6 Best American Restaurants in Grand Canyon Village

“We enjoyed an exceptional dinner at this restaurant. Not originally on our list, we happened to be able to get a table near sunset time. The view was marvelous and added to the total experience. The ambiance, top notch service, and food were all on point. We loved the shrimp appetizer! I went out on a limb and got the elk tenderloin. The meat was tender, mild, and perfectly complimented by the reduction glaze. We enjoyed every minute of our dinner. It may be a chain but you would never guess it was. If you can only choose one upper tier restaurant in/ near the park go here!“

“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. 🥰“

“Loved it! El Tovar is a historical landmark that does not disappoint as a guest in the hotel or in the dining room and bar. The staff is very attentive and accomodating. We had an excellent time. Xanterra is a commendable concessionaire for Grand Canyon National Park.“

“Wir hatten zweimal den Buritto und haben uns noch eine Portion Pommes dazu bestellt. Das Essen war sehr lecker und kam schnell. Preislich ist es auch top und die Meng ist durchaus ausreichend. Die Pommes wären zum satt werden nicht unbedingt erforderlich gewesen.“

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

“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!“
