As you are driving on Highway 70 and if you were to sneeze you would pass up and miss Fort Thomas & that would be a tragedy because there's a great little restaurant and store named Megs. As you look at it on the outside you do not think a lot about it because it Blends in with the surroundings but once you go inside Meg's you will truly be impressed it is like you go into another world it is beautiful inside and the food is outstanding. I was amazed at how many different things that caught my attention and I wound up spending an extra 20 minutes after eating looking at all the cool decor inside of Meg's I would definitely recommend this 110% to everybody traveling through going to Safford or globe

*Updated review*
We were moving my daughter home from EAC, and we HAD to stop here.
This cafe is nothing you would expect to see and taste on a lonely road in rural Arizona. The inside decor is cozy and clean, and celebrates the local heritage and it's past. The food is something I would expect only to find in a gourmet kitchen (and for at least twice the price).
I knew the baked goods are amazing, but I'd never tried anything from the cafe. Just as crazy good! I had the BLT. It's seriously the best one I've ever had. In addition, the fries were perfect and the fry bread was just right.
I made the "mistake" of going to the bakery counter alone after lunch. I came back with a bag full of goodies. The cinnamon roll was lights out. Moist, gooey, and smothered in that famous frosting. I also loved the hot chocolate cupcake and the gingerbread (we came just before Christmas).
Meg's Place is a national treasure and a must-do for every serious foodie road warrior. I will find a reason to come back.
*Jan'22*
We got the lemon and the Apple cider cupcakes. The cake is moist and has a subtle flavor. The magic is in the cream cheese frosting. I'd never heard of this PLACE before. But now I wonder why everyone hasn't heard of it. It puts Fort Thomas on the map.

Well worth the short drive. Food is always fresh and hot, good portion sizes, fries are the best around. Apache burger and diamond burgers so good. Wife gets the burro says it delicious as well.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE GILA VALLEY!!!
My daughter and I were on a daughter and mom date day and came to Meg's to eat lunch!!!
We had seen the posts about their gluten-free options and decided to try it out!
OH MY GOODNESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This mommy heart is overflowing with appreciation and gratefulness!! (I am tearing up writing this) My daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease a few years ago and it's been really hard for us to do social engagements in the area especially with food.
We walked in and got to talk to Chef Kristen immediately who greeted us at the door!! I let her know that we needed to know about the gluten-free options and ask how things were prepared!
She immediately jumped into action with a smile on her face and told us how she could accommodate our needs ❤️❤️❤️
Miss Jamie was the one who took our order and helped my daughter and encouraged her as she ordered her own food and let her know that she needed it to be gluten-free ❤️ My daughter is 8 years old and we are trying to teach her how to be more confident in her daily activities especially when ordering food because this is not something that we've been able to do for a long time!
My daughter was ecstatic! She could have a cheeseburger and enjoy it!! I was ecstatic as well I ordered a cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun!
It was so nice to sit at the window and to watch the passerbys and enjoy a meal together in our amazing Gila Valley!!
Thank you Miss Meg, Chef Kristin and Miss Jamie for a wonderful experience!!! definitely the best hamburger we have had!! We will be back again soon ❤️❤️❤️

All travelers need to stop here for at least a brownie! Did you know all their brownies are corners? We also got a sugar cookie....I mean the perfect soft sugar cookie. And I heard someone say the Cinnamon Rolls are sweet and the Peach punch is excellent. They have a small boutique with cute stuff. The staff is so friendly. Thank you.
