We love to take visitors to Prescott out for a scenic drive to the Skull Valley Station. Drinks, ice cream, hot dogs. Vance is super friendly and there is plenty of shaded seating.

Finally the Skull Valley Station rises again....a great stop on your Arizona back-road travels. The owner is super-friendly and they have just begun deciding what foods to carry. This is not a bakery or Starbucks substitute - it's trying to figure out what it is! Their Skull Valley brand clothing line is the winner and the outdoor, covered garage picnic tables look ready for warm weather action.

Had the best dang cookie ever. Tasted exactly like crumb top coffee cake. There isn't a lot of food but coffee, drinks and lots of cool swag. Just a neat spot!

Nice little pitstop for all passing thru or even for the locals. Nice historic spot, used to be gas station with vehicles services. Now a place for hotdogs, chilidogs, soft serve ice cream(vanilla, chocolate, swirl), cold drinks(soda, tea, etc) trinkets, souvenirs, shirts, hats & more. I can tell ya, I never had a hotdog bun quite like this. Fresh & warm. I'll definitely be back for that bun. Soft serve ice cream that just takes ya back, back to good ol days. This is one of those places many people miss as they are passing thru, definitely a place to stop, take a lil break, grab a bite, you'll love the bun. The staff was just great. Answered all my questions as I'm a close neighbor living not too far from here. Seating is great. Inside and outside. They have a neat seating area inside what used to be the garage. (2) Bathrooms one inside and one outside in the old garaged spaced area. Very cool decor and setup. Loved the vibe. Definitely be back.

Stopped in on our way to hike the Granite Mountain Hotshot Memorial Trail and we’re so glad we did. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were both great, fresh, flavorful, and just what we needed to fuel up. I also grabbed a bandana that came in handy on the trail. Cozy little spot with friendly service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re passing through.
