History

Established in 1975.

The Horny Toad is the original,oldest restaurant in Cave Creek. Little did the Price family (originally Glenn, Marian and Jeffrey) know when they purchased the Horny Toad restaurant in 1976, it would become a Cave Creek fixture, well-loved by locals and out-of-towners alike. It was the Arizona institution neighbors shared with visiting guests from "back east" or "the Midwest." Its popularity preceded it, and the Horny Toad became the oldest, original restaurant in Cave Creek. Over the years it has been the location for many "Old West" movies and photo shoots. It's even been a hangout for notables like radio personality Paul Harvey, running back Emmitt Smith, basketball great Michael Jordan, musician George Benson, NBA's one and only Sir Charles Barkley, news anchor Hugh Downs, the "Ultimate Warrior" from the WWF and beloved Dick Van Dyke, who filmed the New Dick Van Dyke Show in Carefree in the early 1970s. Silly name but the great food.
