Joe's farm grill Gilbert Arizona

Joe's farm grill Gilbert Arizona
March 11, 2011


There was handicapped parking that would have worked in front, but we missed it, we parked partially in the spot and unloaded with space for other cars to get through, and then pulled back in. There were doors on both sides of the building, we went in the back. I did have a little trouble getting through the line, the posts with the rope type thing to keep people in line was a little hard to get through in some places. After you order at a window they give you a buzzer, and you have to go back up and carry your tray and fill your own drinks, which my parents could help me with. The table we sat at was partially outside, the table was a little low for me to get under it, I learned the hard way. They had two family type restrooms that were very accessible. They were excellent; they had plenty of room turn around and around the sink and toilet.



VERY GOOD

Haus Murphy’s

Information in this post is Accurate as of March 10, 2013

Update:

March 8, 2012

We returned to this place because of the food that we had a year ago, this time I had to go to the bathroom.  There was a chair that was a little bit in the way to get down the hall that led to the bathroom, but one of the staff members moved it. I was able to make it in to the bathroom, it wasn’t very big but it worked for me.  Everything else was the pretty much the same.

There was no parking at the place, but there was parking fairly close to the building. We parked around the corner, but it wasn't real far away though. We chose to sit inside, they asked inside or outside before we even went in the building. So they took this inside and moved the chair for me. There was enough room to get to the table, and I could get under it well.

Tempe Diablo Stadium, Tempe AZ

Tempe Diablo Stadium


March 9, 2013 Update
We parked in a different parking lot this time and this hotel's parking lot which was up a steep hill and didn't want to drive my wheelchair down the hill, so we dropped me off and dad went and parked after talking to the attendant.



March 9, 2011

When we got to the parking lot they wanted us to back into the parking spot, but we couldn't since our ramp is on the right side of the van. So we just parked in the spot, and we were able with enough room to get out of the van. From there we had to drive/walk quite a ways to the will call window to get our tickets. This was at the bottom of steps up to the main gate. So we had to drive/walk most of the way back from where we started to go up the ramp to get in the third-base gate. The concourse area was not very big and I thought was very crowded. There were some family rooms which worked very well, and were very accessible. Our seats were on the first base side, and were in the sun for about the first three innings which made it very hot. After the shade came it was very comfortable.

Maryvale ballpark, Phoenix AZ

Maryvale ballpark


March 10, 2011

We went to Maryvale ballpark to see another Rockies spring training game at the Brewers stadium. There was plenty of handicap parking, but you would have to walk a little ways to get to the gate, but with my wheelchair I was fine. Inside could go all the way around on the concourse and not be too crowded with plenty of space. There was a family room close to our seats that was very accessible and worked great. Our seats were behind home plate at the top of the seats. The whole row was open with movable chairs for companions to sit.

Also while we were at the game George Karl from the Denver Nuggets was there watching the game with Rockies manager Jim Tracy. Since the Nuggets were in town to play that night. When he left he walked behind our seats, so I got to meet him and get a picture with him which was very exciting.

Cracker Barrel Mesa, AZ

Cracker Barrel


March 9, 2011

This was your basic Cracker Barrel with a ton of handicap parking in front which happen to be full of the time. We parked out always in the parking lot where there is room to unload. When inside it can be a little crowded in the store part, but in the restaurant part there was plenty of room. The bathroom was also very nice plenty of room in the room and in the stall.

In n out Burger

In n out Burger


March 9, 2011

There was good handicap parking with plenty of room for our ramp. There were a couple of doors which were easy to use, I couldn't open them by myself, but there was plenty of room in the doorway around it. It was easy to get to the counter to order and they bring your food to you. The table was a handicap table; it had bolted down seats on one side and was open on the other. This made it very easy to get under.
