We absolutely love hanging out at Lake Pleasant. There are so many different areas, each with a different vibe. You can go to Scorpion Bay Marina to enjoy the water park, dinning on the lake, boat rentals and more. Or, you can hit one of the many swimming areas... our favorite thing to do. There are plenty of swimming areas that can be reached with any type of vehicle, and then there are the more secluded areas on the northeast and east side of the lake that can be reached with a 4x4. We haven't tried the fishing or the campgrounds yet... but they are next!

I went to this lake on Memorial day 2018. This lake is like a boon in the deserts of Arizona. A very short drive from Phoenix to this place which is a scenic beauty. We had a good time there just gazing at the surroundings. Go boating, fishing whatever you want you will definitely enjoy the place.

Absolutely love Lake Pleasant, my favorite of Lakes in the Phx areas. Love the campgrounds at Road Runner and Desert Tortoise with the best lakefront spots with developed and primitive campsites! Gets crowded on the weekends, party atmosphere so go during the week if you want a more peaceful experience. PLEASE WEAR LIFE VESTS ( every year there are horror stories) and if you don’t know safety protocols for boat rentals and jet skis, get help. People have died getting drunk and being reckless. Wild burros run through the campsites so as you enter the Lake Pleasant area look out for them because they are getting hit by cars 😢You must watch small pets because coyotes are present. Check out sites 11-24 in Roadrunner but you must book months in advance to get the best lakefront sites, they go fast. Desert Tortoise is harder to level but from there you have access and can hike down to the water easily. Was going here every month for several years and they are open to all types of vehicles, even my Tiny House on wheels! Dump station at exit. These are pics I took from my time spent there.

The lake is very low this time of year. The person at the entrance did state they won't be getting more water into the lake for another couple of months. There is no shade at the lake, if you plan on spending the day, I would recommend bringing your own shade structure, or at least umbrellas. Sun screen is a definite must. The water was warm, perfect for those that want to swim. They do have some hiking trails, which I recommend in the cooler months. There were plenty of boater and jet skiers, along with people fishing off the shore

Great place! Super beautiful oasis in arizona! My wife and i went on a Wednesday and was empty. Water cool, fish jumping, clean place, what more could anyone ask for. Pack it in pack it out. There are lots of wild donkey's so please respect the rule of the lake!

If it's a weekend or later in the day, expect rough waters! Like open sea white caps! No good for skiing! Also, you better hope you don't brake down, having problems with your boat, because a short tow is going to cost you big bucks! Starts at $250. Not sure if that's the starting price or just from point across from dock that we had problems. Less then a mile and that was the quote!! Insanity! Lastly, it's Sooo busy at boat launch! That's putting in and out! Alot of people and waiting your turn! Cooking in the heat! Not my favorite AZ lake, but if I'm skiing in the morning and still plan to make it home for work, this is the place!

Always a great time at Lake Pleasant whether you’re hiking, camping, picnicking or boating. There is something for everyone. This weekend we took the boat out and were able to launch it quickly no problem. The area is clean and easy to get in and out of the park. Bring plenty of food and water as it’s not available unless you’re going to the marina to eat and the restaurants. Parking is not too big of us issue until it gets closer to summer. We love all the wildlife we see including of course the donkeys.

I had the pleasure of attending Arizona Broadway Theatre’s performance of “Phantom”. I had never seen this other version of the iconic “Phantom of the Opera” story and was eager to experience it. I first want to note that the lobby and seating area were clean and pristine! All staff were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I also greatly adored and appreciated that the lobby and theatre area were decorated for the musical. And it was such a treat that the main cast came out to the lobby after the show to mingle with the audience. As for the show; I was awed and amazed by the level of talent performing this extraordinary musical on stage. Jamie made such an enchanting Phantom and really captivated the audience with his exceptional performance. Alec did a wonderful job as Phantom as well. The actress who played Christine really conveyed the innocence, beauty, and sweetness well that was the character and backed it up with her vocals. The actress who played Carlotta was most convincing and gave such an entertaining performance with her spot on accent and vocals. The supporting cast were also great and really helped with the immersive experience. Although I did not purchase a meal with my ticket, I did see the dessert options come out and was happy with how everything looked. With this in mind, I will want to try a meal ticket next time I attend the Arizona Broadway Theatre. I can hardly wait to attend another show! Thank you AZ Broadway Theatre for reawakening my love and passion for the arts; I shall never let that part of me sleep again.

My daughter participated in the theatre camp and absolutely loved it! The staff were so friendly and learned her name right away. She felt safe and excited to go everyday. The show they put on was light-years beyond what I expected for a kids musical! Fantastic place to take your theatre loving kiddos!

As a lifelong theatre buff and someone who has been involved in community theatre development for many years, I can honestly say that Arizona Broadway Theatre is one of the most impressive professional theatre organizations I’ve ever experienced. From the moment you arrive, the professionalism shines through. The food is delicious, the service attentive, and the overall atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in for something special. And then the show begins—wow! The talent on stage is top-notch, (yes brought in from New York's own Broadway) the costumes are stunning, and the sets are nothing short of magical. Their new LED screen is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in Arizona, bringing productions to life in a whole new way. Beyond the stage, ABT’s commitment to the community is remarkable. Their outreach programs for kids are truly changing lives, planting seeds of creativity and confidence that will last a lifetime. To see a theatre that not only entertains but also uplifts the next generation is inspiring. After 20 years in the making, Arizona Broadway Theatre continues to raise the bar. If you haven’t been yet, treat yourself—it’s an amazing experience!

We attended the opening night of Newsies! This is the third time we have seen a show at ABT and it never disappoints. Cocktail reception prior to the show: Strong drinks, and great flavor. I love the themed signature cocktails. The set design is outstanding. For a smaller stage, the design made you feel like you were transported back to 1899 New York. The dinner was good. I had the salmon, it was moist, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. The performance made headlines. The cast was talented and kept my attention the whole time, which is hard to do for someone with a short attention span like me. I would recommend seeing a show at Arizona Broadway Theatre anytime you are looking for something fun and entertaining!

We made a trip to see the Newsies musical. We were greeted with friendly staff and we're walked to our table. This place was great. My family enjoyed the show and even met with cast. The cast came out to meet the audience in the lobby and signed autographs and also took pictures with us. This was a great experience and we look forward to coming back for other shows.

Broadway is the cultural heartbeat of New York. Walking through the district, the glowing lights of the theaters create an exciting atmosphere. I had the chance to watch a Broadway musical, and it was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. The talent of the actors and the quality of the production were outstanding. Even just walking through the area felt inspiring because of the energy in the air. The mix of history, art, and entertainment here is unmatched. If you want to experience the true cultural side of New York, Broadway is the place to go.

First time to this theater, and it was a fantastic experience! We saw Newsies, and the show and cast was incredible. The sets, the stage, the talent, it was a great show from start to finish! Very cool that they serve dinner and drinks, the food was good and the service throughout was great! If you get the opportunity to go to any show here, don’t skip!

Free parking for spring training game day. Check the huge baseball for spring practice entrance. Both Padre and Mariners side are quite accessible and see players practice in close distance. They don't have too many food options inside the field and the team store is relatively small for two teams.

Visited the Peoria Sports Complex for the Desert Night Market. Excellent! Big variety of vendors and food.

Pro Tip: cool off with the breeze under the scoreboard. Cooling fans for the electronics + wind tunnel in the shade by are = Ahhhhh. See pic. Great time at the Mariners game. There was plenty for everyone of all ages to do before the game. Try pitching and get measured by radar gun. Children’s play area and cooling mist. Plus so many food options aside from the fixed food counters and stands. The free parking is a plus with most charging for it but get there early to avoid parking far away in gravel overflow lots. Like they just closed main parking off just over an hour before hand. This is a shared venue between Ms and San Diego so when they play each other it will be packed to the gills. Anyhow, good seats although they were in the narrow side. Good times and great place to take in a game.

This is a really cool spot if you are a baseball fan! The spring training home of the Mariners & Padres. Both teams also workout at this facility so if you head out early you can get an up close look at your favorite players working out. Today we saw the Mariners catchers working out and the hitting on one of the outdoor fields!

I was hosting 12 Naval Academy classmates plus spouses over the March 21 weekend. I reached out to Ty Petersen at the Peoria Sports Complex about attending a Spring (Cactus League) baseball game. Ty was very engaged, professional and communicative throughout the process of organizing and booking our game. We booked in the Collonade which is a semi private venue on the home field side. Great location to view the game and tickets provide access to a very good buffet and bar. You have the option of sitting in dedicated stadium seats or enjoying the indoor/outdoor seating in the Collonade. Ty also arranged to have our group featured on the scoreboard! Lastly, he personally appeared to meet our group and thank us for our business! The whole experience throughout was awesome!

Very cool Baseball park. We unfortunately didn’t make it to a game here for spring training but we had to see the mariners home stadium and watched them practice. Also visited the team store. It was free to park there before the game. Got to watch the players practice and quite a few stopped to sign my son’s baseball. Lots of people there wanting autographs. Very cool experience!

Overall this is a great place to enjoy spring training. However I know many people who work at the concession stands(via temp agency)and they would like the community to know that when you tip them they never receive any of the tips,and if you leave them a cash tip..well they get kicked off the job. I think this isn't fair and just who is receiving the tips, the partner who brought them on..? It's bad enough that if you attend one of these events expect to easily spend 50.00 on each person and if you decide to reward someone for good service and a great attitude.. someone else will be pocketing their money. Other than that great way to bring in America's past time and relax and enjoy a game

I went to the discount grocery store not the "final clearance" store shown in the picture shown. The grocery store does have some name brands and good prices. It's difficult to get a thank you or "thanks for shopping with us" out of the staff who are twenty-somethings. The staff have the look of people who are on a early release program. The store was nearly empty.

Great prices on a somewhat limited selection. Tried to find kitchen sink for mom , but no luck. Employee was helpful and showed us sinks in a different part of the store.

Great customer service very helpful and friendly staff.

This was supposed to be a clearance store but the prices were high especially for returned Amazon items. The selection was lousy cheap items that wasn't clearance priced. Avoid this store. Better selection at Ross or dad's or 5 below. Dont recommend any items

There is a grocery discount store in this plaza that I visit and it's simply awesome. They have all types of name brand food items such as bread,cereal, pasta noodles, chips, soda,juces,spices condiments ect. But it doesn't stop there they also have baby products formula, baby food ,diapers, ointments and toys........oh but there is yet more like cleaning products paper products and soooooooo much more I could go on for days and you need to vist often as the inventory changes. This place is a must vist if you haven't been there already!

Went to the Matsuri event. The event had too many venldors and not eniught cultural emphasis. We did eventuallly find the educational vendors down an alley. Parking is difficult (the web page warned we might want to take the bus.)

Sign said 50% off on summer items, so I bought a pair of bike shorts, priced at $10.00. I believed the shorts were a summer item; they were not. I was not impressed with their, so called final prices. One walk through, nothing there to bring me back.

I have been coming to this Long John Silvers for the past year. I come as a regular and dine in. I would highly recommend if you have the time to dine in, as the environment is always quiet nice, smooth music throughout the lobby, pretty clean the majority of the time throughout the dining area, fairly clean facilities too, well stocked of condiments, straws, lids and never had an issue with the soda machine either during my experiences. As for the menu there are plenty of favorites to choose from, and the quality is good, but will say they can be a bit pricey on some choices. For the reason to my 3 star review, it is solely due to the slightly higher prices on their food, compared to other fast food locations. I feel since they sell the idea of seafoods, they seem to upsell it all a bit. Along with the majority of these foods being battered and fried, there tends to be plenty of grease, so you will definitely taste the cooking oil. Aside from this the rest of the experience has been pleasant and I would recommend trying this location for yourself. Thank you for take the time to read my review, much appreciated.

This location is a Long John Silvers and Taco Bell. It’s pretty much what you’d expect from a fast food chain, inexpensive items and a consistent taste. Overall the food is good, service is good, the location itself is a bit outdated, could maybe use a refresher. Never seems to be too busy when I’ve gone.

Mostly I'm writing this review so it's posted somewhere that this is no long a Long John Silvers location. Visited today (June 2023) and was informed they're done with LJS. I don't know if that means all combo locations or just this one. So as a taco bell, it's average. Not great, not bad. Service is usually quick.

Service was slow and the staff didn't seem to know how to charge for the coupons we had. We were told there was no chicken and magically 2 chicken dinners were served. We had one fish meal brought out about 20 minutes after we got the 1st meal. Conversely the food was good if not quite hot enough because of the slow service. I give it 3 stars because I like their fish and coleslaw.

This place is hit or miss when the fish, fries and chicken are fresh, it's good! But you can tell when the food has been sitting around in the warmers, and I have had both experiences. But the employees are always friendly and courteous.

Stopped by for a quick lunch yesterday. It was just before noon. We were one of 2 cars in drive-thru. Employees were great, but the food was not. Everything was cold and old.....fries, chicken planks and hush puppies...all cold and chewy. We figured at lunch things would be fresh and hot, but we were sadly disappointed.

I’m disappointed because it’s rare that i get to have long Johns for dinner. I hate coming here because I’m always missing something.. I got the combo with one fish, chicken and 2 shrimp. I didn’t get any shrimp. I also ordered 2 extra chicken for my daughter for $3.98 and a side of fries for her for $2.49.. I didn’t get either of these so I had to give her my food and ended up eating ramen☹️ I basically just gave them my hard earned money for free… $61 down the drain.. yea, dinner for 5 is $60+ and for what???? Not going here again.

The quality of the food has really gone down. My husband tried to surprise me with the Feast for Two! The food was so disgusting that I had to leave the room to call Famous Dave’s to request information to report my dining experience to Famous Dave. Edwin, the manager on duty was of little help and he did not sound like he cared! A nice surprise gone bad by TERRIBLE food from “Famous Dave’s”! What a waste of time and $70.74.

First of all, the staff was very great. They got our order in and out quickly. Now for the food… Famous Dave’s? It should be Infamous Dave’s. I’m surprised there isn’t a warrant out for his arrest. The food looked like it’d been doing hard time under a heat lamp, the brisket was cut too thick and was blander than a court transcript, and the sides felt like an afterthought at best. In short, the service deserved five stars—but the food? It should probably be serving five to ten.

1/5 stars: Horrible food and incredibly rude management ruined our first visit. Our first and only time at Famous Dave's was a complete disappointment due to a severe combination of bad food and rude managerial behavior. The only positive part of our experience was our kind and sweet server, who was attentive and a bright spot in an otherwise terrible evening. We ordered the feast for two and were served inedible meat. The chicken was slimy, undercooked, and had a pink appearance. The ribs were dried out. The brisket was grossly undercooked and still had significant, uncooked marbling. When our compassionate server took our concerns to the manager, we were forced to wait an unnecessarily long time for a response. The manager eventually came to our table and was incredibly rude and dismissive. She sternly declared, "I'll take it off for you this time, but the food was actually fine," without offering any apologies or an option for a replacement. The manager's disrespectful and defensive tone showed a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction or food safety. We would have appreciated the food being replaced, but we were never given the option. For a first impression, this experience was beyond terrible. We will not be returning.

I just got a pound of pulled pork and a pound of the jalapeno sausage link and they both are freaking delicious! Didn't dine in so I can't answer about atmosphere but definitely the best jalapeno sausage link I've had!

Always great service with Famous Dave's, we use the Costco gift cards, 25% off right now

Service was unbelievable. First we waited for an hour . We finally sat down . No one knew who are server was, 20 minutes later a guy walks over and says it will be another hour for food . We ordered cheese curds. Took 50 minutes and they came out right before our food. Frozen cheese curds out of a bag for 11.25 ridiculous . So much for birthday dinner . Very disappointed. Making Togo orders a precedence over customers that are in the restaurant is wrong . Corn overcooked, pulled pork dried out, everything else on the All American platter was good.

Always delicious and friendly service. This location had a perfect score from a food inspector as shown on AZ Family Channel 3 recently. Congrats!

We were seated promptly at our reservation time, waitress was very nice and prompt with our drinks. The teppanyaki chef was awesome and hilarious. Fun for large crowds but if you like your meal all hot and served at once this isnt for you everything comes out in stages lots of waiting for your complete meal.

The evening was going well, stopped into this location for dinner, and then the restaurant absolutely fell apart after ordering. Apparently the owner had stopped in, and absolutely wrecked. The flow, and ticket times were through the roof! Roof! Hour and 45 minutes later finally got our order. And our baked sushi was wrong, so getting it redone was going to be another hour! Our server was great, but this owner earned every bit of this one star review! Sent the food back, and still paid, because I feel bad for the staff and tipped very generously as I could see what they were going through. Totally unacceptable and avoidable. Very regretful.

Great food and atmosphere. The chef was fun and the waitress was attentive. Overall a good experience. However, I read that it was complimentary to tip both the waitress and chef individually so i did. (The hibachi left long before the bill came out as to give you time to eat). However gratuity was also calculated into the bill itself, which if i had known before hand I would have tipped less than I had since I was being charged an extra $40 on the bill. I did see online that typically gratuity was added on parties of 8+, and we were 7. (One of us didn't actually eat any entrees and just sat there so more like 6) I guess maybe I should've seen it coming? Great experience but I felt a bit blind sided by the gratuity charge at the end as I didn't see any signs or anything in the actual resturant. This was my first time going so if you're new just be aware of the gratuity charge before you start being generous.

Awesome sushi experience. They have the option to either dine in or eat at the grill where they cook in front of you. I had the Las Vegas roll and it was awesome . The place had a good vibe and also had a nice bar.

Nice atmosphere and good food. Generous portions. Didn't get a chance to try any Sushi thus time but the temppenyaki was good. Great flavor.

We had decided on sushi for a celebration of paying off some debts and decided to try somewhere new. Definitely a place we will try again. We did the Arizona roll, the Super Trooper roll (because we're those people) and the Desert Canyon Roll They were all so good and we thought about getting more nit instead talked about all the rolls we want to try when we come next. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and fast, and the menu had a good variety.

We were a table of 6 at the teppanyakii area for my wife's birthday. We had a great chef at our table. Really engaged my kids and in laws. The food was delicious and cooked to temperature that was requested. My daughter and I had med rare steaks and my mother in law had a med well steak.

We had a wonderful birthday celebration! We ate steak, lamb, fish, oysters and so much more. Jessie took great care of us. She answered all our questions and was very attentive. Her team removed plates as we finished each item. We never felt hurried. I will need to go back to try the dishes we didn’t order today.

Food, service and atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered the calamari, clam chowder, a 12 oz filet with mushrooms and AG mashed potatoes, and finished with the butter cake and crème brûlée. Everything tasted wonderful. Aimee took great care of us and made the whole dinner feel extra enjoyable. We really appreciated her warm and attentive service.

Outstanding Experience at Arrowhead Grill! Had an amazing dinner at Arrowhead Grill! I ordered the steak and loaded baked potato, both were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the potato was packed with all the good stuff. I also had a couple of martinis, and the bartender nailed them, perfectly mixed and served with a smile. The service was spot on from start to finish, attentive, friendly, and professional. You can tell the staff really cares about providing a great dining experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for top-notch food, drinks, and service. Will definitely be back!

The food was excellent and came out surprisingly fast for an upscale dining experience. The crab cakes were absolutely TO DIE FOR; I might just make them my meal next time.

We chose Arrowhead Grill for our anniversary dinner, expecting a top-tier experience, but left feeling underwhelmed. The clam chowder and steak were decent, but far from spectacular. At $80 for a Kansas City strip, the pricing felt excessive — especially considering the steak wasn't cooked to our requested temperature and had to be sent back to be heated more. Service was passable but not particularly attentive or memorable. For the premium price point, we expected both the food and service to be more polished. While the ambiance was nice enough for a special occasion, there are definitely better steakhouses in the Valley that offer comparable or better food at more reasonable prices. Overall, it was a fine night, but not one we’d rush to repeat.

The tomahawk steak was so tender and delicious. Our server was Todd and he made our 36th anniversary special by having petals in our table, having our warm butter cake ready after our meal, gave us an anniversary card and just the friendly attention he gave us. We go every year for birthdays and our anniversary .... this place never disappoints.

If I could get 6 stars I would! We went to celebrate a special occasion tonight and we were not disappointed. Aimee provided excellent service and the food was incredible! We tried the lamb chops, the fillet, and the lobster mashed potatoes and have not stopped talking about how good it was! We will be celebrating more special occasions here!
