About

The Dillon’s Restaurant concept began in 1998, when Co-Owner George Valverde approached Rich Dillon to partner together to bring reality to Valverde’s vision.

That vision has now produced 4 locations. The first Dillon’s Restaurant opened in 1999 and was located on Thunderbird Rd., Peoria.  This location still had much of the original home style, farm house ambiance from the early 1940’s.  Entertainment included a live bands on Friday and Saturday nights. 

Dillon’s Arrowhead, located at 59th Ave. and the 101, opened in 2005 serving the gorgeous community of Glendale residents. The Bar and Restaurant hosts an ever-growing crowd, of enthusiastic golfers and sports fans, entertained by a live band on Friday and Saturday nights. The Patriot Room is our Salute and Thank You to:  All Our Military, Past and Present, who Serve this Country to Preserve our Freedom, and Keep Us Safe.
