Run away don’t walk. Dirty and rundown. Bad food and the service is non existent!!!Overpriced and no one is working very hard to get your order together. You would do better heading down the road for McDonald’s!!

The breakfast burrito was amazing. The salsa that comes with it is phenomenal. It could easily feed 2, huge burrito. Worth the stop. Got mine with sausage.

First the food takes FOREVER!! Navajo taco they claim is so good is absolutely flavorless. Fry bead has no flavor at all. Chilli taste like dog food. The woman that took our order was extremely rude but the heavy set woman working the kitchen was worse and berated one of the younger (i think she is new) employees in front of all the customers and then when one customer tried to defend the young lady the heavy set lady was extremely rude. A gentleman asked where the restroom was and was told it's over there with no direction no point nothing my fiancee had to let the guy know where it was. The staff here needs some major attitude adjustments and probably some cooking lessons.

Hod dog was awful, and poorly presented.
The person who served us obviously didn't want to be there .
The place could be so much better being a tourist attraction
Very Disappointed
Also I think the food was overpriced considering the quality 👎

Food wasn’t that good. Patty melt was ok, the children’s burger was awful. I would recommend skipping this place and packing a lunch.

Wonderful food. A great 20 minute movie about the park and history.

You’ll need it, the food is VERY slow. One person running the whole kitchen.

One Navajo Taco is big enough for two!

Hands down worst place I’ve ate in a very long time. I would be embarrassed to have served the cheeseburger I was given. I was so excited when we walked in because it reminded me of an old café. Then I took my first and last bite of a $13.00 cheeseburger that looked like it came off the extra value menu of a low budget unknown food chain. I would’ve been better off driving to McDonald’s.

I don’t recommend this place at all. The food wasn’t great for the price. We only grabbed a bite because we were visiting the Painted Desert, but it wasn’t worth it.

The Navajo Taco was good but there should be a "meat" option.

Do not get the Navajo tacos. So bland, the onion was not diced small.. so I was eating pieces of onion that were the size of my thumb...and raw onions. It was very hard to swallow but for $12 I wasn't going to go hungry. The hamburger was dry, flavorless, and sad. Fries were okay. Please , save your money and go elsewhere.

Convenient food option in the park. While the quick-service food isn’t inspiring, it is reasonably priced and features an air-conditioned dining area and restrooms.
