We love Arrowhead Grill. Food and service on point as usual. Would like a little more music option than the Crooner style music and looking forward to their remodel. We had actually stopped in at 4:45 at Bourbon & Bones prior to going to Arrowhead. Not a single seat and hostess informed us the regulars won’t be leaving so we wouldn’t be getting for happy hour which was until 6. This has been the case at Bourbons and Bones anytime I’ve tried to go….after happy wide open because the prices are so high. We went to our good old stand by Arrowhead Grill where food and service is always on point and you don’t have to go just during happy hour to be ok paying bill. Stay loyal to the OG’s.

Food was good, my pasta could’ve been cooked just a touch longer, was a little chewy. My husband had the polenta which was amazing.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Blanco, and it was truly an outstanding experience! I ordered the tamale, and it was an absolute culinary delight—perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. My mother-in-law opted for the hamburger, which was cooked to perfection and juicy in every bite. Our waiter was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and ensured our evening was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the ideal spot for a family dinner. We will definitely be dining here again. Highly recommend Blanco to anyone looking for fantastic food and great service!

Becky made the experience for the four of us VERY pleasant. She was attentive, cordial, was able to describe every menu item we asked about, and tempted us with dessert. My chicken parmesan was excellent: the crust was delicate and delicious, the chicken was satisfyingly juicy, and the rigatoni was covered with a white sauce that tasted like bits of ecstasy. All in all, a very pleasurable experience. That you.

Firebirds Grill in Arrowhead Fountains is a cozy, comfortable place. The server was helpful with recommendations on food to order. He was patient and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful—and reasonably priced. I will recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.
