About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Springerville, AZ, Safire Restaurant & Lounge offers a truly memorable dining experience that effortlessly blends American classics with vibrant Mexican flavors. Whether you're stopping by for a cozy breakfast, a hearty dinner, or a relaxed evening at the lounge, Safire welcomes you with a warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service that makes every visit feel special.

The menu at Safire is a delightful tribute to comfort food, featuring standout dishes that guests rave about time and again. Imagine sinking your teeth into their renowned Fish and Chips, perfectly crispy with tender flakes inside, or savoring the robust flavors of the Chicken Fajita Salad that bursts with freshness and spice. Breakfast lovers are particularly spoiled here, with comforting options like the Smothered Breakfast Burrito—a warm flour tortilla cradling sausage, eggs, green chili, and melted cheddar, all smothered in rich green chili and cheese. Or try the Farmhouse Breakfast, where hearty bacon, fluffy eggs, and golden hash browns are served alongside classic biscuits and gravy, evoking nostalgic mornings.

For those seeking a bit of indulgence, the Steak Dinner and NY Steak and Enchiladas offer perfectly cooked meats that have garnered praise from patrons who appreciate quality and care in every bite. The steak, when ordered medium rare, comes out juicy and tender, a testament to the kitchen’s mastery. And if you’re in the mood for something unique, the San Juan Style Taco presents a different take on traditional fare, even if some find it a touch plain without sauce—it’s an invitation to customize and savor.

Safire’s lounge adds another layer of enjoyment to the experience, featuring a small, well-curated bar with a big TV—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Customers like Reuben Reyes have shared wonderful memories here, noting not just the quality of the food and service but also the fascinating history of the place—where legends like John Wayne once dined quietly.

Customer testimonials speak volumes about Safire’s authenticity and charm. Sooraj Kumar admired the friendly staff who took care to split his Shrimp Plate for easy sharing, while Scott Gliem, a self-proclaimed chicken fried steak connoisseur, boldly declared Safire’s version to be the best in Springerville, a real testament to their culinary prowess. Michael Sitler’s delight with the perfectly cooked steak and enchiladas, alongside Shells D’s praise for the varied and delicious menu options, all highlight why Safire remains a beloved local gem.

    This is a really lovely place. This was my first time here and the food was great. The place was neat and the staff was really friendly. The staff were courteous to split the Shrimp Plate for me and my wife in separate plates. The San Juan style Taco (fried tacoty with beef patty and veggies inside) was kind of plain without a sauce. Otherwise, the Fish and Chips and the Chicken Fajita were also nice. I felt that the portion had good enough quantity with a reasonable price. Plus, in this current situation, they even check your temperature first (which is good) and maintain social distancing in the dine-in table arrangement. Overall, I would say it's a must try.

    I'm am a self proclaimed chicken fried steak expert. Satire takes the cake over Trailriders for best CFS in Springerville. Disclaimer, I have not tried XA yet.

    Loved the Safire Restaurant & Lounge! I went with the NY Steak and Enchiladas, ask for the steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection! Great meal, our server was awesome. We will definitely be back! Thank you

    A variety of meals from Mexican food to American burgers. Everyone got exactly what they wanted & each plate was delicious. Also has ala carte options if you're not so hungry. Would recommend.

    Nice restaurant with a variety of different dishes. They also have a small bar with a big tv. Service here was good and the food was also good. It was not till after we left the restaurant we learned that John Wayne was a regular at this restaurant. He ordered breakfast in the booth next to where we sat.. and we didn’t even know it. Either way good food and this restaurant has an even greater history.
