About Mother Road

Mother Road is a must-visit restaurant offering a delightful Navajo-inspired menu. Their Navajo burger with green chiles on fry bread and Navajo taco on fry bread are customer favorites, complemented by fresh-squeezed lemonade. The restaurant features a gift shop with locally made items. The Southwestern-inspired steak sandwich on flatbread is highly recommended, especially during the restaurant's Tuesday through Friday afternoon hours. Visitors praise the authentic Navajo fry bread, made fresh by the owner's grandmother, Rosie, who forms the dough by hand for each order. The food is described as incredibly delicious and made with love. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere. Although the restaurant is somewhat hidden, it is well worth seeking out for its tasty and affordable Navajo dishes.

The restaurant is a small, family-run food stand and gift shop in a former gas station that they are slowly renovating. The food is made to order, and the service is kind and considerate, though it may take a bit of time as the food is freshly cooked. Visitors can enjoy fresh, reasonably priced food and a gift shop with high-quality items, some of which are made by the family. The steak sandwich on fry bread is highly recommended.

The fry bread with honey and Navajo tacos are wonderfully authentic, delicious, and fresh, served up by two friendly ladies. The restaurant is easy to miss, but worth the effort. The kitchen is extremely clean, and visitors can view the chef preparing their meal. Eating outside at the picnic table is a pleasant experience, and some customers even order an extra fry bread to take with them.
