The Main Lodge dining room is the only sit down restaurant in the park. We had a great experience dining here. I made dinner reservations by email for the restaurant about a week before we were to arrive. I didn't realize until a few days before our stay that I had goofed and reserved the wrong night. I guess I was lucky, because I had no problem getting confirmed pretty quickly for the correct night. Several hours before our reservation I asked the hostess for a window table with view. She said she would note the request, but couldn't guarantee it. We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation and the hostess said view tables were just opening up. We were seated within 10-15 minutes at a very nice table. Our appetizer was the stuffed cremini mushrooms, which was a bit too tangy and salty for me. We shared the Cowboy Strip Steak, which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portion was big enough to share. We enjoyed the meal. Our server was wonderful. Everyone at the restaurant who we came in contact with were friendly. And the view from our table was spectacular!

This is the grandest canyon I have ever seen, a real jaw droper. Located right beside the north rim is a great lodge, hard to get reservations to stay there, but the restaurant is available. We had the lunch buffet after a rim hike. There was a lot of variety and the food was ok, but at the restaurant window you could throw a rock and get it in the canyon. This dining experience was exceptional because you are in one of America's best ideas, our national parks. Dining here is more of an experience than anything. God Bless America!

We had the dinner here to celebrate the day hike from south rim. The view was spectacular. The duck dish was tasty too.

Bison short ribs are among some exotic dishes mixed with traditional American entrees at the Main Lodge Dining Room.

Best views of any restaurant you'll sit in, overlooking the spectacular Grand Canyon from the north rim. Service? ... First rate. The staff is friendly, engaging and attentive, albeit extremely busy. The food? A little slow at times, but overall, quite good. If there's a downside, this restaurant gets slammed by huge crowds in very short periods of time, leaving its cooking staff shorthanded....hence the possibility of slow timing. But from my experience, this staff will bend over backwards to make things right. I ate here three times during my recent vacation and I would continue to go back time and time again without hesitation. A little patience is all that is required.

5star prices, 1 star quality. Everything was overpriced. I guess when there are no options you can charge what you want.

We visited the Grand Canyon North Rim shortly after it reopened following last year's unfortunate…read morefire. While some trails and amenities are still closed, the hiking experience is incredible. We hiked the Cape Royal Trail, which winds across the Walhalla Plateau with panoramic overlooks and stunning short hikes throughout. The trail leads to the iconic Angel's Window, and the views are so vast and beautiful you can't help but be awestruck at every turn. If you're planning a visit, note that the North Rim is still in recovery mode with some closures, but what is open is absolutely worth the trip. The Cape Royal Trail is a must-do if you make it out here. Download the map BEFORE you get there, you'll likely not have cell service out here.

The North Rim is extremely remote, driving through hills of trees, even after passing the welcome sign to the park. At the last minute you come up to the Canyon. The park was devastated in July 2025 by a massive wild fire for which you can still see the destruction from it along the drive, the visitor's center and the lodge were burnt down as a causality of the fire. There is NO WATER, so plan accordingly. In August 3 weeks prior to our visit they had a massive flashflood which damaged popular trails. From the fires and the flood, we were limited to our trails. I recommend driving your car to Point Imperial, the views are stunning, it is about 8 miles from the main road. At the Y sight prior to Point Imperial we turned onto the 8 mile road to drive to Cape Royal where there are stunning views there with small trails leading to over looks. We did stop at the former Visitors Center and an employee was working limited hours at a booth.

Maybe that's the difference vs many of the lesser reviews. It's the GRAND CANYON. It's unfortunate so many people blast the staff for not being 5 star providers. The staff we've encountered have been exceptional. They respond to anything we need. They are super friendly. Once our room needed towels. So we asked. They provided. Once our room wasn't ready. So we waited. But it's the GRAND CANYON. Not the Four Seasons. Dare I suggest you stop looking at your phone, and you look around at the beauty formed over millions of years. 2023 our reservation was delayed by a month. The water main broke due to the amount of snow the area received and they had to restore the pipes. It's not unfortunate it happened. It's amazing they resolved it in 4-6 weeks! Seriously. If you're booking here to get the best latte at the cafe, or to have the best Chardonnay of your life, or the strongest WiFi you've had, do yourself a favor, drive to the south rim, get a helicopter tour, leave the same day, get a 5 star hotel in Phoenix. Otherwise, look around, enjoy the VIEW. Inhale. Exhale. Relax. Give the staff a break. They're doing their best. Season staff are hard to get in a remote location like this. I will say. After hiking in this year, the pepperoni sausage pizza at the cafe was the best I've had in my life. Maybe partially due from the condition we were in from hiking. But it was GOOD.

Would say the basic cabins are pretty barely held together, particularly the screens. So you will likely be staying with a few spider friends as we did.

You have to want to be here, it's a very, very long car ride in and there is one way in and one way out. The campground is very clean and quiet and the spaces are very large. There is no electric so bring your solar chargers. The campground is closed during the winter months and when we camped there were fire restrictions until the monsoons came so please check ahead. The campground is a short tram ride to the North Rim Lodge which is a must see especially the viewing deck. This is a photographers dream and don't forget the tripod. The storms over the canyon are magnificent and the full moon is stunning! We took the kids to the dinner show review and we had a great time even in the rain. The kids also received their North Rim Jr. Ranger patch and got their national parks passport stamped. We took our traditional day trip to Four Corners and Monument Valley and enjoyed the wild mustangs and herds of deer and buffalo we saw on the way back into camp.

Mule rides are available and reasonably priced.looked at the mules and they are well groomed and in good condition. Did not do it, handicapped and fat but worked with mules in my youth and these were in good shape. Had breakfast in the lodge. The menu was limited as they were out of everything. I had eggs, potatoes and bacon. No complaints and price was under $15. The view was worth that and more. I have mobility issues but the park was very cane friendly, wheelchair maybe not so much but easy access at the overlooks by the road. The angel window trail would be an easy wheelchair ride as long as you don't go out on the point but several good vAntage points. If you need gas the station in the park by the campground is actually the cheapest within 100 miles. Park service regulates the price. My only complaint is there are no large sizes in tshirts. Other than that an excellent experience

It is very silly to write a Yelp review of a place that's nearly impossible to get a reservation…read moreat. But I do compulsively write Yelp reviews of everywhere I eat, so here goes. Location aside, the "hiker's stew" is genuinely an excellent stew. Good quality big chunks of beef and a really savory broth that lets you know just how long it was cooked. Some vegetables (corn) are likely canned, but that was both a minor issue and to be expected given the location. Overall it's genuinely very tasty. Salad was fresh but unremarkable. Cornbread was excellent. Cake was average. I do wish they had ice cream, but I understand the logistical difficulties there...

There's cabins and bunk houses that require a lottery 15 months in advance, which adds to the exclusivity of the experience. Steak dinner is offered by reservations only for $70pp U.S. From 8am- 8pm, there's a cantina open selling all the things you'd want while backpacking, including cold lemonade, beer, wine, snacks, and first aid items. This week, the canyon was bursting with color from all the flowers and vegetation growing after the heavy snow season. This was truly a special experience! The trail to Ribbon Falls/North Rim was closed at one of the bridges and the creek running too high to attempt a safe crossing, so we enjoyed a rest day and cooled off on the banks of the stunning Colorado River. We took pictures of the current ranch as big changes are underway with a new water system getting installed, which will impact access to the ranch for a while. Special mention to the staff, particularly Zach, who went above and beyond to show us hospitality. Also, best of luck to new hire Tyler as he settles into his new role at the ranch! The ranch is currently short-handed, and some of the staff are really feeling the stress, which is starting to show in their interactions with guests. Remember to be patient and kind. The bottom of the Grand Canyon can't be an easy place to live and work.

They recently purchased the lodge and are updating it with charm and vigor. The restaurant was closed for renovation, but our room was clean, comfortable and decorated with appealing furnishings and art.

However, just outside your room is a level path which you can walk to the base of the Vermillion Cliffs . Just across the road is Badger Point, a Colorado River overlook with a dramatic view of the first rapids downstream of the dam.
