    Park across the street in the shade- haha
    Shay K.

    Super quaint and quiet burger spot on the way in or out of Sedona or Flag. Refreshing chilled ice cream and hot burger and fries. Love to pull in and dine at the creek across the street and enjoy the bubbling water rushing and sit in the shade. It's always tasty and hot lunch and so easy to pull in off the main road

    We stopped here for ice cream on our way down the canyon to Sedona. Nice little spot with vendors selling Native American items. The ice cream was amazing and the scoops are ginormous.

    Chocolate shake
    Hector R.

    Chocolate shake is the bomb super delicious. They use blue bell ice cream. They had some vendors outside selling custom jewery. I have to update this review this has been the best chocolate shake I have ever had

    Enjoyed the Canyon Burger however, AJ's is lacking in atmosphere and service. Nothing bad but just nothing special.

Every bite was perfectly balanced -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked like someone actually cares about what they're putting on a plate. The kind of burger that makes you stop mid-conversation just to process what just happened. This wasn't just a meal -- it was an experience. Whoever is running that kitchen knows exactly what they're doing. I'll be thinking about these burgers for a long time. Absolute perfection Great mood lighting. The service is professional and warm hearted. Kyra was our server A++

    I really wanted this to be a five star after reading the reviews and ordering their "award winning"…read moreburgers. We got three burgers (waco kid, funghi sublime, and Italian stallion - first two had won awards but we were assured we couldn't go wrong), and a side of yucca fries. Maybe we came on a bad night but the burger patties were way too salty - two were very salty one was less so but still too salty for a good burger patty - it ruined what would have been very creatively curated burgers. The yucca fries tasted great, not healthy if thast what you're going for when you think of yucca since it's deep-fried in a potato batter, but it was good. We did still eat the food, though I had to down a whole glass of water with it (which didn't get refilled until after I asked for the check.. it was not a busy night, we were surrounded by empty tables). When asked how our food was toward the end of our meal I mentioned that the patties were too salty but that the yucca fries were good. Nothing was mentioned/done about that for us but hopefully they checked on that for the sake of the rest of their customers after us.

They were running a fun, seasonal soccer-themed menu when we visited. Our group tried the prickly pear refreshers, and for lunch, we ordered the dirty burger, lattice-wrapped burger, and a regular burger paired with sweet potato fries. The burgers were just okay. A couple of people in our group noticed the meat was a bit chewy and tough, seemingly from being overcooked The only downside was the timing of the kitchen. Our food wasn't served together, leaving one friend waiting until the rest of us were nearly finished eating due to an order mix-up. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation well and applied a 20% discount to the delayed item once we pointed it out

    Stopped at Outlaw Grille for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon and luckily found a table inside…read moretheir air conditioned den. This is an order at the register then find your table establishment. Much of the menu was tempting, but we settled on the Rowdy Reuben with sweet potato fries and the Rajun Cajun with seasoned fries. There's a nice variety of canned and bottled sodas in the fridge next to the checkout, so we snagged the local sumac berries strawberry and peaches & cream Navajo Fizz sodas. These quenched our thirst without being too sweet or carbonated, and it was difficult to not drink more than one. Our order came out fairly quickly, in about 15 minutes, and was piping hot and fresh. Both sandwiches and fries were great and included fairly large portion sizes. The Rajun Cajun featured an impressive amount of thin cut avocado slices and bacon, although I really did not taste the Cajun seasoning. My favorites were the crispy sweet potato fries and Reuben sandwich with homemade sauerkraut. Be sure to request some of Outlaw Grille's homemade ranch to go along with it if you're a fries + ranch person. We enjoyed visiting this unique eatery in downtown Sedona, and would return for the fair prices & tasty sandwiches and fries.

    Upon visiting Sedona for the first time, we noticed that photos of food didn't seem that impressive…read moredespite prices being impressive. Outlaw Grille served as an exception. You order at the window, take a number, and seat yourself in a small shopping complex. While there's the option to sit inside a small/air-conditioned room, there's also shaded patio seating and seating in the hallway of the connected small shopping building, where most of the tables are. It's completely shaded but open to outside air. After ordering the The Morning After burger (Fried Egg, Bacon, Cheddar, Fresh Jalapenos) + small Seasoned Fries (for 1-2 people), we waited about 15 minutes for the food to be brought to our table. They were kind enough to cut the burger in half and provide an egg for each half, since they knew we were sharing!! Indeed, 1 burger and 1 small fry is enough to feed 2 people. As expected, the burger was juicy, flavorful, and the egg was perfectly fried to still be runny. Outlaw Grille is a small burger joint packed with big flavors. No frills, no nonsense -- just good ass food at reasonable prices. Bonus: asking for a free water cup will score you delicious Sedona spring water!

They also have a pretty elevated menu that surprised me with some of the menu options that were pretty inventive. Vibe: They have plenty of parking, plenty of seating inside and out, and they are dog friendly. There is a lot of open space and I like the area because you get a nice view, the little courtyard is really relaxing and they are very welcoming. Service: One thing that stood out to me was the cans that have a red and green on each side. If you flip it to the green it lets them know you need the host and red if your table is good. They are very attentive this way so I really liked this. Or hosts were very amazing and sweet and gave some good suggestions. Beer: I got one of the ambers, and my wife got one of their lighter beers. Hers kind of had the taste of miller light so it was ok, and mine was good. We did not try yo many beers, their IPA's looked pretty good but we wanted t something light and simple. Food: We opened up with their patatas bravas fries with sweet potato fries and they were really good, we could not stop eating them, the sauce was delicious and the sweet potato fries were perfection. My mother in law got the chicken sandwich and chips and that was definitely the way to go, crispy, savory and just delicious, I got the Thai burger, med rare with chips, this is where I say they got inventive, I have never had a Thai burger and being a cook myself I loved the concept. Unfortunately my burger was a little more rare that mid rare the closer I got to the center of it and under seasoned there were some Thai flavors present but most of it was taken over by the slaw, so you did not get much of the peanut sauce, the crunchy noodle part of it go more soggy and so did the bun. I think it's a wonderful concept, I think there may be a better bun to use to not let it get so soggy, and I think there are some amazing Thai spices you can get with the protein. My wife got the Greek Tacos and they were ok too, I love the concept but I think instead of corn tortillas I would do some thin naan , I would have more Greek style seasoning and some kind of sauce with some heat with it and you have a winner. Over all it was fun, love the inventive concept I was going to do three starts but honestly I love that your doing interesting foods. .

The views were spectacular, especially on the drive down (sunset). But all around us was beautiful scenery and beautiful airplanes which only make things better! The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp ceviche (sorry I forgot to take a photo) but it was great to share- so fresh! A little juicy but still so yumm! The food was all so good and any of the other dishes we saw come out also looked tasty! The fish and chips was a top choice for my mom, who Loves this dish! The fries are unique shaped and SO good! I had the blackened salmon ceasar, The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked with such flavor and not dry (a common issue I often find with salmon on salads especially) My aunt had never ordered kale, but I think she may start after loving the kasalad! Service is as pretty standard. Our server wasn't overly attentive but the support staff were great and ensured we had lots of water and were sweet to my daughter (baby). We all left very full, in love with the views and all members happy with the food! So I'd call that a win!

The cocktails were solid the flavor was delicious and refreshing 9/10! The Coolest thing was being able to eat with our dog there, the restaurant is really nice on the eyes but the food was lackluster and definitely not recommendable which sucks because it has the potential to be better. The waiter was very polite and attentive but sadly for the price this restaurant is a HUGE let down. The food was less than mediocre. I had the "steak and frites" which came with unseasoned corn and a dash of tajin which makes absolutely no sense paired with a kbbq inspired sauce on the steak??? The 'frites' tasted like frozen air fried rally's fries. The steak was a bit unseasoned and bland like the corn (we were on the verge of sending it back but we're not those people) I think a revamp on the menu would do this restaurant well and really thinking critically on ingredients / quality and pairings of proteins.
