Welcome to The Links Neighborhood Grill — Peoria’s Home Plate for Comfort & Community

Nestled alongside the lush greens of The Vistas Golf Course in Peoria, AZ, The Links Neighborhood Grill is much more than your typical neighborhood eatery—it’s a haven of scratch-made goodness, genuine warmth, and community spirit. Created and operated by Gabriel Rivas since 2010, this casual gem blends golf-course views with a welcoming vibe that keeps locals coming back.

From Family Roots to Local Landmark

Gabriel’s journey in hospitality began early, working alongside his parents in their Sun City cafés. “I fell into this business by default,” he recalls, reflecting on how their ventures expanded across medical buildings and even a bowling alley. He saw firsthand the devotion required. especially when his parents ran a café open seven days a week. When the opportunity arose in 2010 to take over a restaurant on a Peoria golf course, Gabriel embraced it—and never looked back. His dedication shines through in every aspect of The Links. Gabriel’s early years without the ties of a family allowed him to pour his heart into the restaurant, focusing relentlessly on consistent quality and building a dependable team. That perseverance continues to define the business to this day.

Scratch Kitchen with Heart & Flavor

What truly sets The Links Neighborhood Grill apart is Gabriel’s commitment to homemade quality. Nearly everything is crafted in-house: from sauces and pizza dough to hand-breaded chicken strips, onion rings, and burgers. Reviews consistently praise this craftsmanship:

“I love love love ...the onion rings are TO DIE FOR...Staff is ...”
“We belong to the Westbrook Village Golf Club ... Food is great, and each day has a special...”

These endorsements highlight both standout menu items and the attentive service at the heart of the dining experience. The restaurant’s menu—featuring hearty options like beef stroganoff, chicken parmesan, burgers, pizza, and salad bowls—caters to a broad audience. Daily specials such as pasta nights ($6 off spaghetti bolognese or chicken parmesan) add to the allure of thelinksgrill.com, making The go-to for both casual tastings and family gatherings.

In the Community’s Corner

Beyond being a local gathering place, The Links gives back.

That support has become part of the grill's DNA—gratitude and service woven into its role in Peoria’s broader community.
