7 Best American Restaurants in Grand Canyon Village

“Lots of complaints here seem to be picking at nits; this place is great. I recommend a reservation, which seemed easier to get than at other sit-down places in the village. With the reservation we were seated quickly and service was fast throughout.

Food is great! Especially given the remoteness and beauty of the locale, I was very grateful to find such amazing food. We didn’t have steak but the pasta and vegetarian protein bowl were amazing. The protein bowl in particular had a lot more flavor than I was expecting; they served it with rich Spanish rice instead of the polenta.“

“In my opinion, this is the best restaurant they have in this little section of 5-6 different places to eat. Food was made to order, fresh, and we both liked everything we had. My wife had the burrito and I had a chicken sandwich and those were both great. Service was also very good and everyone was kind.“

“We just found this place. They had a bit of everything on the menu and a little convenience store/ gift shop as well. The staff is so polite, professional and friendly. The food was great and reasonably priced. The restaurant had a great vibe and we will definitely be back. 🥰“

“This place was amazing! Endor and Jill's service earned them the largest tip I've ever given. They were attentive and professional, friendly and accurate. I could go on forever about them. The food was like it came out of the finest restaurant ever. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something a little finer while staying at the Grand Canyon.“

“Desert View Trading Post is a great little stop—perfect for a cool treat after climbing the Watchtower! We grabbed some ice cream here after enjoying the incredible views, and it totally hit the spot. The shop itself has a fun, classic park vibe with plenty of snacks, drinks, and souvenirs, all in a super convenient location near the Desert View parking area.

The staff was friendly, and it’s a nice spot to take a quick break before continuing along the scenic drive. Definitely worth a stop—especially if you’re looking for a refreshing treat and a few keepsakes to take home!“

“Very friendly staff. Great food. Quick service. Everything we needed after our long drive from Las Vegas.“

“Overall great experience and drinks. We had the pork belly (definitely try...if you like pork), duck tacos (these were ok) and the sweet potato fries (I don't like sweet potato and these were good). The service was amazing, everyone very friendly and inviting. Sat right next to the large window that had an amazing view of the canyon.“
