Quill Creek Cafe

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.

Lovely golf course restaurant. Attractive seating outside, with nice views. Food was excellent.

Everything was good but. Service had a lot to be desired! Waitress what not friendly or attentive! We had out of state quests with us and it was very embarrassing

My group of four had dinner here last night, and the experience was exceptional. The service was outstanding—our waitress, V, went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The food was terrific, with each dish beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. The warm ambiance, with stunning views of the golf course and McDowell Mountains, made the evening even more special.

Whether you’re a golfer or just looking for a great dining spot, this café delivers on all fronts. From the attentive service to the incredible setting, it’s a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a memorable meal. Highly recommend!

Peter was awesome! He went out of his way to ensure that our lunch was perfect! When I mentioned how much we enjoyed the chowder, he recommended that we take a quart home so that we can enjoy it later! He really exceeded our service expectations in every way! Peter, Greyhawk is lucky to have you!

Beautiful spot, however the food was a lot to be desired. What really was disheartening was the treatment by the manager over something as simple as seating us. It's hard to make your point of "we're busy" like 2 tables remaining empty for 20 minutes and following it up with how somehow we were responsible for his staff losing money. What a bizarre argument, especially when the manidorty tip was added to our bill. Nothing says go across the street like his attitude. Get it together.

My wife had a salad for dinner at this restaurant and got food poisoning from it that lasted for six weeks. It tasted horrible and she did not eat much of it but got very sick. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT!!!

Had dinner here on the patio (in early October). Plenty of seating, view of the greens and sunset. Since this is outside seating some of the chairs were a bit stained and dusty. Table surfaces were clean though.Our food arrived fast and was fresh. Fish tacos in soft tortilla were a hit. My personal favorite though is the Supergreen quinoa salad.

Dietary restrictions: Servers are serious about food allergies and cross-contamination. Very careful.

Parking: Good amount of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: All of the buildings are easily wheelchair accessible.

Nice restaurant with beautiful Mountain views on Grayhawk Golf Club. It's a Southwestern Style Restaurant offering an American fare menu.We ordered Pretzel Rolls for appetizers and they came out with warm cheddar sauce, lots of course salt like a regular pretzel and really hot that we could barely pick them up. Great appetizer selection.For dinner we ordered Chicken Pot Pie which appeared huge and had lots of shreaded chicken, lots of veggies and a yummy sauce.We also ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich which had lots of thinly sliced Prime Rib, Pepper Jack Cheese and au jus for dipping. It comes with choice of side of French Fries, Mango Coleslaw, or Redskin Potato Salad. It had really good flavor and served hot. Everything is a great value for the price considering the beautiful views on the golf course and the outstanding service.A nice place to just kick back and relax while enjoying a tasty meal! Definitely will return!!

This place has better views than food and service. The service was nothing to write home about and the food was very ordinary. Won't return...

First time we ate in the Quill Creek Cafe ( inside dining). We usually eat at Phil's Grill adjacent outside ( weather was cold). There is plenty of parking at the Gray Hawk Golf Club. The waitress Kathryn was excellent. She was professional, courteous, and personable. There were four male persons dining that day. She did separate checks. The menu was quite diversified. I had the soup ( broccoli cheese) and a half Club Sandwich . Delicious. Huge half portion. Plenty of tables and half booths there. Highly recommend eating here inside on a cold day.

What an amazing place is this.. perfect for winter brunch .. the patio sitting with a view lush green golf field and beautiful small lake.. We’ve ordered grilled chicken sandwich with mango coleslaw salad as side (this one I tried first time and absolutely loved it) and pesto pasta. Pasta was perfect and creamy in texture just loved it., The only thing that was missing was cappuccino however they have cold brew..

Vegetarian options: Pesto pasta, veg sandwich , cauliflower wedges
