Quill Creek Cafe at Grayhawk Golf Club is basically my happy place. If you’re looking for an excuse to soak up incredible views while enjoying some seriously good yummy food, this is it. I’m a frequent flyer here – no judging!! We often stop in for a late lunch after running errands or early dinner when I just don't wait to cook, and I will say, the vibes never disappoint.
One of my favorite things about Quill Creek is the gorgeous pond framed by brilliant red flowers, a few ducks casually cruising by, and golfers doing their thing in the distance. Dinner and a show!
Frankly, It’s like stepping into a golf-and-garden magazine spread and I'm here for it!! Honestly, I could sit there for hours (and sometimes do). Again, no judging! Sometimes a girl just needs to sit, enjoy the view and have someone else bring her food!
So friends, let’s talk about the food. The chicken wings are always crispy perfection, and I get the sauce on the side because leftovers are a must. They’re so good, you’ll want to savor them twice. And yes, these wings are some of my favorite in town!
Quill Creek is famous for their Chicken Pot Pie as a good friend told us on our very first visit, insisting that had to be our first order. It was and it continues to be a repeat favorite! This dish is creamy, flaky, hearty and because it's gigantic you will have leftovers! We’ve enjoyed it several times because once just isn’t enough. And I no longer want to make chicken pot pie at home! I mean it's hot in Arizona and I find myself cooking less and less!
Looking for gluten free, then a good option is the Club on Gluten-Free Bread. It's stacked high with layers of deliciousness and has also been on the repeat choice list. And for the burger lovers, the Cheese Burger is massive, loaded with all the toppings, and we always choose a side of Mac and Cheese served in a cute little cast iron skillet – because, well it's cute and delicious and why not make comfort food classy?
I so appreciate the staff here. They are super friendly and attentive without being in your face. The service always hits the right note, balancing checking in just enough to make sure you are well taken care of and balancing that with making sure you have what you need and that you never feel rushed. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, sip a drink, enjoy the food and watch the world (and a few ducks or a wedding or two) go by.
The bottom line for me is Quill Creek Cafe is my go-to for an easy, fun, and laid-back meal with million-dollar views. Come for the food, make some new friends, stay for the scenery – and maybe a second order of wings.
