Best Spots to Refuel After Hiking in the Superstitions

Hey everyone, I'm always on the hunt for great food stops near trailheads, and I've got a few faves after hiking in the Superstition Mountains. If you're heading out to Sycamore Creek or Flatiron, try grabbing lunch at the Lost Dutchman General Store in Apache Junction - their burgers are solid and they have a decent selection of craft beers. Has anyone else found any hidden gems around this area?

The burgers there are good! But after hiking, that's a bit heavy for me. I'm looking for something refreshing. Smoothie King right off the 60 is a good stop if you're headed back into town after those hikes.
