On the way to The Boulders Resort Carefree AZ
The Discovery Lounge is one of several restaurants located in The Boulders Resort in Carefree Arizona. I found out about one special sandwich I had to try so we ventured out to Cave Creek today. The drive to the main building where the Discovery lounge is takes a few minute drive threw the breathtaking desert scenery and a lovey pond near the entrance.
We soon find the Discovery Lounge in the main building.
The Discovery lounge is a large very open room with a fireplace and floor to ceiling windows that show the breathtaking Boulders.
We looked at the menu and decided to split the Baja Fish Tacos and the signature sandwich named “The Bobby Slayer” Steak Torta. The Chef from the Boulders competed on a FoodNetwork TV Show and was victorious with “The Bobby Slayer” Steak Torta against celebrity Chef Bobby Flay so this was a must try sandwich!
“The Bobby Slayer”
“The Bobby Slayer” is very large in size and is filled with mouthwatering, melt in your mouth skirt steak that is a thunderstorm of flavors that lightening strike in your mouth, and then it only get better….with……Oaxacan Chiles, Crispy Chicken Skin, Avocado Creama and Cabbage makes the party complete. I very rarely will eat chicken skin but it was done in a way where I can eat it and added a delicious something different to this amazing sandwich. This sandwich isn’t for the faint of heart,children or first dates. This sandwich is powerfully flavorful, spicy but not too spicy, full of juice. It’s just FORKING Delicious! I just didn’t want this party to end. House made potato chips are included that are whisper thin, crisp and SEEM as if they are grease and calorie free.
Baja Fish Tacos
As for the Baja Fish Tacos………The fresh grilled lime was a nice touch and I loved that quality fish called Ling Cod was used in the dish but flavor wise these tacos were very one note. These tacos contained nicely grilled fish over plain cabbage with some Cotija Cheese sprinkled on. Room temperature flour tortillas held them together and a smokey spiced mayonnaise was served on the side but it wasn’t enough to give them a taco taste. Perhaps if the cabbage had a vinaigrette with an herb like cilantro? or maybe some sort of tomato or fruit salsa was included the taste factor would have been elevated.
Service was good and that ……….
“Bobby Flay Slayer” Sandwich was Forking Great!

You would travel travel across town for the atmosphere and The “Bobby Slayer” Sandwich. I don’t forking know about the rest at this time.
I do note this review is only based on one visit. The Bobby Slayer Skirt Steak Sandwich was FORKING Delicious. The menu is limited and I WARN YOU I don’t know if anything else on the menu comes close.
