For the most part the menu is divided into three sections; appetizers, soups and salads, and burgers and sandwiches. This is not your average burger joint however! The choices are enormous for all of the categories and if that was not enough the burger section is truly build your own from the type of burger (13 types to choose from including non-meat selections), 8 kinds of buns, cheese, toppings, sauces, and more. Fortunately they do offer prebuilt selections as well and I went for the Pinnacle Salmon burger which turned out to be the most amazing salmon burger I have ever tasted -- period. Before the burger I had a cup of the Kickin' Crab Corn Chowder which was wonderful -- but a cup? What they call a cup would be a bowl in any place I am used to. In general the portions are very large considering the prices and our table over ordered selecting a couple of appetizers to try as well. The Chips & Guacamole are very good, the Tomato & Mozzarella is outstanding, and the Pinnacle Fries are awesome. It seems that most places that try to be incredibly flexible with their menus and are generous with their portions compromise somewhere on quality to get there. The Pinnacle Grill, however, seems to be an exception where quality, flexibility, and quantity come together in a truly amazing combination. If you are anywhere in the area do make this a stop - you will certainly be glad you did. read more

When ever I want a great burger and fries, I know I'm going to Pinnacle Grill. Every thing I've tried from the menu has been excellent. Breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't go wrong. read more

Decided to try out this place and we (all 4 ) of us went over the weekend. We sat outside and it was very comfortable. The service was excellent as was the host. Nice wine selection although a little pricey but not too much to choose from in the area. The food was tasty with no complaints from the crew with one exception. If you are going to order a chicken meal be prepared to grab a slice of pizza up the street on the way home. For and Italian restaurant the portions seemed like from a children's menu and about half of what you would expect from any other restaurant in town. With that said if you are not that hungry I highly recommend the place ,otherwise travel a little bit further to come out feeling full. read more

I am not sure where any of these good reviews are coming from !!! We have been going there as locals since the day they opened. Under this new owner I have yet to get one single good (decent) meal......I have given them countless opportunity, in fact I have made suggestions to the menu and the food which has fallen on deaf ears. They just don't care, they know it's the only quick, casual place for miles and are 100 % taking advantage of that. I will go there for a drink every now and again but I will NEVER again eat anything that comes out of that kitchen. read more

This is a great place to eat! Excellent service excellent food. We've eaten lunch here on a regular basis. Went for the special meatloaf Sunday night and it was outstanding. Highly recommend this place. read more

We have frequented pinnacle Grill for years and have watched the food and service go down hill. Tonight was enough to prompt me to tell you about this experience. We ordered a shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and midway through it our lukewarm order of linguini & meatballs arrived with very little sauce and no spoon for the pasta. The only saving grace was the bread pudding. This may not sound like a bad experience but when you add the total of a bottle of fine wine, dinner and a hefty gratuity it was not worth the price. Sorry but after years of going with the flow of disappointing dinners this is too much. We will spread the word so our friends do not get caught up in this disappointing experience.

Had a delicious meal in this hidden gem! The young man (Colson) who helped seat us was very courteous, helped us with our drinks and even checked on us. Its so nice to see young teenagers be so professional and genuinely seek to give good service like him! The service was wonderful! The food was truly fantastic with a wonderful glass of wine. Highly recommend! read more

Waiter was nice but lousy service and management doesn't care. Disappointed that we were visiting from out of town and didn't enjoy our meal or the ambience. Very pricey. read more

Great service and food! I'm so happy to have found this little restaurant gem. Prices are also reasonable for their high quality menu. Two thumbs read more

Have been here before but have never sat outside. Had Eddie as our server tonight and he was AMAZING!! So attentive and all around great service. Also the Calamari is so good! Unfortunately didn't capture a photo of it because it was gone... read more

Pinnacle Grille - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We used to live in Troon so are used to very little options in the Pinnacle Peak area. We've dinned with PG probably 8-9 times over the past 18 months. The food can be really good but would LOVE to see more consistency in the kitchen. My favorite grilled chicken sandwich never comes out the same. Sometimes as dry as leather, and sometimes juicy and delicious. We've also been overcharged by "take out" as the hostess didn't understand what we ordered. Not a big deal. Wait times leave a ton to be desired. I feel like they could be so good if they just tightened up their processes. read more

Some food items good. Others not so good. Terrific burgers. I've had salmon with risotto that was delicious. I've also had the French Dip sandwich that was awful. My wife had the chicken that supposedly came with a Greek salad. How does lettuce and tomato make a Greek salad? No Kalamata olives. No feta cheese. Their bread pudding for dessert is very good and a huge serving. Not a bad place, and for cuisine in Phoenix it's on the better side, but this isn't a complete winner by any means. read more

I was so disappointed by the poor reviews for this restaurant because we've always had amazing food and service. for those of us that live out here we don't have many restaurants close to us that aren't extremely pricey or very limited food options so it is so great to have a place that offers so many options at great prices around this area! The place was redone within the past year, so if you haven't been back since, it is a much nicer atmosphere! The outdoor patio is heated and comfortable. The menu is HUGE. i mean they have absolutely anything you can think of. usually i am not a fan of these types of restaurants because the food is always average but I have to say every meal i've had here has been really good! The burger, pasta, and salad dishes are my favorite. They also have many create your own dishes so they can accommodate to anything you want. Although the huge menu might be nice for some people I think it's a little overwhelming and wish they would focus in on what they are best at! We will be back due to the location and the very good food. Service has always been great, and prices are decent! read more

we loved the "old" Pinnacle Grill... for the past two years now. But over the last two months the food has declined and tonight even basic drinks from the bar were an absolute nightmare. our waiter was wonderful and tried his best to make things right (he deserves a huge raise for his loyalty and commitment) but in the end, for the price, we will not be back. read more

This place was very bad, service was awful, food took way too long and was not good nor was it cooked correctly. We had to go find the waiter several times and then had to get a manager. When we asked for a manager they told us there was no manager here until 4 and that our waiter was in training. I will never come here again. read more

Not sure what has happened to this place, the food has gone down hill this past year. Tried multiple dishes and none were quite right. They might get their act together but fir now I'll keep my distance and try again in a few months read more

This is a good neighborhood restaurant with a big menu. The patio is really big with lots of heaters. They do allow dogs on the patio. The people here are very friendly. The burgers are reliably good. The salads are huge. Generally its a good place to go if you didn't plan dinner and now everyone is hungry. Their lunches are good also. Not expensive. We loved hiking Pinnacle Peak and then stopping at Pinnacle Grille for a bite to restore our energy. Last year they renovated the inside and its very inviting with a great bar, sports on the TVs and new and fresh bathrooms. Overall a good place for lunch or dinner. read more

Huge menu, decent service in a no frills neighborhood place. Was not overly impressed but food was ok. Might try one more time, as the place was full in middle of summer on Saturday evening? read more

Atmosphere great. Service good. Many options available for locals to choose from. Full bar.

So after 30 days of being quarantine for COVID-19, my wife and I craved steak and ribs that we did not have to prepare. My neighbor across the street recommended pinnacle Grille. I placed the order for pick up and did not know what to expect. Oh my goodness! The ribs were spectacular! They claim they fall off the bone and they did. The ribeye steak was prepared just like ordered and was delicious. Pinnacle Grille: thank you for stepping up your game during these challenging times. We will be back! read more

We came in from a morning of rock climbing and sat in the bar. The bar tender was not at all attentive; he kept leaving for long periods of time tending other folks that were not dressed in hiking attire.(we were in nice climbing attire). We ordered 2 meals, grilled cheese with bacon and fries and French dip with salad. The salad was very plain and from a bag. The French dip was prepared as the hospital French dip I expeienced in recent past. Nothing at all to write home about. The grilled cheese came out without the bacon. No one offered condiments. We realized the grilled cheese had no bacon so we sent it back. It was returned a bit later. Same sandwich, just opened up and soggy cold bacon applied. Cruddy. Same fries came back as well, now colder. Bottom line, hospital and school cafeteria might fare you better!!! read more

Tip: Don't go here in the summer! Apparently the owners refuse to turn the AC on and it's sweltering inside the restaurant!

I am SO glad a friend put me on to this place.. The atmosphere is very relaxing but classy, reminds me of Europe. The service is exemplary.. and most importantly, the food is awesome. The liver and bacon is the best I've experienced in the US, the ribs are great, the steak is excellent.. The creme brulee was a little sweet for my palate, but still REALLY good (better than Ruth's Chris IMO), the Italian lemon cream cake is absolutely sublime! I'm not generally into sweets, but it's absolutely amazing. The bread pudding is excellent also (and I'm a Londoner, so I know). Oh, and appetizers! The wings are the best I've had anywhere, period. Crisp and tasty crust on the outside, moist and perfectly cooked on the inside, and with plenty of meat on them.. and probably the topper, ALL of this comes at VERY reasonable prices, especially during happy hour. HIGHLY recommend. read more

USE TO BE A FAVORITE OF OUR BUT NO MORE ! We are yr rounders and like supporting local places. Especially when the snowbirds leave but I guess it doesn't matter to some restaurants. We have left messages with concerns about their declining or unprofessional service but no response. I guess Pinnacle Grill thinks all is good - at least while the Snowbirds are here ! Now we eat later in the evening so maybe this is after the main management leaves but my wife put it best a couple weeks ago when she said the restaurant: THE RESTAURANT APPEARS TO BE MANAGED BY A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS ! Wait staff (not even our own) hovering over our table to pick up the paid check, no water service after the bill was paid, and one of the waiters bringing out the noisy vacuum right behind our booth as we were "Trying" to talk. When I mentioned something to him about how noisy he was, he looked at me like he had no clue what I was talking about. So I HOPE the management had left and this is not how the restaurant operated when the seasoned management is in the house. But then again, I won't know because they haven't responded to any of our other comments. read more

I stopped back in because I enjoy the food and drinks and wonderful atmosphere at the pinnacle Grille. I was so happy to hear good smooth quality music with her comfortable volume. So much more fitting for this excellent establishment. I look forward to going again regularly. read more

I've been coming here regularly for YEARS but after today I will never return. Hostess was so flat I felt like we were bothering her to be seated. Took 15 minutes before even seeing our young waiter who addressed customers as 'dude'. Had to ask 3 different staff 3x to get a water let alone our drinks. We should've left then. Never refilled coffee once, food came without 4 sides ordered. No silverware. Waiter walked off as we were still talking, asking for sides & silverware. He never returned with any sides, drink refill or silverware We rotated the with 3 young waiters and they were all rude spaced out kids. The final comment from one waiter was priceless "how'd you like the burrito? The cook just throws a bunch of crap in it". Marvelous... Overheard 3 other tables complaining they never even got menus after being seated 15 mins, etc. Many restaurants have disastrous days for understandable reasons but it wasn't busy & we had 3 waiters (?) who totally ignored everyone. Never again. read more

We have been going to the Pinnacle Grille as it is close to our home, but no more. Every time we eat there I have stomach problems the next day. This has gone on far too long. It is not a well run restaurant. read more

We've visited Pinnacle Grille many times pre- and post-facelift. Our experience is always the same: good food, awful service. The wait staff is both surly and slow. I realized on my recent visit, last weekend, that it's always the same experience here: It takes forever for the server to take drink orders They don't check on you after delivering food The drinks aren't refilled You have to ask for your server to get a check We used to chalk it up to someone having a bad day. But then we realized that every time we leave Pinnacle Grille we say the same thing, "Why do we come back?" read more

Well, Pinnacle Grille got a facelift and it and it does look nicer. Wow, the meals have really gone down hill. A year ago I gave 5 stars and now I'm only giving 2 because our service was okay. I had the salmon entree and it had ZERO flavor and looked like a mess when it came out (I loaded it with salt to make it palatable.). Plate was messy and looked like a couple pieces of corned beef or bacon on my plate from another dish. My girlfriend had the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries which was okay at best. For the thickness of the bread there isn't much cheese. See the picture of how bad the salmon dish looked. Sorry, but it just wasn't good. We really like Dawn and her staff, but the quality of the food is no longer any good. We will not likely be back, unfortunately. read more

Pinnacle Grille - What kind of mess is this? This should have never left the kitchen. (salmon entree) - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We love the bartenders who are here on a regular basis. We know the owner, who cares, and everyone one here is good, but the son who supposedly owned the place, is barely present at best and when he is here does not care about what everyone thinks. Everyone is commenting tonight how bad my "dinner special" This is bad and we keep hoping it gets get better because we like be the neighborhood and the employees. read more

Very friendly environment and good food with good service. Very good dining for a reasonable price

Some restaurants deserve to thrive others do not; This place does not. If you're a gambler, this is your place because you never know what you're going to get. Expressed our concerns to the owner and his son. They haven't a clue. This area desperately needs an alternative. read more

Decent food, but a 61 health secure shows the owner does not have control of his staff. I would love to frequent this facility since, but low health secure will keep me away for now. Get the health score consistently in the 90's and I will remove post and return as customer. read more

Dined on a very busy Saturday night with family. We were able to get a half booth in the corner of the bar area, which was less noisy. Our friendly server, Garrett made sure all menu items arrived timely and correctly prepared: Burger, Strawberry Kale Salad, Cobb Salad and Lobster Bisque. Pinnacle Grill offers a wide variety of menu options and also has a dog friendly patio. read more

Great family restaurant! The menu is vast and every dish we've tried is amazing. The pasta with Gorgonzola is so delicious!! Dawn always gives us excellent service! Highly recommend! read more

Yesterday was my wife's b-day. Tim was the server. Food was good and Tim did a great job. However, I made a reservation and choose to dine inside not knowing that we would be stuffed in the bar. When I asked about the tables inside the dining area I was told no seating available by the hostess. When we left the same tables were empty. Overall because of this attitude we will not be returning. read more

I really enjoy Pinnacle Grille! The food is superb. They have a wide variety of options including building your own pasta, burgers and salads. The service can be spotty, but overall really good! read more

We have been coming to PG for the last few years but took a break during the height of Covid. Our last two recent visits were fine with the service and food, as usual, however, we were shocked by the way the hostess was dressed. Same girl the last two times and so very inappropriately dressed! Both evenings she looked at though she should be at a bar on Old Town Scottsdale, not at a quiet neighborhood restaurant that services Troon residents. Management needs to manage their employees! I'm embarrassed for the girl, her parents and PG! read more

We tried this place out for the first time last night, two of the people with got the chicken fried chicken, that was the special on Thursday's so assumed it would be good. It was very dry, and no seasoning. I tried the pasta, again very little flavoring, same with the calamari and chicken wings. The pictures on their website are nothing like what you get in the restaurant. Very disappointed. Im giving two stars because the waiter was very accommodating. Would never go back. read more
