About Bent Prop Saloon & Cookery
On N Taylor St in Eloy, Bent Prop Saloon & Cookery is a bar and grill set in a wood-paneled space with skydiver team photos on the walls. The covered patio overlooks the grass airfield next door, giving diners a view of skydivers landing while they eat. The kitchen runs a 43-item menu of pub staples, including the Skydive Burrito, the Hardy Burrito, and pancakes with bacon and eggs. A full bar covers the drink side, and pool tables and darts fill out the room. Service is walk-in, with a private dining room available for groups and a quiz night on the schedule. The saloon opens Monday through Sunday, closed on Wednesdays.

Customer Review Summary
Watching skydivers drop into the field out front while eating is the recurring draw here, with several diners noting planes circling and jumpers landing right in view of the porch and bar seating. Close behind, the Philly cheese steak sandwich with onion rings and a burger cooked to order earn specific praise, alongside a full bar and cold beer that reviewers call good. Service draws mixed reactions: some describe bartenders as friendly and quick, while others report slow tickets, including one account of a five person group waiting over an hour with two later tables served ahead of them, and a separate reviewer describing one bartender as inattentive on repeat visits. Food quality also splits, with one reviewer warning against the steak and calling it tougher than jerky, while sticking to the fried menu. The wood paneled, dive bar atmosphere with skydiving photos on the walls gets called neat and functional rather than fancy.

“Went for the first time last night with a friend as we wanted to play pool and have some drinks. Place was very cool. We loved the service. Bartenders were a very nice lady and she was relieved by Danny. Both of them were most excellent and friendly. Also the entire vibe ess great and all the other patrons were very friendly. Two open pool tables and we played game after game, as well as darts. It was my type of place. Not pretentious at all. Safe place. Great place for someone solo or a group or a couple like I was with. We cannot wait to go back to enjoy the vibe again.”

“We came in for a late lunch and honestly everything was just spot on. Service was super friendly and quick, my burger was cooked exactly the way I like it and the fries were still hot and crispy. …”
- Judy Prescott
“Update: the last few times we have gone in the same bartender was there and she needs a lesson on friendliness. She spends most of her time talking to the men at the bar. She acts like she doing us a favor by taking our order. …”

“Stopped in for dinner while on the road. Craved something not through a drive through window. So after driving through fields and country roads, we had really hoped this place would be something. It was, just not something I'd do again. If you do come here, stick to something off the fried menu. And do not get a steak. Have eaten beef jerky that was more tender and moisture than what was served here.”
- Austin Unruh
“This place is the absolute BEST little hideaway bar and restaurant ever!!! The girls behind the bar are always amazing and so friendly 👏 👏 😊 …”
