I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone, and given the reviews of other establishments on the strip, this location seems equally poor. The service was sub par and the food less than mediocre - even for the customers with low expectations. I'd be willing to try another dish, but maybe as carry out. read more

WORST place EVER!!! We will never go back! You think "oh a steakhouse! Great! And it's so close to the Grand Canyon" NO!!! It's a trap!!! Steak was just ok. Chicken was only ok with sauce. Beans (come w everything) have NO flavor either. Waiter was rude. Had to chase him down. He kicked my child's high chair so hard it moved 2 feet! (Thankfully I had JUST taken her out!) too many tables. Feels like you're sitting in the next tables lap. Table next to us even commented about him being rude. No room to walk to the restroom. If you were able to make your way to the restroom it was dirty. No changing station, trash all over the floor. Took 10+ min to flag our waiter down just to get drinks. Then they added a freakin tip to the bill without telling us! No signs posted. No warning! Had to argue to have the tip taken off. He did not do his job to get that tip! I don't expect much. Just refill my drinks and bring my food. Wish I checked here BEFORE we ate there :( read more

Yippee-ei-o! - They tried to make us give a tip! For a horrible waiter & plain food. I cook better then this! - Steakhouses Near Me - Tusayan, Arizona

See all

HORRIBLE FOOD & SERVICE! don't go we had streak and ribs .. ribs tasted like really bad hot dogs and the streaks were unseasoned the only thing that tasted well from this was the salad that looked like it came from the bag on top of that they charged 15% gratuity it was only the two of us on a sat around 2pm please avoid I'm pretty sure you can find a place better to spend 75$ if I could I would give them negative stars read more

Reposting my 2013 review. Hopefully there's cel reception in that area now,so people can check review before they fall for the trap. ----- Visited the Grand Canyon and we were really hungry so we thought we would stop for lunch somewhere. We saw this (so called) steakhouse and there were a number of cars in front so we thought at least that's a good sign. I didn't have 3G so I couldn't check for reviews before we went in..I'm not doing that again. Once inside I noticed everyone was quiet. While waiting for our food I noticed somber and unhappy diners.. we were about to find out why. We ordered filet mignons, chicken bbq, hamburger. Probably 80% of the food was left untouched at the end. the steak was not cooked right, it was bland, tough and so dry it hurt to swallow! The beans were watered down and flavorless. The potato was gray in the middle, biscuit was like cardboard, the corn was also flavorless. my husband had one bite of the chicken and that was enough for him, he wanted to walk out about a minute after they brought out our food. Absolutely do not recommend. read more

Umm. No. Don't go here. While my husband really liked his ribs, he wouldn't touch the "cowboy beans" which were watery and just eww. I had a steak that was dry and flavorless. I'm a bad cook and I can make a steak better than the piece of garbage they tried to feed me. I don't salt my food, but I had to salt that steak. I only ate half. The cornbread and biscuits were good, but it's hard to mess those up. Of course, it's hard to mess up a steak too. . . My niece had fried shrimp which she did not like. She said they were greasy and just didn't taste good. The corn on the cob was overcooked and tasted like mush. The service was poor, too. We had to ask for everything, including the check. We paid over $100 for three of us to eat. It was a HUGE waste of money! read more

DONT DO IT! We came here after a 9 mile hike and ended up with the worst food poisoning experience! We just wanted a nice sit down meal and instead ended up on the bathroom floor all night. read more

I think this is the issue -- If you are enjoy fine dining experiences in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or other major cities, then, of course this steakhouse is going to fall far beyond your expectations. This is a "cowboy steakhouse" in a very small community in Arizona. It isn't fine dining, but it is a satisfying meal -- Perhaps, like a steak dinner when you visit friends for a BBQ. The fried rattlesnake was very chewy and the "hot" sauce was a very mild salsa verde type sauce -- Skip the novelty. It doesn't work. The salad, as others indicate, was a pedestrian iceberg lettuce salad with Ranch Dressing. Oddly, the wait staff seemed almost apologetic that Ranch was the only option. When served, separate bottles of oil and vinegar were included. I had the cowboy steak requested medium rare. It was an ordinary steak, cooked well, but I don't think it rested long enough because it bleed out. As others have reported, seasoning is lacking. The meat needs to be salted, and after salting, it is still a candidate for steak sauce. The baked potato was served wrapped in aluminum foil with a side of sour cream in a plastic container. It was a baked potato -- What can I say? The beans were a little watery, but they had a good texture. They weren't cooked to mush, but they were under-seasoned. I gave them a shot of red wine vinegar (from the oil and vinegar served with the salad) and some black pepper. They were ok... The corn on the cob was tasty, but the texture was mushy. The biscuits may have been cowboy biscuits, but they were unappealing. read more

The food and service was great!!!! Here's there catch....... They bill you for the food.... A total amount.......no itemizing.... so they sneak a 15 to 18% tip included and do not tell you about it..... I caught them when I started to add up the bill........ thinking is was way to high...... So I ask my waiter if he had put the tip on the total amount.... He did say yes...... Otherwise I wouldnt have known. He would have received a tip of 35%....... So BEWARE of this. How many other people have a screwed on this one...... I'm rating food and service above.... read more

yippe-ei-NO!!! This was awful. My sirloin had no flavor - at all. I used A-1 for the first time in over 10 years to give it some flavor. My wife's filet mignon was dangerously undercooked. My baked beans were undercooked, and I had to have the side replaced because the first time they came out, it was more like a bowl of soup than a bowl of beans (lots of broth - supposed to be the sause - and few beans). The corn on the cob was obviously from frozen stock - it was shrivelled and tasted old. On a positove note, the baked potato was good. The service was aloof. Our waiter didn't seem to be able to hear well, and we don't whisper, and it wasn't too loud. And, he just didn't seem to get the job. There were these "bus-boys" who kept walking around with full armloads of plates, looking for more plates, until we were certain they were going to drop everything in someone's lap. It was entertaining, but worrisome when they came our way, and very distracting. Finally, it was quite expensive. Save your money. Go somewhere else. read more

On vacation 3 adults and 5 kids stopped here for lunch. (4 of the kids were teenagers). - filthy bathrooms. - I asked for a plate because my husband and I were sharing ribs. I had to ask a couple of times and when I finally got one the guy handed it to me (didn't set it down and I had food in my hands) it was clearly dirty. He said "oh, it's dirty? That's just juice from corn on the cob, do you want me to wipe it for you?" At which point he grabbed a napkin off of the table, wiped it and handed it back. I said no, I would like an actual clean plate (he looked confused), so I just grabbed a small bread plate. He then said "oh, you have one". Note - they were nearly empty, there is no way they ran out of plates, or had any remote excuse for handing me a used plate. -food bland at best. Most boring salad ever served with ranch dressing pre-dumped on it in a big bowl to share. Biscuits were like paste, Corn very over-cooked. Potatoes were sad, potato skins were half-potatoes with cheese. Meat was edible but not anything good. 15% tip whether or not you want to tip that much. Flies. Over-priced for the quality. No, I would not go there again or recommend it. Yuk. At least no one got sick. read more

Stay away from this place! I ordered a burger rare, and the waiter brought a very well done one. When I complained about it, he told me it was impossible to cook it rare. I then asked why he did not tell me before, and he rolled his eyes, and left. He came back with a raw burger on a plate and told me that this meat had to cook well done. I repeated that he should have told me before. He came back with his superviser who told me the same thing... And I replied the same thing... She took the plate away and told me that they would not cook another one for me. They basically left me there with no food, watching my friend eating her borring veggie burger. Please do not do the same mistake! read more

We had been at this restaurant because it looks quite nice from the outside compared to the other restaurants in Tusayan. Unfortunately we did'nt check the feedbacks on yelp before.... many meals could'nt be ordered anymore ( there was a rush for lunch.... ) so we had a steak with a backed potatoe and with awful beans and an overcooked corncob. The only tasty thing was a fresh salad as a starter that was included. The waiter was a mexican "cowboy" who pretended to be funny but it was just ridiculous.... also the prices were not very low, so we had to summarize that it was a very sad experience for a dinner. As we could'nt find another place that attractey us for the next evening, we decided to go to Mc Donalds.... there you at least know what you can expect.... read more

This to me was a rip-off. Half of my family was disatisfied with their meal and there is a required 15% gratuity. My dad got the tortilla salad and said the tomatillo dressing was "vile". I got a combo meal, my steak was tough and the corn on the cob was cooked way too long (mushy). My mom had filet mignon, which she said was "okay" but her supposed 8 oz. Filet was more like 4 oz. and she also refined to eat the mushy corn on the cob. My brother got a burger, he said he liked it and the fries. So one person out of four was pleased with this restaurant. My main complaint was the required 15% gratuity. Oh and our waiter hovered for us to pay our check right away. read more

Bad service and bad food at a price. Don't do it. Just don't. Go to the Mexican place across the street or the pizza and pasta place near the round about. Anywhere but here. read more

Oh man oh man. I wish I had read the reviews and stayed away. The good: The beans that come with the dinners were actually quite tasty. OK, that's it. The bad: The "salad" is a bunch of iceburg, one of two dressings, and a couple onions (I had asked for no tomato, so I don't know if they would have come with them). My wife's BBQ chicken was dry and not very good IMO. The biscuits were clearly industrial premades. The corn on the cob went to the kid, so I don't know. I love steak. I thought this being a "steakhouse", that they might have good steak. So, I dropped 25$ for an 8 oz filet. I'm a firm believer the only use for A-1 is to make boot leather or ultra cheap steaks taste like A-1. It has NO place near good meat. So, I can't believe it, but the filet was so bland and tasteless that I put A-1 on it. On a 25$ steak. You couldn't pay me to go back. read more

Overpriced!! Corn tasted frozen, beans tasted canned, baked potato hard and chicken was bland. Spent $100 for a family of four. Save your money and order a pizza!! read more

Food was OK. Quantity over quality for sure. Good enough family atmosphere with an infant. Not great for strollers.

V good - Large portions, prompt service and great food. Ribs were meaty, tender and v flavorful. Dinners incl salad, delicious baked beans, slaw, ear of corn and roll. The chicken shish kabob was v good too. read more

My family and I had a really good meal here. The waitress was attentive and our drinks were never empty. I had a really good T-bone that was cooked perfectly. My wife and daughter thought the shrimp were large and tasty. Dinner included a number of sides that left us more than full. Hamburgers were cooked perfectly and they provided more than enough onion rings in their appetizer. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Terrible. Overpriced. Food is not good either. I normally write detailed reviews, but this place isn't worth the time. Go somewhere else.

I agree with the yelper below that anything tastes good after spending the whole day walking around the Grand Canyon, especially if you've been eating lunchables and monkey chips aka plantain crisps the whole time. And there's not really that many food places to pick from anyways. The three of us all got the same thing, one of their steaks which came with a baked potato, corn on the cobb, salad, biscuit, and some spicy beans. It was WAY too much food for me. I took most of it to-go. My friends were the type that like their steaks to be bleeding and they asked for them rare but theirs looked exactly like mine which was medium-rare so they were a little bummed. Oh and we got the rattle snake as an appetizer and I thought it was horrible. I've never had it before but it was way too chewy and not at all tasty. Resist the urge to order it; not really worth it. And yes, they do add the tip to your bill, so boo on that. read more

try the rattlesnake appetizer just to tell people you ate it. don't expect much because it was mostly batter and oil. so we had a party of 7. everyone got different plates just so we could sample everything. just order the pork ribs people! all the other meats blew chunks. the chicken was dry, steaks were rubbery and lacked flavor. none of our stomachs sat well after eating here. stay far away! the only thing this place has going are the waiters. they kept our drinks filled to the rim and got us whatever we needed in a short amount of time. read more

Yippee-ei-o! - rattlesnake - Steakhouses Near Me - Tusayan, Arizona

Instead of going off the reviews on here I decided to ask the staff at the Grand Canyon which restaurant to go to in tusayan. They recommended yippee ei o and I am glad they did. We all got different things and everything was good. I recommend the ribs or the filet. The chicken was a bit dry. The staff was great as well! read more

Service was very overbearing at first, but then almost disappeared after the food arrived. Everyone in our party ordered the Cowboy steak, which was delicious and cook exactly as requested. The meals come with a lot of additional sides as well. They were only accepting cash when we dined due to telephone issues though, which was a bummer. read more

If this place were anywhere but near the Grand Canyon south rim village it would be a 2-star place. But by virtue of being pleasantly tolerable in a sea of Xanterra-monopolized crap restaurants, it gets 3 stars. It was touristy and cowboy-themed but the food was decent and filling. Do not fall for the rattlesnake, which I tried just to try but I should have known was going to be bony. In fact, it tasted like a thin piece of rubber chicken with 8 sharp bones...deep fried. Had a steak but felt like I would've been happier with a burger. Came with a biscuit, potato, corn and beans. One of the coolest parts of dinner were the elk just waling by like they owned the place. Overall it was a pleasant meal (the second best best of my grand canyon trip behind the salami, prosciutto and cheese I brought with me). read more

Knocking off a star 'cause it took a minute to get seated but I'm guessing it was because they had just opened. Best BBQ we've had. Ever. I had the filet medium rare...bits of charred goodness on the outside (cooked over an open flame) and perfectly pink in the middle. No seasonings, just the meat...that's how you know it's good; when the meat speaks for itself. Fiancé had ribs and steak. Those ribs. Uggghhhh.....soooo goddam good! These guys don't speak English well, I admit. No one here does. That's a downside. But as my fiancé says, "Who cares?? Let the food speak for itself!" read more

Wasn't horrible but it was far from great. Place looked very cool and I got busy, but I think it is because it's a cool looking place. -Cheap quality food. One phrase to sum this place up- All show no go! read more

Great food and humble place and friendly environment it's all about respecting the staff

The food here was very good - service was excellent and fast, it almost felt TOO fast like they were trying to shuttle you out the door to make room for the next group. I was torn between BBQ ribs and the BBQ chicken so I got the combo platter - it was SO MUCH FOOD! I couldn't even come close to finishing it. It comes with beans, corn, cornbread, potato - it's not a choice between them, you get them ALL - so keep that in mind when ordering the entree because you could end up overloaded like me. The local beers were excellent too! For 2 people - we shared an appetizer, had 2 beers each (4 total), 2 entrees and 1 dessert and it came to a little less than $100. read more

I was here in October. In this part of the grand canyon, there is nothing for miles outside of this little strip of restaurants. My fiance and I picked this one on a whim and we were sorely disappointed. The menu is not very extensive, but you can't go wrong with steak. The steak was enjoyable, but my side of corn was clearly fresh out of the freezer. It was extremely mushy. You also get a baked potato and beans. No substitutions. I didn't want either of these things, so they went untouched. It is over priced for what it is, and everyone is stuffed together in this place. I hope you're ready to share your conversation with everyone. Also, make sure you're not tipping your usual 15-20% on top of their already added in 15%. That is in very small print at the bottom of the receipt. Try one of the places next door, you may have a better experience. read more

Great t bone steak and chicken. Biscuits and cornbread are also very good, vegetables and sides are not as great. It's a family run business so the service is a bit scattered, they are doing their best for sure. Tip is included in the bill regardless of how many are in your party. read more

Food is great but there is some Room for improvement for service ( one of our waiters can't speak English)

I am giving this place a four star rating because it is better than the rest. The food is good and you get a lot for a decent price. I had the sirloin steak and shrimp combo. With the salad, soup, and bread, I thought the value was good and the steak was fine. I also tried the rattlesnake meat appetizer. It is real rattlesnake meat! The batter was good but the snake meat itself was a little chewy. Definitely worth a shot! I would go here if I came up to the Grand Canyon again! read more

Had cowboy steak, it was tougher than I expected. The bean soup must be from the can. The cowboy waiters were running, maybe it was too busy but I don't think it's appropriate to run in the restaurant. read more

I was expecting worse than we got due to some other reviews, but the food was good, and lots of it. My steak was cooked medium rare as ordered, and while not as flavorful as some I've had, it was just fine. The side dishes and salad were fine as well. It was a good meal for the price. The decor was homey and Western, and if you're expecting anything else from a restaurant with this name you need to re-think your expectations. read more

It was busy on a Saturday night, but they got us in quick. The decor was interesting, fit the area and theme. The waiter was less than inviting, but he would get us what we asked for. The food selection was ok, as was the food. We all got burgers and they were pretty good. NOTE: They automatically charge an 18% gratuity read more

Read a lot of reviews and was really skeptical but also had really hungry kids. We had great service and the food was really good (shrimp, BBQ pork chops, kids burgers) as well as the deluxe nachos. I think a lot of the negative reviews have gotten their attention because everyone was super friendly and we, as well as others dining around us were pleased. read more

Because the service was so bad, we left before ordering, (I can't give a 1-star without eating there). We asked to sit at the bar and were seated there and given dinner menus. A server had to come over and ask us if we wanted a drink and he instructed the bartender to get us a drink and she did. Then nothing. We left after twenty minutes. read more

Steak was excellent 4 stars,sides not so much ,corn mushy, salad only lettuce ,tiny bit of onion, and 2 grape tomatoes, no choice of dressing, ranch only, 2 stars. Service bad, she took our order came back only once, never ask if we needed refills, 1 star. read more

Convenient stop on the way back to Williams from the Grand Canyon. Typical western steakhouse atmosphere and menu, including rattlesnake appetizer ($9.95 for 3 small pieces) and several cuts of steak (neither cowboy cut $15.95 nor cowboy combo cut $18.95 were prime grade - fatty, ok flavor and cooked as ordered, but mid to low quality). Servers were rushed, inattentive and impersonal. Seems main objective is to feed and herd as many tourists as possible. read more
