clever everything.

Great food and awesome rooftop, but too expensive for what you get.

Great live music, variety of events throughout the week. Food drink selection!

I love coming here for the nachos. A little pricy but worth it. They always have something going on here like musicians and other things. The set up is very nice, they even have a top half to hang out upstairs and it's outside. You can come here for many reasons either for alcohol, music, food or a nice evening on the balcony!

I love sitting up on the rooftop patio at the Raven, its super beautiful and spacious, I would highly recommend finding a seat up there especially during pandemic times. Their beer and wine selection is good, I always forget that they don't serve cocktails though so keep that in mind when you go!

Great food, not your normal meal choices which is a nice change.

Food was great and a good value safe distancing sitting outside

A very pleasant dining establishment and watering hole that takes full advantage of the eccentricities of one of our many historic downtown buildings. Staff is very friendly and eager to please, though at times very busy, so a little patience is in order when ordering, which is done at a service counter.

Great place, good food, coffee, beer, friendly staff, and you are always bound to meet some interesting people there. Also a great place to watch cult classics, play trivia in teams, or just chill in a great atmosphere and focus. Family friendly, vegetarian options, and organic items, this is a great Cafe, highly recommend.

i tried the chorizo breakfast burrito a couple days ago, while my friends ordered the gluten free pancakes. we all think this place is a major hit, the s mores mocha is amazing. the potato medley is scrumptious and the berry compote with the pancakes is to die for. i am now back trying the brunch burrito on mother s day, they are slamming out orders like pros and i cannot wait for the breakfast burrito to come!

The food here was nothing short of amazing! Everything that we got was perfect, the pancakes were some of the most fluffy I ve ever eaten! Yum Yum Yum!!

Great place. Large selection of draft beer and great food. Easy for handicap to access.

Came here because we are vegetarians but didn't actually eat because we only found three vegetarian items on the menu that weren't salads. They were a veggieburger, a veggie wrap, and a veggie melt. Was expecting more.

The best, most friendly staff. I love everything about this place. The onion rings are amazing!!!

Fun atmosphere and a few vegan options on the menu. In a historic building but felt clean. Servers were pleasant and helpful.

Menu is very limited. They put cinnamon in their coke - yuck! Atmosphere is their only redeeming quality.

Incredible place love the atmosphere, beer selection is great. A little on the expensive side for me, other than that no complaints!

We sit outside and enjoy the live music after my NA meeting and smoke and my sponsors and some of the fellas and sometimes ladies join us on their porch and the staff never give us a hard time and the music is always great. I love the place and they always allow my sponsors to bring along his dog.

Good food, good vibe. They have a great beer selection and a roof top patio. Live music, mostly starts at 7pm select nights. Breakfast is pretty good too. WiFi for working and sipping coffee. Lots of options to cater to lots of occasions. Definitely a spot to hit in downtown Prescott. Downside, they close early on Sunday. It's been two different times we've tried eating dinner there on a Sunday night and forget they are closed until we show up.

The employees need to address customers questions about food! Asked about some food items because we are vegan and Jack seemed to bothered about our concerns! Employees need to smile more! That s why we did not eat here.

This is an odd place in that the quality of the ingredients is outstanding, but they seem to hire only Prescott College kids, so the food is cooked POORLY and the service is mediocre. I'd be more inclined to eat here again if they hired real chefs/cooks and encouraged good waiting practices from their staff. Until then, there's better food and service elsewhere in town.

Prescott vegan here. Life can be difficult for vegans food-wise in Prescott, so I m very thankful for this restaurant and their plethora of delicious vegan options. I love the vibe here, the bartenders/waiters have always been nice and there seems to be little turnover in staff which says a lot about management in my opinion. The food is usually out really quickly. They have live music often too! We just love this place.

I love The Raven Cafe. Great breakfast sandwich with black beans or fruit optional side. Great morning music mix ti get you started. On a cute shopping street, with a view of pine trees at the end of the street. Try it!

Great good selection. Everything is very fresh and tasty!

Nice place. Overall pretty good. Would not rate great. Service was Ok.

Very cute cafe serving a full breakfast menu and tasty coffees. Stopped by this place with a friend while traveling and it was by far our best breakfast from the trip. The food was delicious, the lighting fixtures were unique and I loved the overall decor. The server was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Prescott!

Burger and beer with the wife at approximately 4:00, very few customers. Ordering at the bar was unusual but not bad until the waitress (?) overfilled the beer glass and haphazardly cleaned it with a significant foam head. Oh well. Ordered the Raven Burger for $12.50 and fries which is a bit pricey. Burger came, no mayonnaise, no can I get you something else from the server , just here it is. I finally went up to one of the five behind the bar chatting away and asked can I get some mayonnaise and the fries please. I waited and waited as the fries were placed up in the window of the kitchen in plain view as the burger was getting cold as the servers were busy in conversation. I went over and asked someone in the kitchen, can I take these and my mayonnaise so I can eat my cold burger ?

In conclusion, deplorable service, (if any). Burger was pink and raw for a medium request (hope I don t get sick). Judging from the reviews of 4.1, I am the oddity but, I believe this was one of the worst places I've been in decades. The appearance and attitude of the "servers" should have been a warning sign to heed. Good luck if you try this place.

Casual restaurants with a relaxed, cool atmosphere. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the live music as well.

I only had a drink here so I cannot speak for the entire Cafe.

The drinks were good. The place is lively and happening. They have out door dinning and dine in available during the Covid 19 pandemic. Go check it out and let me know what you think.

Mayan Chocolate Crepe is amazing!!!! Friendly staff and patio is a great spot to hang out on Sunday afternoon!

Ok food nothing special it's mainly a bar, food is an afterthought.

Better options on the menu than a few years ago. More salads. Looking for organic and not seeing mention of it. Would like more info about that. Food was yummy today, Mango Prosciutto salad!

Tiana was very friendly helpful! The cafe is very nice and has quality foods.

Looking forward to returning. All the employees are great!

The Raven Cafe' has always been a Great Restaurant when roaming downtown Prescott AZ. and Music Venue especially for local talent.

Raven is one of those places you'll want to visit after a long day of work or a weekend with friends. While I can't speak on all their menu items, I can speak on the ones that are or can be gluten free.

Their grilled sandwhiches are delicious even on gluten free bread. The street tacos are hard to beat. The gluten free pancakes with granola and rhubarb topping are pretty good, although I wish they provided patrons with more of the rhubarb topping. Overall, I wish they offered more gluten free breakfast items like gluten free french toast. Some of their menu items sound delicious, though I'd never know since I can't eat them.

More than anything, though, it is the sweet potato fries (not confirmed to be gluten free) and their special sauce that keep me coming back. Order a side of sweet potato fries. You won't be disappointed.

Good food, but a bit overpriced for the amount you get. My husband and I can usually share a meal, but not here. Very nice patio seating upstairs, though!

Great food, atmosphere, everything. The Raven Cafe is my go to place to eat in Prescott!

I can t recall ever eating in a sit down restaurant (not fast food) where they bring the check before the food arrives. A main ingredient of the item I ordered was stale, nacho chips. When I brought this the their attention, I was told they are made fresh daily. Guess I don t know what stale tastes like. I do know where not to eat again. So many great restaurants in Prescott- don t waste your time or money on Raven Cafe.

Great bar with live entertainment on certain nights. Really enjoyed it. Drinks were good. Patio upstairs under the stars is great. It gets really packed but so much fun!!

The Raven has returned to a level of competition. A quality happy hour makes a big difference.

Great spot!!! Breakfast is stellar: Pancakes were on point, potatoes are always well done and the selection of hot sauce is dialed in (and local!). Happy hour is perfect: come on a Thursday for a $3 dollar beer from an incredible selection. Perched up on the patio and life couldn t be better in Prescott!

Very popular restaurant/bar. Nice terrace at the top and great food/beer selection. If you are looking for something trendy check this place out

Hands down the best food in the Prescott area by far.

Love The Raven. Awesome patio, friendly staff and great beer selection. My favs on the menu are the lemon chicken pita and the nachos!

another place that drank the koolaid.. wear a mask to come in and then remove the mask to eat. seriously... oh yeah their food was so so. can't even remember what I ate.

Seat on the roof top, nice atmosphere. Fish tacos are great.

I m checking this place because it was mentioned under a picture at a Forbes post. Next time I go to Arizona, I m definitely visiting this cafe.

This is such a cool, funky place. Now disclaimer, it's been a while since I've been but the last time was for a roof top lunch and there was live music at the time. My meal was memorable and the place is fun.

The food was great (the vegan nachos were especially superb), and our waiter was very attentive, but as we were leaving we noticed that the kitchen staff had no masks on and there was zero social distancing between seated tables.

Great food and drinks. Have loved everything I've tried there. Fun events during the evenings and games to play.

Love it!!! Lots of regular customers for lots of reasons. Food ingredients are obviously superior quality. Atmosphere is unique and comfortable. There is much to enjoy at this establishment.

We stumbled upon this place while driving back from Sedona last month. Great vibe in downtown Prescott with unique/tasty food, good service and very good craft beer selection. They do have outdoor dining area if you want some extra space but the indoor space is pretty cool.

Very charming place. Good organic food. Had breakfast, it was very good.

Seriously weird decor - what s with the fabric draped all around? But nice staff, good coffee, and the best cookies ever. 4 stars cause it s quite expensive.

This is the spot to be if you like good food, drinks and awesome people!

Best place in town! The Ty's salad is delicious. Should try. Excellent food and cheap, good music, definitely recommend it!

Great staff, great food, and a very unique environment. Definitely a place to checkout if you're passing through the area.

Only stopped in for one beer on the rooftop but it was good and view was nice.

Such a great place! The raven burger is a must get.

Surprisingly great beer selection here. Beautiful interiors and a comfortable atmosphere.

A word of caution. We stopped in Prescott to visit with friends. We ended up eating lunch at Raven Cafe. It started out with a great atmosphere. Neat decor, along with notes about the local sourcing of their food (things my wife and I love). Another thing that I liked about this place was gluten free options (another thing my wife and I love). After our order though things seemed to go bad. Over half and hour later no food, when it did arrive one order was not correct, even according to the bill. My BBQ sandwich (on gluten-free bread) tasted like Ketchup (I know that BBQ can be ketchup based but it shouldn't taste like it). Once the order was corrected it wasn't cooked correctly (slightly overcooked). Further the fries were cold on my bbq meal. We don't make it to Prescott often, but this is one place that I doubt I'll ever go to again.

Nice menu, food was delicious. Beautiful roof top space. All that and live music in the evenings!
