    Honey fry bread
    Caroline N.

    A few loved ones were in town visiting me recently and found this restaurant I had never heard of before, saying this place is a MUST-TRY for anyone in the Phoenix area! Upon further investigation, I learned that indeed it is a James Beard award winner and multiple-time Best of Phoenix winner! An additional perk is that they're Tohono O'odham owned and operated since 1992. Despite it being lunchtime on a Friday, the place was packed! We were extremely lucky with both parking in the small, adjacent lot and with finding a table right after we ordered. We tried to get a pretty even spread of what the restaurant had to offer: HOMINY STEW CHUNKS OF BEEF, WITH ONIONS AND CORN -- very comforting soup! not sure what hominy stew entails, but it was very easy to eat even amongst picky eaters HONEY FRY BREAD -- extremely soft fried bread with honey and powdered sugar on top, a lightly sweet doughy dessert WAILA FRY BREAD $17.25 TWO GROUND BEEF PATTIES, ONIONS, CHEESE, LETTUCE, TOMATO, HATCH CHILI -- more smokey/charry than what I'd prefer normally, even as someone who likes charred meats! very interesting they used fry bread even for this burger ULTIMATE TACO $15.75 BEEF, REFRIED BEANS, ONIONS, SOUR CREAM, CHEESE, LETTUCE -- didn't get to try this one but it was huge I've never had Tohono O'odham food before, or even any Native American food, but I was pretty unimpressed with this restaurant. Indeed, the fry bread was remarkably soft, but the cuisine didn't feel that unique or impressive to me overall. Not sure why it's so award-winning and overall popular, but unfortunately this isn't a restaurant I'd be itching to come back to and try more from.

    I hadn't stopped at The Fry Bread House in a very long time. I have been a customer of theirs for years. I even remember the other two locations before the current location. The menu evidently has changed as I was looking forward to a chorizo and beans which they no longer have on their menu. So I went with the Native Taco which still made my tummy feel good. As Summer comes I am pretty sure that most of the orders will be takeout. The place is kept clean but can't accommodate a large crowd. Their service is still impeccable and they do it with a smile. I still miss the chorizo with beans, but customers are important what can I say.

    Wow!! These fry bread tacos are so good. It has been featured in Diner, Drive Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri on Food Network and is also a James Beard Award winner. It's a small place with about 8 4-chair tables inside. My son and I shared the Combo Fry Bread Taco, I couldn't finish one by myself. With shredded beef red chile beans and it did not disappoint. Chile was mild but had a good flavor. Topped with shredded cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Price for Combo was $15.95 paid separate for fountain drinks $3.25 ea came with free refills. After we ordered a fry bread with sugar & cinnamon on top with a side of honey at $10.50 it was so Good! We arrived about 5:45 pm on a Monday and it wasn't busy. By the time we left around 6:30ish the place was full. Business hours are M-Sat 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. I'd recommend you give it a try.

    Closed on holidays, even though you can place DoorDash orders

    I was really excited to try the food here for the first time, but unfortunately I wasn't able to and don't think I'll be back based on my experience. The restaurant was closed for Memorial Day, but their DoorDash was left on, so I didn't know they were closed when I placed and paid for a pickup order. I was surprised to get to the restaurant and see a closed sign when so many other restaurants were open that day. Because DoorDash automatically marks these orders as 'completed,' it turned into a multi-day hassle to get a refund, and I ultimately had to dispute the charge to get my money back. I left my name and number for a Fry Bread House manager to call but they never did. Just a friendly heads-up to management to please turn off the apps on holidays so future customers don't have to fight for refunds (I wasn't the only confused person pulling up to their parking lot), and a note to diners to not order on any holidays.

    This place is so good! I'm not a fan of the location - it's quite a drive to get here. But, the sweet fry breads are the best! Got a powdered sugar fry bread and it was so good, it basically melted in your mouth. It was really busy at the time I came here. There were no open seats and the parking lot was full. I had to park on the street where there was very little parking available. The order was ready in about 5 minutes. I'd definitely recommend this place. The food is so good.

    So good we had to come back again before we flew back home. This time we got Birria Taco, ultimate taco with Birria meat, red beef tamale, pazole & Honey & powdered sugar dessert fry bread. The staff is so friendly and attentive. We wish we could take this place back with us! We will be back on our next adventure to this area! They also have native american vendors selling jewelry and other items out front.

    It was my turn to pick a place to eat. I told the girls, "Let's go. You are in for a treat". I did not know that they had never had fry bread. I could not let them go back east without trying some traditional Native food. They were so excited. I told them I like eating fry bread with honey and jalapenos. Nice little place with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside as it was not too hot. Two of us ordered the traditional Native taco with ground beef. The other ordered a fry bread taco salad. We all ordered a sweet fry bread as well. I think we all got the honey fry bread. I asked for jalapenos, but they did not have picked jalapenos. One of us found a hair in the taco and was worried about taking it back. I told her not to worry, our people will not do anything to your food if you take it back. So, she took it back, and they made her another one. These tacos were so big! I could only eat half (after I had eaten 3 slices of sweet fry bread. . . lol. . .). I ate the other half the next day for lunch, and it was just as good. I will definitely be back.

    Amazing! Great value for the amount of food! Everything had amazing flavor! Easy order and sit down and the team brought out the food. Space is small but outdoor seating helps! Fast casual space for food. Green chili tamale 100/10 My only feedback is for myself that next time I should get a sweet Frybread! Will be back!

    Fry Bread House in Phoenix, Arizona, offers a delightful and unique dining experience with its delicious and innovative Native American cuisine. My manager, who highly recommended this place, was thrilled to introduce it to me. It's a popular spot among locals and even featured on Guy Fieri's TV show, "Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives." The restaurant attracts a steady stream of customers eager to savor its fun and creative Native American dishes. Frye Bread holds a special place in culinary history as the first Native American restaurant in the United States to receive the prestigious James Beard Foundation's "America's Classics" award in 2012. Their signature Fry Bread is incredibly chewy and flavorful. During my visit, I joined my coworkers, manager, and a few friends for lunch. One of the unique features of Frye Bread is its outdoor mini farmers market, where native American vendors sell jewelry, cultural gifts, and all things Native American. It was a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and experience one of the restaurant's beloved dishes. While Frye Bread offers a variety of savory protein options to accompany their Fry Bread, I personally preferred mine simply drizzled with butter and powdered sugar. The combination of flavors was simply irresistible. Frye Bread is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic and flavorful Native American dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to preserving and showcasing Native American culture, combined with its delectable Fry Bread and batter, makes it a memorable dining experience.

    I first had fry bread when spending time in New Mexico during pharmacy school, so I wanted to expose my husband to it on our trip to Phoenix over the winter. Based on our reviewing Fry Bread House seemed to be the place to go! We visited in the late afternoon (between normal meal times) but were surprised that it was still so busy! They don't have much seating inside (it's a tiny spot) but they have ample tables and chairs outside (all of which was packed during our recent visit). We planned on takeout, which was good since I don't think we would have found a spot to eat! There was ample room to wait while our order was being prepared, which didn't take too long especially considering how busy it was. We had fun looking at all the decor around the room while we waited - and we learned the Guy Fieri visited on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Fun and eclectic decor that was on-theme all around. The main dish seemed to be the fry bread taco, so that's where we focused our eyes. I was pleased to see so many options! My husband opted for the ultimate taco, which featured beef (he chose the mix of red and green chili beef) and refried beans alongside onions and lettuce. I went for the the vegetarian taco, which substituted the beef for green chili strips. Even with transporting our meal back to our hotel, it really didn't lose much integrity. The fry bread was as I remember - substantial yet not super heavy and with a nice crisp. The taco take was different from how I originally enjoyed it, but I thought the pairings worked just right. The various flavors blended together to make it certainly the most unique taco I've had! The tacos were decently sized, leaving us full but not overly stuffed, afterwards. At the price point ($11-15 / taco), it was a good value. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Fry Bread House, and I'm glad I got to revisit this delicious treat and also expose my husband to it!

    Outside seating in the shade with our pup under the table. One native and one red chile beef taco for lunch. Only had to drive 750 miles for lunch. Totally worth it! Fry bread was warm and soft with mild red chile beef plus lettuce and tomato. Seriously one of the best taste sensations on this giant blue ball we live on. Don't get to Phoenix too often but Fry Bread House is and always will be a must visit. If it wasn't so solar flare hot here we might visit more often. Order online or at the counter, dine inside or out. Inside is a mosh pit of servers, dine in and take away folks, dashers, bicycles (really go see for yourself) and wall art. T-shirts too. Got one this visit. Show your colors old man, yeah. Small parking lot and street parking. Shady seating for you and your pup. Enjoy!

    I was in Fountain Hills for a work event and the food scene was pretty uninspiring. I knew I needed at least one good meal before heading home. I did some research and found Fry Bread House on the way to the airport, a James Beard award winning restaurant, and it did not disappoint. I got the Birria taco with the dipping sauce and it was amazing. The meat was tender with a generous amount, topped with cheese and onions. The sauce was the star. I could only eat half and took the rest with me. It didn't travel as well but it still tasted good. If you are in the Phoenix area, make a stop here. They also have parking in the back which makes it easy.

    We liked the green chili ultimate taco. The fry bread was really good warm and chewy. Never had anything like it before. It's a huge portion so I would just order 1 taco per adult person. You order at the counter and they bring food to your table. Service is very friendly. Indoor seating is limited but they have outdoor seating. Overall a good place to swing by for lunch or visiting Arizona.

    The Fry Bread House Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - The Fry Bread House

    Do they deliver or are there delivery options?

    Yes, you can use uber eats and other delivery options but the fry bread tastes the best as fresh as possible. It gets more dense the longer it sits

    Does The Fry Bread House have outdoor seating?

    Yes. 2 picnic tables

    Will The Fry Bread House reopen and if yes any dates?

    It's open now.

    Is indoor dining an option as of July 2021? Tried calling but the number seems not in operation?

    Yes. People were dining indoors

    What are the real hours? I've been trying to check this place out since hearing about it? Everytime I've attempted to go during your listed hours it's you're closed?

    Do you have indoor dining?

    Yes they have seating indoors and outdoors

    Are the beans (refried) cooked in lard too? Sounds like nothing vegetarian :-( or made more healthy? Thanks Sandra! Will come to try with friends!

    Our Beans are vegetarian. Our Fry Bread is vegetarian. Fry Bread is unhealthy if you eat it… 

    Any vegetarian entrees?

    I’m sorry, but I don’t know why folks say that our Frybread is cooked in lard. It is not. Our Fry Bread and our beans are vegetarian.

I was happy about the little purse hooks on the table (iykyk). The outside area, not so much. It's on the corner of a strip mall, there was some etched graffiti on the outside windows, which made you aware of the area you were in. (That's the reason for the 1 star deduction.) The place is very small! So yes, you WILL want to make a reservation. We went around 3:30 on a Friday and I would say 3/4 of the tables had reserved signs on them starting at 5pm on up. The receptionist was constantly back and forth looking at them and moving them around to make space for walk-ins. I would skip bringing your kids here. I didn't use the restroom so idk if that was nice or not. The food was fantastic! And the portions were big. The price matched the portions and quality in our opinion. It's hard to find quality food that's worth the cost lately. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. And hubby ordered a Mexican coke, and the server brought him a frosty glass for it. Everyone around us looked like they were enjoying their food. Our server was great. He chatted with us for a while when we told him about seeing the place on IG. He was grateful for the customers. But admitted, it's caused an influx of people and the 'regulars' have become annoyed. Which is understandable. We'd definitely come back if we're in the area but probably not drive that far out of our way again.

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.

    I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!…read more The ambience here is charming. It's located in what looks like an old house, painted on the outside in a dark red paint. There are roses hanging from the ceiling, exposed brick, and colored lighting (would you notice more as the sun goes down). The wood ceilings really make this place special. There is a small bar in the corner. Don't forget to look up because there is a little door above with the guardian angel and children painted on it, and a couple of stained glass windows. From the minute we walked in, we were meeting with smiling faces. When you first walk in, you are inside the kitchen or at least right next to it. We started with a couple of drinks - a Corona and a Diablito, a sotol cocktail with lots of pureed mango. A basket of chips and a bowl of Green dip or brought to the table, and we were directed to the salsa bar back near the entrance. The salsa bar is fantastic, with several different kinds of salsa. We grabbed what tasted like a creamy tomatillo salsa, a pineapple salsa, a pico de gallo, and a creamy Serrano salsa. They were all so good that we couldn't say which was our favorite. I know that pineapple salsa just sent me over the moon! For an entree, hubby ordered a Sonoran burrito. He said the burrito was delicious, and kept pointing out how good the guacamole and side was. It wasn't especially big or small. I ordered the fajitas (steak and chicken combo) and the minute they came to the table sizzling, both my husband and I were surprised at how large this portion was. It was served with tortillas (you get your choice of corn or flour), black beans, and rice. The black beans were good - - I suppose they just tasted like black beans. I was surprised at how delicious the rice was because it's white and I expected it just to taste like white rice. But there was a creaminess to it and a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on but that I know was really yummy (butter, maybe? Cheese, maybe?? Idk). Good meat in my fajitas was super tender and the veggies were grilled just right. This was a really common really delicious meal. This place had been on my list for a long time and now that I finally been here, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The food was fantastic, the prices super reasonable, and it's set in a cozy, romantic setting. This place is going to be on a regular rotation for us!

I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings.

My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question.

Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

Insert the most fire drinks we've scene in a while and they all can be made NonAlcoholic! Needless to say we had no clue what we were getting ourselves into and we were glad cus the prices were high but the drinks were large and delicious! All of my three daughters and my wife felt so cool with their drinks and loved every sip. Our friends said their food was good and one of which got the coolest pineapple drinks we'd ever scene! Along with amazing chips and salsa we are very excited to come back and get some food as this is a stellar top notch seafood place with amazing drinks people and an all around experience
