Lake Pleasant Regional Park

(8396)
Park
Lake Pleasant Regional Park is a vast recreational area that offers a variety of activities such as boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and picnicking. The park features the 2-mile long Wild Burro Trail which meanders through low hills and along the shores of intimate coves. Visitors are captivated by the sparkling blue waters dotted with ducks, kayaks, and sailboats set against a backdrop of desert scenery.
What a blast we had at Lake Pleasant. It was a short trip from our resort in Peoria, and heard it was a nice place to explore! We saw burros galore, and many of them came up to our car, which was shocking and we loved it. Paved road with several areas to explore trails, swim, day use picnic tables with shade, a nature center, and camping options. We went two days in a row hoping to see more burros and do more exploring. Really neat place to visit!

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!
Alex T — Google review
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.

Performing arts theater
Nestled in Peoria, Arizona, the Arizona Broadway Theatre (ABT) is a charming venue that brings the magic of live Broadway-style musicals to life. This not-for-profit organization is committed to enhancing community experiences through performing arts while offering an exceptional dining experience alongside its shows. Whether you're planning a romantic evening out, a fun family gathering, or celebrating a special occasion, ABT provides an inviting atmosphere perfect for all.
We absolutely loved this theatre. It was our first visit whilst holidaying in Arizona. We went to see Beautiful, the Carole King musical, it was brilliant. The experience of having a meal served before the show and then watching the show from the table was totally different to us and thoroughly enjoyable. The meal was excellent as well. What we loved as well was that the cast came into the foyer after the show to meet the audience. It was lovely to chat with the performers and congratulate them on a brilliant show.

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!

Fun & Games
Sports complex
The Peoria Sports Complex is a venue that hosts spring training for two major baseball teams in addition to local leagues and events. Although it may be slightly older than other sports complexes, it still offers a pleasant experience with amenities such as a playground for children and a small splash area. The seating area is equipped with misters to keep visitors cool while enjoying the surroundings. Furthermore, the complex boasts plenty of food and drink options, although not all concessions may be operational due to staffing issues.
We were glad we accompanied our neighbor, a diehard Seattle Mariners fan, to a spring training game at this fun Peoria Cactus League stadium on a beautiful March day. The spacious, all-outdoor midway is a testament to the typically great weather this time of year. There’s every kind of stadium food you could possibly want, and a wide selection of beers, though I couldn’t find a non-alcoholic offering. Of course I had a hot dog with plenty of mustard, and peanuts in the shell, and a soft pretzel with mustard (I can never have too much mustard). The seats were comfy, with good elbow room, ample knee room, and a sufficient rake that the head of the guy in front of you doesn’t block your view of a critical play at a critical moment. The grassy area beyond left field is great for picnicking, and it’s probably where the dogs go on the Bark at the Park days. The green grass is almost like a continuation of the left fields grass. Bring your glove, as home runs would land here. There’s a huge TV screen behind the grassy area and a tented area with seating to its left (looking out from home plate). There’s also a pirate ship playground area for kids. Unfortunately, my friend’s Mariners lost but it was a very fun day. Highly recommended.

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.

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!
Greg H — Google review
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!
Christina O — Google review
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

Peoria Town Center

Shopping mall
Peoria Town Center is a delightful destination to explore, especially if you're looking to enjoy some live entertainment. One of its highlights is the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, an intimate 250-seat theater that has been showcasing a variety of stage performances and musical productions since its opening in 2006. Visitors often rave about the friendly and helpful staff, making your experience even more enjoyable. While it was once a bustling hub for shows, it's worth noting that some venues have closed down over time.
Pretty decent place to get women’s and children’s clothing shoes, shirts dress clothes etc.. They also have small amounts of men’s clothing. If you are on the beefier broad shoulders/muscular or on the heavier side this establishment is not for you. Women will do better shopping here even with the info stated above. They also carry some man stuff like outdoor side carts for grilling, record players same brands big and small. I do recommend going here for the hunt of finding treasures.

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.

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!

Love Long John Silvers!! This particular location is my favorite because the employees are always courteous and professional….they actually use the digital order screen by asking you to look at your order on the screen and confirm it is correct….i love that because that puts any errors back on you as long as they put what’s on the screen in your bag and I’ve never gotten an incorrect order from this location. Also this location seems to be so fast that every time I’m like….dang, my order is ready this quick? Yup!! I’d recommend this location as they are quick and delicious and a nice group of employees!

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.

Barbecue restaurant
Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que Peoria-Glendale is a BBQ chain outlet that offers wood-smoked meats and sides in a themed American West setting. The restaurant has received positive feedback regarding their attentive and friendly waiter, Nate, who was personable, engaging, patient, and had only been on the job for three days.
Excellent food and great service. We started with the happy hour wings and fried pickles, a really good deal, then we both had the 3 meat plate. The brisket, burnt ends, and ribs were all very tasty. The loaded mashed potatoes and Wilbur beans were very good as well. The bread pudding for the dessert was warm, sweet, and well worth trying. Very good quality food at a reasonable price.
Chris R — Google review
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.
Harmony H — Google review
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.

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.

Ah-So Sushi & Steak

Teppanyaki restaurant
Ah-So Sushi & Steak is a contemporary Japanese restaurant that has been delighting diners since 1996. With its stylish lounge decor, it offers a diverse menu featuring not only sushi but also an array of cooked dishes, complemented by a selection of fine wines and cocktails. This eatery caters to both sushi enthusiasts and those seeking delicious meals in a vibrant atmosphere.
Really enjoyed our dinner at Ah-So. It’s a tempenyaki experience where they cook in-front of you which is cool. We were seated right away and had made reservations in advance. We wanted to be sure we’d get a spot to do the tempenyaki. Our server was very nice and attentive. We ordered drinks and edemame to start. The edemame were good but they were dipped in the spicy sauce a lot so they were tasty. We also got the Sapporo beer. For the tenpenyaki dinner it comes with salad soup vegetables and fried rice and you just choose the protein. We selected the chicken steak and shrimp combination. The food was cooked well and tasted good. The chef did a great job with the entertainment. All in all it was a good time.

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.

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.

Steak house
Arrowhead Grill is an upscale restaurant located in Glendale, offering a contemporary dining experience with a full bar. The menu, curated by executive chef Charles Wade Schwerd, features premium steaks and seafood. The restaurant prides itself on serving tender, well-marbled meat that has been sustainably raised on corn and alfalfa. In addition to the delectable steaks, patrons can enjoy a variety of expertly prepared sides.
I returned after a few years and everything is as good as I remember except the prices...as can be expected. We did a little happy hour reunion meet up in the bar area, which went into the night. The small plates were perfect: crispy beans and meatballs, and we ended with that rich dessert you see pictured below! Our servers were excellent. The bar area can be loud so if you want privacy and a mellow mood, I suggest the dining area. I will definitely return soon and not wait another few years!

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!

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!

Day 2

Off the beaten path
For day 2, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Park West. Not quite as popular as Peoria Sports Complex, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 8 hours.

Shopping mall

Toy store
Park West is a vibrant open-air shopping and entertainment destination that offers a delightful mix of familiar chain retailers, diverse dining options, and an impressive 14-screen Harkins Movie Theater. Whether you're looking to escape the heat or enjoy some winter festivities, Park West has you covered with its year-round events like the weekly Farmer's Market and seasonal celebrations.
There are so many good stores and services at this complex. It is well worth a visit. The restaurants are great also. Parking can be tight but there is plenty, it just won’t be at the front door of the store you want to visit. Lots of Tesla charger stations. I have never been there when all chargers are full, but all close parking is taken many times. Still great stores/ services/restaurants and a convenient location just off the 101.

This has become our go-to plaza. It’s always clean, good food, pretty good coffee and pastries around, and the splash pad for the kids. It can get packed at times but it is still nice!

We love this area of businesses. Harkins movies has remodeled this location, added the Cine XL experience (we highly recommended for action movies). Also the restaurants are many and most enjoyable. Handles ice cream is great for a summer treat as well. I recommend checking it all out, as they have evening activities for the family on Friday/Saturday every so often.
Mr B — Google review
Beautiful shopping area, probably one of the nicest in the east valley, but they need to do something about the parking situation on Saturdays. They block off a significant portion of the lot for a night vendor market, for vendors who have nothing to do with the businesses trying to get by so they can stay in business. Move the vendor market to a location that has ample parking for everyone. For example, I've been here on a weekday morning to go to Hash Kitchen and had to drive around for a long time looking for a parking spot because that side has a very small parking lot. (We ended up parking behind Bath & Body Works and walking over.) Parking is already limited and then they block it off on the biggest shopping day of the week. Your businesses are losing the weekend shoppers who will just go shop somewhere else that has available parking.

Since all the new development is done on Northern Av, it is very hard to get to the mall, way too much traffic. Shops there are great, eating establishment better than most in the West Valley, but this traffic situation... no good, very, very bad. So sad.

Park West is great except the smell. It's pretty bad sometimes & does deter me from wanting to eat there. It has some great places but let's hope they fix the smell soon. Hash / Grimaldi's / Cold Beer & Cheeseburger / Fleming's & Sciciilan Butcher are my favorites.

This is a super cool park! I was super impressed with the playground equipment as it was easy for me to play, and climb with my kiddo. There’s a pond with plenty of ducks, super fun slides and different things to climb. They have a toddler playground with a tube which I thought was super cool. They have a splash pad, but it’s not working at the moment. They have water fountains and restrooms. I didn’t enter the restrooms. I would definitely visit this park again.

Legend Acres hosts weekly dog training classes at Ramada 5 in Peoria Pioneer Community Park, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The park itself is a gem, offering a spacious and well-maintained environment that is perfect for our training sessions. Ramada 5 provides an ideal setting with its shaded areas and ample room for dogs to learn and socialize comfortably. The park's facilities are well-equipped, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable training experience for both dogs and their owners. Working with the Peoria Parks and Recreation team has been fantastic; they are accommodating and supportive, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere for our classes. The park's location and amenities make it convenient for participants, and the overall ambiance encourages a positive learning environment. Whether you're attending a beginner obedience class or a specialized workshop, Peoria Pioneer Community Park Ramada 5 offers everything needed for a successful training session. We highly recommend this location for anyone looking to enhance their bond with their canine companion. Five stars for the excellent facilities and collaboration with Peoria Parks and Recreation!

Smells like a ranch. Short walk around the lake not sure of the distance maybe a quarter-mile. Pretty cool little pond lots of people fishing not sure if they were catching. Good view of some foothills in the distance. The dog park looked clean and pretty quiet for a Thursday afternoon. There were several parts to it that were fenced off. Public restrooms with water fountains fairly clean. Lots of picnic tables and also picnic tables with barbecues. Large playground for children with seating for parents. It looks like there’s quite a few baseball fields all clustered together and a very large open field right next to that. There is tons of parking Space separated into several different parking lots. Lots of info signs all over.

We recently booked my son’s birthday party here and had the best experience a mother could ask for. The manager who was present on Friday, 9/20 (didn't catch her name), but she helped me get settled and even made sure my special requests were met. Management was so pleasant, and our party host (Alexis Spencer) went above and beyond. Our host helped us take pictures, passed out the food, personally made our additional orders, and helped us whenever needed. Thank you, Alexis, for being such a sweetheart and making our party an excellent experience. The activities were so fun. My family booked for ten kids, and although some kids didn't show up, management informed us we could replace those jumpers with adults, which was a blessing. And let's just say we had a blast. Thanks, Sky Zone Peroia. We really appreciate you guys!

Worst service ever. We have been coming here for years. We showed up on a super hot summer day. My son brought in food not realizing he couldn't and not a bid deal. I asked if he could eat quickly by the door so he would not make a mess but did not have to stand out in the 112 degree heat. The manager was extremely rude and had no sense of consideration. We understand policy but there is also a lot to be said by common decency.

Would’ve given two stars due to the fact that this is our first bad pizza from Grimaldi’s at Park West. However, I’m writing this 10 minutes after pickup, and we live at one of the nearby properties. I’m not sure if it was coincidence or quality control issues, but their take on a buffalo chicken pizza was a colossal failure. The pizza was wet, and sloshing around. Not sure as to why it was this horrendous, but the quality and the flavor was shame for over $30 and being promised at a certain time. Do better. Your products aren’t cheap, so this was unacceptable.
Jose O — Google review
We tried to come here to celebrate my birthday and Father’s Day and we stood around for an hour staring at an open table for exactly the number of our party and the hostesses refused to seat us, claiming another party was ahead of us, yet there was NO other party of 7 or more in the stifling hot waiting area. There are about a dozen other pizza places within a five mile radius that wouldn’t do this sort of thing to customers who have been waiting this long. We will never return to Grimaldis which is a shame since this is a restaurant we’ve had celebrations at for well over a decade.
Katie B — Google review
If you are primarily only serving pizza, it should be the best pizza around. The truth is, it is not very good at all. The center was not cooked, the toppings were sparse, lacked flavor and it was way overpriced. In addition, we could tell that there was too long of a time gap between it exiting the oven and being served to our table. It should have been piping hot. It was not and quickly became cold as we were eating. When offered a box, we refused and left the crap on the table. The heartburn was already settling in. After nearly $70 spent on a so-called 16" pizza, two Pepsi's and one slice of cheesecake to go, it was certainly an insult to be served such sub par food. Even the fountain pepsi wasn't mixed right... It was definitely a first and last visit.
Tina K — Google review
The food was delicious! The service was fine, not super attentive. We really enjoyed The Don pizza and the Garden Ranch Salad. The salad was missing the croutons, which we didn't notice right away, but once we let the waitress know she got them for us. We got the small salad to share, which is perfect for two people to share. We got the largest pizza so we could have leftovers. The pizza isn't as good leftover because the crust gets a bit chewy, but the flavor is still very good.

First and foremost I want to thank the entire team for being so kind and courteous. We’re visiting from El Paso, TX so this was our first dining experience at Fleming’s and man… We were blown away. First of all I must confess we were late for our reservation because we went to the wrong location. I shamelessly called to ask the hostess if it would be OK for us to be a few minutes late and she graciously said, don’t you worry. So right off the bat, thank you so much for accommodating our clumsiness. We were fortunate to have Cesar as our server and his attention to detail was exceptional. What started as a cool birthday surprise dinner, became an amazing experience. Thank you all so much and we will definitely visit you again when we return. Salud!

I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Fleming’s, until now. I ordered the French Dip Filet with fries, and unfortunately, it just wasn’t good. I asked for no salt on the fries, but they came salted anyway, so I couldn’t eat them. The steak wasn’t seasoned and was a bit greasy. Some parts were tough, and overall, the sandwich lacked flavor, it mostly tasted like greasy steak with onions. Even the au jus didn’t help. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this sandwich at all.

Fleming’s is definitely an experience you need to have! The food and service were both excellent. It’s definitely on the higher-end side, but absolutely worth it for anniversaries, birthdays, or any special occasion. I had the petite filet mignon — cooked perfectly and seasoned just right — and the shareable sides were the perfect portions. Oh, and the wine was amazing too! 🍷 Highly recommend!

Denny's is a beloved casual diner chain that serves up classic American comfort food, including all-day breakfast favorites that cater to every craving. My recent visit to the Denny's on Grand Ave in Peoria, AZ, was truly delightful thanks to the exceptional service from Maureen. Her warm smile and infectious energy made me feel right at home as she ensured my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.
Kim was our waitress on Father’s Day and she was excellent! We had a great time for a large party of 11 people and kids. She took great care of us and we enjoyed our meal so much. I hope Dennys sees my review and gives our waitress Kim recognition, she deserves it! Thank you Kim!!!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Denny’s on Grand Ave in Peoria, AZ, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server, Maureen, for making it so memorable! From the moment we walked in, Maureen greeted us with a warm, genuine smile that instantly made us feel welcome. Her energy was infectious, and she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Maureen was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, checking in just at the right moments to refill drinks and see if we wanted anything else. She knew the menu inside and out, offering great recommendations that hit the spot—my Chococana breakfast was cooked to perfection, thanks to her suggestion to try it with the seasonal pancakes! She even took the time to chat with us, sharing a bit of local charm and making the meal feel like more than just dining out. The service was fast, the food was delicious, and Maureen’s attention to detail made the whole experience stand out. She handled our table with such care and professionalism, all while keeping a friendly and upbeat attitude. If you’re stopping by this Denny’s, ask for Maureen—you won’t be disappointed! I’ll definitely be back, and I’m already looking forward to her top-notch service again. Five stars all the way!

Cleanliness and service make or break a restaurant. Service today broke this restaurant. We entered with two tables occupied and were ignored for several minutes. Just standing there. The woman (Skylynn) at the cash register never said a word. She finished ringing out that customer, then walked away. Another woman (Tara) was cleaning an area not 5 feet from us, but never lifted her head until WE said something. We got a "just a minute". There we stood, as sweeping is much more important than seating the elderly. When finally seated, the attitude of both women was awful. Not a smile, not an engaging inquiry. In fact, when our food arrived the plates were placed on the outside edge of the table without so much as a " can I get you anything else", nor a "here you go." It wasn't just with us. A couple of tables were seated and received the same pathetic attitude. They were like robots. If these two wanted to work in my business they'd have to improve their customer service 100%. You've got some great staff: Kimberly, now Marcus, and the Hispanic manager, or assistant manager who's name I can't recall. But this Sunday early evening the waitstaff sucked. The cook did a great job!! We should have tipped the cook, the waitress got what she deserved, not a penny more!!! TALK TO YOUR STAFF ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. ACTUALLY, LET KIMBERLY OR THE HISPANIC FEMALE MANAGER TALK WITH THEM. Some days your staff are the only humans your elderly patrons interact with. Show your ability to greet them, ask how they are, interact. Soon robots will replace your staff (if the new owners don't close this store). I'll bet the robots will be programmed for decent interactions.

Maureen was absolutely fantastic! She provided lightning-fast service, ensuring my orders were taken and delivered promptly. Her attentiveness was top-notch—she checked on me regularly to make sure everything was perfect. Maureen also went above and beyond by recommending exciting new menu items. Highly recommend requesting Maureen for exceptional service!

Maureen was a wonderfully pleasant server. She joked around with us at times and gave us time to enjoy our meal without rushing us either. I watched her greet a regular customer as she confirmed his usual order. She was entering it into the system before he even made it to his table! Talk about attention to detail! I also loved that the bathroom was pleasantly clean and fully stocked. Again, attention to detail! Sure makes a difference to me!

We came in on a busy Saturday morning. We were sat promptly and the GM got our drunk order and brought them over quickly. Amber was our server and was very pleasant, friendly, and all smiles during every interaction. Amber was very intuitive and table touched frequently. We didn’t have to ask for anything. Overall, a pretty good experience.

One Word: WELCOMING. That’s the soul of this Denny’s location. Why? Because Marcus and Taffari turned a random 2AM Friday visit into something borderline cinematic. I came in just to work on my laptop, not even hungry—until Marcus, the Jedi of customer service, gently mind-tricked me into realizing I was. He didn’t push a sale. He cared. He pointed out the breakfast-for-dinner options, even flagged the $5 deal in case I got hungry later. Spoiler: I did. Because breakfast-for-dinner is my all-time favorite meal—eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns, any configuration, any time. As I’m typing, the music shifts to “I Love the Nightlife (Disco Round)”—1978, my favorite year ever. I was nine. My dad and I had a great run that year. That song? Cherry on top of a surreal, almost magical visit. Then enters Chef Taffari, rocking the double-oven like a culinary ninja. Over-easy dunky eggs, crisp hash browns, toast—zero grease, maximum flavor. I scarfed it down like a man possessed. My tummy? Blissed out. My spirit? Lifted. Marcus kept the hospitality flowing even after the plate was clean. These two didn’t just serve food—they shifted my whole trajectory tonight. Honestly, they were so nice I started wondering if I’d wandered into Narnia or some alternate universe where kindness is suspiciously abundant. Cinderfella vibes, for real. But jokes aside, Marcus fed my mind and spirit. Taffari fed my soul through my stomach. If you hit this Denny’s on a Saturday at 1AM, you won’t just get a meal—you’ll get a moment.

Driftwood Coffee Co.

$$$$cheap
Coffee shop
Nestled in the charming Old Town Peoria, Driftwood Coffee Co. is a beloved local spot with a strong community focus. The owners, Luke Bentley and Lance Linderman, take pride in offering an impressive selection of coffee made from locally and nationally sourced beans. From classic espresso drinks to specialty options like French Press and Chemex, there's something for every coffee enthusiast. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a delightful place to savor your favorite brew.
The young lady barista is nice and friendly. I like the atmosphere here. Nice patio :) I mostly stayed inside here because it is hot outside. I’m excited for coming here in fall, winter, and spring. Coffee tastes like medium roasted with a little bit of acidity. Nice, clean, and spacious bathroom. Easy to park as well so far for me.

Super cute coffee shop with the right vibes to hang out or study or read or whatever you want! I will say, the coffee is SUPER expensive but very good. I enjoyed my latte and I want to try other items as well. The service was great; everyone is super friendly and nice and my drink was made quickly and correctly. I like how they took an old building in an older, historic part of town and really revitalized it and made it hip and trendy. This is a coffee shop you should definitely check out.

The Baristas were super friendly and took my order right away. They also helped me decide what I wanted! It’s a cute little coffee shop that isn’t wildly busy and is in the heart of Downtown Peoria. It would be a good place to do computer work or study for classes. It has a nice patio outside that you can enjoy your drink and the weather for when it cools down!

I wanted caffeine free coffee & sold by the pound, so I visited Driftwood Coffee Co. I tasted their coffee at Biscuits restaurant in Peoria & the coffee was so smooth. I bought a bag at Biscuits, but wanted more only in decaf. I found Biscuits supplier & visited there. The staff was wonderful & so helpful. They don't sell it retail by the pound. The young lady that was there apologized & offered me a gift card for $5 for when I was visiting Peoria again, since I live so far away. She also gave me free blueberry tea (decaf). It was a cute place & clean. I only gave it 4 stars for food because they didn't have what I needed.

Very cute, community oriented coffee shop that serves really solid coffee. I purposefully tried some of the specials while in town and left impressed by the flavor and creativity.

The coffee is true to its taste, we got the Honey Lavender Latte & Caramel Latte. Both tasted like actual coffee. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. We went around 1pm on a weekend.

A lovely place, with staff that is happy to have you, and willing to work on the fly to get you what you need, like me with my London Fog request, even if it wasn't on the menu. Just lovely locale overall as well. Worth a pop in, even for just a quick coffee, it'll be a pleasant experience.
