Cameron Trading Post, perched above the Little Colorado River on Highway 89 is our favorite place to bring newcomers to the Colorado Plateau region. Interesting things stand the test of time here. I've been told boys born around 1920 used a Spanish armor breastplate to slide on village dunes. In Old Oraibi, beans and bean stems in a pot placed in an underground storage area and forgotten, carbon dated at Northern Arizona University to about 800 CE/AD. Cameron Trading Post and the first bridge across the Little Colorado are in that swirl of time. Stone architecture from 1916 or earlier, stands solidly in place. Most indoor areas are modernized. Some dining room decorations date to the early years. The pressed tin ceilings were common in my grandparent's world - and rusted away long ago in most of the USA. The main trading post has everything from old, valuable, regional items, to gleaming eye-grabbers from China luring toddlers and youngsters into tantrums. There are also food and other useful items for everyday life, like hanks of wool yarn, etc. The restaurant has excellent, regionally based dishes for your dining appreciation, wspecially the giant, hefty, Navajo Taco. There's a hotel here. A woman I knew, losing her hundred years alive to COVID in 2021, worked in the hotel as a teenager. Gas Station, apparently an RV Park, another great shop full of antique Southwest treasures are on the grounds. This is an exceptional stop on the Colorado Plateau. read more

04/16/26 Definitely worth the stop. The employees are friendly and the food is fantastic. While we were visiting the area, my husband wanted to try frybread. The Warrior Surprise did not disappoint. The frybread was huge, soft, and fluffy. The taco toppings on top were delicious and the egg on top was cooked perfectly. The prickly pear stuffed french toast was a delight and had just the right amount of sweetness. The french toast was accompanied by regular syrup and prickly pear syrup. The two items were a flawless pair of savory and sweet and we shared both items. read more

Wednesday, 4/01/2026 - We tried this Cameron Fine Dining Parlor in this Cameron Trading Post place. Address is 466 N Hwy 89, Cameron, AZ 86020. This is a store with bathrooms, a restaurant inside, small section selling snacks, jewelry, clothing, pottery, toys, nicknacks, etc. We went to try the restaurant. Parking outside is plenty. But... the foods were NOT good. Very bland, dry, & over cooked.. The Navajo Taco wasn't bad tho. But everyone at our table did not like their dishes. We just ate it because we bought it. None of us were very impressed. But the server was nice. Water tasted great. No funky or metal taste to water or ice. Service is on the slow side. It didn't look to packed inside. But it took them like 10 to 15 minutes to seat us. It took them quite a while to bring us our tab. I think maybe they are short staffed. I don't know. But our server, Keneah, was very nice and professional. If you're very hungry, stop by here to grab something to eat. Besides that, i don't think we'll ever return to eat at this place. But we may stop by to buy nicknacks. Try the restaurant for yourself and determine. None of us liked it very much. read more

We were driving to Colorado and found Cameron Trading Post on Yelp. We decided to pop in for lunch. There is a lot to do in this little center including the art shop, hotel, post office, gift shop and restaurant. From the moment we walked in to the gift shop, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Everyone said hello and welcome. We walked through to the restaurant and were sat immediately. Our server was Brenda and she was so pleasant and attentive! I recommend asking to sit in her section if you decide to dine. We ordered the Navajo taco and Green chili soup which came with a piece of fry bread. All three were good but needed a little more seasoning. I added salt and it was very good. I would recommend sharing the Navajo taco. It was huge and I felt bad not finishing it! The soup was the perfect size. After lunch we walked through the gift shop. Endless isles of beautiful Navajo rugs, baskets, Kachinas, jewelry, clothing, hats, trinkets and art. You could spend hours exploring the gift shop. I definitely recommend stopping here if looking for a day trip from the Phoenix area or passing through. read more

Definitely an interesting place to stop by A huge gift shop with lots to offer. Which I think alone is worth a stop They had quite a lot on the menu. I went for the Navajo taco. It was okay. Lacked flavor for me and could have been warmer upon arrival. The fry bread was delicious tho. My bf got the fry burger and he really enjoyed that, it was pretty tasty. Coming from New Mexico I got their sopapilla. It was pretty good but not the same as NM. Prices are very good for the size of the meal. There was a line when we arrived but it moved very quickly. Lots of seating, and looks like there might be some good views by the windows. Restrooms are very clean. Service was average. Felt a bit slow for food. The servers weren't exactly warm but when addressed when I mentioned something was forgotten they were very kind and patient. Would I stop again? Hmmm maybe? Would I recommend you go? Hmm, def for the store to get a souvenir but perhaps you wouldn't miss too much on the food read more

We passed by on our way to the Grand Canyon. I went through the gift shop first and then the restaurant. I had the Navajo taco and it was huge. I wouldn't recommend for one person because of the size. I didn't try it, but people say the bison burger is a good choice. I also had a prickly pear lemonade which was tasty and refreshing. Our server was nice, it just took a while to get our food. The place seemed very busy. read more

Fun stuff in the main trading post (some authentic, some not so much), and super fascinating history to be learned in the more exclusive store adjacent. Originally native art, ceremonial outfits, stunning jewelry - a lot waaaaay beyond my price point but the window shopping was excellent. The best part? The gardens. The landscaping and grounds are an oasis that I could have stayed in all day!!! read more

I went here on a tour from Sedona to the Grand Canyon. We were able to get some great local artwork and souvenirs for family and friends. We ended with lunch at their restaurant and so glad we did. The portions are huge! We had the fried bread which was fluffy and delish. I could only eat half of it. We left full and satisfied. read more

Stopped here after a day trip to the GC, arrived hungry, left happy! Cameron Trading Post is a massive tourist center located within the Navajo nation. This is a great spot to purchase indigenous art, textiles, and memorabilia. The lay out is similar to a lot of the SW themed stores you find along I10/I40 and Rt 66, but the vibe is more authentic. I highly recommend popping into the gallery thats adjacent to the primary store and restaurant, there are some incredible historic and art exhibits in it. As for the restaurant, we came for the Indian tacos and they did not disappoint! Huge piece of Indian fry bread is topped with housemade chili and toppings including delicious green chiles. It's freezing cold in there thanks to piping AC- appreciated on a hot summers day but grab your sweater before going in if you're thin blooded like me. Don't sleep on the Indian tacos! They may be targeting tourists with them, but lemme tell you, that target was spot on in my case. Yum! Service was wonderful, view out the large windows was beautiful, don't expect fancy- this is just good, filling food at a very decent price. This is absolutely worth the stop. read more

Everything you'd want in a "Trading Post"!!! Food, gas, souvenirs, snacks, etc. plenty of parking and friendly staff. We had a very nice breakfast. Waitstaff was helpful, friendly, and efficient. Good food and beautiful view out the wall of windows!! The gift shop had something for everyone. I'd think I was done and then see something perfect for someone else! The scorpion lollipops were just the cherry on top as a gag gift - but the kids literally ate them up!!! If you're there, you need to stop and see for yourself! read more

The restaurant has nice interior. Food is fancy for this area but meats are often more cooked than ordered. Merchandise in the main building is higher in quality than many touristy spots. The really fine artisan pieces are in the smaller studio building across the parking lot from the main post. Lodging including last minute booking during high season is usually more available here than the nearest alternatives in Tuba City. read more

Stopped on our way to Horseshoe Bend for lunch, as I wanted to try the fry bread here. The dining room was beautiful with a nice fire going and a lot of Navajo art. The building is historical going back to 1920 and is very quaint. I ordered the French dip sandwich made with fry bread and I asked for coleslaw but was given fries instead. The sandwich was a little heavy with the fry bread and could easily be split with someone unless you're extra hungry. The fries were just ok. My husband ordered a burger, which he said was good. I also ordered a sopaipilla for dessert which is basically fry bread with honey, cinnamon and powdered sugar. This was a little different than a sopaipilla I had at another Southwest restaurant in the past but still good. Service was excellent apart from the coleslaw mixup with us being checked on by several people during our meal. read more

This place is huge! Literally an all in one tourist attraction - It houses a hotel, restaurant and gift shop. Please note my review is only based in the restaurant and gift shop. Stopped by on the way to Horseshoe Bend. Based on the exterior I wasn't expecting much, and boy was I wrong. It's so much to take in from traditional souvenirs to handmade trinkets and jewelry. I wanted to try the Traditional Fry Bread, placed my order to go from the restaurant and it was ready really fast. The toppings, butter, cinnamon , powdered sugar, and honey were all conveniently packed separately so not to make my bread soggy and yes, it was delicious. The guy at the jewelry counter was really nice and helpful, explaining the stones in the antique earrings I purchased and helped me to find a necklace to match. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Stopped here after a long day of hiking, and I couldn't help but feel like I'd been transported back to the 1940s. The place has an old Western vibe that sets the tone for some classic local cuisine. Of course, we had to try the Navajo taco -- it's huge and definitely enough to share between 2-3 people. I loved the crispy edges of the fry bread, and if the meat and beans had just a bit more flavor, it would've been a total hit. We also tried the prickly pear wings, which had a nice kick of heat. I just wish they had been a bit crispier for that perfect bite. Bonus: You can grab some souvenirs and snacks for the road on your way out. A fun little stop with a lot of character. read more

On the road from southern Utah to the Grand Canyon, there aren't a lot of places to stop and refuel your gas tank or your body. Fortunately there is this amazing place to eat authentic Navajo and Mexican food, shop for Native American crafts, or just generally soak up the Old West atmosphere. We both bought a variation of Navajo fry bread, which made it home to our subsquent stay in Phoenix. It doesn't hurt that they are situated on a very scenic red rock landscape. A must for people traveling in Northern Arizona. read more

The jewelry is beautiful Staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice place to stop and look around.

Worth the stop in - a little chaotic, but lots of different Native American items. I stopped in for a sticker, but they have hundreds, if not thousands of different products. Everyone was friendly and there were a lot of people around to help. I grabbed a bracelet made of small beads and while I'm not 100% sure this is a true Native American product, there were silver and stone jewelry that seemed to be authentic. I'll stop for food next time and to browse their rug selection! read more

Not just delicious food, but a huge shop full of local items. The Navajo Tacos are fantastic and big enough to share

If you've visited the Grand Canyon, you've probably been to the Cameron Trading Post. I've been here mostly when I've taken tour guided tours of the Grand Canyon and is a great stop for all things touristy- to shop, to eat, and to pee. The dining room is through the gift shop and it's usually pretty bustling. When I ate here last time, I wanted to get something that I can't usually get where I'm from so I tried the Navajo Taco, which is made with fried bread. This was huuuuge and definitely tasty. The gift shop had a good amount of things to choose from and was a great place to kill time before heading back on your tour. Great stop! read more

We LOVED Cameron Trading Post! We spent probably close to an hour in there looking at souvenirs and making decisions about what we wanted to buy. They have a huge variety and some of the best prices we saw during our trip. Once we finally made our purchases we headed to the restaurant for dinner. Service was pretty slow, our server was inattentive and we weren't really sure why because there were quite a few servers and less than 10 tables with patrons seated. I ordered the Navajo taco and my SO got the Navajo burger. We were both very pleased with our meals. The portions were very generous and the prices were great. We got a sopapilla for dessert. The restaurant is decorated with handmade Navajo pieces that are all for sale, it was really neat to look at all of the art. We really enjoyed our stop at Cameron Trading Post, just wish the service was a little quicker inside the restaurant. read more

This was my first time having Navajo tacos and they did not disappoint! The portions were huge and it was pretty tasty! Chips and guac were yummy too, nothing special. I was very disappointed with the service, though. We were rushed in and out in 20 minutes. Within 90 seconds of sitting down, 2 separate servers had come by, one asking us for drink orders and one for food orders. While this may seem like attentiveness, I assure you it was not. They practically ran by ask they asked and when we told them we were not ready, they ran away. The same server returned to ask again about food perhaps 1 minute later saying "ready yet?" Food was on the table quickly and she brought our check immediately. Like I said, within 20 minutes of sitting down they had us out, as it was uncomfortable sitting and trying to enjoy food while they slowly took away glasses and utensils and persistently asked if we were ready to pay. read more

Stop here for lunch after our visit to Page. There aren't a lot of food options between Page and Flagstaff, and we read on Yelp that this was a must-stop place for tourists. We arrived around 2 PM and got on the waitlist. We were seated within 15 minutes. The dining room was nice. Service was okay--not particularly friendly. The food came out super fast after we ordered. Unfortunately, it wasn't great. The fry bread was probably the only highlight--each soup and stew came with one. Our party ordered the beef stew, chili, and pork chili stew. My teen devoured her beef stew--though that might've been because she was starving after our canyon tour and hikes. The taco was disappointing, according to both my husband and sister-in-law. Nothing special in flavor or ingredients. Tip #1: Don't order the chips and salsa. The salsa tasted like Pace, and the corn chips were cold and unappetizing. Tip #2: Taco portions are huge--split one if you just want to try it. While the place had some charm, the food was bland. It could be great if it tasted more "made from scratch." It felt like the food was pre-made in large batches and just served to order--probably why it came out so quickly. We probably won't return--at least not for dining. Next time, we'll likely drive a bit further to Flagstaff for better options when traveling to or from Page. read more

We came straight here from the Grand Canyon on my friend's recommendation. The restaurant sits in the back of the store and has a lot of seating and great views. It wasn't too busy when we came in and were seated almost immediately. Our server was really nice and checked on us constantly. I ordered the Navajo taco and it was huge. It could've been shared between two people, but we all ended up ordering one each because we didn't anticipate how much food it was. The flavors of this tasted like a taco salad but with frybread instead of a tortilla bowl, but it was still good! This is an extremely filling and heavy meal, so keep that in mind when ordering this. As a table, we ordered the sopaipilla as a dessert, but it was much heavier than we expected. We thought it be lighter and more airy like other sopaipillas we'd had, but this felt like the frybread from the Navajo tacos repurposed for this dish. It came with honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon to pour on/in. It all tasted good, but I wouldn't order this after the Navajo taco as both were quite heavy and dense. read more
