Hands down the most memorable fry bread I've ever had in my life. Growing up in New Mexico, we usually frequent the NM State Fair in the fall for our fry bread fix or attend the Pueblo feast days. I had heard good things about The Fry Bread House and during my latest trip to Phoenix I made sure to visit. I ordered the Combo Taco with extra red chile on the side. The fry bread itself was perfect. It had a nice crunchy texture on the outside, but was nice and fluffy on the inside. The red chile beef reminded me a lot of the traditional New Mexican red chile my family makes. Service was excellent. I went during the lunch rush and it took no more than 10 minutes to wait in line, order, and receive my food. The restaurant was nice and clean too. Definitely recommend visiting. This will be a must stop for me every time I go to Phoenix. read more

Seating inside (a/c) and outside. Order at the counter & seat yourself with your tabletop number. Arrived around 1p. Does not accept $50+ bills. A line already formed at the register and most of the inside tables occupied, with people outside too. The line never ended. I regret not ordering a plain fry bread. Birria taco was good. read more

I went here today for lunch and it was just wonderful! The food is delicious. I had to posole with an Indian taco and I would order it again. You order at the counter here and then they deliver it to your table. Although it was the noon hour, we ordered and then it was delivered to our table in about one minute. Very fast! The ambience is fine. This is a very small restaurant and I bet when the weather isn't so hot it would be nice to sit out on the patio. There was a lady out there selling jewelry, but I didn't look because it is so hot today! The parking lot is fairly small so you may have to park on the street. That's fine, but much of the street is for resident parking only so I'm not sure what to suggest if the lot is full, but don't let that keep you from coming to this wonderful little restaurant! I recommend it without hesitation. read more

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. read more

A small hole in the wall kind of a place, during peak hours the line is quite long but it moves fairly fast. There are only a handful of small tables inside, and several big tables outside in the sun. The menu is simple with everything fry bread accompanied by different styles beef and then there is dessert fry bread. The fry bread is light and fluffy, even better than the ones I've got on the reservation. In short they certainly serve up delicious food here. read more

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. read more

Was passing thru Phoenix when a friend of mine recommended I try the Fry Bread House. I never had fry bread and I was looking forward to a ground beef fry bread taco. It was there special. It was decent but did hit the spot. I also had some posole and it wasnt as spicy as the cashier said but it does have a kick. The soup was solid and robust, I just wish the serving was a little larger. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This establishment is a James Beard award winning Native American owned establishment that's known for their Fry Bread Tacos and other dishes. It's a family-owned business and well-known among the locals. I have been here once and had a good experience. It's a counter service ordering type place. The menu was on the wall. The restaurant atmosphere was inviting. The decor of the restaurant was nice as well. I ordered a Green chili beef fry bread taco and a kids beans & cheese fry bread taco. The restaurant was busy as we were there at peak lunch hour on a Friday. The service was good. I really enjoyed my Green chili beef fry bread taco. It was flavorful, spicy, and delicious. The meat was cooked and seasoned well. The house-made fry bread was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This establishment is definitely worth checking out. read more

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. read more

Place is small and outdated but was clean. We went there around lunchtime in a Wednesday so it was very busy. We waited about six minutes for our food to be ready and we got lucky that a minute before a table cleared out. I ordered the red chile bowl and my mom got the beans and green chile taco. Both were delicious. We are so looking forward to go there again. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Okay, I've been rummaging through the James Beard lists and such for the area, and I stumbled upon this gem that received a James Beard a while ago. It's a small little joint. I took a friend here, and we both got the ultimate fry bread taco! They offer it with ground beef, or red/green chili beef. The green chili was the spicier option, so we went with that. Shoutout to the lady at the register for taking the time to walk us through the menu so we could decide what we wanted. The fry bread is similar in concept to a pita combined with a funnel cake, I suppose. It's actually quite reminiscent of the Vietnamese Bánh Tiêu, if you've had that before. Texturally, its soft, tender, and cuts fairly easily. Couple that with the toppings of beans, cheese, onions, sour cream, and the beef, and you're in business. It really is like a massive taco, served open face, and you can eat it with your hands, with a fork and knife, or any combination of the two! It's fun! As an intro to the Native American cuisine of this side of America, it's a great beginning. It makes me wonder what other things I've been missing. Okay, it's gonna sound reductive, but the taco is pretty much a ginormous chalupa. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. We also ordered a dessert variant, with butter and chocolate sauce, and, as you can imagine, smothering anything with butter and chocolate sauce will make it taste great! read more

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. read more

It has been years since I have been here and it was super busy. My co-workers and I placed our order online (paid in full) and they still did not make our order until we arrived. What's the point in ordering in advance? I was looking forward to having the vegetarian taco but instead of having fry bread, it was a very Dry Bread! Super disappointed- they clearly do not need our business because they threw this slop together. All I ever want is what I paid for and nothing more. This dry bread was disappointing read more

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. read more

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. read more

Showed up on a Thursday evening and both inside and outside were packed and i understand why. We tried literally everything and it was all delicious. Taco with green chile, taco with red chile, taco with just beans and cheese, their version of a quesadilla (which was SO good) and it was all delicious!! Their salsa was also great, to the point that I wish they served chips. Had to even get the frybread plain because it is just so damn good. There is a reason they are busy and stayed busy. Do yourself a favor and go support a local business that serves delicious food. read more

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! read more

I stopped by yesterday with my mom to get some fry bread, we have been coming to this location for such a LONG time! They never disappoint. They are always busy as well. Inside is not so spacious as a heads up and you may need to just get the food togo unless you go early! The service is good and quick! The staff were friendly. They have some many different options to choose from, they have savory fry-bread and sweet! I got the ultimate taco which is my favorite go too! My mom got the same. We loved it. Always comes out delicious! Then for sweets I tried their chocolate and butter one for the first time and wow! So yummy!! The chocolate is so good!!!

Honestly, every time we come home to Arizona, this is our first stop off the plane! It brings that true Southwest spice, with green chilis just like the ones I grew up roasting. Every tribe makes their bread differently, and while it's not my mom's, this comes so close. They never miss -- the consistency and flavor are always on point. James Beard Award-winning? The judges should consider themselves lucky to experience it! read more

The Fry Bread House - Combo Chili Beef Taco - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My friend and I stopped by the Fry bread house after a visit to Curious Nature and seeing the sign on the street that says they are a James Beard Award winner (in 2012- I looked it up). The place was packed when we arrived which was a good sign. It is counter service so we placed our order. I am a vegetarian so I ordered the Vegetarian Taco which comes with refried beans, green chili, onions, sour cream, cheese and lettuce in a fry bread. My friend got the beef taco. We also ordered the sweet fry bread with honey and powdered sugar. There is no beer or wine here -- so I ordered an ice tea. The inside was full so we grabbed a picnic table outside. The food came out very quickly and we started digging in. Mine was really good but waaaaaaay too much sour cream (next time I would order on the side or just a little) because it made the fry bread a little soggy, especially by the end. But overall it was very good and I finished the whole thing (which is really quite large) -- but $14.00!!! Seems a bit pricey to me for just a taco -- also the beef taco is only $13 -- so wasn't sure why the meat taco was less (unless they were going by the number of ingredients but meat is surely more expensive than beans?) The sweet fry bread was good but a bit chewy and also not nearly enough honey -- I was actually even wondering if they put honey on it cause I couldn't see or taste it. Overall I was happy with my meal but I did think it was too expensive, and I wish they had at least beer and wine! read more

A very unassuming location, this James Beard-awarded restaurant provides a homely experience. After ordering at the front, I was so surprised by the efficiency of their service. I would have guessed I waited less than 5 minutes for my food on a busy Saturday evening. I ordered the beef taco with my choice of meat being green chili. it was a very large meal that you could potentially split in two. If you choose the green chili option, be warned it has a little kick to it. I would equate its potency to a 2 out of 10 on a Thai spice scale (I apologize, that's the only scale I know of). You can choose other options as well. Regardless, you'll be greeted with a juicy meat soaked in a rich sauce. The fry bread itself has the consistency of naan: a little crunchy on the outside but very soft on the inside. The whole dish was excellent, and for a good price, too. I would go out of my way to dine here again. Spent ~$15 read more

I developed a taste for fry bread during my time at Pine Ridge, so when I heard of a restaurant that specializes in fry bread, and it won a James Beard award, I made a bee line to The Fry Bread House. This place is legit - owned and operated by Tohono O'odham Nation - you order at the counter and they bring out the food to your table. I got the Vegetarian Taco - a HUGE fry bread (the size of a small pizza) filled with refried beans, green chili strips, onions, sour cream, shredded cheese, and lettuce. Yummy! Each bite had a good chunk of chewy and crispy fry bread mixed with the cool lettuce and warm beans, a perfect mix of textures and flavors. When I opened up the wrapping, I thought I'll never finish it because it was so big. But I took bite after delicious bite, and before long, it was gone. We also got a grilled sweet corn from the daily specials menu - probably the sweetest, most delicious corn I've ever had. Finally, I had just enough room to share a honey fry bread - hot fry bread drizzled with honey - for dessert. The first bites are a little chewy, but after the fry bread cools, it becomes crispy so you get all the textures. No frills here, just excellent food. I'm not surprised that both James Beard and Guy Fieri both gave thumbs up to The Fry Bread House! It's awesome! If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out. What are you waiting for? Give it a try! Next time I'm in Phoenix, this is the first place I'll visit! read more

The Fry Bread House is an unassuming restaurant in Central Phoenix that surged in popularity after receiving its well deserved James Beard award and appearing on the Food Networks Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. They serve a few different tacos in their delicious, fluffy Fry bread. If you're a saucy girl like me, I recommend ordering one with either the green or red "chili" in your taco. I ordered the Ultimate Taco with red chicken chili with salsa verde on the side. It was large and delicious. I got about halfway through before the warm chicken slathered in a rich red sauce broke through the bottom of the Fry bread. I finished up the rest with fork and knife. The restaurant offers both inside and outside seating. Food is ordered at the counter by a friendly member of the staff who will guide you through the menu if you need help. They do one thing and they do it very, very well. Well worth a visit if you're in Phoenix. read more

The food was delivered promptly. The food needed salt, but was otherwise delicious. The side red and green salsas provided were flavorful and provided the right amount of heat. Despite the poor ordering process we enjoyed our visit (based on the food alone). We will likely return. read more
