Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Goodyear – 2024

My wife and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings at first, we sat down and waited 20 minutes and still no one even asked if we wanted water. Thank you BWW!!! We went next door to Manuel’s for the first time and it will not be our last! The people treated us like family and made sure we were waited on quickly. The food came out quick and hot. Their chips are thin and so you had to eat the loaded nachos with the help of a fork but you can tell the ingredients are very fresh. The guacamole was great and the chicken was delicious by its self. I am looking forward to go back and try some more of the menu.

We had an early dinner here. My husband saw a location in Cave Creek while on one of his routes for work. I looked it up and found there’s one close to us in Goodyear. The service was great, drinks were great, atmosphere was great. Food was amazing!!! We got there about 1-ish and were surprised to learn that happy hour was going on. So we enjoyed our margaritas even more. Food was great, I recommend this place for sure!

Best Mangonada Margarita I've ever had. Visiting from out of town and my gf brought me here for lunch. Food was great too. But definitely try the margaritas!

We had a reservation for six of us. We were able to get in quicker because of this, which was great. The only reason I am giving 4 stars for service is that the front desk seemed irritated. Neither of the two working the podium would smile at all. All six of us enjoyed the food. The appetizers were great, especially the honey butter croissants. The salmon was excellent! Great place to hang out with friends.

Took the hubby here for his birthday lunch. He was in the mood for a Monte Cristo and not many places make these sandwiches. If you aren’t familiar with them, they are a ham and cheese sandwich dipped in egg batter, deep fried, and served with powdered sugar and raspberry jam. These were OH SO GOOD!!!! Tracy started us with the scones and butter frosting. I had a steak and we got a side salad. The service was amazing!!!!….and the manager was very attentive. We will be back here when in town. Thank you to Cheddar’s for making such a wonderful birthday lunch!

Great time at this restaurant! We sat at the bar and Jasmine our bartender and server, was incredible! Food was good, TV’s played sports and NFL games, and again- the service was awesome! Plenty of seating and very accessible!

Went for our Anniversary dinner. LOVED IT! Plus also it was my first time. Love the food. Ordered the Family meal. Our waiter Kris, was very attentive. And the manager on Duty was also attentive. Showed us how to open the Dungeness Crab. Guess he figured we were “Noobs”. We sure will be coming back! :D Trifecta sauce is good.

Took my kids out to celebrate my son's 18th Birthday ....it was his choice and I was up for trying a seafood place that I've never been to before. I was pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic and i definitely plan to dine here again. I wasn't impressed with the service we got but my taste buds prevailed and whoever served us was quickly forgotten. Great food and reasonably priced

My sister in law put me on. I really enjoyed my seafood boil here. I got 1 cluster of snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp, 2 potatoes and 1 corn with the trifecta spice blend and spicy level. The price was reasonable for all I got and I would come back for that reason.

This is the best place ever to eat. The management is so awesome as well and if you have anything special occasion, he gives you a free piece of cheesecake. Yum! The environment was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. Our service was just the best ever. I would go here 100 times over and over. Keep up the good work Oregano’s, you’re the best there is.

Service was slow. The waitress that had our table was also the bartender. She was rushing us when she would come take our orders and the expression she had wasn’t extremely inviting. The calamari was a little on the soggy side. The marinara sauce was extremely chunky hard to get it to dip. Wings and waffle fries were fine. Cheese bread was good. Got the Alfredo the Dark and it was lacking sauce and flavor definitely need to utilize more seasoning on that part. The numero-one-o was cooked well but again lacked flavor. Not sure if the seasoning ratio is off but it was extremely bland. The drinks were fine got the Bellini but was not overall satisfied. This was my first time eating here and I probably won’t return. Olive Garden has better pasta and appetizers in my opinion.

First the pros: we were told a 25 to 30 minutes wait and we were seated earlier than that. Our waiter was friendly enough. The cons: the food! We ordered a Caesar salad to start. It came with no dressing and only 5 croutons. We mentioned to the waiter that the salad had no dressing and he brought us sides of dressing instead of taking the salad back and tossing it with dressing in the kitchen. We ordered the shimply caprese, a deep dish pizza, the stuffed rigatoni, and the el Diablo shrimp pasta. The caprese was over salted to where I was crunching on salt crystals. The deep dish pizza was swimming in grease. The shrimp was rubbery in the el Diablo shrimp. And the stuffed rigatoni was bland and the ricotta filling didn't feel right in our mouths. There were flies flying around the restaurant. When the waiter came to give us our check, he saw that we had barely touched our food and asked if we wanted boxes to which we replied no. Unfortunately, he was not attentive enough to ask if there were any problems with the food. We paid and my kids promptly vomited in the parking lot. Never will return.

I went in to use a gift card I had, upon entering I noticed it had dim light, which would have been great if I was on a date in the 80's, but this was for lunch. The first thing I noticed was a damp smell, which could have been from a mop or the largest eating area, which still has carpet and could be the source. The decor was dated, I'm sure it is a Red Lobster branding, which is unfortunate for this location, because it doesn't seem to be pulling in younger people. Of the 10 or so people that were there during my meal, maybe three were under their late 60's. They really need to make a change to draw in a younger crowd. I got the pick four: lobster, sirloin, coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi. I thought everything was good, the only thing I would have liked is brown butter for my lobster. The staff was great, got me seated fast, came to get my order fast and checked up to see if I was doing okay.

Red lobster needs some modernization. The service was good and the staff was friendly. But the restaurant just looked dated, and the food was just okay. Ordered the Grilled Sea Scallops & shrimp skewers with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The shrimp and scallops we're very light on seasoning it's pretty much just salt. Could I use some butter. The mashed potatoes were Bland, but the coleslaw was pretty good. Even the biscuits didn't taste like they used to we're missing that buttery cheddar flavor.

We were sat promptly at the time we were told and given excellent service right away. The food was delicious and the Cheddar bay biscuits never ran out. Six people in our party and everyone ordered something different and loved it. The strawberry lemonade is pretty great too. 5 stars

Ordered the build your own pasta with rigatoni and mushroom sauce, topped with meatballs. Pasta was fantastic, but I want crazy happy with the meatballs. Service was great at the start of our meal, but our server got cut and her replacement was less than stellar.

Olive is consistently average. Breadsticks are always good, salad is hit or miss, this one had large chunks of yellow lettuce. Chicken Margherita was good but not great, Chicken was slightly overcooked, Cheese was not melted, Basil pesto waa good. Wife's Cheese Ravioli were good. I don't ever expect too much from Olive Garden so never disappointed.

The food was very good and they have great deals so it’s best to go hungry. I loved the unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. Our server was very friendly and attentive. She was very sweet and patient with my elderly mom for her birthday. It was very busy on a Monday but it shows that people enjoy coming here.

My boyfriend took me to your Cactus Rd. location for my 65th Birthday. I must say, there was not one thing I could complain about. Everything was 100%. Although it’s a bit out of budget to visit on a more weekly or monthly basis, I will certainly come back for special occasions. But perhaps I could visit a bit more by ordering an appetizer as my meal. We will be back! Oh P.S. there is something I ordered that I was not a fan of…The Macaroni and cheese…and that’s only because there was onions in it…I don’t like onions, lol And my favorite was your appetizer shrimp with sweet chili, which would be the first pic. Kudos to whoever came up with this recipe!

Kristina was our waitress today and she was SO lovely. She was friendly, professional, kind, and funny. She also made sure our drinks were never empty, we had plenty of bread, and that we received our order to perfection. I would definitely return and ask to be seated in her section. To the people at corporate or management at this location: Kristina is a gem and a keeper. She is the epitome of what white glove customer service looks like. We had: -Unsweetened ice teas > thoughts: The tea was good but I personally like my tea STRONG. So as long as you’re not a tea snob, this tea will do the trick if you doctor it up with some lemon and sweetener. -Bread with whipped butter > thoughts: always a classic. We prefer the whipped butter instead of the normal honey cinnamon butter. Def fat kid approved. -Full slab of ribs with two side house salads > thoughts: spouse found both delicious and a classic. -Chicken critter meal with two salads (Cesar and house) and a side of broccoli > thoughts: the Cesar slaps and so did the broccoli. Personally, the chicken critter batter was better back in the day but these are still a fave. I got the house salad but always remember after starting to eat it that I prefer the Cesar.

I am from Germany Me and a friend got some food here: -best fries I had since I am in the states so far -nice and friendly service -it was totally packed with people, but the waiting time for our food was still good -its was too loud there, i had to almost scream to talk or be right next to someone

The steak pho was so flavorful and perfect. I also had the beef spring rolls that were a good size and delicious!! I will definitely be coming back to try a few other dishes on the menu. You must try this place!!

I’ve had Pho in many places including San Francisco and their Pho was very good. If you’re close by give them a try!

This is a decent place for Vietnamese food that caters to Americans. This was my first time back in about 10 years and the food is still decent. The restaurant is small so it fills up fast.

Really good. French toast was delicious. Big servings. Kids pancakes served as an adult plate with 3 big pancakes. Kids can share the plate. The server was friendly . Wait times, not bad, about 20 mins for food. Roomy tables for a bigger family.

Hearty breakfast, but the Tostada was a bit soggy by the end of my meal. Would love to be served with chips or Tostada on the side. Overall, it was delicious.

Haymaker is a great spot for comfort food with a modern twist. The menu has a variety of hearty dishes, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The service is friendly, and the portions are generous. Whether you're craving burgers, southern-inspired dishes, or just a good breakfast, Haymaker delivers. It's definitely a must-try if you're in the area and looking for a delicious, satisfying meal in a casual setting.

Our experience here was great food was delicious. It came out fast and our waitress perfect just an overall great experience.

Everything was delicious, service was fast and friendly, dishes were plenty.

Some of the appetizers were pretty good, we got the triple dipper with southwestern rolls, sliders, and fries mozzarella. I recommend those. I don’t recommend the honey chipotle crispers…they were very sweet and pretty much tasted like bbq sauce. The Nashville hot boneless wings tasted chalky and had no spice to them. Service was mediocre at best. No plates given to share appetizers until we were halfway done, received a Dr. Pepper instead of the coke we ordered, and had to wait a long time for refills and more napkins.

The food was decent, but the service fell short. My coffee and water weren’t refilled, and no one checked on me after I received my order until i was ready to pay.

Drove 5 hours from California to go here and was greeted by a delightful human named Sam. An absolute star shining in this Waffle House that made my birthday trip the absolute best. Thank you so much, Sam!

My experience here was outstanding. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! The atmosphere and service enhanced the entire visit. The staff was very professional, and Tina, our server, did an exceptional job with a smile. She was attentive and ensured that everything was taken care of. Great work!

This place isn't good anymore, there are way more negatives than positive. Ridiculously high prices, the brown rice and fried rice didn't taste good, the orange chicken was decent flavor but mushy, the honey chicken did not taste good and was mushy, the California roll was terrible - it was like eating sushi from your home fridge that you bought at the grocery store the day before, the decor of the building and seating is just so dark and heavy and stuck in the 2000's... P. F. Chang's is the last resturant I would ever go to, especially if I wanted Chinese or Asian food. I haven't been since 2 years ago, and before that was 15 years ago in Los Angeles, CA. I tried to give it a chance again but no, never going there again. Positive was that our waiter was nice. And I guess another positive is that their resturants are consistant across locations, and even consistsnt with their freezer grocery store items- which we tried once but never bought again.

Came in for 3 course meal for 20.99 but it was false advertising it's a 2 course meal with 1 shared app. Come on really.... anyways ended up with orange chicken and all I taste is orange no other flavor at all 20$ for a 1 entree size from Panda it's over priced for some crummy food. My wife's Singapore noodles was also bland for a place that charges so much you would think you would get soup or a egg roll or something. Just over all were both very unsatisfied think twice before coming you can go almost anywhere and pay less and get A LOT more

My boyfriend and I went to dinner. Every time I have gone to dinner with my parents, they have given us excellent service. This time it was not like that. The waiter who served us and even the person who brought the food to our table were very rude. We had to ask for plates to share. The service in general was very bad. server name Jack

I had a fantastic experience at Black Bear Diner! The Hot Spicy Italian Patty 2 Egg Combo was absolutely delicious – perfectly spicy and cooked just right. I also tried the Denver Omelette, and it was just as impressive, full of flavor and very satisfying. The service was excellent too, with friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Black Bear Diner in Goodyear offers a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with generous portions. I had the country fried steak and a pancake, and both were great. The country fried steak was flavorful and perfectly crispy, while the pancake was fluffy and delicious. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, making for an enjoyable dining experience. If you're in the area and craving a hearty, satisfying meal, Black Bear Diner is definitely worth a visit!

The food was good, I prefer the Waffle to the sweet cream pancakes. The service was poor, we waited a long time for utensils. We asked for sourdough toast that never arrived , and we were hardly checked on. It was our first time here and the service ruined the experience but I’m sure all the food is good here.

Most chain eateries belonging to a corporation have very similar menus. I ordered a club sandwich. The entree at BJs may have a different name, but it's the same chicken or Ribs or burgers. The sliced bread for my sandwich was dry, and the meat had no taste. The company I had with me enjoyed their chicken dishes. If there is a next time for me, I will just order the appetizers. They were delicious.

Awesome food! We were from out of town and our DIL suggested us eat here, she happens to work there and every thing was awesome down to the root beer wings, chicken Alfredo scrimp scampi and steak ❤️ the staff is wonderful

This is a very managed restaurant. Consistent food and good service. We like the deep dish pizza, queso and potstickers.
