Try the Navajo Hot beef, has roast beef slices, brown gravy and sautéed onions all over a fry bread

Wow. This place was awesome! So awesome that 4 years later my wife and I were talking about it and we couldn't remember the name of the restaurant. So I just spent the past 5 or 10 minutes trying to figure out where it was between Grand canyon and horseshoe bend. 4 years later, here I am leaving a review. That's how good it is. I hadn't had Mexican food. This good in ages. It was awesome and we were tired. I can't even quite remember exactly what I ate but it was warm and delicious. We bought some cool trinkets and statues in the gift shop afterward and had a great time shopping there too. read more

The Cameron Trading post, made in the early 1800s is a sample of Indigenous history. If you have the chance to stop by here, you absolutely should. You walk through a gift shop with traditional Navajo creations, and they are beautiful, so make sure that you stop. When you finally make it to the restaurant, make sure that you get a seat by the window, because your view of the eastern side of the grand canyon is unmatched at any other location within a 50-mile radius. They serve traditional American classics, which I am sure that you cannot go wrong with, but we had their traditional Navajo tacos and pull apart bread alongside the homemade salsa. YUM. The portions are huge, so make sure that you are coming here after a full day of exploring. You are absolutely getting what you're paying for. The service was great and the food was wonderful. We were hesitant to stop because Cameron is a pretty isolated location, but I am so glad that we did because that pull-apart bread was something of the gods. read more

We were on a "tour" of the grand canyon and our guide stopped here for lunch and shopping. I could care less about the shopping but the lunch was great. Traditional Navajo fry bread was the highlight. I got beef stew and it was really good and a large portion. I couldn't even eat half of it and the fry bread made it even better. My husband got the taco which is made open faced on the fry bread. He said it's one of the best things he has ever eaten. They were extremely busy but we got our food quickly and all portions were huge and everyone was satisfied with their food. The raspberry tea was scrumptious. read more

Good food and excellent service. The menu is great and the service was extremely friendly. An enjoyable and relaxing lunch. The gift shop is also amazing! This is a "must stop" for everyone who enjoys food and some Indigenous crafts. read more

Highly recommend the Navajo taco...you won't be disappointed.. came from Chinle just to try the taco. Coming from a native.

One of the few places to stop on the drive to Page. Seated quickly and received quick service. The Navajo taco was good (had both regular and vegetarian), club sandwich was also good. The attached gift shop was very nice to pick up some souvenirs. Worth going if in the area. read more

((PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW) this almost made the Boo list) -1)) This place appears like any other truck stop. Upon entering we were told to use the hand sanitizer. I like that ALL business should make this rule. Once we located the restaurant we were ignored for 5 minutes, never greeted, and there was one person in front of us. I asked this lady how long was the wait? She replied well I don't know she never greeted me. (Aug. 10th @ 1:11). Terrible front end service. After another five minutes or more, someone came out and stated how many? :-/ Now, after being seated at we were quickly ask what we like to drink? A very polite hostess and given menus. During the time that she left to bring us our drink order. I have observe very strict cleaning of the tables, the chairs, the condiments for the table. That's awesome! once we ordered. Our food came quickly and it was hot and taste AWESOME!! I waitress was polite, friendly, quick, and attentive. The food was absolutely wonderful. Fresh, hot, and so freakin tasty!!!!! OMG! worth the stop. This is the reason that a -1 turned into a 4. read more

Very quiet place, no crowd yet service took long. Waited for waitress to take our order and get our check. Thought a quick stop to eat on our way through but it was a waste of time. Food was over cooked cold and missing few things. Not stopping read more

A much bigger and more elaborate establishment than I imagined, reminiscent of the historic Harvey House eateries, tin ceilings and all. A large parking area, suitable for RVs. You have to walk completely through the gift shop to get to the restaurant. Spectacular, colorful canyon view out the restaurant's huge rear window. The wait to order was terribly long; waitress explained they are attempting to staff up, but no takers. We stopped here specifically for the Navajo Tacos, so we each had one. Delightful bread, a large and filling meal. Kitchen time and subsequent waiter service was very acceptable. read more

Wowza! The Navajo taco was beyond delicious. The frybread was very lite and airy. Got all the toppings that come with it. Everything was cooked perfectly. The ambience and sitting by the window was delightful. The staff were professional. Great experience. Off my bucket list. read more

The Navajo taco is amazing. From doing a little research it appears they use a traditional fry bread in lieu of a tortilla and I feel so lucky I got to taste some authentic flavors of Navajo cooking. It was absolutely a highlight of my road trip. The bread is crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. You could put dirt off the ground on top of that fry bread and I think it would still taste incredible. A sweet woman who sells beautiful handmade jewelry, blankets, and pottery nearby recommended the Navajo taco as being the thing I absolutely needed to try while I was in Cameron and she was not wrong! read more

This place was massive and had a lot of local crafted items, some good prices on touristy items with more expensive custom items as well. A good place to stop on the way to or from Flagstaff to Page. read more

Cameron Trading Post by far has my favorite Navajo tacos! I love stopping here when driving through to Arizona or when visiting the Grand Canyon National Park. Not only is the food lovely, the kids love looking at the Navajo handmade crafts. read more

We stopped here on our way to Arches National Park since not been here and looks tourisy. Tons of buses stopped as it must be one of their highlights. anyway, it has variety of Knick knacks, a restaurant (we didn't eat there) etc. the view was nice. Since on reservation land they're still observing mask policies which I thought was fine. They provide masks if you need it. It was really busy. read more

If you like Indian artwork, crafts, souvenirs, Indian themed clothing, jewelry, and any possible thing under the sun that has a connection to Native Americans -here is your place to shop. It's like the Walmart of Indian souvenirs. Walk through the store and it goes on and on and on. Aisle after aisle of pottery, toy bow and arrows, fabric, blankets, dream catchers, jewelry, sculptures, shirts, hats, wall art, baskets, musical instruments, etc. Our tour bus gave us a coupon for a discount, and we made a half hour stop here to hit the restrooms and hit the sales floor. read more

My family and I will often stop here on our way to Lake Powell. Without fail I will hear my kids yelling from the back seat that it is potty time. These words will often send shivers up you back as a parent on Highway 89 because there are so few places to stop. This is where Cameron Trading Post comes to the rescue. They have the cleanest facilities I have ever seen. I would not be surprised if someone cleans this bathroom every hour. Don't get me wrong this place is not just amazing for a bathroom break. They have everything you could ask for in a pit stop. There are all kinds of treats and snacks, tons of great little gifts and trinkets and the employees are very friendly. Their Covid protocol is on point too. I have a retail management background and it is clear to see that whoever manages this place is on their A game. Kuddos for creating such a great gem in the middle of nowhere!! read more

At 5:30 pm the Navajo burger was dry as if it had been sitting since lunch. The French dip was two slabs of tough meat. Too tough to chew. The au jus was cold. Don't understand the hype. Got a 20% discount for not eating anything. I remember when the full bill would be comped and free desert would be offered. But, I'm showing my age. This is a tourist trap and they know we'll never be back. read more

Don't let yourself pass this little gem. We left the Grand Canyon later than expected so there was no hotels for the next 6-8 hours drive. The front desk clerk was so helpful and got us a room. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. It's very nice, quite and clean. And the sunset in the morning is spectacular. We also had dinner at the restaurant. It was very delicious. I recommend the Navajo taco. It's huge like a pizza. I also had a chance to talk to the security guard. He was very nice. The store looked amazing but it was already super late so we didn't get a chance to browse. This place is very much a hidden gem. read more

Stayed here after a full day at the Grand Canyon. This is a close location and the rooms are clean and cute. They have a wonderful gift shop and I was sorry we did not go to the restaurant. This is not your everyday place, but a very unique and quiet stop for rest. read more

Stopped here on our way to Utah and I'm glad we did. We didn't know anything about the fry bread but the wife and I decided to order it. She got the huevos rancheros with fry bread and I got the avocado toast on fry bread. When we got them we were both surprised at how huge it came . It was very delicious and tasted like a funnel cake. read more

Loved the Indian fry bread! Lots of pottery and jewelry. Very well maintained. Fun place to visit.

Came for the views, stayed for the fry bread. Navajo Taco - 9/10 Just the most fluffy, airy, and delicious treat this Navajo Fry Bread is. And to pair it with taco fillings was fitting. The bread definitely dominates the dish, my only complaint is a small critique; the shredded cheese wasn't melted and the vegetable toppings could have been fresher, but it was a very satisfying and filling meal nonetheless. More than enough for one person. Chips and Guac - 3/10 Flavorless and stale chips with bland guacamole that tastes like it came from a package. They can't all be winners. ‍ Prickly Pear Milkshake - 7/10 May have been a fluke but it just so happened that all the pear-flavored syrup was collected at the bottom of the cup. After a thorough mixing it still just tasted like a vanilla milkshake, a good one, but missing that signature prickly pear flavor. Beautiful views of the canyon out the big glass windows, very quick service, and a spacious dining room. Would love to come back and try their desserts! read more

Amazing Navajo Taco! Loved it so much loaded with beans and meat and all the garnishes on a fresh crispy fry bread! Definitely worth a stop!

Saw the sign about 20 minutes out and decided to stop. Got 2 Navajo tacos, one with some kind of beef and chili and gravy, and a fry bread with honey. Didn't expect such large portions, but it was all delicious!! They still require masks and will have you put on sanitizer when you go inside. Wait was maybe 20-30 minutes to go inside, order, and get our food. I would suggest calling ahead your order so you have less of a wait. I know it's a tourist trap but it was a good break in the drive and tasty food! read more

huuuuge portions. perfect way to revive (and lowkey die again) after a day hiking the grand. friends got the navajo taco and the prickly pear ribs, the latter is pricey but WORTH it. i got the chili, which came with a side of the navajo fried bread--basically the taco but with less fritterings, just what i wanted (and saved me some $$ as one of the simplest options). we also did the combo appetizer deal to try three different apps, the pull apart bread doesn't look like much but was definitely the best choice. the other apps were the hot wings (kinda small, and in general i'm not a huge dane of on the bone chicken) and something that wasn't memorable, apparently. had to get our Disposal Friend to finish half my chili and a bit of the navajo taco. read more

Got seated right away but then waited 15 minutes for our order to get taken. After our order was taken it was 40 minutes until we got our food. Our food order must have gotten lost or they simply didn't care because our waitress was seating tables, taking their orders and bringing their food out before ours. Our drinks sat empty with us having to wave down another waitress who wasn't ours to get a refill. The service overall was pretty lousy. The food wasn't anything crazy, we did the Navajo tacos and I wouldn't order them again. The fried bread was absolutely delicious but the chili that comes with it wasn't flavorful. I'm sure some of their other stuff here is probably good but I wouldn't get the tacos again. I wouldn't stop here again if I was passing through but I thought it was worth trying the authentic food for the area. read more

We stayed one night here and had dinner as well. Overall a very positive experience and would come again. The hospitality of the Navajo nation at it's finest. Restaurant- Friendly staff, just a little bit slow. Food was good quality. We really enjoyed the fry bread. The Navajo taco could use a little more seasoning, but was huge and fresh. The decor had a good old west vibe and was classy, but not snobbish. Kids meals were a good value as well. Gift shop- Huge. Tons of options. You could wander around here for awhile and find something for everyone. Super helpful staff. Hotel- Really classy rooms with firm and comfortable beds. High end finishes and very roomy. A couple small maintenance issues, but not serious. Very clean and quite. Nice courtyard. read more

This is not our first stay here, but likely will be our last. Check-in - fine, except for the room we were given. (More on that below.) Dinner that evening was very good. I regret not getting our server's name. She was friendly and professional. Here's the description of the room that we booked. "Double - Our two bed rooms feature spacious living and sleeping area with a marvelous view of the Little Colorado River Gorge from your balcony and the beautiful Cameron Gardens at your front door. Enjoy cable television, wireless Internet access, heating and air conditioning, a private bathroom with bath and shower, coffee maker and telephone." What it doesn't say is that the beds are double sized - not queen. We took the word "double" to mean two beds as opposed to "single", which meant one bed. The "view" consisted of a couple of bushes and our parked car. No canyon view, and no gardens at our front door. (See attached pictures.) The motel was barely occupied. There may have been a total of 7-10 cars at the most overnight, ours was one of two in the building in which we were located. There were many rooms that we could have been given, which would have given us a view other than our car and some bushes. Breakfast the morning of our departure. We arrived as the doors opened along with a large busload of tourists. We watched as they sat themselves at tables obviously prepared for their reservations. No staff were around. Upon finally finding someone to seat us, we were seated and offered no coffee or water to begin. We sat and sat and sat for about 15 minutes waiting for one of the servers (several of whom had now appeared and were helping the tour group.) We opted to leave. We understand that a great deal of money was to be made with that group over the two of us, but we have frequented the restaurant on several occasions as we travel through the area quite frequently as do friends. Our disappointment is great. read more

Interesting place. While on a tour, we stopped here to eat some authentic Indian inspired cuisine. I'm no stranger to eating some big meals, but wow these meals are no joke.

Clean restrooms and interesting keepsakes. If you're driving by I recommend stopping in and checking it out. read more

Happy to support this wonderful place! The staff is beyond kind, and so welcoming, and there is really something for everyone here. The gift shop has many beautifully crafted objects and there's a nice book selection too. They are taking Covid very seriously and I applaud them for their efforts - you need to sanitize your hands, be wearing a double-ply mask (no bandanas) and enter and exit through different doors. They may even be keeping track of capacity - good for them. We stayed two nights here because of the proximity to the GC and to other areas of interest within driving distance. The kind young woman taking our food order at the restaurant's entrance really made our stay extra comfortable - she was funny and efficient and just straight up kind. We loved their breakfasts, which we would take to go and eat in the lovely gardens near our room. The first night we arrived we got Navajo tacos and sat by the canyon ridge to eat them, where they have some picnic tables. Rooms were very clean and the cleaning staff was very helpful. Overall an outstanding stay. read more

So, we stopped in for a Navajo taco because it was the thing to do. Cool place!! Beautiful dining room in the back with an impressive stone fireplace. Good news! Coke products!! Woohoo!!! So, the "taco" is freaking huuuuge! The fry bread is yummy by itself (torn from the edges) - wish I had some honey to put on it! My only complaint is that for $12.99, I would expect there to be at least SOME beef on there. I purposefully dug around in my taco searching for tiny morsels.... and that's all I found... a few tiny crumbles of meat. That was disappointing! Husband managed to finish his whole taco!! I don't know whether to be proud or appalled or afraid (we still have an hour to drive...)! The whole thing was a bit bland for my taste, even after adding salsa. So. I can check the Navajo taco off my to-eat-list. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, I thought it was overrated. We had about a 20 minute wait for a table. Then the service was pretty slow and I thought the food was pretty average. The fry bread was incredibly greasy. read more

Highly rec staying, shopping, and eating here! First, they call it a "motel" but it is really a boutique hotel in quality and uniqueness. The rates are such good value and are standard by season (not up-down daily like on travel sites). The rooms are huge, incredibly clean and well maintained, and is just very comfortable. Our second floor room had a patio with a view of the historic bridge, and a lush green garden on the other side. This was the best place we stayed on a 2-week trip to National Parks in UT and AZ. There's super convenient entry to the East Entrance of the Grand Canyon. Shopping: get all your Native American and Grand Canyon themed gifts, souvenirs, and crafts here. There's authentic, excellent quality Native American art, jewelry, and crafts. We bought a large sand painting and really nice jewelry--really cool. You can rest assured the pieces are authentic and benefit indigenous persons. Restaurant: Although the Navajo Taco is popular and certainly hearty and plentiful, I preferred the other meat and fish dishes which are lighter. The breakfast menu is particular good. Everything is very Covid safe bc Navajo Nation takes it very seriously, unlike other places out west. Customers should respect their sovereignty and commitment to public health and safety. read more

Super pleased with the room. Clean , spacious and bed is comfortable. Trading post has everything you could want as a souvenir. Beautiful pottery , rugs and jewelry. Food was ok.

Never gonna eat here again. Mostly bc after I finished I wanted to relax in my car a bit. Security came up to my vehicle and said no one is allowed past 8pm. That's totally disingenuous bc I didn't finish and pay for my meal until 830. Food was disappointing and over priced too.
