I really enjoyed going here because I really enjoy malls. I know malls aren't exactly going to be something that's going to be around for forever but the fact that there are still some malls and other parts of the country that are doing wonderfully it's a bit refreshing. I will definitely go back again and enjoy stuff from there.

The mall is huge! Lots of stores to shop at, and a moderate amount of eating options. Associates around the mall look like they are afraid of people. Very scenic mall, close to other nice restaurants and social outings.

Has so many stores to choose from. Even has arcade/bowling in the mall. Nice and clean. Wasn’t too crowded when I went on a Friday.

Went to Build a Bear, the Apple store, and some others before landing in Scheels! It was a great few hours of gentle cardio & retail therapy for Sunday Funday!

Chandler Fashion Center is a decent mall with a good mix of stores and restaurants, but it definitely feels like it’s seen busier, more vibrant days. Some areas could use a little updating, and a few of the smaller shops have rotated out, which takes away a bit of the variety it used to have. That said, I had a great time last night walking through Barnes & Noble to get into the mall — it’s always such a calm and cozy way to start a visit. The bookstore feels like its own little world before stepping into the hustle and bustle of the mall. Overall, it’s still a nice place to shop or grab a bite, but it doesn’t stand out as much as it used to. A few small improvements in cleanliness, ambiance, and store variety could make a big difference.

Huge place, love the two places I went to here: Scheels and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill.

I visited with my family, including my elderly wheelchair bound father on Black Friday. It was definitely a busy day at the mall. We used the valet parking which charged $15 but was totally worth it. The valets were very patient as we transferred my dad from the car to his wheelchair and extended the same courtesy and patience when we returned to pick up the car. There is a nice selection of stores and restaurants. The entire area was easy to navigate with the wheelchair. The Holiday Decorations were really pretty.

Beautiful big park with shady picnic areas and grills. They also have kid playgrounds, some water fun and trains . Bathrooms were kept tidy and love the fact that they have memorial trees throughout the park.

This park is an oasis in the desert! There are paved walking trails throughout. I clocked 7,000 steps & enjoyed each & every one! The park has every possible thing you could love! A beautiful lake, paved trails, play grounds & a spay park for the kids, tennis courts, baseball fields, covered pavilions, plenty of parking & a small train that operates for special events. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!!

Beautiful and peaceful. This park has a large lake that you can fish in, playgrounds and a train you can ride, picnic areas with charcoal grills, baseball diamonds, lots of walking trails, and restrooms. It’s well maintained with lots of green. Many walkers and runners of all ages. Plenty of parking. A great entertainment em area for all!!

My kids absolutely love this park, with the splash pad being nice and cold to the tons of jungle gyms and a huge play ground. There was non stop fun all day. Tons of ducks & having the splash pad gated was super nice.

I had Granddaughter time recently and after a few spins around Chandler Mall, I decided on a change of scenery. Maps showed this park nearby and what a gem it was! It was nearly the Golden Hour of the day and many were gathered for photo opportunities. The park offered so many spectacular backdrops for photos. We strolled around the lake, watching the train pass by, saying hello to other families. We didn't stroll the entire park and only came across one playground which was much too large and chaotic for my 18 month old gd, but we will be back to explore more soon!

The train was more expensive than freestone park and more of their equipment at the moment is out of order. The design of the splash pad and bridge by the playground is really cool though. The lake is clean and the ducks are fun to see. The trees are mature so their immense size is nice for shade. There's even a cooking Ramada with large grills. It was super nice to see many people there with some well maintained bathrooms.

Good park to spent you day time and it’s for all the age groups. There is a small train ride available on weekends and it’s always full. Fishing is available with limited numbers you can take it with you. Many playing options available throughout the park.

It was fun. Plenty of different activity stations to enjoy. Once you pay to get in you don't have to use money for any of the activities unless you want to buy tokens for the crayon making station or modeling clay. Get there early so that you have enough time to spend at each coloring station. We got there 2 hrs before closing so we had to rush. Be prepared to spend money in the gift shop. They have some great stuff. Next time we will get there at opening!

Awesome experience! My kids loved it. We went on a Friday morning, We were just passing through Chandler/Phoenix, but decided to spend a few hours here! It's sad to hear that this location is closing in June. I recommend going before they close, or going to one of their other locations after! We did their melted crayon art, create a shape (Race cars, emojis, and rings!), put a name on a crayon, have their AI draw a picture, meet a crayon, and many other fun items. Many of these things we did multiple times too, the kids were having a blast!

I took my three-year-old son here and we had a blast! We did all kinds of fun stuff, like turning his picture into a coloring page, making custom crayons, playing with the water wall, and grabbing a slushie. It’s a bit pricey, but if you go in the last two hours, you can get in for half price.

10/10 there is so much to do. It is so much fun and I cannot wait to take my daughter back. She absolutely loved it. She is seven years old, I am 38 and I loved it just as much!!! 🖍️

Great place to take kids, there are quiet a few things they can do. They can melt crayons into a picture. They can wrap their own crayon, they can sculpt with clay.

The Crayola Store in Chandler, AZ is closed since June 15 2025. I am so sorry to hear that. We had so much fun. Thank you for the lifetime memories. Our 2yo twin girls loved our time at Crayola. We got some coins at the entrance and made our own crayon labels for 50 cents. We picked out modeling clay for 50 cents and made a snowman. You can color white Model Magic with markers, so you don't have to buy each color. There are great christmas crafts until the seventh of January. You can write a letter to Santa and put it in the mail carrier for Santa's mail or color a page and do lots of other crafts, like ornaments or pop up cards. You can pose, choose a background and print your own coloring pages. We had a great time and it was so much fun playing with the giant Brite-Lite board. There was an interactive projection, too. They also have some arcade games and a sifting station that costs extra. They have a big sand table with projections. And there was a mining station. You can do the scavenger hunt and win 4 crayons. We were there for 2 hours, got a stamp and went back after lunch. The fact is that you can also paint or do crafts at home, but there were also lots of things that you can't do at home. For us it was worth every penny, we had so much fun and a great time with our family 😊.

The Crayola experience is a lot of fun for younger kids. I'd say 10 and younger works fine. There are a surprisingly large number of activities in the small space, and they seem to really engage the kids well. You can melt your own crayon into a mold, melt a crayon and spin it on a plate, color a custom truck that goes a view screen, chalk up a wall and floor, paint watercolor, do molding clay, regular coloring, rubs, do a giant light brite, get a custom crayon wrapper and do several digital activities where the kids jump around. This is great for about a 2 hour visit. The price is a bit high in my opinion, especially since adults pay full price, but you are using consumables and have some souvenirs you can take home. It's probably a one off visit at 85 bucks for a parent and 2 kids. However, if you are close, then you can get a membership and save yourself a load of money. That would make it well worth multiple visits.

Fun place to eat with a bunch of exotic birds to say hi to all around you. The food was good and the service was very good. If you want something different, this is fun.

This is a really cool place with friendly service, lots of beer options, very relaxed atmosphere and a great patio. The birds are awesome. They have lots of exotic birds, so it feels like you're in a tropical paradise while sitting on the patio relaxing with friends. We did a brew tour in Chandler, Tempe and Phoenix, and the Perch ranked at the top of our list for unique places. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. We will be back.

Very unique place to hang out, large spacious seating, very good food, and large beer selection. Very unique place since they have a bunch of tropical rescue birds around the outside property. There are also a bunch of other birds that fly around and hang out here since they have a nice outdoor canopy and mist system set up. Plenty of seating however most of it is outdoors. The inside are is nice and does have seating but the outside has many more areas plus the rooftop. The rooftop is only open certain hours so be sure to check that. Food is pretty good, had the wings with their dry rub and the club sandwich. Wings were excellently crispy and the dry rub tasted good, couldn't place the flavor though. The club sandwich is good and huge so make sure your hungry. Beer menu is all on untapped, a lot of beer options that they brew and many other beer, wine, and drink options. The sues best cream ale was a favorite. Easy place to find as it is huge. Parking available in the nearby garage which is pretty big.

Great 1st time experience, totally worth the 45 minute drive. The ambiance was great, the birds are well taken care of and definitely enough patio seating. Dessert was delicious.

It's probably the first aviary slash breweries you'll ever come across. Birds are rescues, too, so good vibes here. Beer is great, and so are service and the overall vibe. Food-wise, can only speak to the mixed green salad, and it was very good. Recommend for anyone who isn't sensitive to loud bird noises.

Amazing food and an awesome environment. Staff is attentive and energetic. Food is stellar, and the bar selection is amazing. Plus: birds. So many rescue birds there! Pay special attention to Sharky. She's a sweetheart. But they can bite, so please watch from outside their enclosures and as tempting as it is, don't feed them fingers.

Came here for a double date with our friends and dogs. The staff was so sweet to our pups, so responsive, and lightning fast. I feel like we blinked and our food came out, even though I ordered a custom pizza with fried chicken on top. The chicken tasted like it had just been hand breaded and fried before being added to my pie. It was so good. We also got the pretzel to start, the Cubano, fish n chips, and burger. The atmosphere with the lights and birds is wonderful. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We were here on a Saturday (8/19) at noon. You would think they'd be fully prepared for a weekend lunch time but they weren't. The service and food were awful. I assume it was a shift leader or manager who took our order. She was rude. Then we waited 20 minutes for our food to come out. The kids bean burrito was fine but the kids chicken bites with fries was awful. It was a few little pieces of old rubbery chicken in a hard fried outer layer, with I kid you not, like 5 french fries. I went back up to the counter to ask about the dish (which is $7) and the manager addressed me as I approached with "What?" I couldn't believe it. She told me that was the kids meal and that was that. We ended up throwing it away. We saw 1 lady in the back making food and eventually saw a 3rd person towards the end. Every customer waited forever for their food. The woman who helped us definitely needs to be fired. We won't be back. Seems like all the other reviews had a similar experience. Don't go here. Anywhere else in the food court would be better than this.

This place certainly needs real management here. The staff is very uneducated and not very glad to accept orders. They are very disconnected from the customers who want to feel friendliness when ordering. The food is great in taste and quality, that’s why 2 stars.

The place is average, but they can do much better with the taste. The sauces in the self serve area were all empty.

Over 20 min ticket times? What gives. Last time I ate at this location it was slow too. Looking at everyone in line I want to tell them to grab a snack while they wait for their food. This is unacceptable. I could have home made tortillas and freshly battered and fried faster. Rubio's your food is good but this location will never see another penny from me.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. It’s really unfortunate because I enjoy Rubio’s food but this location’s staff is horrible. Every single time I’ve come to this Rubio’s, they’re somehow always on break and can’t take my order. There’s never signs out saying they’re on break and today there was actually a person standing at the cash register and when my friend and I walked up to order, he turned his back blatantly in front of our faces and didn’t say a word. We waited about 5 minutes, thinking he was busy and when we finally said, “excuse me” he turned around and mumbled “come back in twenty minutes”. He never let us know, knowing we were wasting our time standing there, and was extremely rude and inconsiderate. I almost had this exact situation happen last time I came as well, and that’s why I actually purposely avoid going to this Rubio’s but today I thought it would be different. The one time I actually did get to order, my simple bowl took over 40 minutes to come out and they gave me the completely wrong meal. I told them and they said “we are out of the ingredients for the bowl you wanted”….. Make that make sense. Don’t waste your time or money.

Everything is dirty, my coworkers all got food poisoning here. All the good employees quit and it's taking months for new people to be trained well enough to get a burrito out that doesn't take 30 minutes. All the female cashiers have attitudes and zero food and health safety precautions. I didn't eat here for 6 months because it was so bad so I gave it another shot and it is worse than it has ever been.

There was a team leader on the front this evening who has absolutely horrible customer service. We almost left to have food somewhere else. The salsa bar was almost depleted and not kept up. I’m worried about what the food is going to come out like. I believe we are going to avoid coming here in the future. It used to be good but not anymore. So sad!!

Wow...I can't believe it took me so long to try this place. The food was awesome. Even though I love shrimp, I'd planned to get something cheaper because I'm on a tight budget. Their prices were very low which made me very happy! I ordered the shrimp and fries and it was awesome! The shrimp were large butterfly shrimp and tasted very fresh (I'm from San Francisco so I'm picky about fresh seafood) and they were perfectly cooked.Fries were good too. I went back a week later and ordered the same meal with onion rings. These were freshly cut, battered and fried onion rings. All of it was amazing!

Ordered the #2 fish shrimp and chips combo, shrimp was great l, and the fish was pretty good too. I wasn’t wild about the fries, to much like a frozen bag fry. I assume the fish and shrimp is pre breaded and frozen but still had good taste. As for the pirate sauce, it was different, not a taste I’m used to when eating fish or shrimp, but it wasn’t bad. Definitely a good little fish and chips spot! Place was extremely busy, so that’s gotta tell you something!

This was the worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. It was plain, greasy, and the oil tasted rancid. The fish was dry (don’t ask me how that happens). My dog would not even eat it. Yes, truth is stranger than fiction.

Trifling do not go there! The fish and chips and tenders are something you’d get out of the freezer aisle at the grocery store!!! The scallops were okay, but I really wanted to try the oysters but they were out! But atp I’m not going back there! The worst way to spend $40 bucks very disappointed!

Great drive thru Fish, Shrimp and fries. Onion Rings are excellent. Chips are in England, this is all American. The kitchen could use a little TLC.

After many times of driving by and wanting to give this place a shot, we did. The Fish & Chips were just okay. The chips (fries) were honestly not good, extremely soggy. However, the fish itself was tasty! We also tried the fish sandwich and probably would get that again, if we were to come back. But overall, we were disappointed with our food. The best part about Pirates is the prices. Was honestly shocked compared to other places in the Valley. Probably because it's cash only but still, nice surprise.

First time there and will not go back. Burger bun was hard, burger patty was thin and did not cover bun. They pit a plastic container of ketchup in each basket with the food which caused plastic to melt,ketchup melted and was all over the food.

The table service here is absolutely fantastic—definitely 5 stars. Not the front desk, she is dreaming. The atmosphere is only appealing if you’re seated at the teppanyaki table. Unfortunately, the rest of the restaurant is quite dark and lacks the same energy or ambiance. Their non-alcoholic drink menu is impressive, with plenty of options that are both refreshing and creative. Now for the food… I ordered my steak medium-well, but it came out well-done. Everything was overly salty—as if it had been soaked in brine. Even after they replaced the steak, it was still way too salty and hard to eat. Honestly, I’d rather have fried rice from Panda Express than what they served here. It’s baffling that a Japanese restaurant could serve such disappointing teppanyaki, especially when that should be their specialty. I’ve had better teppan steak at a Cantonese restaurant in Chandler. Food is the foundation of any restaurant, and unfortunately, this place just doesn’t deliver where it matters most.

Justin was funny and a great entertaining chef. He made a delicious spicy sauce at the table that was the best! Celebrated my daughter’s birthday and he recognized her and celebrated her with tricks and jokes. Highly recommend and also very knowledgeable with food facts. Perfectly cooked food exactly as everyone ordered. Josh was a great server clearing the table and bringing refills. Salad and soups.

We had such a fun hibachi experience with Maury! The food was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly right in front of us. Maury made it entertaining the whole time with great energy and amazing skills. Definitely a memorable night—I’d highly recommend it!

The food tasted good and it was entertaining having it prepared at the table; hadn't been here for a couple of years. However, there were extra charges we didn't anticipate, and going on a birthday didn't exactly have anything special aside from the coupon in an email, which made it the same cost as anOther location I'll keep going back to instead. We sat at a table with 2 other parties, it was fun, but we must've sat upwards of 20 minutes before we even received our drinks, and a group that was seated at least 10 minutes after us, had a chef at their table starting to cook dinner before we even received our drinks. And for the cost, I thought portion sizes could've been more impressive. Once home, one of us did not have a happy tummy-- not sure if it was from the restaurant or elsewhere.

The food was awesome! I ordered the seafood trio and got shrimp, calamari, and scallops, all cooked perfectly. Justin was an amazing chef! He had a wonderful sense of humor, an incredible sweet chili sauce with a great kick, and the bonus yakisoba was epic. Our server was quick with the drinks and refills so we never wanted for a drink when that chili sauce hit. She swooped in and out efficiently and allowed us to enjoy the show. The atmosphere was so fun. We got seated early with our reservation. We sat with another family who was also celebrating their mama’s birthday. It was on the same day as our mama’s birthday! As our meal was unfolding, the restaurant filled up with guests and the lobby was full of people waiting to get in. This is definitely a go-to restaurant!

Justin and Jazz were the best ever, Justin was hilarious and the best chef ever I can’t say enough about how well he cooked our food to perfection and he was so darn funny!!! Jazz took very good care of everything else, very attentive professional yet personal. Best experience ever!!!!

Justin Poom is one of the best Chef's. He's from Thailand and is hilarious. Benihana Chandler delivers dinner with a show. Skilled chefs light up the teppanyaki grill with fiery flair and flavorful dishes. The steak and shrimp combo is a must. Great for birthdays, celebrations, or just a fun night out. 😎

they give you big portion s. reasonably prices. T the green chimi was Delish and flour chips with queso were very good!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Espos Mexican Food My Go-To Spot Since 2005! I’ve been going to Espos Mexican Food since 2005, and let me just say they’ve held it down and they’ve won multiple awards over the years, including Phoenix Times and AZ Best recognition and taking home titles three years in a row (2018–2019–2020) at local food festivals. They truly deserve every bit of the praise they get. Their consistency, quality, and flavor are authentic and so delicious. On my most recent visit, I had the chicken enchiladas combo plate along with one of their amazing chicken tacos and a drink absolutely mouth watering! The enchiladas were perfectly seasoned, the sauce had that homemade flavor you can’t fake, and the taco was packed with juicy, flavorful chicken. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels like family. You can tell they take pride in what they do. It’s rare to find a place that keeps their standards this high for so many years, and Espos definitely does. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re definitely missing out this spot is a true Arizona favorite and hands down one of the best Mexican food spots in Phoenix! 🌮🔥

I came here with my husband and honestly don't have complaints about it, but being charged to use our debit card and then paying extra for chips and salsa on top of our two entrees I was a little irritated. My chimi was pretty good but I have have had much better and bigger portion elsewhere for the same price. Husband said his green chile burro was okay, not bad but not super great. Honestly it's not a place I'd come back and spend money at for lunch when I compare it to other places.

My boyfriend took me to Espo's on a Tuesday, we were completely oblivious that it was Taco Tuesday. There was a little line but nothing terrible. I got a smothered El Chapo burrito with green chili, we got two aqua frescas that reminded me of childhood! They had the misters going and also had a dj on the patio! I can't wait to go back.

Location is cute, food was super good and had great variety, and the prices are pretty dang good too, the full meal/plates are around $11.50, which is great compared to other places. The only downside is there is an additional fee for paying with a card, so pay with cash if you can. Their food is served in a tinfoil plate, so you can easily take it home and eat it later if you want.

First time here, great food! I thought it would be like many of the other Mexican chains around here, but I was surprised that it wasn't (even though I do like the other places as well - talking about the -bertos here). You order at the counter and they call your number. Quick and to the point... I ordered the carne asada enchilada plate. It did not disappoint! The red sauce was flavorful and the carne asada was tasty. Also, shout-out to the refried beans and red/green sauces -- yummy! Good place and would definitely come back.

The variety on the menu is fantastic. There is a little bit of everything here to choose from. The food is prepared quickly and is hot when you pick it up. Carnita tacos were delicious! The beans had a great authentic flavor. Rice was a little dry.

“Decent Outlet Mall, But Very Quiet on Weekdays” This outlet mall offers a wide variety of stores and a good selection of products. The prices are okay—not the best deals, but reasonable. However, when I visited on a Tuesday, the place felt almost deserted, and not every store was open. It’s probably better to visit on a busier day for a livelier shopping experience.

First of all, the hospitality while entering the store was exquisite. I was not only greeted by two employees but almost immediately asked if I needed any help. One employee named Jen aided me in finding a bag that would suit me and the process of checking out was quick and efficient! I will definitely come back, overall great experience.

The lighting show is small but very nice for the all edges

HOT but lots of high end stores.

Great selection of discounted products from all the featured brands. Nearby hotels have free shuttle pick and drop zones (near the Adidas store). I picked up some tall sized footwear from Crocs + Nike at 35-40% discount. Food court selection isn’t up to the mark, though.

Great place to shop for any age! The food court is run down, but they have good store selections. Great area/location overall!

Arrived right at opening. The temperature appears to be keeping people away. I accompanied my spouse and daughter and daughter in law. I sat on various shaded benches and people watched while rhe females shopped. Good bargains and every shoppe is air conditioned well. The outlet mall is well layed out with a good variety of stores for browsing or actually purchasing. Parking was able to be in a shaded area due to early arrival. Recommend an early start during the summer months.

This review is specifically for Glowing Pumpkins. Glowing Pumpkins at Rawhide was such a magical experience! One of those nights that makes you feel like a little kid again. 🎃✨ As you make your way toward the entrance, it honestly doesn’t look like much at first. But once you get in line (which, by the way, moved surprisingly fast), you can start to see the soft glow of pumpkins in the distance. That’s when you realize, this isn’t just a few displays. You don’t truly understand how big it is until you’re actually walking through it. The very first thing you see as you step through the Glowing Pumpkins Event entrance, is a glowing Phoenix, and it instantly sets the tone for the entire event. As we followed the winding pathway, it felt like walking through a storybook brought to life with pumpkins. Everywhere you looked, there were incredibly detailed and creative carvings, rows and rows of them lighting up the night! Each section had its own little “theme.” We passed Disney princesses 👑, mermaids 🧜‍♀️, fairies 🧚‍♀️, The Caribbean, The Munsters, Avengers, Stranger Things ⚡ and honestly, so much more. But the real showstoppers were the dinosaurs. 🦖🔥 Massive, glowing pumpkin sculptures that felt larger than life and made everyone, kids and adults alike, stop to take pictures. What made it even better was the weather. It was that perfect cool Arizona night where you can just stroll, take your time, and enjoy everything without feeling rushed. The whole vibe was fun, relaxed, and family-friendly, truly something for all ages. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Tickets were around $25 per person, and honestly, it was worth every penny. Between the creativity, the atmosphere, and how unique the experience was, it’s the perfect fall outing! Whether it’s a date night, a family adventure, or just a fun night out with friends. If you’re looking for something festive and a little magical this season, Glowing Pumpkins should definitely be on your list. 🍂🕯️✨

We went to the Halloween jack-o'-lantern walk. It was excellent! So well put together and beautifully crafted. The town was neat too. I think it will get better as time goes on and more events are hosted there. Would highly recommend the glowing pumpkins event to anyone (unless there are mobility issues as there is quite a bit of walking). The only thing I would change is the parking lot needs to be paved as the air was VERY dusty from people traveling in and out.

Highly recommend going here with the family lots of photos opportunities and free bouncer’s for the kids! Wasn’t to crowded and you get to go at your own pace.

Glowing Pumkins chose a great place along the waterway at Rawhide for their display, but it was very bland to say the least. The initial entry way has halloween themed lights that danced to the music and that's what the entire display needed as ambiance while walking through. I say "bland" because outside of the natural terrain of the location there was nothing else in 90% of the display or walk through. Just a sidewalk lined with pumpkins...most of them looked horribly fake while some gave off a realistic vibe.... with no background light display or Halloween vibe outside of the cutouts of the pumpkins....which unfortunately repeated themselves way too many times, no longer making each and every pumpkin unique. They did do a good job when it came to the larger displays and themed areas, i.e. superheros, sea life, Disney, Harry Potter, dinosaurs, etc. But over all there should have been more to look at with halloween lights, webs, spiders, witches, boo, anything. Plus they should have had floating lights in the water and used the natural landscape to their advantage as the walkway was beautiful in itself, the displays lacked and looked extremely fake for the most part. Loved the opportunity for family time, disappointed in the overall quality and execution of the display

The food/drinks/alcohol has theme park/carnival prices. $9 for a bottle of soda. The Zombie shooting section was fun and intense. We enjoyed it immensely. The prices and just how everything is very dusty and such is why I pull it down a star. Anyone who has allergies to dust and dirt everywhere may not have a great time in comparison to those who do not, but it will still be fun. But the prices...man. Still a good place to spend a time. We really enjoyed it.

Had a fantastic time hunting zombies through the streets of Rawhide! Have been to Rawhide in prior years when they had the paintball shooting zombie experience. Definitely enjoyed this new zombie hunting more. Will definitely return next year if they continue to offer it.

I'm giving this place a neutral rating because it went from being a cool western town to a literal ghost town. It's purpose is unclear Used to be a great place to bring my friends from out of state for that touristy experience and now it's just dilapidated buildings and piles of construction/trash/demolition. As an event center, plenty of open space and parking, and all the events have been good so far....But I just think they need to make up their mind permanently about the use of this place and remove all the old unused western buildings that serve no purpose except a memory of former times.

To the audience that have been searching for a place to accommodate your children with fun and excitement, this is the place to go. Your children will thank you for selecting a place that will fulfill every expectation of having a blast. You and you children will leave this established satisfied My grandson had his birthday party at Mukuta on October 4th, and I could not believe that the staff at this estabishment was so professional,courteous and rolled out the red carpet for all of us. I felt that we were not just a number to them. They made sure everything was taken care of in reference to the party and just generally provided excellent customer service.If I had known about this place before, I would have gone there to take other children there as well. Last but not least, the effect thst this place would have on your children is that they constantly ask you to take them to this amusement park everyday

We love this place! My son often plays for 2-3 hours here! Super clean & I love that he can climb and get all his energy out

Great way to beat the heat this summer with the kids! Always looking for fun new exciting things to keep kids entertained while out of school! We spent hours at Makutu’s Island! friendly, helpful staff too! It’s nice to see employees happy to be at work! Would recommend this place for your next kids birthday party or event! They take all the worry out of the planning! Also 10/10 with the food! It actually has great taste and flavor! Would recommend the icy flight as a desert!

Bottom line up front - Go. It's a great place for kids. They will have a blast. Makutu's Island has new owners/management from the last time I was here and everything is cleaner, in better repair, and more well lit. The staff is friendly and constantly in motion cleaning surfaces and circulating the grounds. There's the giant central tree playground with snake slides. A blue tree playground. A Flintstones style cave playground with fish tank and waterfall! And a toddler's playground. Any child will find something to enjoy and get a workout. The cafe is large and clean. The bathrooms are clean and have adult and kids heights toilets and sinks. Price includes cool grippy socks for the kids (see pic). AC is good. Completely comfortable for play while it is 106 outside. There are plenty of hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the building and they are actually full. I am very impressed with this place.

We decided to come here today, cause it was 100 out and she still needed to get out energy and play. It’s ALMOST not built tall enough for us big kids. I did hit my head a couple of times from crouching and standing up too soon. You can be a story high in the air, there’s so many slides to go down. The climbing metal posts are kinda sketch, and I got dizzy really fast from going around in circles. They have an arcade. The restrooms have kid toilets. I used one and thought “they took pooping into control with this one” but I checked other stalls and the rest were big toilets 🤣🤣😭 oh well.

I had such a great experience at Makutu’s Island for my son’s 8th birthday party! The staff made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. They handled everything, so all I really had to do was show up and enjoy the day with my son and his friends. The kids had an amazing time exploring, playing, and celebrating, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, easy, and memorable birthday party spot!

We had a great time here this weekend! It’s well lit, clean and staff are everywhere and very willing to help. We had dinner in the cafe and Jacob helped us. He was EXCELLENT! So personable and helpful. We needed a couple of special considerations and Jacob never even blinked an eye when fulfilling them. We’ve been here several times over the years and instead of getting old and run down they have really worked to keep things fresh and bright.

Great place for your kiddo to burn off some energy rock climbing wall, big jungle gym, And lots of other fun stuff to do. A little bummed out we have to purchase socks, even though we had the same socks already But that’s just ways for them to make more money.

The place is great for children and adults alike to have fun. I signed up to do the VIP membership (I think I had it for close to a year) but I have decided to end it. The service at the desk is slow, food service is slow and give you very little to what you're paying for. I'm paying $4.99+ tax for fries that are now just a handful compared to the amount they used to give out the previous times we were here. Also a weird thing: the songs that are played, it has been the same for over a year. Very sad and disappointing.

An excellent place to take my 2-year-old to expend his energy. Large area for kids to run around. Fun stations for older kids to climb and maneuver. Indoors so lovely to escape the heat. They were not crowded due to the school season starting, so there was minimal staffing in areas that required supervision. The staff at the counter was friendly, but young adults seemed not to pay attention to the rest of the site. Overall, an excellent place to take your kids out of the house during the summer.

I would give them 10 stars if I could! We held an event with about 700 people there and it still seemed so spacious. The venue is very clean and their team was super accommodating with everything from a media center for presentations to fresh pizzas being made throughout the night (which were super yummy, by the way) to giving our team plenty of time and space to prep and decorate! They even went out the day of to buy a large water trough to ensure our water bottles would be cold for our guests! AND he decorated it with LED lights to make it fun.. It's those little details that make a big difference and their GM, Jason, knows how to throw a party. Jason and his team truly went above and beyond from the pre-event prep all the way through to the post-event cleanup, being very attentive and helpful to everyone who attended that night. We honestly cannot say one bad thing about our entire experience at Gravity.. I HIGHLY Recommend it for a fun time with your family or for a big event!

What an exhilarating experience! There's fun for all ages and the staff here is great. I was very pleased with how supportive and informative the staff was as I took on all the activities of my choice with the Day Pass. They were eager to answer any questions I had and ensure my safety. This is a fun by yourself or with a group of friends. Better yet, it's not only great entertainment, it's a fun way to get a workout in. I didn't expect it, but after a couple wonderful hours of fun, I left sweaty and completely satisfied. So give it a go! Test your balance, challenge your fear of heights, push yourself to the limit or just enjoy a fun night out with friends or day out with the co workers.

This place isn't just for kids! I went on a Thursday afternoon and found a group of Moms all there without their kids. I also saw a couple of homeschooling parents with their kids. It was a great way to do something physical since it's still over 110° outside. Definitely go midweek if you can do you won't have to wait so long for the various activities. If your child has a birthday, there are 4 party rooms in the middle of the facility. AND there is a large area for parents/kids to lounge.

Excellent team!! Ryan was really sweet and polite explains things very well! So much fun!!!

This is a treat. We get these anytime. We’re in California and surprised to find them here in the Phoenix metro. Terrific burgers fries. Really top-notch service here and a fun atmosphere.

this was the worst in n out experience ever! we all love in n out so this was that bad! food was cold and it was busy busy ,the line of cars was through the entire parking lot wrapped around the place. it was fine because I expected good food and should've been hot ..warm ...nope cold !!. the burger as you can see didn't come close to fitting the bun and so much lettuce - ridiculous . not even the kid or dog would eat the cold fries. terrible experience .the only good thing was the sweet girl taking orders .

Been coming to this location over 10 years now. Always super quick and friendly service! It does get busy, but the staff are fantastic and get orders out quickly, love it here!

I wanted to share my experience today at in-n-out burger. I was having a rough morning and I walked into the dining room and was greeted by a smiling cheerful associate (Victoria). I ordered my food and sat down. Victoria was so kind and asked if I would like a refill . It really brightened my day to encounter such a positive atmosphere. You don’t really see that a lot at fast food restaurants, and she was very professional which made me feel like I was in a high end restaurant.

We don't eat out often, but when we do it's so nice when places get our orders correct! This location was quick and got everything in our order correct. The staff was very friendly. We were very happy with the whole experience. We ordered burgers fries and shakes and all were wonderful.

Good is always great, consistent, and fresh. The staff are friendly and helpful. The facilitates are always clean and someone is always walking around making sure tables are clean as quickly as possible when people leave so others can sit.

Just had In-N-Out for the first time. It was great! Yabbi, the young man that took our order was super! Courteous, professional, and friendly. Only critique we have are the fries felt like they sat a bit before they were served but the fresh tomatoes, onions, and crunchy pickles really made up for it.

Just by blind accident I came across this restaurant as a plan B for my birthday and how wrong I was! This should have been plane A from the start. The food was soo good that we couldn't stop talking about how amazing the dishes were. And the pineapple upside down cake was just too good to be true! If your in the area or struggling to fine a great place to dine-in, this is a must

We choose this restaurant to celebrate our family 1st. New Year Eve in Chandler just because we have been to Hawaii original Roy’ Restaurant’ and still loaded with unforgettable & wonderful memories, we thought it’s impossible to get anything wrong. Unfortunately, the reality was we experienced the worst pre-mixed New Year meal and extremely disappointed with this chain restaurant. I noticed the restaurant owner/ manager won’t get reply back to lower reviews, I still need to point these unacceptable things out. 1, We made a reservation for 3 people, the hostess brought us to a table and toke away one people’s tableware immediately, it was very odd and weird, the waitress added complete tableware after our request and her seemed like it’s Okay. 2, We ordered pre-mixed New Year Meal, because no other choices substituted, and the price range is pretty high from $ 65-99. 3, My mango mojito wasn’t ideal and plain, we still looking forward to our next food adventure, but it took us 25 minutes waiting, when the starters were served, the pork ribs and short ribs were barely cold. I tolerated the food and controlled my temper, trying to be nice, because I don’t want to get mad at the waitress and destroyed the atmosphere. 4, The lobster bisque was mediocre and still not quite warm, I don’t get it, is the galley out of control with the pre-mixed menu or something else? 5, To our mostly frustrated,the Filet was raw inside but skin burnt outside, we just returned the food back for reheating, furthermore, they utilized sweet corns, pop corns and beans as side dish of scallops, this was first time I saw in this sort of prestigious rating restaurant. 6, Last but not least, the manager took the filet price out of the total charge for compensation, we weren’t going to get any discount for this food experience at the most significant day of the year. I once served with chain hotel & resorts and acted as F&B manager, maybe I’m quite sensitive, but I was not criticism or picky, and I always have good intentions to write positive reviews. I just wanted to remind the owner can pay attention to take care of the “ food quality & consistency “ at the other chain restaurant and persisted the shining reputations of original Hawaii Roy’s. Restaurant.

A fusion restaurant with lots of Asian influence in their cooking. There’s a singapore cuisine even showed up here. Lots of fish with combination plater or steak.. ordered lobster tails that comes with black glutinous rice and vege.. kind of unique but the lobster tasted great as it comes with the lobster bisque too.. varieties of wine selection that’s pretty good and also some signature cocktails. Food was great and great service. Nice and cosy ambience for talks. Family and business friendly restaurant but at higher price to pay.. Jan 2022. 2nd visit after 2 years due to Covid 19. Revisit this restaurant and the food quality remains high standard. Great wine choice to pair and enjoying the great time. Ordered the few rolls especially Haleakala rolls with panko crips, auntie Lei aloha roll are as good. If you dare to eat raw definitely you have to order the big eye tuna poke with deep fried wonton skin! So so good… The entrees we have ordered the shellfish sampler which I love the lobster tail and scallops. Perfectly cook to perfection on the texture where lo stair and prawn may tend to overly cooked. The classic 4 to let you try all the best prepared fish types especially the butter fish and crusted mahi-mahi are so yummy! The dessert was fantastic especially the black fudge cake with ice cream and the cream brûlée ! Great service and wine selection .. price still expensive but worth every pennies !

Unbelievable meal! Everything from drinks to dessert was first class and delicious. Impeccable service! Couldn't have asked for a better location to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. We made a reservation ahead of time and they had everything prepared for our celebration. Will definitely return.

It was Arizona restaurant week, and we had always wanted to go to Roy's. I went with the Temura Crusted Ahi Tuna Roll, Hibachi Grilled Salmon and Roy's Melted Hot Chocolate Soufflé. The Tuna Roll was really flavorful, and a decent size. The Slmon was perfectly cooked with a nice crunch on the ends, which is how I like it. The dessert was Chocolate to the nth degree. Really sweet and a bit heavy to end the meal, but still good, I just couldn't finish it. The Husband ordered the same appetizer, Katsu Chicken and the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Of which both were perfectly executed. With the dessert being a lighter way to end the meal. We had thought the serving portions would be smaller based on the price point, we were so wrong. Everything was so good. We can't wait to go back.

This was my first time coming here. It was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint. There were so many nice touches. From the tiki torches outside, to our server placing our napkins on our laps, and they were very quick to clean off plates too. The table next to us suggested the lobster potstickers. They came with their signature butter sauce. They had a nice crunch on the edges and if you needed more, the slaw on the side was a nice addition. I ordered the jalapeno margarita to add some sweet heat. Yum! The main meal was their lobster tail, grilled shrimp, scallops, asparagus and risotto. This was absolutely delicious! The char on the grilled shrimp added a great flavor. The scallops were a little undercooked but they seared them a little longer and came back perfect! Finally, to top off dinner, we had the molten lava chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry jam on the side. I will definitely be going back to try more dishes.

Roys is definitely one of the best restaurants that I have ever dined in. I return quite often and go out of my way to do so. There’s a lovely warmth from the romantic and welcoming fire! My top choices are the tempura ahi roll (or any of the rolls), the crispy chicken spring rolls, the Katsu chicken, Parmesan truffle fries, the filet mignon is amazing, the sliders are great, and any of the desserts! Also the tiki punch is fabulous! The atmosphere is terrific, calming, happy, peaceful. Whether dining in or taking out the service is wonderful. The setting is relaxing. The food is delicious! Everyone that works here is friendly and treat customers just like family. Mike is the best!! I recommend this place 100%. It is clean, it is sanitary, and it is the perfect place for friends and family to enjoy a night out. Worth every penny!

First time at this location. I love fay burger, even though I don't eat beef, their turkey burger is amazing, the only reason for 4 stars, was the wait time, other than that, delicious@

Burger was messy and wasn't packaged right and I checked the bag noticed there was no ketchup up so I asked the lady at the register she repeated my question "you have no ketchup?" And I said nope she then turned her head to the worker and asked him did you give him ketchup" he yelled YUP so I said ok cool I don't see it must be at the bottom. Get back to my room no ketchup 😅 acting like they giving out gold.

I mean it's ok. I've been to others and maybe they have a better place in the city. This is near casinos and whatnot so it was just convenient to have this nearby but it was just meh so so.

I like it. They do a great job. Lots of flavor and you can add a bunch of stuff. Like chili or an egg. I do, however think inn n out is still the best value out there.

Walked right up to the counter. 20 minutes lateri asked them what was taken ng so long and they said there were three more ahead of me. For the price and time it took I should of gone to one of the actual restaurants.

Service wasn’t Good and Calling Names and after Laugh don’t know if they Laughing with something or your Names either way is not Good is Very Rude. 😡😡😡 Burger is a little bit missy.

5 stars for the burgers, only draw back is that place smells like smoke, and I am a former smoker. Get your food to go if it bothers you, well worth it.

I am a foodie and have been to many great restaurants. Kai needs to be added to that list. I live in Old Scottsdale so have been to Atlas and Cafe Monarch and many other top notch places. Went to Kai at Wild Horse Pass Resort tonight. Jeremy and Taylor were our hosts for the night and were both fantastic. Can not say enough about the service and the food but the real winner was the small touches. The pour over coffee, the desert rain smell, dry ice garden, the candle they sent home with us, the personal note thanking us for the night and the special desert for our anniversary. Everything was tip top and fantastic. You will not be disappointed. Will go again.

Taylor and Asia took amazing care of us. Everything was phenomenal but my favorites were the pee posh, venison, bison, and the honey dessert. They made our birthday celebration very special. I highly recommend trying this once in a lifetime experience!

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey The seven-course tasting menu with wine pairing was nothing short of extraordinary, offering a thoughtful, beautifully curated exploration of flavor, history, and culture. Each dish told a story, rooted in Native American traditions and ingredients, yet elevated with modern techniques that honored the past while embracing the present. Chef Anderson clearly took great care in every detail, and the accompanying wines were expertly selected to enhance and complement each course. What truly set the evening apart, though, was the heart behind it all. The team didn’t just serve food, they shared knowledge, passion, and a genuine warmth that made the entire experience feel personal and profound. You could tell they deeply believed in what they were doing, and their pride and joy were infectious. Every interaction felt sincere and generous, making the service feel less like fine dining formality and more like being welcomed into a beloved tradition. This wasn’t just a meal, it was a cultural immersion and a celebration of community, connection, and craft. Thank you to everyone at Kai for a truly unforgettable experience.

I was very hesitant at first when I saw the menu, portion size, and the price but boy is it worth it. This is the most unique food I have ever had and it is made so beautifully. While the portions may be small, you are still full at the end and it gives you the opportunity to try so many different things. I recommend bringing at least two other people so you can try a bite of everything. Don’t even get me started on how amazing the drinks are. Alexis did a fantastic job. You really are treated like royalty here and Jeremy does a great job at making you feel welcomed. This was such a fun experience 10/10

KAI is absolutely incredible. Such a rare and special experience that we are all lucky to have exist. Feliciano has been our server for YEARS and is the most hospitable, knowledgable, friendly, kind. The Sommelier, Darren, knows everything you'd want to know about wines and has great suggestions. Chef Drew Anderson is so talented and has created a wonderful, memorable, delicious menu. The service is over the top. We hope this restaurant stays around forever!

My review from Kai is way past its due time. My wife and I were there on Feb 24, 24. However, the experience both in terms of service and food was so outstanding that we still remember and discuss it. The theme was corn and there was a story to tell from the start to the end of the menu. In terms of food, all the dishes were some of the most complex foods we had, both in terms of taste and texture. The service was also spectacular, the staff took care of us from start to the end. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

This place was incredible! Jeremy was so knowledgeable and personable, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. All of the staff were excellent. The food and drinks were all phenomenal, it’s hard to pick a favorite dish! The presentation was gorgeous and the food was fresh and crafted so thoughtfully. 10/10, the perfect 5 year anniversary dinner experience!!
