Ok, this place gets a 5 star because of how great the employees were and how amazing the customer…read moreservice was. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by a guy behind the counter. I arrived at like 3 pm and the store was not super busy just a handful of customers here and there. I was just looking around and the guy who greeted me started making conversation with me, asking me where I was visiting from, what brought me to Arizona and if there was something specific I was looking for. I told him I was from DFW and he said 'Well Ana from Texas welcome to Arizona I hope you enjoy your visit and never forget your adventure to the west" (that's what I called my trip out here). Everything in the store was handmade and every time I picked up something or ponder on it he would reply 'that was hand beaded and took 10 hours by one of our local tribe members' or 'those are dolls that represent the spirits that native Americans call ..." so there was always a description of every object I came across. It almost felt like I was in a yelp review LIVE! because he described everything to me with such detail haha. I almost felt kinda guilty not buying anything but I honestly did not see myself wearing/using any of the items there, they were too beautiful/fragile for my chaotic/uncertain lifestyle haha, give me a keychain that says my name and I am good with that. Over time more people would arrive and he would greet them the same way he did to me, "hi guys what are your names? What part of the country are you visiting from? well *insert name* welcome to Arizona ..". I really liked that about the employee. If you are in the area and are looking for authentic, handmade, one of a kind gifts this is the place for you.

I had a most wonderful experience with Elsie YELLOWHORSE at her shop. I brought my 925 silver chain…read morein and asked if she could help me find a pendant. She helped me find the perfect fit. And she sold it to me for half the asking price. Elsie is so sweet she helped me get the necklace on and off. She made me feel like my life mattered. The shop was filled with authentic Navajo jewelry and artifacts. I also picked up some real bear claws for my children. I will be back to pick up the mate to my pendant. I highly recommend that you stop by her place first. The shop is off exit 359.

I then get yelled at by the woman behind the counter saying "no photos!" I never saw any signs saying no photos and in my mind couldn't photos and posting only help their business? Either way after spending the high prices for their merchandise and then being treated like crap over taking a photo I won't be stopping by again.

Interestingly, the jewelry they have is fairly nice, but pricey. I got a few things here because they did really appeal to me, but I thought they cost too much.

Buyer Beware: This…read moreplace has some nice stuff but a store clerk misled me in buying a damaged, print in a Hobby Lobby frame three days ago. He told me all items were 20% off until Dec 2025. He referred to the print as a painting so I did not know the quality until it was unwrapped. The print was wrapped in double saran wrap so it was difficult to see. It was showcased in a glass cabinet. He never told me it was on clearance. There was no sign indicating this either. The original price was $140.00 and with the discount it was $112 with tax and $3.00 for using the credit card. The item was worth half of this. When I called the store, someone told me that in some cases a full refund could be done. I tried to get a full refund two days later with the piece, the price tag and receipt but it was denied. They store keepers thoroughly examined the item and called two supervisors. Because it was on clearance, no refund was granted. I think they run a ruthless business. I had to use the store credit. I will never visit this shop again.

Plenty to unpack, but I'll keep it to what actually matters for the next traveler pulling off the highway. First: the fry bread. Second: the fry bread. Condensed menu, just the basics, no unnecessary hype, no fake variations, no upsell. They know what they do and they do it right. Third: the gift shop. This one surprised me. Solid range of price points, collector-grade jewelry sitting right next to casual pieces and everyday gifts. Sundries, the usual gift shop fare, but also a few original items I didn't see anywhere else on the route. Dropped some good cash and walked out like a bandit. Fourth: the staff. The two ladies working were some of the friendliest, most engaging people we met the whole trip. Made it easy to keep browsing, and kept the wallet open longer than planned. Must-visit if you're moving between Gallup and Winslow. Don't blow past it.
