Dining room
Joy K.

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.

Five stars for Supai Cafe and honestly, that still feels like underselling it. You're out in the…read moremiddle of nowhere, deep in the guts of the Grand Canyon, where just getting there feels like you cheated death a little. There's no chains, no shortcuts just this small pocket of life, and somehow, a café serving burgers and tots if you're lucky, early, and patient enough to catch it right. It's not about how long it takes it's whether they're open, whether you beat the line, whether today's your day. After a long day in the canyon hiking, swimming, just soaking it all in coming back and getting something hot feels like striking gold. It's more than a meal; it's a brief return to civilization in a place that owes you nothing. The people are kind, the place is clean, and the fact that it exists at all, out there, is something special. In a place where you're completely out of your element, Supai Cafe isn't just convenient it's priceless.

I was here for breakfast one day and lunch for another. The first day they just don't have regular…read moretimings, the fry-breads were not available and the kitchen was closed but they were serving just drinks. While heading out of the camp, I ordered hashbrowns, coffee, juice, sausages, sandwiches, breads, etc. I would recommend going to this place to use the bathrooms since this would be your last cleaning bathroom while heading out or in! they also have good wifi and lot of spaces to relax and charge your phone. You get good drinking water as well. The view out of the cafe is serene on one side and the other reminds of our past - a simple village with important amenities. I wish the vegetarian stuff were made separately without the incursion with meats because the hasbrowns smelled weird like they were cooked alongside the meats.

I was staying overnight on a vacation roadtrip and came in on May 30th at 615 am after finding this…read moreplace on Yelp. The waitress Maria L. sat me at a table. I asked for coffee and she handed me a menu and she asked if I knew what I wanted to eat. I said I needed some time to look at the menu and she frowned and walked away without saying a word. It was obvious she thought I was going to be there a while and didn't want me sitting at the table long. She returned with the coffee and said "You know if it gets busy...." leaving the sentence hanging. I replied I would leave if it did (the restaurant only had maybe 3 tables full at that point, by the time I left at 640 there were two tables empty). After eating the food, which was quite good, I promptly packed up and left as soon as I could 25 minutes after being seated. I walked down to Brewed Awakenings, got a coffee there and sat down at my computer to do some work. In a small restaurant I totally understand that you need to keep tables moving so there is not a wait, but there is a polite and subtle way to message to a patron that they need to move along so other folks can sit down. You can deliver the check early, ask if you are finished, ask if there is anything else you need. Ways to communicate to a patron that they need the table. This was certainly not it. I eat out often, I tip very well, but I have to say this is the first time I felt unwelcome and rushed at a place in a very, very long time. While the food was good, this was not the way to start off day 2 of my roadtrip. In today's economy, making your customers feel like they need to eat and run, and doing so in a rude way, is a master class in how to make your restaurant fail. I do not recommend this place.

The inside was moist but not fluffy. We have 2 award winning bakeries in our city, one was named USA best croissant a few years ago, so our expectations are high. The next day, we called 1.5 hrs before pick-up and ordered a chicken sandwich and ham and cheese on baguette. We added a chocolate croissant and plain (traditional) croissant too. Upon arrival, our order was all placed in a nice box. We should have just asked for the items to be bundled into a bag as we were going on a hike. Staff was friendly. The ham + cheese baguette was one of the best I've eaten in a long time, reminded me of the ones served in Paris but this one had a delicious spread in it that made me want more when I finished. The bread was nice and soft and the flavors melded nicely. Hubby really enjoyed his chicken salad croissant with cranberries, pecan and apples. In the early evening we shared the chocolate croissant which I thought was better than the traditional one. The chocolate one was tasty and a decent amount of chocolate. I'm used to our home bakeries using Ghirardelli, Valrhona and Guittard chocolates, so the flavor was different with this croissant. I thought the plain croissant was not as buttery as ones I buy at home but it was still good. There is so many items that I could go daily and not be able to try it all.

It was an experience for sure! Just not the best. The menu on the website lists a number of steak options. None of these were on the menu we were presented. When we asked about the lack of steak we were told that the restaurant no longer has a head cook who can handle steak. The place is divey with a fly issue. The food was Denny style so and passable at best. . Our bill was almost $50 with tip for pulled pork sandwich which was on the chunky side and not shredded. I had the patty melt with sweet potato fries. Ok can't mess that up. Once served the cook in the back had a huge coughing fit which was turning my stomach, Boxed up my leftovers which is undetermined whether I will eat. Got the heck out of dodge. I'm sure at one point this place was popular. I would love to see them return to their glory days, but perhaps not anytime soon. Sad! I might add we drove from Page, AZ so almost an hour drive. Very hungry and not many choices we chose to give it a shot.
