    Our Local Expert Says:

    In addition to food and a fun, gimmicky atmosphere, the nightly entertainment ranges from Native American dancing to singing cowboys.

    Description:

    Hop up onto one of the barstools and you will be sitting on a saddle actually used to ride into the canyon. Enjoy a cocktail, or settle in for a hearty breakfast, Western-style lunch or sizzling steak dinner. Native American dancers perform most evenings during dinner, year round, at no extra charge. Steaks and barbecue are the specialties of the house. The dark wood decor and soaring ceilings give this restaurant the hunting lodge ambiance typical of Grand Canyon restaurants and hotels.

It is essential that you reserve your meals before you make your Grand Canyon descent.
