We went on a Wednesday evening around 7pm and were seated immediately without a wait. Our server was friendly and approachable. We started with the Jalapeño Bomber Dip. Flavor-wise, it was solid; however looks-wise it's a tad unappealing. It leans heavily into a shade of gray not commonly seen in most foods. The Fish and Chips were very good. Great portion size; the plate comes with 3 pieces. We both ended up taking one piece home. The inside of the restaurant was clean and inviting. I'd check them out again for sure.

I had the dry Irish stout and it was outstanding. The host thoughtfully asked if I preferred a high top or a low top table before seating my party. Very thoughtful. Our server was Vanessa. She gets her own paragraph. Friendly, attentive, detailed, responsive, engaging -- clearly in the zone and was very happy to be there. I work in customer service. I know what it's like to have good people. Vanessa is exceptional. The food was great. We got a couple of burgers. Tasty. I had the onion rings with mine -- a very generous portion and also tasty. Music volume was at a tasteful level. It was present but didn't get in the way of conversations. Much appreciated.

This incredibly beautiful trail is one that shouldn't be missed if you're around Scottsdale. It…read moreshould be noted that this full hike (approx 2.2 miles one way or 4.4 round trip) isn't a beginner trail by any means, but it's doable. All of the cutbacks, significant incline in elevation, minimal shade & loose gravel in areas should be factored in when considering the time of year you want to go. However, if you want to do it (and I strongly suggest doing it) you'll experience views, terrains & serenity that's unlike anything else. Not only is there a main trail that'll take you directly to Tom's Thumb, there are a good handful of side trails that'll lead you to other awesome areas. I can't remember the specific one I stopped at but it led to an overlook of a massive valley where I saw some rock climbers on a the face of a huge mountain. Basically anywhere you stopped there was a 360 degree view of mountains, gigantic cacti, the surrounding cities & all of the beautiful dessert you're fully immersed in. It was my 1st time visiting AZ & wanted to get the full outdoor experience so I'd say this hike let me accomplish that. There were times I was focused on just making it through the trail but every time I stopped to take it all in, I was truly blown away. I can't suggest it enough to check it out, it's well worth a trip out of your way to make it happen. Just be sure to bring lots of water & take rest when you get to shaded areas. Have fun & safe hiking!

We wrote a check, filled out the requested envelope info and dropped it in the secure slot indicating we were Passport America holders. Less than 30 day customers are directed to the specified space area. We stayed 3 nights and were 100% satisfied. The park landscape and design is perfectly in line with the desert. No grass but very nicely adorned with rock gravel and desert tolerating plants. We appreciated how clean the grounds were with zero trash or debris. There were no picnic tables but that was also ok since we bring suitable tables. This will be our spot whenever we visit our friends in nearby Goodyear. Thank you Saddle Mountain RV Park for such a relaxing stay!

We pulled into Saddle Mountain RV Park after seeing their road signs advertising "camping," only to…read morefind out they don't allow tent camping or utility trailers at all. We have a rooftop tent setup -- which is a very common form of camping now -- but were told it's not allowed. Their rules clearly haven't kept up with how people camp today. It was midnight, our kids were exhausted, and this was the only place around, yet no one was available to help despite signs saying "24-hour check-in." Everything is self-serve with a wall full of rules, and no real support for travelers passing through. If you're road-tripping, overlanding, or camping with a rooftop tent or small trailer, beware -- this park is RVs only and not traveler-friendly.

We found parking at the entrance although there is parking down the mountain another 500 feet away from this one if full. Even though it was 56 degrees at the start it can get warm as the trails are a moderate climb in parts but with good trail shoes and balance you most likely would not need hiking poles .

The park is very well marked with trail name, distance and direction. You can also download maps or use all trails to find your way about. Some trails even have signs with information about wildlife, plants, environment, etc. This is a heavily used park but as there are so many trails you can easily get lost in your own thoughts. Keep your eyes out for wildlife, including snakes. As for amenities: there are restrooms on site as well as places to fill up your water bottle . Plus free parking onsite.

The vistas are beautiful, with views overlooking golf courses and, as you start the climb, some stunning homes -- clearly a bit of wealth in the area.

There are restrooms at the base, free entry, and a parking lot that can fill up quickly, with many people parking along the road leading in.
