Dillion's Bar-B-Que

AT

The Arizona Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium

Okay, okay. I know what your thinking. Does this guy own stock in this place? Is he a secret publicity agent for the chain? Or Does he have an apartment in the back of Dillion's? Hahaha. I know right.?. The truth of the matter is, I was invited to dinner by two of my very sweet friends to share in some really fun festivities with a meet up group. But I have never been to this Dillion's.  Kathy and Cindy, My friends and I were really looking forward to this adventure. :-) So we gathered our supplies and loaded up the Yukon, filled the tank and headed out. With Cindy at the Map's navigation app on her phone we managed to make the trek in about forty minutes. A few desert Sand Dunn's later, Dodging some F-18 Super hornet jet blast from Luke Air force Base and we were at the spot. I know what your thinking... Why would you go and eat at the same restaurant again? Well, This Dillion's is absolutely amazing. You walk in the door and by the way, It is to disability code. And you find a familiar aroma and friendly smiles to greet your senses. Just through the main entrance there is an alcove that's wide enough for a wheel chair or power chair. and the restrooms are at either side. As you enter the main dinning area take a look to your right. The room opens up to an expanse that gives everyone at a table a very personal view of the 66,000. Yes I did say SIXTY SIX THOUSAND GALLON AQUARIUM!

The Gold fish are spectacular to,,, Oh wait I Mean the Shark's and Stingray's are absolutely spectacular to watch. And don't think your in for some tiny little guppy size fish. Six foot Angel shark's five and six foot black tip and white tip's glide through the crystal clear salt water tank right along side six foot long stingray's. And before you even ask, no! They don't have Shark on the menu. Hahaha. Cindy and Kathy both had the Brisket with the perfectly cooked broccoli. I had the Crispy Chicken Club Salad with a mound of blue cheese crumbles. Our waitress Cindy was absolutely on the job. With a table of nearly fifty in our party She and the rest of the staff had the food hot, cold and on the table in great time and with mind bending skills. Like five plates on one arms. I was on the edge of my seat. Haha. Okay wrapping this one up, I had enough food for two days after. There was plenty of room for my friend Cindy to maneuver her power chair through the dinning area and the Albino Alligator in the Bar side of the place was easy for her to go check out. Keep hold of the kids. Just kidding. Of course Dillion's get a great TDD rating for the food, décor and service. But the restaurant and zoo really need to beef up, pardon the pond, lighting in this incredibly huge parking lot. The departure after sundown could be a bit hazardous for both disabled and none disabled alike. It's open out of city limits environment. Desert critters abound. Be careful when leaving. You just may run into some real Java Lina out there not just the fake one's in the front of the entrance. Go check out this one, but if you're taking the kids, just make a day of it. From what I hear the Wild life zoo is amazing to tour.
