We had a really great experience here tonight. We brought our one year old, large puppy here because they have a dog friendly patio and we want her to get more practice in different situations. The food was really good for the price point. Great calamari; tender inside with a crispy, light batter. The burgers were fantastic--I had the American waygu and my husband had the bison. The fries and the onion rings were awesome--super fresh, hot and crispy. The children's meals were actual FOOD--not reheated junk from a box. Our server, Josh, was so attentive and helpful throughout the meal--we were glad we tried this place out, we will certainly be back! read more

Probably one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The quality of the food is what you'd expect from a $20-50 per person with a $8-13 price tag. The service is like being at home. We've had about 8 items on the menu and all have been excellent. This is one of the best meals I've ever had for a unbelievable price! If you like Lobster Bisque soup, you must try theirs. read more

We thought it was great. Big menu, and the chefs pulled off our variety very well. I want to go back tonight, trying to gather support! I has the Bistro Steak and Scallop, which looked small, but was rich and spot-on for taste. All the other items my group had were excellent. I'm also happy with the service and pricing. Hope we make it back tonight! read more

First time here. Food was good and so was the service. Enjoyed it with dear friends, so that made it all the better.

I had just finished the Pinnacle Peak hike and was hungry tired and thirsty. There were some flyers at the trail head for the Pinnacle Grill that offered a discount. I decided to give the place a try. My hamburger was absolutely superb. The bun was very fresh (Perhaps they make them there) The large angus patty was cooked to the medium rare I ordered, and the side salad was large and had a nice variety of greens and other salad ingredients.The service was superb. The meal was appropriately priced. I am not from Arizona, but would definitely return to this place. read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I was reading through some of the reviews and the one that really disappointed me was from Marty Z. She stated the food was bad and much better restaurants than this place?? Don't waste your time or your money??? REALLY???? I have been going to Pinnacle for over 4 years and not ONCE have I been disappointed....The staff (especially Dawn & Josh)and the food is the best!......And it's DOG FRIENDLY! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch today and it was amazing! Our bartender Josh was excellent and makes the best Moscow mule I've ever had! We both had the build your own burger and it was cooked to perfection. I had the bison burger and he had the Kobe beef burger. The onion rings are thick and cooked perfectly. We also had the chicken green chili soup which wasn't that great but the excellent burgers made up for the disappointing soup. We will definitely be back! read more

Always enjoy going to Pinnacle Grille. Nice environment and a major plus, it's close to my house AND they welcome dogs! Very broad and wide selection on the food, however I always find myself with my two favorite, the Grilled Cheese and Chicken and Rice soup. read more

Wonderful scallops, yummy grille tacos and good crab Louie salad. The service was great with Josh. Drinks were good too. Great value!

Was not the destination I was hoping for. I googled pinnacle peak steakhouse and found out its permanently closed as a pulled into their parking lot. This place was plan B. Our party of 5 was seated immediately outside as we desired under the blood moon. It was a great experience food and service was awesome. Price was very reasonable. It's an hour away from home but will return. read more

We've been eating at Pinnacle Grill since we started visiting the area several years ago. I love their variety of sandwiches and salads. Today I had the salmon with goat cheese sandwich and it was amazing. read more

Awesome soups. Had the lobster bisque. I also had the club on sourdough. It was excellent. The red pepper humus was very nice as an appetizer. Service was excellent and brisk. Well be back often. read more

Everything I've ever ordered here has been top notch and a good value. Great service. Definitely a place you can eat at often without breaking the bank. read more

This is our new favorite restaurant. Nice ambience, large patio, and the burgers are awesome! We can really converse and actually hear each other in this restaurant. Each time we go our server is Patrick who is a very good server. We plan to take our parents there for lunch this weekened. We know they will love it. read more

Have been there a couple of times. Food is good. Service is always slow. Last time we were there my husbands salad had an ant crawling around. I was very disappointed that no one came over to apologize nor did they offer to discount or comp it. Not cool. read more

It often looks too busy for my taste at the Pinnacle Grille when passing by (I live up the street)... but it was empty and serene this past afternoon so we decided to give it a try for a late lunch. My girlfriend and I both had 'Royal Pinnacle' angus burgers (swiss, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onion, spring mix, and tomato on a ciabatta bun). Both burgers were delicious and done exactly as ordered (one medium rare, the other well). Most burgers are around $11 including a side... both the steak fries and sweet potato fries were good. I just wanted to mention this after seeing 'JD A.'s review. I don't doubt his account, but also noted on Pinnacle Grille's site that a new chef from San Diego just started in May, 2011. For what its worth, the attached press release also said "In 2009, San Diego Tribune selected his burger as the best in the city". Whoever they had grilling did a great job (OK.. its not rocket science)... All I can say is that we were satisfied, the service was great, and we plan to return... might even brave a crowded 'Happy Hour' sometime. read more

Beautiful location with mountains all around. Not cheap but the food was very good. I had grilled salmon on an onion roll with lettuce and goat cheese and a few other things with a side of sweet potato fries ( I have had better sweet potato fries) washed down with a couple Fat Tires ($5 each, not bad). My wife had a grilled chicken salad with spring mix and pears grape tomatoes and goat cheese with a raspberry vinaigrette, she loved it. If you are in the area it's a good lunch. They have an outdoor, dog-friendly patio. read more

Its now the place my whole family celebrates their birthday! A wonderful menu keeps mom and dad happy, the cool patio at sunset keeps me coming back, and my niece and nephew love the huge sparkling birthday candles. I've had everything on the menu and you will not be disappointed. Food quality is amazing, and the prices are great! Check it out! read more

This is a great place if you are looking for great food, great drinks without the fluff and the fluffy prices. I had the baby back ribs with steak fries and corn for $15 awesome. There is a kids menu and both of my kids had the chicken fingers and fries that they ate all of, so they got a $3 scoop of ice cream. My wife had the soup and caprese salad, which she enjoyed almost as much as my ribs. Good open air atmosphere and the nba game. Fun time. read more

The food here is absolutely incredible. From the delicious grilled chicken salads, homemade soups to incredible turkey burgers to fish etc everything is top notch. The service is great. The wait staff is so friendly and so nice. The restaurant resides very close to the base of Pinnacle Peak. The prices are very reasonable and I have never been disappointed. I hope this review brings more people to go to this well deserved restaurant.) read more

Food is great and comes out fast, if you can find a server who does not think your invisable. Service is horrible!! I counted 10 kids standing around and talking to each other, not one came over to us, even with me staring them down. 10 min after sitting and waiting finally someone plopped down water and walked away!!! Much later someone asked for our drink order, then came back 6 mins later. Then we waited again, for someone to take our order. Finnaly Dawn I think she is a manager took our order, was better after that. Go for the good try to stay even through the bad service. read more

Pinnacle Grille - Fall off the bone Ribs - Burgers Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

See all

Good local place for casual dinner at a very reasonable price. Larry, the owner, is involved in the business and goes out of his way to speak with his guests. The service is somewhat inconsistent, since they are always very, very busy. However, the wait staff keeps you informed, so that makes it easier. Personally, I love the dog friendly patio! All dogs welcome:) read more

Great restaurant. We just moved to the area and have been there twice. The food is great as is the service. A friend recommended it and we would too! read more

Really great meal! Enjoyed the strip steak,the sides are perfectly cooked and green beans super snappy steak cooked perfectly. Risotto with salmon entree was also great. Server Tim super accommodating and friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back on our next trip. read more

Found this gem while visiting family over Christmas. The food was fantastic! One of the best burgers I have ever had. Friendly staff and amazing views of the mountains. read more

The menu is large and while that can be an alarm bell, here it's all delicious. It's a grille--not the Waldorf, so I rate it for what it is. Everything is charred or cheesy or spicy or light when it was supposed to be. We had the build your own pasta, then BYO salad, plus the fish taco app. We are picky. Everything was amazing and Melanie the bar manager makes sure you're happy with it all. Her drinks are yummy and generous. Highly recommended. read more

Met my two valentines (hubby and son) for lunch at Pinnacle Grille yesterday inbetween shifts at work. We had been to Blu Burger on one other occassion that I can remember. It seemed fine, albeit VERY, VERY blue inside. They re-did it tan and red inside, which looks much better (except you can still see a bit of blue along the line of the ceiling, which I find a tiny bit tacky) My son and I go to the Blu Burger at Summit often, so I'm familiar with that menu. This one was expanded to include lots of soups and salads. I had my usual burger, which I asked to be prepared medium. It was prepared close to well. But that's ok, because it made me eat less of it :o) The server, Jason, was really good. I think he had the entire (nearly full) patio for his section and he managed it very well. He was knowledgeable, prompt and friendly toward my son (which goes a long way for me). He even brought me a bucket of ice for my Pellegrino bottle. :o) read more

Came here last night. It doesn't seem right that I am giving this a 3 star review. Nothing was particularly wrong, it just didn't click with me. To me, the restaurant had a weird vibe when we walked in. Smelled cigarette/cigar smoke right off the bat, probably the cigar bar in the same building is waifing over so if you are sensitive to smells, beware. The service was good, the food was good too, so on those counts I would return but the atmosphere was just off. When I put the entire experience together I probably won't return. With all the restaurants in the valley I will find another place to try. read more

Went with a few family members we tried a couple of their Burgers very good! Others had Salads. Good food!! We will go back!

This place was only so-so. Went for lunch on a Friday. There was no wait and the food came out quickly. I had a bland french dip sandwich and my husband had a club, which is hard to mess up. It was fine but I think there are better places to eat. read more

if Friday night is TRUMP night, we and our friends will do Friday night elsewhere. (trust me, we have many like minded friends.

The food and staff were wonderful. We wanted Ahi Tuna, but the only item on the menu was Ahi Tuna Salad. We asked the waiter if they could make us up an appetizer using the tuna and they came out with a huge plate of the most delicious tuna on a crisp fry-bread with a very rich sesame/soy reduction. We then ordered the lobster bisque and calamari, both were exceptional. The staff went above and beyond. We will definately return. We already went back for lunch today. The pizza burger with Kobe beef was phenominal. My wife "created" her own burger with onion, grilled pineapple, garlic, lettuce, provolone, and tomato on an angus beef patty. I perferred my version, but both were very well prepared and tasted great. The atmosphere is nice as well. read more

Really long menu with lots of options so you can customize every meal! Also-- long list of soups. Love every one I have tried so far. Also, great service. Very personable waitstaff who look you in the eye and engage in conversation too. read more

Was here for lunch in April and ate outside in the really nice patio area. My hamburger was great but they didn't get my dining partner's meal right and he wasn't very happy. On the other hand I had taken a friend from out of town here in Feb and we had a wonderful early dinner around 5pm on a Friday night (it was crowded already). She loved her fish and I had chicken marsala that was excellently prepared and was delicious. Started with guacamole -- also great. Agree with some of the other reviews that consistency is an issue but overall I've had nice experiences there read more

Something has happened. Was the best until they shut down for health dept. problem. Then reopened with bad menu and just bad food. Wet, sloppy plates (I. E. Mashed potato towered chicken & beef) and gone are the really good taco plate and linguine and clams. Please bring back the old chef and menu. Sadly only thing left on the menu to eat are the burgers and sandwiches. read more

This was our neighborhood favorite and we've been going since they opened. Although the owner was never particularly friendly, other staff made up for it and welcomed regular customers. That is no longer the case and, in general, the staff do not seem to enjoy their work. That's never a good sign. Food is still good, but when you want a regular place to eat, you want your repeat business to be appreciated-that doesn't happen at Pinnacle Grille. Re-scored this two years later. The Pinnacle Grille has really lost its attraction. The worst part of the experience is when you walk in the door--no welcome, you're just another burden and it proceeds from there--main difference in two years---you get to pay more for the bad experience. read more

Pleasantly Surprised to see a fabulous renovation...restaurant looks totally up to date.. twenty first century and inviting. Unfortunately the food is as mediocre as always. Almost worse. Obviously they didn't change anything in the kitchen. At least now you are eating in a most pleasant atmosphere ! read more

Everything is made from scratch & wide selection. The Ribs could win an award in KC. Also try the bread pudding.

Went for dinner for a second time because the first time was so great. Unfortunately, we didn't have a very good experience this time. We had dinner reservations and were seated right away. It was a cool evening and our table was on the patio. We were assured that there were plenty of patio heaters to keep us warm. The overhead heaters were fired up and working but the additional tower heater near our table was not operational even after two people tried for ten minutes to get it working. Interestingly enough we watched them later bring another tower heater from someplace else for a different table that arrived after us. We waited 15 minutes for a server after we got our waters. We ordered our drinks and dinner at the same time. 15 minutes later we got our drinks after I asked a different server to check on them since we just saw her serve the drinks to a table next to ours that arrived way after us. My husband ordered a salad to come out before the meal, that didn't happen, it came at the same time as the meal. I ordered a second drink as soon as our meals came even though I wasn't quite ready for one and even told our server that I figured I better order it while he was there. Once we finished eating (the food was very good) we waited for about 15 minutes before our server returned to our table with our check. We were about ready to go find someone to get it for us if he didn't come back soon. Our server was pleasant while he was talking to us but either he was inexperienced or stretched to thin, which happens sometimes, but there were no real apologies for the deficiencies. Basically we felt less than important. We will give them another try when it's not so busy because the food is very good and the prices are reasonable. read more

Food: only ok. Some not good. All overpriced. Bar menu sucks. Cold beer thought. I've now tried at least 3 different entrées and pretty much the whole happy hour menu. Service is hard core so so. Can't recommend. It's a shame they are one of the only spots around this area read more
