10 Best American Restaurants in Holbrook

“Came here as a recommendation from our host where we are staying at and so glad we did. Food was delicious and portions are perfect.“

“The green chili cheese crisp was excellent. The green chili is so good.“

“💖 Had an absolutely wonderful experience here, on a crazy long haul trip (ALL the way cross-country, from Maryland to California), back in 2018. I had thought that we should stop for the night in Gallup, as we were sufficiently tired and hungry at that point, and the sun was setting, in July, mind you, but my traveling companion was hellbent on not stopping for the night until we had cleared one more state line for the day. Now, if you know anything about the route from Gallup, NM to Holbrook, AZ, you’ll know, given the above details, that it was quite late by the time we rolled into Holbrook, and by then of course, after an unexpected 2 extra hours of driving through the vast, dark, western night, it seemed imperative that we snag a hotel room first and foremost upon rolling into this faraway little oasis in an unknown desert, on the opposite side of the country from anything familiar to us. So it was REALLY late at night, and we were famished and road weary and exhausted by the time we arrived at this incomparably pleasant and cozy little restaurant. It may have been the only place still open that late at night, and it was very nearly time for them to close as well. Yet they kindly welcomed us, treated us with the utmost hospitality and patience, and served us one of the most memorable and tasty meals we had anywhere, in 20 some days straight on the road. We had a wonderful and uplifting conversation with, I believe, the owner, as we were leaving, and she walked with us for a bit out to the parking lot. An amazing experience that I’ll treasure for a lifetime. I really hope to visit this wonderful establishment in this delightful little town again someday. 💖“

“the food is always very delicious, the cashier is always very helpful and cheerful. It is a great place to eat.“

“Arriving at 6;30 on a Thursday night we were able to find a seat in a fully packed restaurant. We were asked about drinks immediately. Since the restaurant was packed the 2 waitresses had their hands full. But they were attentive and kept us updated on our orders. It did take a bit of time however, later we found out there was a single cook who also was training a new staff member. Kudos to the kitchen staff for getting the food out hot and ready to eat. Under the circumstances the limited staff was working they all handled it wonderfully!!“

“We were so happy to find this local steakhouse to have supper at. The food was delicious! I had the salmon dinner. The salmon was done perfectly and was so fresh tasting! My husband had the chicken fried steak and it was excellent as well. The dinner rolls were warm and fresh. Best of all was the wonderful and friendly service! This is a place you want to try!!“

“We ate a wonderful, nourishing breakfast here prior to visiting Petrified Forest Nat’l Park. The food was freshly made, excellent and matching the descriptions. The bacon was done to perfection. French Toast nicely crisp on the outside and tender inside. Huevos Rancheros were very nice. Coffee was quite good for a diner. Service was polite and prompt throughout. Well done, Camaleon!“

“Best gr.chili burgers in town!“

“Good food and service!! Restrooms were open unlike the yellow arches next door...“

I’ve eaten here in the past and never had a problem. Maybe the people I’ve been helped by (at drive-thru or walk-in) have been unemotional when it comes to authenticity in service but they have been quick with the service.

When I was there the store was clean and the restroom seemed to be in decent shape. My visit was uneventful but nothing memorable.“
