Easter Brunch at Francisco Grande Resort
April 5, 2026
$189 $174
The Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort opened in 1961 and quickly became the spring training home of the San Francisco Giants. Located just west of downtown Casa Grande, the resort soon became a home away from home for John Wayne, who operated a nearby farm in Stanfield. Baseball legend Willie Mays was also a frequent visitor, famously pulling into the parking lot in his pink Cadillac with a license plate that read “Say Hey,” a nod to his iconic nickname.
In recent years, the resort has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation and has built a reputation for serving delicious Southwestern-style cuisine in a relaxed desert setting.
We’ll gather inside Legends Restaurant, the resort’s main dining room, for a festive Easter Brunch. This buffet-style celebration features an elegant spread of fresh salads, a prime rib carving station, omelets made to order, an array of hot entrées and sides, and a tempting assortment of desserts—plenty of delicious options to enjoy at your own pace.
Celebrate the holiday with friends, great food, and a wonderful Arizona tradition. This popular Easter outing tends to fill quickly, so be sure to reserve your seat early!
