    Blue Water Grille is a fantastic restaurant designed to satisfy your desire for a great meal at a reasonable price. We made reservations for Valentine Day and from checkin to a gracious thank you on leaving, had a great time. Our server was attentive and made the meal all the more enjoyable. If you have visiting guests and want to take them out for a great meal, the Blue Water Grille is a great place to dine. If the Blue Water Grille ever want's to expand, I hope the owners will consider Goodyear for the next place to build one of their fine restaurants. Thank You for your fine meals and staff over the many years I have lived in Arizona.

    This restaurant is a real gym! They have a beautiful patio with lots of flowers, umbrellas, and space heaters for the chilly nights. We ate indoors in the adobe main building because of the morning rain storm that passed through earlier. It reminded me of many of the buildings in New Mexico, where I’m from. The furnishings and artwork inside were gorgeous. We ordered off the brunch menu and found some very creative selections. The service was outstanding and we are planning to return in about three weeks. :-)
