Just found this page, That was my family who flooded the little place. Its nice to see this in print. I'm sending this page on to all the family. We had a great time there. Johnny Williams is my dad and he's 78 years old and can still belt out the tunes. Thanks for writing this' we all enjoyed reading it. Connie- Is follow up to post by phil3 ...
Idle Spurs is an oasis of local
custom, heartland hospitality and
great country cooking. We're from
New Jersey just outside of
Manhattan and flew to Phoenix for
a business conference. Took a
day off to relax with a rented SUV
fling through the desert (you
know, Meteor Crater, Petrified
Forrest, Painted Desert, Rainbow
forrest, Montezuma's Castle,
Sedona, all in one day, you get
the idea). At night, on the long
road back to Phoenix, we
stopped in the very small desert
town of Concho hoping to find
some place still open and
serving food. We stumbled upon
the quaintest little bar/restaurant
I've seen in many years of travel.
When we first got there it was
dark and empty except for the
elderly owners. The wife was
sitting at the empty bar playing
the tabletop one-arm bandit. The
hubby (about 80 y.o.) hobbled out
to ask what kind of steak we
wanted. We got the ribeye and
New York steaks with baked
potato and collard greens and
the food was cooked to
perfection. The medium rare
steaks were the best we ever
had. We asked the cook where
he got the steaks and he said
"Oh, I think we got those from
Jimmy, or was it Andy?". I guess
it was a local cattle rancher! Soon
after we arrived, about 20 people
flooded in and filled the place.
We were treated by a rare
appearance of the legendary
Johnny Williams who flew in from
CA to visit family (who comprised
most of the 20 guests!). He
played three unplugged solo
sets, and man, he gave Johnny
Cash a run for the money. Beer
was nice and cold, great hosts
(make sure you repeat your order
twice), terrific pool table...a REAL
TINY place, but man what charm.
Idle Spurs makes strangers in a
strange land feel like part of the
local inner family circle. Do not
miss this opportunity to put a
wonderful puncuate to your visit
to warm folks in northern Arizona! -- 6/21/2004 11:44:55 PM
