Arrowhead Grill

My wife and I celebrated our 39^th wedding anniversary at Arrowhead Grill tonight. The meal and service were fantastic. I had a Kobe beef Delmonico steak, and my wife had the macadamia nut crusted halibut. Both plus the sides were excellent. The service and attention to detail was great. They even offered us two flutes of champagne and a butter cake to share for dessert no charge, plus a card and gift card ! This is not our first visit. I have never been disappointed with Arrowhead Grill.

Out for a fantastic dinner with some friends from drinks to appetizers and great steaks, then on to the butter cake outstanding! Our waitress Jessica was fantastic ! great smile, knowledgeable, just all-​around terrific job!

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE! Been here a few times and never ceased to amazing how good the food is! The server was well versed in his menu. Love this place!

Honestly, this will probably forever be my worst higher end dining experience. There was nothing even remotely redemptive about Arrowhead Grill. The service was, well, basically non-​existent, the steak was inferior to that of, umm, pick any fairly cheap chain steakhouse, and it’s not even much to look at.
Save your money and go to any of the other amazing steakhouses in the Phoenix area — Ruth’s Chris, Donovan’s etc. Avoid. I’m pretty sure the people who have given this place a good review have never tasted a perfectly prepared steak before.

Great food great service expensive but you get what you pay for best Prime Rib in valley will go many times again!

This place is 5 star with 2 star pretentiousness. Such a great local gem. Great food, great cocktails and great service. Excellent wine list and great happy hour. I always go for the delmonico. Love the green beans side. Love the butter cake and when we do get dessert, they do serve a smaller portion of the butter cake so you can have a small couple of bites and not a huge ol butter cake.

Quite simply this is the best restaurant on this side of town. My wife and I have eaten here on numerous occasions. I have never had a bad meal or poor service. Cocktails are great, appetizers are great and dinner never fails to impress. Having eaten at Flemmings, Dominick’s, The Ocean Club etc. this place is hands down one of my favorites. The Delmonico Steak, the creamed corn, brussel sprouts and my god the butter cake. I highly recommend if you are looking for an amazing meal, make a reservation. I have to say that one time they were booked pretty heavily and due to my hem-​hawing I didn’t get a reservation so we just went to Prestons which is equally as good. Every time we leave I look forward to coming back.

Will never dine here again.
It was my birthday. Kinda packed. They sat us outside. Took literally 30 minutes to get my first drink. Beer came warm, obviously poured a while ago. Took 40 minutes to get my second beer. This time it was cold because it was right after I complained. Got my $ 72 Kobe, ordered medium rare. Came blue. I complained again. They took my steak and cooked it again. At the time they took my cutlery and plate too so I couldn’t even eat sides while I waited. Steak came back cooked properly in the center but now it was charred. Also did not have the same consistency as you’d expect for a Kobe. Actually tasted frozen (tho I don’t believe it was, just tasted that way). We got free deserts for our trouble and spent literally 3 hours sitting outside mostly unattended (except the water boys who did just fine) — bill was astronomical. Didn’t get the sparklers and stuff that the people with the birthday in the table next to us got (that’s what they always do) — most frustrating customer experience I have ever had in a «high end» steak house. Do not recommend.

We arrived early for our reservations and were seated immediately which was good. I agree with a fellow Unilocaler about the atmosphere being louder than expected but not sure they have much control over the conversation noise. Overall our booth was pleasant enough and we were able to hear and communicate effectively so the noise was not an issue.
Now to the food. We ordered the lamb chop fondue as an appetizer. The waiter described it as «phenomenal». We 100% agreed. It was amazing, or rather, «phenomenal»!!
The steak we ordered was the 14oz. Del Monico steak. (Described as a step below a filet for tenderness and a step below the ribeye in flavor, so the best of both worlds) We ordered it medium and Pittsburgh style which is sometimes difficult to prepare so we weren’t surprised when it came out medium-​rare. We sent it back and after a quick turn around on the grill the steak returned perfectly cooked! That was a little inconvenient as we had already started on our sides but they stayed warm until the steak arrived. Great char on the outside. It was tender, moist, and very flavorful! We were very pleased despite the initial send back.
Sautéed mushrooms and onions were very good as were the AG mashed potatoes (loaded with cheese and bacon)!
Bottled beer only but they poured it in a glass for you and it was toof bustin’ cold! (Which means ice cold, if you don’t track the slang)
The waiter insisted on the butter cake and offered it on the house for the steak being initially undercooked. This seems a little inconsistent with the other Unilocalers review so I hope they have adopted this policy moving forward. Butter cake did not disappoint. It was amazing.
A must try if in the Glendale, Arizona area!
PS: I tried to do ⁴¹⁄₂ stars but haven’t figured it out yet so I gave them the benefit of the doubt with 5!

It was a special night for my husband so we anticipated great food for the $$$$ cost with a pleasant atmosphere. It was not. We moved twice as the noise level was too high to even hear each other speak, then the service in the lounge was slow. We ordered the Monday night prime rib special (Med-​rare) which looked great on the upside but when I turned it over as it had NO flavor, it was all brown on the underside. I had better prime ribs at casinos for $ 7.77.
I will not return. sadly this ruined our celebration.

Amazing place, definitely worth the price, your lady will be impress with this. My waiter Clarence was great and really took care of me and date. Sea bass and salmon with Louisiana bbq shrimp are something to check out as well…

Nice ambience and good almost great service. They offer dining inside or out as well as a decent bar area. We dined inside on a Friday night, the restaurant was packed and lively.
We started with the Crab Cake appetizer and they were really good made mostly of crab. This is not your typical crab cake of mostly bread crumbs but they do charge for the crab. My wife ordered the Salmon prepared with dill. She really enjoyed it. I ordered the Delmonico steak. The flavor was ⁹⁄₁₀ but the cut of beef was chewy and disappointing but the flavor was good enough that I ate it all. It was prepared perfectly medium rare. I have a tough time believing that it was a prime grade cut. I would order the fillet next time.
For sides we had broccoli which was very flavorful. My wife thought they it had a little to much garlic. The cheesy potatoes were exceptional as was the Butter Cake desert. The Crème Brulee was good as well.
We would go back. This isn’t Texas Roadhouse expect to exceed $ 100 per person.

I really wanted to like this place because it is close to my house butttttt unfortunately, it fell short. I had a reservation on a Friday evening. Service was terrible. After ordering drinks, the waitress inadvertently knocked the straw out of my drink. No big deal, but after she apologized, she never brought out a new straw. She was inattentive and we felt like we were inconveniencing her.
I could look past bad service if the food was great. But it wasn’t. Prosciutto wrapped asparagus was like leather wrapped asparagus. One steak was ordered medium and came out bleeding rare. Everything was as though they added a ton of salt and butter. Waters were never refilled. I recently ate at Hillstone, which at the same cost, was leaps and bounds above Arrowhead Grill. Too bad — I really wanted AG to be worth it.

Definitely going try the cardinal sin next time. It’s a spicy cosmopolitan with jalapeño (no longer on the menu but a must try when here) only for those heat seekers.
And make sure to get Kasey who is a terrific bartender/​server, he is fantastic.
Happy hour here is another reason this place rocks: awesome food, fish tostadas, cheeseburger sliders– so good, very nice flavoring, pretzel fondue, AG burgers — yum!!, salmon or sirloin salad with your choice of chop or spinach or Caesar, lamb fondue.
Their butter cake– amazing, take a sample at the check in desk.
Dinner wise, the steaks and fish are cooked perfectly.
Drinks: red Manhattan, Cardinal sin (not on menu), house wines (all good)
Highly recommended!!!

After a long day of furniture shopping, we were need of some sustenance and relaxation. Arrowhead Grill fit the bill.
Be warned as the drinks seems to be on the sweet side. I asked the waitress if the margarita was really sweet (I think it’s cheating if it is — good ‘ritas don’t need to be so sweet) and she said it wasn’t. It was one of the sweeter margaritas I had and I ended up pawning if off on the husband.
The coconut shrimp was delicious as was my steak (it’s not Ruth’s Chris but damn close). I’d love to come back for the butter cake.

Recently Moved here from TX, and took my wife here for her Birthday not really knowing what I was getting into. This place definitely exceeded my expectations from the reviews online .
Our Server Joe was top notch, and made our experience more enjoyable.
It’s a nice place for a dinner date. We sat outside in the patio with cold weather and we were beyond comfortable and warm.

Service was ok. We had a young lady as our server, and unfortunately her inexperience showed. She was more focused on her «area» than she was on us (party of 2).
My wife ordered the lamb chop appetizer as her meal, which was truly tasty… good job! Unfortunately it took about an hour to come out.
The rest of the meal was mediocre. I ordered the twice baked lobster potato and it was overly salted. I also ordered the 10oz Delmonico and it was, at best, par with a steak I can grill at home every evening.
May have been here on an off night, though I’m not sure we’re coming back.

Beautiful décor, was amazed at how big the facility is. Great Bar area with a great selection of hand crafted cocktails.
Our waitress was fantastic and very attentive with a great sense of humor, don’t have her name and that is not like me. She has been at the restaurant for a number of years.
I had the AG Salmon, it was out of this world, the wife tried their coconut shrimp and loved that as well.
We will definitely go back to try some of their other entrees.

Upscale dining in West Valley has always been somewhat sparse. Based on the business that Arrowhead Grill gets, there’s definitely a demand for it.
The first time we paid a visit, I actually wasn’t sure what to expect. Fortunately, the food at Arrowhead Grill is superb and well worth the price you pay. The menu is pretty straightforward. All dishes are purchased a la carte, so you’ll typically want to order your entrées with a couple of sides. They offer some decent salads as starters, although I haven’t yet sampled all of their appetizers. I did have an opportunity to try the Lamb Chop Fondue and Pig Wings, which definitely didn’t disappoint. As for entrees, my favorite is their Delmonico, which is what I usually end up ordering. Their bacon-​wrapped filet is also worth mentioning. One day, I hope to be adventurous and try some of their other steaks.
For sides, you have many options and most are more than enough to feed two people. I highly recommend their AG Mashed Potatoes and Artisan Mac and Cheese. The AG Mashed Potatoes are, in fact, so good, that we’ve refused restrictive three-​course specials based solely on the fact that they don’t offer them (and won’t substitute them in despite offering to pay extra).
One of my favorite things about AG is their Thanksgiving offering. On Thanksgiving Day, you can make reservations for a traditional holiday dinner. We went last year and had turkey and turducken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and the whole works. As long as they continue offering this, we’ll continue going.
As for their desserts, the Butter Cake is our absolute favorite! In fact, going to their dessert menu and ordering anything else EXCEPT the Butter Cake is doing your party a huge dining disservice. Yes, it’s actually that good! Based on my observations, very rarely do people order anything else. We did have one ugly hiccup once during a Valentine’s Day dinner where everyone seemed to be off their game. While most people were ordering the smaller 4.99 version of the cake, we opted for the full-​priced (bigger) one. It was so blatantly obvious that it was not fresh, as it was cold and very dry. I’m not sure if it’s because they had them in storage or if it’s because they were so close to closing time. This cheap little trick was enough for me to dock them from a perfect five star rating.
Another frustration is that whenever they do their little 3 – 4 course menus, they sometimes offer flexibility with the sides, allowing you to order sides that aren’t listed as options. Other times, they’ll let you upgrade for an extra price. Or, on one occasion, they flat out refused to let us make any modifications whatsoever. I’m all for rules, but rules are worthless if they aren’t consistent.
Additionally, they seem to have varying ideas of what a «medium well» steak should be cooked like depending on who’s running the kitchen. My advice is to order your meat a step lower than what you would usually get, and then just have them place it back on the grill if necessary.
Reservations are recommended on the weekends for sure. It can be pricey (I’m sure made much worse if you drink alcohol). If you join their e-​mail list, you’ll receive the occasional discount offers and information about their specials, which are often times pretty good deals.
The restaurant can often be crowded, but has never once reached a point where I’ve found it loud and distracting. Service has always been good and the food has never disappointed.

I generally love this place. We love coming here on our date nights, special occasions and I was recently there for a girls night. We always sit on the bar side or the patio.
Ambiance is cozy and sleek, service is excellent with an exception of 1 time… (A female bartender, first I had seen her I think, or maybe I just don’t remember her).
There are a couple bartenders who we see often, the bald guy– cool dude and makes great drinks & the Asian? Guy– he’s very cool too and service oriented, he makes good drinks too. We like them.
We never leave with a small bill… So plan to spend if you go. But it’s worth it, food, drinks, service. We really enjoy this place. My Husband and many of our friends will continue to keep coming here for years.
Highly recommend.
Ps: extend your nightly/​weekend hours AG!
