Chuckwalla Bar And Grill

Go here for lunch. Dinner isn’t that great. Drink prices are FABULOUS tho! Yummy bloody marys

Very good food for being pool side and better than I expected. The tacos are very tasty and the fries are really good.

Ordered fruit smoothies for my kids and asked them to split it into two cups, which the bartender did with no problems. Later my husband ordered the corn dog, which took about 30 minutes to get. It was decent, but not worth the wait. Fries were tasty. Slow, but convenient if you are at the pool.

Food is okey but pricy, kitchen is extremely slow to get the food out, should not wait 30 mins for s cheeseburger, hit dog and couple salads.

This is a bar and grill located in the Shadow Ridge resort by one of their pools, the Chuckwalla, hence the name! At poolside I never expect good food but at a resort I thought just maybe! Well I was wrong!!!
For starters the food order is placed at the bar where drinks are made. They should have their own window for that. We were given a buzzer to notify us when it was ready. It took a long time to get the food being it wasn’t busy at that time. We ordered an appetizer which didn’t come out until we got the whole order. The appetizer was called PALM PALM shrimp. We didn’t ask ahead what it was but we were not expecting teriyaki sauced small shrimp laying on a bed of lettuce with a side of shredded raw carrots and celery pieces. It was the weirdest app I’ve ever had. I just didn’t understand it, lol!
As for the rest of the food well it wasn’t the best. My son had a corn dog and fries which is hard to mess up. The fries were good though! My daughter had fish tacos which I ordered plain, just fish and tortilla, but they still put tartar sauce and somehow got it on the side of fruit. My California wrap was turkey, cheese and some greens. Tasted like it was sliced deli meat with American cheese and no dressing inside. Again, the fries were good at least! The best part was the hubby’s Cobb salad! It was fresh and had lots of egg and bacon.
I was definitely happy with the bar drinks though! Beer is served in an ice cup so it doesn’t go warm. Michelada was made with a spicy kick!

Nobody is eating here for the great cuisine. It’s super convenient while hanging out at the pool, but that’s about it. We ordered the Chinese chicken salad, which was edible but not a taste sensation.

Tacos were just meh! Not appetizing. Cheese fries had white cheese. Wtf? The drinks were on the high side and not made well. Too little/​too much alcohol. It’s pool food at best, which sucks cause you have no where to go!

Guillermo was attentive, pleasant, and quick! Decent food and prices. Quick service. Friendly staff. All of these and more heighten the relaxing atmosphere of Shadow Ridge.
