Restaurants in Verde Village

Verde Village isn’t a town of its own. It’s an unincorporated area south of Cottonwood, and when it comes to eating out that matters in one practical way. The restaurants are spread along East State Route 89A and the highway junctions instead of sitting together on a street you can walk. You drive to each one.

Hours are the useful part here. Among the Verde Village restaurants with hours on record, the most common opening time is 6 AM and the next is 7 AM. The most common closing time is 11 PM. The earliest opening we have on record is 5 AM. No other town in the valley keeps a daily window that wide. Work an early shift, or get home late? This strip is where somebody is still serving.

Nearly all of the ones we list with recorded hours are open Monday, and most are open Sunday, so the weekday and weekend patterns look about the same.

Old Town Cottonwood is only a few minutes north, and plenty of residents treat the two places as one set of choices. Verde Village for early, late, quick, and parking right out front. Old Town for a sit-down evening. About three quarters of the Verde Village restaurants we list have a website. For the rest, call before you drive out.

Food licensing and inspection is handled by Yavapai County Community Health Services under the 2017 FDA Food Code, same as Cottonwood and Camp Verde.

Burgers and other fast food are served at 2560 East Rio Mesa Trail in Cottonwood. The doors open at 6 a.m. and close at 11 p.m., and those same hours hold every day of the week, Monday through Sunday. There is a drive through for people who would rather stay in the car, and food can be ordered to take away. The phone number is (928) 634-5338. Early risers will find it open before most of the shops nearby. Holiday hours can differ from the regular schedule, so a quick call before a late night or early morning visit saves a wasted trip.

Burgers and other fast food are served at 1180 South Highway 260 in Cottonwood. Two sets of hours apply. The later closing runs from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., while the earlier one runs from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., so the counter and the drive up window do not always shut at the same time. Those hours are listed Monday through Saturday. Food can be ordered to take away. The phone number is (928) 639-1261. Sunday hours are not posted, so call before heading over at the end of the week. A quick call also settles which window is open late on any given night.

KFC

Restaurants

Fried chicken is the main thing on offer at 970 South Main in Cottonwood, and orders can be taken away. Opening is at 10 a.m. every day. Closing is at 10 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday, and an hour later, at 11 p.m., on Friday and Saturday. That makes the weekend the window for a late dinner. The phone number is (928) 634-8376. Placing a large order by phone ahead of time is easier than waiting at the counter, especially around the dinner hour. Holiday hours can differ from the posted week, so call first if you are driving in from out of town.

Subway is a fast food sandwich shop at 1100 AZ-260 #D-14 in Cottonwood. It makes sandwiches to order, and you can take your food to go. The shop is open from 08:00 to 22:00, which makes it an option for an early lunch or a late snack. It sits on AZ-260, handy for people driving through Cottonwood. Call (928) 634-5501 to check today's hours or to ask about a large order for a group. The store page on the Subway website lists the menu and may let you order ahead for pickup.

Restaurants

Tex mex fast food is served at 2160 East State Route 89A in Cottonwood, and it stays open later than most places in town. Two schedules are listed. One runs from 7 a.m. until 2 a.m. most nights and until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The other runs from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. That later window is usually the drive up lane rather than the dining room. Food can be ordered to take away. The phone number is (928) 634-2462. Call if you are counting on the late closing, since overnight hours are the first thing a restaurant trims when staffing is short.
