We were greeted with a smile and received help with what we might like to try from the menu, we decided to try the Route 66 sliders. They were delicious. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere. I would recommend it!

Patio

It's an odd set up in that there's just a barrel at the front that says order at the bar. The bartender must be used to confused tourists because he had to explain to find your own table inside or out, get your own drinks if it's not alcoholic and order with him. After ordering you just put your number on your table. The Caesar salad wasn't romaine but instead field greens served on a pie pan. The pizza was descent but there are better options one street over. One and done for us but if you don't mind this type of restaurant it might be for you.

The food was good but I found the menu to be limited. The staff was friendly with a great patio for a nice relaxing evening. The portions were large in my opinion and want expecting that.

Took a while for the single person working there to come over to us. But she was great and could answer all my questions! Beer was good, I think I didn't pick right. A lot of their stuff seemed hoppy even if it was labeled as not. Their salt and lime beer is a keeper!!!

ROUTE 66

The pizza and wings here were delicious! We walked in, found a table, ordered at the bar, and didn't wait too long for the food. We all ordered a cocktail and they were also good. Service was good and the inside was clean. The building is cool looking as it is realllly old.... I wonder if it is haunted.

Cool spot, beers on tap, tasty food, skeeball, and a mini shooting range. Couldn't ask for more! Also loved the music selection playing while we sipped on cold beers. Make sure you order at the bar before you sit down. You can leave your tab open. The fried zucchini were a massive portion and great for sharing. The pulled pork was enough to share as well. Sweet bbq sauce went well with the pork and the fries were nice a crispy. The inside of the building is very cool looking too.

(+) Tourist here. Took the train ride, round trip. Arrived back from the Grand Canyon and we already planned to have dinner in Williams. Short walk from the train station, we thought a brewery would have something for the adults and kids. We were not disappointed at all, and that's not because of low expectations or that we were really hungry. (+) Simply order and pay at the bar. Solid menu. (+) The number of beers on tap were plentiful and delicious. I recommend ordering a flight to sample up to 6 and find what you like most! (+) Pizza was good, pulled pork sandwich also good, and the servers were nice and willing to bring us extra sauce and dressing when requested. (+) Ambiance was chill, not too rowdy or loud and crowded on the Wednesday night we visited. The large square table seated our group of 9 and we enjoyed a great meal to cap off a wonderful visit to Williams and the Grand Canyon.

Beer

This brewery was great. Atmosphere was good, great music, staff is so friendly, food is great and the beers were tasty. Heather was a great bartender.

Great dog friendly patio across from the train station. You order from the bar and they bring your food out to you. The pizza was ok but the cheesy bread was so good. Fun place in Williams for a quick bite with the family.

Road-trip to Grand Canyon. Decided to stay overnight at Williams so that the drive and day at Grand Canyon is not to long. One of restaurants that is open late in Williams. Really good bar food and the ipa/beers were pretty good. We got a beer sampler including the ale. They have to go options too. Sat outside to enjoy the fresh air. Ordered at the bar and food was delivered pretty quick. Bar has also good selection of merchandise. Highly recommend getting a drink with the bar food. Can't go wrong the Buffalo wings and pizza.

Supreme Pizza
Nick C.

This was a great spot to stop at for lunch on a weekend. You order food and drinks at the bar and then seat yourself. The patio is dog friendly and it was busy but didn't feel crowded. The service was really fast and friendly. We enjoyed our drinks and were pleasantly surprised good how good the food was. The pizza was pretty good, with good flavor and cooked well so that the crust was firm without being dry or mushy. They could have spread some of the ingredients around better rather than in piles, but that's just being pretty picky. The cheesy bread was also really good and I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try more of their food. The sandwiches looked good and seemed really popular too.

We ate at Canyonlands Restaurant during our visit to Bearizona and, unfortunately, it was pretty…read moreunderwhelming. The setup is counter-service, and one thing that caught me off guard was being asked to choose whether we wanted to sit upstairs or downstairs before we'd even seen either area. I picked upstairs, but after getting up there, I probably would have preferred downstairs. The upstairs bar was closed, which made the space feel a little empty. Food-wise, everything was just... mid. I ordered the Smokehouse Burger with fries. The burger itself was fine, but there wasn't much flavor. The pulled pork on top was absolutely drenched in BBQ sauce that tasted like it came straight from a grocery store bottle, and it completely overpowered everything else. The fries arrived room temperature and bland. I ended up covering them in salt and dipping them in ketchup, which I rarely do. My boyfriend ordered the Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. The mac and cheese didn't taste fresh, wasn't very hot, and was lacking flavor. The chicken was decent, and the bread on the side was okay, but nothing stood out. The one thing I really did enjoy was the theming. The restaurant fits the Bearizona atmosphere well, and I appreciated the rustic lodge feel. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. The ingredients felt low quality, and there wasn't any exceptional service to make up for it. If we visit Bearizona again, we'll probably eat in town before heading to the park. I'm glad we tried it once, but once was enough.

Kitschy brewery and restaurant with amazing service and food…read more Server was great at answering our questions and pointing us in the right direction when it came to their food and drinks. I had a smoky old fashioned to start my night and I kept going back to how great it smelled and how smooth the taste was. I chose to have it with their own house bourbon. Food wise, we went with their Canyon Tacos and shared an order of tots. The frybread was crispy and pillowy, the meat was very well seasoned and the pickled red onion really brought the whole dish together. The tots were nice and crispy without being too oily. The place itself was like walking into Williams itself. Lot of wood and mountain core decor with a small creek/wishing fountain. The front part of the place is where you'll find their gift shop. There is also some games upstairs. And they sell their beers and spirits. This is a great place to spend a few hours.

Every single time I come in here, the food has another dollar added to the price, or.. heaven forbid you want French fries with your cheeseburger. You can absolutely forget about it, it's al a carte my boy. That is French for- that'll be an extra 6$. Also, their "avacado" for an additional 3$ is nothing more than a prison spoon scoop full of mashed up avocado spread on to one bun about as thick a Peasley Pubic hair. Lastly, you'd think for how much they charge, you would be able to eat your food without expiring in sweat or needing goggles for my brow being absolutely drenched trying to eat my 26$ cheeseburger al a carte. Thanks guys, I also had to hit the bathroom directly on the way out. BTW - you need a plumber to come out the toilets barely flush! And I will finish with this. That is not a sour beer, that's an ipa with vinegar in it. You cured the hops 3 weeks too long.

Spenser's Pub is a full service bar inside the Grand Canyon Railway and Hotel. I visited this pub…read moremultiple times during our stay. I especially loved their selection of local Arizona beers on tap. And I also enjoyed a fantastic margarita. Bonus, they do provide to-go cups, so you can enjoy your cocktail or beer in your hotel room. The service was always top-notch, and the bartenders were able to give us great advice on exploring the town of Williams. The only critique I have is the lack of TVs for watching sports. They are all pretty tiny, and when we went, offered no sound. Overall, if I came back to Williams again, I would definitely swing by Spenser's.

The ambience is lovely. Like old time 1920s with dark wood and pastoral paintings…read more The bar itself has some awesome history and makes it worth stopping in for a drink. I had a "martini" that was excellent and tasted like kahlua and cream. I went back for seconds after eating the somewhat "challenged in taste" department food. I'd eaten a big lunch, so I just went for the Asian themed salad. The lettuce looked like it had seen better days, and they covered it with those crunchy Chinese noodles to try to hide the wiltedness. I hope there was no slime, but I'm not entirely sure in hindsight. I only ate half of it and ordered another drink instead. The yuk factor ratcheted up with my husband's bratwurst, which was served on a pretzel roll. It looked good at first, and he dived in, but after a couple bites he noticed the mold on the bun. Mold! On the bun. Ewwwww! This made me look at my own salad with a more discerning eye, to be sure. To their credit they brought him a different meal, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, that he proclaimed "bland, needed salt and pepper (there was none on the table) but at least there was no mold." I felt bad for the server, because if they're serving food this crap on a daily basis, they must be terrified to go to work. It's a real shame, because I think the hotel is lovely. They need a better food manager who doesn't allow this kind of poor quality to walk out the door of their kitchen. Oh, it was our anniversary too. Happy anniversary to us! Woot!

In my opinion, it's the best steakhouse in town and easily one of the best restaurants in Williams. We've eaten here several times, and it never disappoints. My son swears they make the best hamburger around, and I can't resist their sweet glazed jalapeños--they're the perfect balance of sweet with just the right kick. The lamb chops are absolutely outstanding, and the filet was cooked to a flawless medium-rare, exactly as ordered. One thing we always look forward to is their Christmas tree that's decorated year-round. It's such a fun, unique touch that makes the restaurant feel extra welcoming. Whether you're staying at the Best Western or one of the many nearby hotels, it's incredibly convenient and well worth a visit. Great food, cozy atmosphere, and consistently delicious meals make this a must-stop every time we're in Williams. We'll definitely keep coming back!

We love Italian food, so we decided to stop in here. The place was clean, and everybody was friendly and helpful. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a quick service type set up You order at the counter, and then they bring your food to you. We asked what the turnaround time was, and the gentleman said about a half an hour. As I mentioned, the entire town was busy, so we decided to stay for lunch. Everything on the menu sounded good, but We decided to split the hog pizza, With. Tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, italian sausage and salami. They use a woodfired oven, which makes for a much higher quality pie.... Our food came at almost exactly a half an hour. It was a very decent sized pizza. The crust was perfect, and it was also a good quality, tomato sauce, with just a little bit of a "tang" to it. They were generous with the cheese and the meats, and you could tell that they were using a very good quality meat. It was an excellent pizza. They had a couple of "Arizona gunslinger" hot sauces is on the table. I didn't care for the red sauce, but I loved the green sauce. It's a jalapeño based sauce, but the jalapeño didn't take over the rest of the sauce. It had a complex slightly sweet flavor, and not too much of a "kick". It said "smokin ' hot" on the bottle, but it wasn't all heat. The complex flavor played very well with the heat I liked it so much, I asked if they sold it in their gift shop, and they said no, but there was a shop a couple of doors down that carries it. I wish I would remember the name of the shop. It was your standard gift shop, but they had a huge selection of hot sauces available I got my bottle, and I'm glad I brought it home. I love this stuff. I hear that you can also buy it in grocery stores around Arizona. The price for the pizza was extremely reasonable, for all we got, and as I mentioned, this place has a gift shop, as well as a full bar. This is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner. Thanks.
