Canyon Rim Grill American • $

“Snack bar at a natural area / park / tourist destination? It’s actually pretty good. Portions are decent. Staff is very friendly and focused on getting you to the ride / tour you’ve scheduled. The dining area is enormous with beautiful panoramic views.

Kid-friendliness: This place has a lot of kid activities and the menu was great for little kids who need some food. Chicken fingers, burgers, fries, etc.“

“I brought my family from out of town here before the Cograil and they accommodated us well. The server was alone but very attentive and kind. The chef/ owner is a one man shop and executed the food in a timely manner. The absolute best pancake and breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. My family was impressed and satisfied with their meals. We will definitely be back.

The nostalgia and history of the restaurant is beautiful as well.“
