Home Plate Restaurant
303 McKeown Avenue, Patagonia
Phone: 520-394-2344
Dining Room Hours: Monday - Sunday: 6:00am - 9:00pm

This comfortable dining room, located in the Stage Stop Hotel, is where the town meets for home cooking. With a well rounded menu and an open mesquite grill, consider ordering the succulent ribs or a burger the way burgers are meant to be: big and juicy. There is a great appetizer menu that includes jalapeno poppers and plenty of salad options for the lighter eater.

For the early riser, start the day with a hearty breakfast. Many omelette combinations are on the menu served up with homemade homefries.

The decor is classic cowboy with warm wood paneling and a handsome wagon now being used as the sald bar. The Home Plate Restaurant is a Patagonia institution and one that should not be missed.
