New American Restaurants in Holbrook, AZ

“💖 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. 💖“
