Restaurants in Grand Canyon National Park

  1. El Tovar Dining Room

    Set a stone's throw away from the canyon's edge, it has the best views of any restaurant of the state, if not the country. If you don't get a table with a view - you can request it in advance but it won't be guaranteed - the grand stone and dark oak dining room warms the soul like an upscale lodge of yore, and the food, especially the steaks, makes the trip worthwhile.

  2. Grand Canyon Lodge Dining Room

    Some people get belligerent if they can’t get a window seat, but the canyon-view windows are so huge it really doesn’t matter where you sit. The menu includes buffalo steak and vegetarian options, but don’t expect any culinary memories. Reservations are not accepted.

  3. Arizona Room

    Striking a wonderful balance between casual and upscale, this restaurant is a solid option. Antler chandeliers hang from the ceiling and picture windows overlook the canyon. Mains include steak, chicken and fish dishes. No reservations; there's often a wait.

  4. Bright Angel Restaurant

    Families love this busy, down-home coffee shop for its casual vibe and kid-friendly menu. However, with no canyon views and only perfunctory service, it’s the least appealing of the rim’s three table-service restaurants.

  5. Arizona Room

    Western steaks, barbecue dishes and homemade pies and tarts are worth the wait. Dining room is adorned with antler chandeliers and canyon-view windows, while the back porch is perfect for sunset margaritas.
