| - Dillon's Grand is one of those staple restaurants for our family. My parents and grandmother live in Sun City Grand, and at one point my husband and I lived in Surprise - this was back when there were not many food options in Surprise. We had Dillon's and Jack in the Box.
I took my grandma to Dillon's today for her birthday lunch. She loves the onion rings, and they give dessert for free on birthdays.
My children have been to Dillon's so many times - the first time they were less than a month old - so they walk in like they own the place (in fact, my son "Dylan" thinks it's named after him).
The waitstaff there was really young, which amuses me at a place that is packed with senior citizens. My dad (who joined us as well) ordered an Amber Bock ($2 draft beers at lunchtime) and it took FOREVER to arrive because our waitress was not old enough to serve it.
One of my kids had chicken strips and the other had ribs, and those came out very quickly because we ordered them with our appetizer (onion rings - they are delicious, and not just because you can get a coupon for a free 1/2 order in the newspaper right outside the front door).
Then, it was as if the waitress forgot that we were going to order. I started to think maybe she thought the adults weren't planning on eating. Eventually, she came on over.
My dad and I ordered the burnt ends with the mild BBQ sauce, though I had mashed potatoes and asparagus while he had the BBQ beans and asparagus. I saw another review knocking the burnt ends - I like this dish. I like ribs, but I hate the mess. With the burnt ends, it's like someone has cut the meat off of the rib for you, so there's no work - only yum!
Grandma got chicken fingers as well. :-)
Then the waitress brought out a gigantic brownie sundae that we all shared.
