5 Best Restaurants in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

The high wood-beamed ceilings, stone walls, and spectacular views in this spacious, historic room are perhaps the biggest draw for the lodge's main restaurant. Dinner includes southwestern steak-house fare that would make any cowboy feel at home, including selections such as bison and venison. But the restaurant also prides itself on the use of tasty, heart-healthy ingredients and cooking methods and offers a solid wine list. Dinner reservations are essential in summer and on spring and fall weekends. Breakfast and lunch are also served.

Open for lunch and dinner, this casual café at Bright Angel Lodge serves basics like salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Harvey House favorites like strip steak and spaghetti round out the menu. For dessert try the flourless chocolate lava cake or the more casual ice cream sandwich with whipped topping and chocolate sauce. Be prepared to wait for a table: the dining room bustles all day long.

This walk-up café offers a casual dining experience at Guano Point. Chow down on barbecue pork or chicken, curried vegetables, and sides like mashed potatoes and corn on the cob as you take in the canyon's views.

The only indoor, sit-down dining at Grand Canyon West overlooks the Skywallk and Eagle Point and serves chicken tenders, salads, bowls, and vegetarian burgers. Beer and wine are also available. Meal tickets for here can be purchased as part of a package.

If you don't have time for full-service, the restaurant in Yavapai Lodge offers cafeteria-style dining for breakfast and dinner, including beef brisket, pizza, baked chicken, and salmon.
