    Great experience at Cameron Trading Post Restaurant during our last night in Arizona! We originally stopped because there's a Shell gas station right next door and we needed gas, but once we looked over and saw the restaurant, we checked Yelp, saw the great reviews and photos, and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! After several days of driving, hiking, and kayaking, it was really nice to finally sit down and enjoy a relaxing dinner. There's also a Native shop attached to the restaurant, which was fun to browse through before eating. The restaurant itself is toward the back, and the restrooms are conveniently located nearby, so I was able to freshen up and change before dinner after being outdoors all day. I ordered the deluxe cheeseburger combo, which totally hit the spot, while my friend got the beef stew with Native fry bread. I'll admit, I was a little jealous when I saw her dish because it looked so warm and comforting after the chilly weather and all the kayaking and hiking we had done earlier that day! Thankfully she let me try the fry bread, and it was delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was great, and it ended up being the perfect way to wrap up our Arizona trip. Definitely recommend stopping here to fill up on gas and grab a good sit-down meal while passing through!

    Cameron Trading Post, perched above the Little Colorado River on Highway 89 is our favorite place to bring newcomers to the Colorado Plateau region. Interesting things stand the test of time here. I've been told boys born around 1920 used a Spanish armor breastplate to slide on village dunes. In Old Oraibi, beans and bean stems in a pot placed in an underground storage area and forgotten, carbon dated at Northern Arizona University to about 800 CE/AD. Cameron Trading Post and the first bridge across the Little Colorado are in that swirl of time. Stone architecture from 1916 or earlier, stands solidly in place. Most indoor areas are modernized. Some dining room decorations date to the early years. The pressed tin ceilings were common in my grandparent's world - and rusted away long ago in most of the USA. The main trading post has everything from old, valuable, regional items, to gleaming eye-grabbers from China luring toddlers and youngsters into tantrums. There are also food and other useful items for everyday life, like hanks of wool yarn, etc. The restaurant has excellent, regionally based dishes for your dining appreciation, wspecially the giant, hefty, Navajo Taco. There's a hotel here. A woman I knew, losing her hundred years alive to COVID in 2021, worked in the hotel as a teenager. Gas Station, apparently an RV Park, another great shop full of antique Southwest treasures are on the grounds. This is an exceptional stop on the Colorado Plateau.

    04/16/26 Definitely worth the stop. The employees are friendly and the food is fantastic. While we were visiting the area, my husband wanted to try frybread. The Warrior Surprise did not disappoint. The frybread was huge, soft, and fluffy. The taco toppings on top were delicious and the egg on top was cooked perfectly. The prickly pear stuffed french toast was a delight and had just the right amount of sweetness. The french toast was accompanied by regular syrup and prickly pear syrup. The two items were a flawless pair of savory and sweet and we shared both items.

    Wednesday, 4/01/2026 - We tried this Cameron Fine Dining Parlor in this Cameron Trading Post place. Address is 466 N Hwy 89, Cameron, AZ 86020. This is a store with bathrooms, a restaurant inside, small section selling snacks, jewelry, clothing, pottery, toys, nicknacks, etc. We went to try the restaurant. Parking outside is plenty. But... the foods were NOT good. Very bland, dry, & over cooked.. The Navajo Taco wasn't bad tho. But everyone at our table did not like their dishes. We just ate it because we bought it. None of us were very impressed. But the server was nice. Water tasted great. No funky or metal taste to water or ice. Service is on the slow side. It didn't look to packed inside. But it took them like 10 to 15 minutes to seat us. It took them quite a while to bring us our tab. I think maybe they are short staffed. I don't know. But our server, Keneah, was very nice and professional. If you're very hungry, stop by here to grab something to eat. Besides that, i don't think we'll ever return to eat at this place. But we may stop by to buy nicknacks. Try the restaurant for yourself and determine. None of us liked it very much.

    We were driving to Colorado and found Cameron Trading Post on Yelp. We decided to pop in for lunch. There is a lot to do in this little center including the art shop, hotel, post office, gift shop and restaurant. From the moment we walked in to the gift shop, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Everyone said hello and welcome. We walked through to the restaurant and were sat immediately. Our server was Brenda and she was so pleasant and attentive! I recommend asking to sit in her section if you decide to dine. We ordered the Navajo taco and Green chili soup which came with a piece of fry bread. All three were good but needed a little more seasoning. I added salt and it was very good. I would recommend sharing the Navajo taco. It was huge and I felt bad not finishing it! The soup was the perfect size. After lunch we walked through the gift shop. Endless isles of beautiful Navajo rugs, baskets, Kachinas, jewelry, clothing, hats, trinkets and art. You could spend hours exploring the gift shop. I definitely recommend stopping here if looking for a day trip from the Phoenix area or passing through.

    We visited Cameron Trading Post for our first meal in the Navajo Nation after hearing about the amazing frybread they serve at the restaurant. The dining room here is absolutely huge. It's probably the size of a banquet hall, yet wasn't crowded at all when we walked in at 5:30PM on a Sunday. I have no idea if they ever actual fill up this cavernous space! Navajo Taco ($14.99) - The frybread base is fried well, giving a slightly crisp and crusty outer shell. The interior is leavened well, making it somewhat bready, although with plenty of air bubbles creating lightness and a puffy quality. It's quite a large piece, measuring at probably 8 inch in diameter and it tastes a bit alkaline. It's topped first with a mixture of chili beans and ground beef, both of which are tender. The ground beef isn't consistent in size, with some chunks larger, almost like mini meatballs, and some smaller. The beef doesn't have any charring at all, so I'm thinking it was perhaps boiled. It tastes like it has minced onion mixed in. Neither the beef nor the beans are seasoned much at all, leaving them very bland in taste overall, but there's a tiny bit of heat that whets the appetite. Both are served in a bit of liquid that soaks into the frybread underneath. On top, they load up plenty of shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, chopped tomato, and green chile. All are relatively bland ingredients and left unsalted, even the chile somehow (which also has zero spice). It all makes for a meal that's quite bland* and unappetizing. Luckily they have a cup of fresh salsa on the side that adds some additional flavor. It's made in house, using fresh tomatoes that are quite acidic, salted well, and has a bit of a pleasant smoky element. (3/5) Beef Stew ($11.85) - The waitress highly recommended this dish. This is simple and clean comfort food. The stew includes chunks of beef, not cubed, but pieces that seem to be random boiled off cuts. They are a bit tough but not bad. There's then tender russet potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion, clearly all chopped in house due to the rather haphazardly cut pieces. There's not too much clear broth included, but it's seasoned pretty well, not too salty, with plenty of vegetable and savory flavors. It's a simple homestyle stew with clean flavors. Good stuff. This also comes with a whole piece of frybread and two packets of honey. (4/5) Cameron Trading Post gives a lot of food. We ended up finishing the taco and the stew, but left most of the frybread to pack up for later. The food is certainly much more affordable than the places in Tusayan on the other entrance to the Grand Canyon! And it was a great introduction to the cuisine of the area. Bathrooms - Not in the restaurant itself, but plenty around in the general store area. *Note: after eating my way through the Navajo Nation over the following week, I discovered that most of their food is very undersalted. They instead rely on the natural flavors of the ingredients only. It's an interesting aspect of their cooking, one that goes against pretty much all other cuisines I've tried.

    Definitely an interesting place to stop by A huge gift shop with lots to offer. Which I think alone is worth a stop They had quite a lot on the menu. I went for the Navajo taco. It was okay. Lacked flavor for me and could have been warmer upon arrival. The fry bread was delicious tho. My bf got the fry burger and he really enjoyed that, it was pretty tasty. Coming from New Mexico I got their sopapilla. It was pretty good but not the same as NM. Prices are very good for the size of the meal. There was a line when we arrived but it moved very quickly. Lots of seating, and looks like there might be some good views by the windows. Restrooms are very clean. Service was average. Felt a bit slow for food. The servers weren't exactly warm but when addressed when I mentioned something was forgotten they were very kind and patient. Would I stop again? Hmmm maybe? Would I recommend you go? Hmm, def for the store to get a souvenir but perhaps you wouldn't miss too much on the food

    Stopped by here on our way to Sedona and found ourselves enjoying lunch at the restaurant inside of this trading post. The navajo taco and beef stew were delicious. Food service was great. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. Food here are affordable. The decorations are beautiful. The place overall is clean. Restrooms for customers are clean and well maintained. There are plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

    What a beautiful place to stop for a great meal. We had to try some Fry Bread, it was excellent, Avacado Toast was great! Ambiance is SUPER. CS left a little to be desired, we asked for a table by the windows with a view, we were denied even thou they were all empty?? Our Server was excellent, and very attentive. Service is phenomenal.

    Loved the variety of authentic arts and crafts, jewelry too. Also a beautiful restaurant with a spectacular view! It is definitely worth the stop.

    Stopped here after a long day of hiking, and I couldn't help but feel like I'd been transported back to the 1940s. The place has an old Western vibe that sets the tone for some classic local cuisine. Of course, we had to try the Navajo taco -- it's huge and definitely enough to share between 2-3 people. I loved the crispy edges of the fry bread, and if the meat and beans had just a bit more flavor, it would've been a total hit. We also tried the prickly pear wings, which had a nice kick of heat. I just wish they had been a bit crispier for that perfect bite. Bonus: You can grab some souvenirs and snacks for the road on your way out. A fun little stop with a lot of character.

    Fun stuff in the main trading post (some authentic, some not so much), and super fascinating history to be learned in the more exclusive store adjacent. Originally native art, ceremonial outfits, stunning jewelry - a lot waaaaay beyond my price point but the window shopping was excellent. The best part? The gardens. The landscaping and grounds are an oasis that I could have stayed in all day!!!

    I went here on a tour from Sedona to the Grand Canyon. We were able to get some great local artwork and souvenirs for family and friends. We ended with lunch at their restaurant and so glad we did. The portions are huge! We had the fried bread which was fluffy and delish. I could only eat half of it. We left full and satisfied.

    Indian tacos- YUM!!!

We decided on two pizzas- the 12" Shrimp Fra Diavolo (pesto sauce, spicy shrimp, basil, and the wonderful Calabrian chiles and chili oil) and a 10" Pepperoni. The shrimp pizza was amazing and will have me stopping in here on future Flagstaff trips! The crust was perfectly cooked- a little char from the wood smoke oven and a little chewiness like a good crust should have.

Beautiful wood and earthy decor. Not overly bearing but rather great balance.

Your experience could be different based on your server just like any other restaurant. Our server was kind, respectful and provided great service.

The food options in general in the Grand Canyon are grim, so we didn't expect too much, only being lured in by the promise of 10% off due to our hotel stay at the Red Feather Lodge. The food was even worse than our low expectations. Walking in for dinner on Saturday during the shoulder season, it wasn't very busy at all. And yet we felt like we were ignored for a good while before we were able to place our order. Service in general was very slow, with the waitress disappearing for several long stretches of time. For example, it took about 20 minutes to get our order in after we had sat down and then another 20 minutes after we had finished to get the check. At least the chips and salsa arrived quickly. Chips and Salsa (Complementary) - These are standard yellow corn tortilla chips, with tons of tiny crushed chips on the bottom and larger whole ones on top. The salsa is slightly spicy, tangy, has plenty of crunchy chopped onion and tender tomatoes mixed in along with fresh herbs. Pretty standard stuff but tasty. Pork Carnitas ($29.99) - When this dish came out we were not sure what exactly we had received. What was on the plate certainly didn't look like carnitas; instead it looked like some kind of pork stew. We flagged the waitress down and she insisted they were carnitas. Strange. The "carnitas" consists of cubed and stewed pork mixed with celery and peppers. The cubes are compressed and cannot be shredded apart. There is a tiny bit of texture on some pieces that indicate that they had been fried at some point, but they are mostly tender instead. The texture reminds me of commercial pork that's been injected with saline and preservatives. It's very lean but the stewing liquid adds tons of rich, deep, flavors to the dish. Unfortunately the pork itself doesn't taste good. There's a strange off flavor, perhaps of older or freezer burned meat. The rice and beans are pretty normal. The rice is moist but each fried grain can be felt. It has appropriate salty tomato flavor. The beans are tender and mostly mashed, a little on the silky/watery side with some pieces of bean remaining. They are seasoned appropriately. Given the texture on the beans I wonder if they are from a can and/or direct from a commercial supplier. This dish is served with four small flour tortillas which are the worst I have ever seen at a Mexican restaurant. They are completely dried out, glued together into a stack. Clearly no care was given to storage. Any Mexican restaurant should be ashamed at serving the quality of the tortillas we received. Finally, there's some pico de gallo and guac to create some "carnitas" tacos. The guac is quite tangy from citrus juice. No matter what the waitress said, I don't think this dish was "Pork Carnitas." Even after leaving the restaurant, I tried to do some research to see if there is some regional variation of carnitas that could match this dish. I found nothing. From the pictures of another review 10 years ago, I see Plaza Bonita used to serve real carnitas - shredded deep fried pork. The switch to cubed pork must be a cost cutting measure. (1/5) Combo #2, Enchilada, Burrito, Green Corn Tamale, Shredded Beef ($24.99) - I'm not sure why anyone would order Combo #1 when the #2 is only a dollar more! The main difference between the enchilada and burrito is the tortilla used. The former has a corn tortilla, soaked a bit until soft and tender. There's a bit of standard red enchilada sauce poured on top, followed by just a bit of cheese. The burrito uses a toothsome and pliable flour tortilla that is rather tough and requires some work to get through with a knife. Both items I chose to get stuffed with shredded beef, which is actually pretty decent. It's very tender, very flavorful since they've been stewed for a while in some kind of sauce. The green corn tamale seems to be masa mixed with whole sweet corn kernels, and green chile skins (only a tiny bit of each). They add a lot of sugar, so the whole thing kind of tastes like eating sweet cornbread. The tamale is otherwise tender in texture and easy to eat. The texture is like that of an extruded masa, like it was prepared commercially in a factory. My guess based on the texture and appearance is that this isn't made in house. (3/5) Plaza Bonita was really disappointing. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous for what we received. They serve very low quality food for obscene prices. I think the only reason they survive as a business is because nothing else in the area is good either. Bathrooms - Two rooms with multiple stalls
