All the times I've been to Williams as a child and an adult, I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of dining at Anna's Canyon Cafe, but I finally had the opportunity a few weeks back! My husband and I came in an hour before closing to grab some lunch before our long drive home. We felt bad coming in so close to closing, particularly since no one else was dining, but within 10 minutes of sitting down the cafe filled up with about 6 other tables. Phew! Our waitress was real friendly and served us quickly without making us feel rushed. I also appreciate her bringing me a fresh iced tea in a to-go cup before we left! I very much enjoyed that during the first leg of our journey home :) They offer a very sizable menu with both breakfast and lunch items. So many things sounded good, but I was incredibly happy with my choice of the Canyon Club. My sandwich was huge and stacked with quality meat. I chose fried pickles as my side and it was a mighty generous portion. My husband had the Patty Melt with a side of fries. He usually has no problem finishing his meal, but his sandwich and fry portion was also so big he struggled to finish. He was also happy with the portion size and flavor. The inside felt like a museum with how well maintained some of the historical elements were. Booths were very comfy, even for us plus sized folks, and there were two gender neutral restrooms on site. You can enter the cafe through the main front door or down the back alley off Route 66. We usually come to Williams once per year (sometimes twice); we'll definitely be making this our go-to lunch spot! read more

After getting up at 3 am to watch the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, we were ready for breakfast when we arrived at 7:30. The three of us were seated right away in the booth by the front window in this cute little cafe that fits the vibe of the town. We ordered: - Biscuits and gravy: Delicious. More gravy than we prefer, but easy enough to work around. The hash browns were nice and crispy. Apparently you can get a half order, which is 1 biscuit (2 sides), but we didn't realize that until we got the check. - Denver omelette: A little dense but good. The toast was okay. I should have asked if I could have a biscuit instead. - Pancakes with bacon: Standard cakes but love that they serve it with warmed syrup. Bacon was cooked well. - Hot cocoa: super chocolatey and lots of whipped cream. Overall a solid meal. We were sharing meals and the servers kept wanting to clear our plates, but they finally got the drift. read more

A group of friends and I had stopped in for breakfast two weeks ago when we were visiting the area. Ambiance: Inviting and warm space with a casual comfortable feel. Regular tables and booth seating available. They sell some various mugs, shirts, candies etc. Service: Really nice, friendly and smiley folks. Great service! Food & Drinks: Breakfast served all day! Breakfast items include various plates, omelets, sandwiches, burritos, pancakes, and south of the border items. Lunch items include sandwiches, burgers, salads, and south of the border items (enchiladas, tacos etc). Drinks include iced tea, sodas, juices, milk, tea, and various coffee drinks. I did the Breakfast Sandwich with ham, scrambled eggs, cheese, grilled sourdough and has browns on the side. Enjoyed it with some regular coffee and all was great. Friends enjoyed Corned Beef Hash, Biscuits and Sausage Gravy, and Country Fried Steak. Prices seemed great, especially for being from out of state where things are a bit more expensive. Parking: Easy parking alongside the various streets read more

Nice restaurant but the breakfast was overcooked and very bland. Ham and cheese omelet, hash browns, toast. 20 minute wait to get in and 20 minutes to get food. Average I guess for a weekend. Staff were nice. read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning and left very happy. The country steak was excellent -- juicy, with a light gravy that was flavorful without being too heavy. Really nice, well-balanced taste. The service was outstanding: the staff is super friendly and attentive. They keep refilling your coffee without even having to ask. Food came out of the kitchen quickly and everything was hot and fresh. Perfect way to start the day! Cozy, homey atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Places like this deserve support -- real small American businesses with heart and care. Highly recommend if you're looking for a classic American breakfast done right! read more

This was a gem to find! We arrived on Friday morning at 9:30, were seated right away and service was excellent! Food was delicious, hearty, everything we hoped for, I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros, eggs floating in a pool of chili, my husband devoured the Biscuits and gravy... HIghly recommend when passing thru Williams! read more

A great breakfast spot. I ate here 3 years ago; it was great then and still great. Seated and coffee served within minutes. Ordered the Spanish Omelette special with a green chili smother. The omelette was an explosion of flavor with each bite. The servers never let my coffee get below 1/2 full. The restaurant is very clean while being located within an historical building. I look forward when in town again to dine here again. read more

Amazing breakfast food. Good portion,amazing taste and all the employees are very friendly

On a recommendation as the best breakfast in Williams, I stopped into Anna's which is housed in this historic building right off Hwy 66. I ordered the corned beef hash breakfast with over-easy eggs and hash browns. Despite the corned beef hash not being scratch it was still a very good breakfast experience overall. The coffee was just okay, but the strip of bacon that I tried was perfection. The service was good, the dining room was clean, and the owner, Anna, even stopped by the table and was very friendly. The value for the meal was good as well. I'd definitely consider stopping in the next time I'm in the area and driving down Hwy 66. read more

Camping in the area, I discovered Anna's when researching where to get hot coffee at 6am- Initially their website gave me a "um what" feeling, as their menu offered seemingly such a strange randomness of Mexican, American, Oriental, and other flavor profiles, but the charm of it all grew on me, and I decided we should also eat there for the fun of it. Such a solid decision, the ample variety made it hard to choose, as their combinations sounded very unique and delectable- and everything was so reasonably priced. The staff was initially very welcoming & quick with the coffee. When we arrived, we were seated along with a few other tables of drive-thru trucker regulars- hearing their friendly banter, with the staff, gave a great local routine morning happiness ambiance. We opted for the Southwestern Country Fried Steak & the Breakfast Burrito The plate portions were massive- the country fried steak was amply smothered with cheese & a delicious pork green chili. The entire plate had so much bold flavor; a quintessential diner homecooked well-made quality meal If we lived in the area, we'd be regulars too- a very highly recommended eat read more

I'm very disappointed with this restaurant's policy. Our group didn't even sit at the same table, yet they still forced a 20% group tip on our both separate bills. We were separated the entire time, had different servers, and didn't receive any kind of "group" service -- but somehow still got charged like we did. When we asked about it, the staff didn't offer any explanation other than "it's policy and written on the menu." It feels unfair, misleading, and honestly disrespectful to customers. If you're going to add a mandatory tip, at least make sure the situation actually qualifies. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for honest and transparent service. read more

Very warm and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast we had was very good. Went both days on our weekend for breakfast!

I had the Chai (dirty) and my friend had the cafe mocha. I had the rancheros and she had the breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious and equally matched by excellent service. If you are in the Grand Canyon area, highly recommend read more

So delicious!!! I ordered the Denver Omelet and requested added jalapeños. The result was perfect. My husband's hash and eggs were also perfect. Our server (and everyone else we came in contact with) was friendly and cheerful. The bustling atmosphere was lovely but not rushed. The price was about what you'd expect for the area, but not overpriced as many of the other restaurants nearby. Highly recommended. read more

Employees were very friendly and attentive. Food was warm and delicious, it hit the spot! Glad we stopped by!

The huevos rancheros were delicious I wish I would have came here the first day of my grand canyon trip

They keep terrible hours for having such awesome food. There is a waitress, Lisa, who will ruin your experience with her terrible attitude and service but if you get another waitress I promise you'll love your eating experience. read more

Excellent service and food was delicious. Some of our group had breakfast, some chose lunch. The breakfast burrito was great and the bacon and eggs were cooked well. The bison burger had great seasoning and was cooked well. Club sandwich was great and came with a giant side of fried pickles. Teri was an excellent server! read more

Came to this restaurant and they had horrible customer service. The manager Stephanie is so unprofessional and is a waste of space there. We found hair in our food and she didn't want to comp or discount the meal it's like isn't that's common etiquette and common sense also my wifes food came out late while most of us were almost don't with ours she was very rude and needs to be checked. The food wasn't even that good either. I don't recommend. And on top they still charged a 28 dollar gratuity which is wild . read more

First time coming with my husband, and we had such a great experience! Our waitress was super polite, helpful, and welcoming. She kept checking in on us, and another waitress even offered coffee refills (you don't get that at Black Bear--sorry, had to throw them a little shade ). You can really tell they care about their service (and keeping us awake lol ). Definitely recommend anyone looking for good food and friendly service to come check this place out--you might leave smiling and caffeinated! read more

Have been here a few times over the years. I forgot how tasty the eggs and bacon are here. Friendly servers and fairly large tables. Highly recommended for breakfast or brunch when you're in Williams. read more

Anna’s Canyon Cafe - Bacon, eggs and hash browns. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Williams, Arizona

Whenever I find myself in Williams, AZ, I always have breakfast (or occasionally lunch) at Anna's. The food is always consistently good, wait staff friendly and their prices aren't as inflated as some of their competitors. The restaurant is in the parlor of a one time cat house and still retains some of its bawdy charm. They also have a small gift shop that sells some fun items, some Route 66 paraphernalia and some noting their questionable history. lol read more

Great food. Friendly service. Very quaint old, but super clean place. Great breakfast place.

Went to Williams,Az for a day trip. Ended up spending the night and went to Anna's Cafe at 6:30 am. Coffee was hot and the atmosphere was so enjoyable. I had the Huevos rancheros breakfast. Oh my !!! So very delicious and Stephanie (our waitress) was amazing. 5 experience. read more

Wish I could do no star! The manager Stephanie is so rude and immature. I asked to speak to the manager because my pancakes were undercooked and she said "oh you want to speak to the manager" I said yes please, she turns around in a circle and laughs and says "I'm the manager". She thought she ate but she didn't she was giving pick me. Don't come here food was mid too. read more

Everyone spoke highly of this restaurant so we figured we'd give it a try for breakfast. It's awkwardly setup, coming in from the back there isn't a clear indication of where the hostess is. There was a person at the register at the back but she ignored us. Someone else walked up and asked if we'd been helped finally. Ordered fruit instead of hash browns, the only fruit that wasn't a weird tan color was a singular purple grape. It just didn't look right. Or server would disappear and not check on us. The cooks in the back yelled out the servers names if they had questions or their good was done. It just felt like a disorganized mess, just like the fruit. My husband's ham steak was really good though. read more

Lyt and Linda's "Eating across America Tour" continues to Williams, Arizona stopping at Anna's Canyon Cafe for breakfast. And what a breakfast indeed! Anna's is located on historic Route 66. We chowed down on some western favorites. Linda had one egg over hard and a stack of thick but airy pancakes with bacon nice and crispy just the way she ordered it! Yum! I had a Western Denver omlette with diced ham, onions, green peppers, and cheese. I made a special request of sautéed onions and peppers and the chef made it just right! Gave him a tip too! Meal was complete with golden hash browns and buttered toast. The server's name was Laura, and she greeted us with a smile and western hospitality! And a special note: they even had K-9 menu for doggies ‍. Really loved this place! read more

One of the best food experiences yet on out driving adventure. We booked the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel for a couple of nights at the last minute (we would have been better off at the Best Western Plus). After checking in and settling in, we took to zig-zag route for what seemed like a mile through the corridors to get to the lounge. While there we asked the bar tender where she would go locally for breakfast - and here we are! We decided to walk downtown from the hotel, - it may be only a couple hundred yards, but we are both hobbled, but we did it. We got to Anna's around 11:00 local time, but they serve breakfast all day! Seating in a booth and coffee brought immediately! My wife ordered her usual two eggs over easy, bacon, and crispy hash browns. I ordered steak and eggs - steak medium, eggs OBB (over, broken, and bouncy - over hard), hash browns, and sour dough toast. Within a normal waiting time, all was delivered, exactly as ordered. My wife commented that at least there is someone who knows how to cook over easy they appeared perfect. My steak was just slightly more toward medium well - not there, just in that direction. But the taste,was superb. Cut easily, NO gristle at all, and very lightly spiced. Both of us were very pleased with the hash browns - real potatoes, not frozen, and cooked perfectly. My eggs were also cooked very well - NOT cooked to death, but nothing runny at all. We are in our very late 70's, and eat out frequently - we were very pleased. read more

What a great small dining location but large in great service, great food and just nice people. Special things make a high grade with us. The warm syrup for the delicious French Toast to the fillings of The Denver Omelette. Fresh salsa was obviously made in house. I had a coffee from the hotel, which I had not finished, and never a word of "outside beverages not allowed ", instead asked if I needed a refill, astounding offer. Service was over the top and food was served hot. Nancy our hostess on the Grand Canyon Railway was dead on with the recommendation. read more
