The outdoor seating and view of the golf course at this restaurant cannot be beat. The night we went they had live country music, which was really enjoyable and several patrons actually got up and danced. We went for happy hour, and the food was amazing! Generous potions, and the service was good as well. Happy hour pricing was good. I would recommend Quail Creek Café, but if going with friends you would like to have conversations with, the music is pretty loud so it makes talking a challenge. We felt like we had to yell at each other to be able to hear. read more

Quill Creek Cafe North Scottsdale I always highly recommend dining at golf courses in Arizona. You get lush green grass, red mountain, and deep blue water views. @quillcreekcafe has a large covered patio overlooking their Raptor course. Gaze out at views of the pond and pin at hole 18 set against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains. The menu is American with Southwestern flare. My prime rib sandwich with side of mac was hearty without being too heavy. It washed down well with a refreshing John Daly. Yes, I just crave one when on a golf course. read more

Back again for my post Scottsdale Music Academy meal! This Salmon rocks! I try to avoid the pull, but that's just 'crazy talk'!

We popped in here after having no luck at Isabella's across the street and I'm so happy to have discovered this gem!! We had a larger group and they sat us without issues on the patio in front of the fireplace with a gorgeous view of the mountains. This is a more casual dinning spot but the service was friendly and attentive and the food menu had options for everyone! We started with the guac and chips which was a heaping serving with lots of large chunks of avocados, I had the shrimp Cobb as my main and it was such a well put together salad, my partner had the stirfry and enjoyed that! We finished with the cookie skillet which was as expected (delicious)! I would definitely come back as it was the perfect spot for a casual dinner out with friends!! Their menu also has some fun items you usually don't see on other menus! read more

You could improve just about everything ! I'm giving one star for the view , because the view is the only thing this restaurant has going for it ! From trying to reserve by phone ,no one picks up ,I had to call the golf shop and they went looking for the hostess ! We had dinner on Thursday 21 at 5.30 pm and the hostess did not even greet us ,just dropped us off at our table !!! Maybe some training for these 16 year olds ???? Two people chose the chicken quesadillas ,there was no chicken in them only corn ,unbelievable !!!! Then Emma our waitress who was nice enough until she wasn't ,dropped off the check while my husband was still eating !!!! We never asked for the check ,we were not finished !!! Then she disappeared and we had to flag down another server to get the dessert menu !!!! We had the brownie and the ice cream had freezer burn ,I told our waitress and she said oh I'll tell the kitchen ?????? She should have brought out another dessert or comped the dessert !!! Also our waters were never refilled ! Horrible experience all round and these problems are an easy fix ! Do better ! read more

The restaurant has a very pretty setting, and the food was enjoyable. Service stood out as friendly and attentive, adding to the experience. Unfortunately, there were quite a few flies inside, which made dining a bit uncomfortable. It would really help if the restaurant addressed this, as it took away from an otherwise nice meal. read more

This is the only restaurant we visit for all of our special occasions- birthdays, holidays and anniversaries! We love sitting in the patio and enjoy watching the golfers, weddings or sunset. My daughter loves giving the ducks in the pond break and she gets to run around and it doesn't bother anyone's! Staff is ALWAYS friendly and accommodating! Food is always consistent and delicious. We love coming here. read more

Visited June 2025 I keep coming back to Quill Creek Café because... well, have you seen the view? It's like dining in a golf-and-garden magazine...pond, flowers, ducks, golfers, and a breeze that makes you forget your to-do list. It's where I go when errands run long or when I absolutely refuse to turn on the oven. The chicken wings? Crispy magic. I get the sauce on the side and always take extras home. And yes, my hubby has been known to order their famous Chicken Pot Pie in the middle of summer. It's huge, creamy, flaky, and way better than mine. Zero regrets. Also my gluten-free girlfriend absolutely loves the Club sandwich on gluten-free bread and her hubs loves the massive cheeseburger with mac and cheese in a tiny skillet (adorable and delicious). The staff? Friendly, never pushy, and always spot-on. Come hungry. Stay for the view. And if you see a girl sipping wine and watching ducks for an hour... yeah, that's probably me. Stop by and say hello! read more

Our waitress Jessica did a great job and she made sure to account for my friend's dietary restrictions. They also did a great job on refills. I got the Grayhawk salad - probably the best salad I've ever had so I would definitely recommend. The only thing that was off was the hostess wasn't present for over 10 min and there were people waiting to sit with reservations. read more

Jessica! She needed to be listed first because she was an amazing server! Exceptional is an understatement- she made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. She knew the menu, gave recommendations in every category, was attentive the entire time and made it a perfect experience. We had burgers and the Southwestern Caesar Salad - added salmon per Jessica's recommendation and it was outstanding. The salmon portion was great and cooked to perfection. We will be back! Views are great but the restaurant needs to be updated or it would get 5 stars! read more

Great service from Tyler. Had a 90th birthday party with 14 guests. Everyone loved the ambiance and the food was delicious! Chicken wings, salads. sandwiches....all good! We weren't rushed so we were able to enjoy our time together celebrating! read more

Despite the vitriol of my previous review, my family and I decided to relent and give this place another chance. We are glad we did. Handling of the bill was done in the traditional paper-based style, with nary a blasted iPad in sight, and all was again right with the world. Meanwhile, we all had great food at reasonable prices. Serving sizes were extremely plentiful and we all felt that we got a great deal for the money. Service was excellent as well. Way to go, Quill! I'm glad you apparently saw the error of your ways with that former iPad grab and have corrected it. We can now honestly re-rate you as five stars, recommend you to others, and will return. I am leaving my original review only as a warning to you and any other establishment should they relapse and ever try to pull that old tip grab stunt again. read more

Came her for an early Mother's Day lunch with the family last Saturday and everyone was very satisfied. The Staff was well dressed, polite and attentive. We started with drinks and my brother-in-law and I had the Prickly Pear Margs, so good!! Then it was on to the entrees, I had the Chicken & Hatch Green Chili Enchiladas with the Poblano Chili Mac & Cheese as my side. I also asked if they had Jalapeños and was excited that they had fresh peppers so I asked for one grilled or fried. Everything was just delicious! We have been here only a couple of times when we came here to visit before moving here the end of last year. Will be looking forward to coming here on the weekend to try more items from the menu. One thing I must mention about sitting out on the patio. The birds, they are gutsy and if you are not careful you could loose part of your lunch. read more

Food is great, service is good, beautiful views! Love the enchiladas! This is one of my favorite places to eat.

We had dinner at QCC last night and the experience was disappointing. Our party of 4 sat outside which was nice. Great view of golf course. Beautiful evening. Our server warned us that they were short staffed and offered us chips and salsa as compensation for the fact that the kitchen was running behind which was a nice gesture. It went downhill from there. It took over an hour for our meals to come out. I and my friend's wife got the Prime Rib sandwich. Both dry and mine was tepid at best. Service was friendly but painfully slow as I said. We enjoy QCC but will hesitate booking again any time soon. read more

This is a great place to stop for a meal, the views are amazing and this location is fantastic for those of us who are in North Scottsdale. The outdoor terrace and fireplace area is huge and very inviting and the view across the pond is so lovely looking out into the GreyGawk golf course. I have been outside on the terrace many times, but this time it was a tad cool since the sun had set. I opted to stay inside and ordered the Nachos which were really good. The ambiance is so nice, cozy and laidback, just my kind of place. The restrooms are always spotless and I really appreciate how nice they are. I will definitely be back again and again! read more

Quill Creek Cafe - View from the patio at Quill Creek Cafe Grayhawk Golf Club - Cafes Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Beautiful views from outdoor patio when eating. Food was good, but service was a bit spotty.

We had dinner last night on the patio and we had a server that was exceptional. His name was Michael and he did say he was new. This young man was friendly, nice and on top of what he was doing. Quill Creek Cafe, what a GREAT hire! I would want Michael working in my company, especially if he was working with customers! Don't let him get away............ read more

Wonderful view and setting you would expect at Grayhawk in North Scottsdale. Dillon our server was friendly, helpful and very efficient making us feel welcomed. We all ordered the Prime Rib sandwich, thinly sliced prime stacked on a warm roll with pepper jack cheese and a side of au jus and creamy horseradish sauce. The sandwich was very filling and everyone enjoyed it. Friend ordered a Kettle One martini and was a bit shocked to learn it was twenty dollars! Suppose he should have expected that however I thought it was just a bit overpriced. They have a huge outdoor patio that looked inviting. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

The food is great the french fries are awesome I recommend the burgers Service is good it's normal speed. The ambience is really large and big a lot of room for customers. five stars. read more

Prices have been rising and food quality dropping. This is the home of the $15 martini ((with the well vodka, no less). The Filet Cobb Salad which my wife and one of our dinner companions ordered did not contain filet but some other steak, such as sirloin, which was tough and chewy. My Wedge Salad with shrimp was tasty, but only contained 4 shrimp, not nearly enough for a $20 salad. The menu is old and tired and hasn't changed in 3 years other than the prices which have sharply increased. Too bad because it's a beautiful setting and we used to enjoy it greatly. You read more

I love this place and we come almost weekly. They have fabulous chicken and hatch green chile enchiladas that I have at least once a month. I also enjoy their nachos, teriyaki chicken bowl, and chicken pot pie. The French fries are some of the best in the valley. My husband regularly eats the turkey club or the prime rib sandwich and gets fries and rings. Soups are darn good as well. The views are beautiful and I don't play golf, but it's such a nice and relaxing atmosphere. If you stop in, you won't be disappointed. Kelsie and Michael are amazing and will steer you well. read more

I'm so disappointed. We got take out and the Barn Burger tasted like it was made yesterday and came with just meat and bun. Phil's Grill is always good and thought it would be the same. Not so much. read more

A favorite place to dine alfresco, catching a glimpse of a beautiful sunset and all the desert has to offer. Quill Creek Cafe offers both inside and outside dining options. Cool evenings you might enjoy the comfort of their giant outside fireplace. Warm evenings are cooled by circulating fans and occasionally the feel of well positioned misters. Prices are reasonable and the selection is robust enough to satisfy most everyone in your party. My favorite selection on the menu would be the wings. They cook them crisp and season with either buffalo or ranch. Can't decide, order them 50/50. Wine prices are excellent and they have a selection of finer wines priced more on the retail side and not the inflated restaurant prices we are all used to seeing. Fish, burgers, steak, whatever you might be craving, Quill Creek Cafe will somehow satisfy that craving. read more

Great time on the patio. Weather was great. My lunch of Cesar Salad and Shrimp (3) was nice. The wait staff was very nice and efficient. The corn chowder is the best I have ever had. I buy 3-4 bowls and eat it for dinner. The salsa is sub par as is the quacamole it's tooo mild and tasteless, no kick at all Lets fix it read more

The Quill Cafe has become a family favorite spot for special occasions. It's a bit pricier as it's inside of a country club, but when you're willing to splurge a little it's a great spot to dine. I'm obsessed with their Navajo Corn Chowder, the best corn chowder I've ever had hands down. For their entrees, I've always stuck to their baby back ribs with are super tasty which come with seasonal veggies and I always choose their garlic mashed potatoes. I'm also a huge fan of their Halibut. It's cooked well and this time I subbed out the seasonal veggies for sautéed mushrooms which were yummy! They have a very large patio which is awesome during the nice months in AZ that overlooks the golf course. They have yet to fail my family! Always great service and food. Our waitress tonight, Sabel, which is a super cool name, was spot on, very accommodating, and friendly! read more

What stood out you ask .... This is not negative - I hope it's helpful ... The first thing that stood out was the unhappy ( hostess ) blond hair and jeans - she acted like customers are an inconvenience to her ... no warm welcome / no smile no HELLO . Just monotone mumbling with head down ( no eye contact ) - btw - at the time I came in their was about 20 customers in the whole place at most and those were being waited on and served food and attended too. so it's not like this hostess had any juggling or mass transits of people to seat or to manage or attend too. ( In fairness to the hostess I hope all is ok with her ans in her life as some of us just have bad days or come from a bad morning start or some personal problem that consumes us ) but we need to keep our composure if we're in the hospitality restaurant hostess biz as that's the first thing any customer will see -- your face your interactions .. The Food and Service was very good as always .. this young lady at the front desk is your restaurants first impression to any customer, She simply needs YOU the management To mentor coach and train her.... by an experienced successful hospitality Mananger .. she also needs to act like she might want the job she has as well . if she doesn't like her job then she should not be at the Quill restaurant as the first face you see maybe their are other positions at Grayhawk she could be better at .. everyone can be trained ... but attitude want interest and desire is key ! Ans so this note is to management - train her help her and I'm sure she can be better.. it's up to you .. Food was good service was good. read more

the view and atmosphere is so wonderful at the cafe in the Grayhawk Golf Club. The patio has a great fireplace and overlooks the golf course and lake with the mountains in the distance. The food is average prices for a country club; it is really great though. They used to have a southwest chicken wrap that was my favorite but have since taken it off the menu. All the other salads are wonderful as well. read more
