    Owner is bat shit crazy , dealing with her was by far the worst experience ever I'd skip this place…read morethe set up was trashy and her coffee was for shit.

    I went on a hike with my friend this morning, we decided to stop by the Changing Woman on our way…read moreback home. What a mistake, ruined our day. The "open" sign was turned on but there was no one around. There was this poor dog chained to a tree, no water in sight.... anyhow, we waited for a few minutes and this jeep comes around with a woman and a guy... The woman got out and was so disappointed when she heard that we just wanted to sit down and have a coffee... She just said "you'll have to take it to go"... Just like that.. in our faces. My friend wanted a smoothie, I just got a frapuccino. She said she doesn't have smoothies because the "business has been slow". Well, no s**t, Sherlock.... what do you expect with that kind of attitude? So, my friend got one of those frozen desserts in a plastic baggie for a quarter. I was trying to do some small talk and said "do you get a lot tourists here", the answer was "how is that your concern?"... I have no idea why I didn't just walk out and left her in there to drink whatever she was making.... I left the 50 cents change on the counter, she goes "I don't need it"... I mean, I was speechless. I live in Chinle and there are not many places where you can just go and hang out... Heck, there are a few fast food and the two restaurants adjacent to three hotels in the area! I wanted to like this place: the name is cool, the reviews were decent, it sounds like it's ran but a woman, I wanted to give my money to a local business... But what a crappy run business, what a woman with a terrible attitude, what a horrible service... Go on your own risk, folks. You want a cool drink and a good atmosphere? This is most definitely not the place.

    Despite the name, I didn't think this hotel restaurant would be an actual cafeteria style…read moreestablishment! I haven't visited a cafeteria in maybe ten years, it's certainly a rare occurrence and a fun diversion for some food! In this case, we went for breakfast since we were staying at the Lodge and opted to share a stack of pancakes. The cafeteria is a bit unique in that there's both a traditional line to pick up prepared food, but there's also a menu that can be ordered from for freshly cooked food. Blue Corn Pancakes, 3 ($10) - These are plate sized pancakes, really fluffy, cooked perfectly moist on the griddle. There's only a really slight blue color and a tiny bit of grittiness from blue corn flour. There's a bit of corn flavor, but it's otherwise resembles a regular pancake more than anything. I'd guess the mix is more wheat flour than blue corn flour. Still, even for regular pancakes, this is pretty good. It comes with three tubes of maple flavored corn syrup and some salted butter on top. We decided to revisit for dinner, mostly for convenience since we were staying at the Lodge. Homemade Mutton Stew w/ Frybread ($15) - This is a pretty simple stew, filled with vegetables, including hand chopped canned tomatoes, carrots, celery, and potatoes. There's some, not a ton, of cubed mutton, which quite tender and is surprisingly not as gamey as the smell would indicate. It's all in a broth that's heavily vegetable forward, followed by a tomato umami, and then finishing with a slight mutton gaminess. It's very simple, hearty fare and similar to most other food in the Navajo Nation, isn't seasoned much, so it could be considered bland. The stew comes with a choice of frybread or tortilla. We went with both, paying an extra $2.85 for the tortilla ala carte. The frybread is fried pretty well, giving a nice crisp edge. It's puffy and chewy on the sides, flatter in the center - there's nothing wrong with the base mix, but unfortunately the amount of fry oil contained in the frybread is terrible. I mean, there was basically an entire puddle of soot-speckled dark-colored old fryer oil right soaking right in the center of the frybread in a pool. Bleh. Tortilla ($2.85) - I believe this is the same base used as the frybread, but then baked instead of fried. It's like a thicker/handmade Mexican flour tortilla. It's thick and chewy, a bit bready, and has a dry char taste. Thunderbird Lodge Cafeteria is a decent spot for food in the area. There honestly aren't many restaurants in general in Chinle; this place serves food that isn't special by any means, but also isn't unpalatable. Just be aware that they follow the more traditional method of Navajo seasoning - basically no salt or spices. Bathrooms - Two larger ones with multiple stalls

    Great food! Try the hamburger! Prices are reasonable…read more I went to gift shop and found the perfect gift for my grandson. Enjoy!

    This looks like a Dennys. It's relatively open and clean. The tables are bussed quickly…read more The servers here are all young. The customers largely appear to be locals, not that there's a ton of touristy options here. Our server was a nice young woman. She was pleasant and did her job well. As to the food, it's Denny's. My wife liked her fried chicken salad, and seemed to like the fries she ordered. I got a BLT that was just ok - not enough bacon or tomato. But the onion rings that came with it were surprisingly good. Given our options here, this was a good choice. I look forward to the better options we will have the next few days of this trip.

    We had to wait several minutes before we were seated. I have knee problems so it felt like 15…read moreminutes. Never greeted when we came through the door nor was our presence acknowledged. it took another chunk of time for someone to take our order. We were probably there half an hour before drinks came. The food quality was poor. The other two in my party got burnt food and even though they brought replacement. The cinnamon pancakes didn't come until after the replacement eggs , sausages and hash browns were eaten. They were basically regular pancakes with 3 stripes of icing. My salmon was dry, I ordered red potatoes and got brown. My salad didn't come until I was almost done. (that's after I asked for it three times) when it came it had the wrong dressing so I had to wait longer and ask for the right dressing twIce. When we asked to speak to the manager she sent other employees to apologize. I never got the dinner rolls. When we brought up how we were over charged and didn't get what were supposed to , she said we were rude because we kept asking for things. I ordered off the senior menu and was charged regular price. The manager would not correct it, she gave a discount but it still didn't correct the over charge. Also no ice. I only gave it one star because this app doesn't give zero as an option. This is the first time I ever left a review.
