What started as a plan to head to Queen Creek Olive Mill for Garlic Fest turned into us deciding to…read moreskip the crowds and simply enjoy a delicious breakfast and that we did! Queen Creek Olive Mill is such a delightful place to spend some time. Of course, seeing the olives are fantastic, but their infused olive oils and the dishes they create with them are equally worth enjoying. There's something so relaxing about sitting outside in the shaded portion of the property, looking out over the grounds, and even taking a little stroll among the numerous olive trees. I ended up ordering the ricotta eggs on focaccia, and gosh darn, they were DELICIOUS. The white truffle-infused olive oil was absolutely the star of the dish. It added just the right amount of rich, savory truffle flavor without overpowering the creamy eggs. The focaccia was flavorful, perfectly suited for soaking up all those delicious flavors, and made the whole dish feel extra indulgent. My partner went with the bacon, potato, and ricotta breakfast sandwich, which he really enjoyed as well. It was hearty, flavorful, and a great choice for breakfast. Even though we originally came for Garlic Fest, we ended up having such a lovely and relaxing morning just enjoying the property and the food.

I especially love that you can sample many of the oils, jams and BBQ sauces before buying. I ordered from the Del Piero Kitchen and enjoyed the Mill Meatballs, which had great flavor, and the garlic Parmesan frites -- YUM! I also had a Hugo Spritz. A little sweet for me, but still refreshing. There are plenty of tables for small and larger groups, plus a bar where you can order drinks. I was tempted by the premade pasta and sauce dinners to take home, but decided to buy some wine instead. It was busy inside and quieter outside since we visited in mid-August, but they had the misters going. I can imagine how great the outdoor space and events are when the weather cools down. Definitely need to come back in the fall!

We got a giant pumpkin for our toddler to carve when we went on the weekend and there were way too many people for our liking. We came back during the week and it was much better so I would suggest going during the week right when they open at 3pm so you've got plenty of time to enjoy all the festivities. Admission: $12 general admission $10 with donated canned goods $6 for one-day pre-sale Kids 2 and under are free :) Free parking! I love that admission includes so many activities for kids to keep busy for hours. This year they added in a photo booth at the entrance which is so cute to help capture memories - often time it's hard to get a picture of the entire family if one person has to be the photographer so I hope this stays for the years to come! Corn maze, pallet maze, jumpers, train ride, petting zoo, slides, etc. are included. Food for petting zoo ($2) and pony rides ($5) are extra. Some things to keep in mind: They do not enforce mask policies here - you can wear them if you want to. Very dusty from all the dirt so maybe masks would be a good idea :) I would recommend wearing close toed shoes because of all the dirt/dust so you don't end up with brown feet... unless you're into that!

I brought binoculars and we stood in the grand stands to cheer on our family member. This offered not only a fantastic 360 view but a cool breeze as well. The drivers pits were tidy, garbage cans were easy to find and most importantly the bathrooms were clean and stocked! An awesome Sunday!

Not a bad seat in the house as far as the view goes and this year they had trams that would take fans to and from their parking areas when entering and leaving the races, which was nice when you have a bad knee like I do and walking takes the life out of you by the end of the event. Food selections were good as well, as there are plenty of stands and choices. I live 5 minutes from here too which is convenient for me to come for the races and l will definitely be back!

It was such a great decision!! Plan for a long lines to enter, but once you're in, almost everyone will be dazzled by the lights and join in for the merriment! We're looking forward to returning next year!

You tune into a radio station and get to zig zag through synced lights. You can bring your own drinks and snacks and it's a very straight forward experience and requires zero need to exit your vehicle. With that said, if you have young kids or want to experience it from the truck bed, there isn't really a designated place to set your seating arrangements up or to return to your safe seating arrangements following the event aside from just pulling off to the side of the road by the exit and blocked off exit, so keep that it in mind. I didn't see any signage for restroom facilities, so do your business before going or afterwards elsewhere. All in all, a fun experience for my young kids!

Second spin class ever and now I'm reminded on why I didn't sign up for more spin classes after the first class I took (also with Yelp). The bike remains stationary but you'll go to Hell and back.

You'd be surprised how heavy a 4lb. bar can get when you're pulsing for three minutes with it. Thank you Yelp, Hailey B., and Cyclebar for helping me get some cardio in today! I wish you much success! And props to Heather for being a GREAT instructor! I'm glad I don't work tomorrow. I think I broke my girly bits on my bike...

Dry towels and wet towels provided before and after the class. Facility, locker and equipment were spotless. The check in process was great too. Tell them the shoe size, find your name, and bike number on one of two tablets then you're done. That simple! It was just not my day. My locker key didn't come out after I locked. I had a hard time adjusting the seat and clicking on/off my shoe. The owner helped me finally got the shoe clicked on and bike adjusted. I guess some of the equipment and shoes were still really new. I do not suggest signing up for a bike in the back corner unless you like HOT cycling. You will have limited a/c. The big water bottle was perfect. It didn't matter the water wasn't as cold. The best source of proteins before and after the class: power bars, Fire Pie pizza, salads, beers, wines, and bubbly. Best workout to burn off all that and the next day too. Thank you to Cycle Bar for hosting and Hailey for coordinating another work it YEE!

We had bacon dates to start. These were tasty but not quite like we imagined. They were sweet and salty which was great. The blue cheese stuffing didn't quite jump out like we expected. For wine, my wife likes sweet wine. She tried the Riesling first, then the Moscato. Moscato was hands down her winner, it was sweeter. For me, I tried the Murphy Goode red blend and I enjoyed it a lot. Good balance, complexity, and smoothness. For the main course my wife had the Pasta Bolognese. It came with rigatoni noodles. The sauce was nice and thick and coated the noodles really well. It had a big robust flavor but wasn't overpowering. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. The sauce was a bit on the sweet side for my preference due to what tasted like a bit of balsamic, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was well cooked and tender. We tried a cannoli for dessert. The thing was huge! Shell was thick and crunchy. Filling was moderately sweet with a subtle brightness to it (like a touch of lemon). Ends were dipped in chopped pistachio.
