Stopped here after a hike on Pinnacle due to its proximity. The food here is just not that good. I ordered a small stack of buckwheat pancakes. The pancakes were Luke warm and tough. The thing that gets me is that you shell out a decent amount of money, yet the butter comes in little foil wraps. I HATE THAT! I might as well bring my own stick of butter if I wanted to spend 15 minutes opening little packets. I expect that at a La Quinta downstairs crappy included breakfast, not here. Plus, the butter was cold so as I spread it, it destroyed the pancakes. Wife got a "meh" omelette. Again, luke warm. The side of tomatoes were unripe and tasteless. Her turkey sausage patties were cold, hard, and obviously previously frozen and reheated. Overall, the Pinnacle Grill was uninspiring, disappointing, and blah. read more

This place was great came here in the evening during our stay in scotts dale. We at in the patio very nice beautiful light and great food. We started of with Kalahari which was fantastic not to salty just perfect. I built my own pasta entree with shrimp which was great my girlfriend had shrimp risotto which was very well made. read more

See all

They have a tremendous selection of very tasty dishes my favorite is the Aji salad the menu is almost eclectic but has main stream appeal as well and the food is nicely prepared good value for money like the atmosphere read more

Worst food poisoning I've ever had . About 30 hours ago I had the Portobello burger with sweat patatoe frys, and ate my wife's "slaw" that came under her Salmon Teriyaki. Was throwing up within hours. Been hear before with no problem, but will never be going back. The severe chills and living on the toilet isn't something I'd like to risk again. You can guess where I sit as I write this. And yes, this was the only place I ate that day. My mom who also had the Salmon Teriyaki had some mild issues, but nowhere the same as me. Sorry to all the fans. read more

Ordered 3 to go salads. Lettuce was brown and looked like it should have been thrown away days ago. Avocados were even worse. I wouldn't dare serve this rotten looking food. Perhaps it being to go had something to do with it. May give it one more try just to be sure. read more

Took out of town friends to lunch and was truly embarrassed by the the correctness of the order, taste, and cleanliness. The staff was pleasant but the food was way under par. We have dined here many times before and often the food is good. I guess it just depends who is in the kitchen. Overall, we were embarrassed to have taken our friends there. Dirty silverware, wrong orders brought to the table, cheese on one order for a vegan guest who specifically said "no cheese". Room temp food, tasteless burger which came with onions not ordered!! It was a mess all around. The ONLY saving grace is that the staff is friendly. read more

This place has improved from when it first opened. Originally it was a basic hamburger and salad place. Now it's been renovated and the menu expanded. Besides the hamburger offerings it now includes seafood dishes. The local's really support this place as it can get crowded. Best to make a reservation. read more

Stopped here the first time today. Outstanding food and service!!! The clam chowder and chili was incredible. We all had hamburgers. Josh was an awesome server. Will definitely be back! read more

After a hike on Pinnacle Peak, it was natural to stop here for a quick bite. Loved the hummus because you not only get the traditional pita bread, you get sides of tomato, cucumber, carrots and celery...Since I was seeking a healthy lunch to reward my conquering of the mountain, I tried the salmon salad which was incredible with a dressing that was to die for! service is friendly and attentive without being overly intrusive. Definitely will be back to try the other menu items because it was refreshing after a hike! read more

We were on our way to Cave Creek and decided to try somewhere different so we consulted Yelp to see where had good reviews. It was Sunday during lunch and place was dead... so there was really no reason my burger should look and taste like charcoal. I had the Hawaiian burger and wife had Greek Burger; neither were good but LOOKED good. My Hawaiian burger was black on both sides like it had been on fire for awhile and my wife's was burned on one side. My wife's Greek burger was bland. She said it tasted like they use bottle dressing instead of making the sauce from scratch. We had a side salad with our burgers and they had a good assortment of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a few other things but the dressing wasn't very good (obviously bottled ranch, vinaigrette, and blue cheese). I showed the waitress my burned burger but decided not to send it back since I never send food back. I was surprised she didn't take action anyway (I would). If they were in my neighborhood I MIGHT give them a second chance given the other reviews but I'll never go back. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places. Last time I was there the food was not good, thought we'd try it again, and we couldn't get waited on, so we left. read more

A group (6) of us went for lunch today to celebrate my birthday. Perfect day for patio seating, which they had ample tables available. Server was very attentive and friendly. Looking through the diverse menu I see lots of options that sound great. Great options of soup, salad, entrees, sandwiches and burgers. I settle for a cup of the Crab corn chowder which was very good. Extra points for serving oyster crackers with the soup as many do not. The chowder was the right consistency of thickness. I opted for the build a burger option. There are diverse options to make your burger from buns, traditional toppings, or special toppings like a portabella cap, roasted chile, etc. My burger was a ciabatta Kobe burger with pepper jack, roasted chile, guac, spinach and chipotle aioli. Once I got the burger which looked awesome, I cut it in half and noticed the patty was thin. Maybe a 1/4lb and it had a very uniform circular shape as is if it came from a frozen pack. I told myself that they probably had a press back there and to proceed. The guac looked a darker brown than usual as if it had been out or wasn't freshly made. They had avocados on the menu so I assumed it was fresh. The bun was grilled, spinach super fresh drenched in some cheese and a chiles. First bite was good and got a bit of everything but something was off. After dissecting a bit the guac definitely tasted as if it came out a package and the Kobe was a frozen hockey puck. Upon examining the grilled results of the Kobe it resembles more I a black bean veggie patty, which I made sure no one else at the table had ordered. For a place that's supposed to be a burger joint this is an extreme disappointment. I can get a burger at a better price that's handmade and way more fresh. Cutting corners and costs on guac when you have fresh avocados is not very endearing either. The rest of the entrees that came out for our table looked great (chef salad, BLTA) but if I return to this location it won't be for a burger again. Service 4 Ambiance 4 (cool looking booths inside) Menu Options 5 Burger 1 read more

N and I remembered a place with a view here in AZ and thought the name had Pinnacle in it. That's how we searched and found the Pinnacle Grill. We knew it wouldn't have a view, but figured "why not"? We reserved an outside table using Open Table, but when we arrived saw the inside dining was well spaced and we went for it. The staff greeted us cheerily and we felt very safe. We were seated at a booth well away from anyone else. Jordan was our server and he was excellent. N had her glass of red (what else?) and I ordered a martini (and I suppose to be fair, what else?). The pour was generous, the martini came in a shaker and the three blue cheese olives I asked for. Their 10oz NY steak is on the Sat/Sun special which I ordered medium rare and asked for it to be on the rare side. It was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. Jordan offered blue cheese crumble on it and it was ooo sooo good. N ordered the baby back ribs which were falling off the bone delicious with almost too much sauce. We brought home half of the ribs and a bunch of the sweet potato fries which made a great breakfast for N. The question is not "would we go back", it's how do we fit a return into our week here in Scottsdale. read more

Really nice place! We came here last night in a group of 7 and it was a great experience. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant is good-sized with the right amount of tables so you don't feel cramped. The menu is very diverse and I love the "make your own salad" or "burger" selection that each had a ton of different options. Their portions are very large and can easily be shared or taken home for a lunch or another dinner. I made my own salad with solid albacore tuna with their fresh veggies and the balsamic dressing on the side. Everyone's order was correct and prompt and prices were great. For 7 people who had dinner, some had appetizers and everyone had tea or soda, it was just under $100. We are making this our standard place for our monthly meetings now. read more

The food quality and the service has gone downhill at this place. We used to go here a lot and you could always count on a good experience but lately it's been nothing but disappointing. This latest (and probably our final) visit was on a Friday night. The hostess seated us but no one stopped by to take our drink order. My wife finally went and found a waiter and ordered a couple iced teas. The food arrived quickly but it was pretty blah. Seems they are saving on the quality of ingredients. Not once did our waiter stop by our table while we ate nor did anyone refill our drinks. And then when it was time for the check, we again had to flag down our waiter and ask for it. So we had an appetizer, 2 iced teas and 2 salads. Total before tip was $50. Sorry but the value is just not there. Food is disappointing and service is lacking. We don't plan to return. read more

This is not your average grub pub. It is a casual fine dining delight with an extensive menu. You can get their pub grub but you would be missing out on some of the best entrees in the valley. My wife and I just got home from the latest of many wonderful experiences on the patio under the heaters while others opted for indoor seating. I had the liver and onions, and Wendy enjoyed the Mediteranian Chicken with Humus. Both meals were excellent and well served in comfort. I highly recommend The Pinnacle Grill. read more

Ran out to sit at the bar and have dinner. A quick bite.....not a chance. We met many folks around us and had a great meal as usual. The place is really hopping and remodel looks great. Ended up being there 4 hours!! Haven't been out in awhile so it was especially nice. 2-24-17. Andy and Annie Gervase read more

Our first visit. 1 star for receptionist. She was aloof when I called to make the reservation, and seemed bothered and curt when we came in. Maybe not a very happy young lady. 3 stars for the waiter. Seemed like he was in a hurry; we weren't. But did alter dishes to one of our parties liking. And explained that each item was prepared to order, so it is not a problem to make changes. Seemed to abandon us after entrees were served, had to ask another server for an item that was ordered and not delivered (they brought it out quickly after we asked). 5 stars for the cocktail service directly from the bar, even though we were not sitting at the bar. 5 stars for the appetizers. 5 stars for the entrée's. read more

Ate outside early evening. Tables spaced apart, every server had masks on properly. Tables were being properly cleaned. I've seen previous reviews that made me nervous but this place was following guidelines and I thank them for that. Food was good. I typically get the liver and onions and it was properly cooked--tender, mild..not shoe leather. Sautéed spinach with garlic was great. Fries hot and crispy, smashed potatoes really good. Service on the patio started slow but that seemed to be because of the time--people were just starting to sit out there. The owner noticed and "poof"--more service staff and service was really good. Prompt, careful, considerate. I really should try something else on the menu, but it's hard to find good liver and onions. So I stick with that. I appreciate them being open and taking solid precautions and cooking some good food. Nice place. read more

We used to frequent this place when it was BluBurger. I am really pleased with the expanded menu and happy that they still have their yummy burgers and delicious sweet potato fries. We enjoyed a wonderful night on their patio and I had the hummus plate and the lobster bisque. The soup was outstanding, however, a little on the salty side to the point where I could use a diuretic this morning. ;o) The hummus was really good and they give you a huge portion. I'd definitely head back here to try some of their other soups and the salads that they've added to the menu. They also have a really good beer and wine selection as well. read more

I had a burger for lunch. It was excellent. Perfectly done to order, I was very satisfied. The onion rings, like their ketchup, is Sysco, and it shows. I wouldn't recommend the onion rings. The breakfasts look tasty, and I look forward to coming here again to try it out. When I do, I'll bring my own ketchup ;-) read more

Great variety of food, quality, and ambiance. Nice bar area with tv's for sports viewing. Large Outdoor patio with heaters (if needed). Its definitely a regular stopping place for us and our friends. read more

We had lunch here today, it took forever! We had a 12:15 reservation and didn't get to sit down until 12:30, they weren't busy, they just didn't have enough staff. We finally got our food around 1:20, the staff said "sorry they are delayed in cooking," but we had BLTs and club sandwiches, so I'm not sure what took so long..... With so many options, this won't be in the rotation. read more

Fantastic place. We ordered the filet and it took quite a while for it to arrive, but the bartenders went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for. Definitely check this place out! read more

Great dog friendly patio and the food is solid for the price point. Like their fries :)

Great friendly service. I ordered the Cobb salad. It was ok. Nothing spectacular. The ingredients weren't chopped up finely like in most Cobb salads--they were big chunks--not to my liking. My husband ordered the tuna salad sandwich. He stated it was very good. Homemade raspberry salad dressing was spectacular. We ordered the apple pie for dessert. The waitress asked if we wanted ice cream and we said "no." She said as she walked away that the ice cream makes it taste so much better. When she served it, the pie was heated and she added the ice cream anyway because she said it just makes it taste so much better. That was such a nice (and correct) touch--and she didn't charge for the ice cream. It was awesome. I think the key to this place is to stay away from the salads and order sandwiches and entrees. The prices are extremely reasonable. read more

Great place! Great food and excellent service! Highly recommend! I love their grilled cheese and creamy tomato basil soup. The burgers are also superb! read more

Our first visit for lunch. We loved the sweet potato fries!! Dawn, our server was very friendly. The burgers, Cobb salad and sandwiches were all great. The lobster bisque soup wasn't as good as we expected which is why this was not a five star rating. We will be back for burgers. read more

Awesome 'hood gathering place! Food is good, service is excellent & great happy hour prices & menu!

Great place for a quick bite. They have a great variety on their menu. Live it since the remodel a few years ago.

I went to Pinnacle Grille with my girlfriend for lunch. The menu really looks awesome, but unfortunately neither of us were very hungry. I ended up getting the Cobb salad and it was really good. Everything was fresh, the greens, the grilled chicken, the bleu cheese, everything. The vinaigrette was the one thing I wasn't super pleased with. So, if you get this salad, try a different dressing. My girlfriend got the fat free sesame dressing on her salad, it was really good. I really liked the ambiance and the service was really good. I think the only thing keeping this place from being really popular is the location, it's like being on the moon out there! However, I would certainly go back if I was in the area again. read more

We have eaten here 3 times in last 5 weeks & always have great service & food, really good burgers & Ceasars salad, good selection from the full service bar, servers are very attentive, plan on visiting this Pinnacle Grill many more times. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant. It was a little difficult to find, hidden in an area you wouldn't expect a restaurant. But it was very cute and well laid out. Very nice patio. But absolutely amazing menu. Unfortunately the service is very disorganized. No one seem to know what the other was doing. They kept changing servers at our table. One of them apologize that it took over 15 minutes to get our drink order. Staff kept coming by and asking if we'd been helped. We would tell them know. And they would leave! With a good restaurant manager, and someone to get them organized, it could be a berry it could be successful. read more

Thursday's fried chicken was awful. The chicken marsala was the same salty over fried chicken with a sauce unlike any marsala ever eaten. I sent an email to the restaurant with no answer. I assume the meal was acceptable to the owner or it was the best they felt adequate. read more

Went with my daughter for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was very busy. We started with the pretzel sticks with cheddar cheese dip which were good while they were hot, then they got hard and dry so the last, third one was not worth eating. We both had "build your own" grilled chicken salad with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing and they were very large we added red onions, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, quinoa, walnuts and craisens. The salad came with a very large portion of chicken breast. We also ordered the sweet potato fries which were good, very crispy. Service was good they checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. We will return again. read more

Always great! Great service and yummy vegetarian options. One of the best veggie burgers around. Josh is an awesome server! read more

Son took over the business and what a disaster and the worst customer service from an owner he just blew me off. The staff had to discount my food and offer a free drink because the deadbeat owner son, could care less. Worst experience in my life and I use to work in restaurants. Don't waste your money. The bar is great, but the restaurant is poorly run. read more

Went after hiking last Saturday. Food and beer was good - once we got to order. Everyone was too busy saying it was someone else's job. The hostess took us to a filthy table and when we asked to have it cleaned she gave a dirty look and told no one. read more

Had dinner tonight in the bar. Food was good as usual and the ambiance nice and quiet. While getting our food this trip was very quick the getting waited on and getting the bill part a bit on the slow side. Yes, I will go back. It is still one of the best neighborhood places to eat hands down for menu variety and fair pricing. read more

The best burgers salads and drinks around. We arrived a few minutes before they opened and people were lining up to get in. Service is great! It's fast and everyone is super friendly and attentive. Just moved here from California and been looking around for places to eat that are yummy and affordable,this is the place! cost my boyfriend and I 50$ for an appetizer two burgers with sides and each a drink. Highly recommend!! read more
