Grand Canyon Caverns Inn & Restaurant Review!

 

My family & I are always looking for fun adventures and new spots to visit. We've done several cave tours, so when I saw we had a cave here in Arizona, where you can also eat dinner inside of the cave, we knew we wanted to visit. They have longer tours, or short tours that can be combined with a meal inside of the cave itself which sits a little past two hundred feet underground. We did the short tour & dinner combo which ran about $70 a person. They are located at Mile Marer 115 Route 66 Peach Springs, AZ 86434

The cave tour itself was fun, our guide was friendly, chatty and knew a lot of fun facts about the cave including how it was found, and that they've hosted events inside of the cave in the past. Overall, the tour lasted about fifteen minutes from start to finish, then anyone who had food reservations breaks off from the group at the end. There is a small wooden deck inside of the cave which hosts a few tables and a small server's area. 

We had ordered the steak, potato/broccoli dinner and my daughter had picked out the chicken dinner. I wasn't expecting an extravagant five-star dinner in a cave, but I was a little surprised when they did bring our food to us. The steak was a bit burned, the broccoli was cold and there were no toppings aside from butter packets or sour cream packs for the potato. I am not sure if it was because we were one of the last two groups of the night, so maybe the team was in a rush to go home. The other table inside of the cave with us was quite mad about their meals, as they arrived the same as ours, so they refused to eat it and asked for a refund. 

If I were passing by again, I might stop to do the longer tour, but I would not get the meal added on with it again as it was a bit of a disappointment. However, I can say being in the cave itself was peaceful. Aside from the other group dinning and our sever, there were no other people in the cave so it was very quiet. Cell phones of course did not work that far underground, but if you really wanted to be on your phone they had wifi you could hook up too or just enjoy a conversation with your group. 

Is eating lunch or dinner in a cave 200+ underground a activity you would enjoy doing??

Hash Kitchen Review!

 

I was recently invited out to try some of the new menu items at Hash Kitchen. It was our first time eating here & we had a great experience. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, for our appetizer we ended up ordering the Billionaires Bacon & the Cannoli donuts. The bacon can seem a little pricey at $8 for one slice of bacon, but my goodness it was amazing. The glaze they used is fantastic & it was a very thick cut of bacon. The Cannoli Donuts were amazing too, we didn't realize how big they would be so we didn't eat all of them just part. You could probably order it as a main course if you wanted. We stopped by the Peoria, AZ location located at 16222 N. 83rd Ave Peoria, AZ 85382.

For our main dishes I ordered the Red Velvet Pancakes which were huge! I was brought a plate with four big pancakes, syrup and cream cheese frosting. It was like having cake for breakfast! I was only able to eat about a quarter of them before I was full so I took the rest home for another meal. My husband ordered the Brunch sandwich which was amazing as well, it was the perfect combination of breakfast foods.

Drink wise I ordered the BYO Seltzer and choose watermelon + vodka. Usually I am not a big fan of most alcoholic drinks as they are too strong for me, but this was the perfect combination. My husband got a muffin top which was basically a boozy muffin in a glass, and he also got a shot. Inside the restaurant feels like a dance club, there is a live DJ playing and it was crowded when we went. We choose to sit outside, it was a little quieter and was quite comfortable for us.

Along with what we selected they had dozens of other scrumptious dishes & drinks. Food Portions are large, depending on what you order you'll be able to get more than one meal out of it. Our waitress was friendly & so was the host who sat us. This is a great spot to go for brunch whether it is for a date with your spouse, or a girls day out, this spot is a lot of fun.
