    I simply cannot say enough about this place. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Especially Kara. This young lady has to be the best server we have seen. We have been visiting the area every other week due to some family matters and we have eaten here several times and stayed in the Quality Inn adjacent to the restaurant. The building definitely looks dated. However don't let that fool you. Bcz this is a great place to stay and eat. We have had the breakfast buffet and we have had lunch and everything is great. This past visit I tried the enchiladas with beans and rice. I was skeptical Bcz I prefer California Mexican food. I've never cared for southwest style Mexican food. But this was really good. I was very surprised. I tried a Mexican restaurant in Gallup NM. recently and it was not good at all. But I thoroughly enjoyed this one! This place definitely gets 5 stars Kudos to the management for putting together this amazing staff. We will be frequent visitors.

    It's our second time here this week. Good to be back @ a table here on the Rez. Servers here are cordial and courteous, drinks stay full. We ordered the Navajo burger (tortilla) this time around, with fries and the onion rings. Onion rings have a wet batter and came out nice & crispy, hot & well done. Very filling.

    I love this restaurant. I have been coming here ever since I was a small child. The food is consistently good. The employees are fantastic, quick, and super nice. I cannot recommend coming here enough. I am so glad that I was able to stop by and get an updated menu and some updated hours of operation post pandemic. For those who are interested, they are usually operating until 7:30 PM. I've also included a picture of the updated menu. If you are looking for a good place to eat locally definitely stop by here!

    Had to try the Navajo Taco! Love fry bread; this was so huge I had to take most of it home. Very hearty!

    I wanted to stop in the capitol of Diné (Navajo) Nation, so it worked out that we were starving for lunch right as we pulled in to this restaurant. (On a side note, I wonder if this is the "Navajo Inn" in authors Tony/Anne Hillerman's novels about detectives Leaphorn and Chee...which we were listening to on Audible the whole way here!). The folks at the restaurant were super nice, and this was some of the biggest food we had on our entire trip! Of course, I had to order the Navajo Taco. It was wholly different than the ones you can get on the roadside stands, but this was a hearty meal of beans, ground beef. and taco fixings, all on a large, pillowy fry bread. It's local fare, and I highly recommend trying it if you're in the area. They gave us massive to-go cups and were generous with refills, plus very friendly. I found some great gifts at the hotel gift shop, which I didn't expect, and we enjoyed the beautiful little garden courtyard outside. The Window Rock itself is worth a glance, so definitely make a stop if you're in the area! Ahéhee' to all the staff here for being so awesome!

    So I never leave reviews but I had to make an exception for the Dine Restaurant located in the Quality Inn hotel - everything I have had the last few days was excellent with fast and friendly service, skip the fast food choices this is really the best place to eat in Window Rock.

    Had dinner at the restaurant as we were staying one night in the motel. The atmosphere is quaint, food is pretty standard diner style with the addition of Navajo tacos. Flat bread was good, meal was bland. Server was trying to work the whole place alone so he was by necessity a bit absent.

    Inside the Quality Inn, they serve a great weekend breakfast buffet. Their Navajo bread with honey is delicious. Reasonable prices.

    So much food! Every local we spoke to, even hotel staff said…read moreto go to Jerry's for breakfast. The service was outstanding and the restaurant was eclectic and old but very clean. I asked the waitress which was smaller the sopaipilla or the breakfast burrito? She said the sopaipilla. Holy moly. It was stuffed with thick bacon, hash browns, eggs and smothered in red and green salsa (they call it Christmas salsa). I ended up opening it and eating the inside because it was seriously enough for 2 people. Hubs had the Eye Opener. Two eggs, Christmas salsa, hash browns and bean, served with sopaipilla. He barely finished. The coffee was so good! Best place for breakfast in Gallup.

    Of course I found it through my fellow yelpers…read more I was looking for fry bread and this place popped up Decided to come because it has good reviews. Saw a guy eating a sopapilla outside said it was good and there were several people outside waiting so we were like ok it's gonna be good. Ordered the Sopapilia covered in red sauce because it was a popular choice. Sadly, I was disappointed. I think it would have been good by itself no sauce. Just a sopapilla by itself. In sauce was too much. The red sauce did not taste homemade. If it is I'm sorry but it just wasn't my cup of tea. The kids drummettes were fried and tasty. Other than that it was just another diner. We did meet others who said they frequent but knowing true Mexican food, it's a no go for me. Service was ok. Ambiance Diner feel. We met a guy who said there was a cafe town the road that he preferred I don't remember the name but at least I know I'm not the only one who did not enjoy it. He was also from Cali so there you go. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck finding good eats. SYOY

    Finally made it to the Burrito Lady Food Trailer in Chinle. Located on the road to the Chinle…read moreHospital. Easy to locate now based upon the trailer. Had a very good roast mutton sandwich on fry bread with lettuce, tomato, green onion and chili slice. The mutton strips were cooked on a grill. The fry bread was freshly made. Excellent flavors. The mutton was not as tender as others I have had but all good. There are no tables or chairs so it is tailgate time. Visited by many locals. You need pay correct cash. Will stop by again when in the area.

    It was lunch time on Thursday, and we are in Chinle, Arizona. So my brother in law ask me, 'what…read moreare you up for lunch?, so I answered, 'let go to the Burrito Lady'. So we took a drive to the road that takes you to the Chinle Hospital. Just as you turn at the light, just to your right is a small food truck like place where the Burrito Lady has her business. We walk up to the trailer, looked at the menu that sits right next to where you order. I saw the Roasted Mutton Sandwich, so we both ordered it. She asked us if we wanted it on a tortilla and fry bread, so we both said fry bread, and ordered our drink as well. The Roasted Mutton Sandwich is comes folded like a taco on Indian fry bread, stuffed with the Roasted Mutton, long slices of green chili, green onion, and tomato. What made this sandwich taste so good is the flavor of the Roasted Mutton, and of course the Indian fry bread. For those of you that have never had Mutton, you have to understand that it is fully cooked, and is an acquired taste. I first had Mutton in Tuba City at their daily swap meet at noon. It was grilled and was filled with similar like this one in Chinle. The way they cook it makes it real tasty. This is my story on my special lunch in Chinle. Hope some day you have an eating experience like mine.

    I have been in the area for over a week now and I have eaten here twice. My niece brought me here…read moreand I have to say it's really a great place. First visit I had the bbq ribs with a baked potato and it came with a side of what looked like an attempt at refried beans with a squirt of bbq sauce in it. It was pretty good. Today we went in because their burgers look amazing. As you walk in they're cooking everything right there to your left as you go in. You order your food off the menu before you sit down and they bring it to you. As well as your drink order. One problem right of the bat is the plexiglass they have in front of the person talking your order. Preventing them from hearing anything. They're struggling to hear what people are saying. Today I ordered onion rings with my burger and I got French fries instead. The guy just didn't hear what I said. Luckily I didn't get charged for it. I ordered the Papa Burger with pepper jack cheese and bacon. That was one hell of a burger. The fixins are on a cart as you go to your seat. Where you can add what you want to your burger. The only gripe I think I can say about this place is that you have to ask for napkins. Both times I've been in I've had to ask. As well as silverware. But the staff is very friendly and helpful. So it's not a deal breaker. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here a few times a week. I'd love to try their breakfast. But overall this place is pretty awesome. Definitely worth a try.

    Just okay. We stopped here while on our Route 66 trip because it had an overall 4 star review…read morerate. I had the southwest philly cheese steak sandwich and fries. The fries were good but the meat on the sandwich was overcooked and super chewy but dry. My sidekick had the fish and fries and some kind of soup. The fish pieces were a generous portion with light breading. It was a quick stop and the staff was friendly so that was a bright spot. The decor had that fun old school diner/cafe vibe one would expect out on The Mother Road.
