Lots of great places to eat and walk around. Love the ambience and people watching while eating dinner in the common areas.

Westgate is beautiful. It’s hit or miss if the fountains are working but when they’re on, it’s absolutely beautiful at night. They have some really good bars there. Drinks can be pretty pricey throughout the district, but the atmosphere makes up for it. There’s not a lot of restaurants in there, but the ones that are there are pretty good.

Great restaurants and atmosphere. Parking was plentyfull but can be difficult getting out after events at State Farm Stadium.

Nice place that is foodie galore. A huge handful of the restaurants were Mexican, but they also have Japanese and other flavors there too. There's something for everyone. They have a second floor area too with more fun things to do like a comedy club and places to eat. They have stairs, or accessible elevators or escalators you can take up and down. They also have a steakhouse, theater, and even a gaming arcade. Plenty of parking too. There's also a scenic water fountain.

A large entertainment center includes shopping mall and restaurants. It was hard to to find a parking spot

Wow Wow Wow! West gate Is Such A Great Place To Experience! The People Are All Friendly, The Atmosphere Is Electric and The Food Is Amazing! There’s So Much Entertainment To Enjoy Whether Solo or With Your Family. Have Fun, Be Safe and Be Blessed

Great place to come and chill and relax. Plenty of food places to try out. Our you can just come to watch a movie in imax. Try to avoid it if there is a football game going on (well unless you are going to attend the game of course) because they charge for parking and it's just a big mess for miles in every direction.

It's a very clean park, the city takes great care. Litter free with a multitude of trash cans and not cluttered with dog feces. The sidewalks are wide and have a great path to walk the perimeter of the grounds. Very well lit and has 2 bathrooms. There is a playground, sand volleyball and plenty of areas to grill.

Great place to visit in the heart off Glendale! Pack a picnic, take some pictures and stop in the library. Get out if the house and see something different for free! Especially as the weather cools down.

Large park, historical buildings and farm implements. Abundance of wild peacocks, many large palm trees. Great for spending a morning or afternoon strolling.

My favorite park since I was a kid! The park area is wonderful, there’s ramadas to rent and also tables that are uncovered to use as well throughout. The playground is beautiful and updated for bigger kids. Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses and Che out the historic homes. I believe they still offer tours. The peacocks are my favorite part!

Lovely grounds with history. Nice areas to walk, picnic, and kids to play. My grandkids love to watch the peacocks.

With the weather so nice rn stumbling upon this farm was the best morning ever. My furbaby and I had a beautiful walk and the people there enjoying the atmosphere were friendly as well.

Never knew you could be entertained so much while sitting in the library watching peacocks play and live!. It was a great opportunity to stare out the window watch people practice guitar and strangely have peacocks walk past them like they were old friends. If you need to study or concentrate but like to take frequent breaks with entertaining visuals this is the place to be.

Has it really been six years since my last hike here? Time flies. We took advantage of the lower temps this week before it heats up. I attempted the Arrowhead trail yet again but it only confirmed this is a killer on my knees. I made it about a mile before deciding to opt for another trail. I hiked down and crossed the steer and started at the Cholla Loop. From the intersection with the light it wraps the mountain and connects near the bridge that crosses over the road. Yes still rocky and lots on incline and switchbacks, but felt more doable to me. Length on Cholla is about a mile longer than Arrowhead if you complete the entire trail. Great views and the workout was awesome as well.

Beautiful place for special moments! I took my child there for their Homecoming pictures as well as graduation pictures. If your looking for a southern scene with a nice sunset/sunrise this place has plenty. I recommend early morning or afternoon for the best sky.

Great little urban patch of wilderness with some hiking trails, cookout spots, and bathrooms. Nice people, trails well maintained. Hot, bring lots of water. Loose rock as well so I'd recommend close towed shoes

Nice area for hikes with a variety of trails. Not busy during the week day. Great way to overlook the cities from the north

Pretty good Park 3 trails to choose based on your skill set. The West peak is a little Warden since the last time I was there and the trail has been widened toward the bottom. Lots of people

Always a great hike for me and my kiddos. We love the view 😍 easy hike not too comlicated.

Beautiful area with scenic hiking trails from short to longer options, easy to moderate levels. No restrooms by the W Pinnacle Peak Rd parking lont. There is a restroom at 59th ave entrance/parking lot. Make sure you're back to your car not too much later after the sunset, otherwise may get a ticket.

Me and my family came here on Christmas evening and it was very busy. There were vendors selling food, toys, and trinkets. But, everything that they were selling was overpriced. This place has changed a lot over the years. There was construction going on so the city didn’t put up all of the lights this year and some of the Christmas lights and decorations were not working properly. There were no police or law enforcement officers in the crowds or at Glendale glitters while me and my family were there. I don’t understand why? This place was very busy and other people were not respectful towards others. Glendale Glitters is overrated!

Its a really cool experience to go to, especially because it's free and it runs for awhile and you can vist anytime, not just on opening week. I have seen people become more rude over the years when we are walking around, but thats just how society is turning out 🙈 . I enjoy that you can walk several blocks away from the crowds and there's lights everywhere even on other streets ❤️😎 each year they have different colorful lighted statues but most of the same trees are lighted up . It runs for several weeks , so pick any evening that you're available and enjoy it by yourself or with your family 😎❤️

I enjoyed the lights just bring some lunch or snacks they do not have anymore lunch trucks but is still fun for children

First time ever going. What a great event. The balloons are amazing, and the lights as well. The shops and restaurants are all open. The food vendors had a great selection. Having graduated from Glendale High many years ago it is great to see such a great event.

A wonderful display of lights throughout town, with shops, vendors and food trucks. They also had carnival rides for kids and a beer and wine vendor for adults. There were tons of shops and restaurants with an additional festive fair. I had a wonderful time and the food was great, I'd definitely recommend visiting if you live in the area or visiting during operation. A great time for all.

Fantastic event with a cityscape lighting ceremony and tons of great high quality food and textile vendors. Every year the size of this event grows and grows. Lots of rides and bouncy houses for kids, I could go on. Be sure to mark you calendars, this is not to be missed. Weekend of Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

This was my first year visiting Glendale Glitters and it was awesome! So many beautiful lights, my favorites were the really tall palm trees. I have seen pics and heard that other years were a lot more festive than this year (thank you covid) but I still thoroughly enjoyed it! I am going to make this a yearly tradition and can't wait to see what 2021 brings! Happy holidays! 🎄 🎅 🍾 * SPECIAL THANKS and appreciation to the city, workers and others who are still putting their lives in danger so we all can have a somewhat normal life in this Pandemic ❤😷

Hadn't been there in about 12 years and was disappointed to find many of the antique shops gone replaced with pizza parlors, cheap junk shops or just boarded up. Not the charming place it used to be, doubt I will bother returning in the future.

My favorite new place is the blue corn in downtown Glendale. Glendale has the best shops and very easy to walk around. Love it

I absolutely LOVE downtown Glendale! Such a small town vibe in a huge city! Great holiday events! Awesome unique shops and restaurants. Great place to make some wonderful memories. (An a Pokémon Go players dream! )

Stores are open and so are restaurants. You have to wear a mask. Not a lot of traffic so you can socially distance but enough so it doesnt feel like a ghost town. Typical beautiful small town main street. Antiques, uniques, and boutiques to keep you busy shopping for an entire day if you choose or go several times and never really hit all the stores. Theres also a park, a library, an amphitheater and City Hall. Great free parking. And furry friends were welcome in the stores I went to. On the south side of Glendale around 58th St. Not sure if others are but I went to 4 or 5 stores with Cleopetra and had no issues.

Glendale glitters is gone. The replacement lights are pretty. But it is scaled down so much. Was disappointing to me. But still worth visiting

Great place to spend an evening window shopping.

There is free parking and library is adorable, quaint neighborhood where you can support local stores. Glendale looks like it USED to be a nice town but in reality it seems a bit run down. There are a couple food places that look nice to eat at, but not worth the trip unless you’re close by.

*cue the song Edelweiss from Sound of Music* From the accordion playing my favorite German song, to the amazing food - I felt like I was transported back to Germany. My husband got the special with the German sausage on a pretzel bun, jagerschnitzel, and a side of red cabbage. The homemade house mustard was delicious and a perfect addition to that scrumptious sausage. The schnitzel? Best I’ve ever had outside of a traditional German club. I ordered the sauerbraten. It came with red cabbage and spaetzle. The gravy and the sauerbraten - a Guy Fieri favorite - was without question worth our drive from north Phoenix. It tasted *almost* the same as my Omi’s. The spaetzle was quite dry and flavorless, but with all the gravy you couldn’t tell if you mixed the plate just right. To make a great German meal more perfect, the little man playing the accordion played some of my favorite German songs as I was nestled in a dining room that looked like a replica of the Black Forest. Our server, Tia, was the worse part of our meal. She was curt, bordering rude, when my husband asked a question because our menus were different. Scotty (the other server we wished we had) kept our waters full and our table attended to. Love this place, love the food - despite the server snafu we will definitely be back.

We came out to Haus Murphy's Octoberfest event. Our party of four had reservations inside the dining room, but the "Alley" was much more festive (at an additional charge). The food and service were excellent. We started with authentic Octoberfest and Dunkel beer in giant 32oz. steins. The shared pretzel came hot with spicy mustard and cheese sauce. Our German specialties for dinner included two Schnitzels and several Bratwurst. The side dishes were a wonderful addition to the meal; Applesauce, Fried Potatoes, warm Potato Salad, Spatzel noodles, Red Cabbage and loads of delicious Sauerkraut. Service was timed perfectly, just the right amount between courses because we wanted to socialize. Our server helped us with special requests and questions about the event menu. We added Apple Strudel, Chocolate Pie and German Chocolate Cake to finish the meal. And ended the night with Apfel Schnapps and dancing in the "Alley." A memorable evening. Thank you Haus Murphy's.

7/5/25: Short version - quaint restaurant, gorgeous decor, excellent food, fantastic service. Totally worth a revisit. Long version - this particular Saturday we opted for a late lunch/dearly dinner. Craving German food, my sister selected Haus. I had been there years earlier (before I started Yelping) & enjoyed it immensely so off we went. Service: far exceeded our expectations. Our server, Scottie, was wonderful. He was friendly, bantered with us the entire time, kept checking in to see how things were, if we needed anything. He was knowledgeable about the menu & we often sought his advice, going with his recommendations. Appetizers: 10 oz pretzel & stuffed mushrooms. The pretzel was gi-normous. Scottie offered to have more salt added to the pretzel (it was a bit bare). Now that's an eye for detail many people don't have. But it was salted enough for us, plus it was hot & the mustardy cheese that came with was perfect. The stuffed shrooms were so damn tasty. The plating was well done (almost too pretty to eat). I said almost. We dove right in. :-) They were chock full of meat (no skimping involved), the drizzles on the plate were mild & added some flair; and though I am not a fan of onions, I still enjoyed the dried/fried onions that came with the shrooms. Cocktails: Black Forest old fashioned, Schwimmbad. Smooth & sweet respectively. Decently priced. It was Shots Saturday, which meant 1/2 price shots (two shots for $8). First round was the Feiling (fig vodka) & Kirschwasser (tasted like 100 proof moonshine). We both agreed the Feiling was the best (slightly sweet, smooth like the bourbon), the Kirschwasser was too harsh for us. Our second round we enjoyed schnapps shots (say that fast five times): apfel & blackberry. Of those, the apfel was the best. The next Saturday we visit Haus, it will be rough trying to decide which shots to get, go with what we know or try something new. It's going to be a tough decision. Ha! Meals: Kassler brat combo (pork chop aka chunk of ham; choice of brat, I selected the big smokey; chose two gravy sides: paprika & rouladen; also a side of spätzle), plus the Eisbein (smoked pork shank). Both came with sauerkraut (duh) and the brat combo had whipped potatoes, the Eisbein came with German fried potatoes. DELICIOUS! All of it was DELICIOUS! Very large portions of everything, even the spätzle. Hell, I had delicious leftovers for lunch at work for the next three days, it was that much food ... of course we had to save room for dessert. Dessert: sauerkraut torte. We have Scottie to thank for this selection. Once again, he was spot on. We were a bit apprehensive about the sauerkraut, but he explained it was for moisture -- and yes, the torte was extremely moist (and no, it was not "sauer" but sweet). If you see my pic, the saltshaker was placed there to illustrate the size of the torte. Final answer? Haus Murphy's is a joy. Large menu, friendly & courteous staff willing to explain & offer recommendations, reasonably priced items, large portions. Will most definitely come back.

Haus Murphy’s is an excellent restaurant! I am German and I can truly say this restaurant is showing true german cuisine whilst offering delicious and authentic food with a great taste!😇 The Schnitzel was perfectly cooked, the Potatoes were great in taste and the Beer selection is outstanding! This place is a definitely a recommendation! 🇩🇪 🍻

This restaurant is charming with beautiful decor, amazing food, and great service, definitely worth going back to. One Saturday we went for a late lunch that doubled as an early dinner. Since my sister was craving German food we chose Haus a spot I’d enjoyed years ago.

I’m always happy to eat here. The food is fresh and delicious, and the beer is cold and plentiful—exactly what you want. I noticed the Biergarten is gone for now, but maybe it’s just a summer thing. Either way, it’s always a great experience, and it brings back great memories from my trip to Germany. Thanks, Haus Murphy👍

This place is always great. Had the jaegersnitzle, large pretzel and spatzle noodles ..yum! BIG beers were excellent!! Love the outdoor biergarten too!

What a beautiful day! My Mother-in-Law chose this perfect venue to hold my Baby Shower. The owner and support came in on their day off for this private event and they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make this such a special time! The ambiance was perfect, the tea and food that they brought out was so delicious (they even made me a special decaffeinated tea!)! This was one of the best days I've ever had! Thank you!

We had the absolute pleasure of visiting a charming tea house called The Spicery in Our 1895 Home, nestled in the heart of Glendale, Arizona. It was a beautiful experience that I just had to share! 🫖💐 From the moment we stepped on the porch, there was comforting aromas of homemade goods 😋. The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, with antique touches. I enjoyed a beautifully presented afternoon tea service with delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones (yes, with clotted cream & jam!), and a selection of desserts, which we were too full to eat 😔. My tea of choice, the Caramel Almond Fruit—so warming, perfect for fall and winter but can be enjoyed now!!! If you ever find yourself in the Glendale area, I highly recommend giving The Spicery a visit. It’s more than just a tea house—it’s an experience filled with charm, tradition, and history!

The Spicery in Our 1895 Home – A Hidden Gem in Historic Glendale A sweet client introduced me to The Spicery Tea Room, and I’ve been in love with it ever since. Tucked away in the heart of historic downtown Glendale, this charming spot is full of character and warmth. The building itself tells a story, and the kind, welcoming staff make every visit feel like a special occasion. The food is delightful—simple, fresh, and comforting—and the atmosphere is perfect for catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or just treating yourself to something special. Downtown Glendale adds to the magic. With its adorable shops and seasonal events, you can easily turn your visit into a mini adventure. I especially love the charm bracelet activity—each shop offers a little charm during events, and it’s such a fun and creative way to explore the area. If you’re looking for a cozy, nostalgic experience with great tea and heartfelt hospitality, The Spicery is an absolute must.

My husband and I had a great time today for the Royal tea brunch. Our waitress Lisa was so kind and thoughtful and I honestly cannot recommend this charming little spot more! Delicious food and tea!

Such a lovely experience! I had the adult tea with the three-course option and added the salad, which was absolutely delicious—fresh greens topped with strawberries, candied nuts, and a light strawberry vinaigrette. All of the small bites and treats were beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

Had a delicious lunch with friends. Quiche Lorraine with a generous side of fresh fruit and homemade roll. The rolls are like your gramma made! One friend had the minestrone soup and another had mixed salad with chicken. Both were good. They also serve dessert and you can go for tea which is very good too.

Excellent service, wonderfully decorated, nice tea options and perfect fresh pastries and small bites. Can't wait to go back!!

I’d been here years and years ago when I worked nearby and decided to head back over this weekend to see if it was still just as delicious. We arrived about 4pm and were pleased to be seated right away. The location is pretty small, but feels pretty open. Service is great and we didn’t have to ask for a thing our entire meal. We started with eggs rolls which I loved. They came with fresh veggies and such to wrap them with. We all were craving pho so we ordered two beef and shrimp and one with chicken. Everything came out pretty quick and the portions were huge. The broth was amazing and the fresh veggies added made it even better. We can’t wait to come again and try a few other dishes.

We can 8n for dinner.on a Sunday evening. We waited a few minutes to be seated. The waitress told us to go sit at table number 8 as she pointed to a table in another room. We looked a little confused because it was our first time in and am not familiar with the place. We went and found table number 8. After we ordered our food it came out promptly. We ordered an A1 egg rolls and P12 and P13 which is pho soup. The food was delicious. This was the best pho we have had in a while. The atmosphere wasnt that great due to a party of four who were on the you ger side and loud. There also isn't any ambience music to drown out other people talking. The servers did stop by and ask how the meal was going, that was nice. Once they brought the check they took a little too long to come pick up the card even thou I put my card out right away. Overall, the good is delicious and I recommend this place for pho.

Visited Little Saigon and had a mixed experience. We waited to be seated, and once we sat down there was another wait before anyone came by—looked like one very hard-working waitress trying to cover the whole restaurant, and I didn’t see many tables getting checked on. That said, when the food finally arrived it was absolutely worth the wait. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully cooked—fragrant herbs, rich, balanced flavors, and dishes that tasted homemade and comforting. The kitchen is clearly doing excellent work.I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu. I’m hoping they add another server during busy times, because the food deserves service that matches its quality. Overall: slower service due to understaffing, but fantastic, delicious food that made the experience worthwhile.

Our new favorite spot for delicious Vietnamese food !! Amazing service and Their broth is Pho-nomenal here… so clean and tasty! We also love the cozy nostalgic vibes..it’s so comforting !! Can’t wait to come back!!

I love Vietnamese food! The beef and brisket Pho was the best I’ve had. We also had the pork egg rolls and they too were delicious. Next time I want to try the spring rolls and the (Bun) cold noodle and lettuce bowl with a protein. The big surprise was the price - very reasonable! I will be back and if the location was closer to me I would be there weekly ❤️

Stopped there after a long weekend of drinking, it was delicious and cured my hangover 100% will go back again if im in the area. Good portions, reasonable price and great flavor

Was the food good? It sure was. The service was a different story. We were sat and it too them 15 min to get our drinks. Once our order was finally taken we waited about 40 min for our food to come out. So yes the food was really good and service was really slow. Go at your own discretion.

My partner surprised me with a cooking class for Mother’s Day, and it was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — cozy, charming. The food was beyond delicious, authentic, and clearly made with love. What really stood out was the owner’s kindness and passion — they made everyone feel welcome and at home. This experience was the perfect blend of fun, flavor, and heart. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

This restaurant is such a special experience. I did not feel like we were in Arizona at all while dining here. The food and service was excellent and they had dog friendly seating outside, which I very much appreciated. 10/10 would recommend.

Me and my wife come here for the great food! We also come here to relax while we eat, which anymore, can be difficult to do these days. No blaring music, just peaceful, a cozy place. The couple who own and do all the cooking and serving are amazing! So very nice and personable. Back to the food. The soups here are the best soups I have ever had, and I’m 61! The sweet basil tomato with rice, just amazing! The dill sour pickle soup……you must get a sample taste to believe a soup with this funny name, could be so D.. good! I had a bowl, a big bowl at that, my last visit, of the Tomato, my favorite, and pared it with my favorite Chicken Salad sandwich on walnut, apricot bread, this too is my favorite ever, so, good, I have now had it at least 6 times in a row over the last two years. My wife this last time had the stuffed peppers, which she loved, with a cup of Borscht soup, she loved, and so did I. We will be back soon!

Our first visit here and Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was great and they were so kind. We’ll definitely come back again. Can’t wait to try other dishes.

We shared the Polish sampler (3 potato cheese pierogi, smoked kielbasa, a cabbage roll, and a large scoop of hunter stew), limoncello cake and Makowiec (Poppy Seed Roll Cake) to go. Delicious. Came back later in the week and got sandwiches to go. They were big. We had them for two meals.

Ahhh everything was so darling and quaint. The food was incredible, the owners were very friendly and personable. They helped explain all the menu items and you can tell they’re passionate about their food. 10000/10 experience

Authentic! Delicious! A hidden gem! Probably the best I've ever had!

Visited here tonight with family in place of going to Pizzeria Bianco and it didn't disappoint! Their menu isn't huge but definitely quite a few options for pizza. Everything we had was great, and pretty sad they'll be closing in July.

I’ll have to say I’m VERY impressed. The pizza is delicious. Definitely my favorite in Arizona! The ambience is nice because it’s quiet and welcoming to a night out with family or friends. The waitress was nice. Definitely give La Piazza a try!!!

Love this place for the pizza and the staff. Pizza is top tier brick oven pizza. If you want a big floppy pie that stacks up to Domino's and Pizza Hut it's not for you. If you love a brick oven char with amazing sauce and toppings go here and leave happy. I saw a review complaining about the char!! Wth is that? Did you not know what a brick oven pizza looks like? Go to Domino's complainer. Besides the great food the staff is as friendly and inviting as they could possibly be. No brainer 5 stars all the way

From the fun "Pizza fit for a Queen" artwork on the way in, to the authentic Neapolitan domed oven and fun pics to look at (Guy Ramsey Fieri for one), you know you're going to be in for a unique experience. The server knew every detail for every pizza we were considering and was a pleasure to talk with--what fun that she was there when Guy Fieri visited and how he enjoyed sampling each dish as it left the kitchen. What a pizza! Perfect char and texture, and with a flavor of quality and freshness. You just can't get a pizza like this unless it's in one of the few certified VPN establishments proving they know the true Naples techniques. Dessert was a cannoli filled on the spot so no soggy tubes here, and this again in the real deal, not some pudding-like or gloppy slop trying to pass. Heard they will be closing after 18 years due to the rent increases which doom so many family businesses-- what a horror to this staple in the community. Visit before July 2025 and convince them to reopen somewhere. Please!

I love this place so much. It’s so cozy and welcoming plus the food is just amazing. I first came here with my tutor back in 2010 and I will never forget how amazing everything tasted, when I came back years later in 2018 it was just as I remembered and I’ve been coming ever since. This place has a special place in my heart because I was only a kid when I came here for the first time and now I bring my son here. Pizza 10/10 atmosphere 10/10, service 10/10. This is one of those hole in the wall places that you don’t know is there and once you do you realize how much you’ve been missing out! Highly recommend coming here and try the dolce diavolo it will not disappoint!

La Piazza is always a favorite for authentic Neapolitan pizza. I will miss the restaurant that I have been eating at for over 20 years. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing food and staff. Cozy location in the Glendale square. Sad to hear they will be closing shop in July. Definitely stop in if you can because this is real, affordable, quality Italian cuisine.
