    I’ve been coming to Vickie’s for years. It’s been about 8 years since I last made a visit. Valentines Day 2025 was my second visit in the last month. We will be back again on March first for another Bday celebration. I can’t think of a better place to dine in the desert. Our hostess Mercedes was amazing! She had great recommendations and was very friendly and attentive. We look forward to our next visit in a few weeks.

    WOW! Didn’t disappoint! The double cut pork chop was amazingly tender and delicious. The short ribs were also extremely flavorful. Dodi, of course, is the ultimate hostess with a delightful staff. They all made us feel quite special on our anniversary!
