    Smokey Old Fashioned
    Lola G.

    The Grand Canyon Brewery was definitely a fun vibe. There were tons of TVs playing sports, arcade games on the second floor, a free shuffle board, and just an overall chill atmosphere. I enjoyed one beer and their Smokey Old Fashioned. Both were excellent! The food, however, was pretty standard, average bar food. We had nachos and pizza we split as a family. It was just average. I had an amazing time but the service was lacking a bit the night we went (waiter forgot my side of broccoli, it was hard to flag down a waiter for a second round of drinks, the soda machines ran out of ice, etc.) But even with the slight challenges, I had a blast browsing their merchandise store in the front, and even left with a few shirts.

    My husband and I usually find ourselves stopping into GCB for beers after days of hiking around Grand Canyon National Park, but this most recent time we decided to have dinner here after the Williams 100 Year Centennial car show for Route 66; although we did go to GC NP the next day :) I really love the atmosphere inside; feels almost like we're at a restaurant inside Disney. The big fireplace and water stream make it feel so cozy. As we usually do, we saddled up at the bar. Service was okay; bartender seemed tired and wasn't overly friendly. He was fairly attentive though which was nice. We each ordered 2 pints of beer; Sacred Saguaro Mexican Lager, Haute Lager, Beach Camp Honey Kolsch, and the Prickly Pear IPA. If you're a craft beer enthusiast like my husband and I, you'll find their beers to be about average quality, but still hits the spot after a long day outside. For dinner, I ordered the Caprese Chicken Sandwich ($15) which was quite good with a large piece of grilled chicken and a soft bun; I'd order this again! My husband had the Beast Brat ($15) and thoroughly enjoyed it. We then ordered a basket of tater tots to share ($5) and it was a huge portion; we almost needed a 3rd person to help haha. We then ordered dessert to go - Sweet Fry Bread ($10) which curbed our sweet craving when we got back to the hotel. Overall, everything we ate was honestly very good; however, I will say for the price, the sandwiches and brats should automatically come with a side of fries or tots. For a la carte handhelds, I feel the price should have been $12 each. The sweet fry bread was also a very small portion for the price which also left us feeling a price point of $6 would've been more appropriate. Despite our small issue with the price point and so-so service, we'll be back. Can't go to Grand Canyon NP without stopping into Grand Canyon Brewing for an ice cold beer and maybe some food too.

    We stopped in after our drive from Phoenix, we were waiting for our hotel room to be ready for check in. The restaurant has a little merch store by the entrance that we checked out while waiting for our table We all enjoyed our food, I loved my taco trio. I tried one of each- grilled shrimp, fried fish and crispy cauliflower. I especially loved the crispy cauliflower and the chipotle crema! My son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza, the crust was soft and fluffy. I even enjoyed a slice. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The games upstairs kept my son busy. I would definitely come back next time we are in Williams!

    The service needs major improvements!!! Even the Uber driver taking us back to the hotel tells everyone that the service is bad!!!!! At least 3 locals said the same thing. You have to work on this because locally you are known for terrible service. That is a problem, especially when you do have a great beer selection.

    Tots, burger, chicken sandwich.
    Thuy L.

    A nice little spot if you're in the area visiting the canyon. Staff was very nice. Vibe is cool, very relaxed and sports-bar esque in a refurbished dairy barn. Burger and chicken sandwich were pretty standard fare, but hit the spot after a day of hiking. Tots were plentiful and crunchy and there's also WiFi, which was great as I needed to get a little work done! Cocktail was not my favorite, got a mule with prickly pear but it seemed pretty bitter and had an odd flavor. Good prices, solid little spot.

    This was the first stop once we got to williams on our little family trip. It was delicious! The service was great and friendly, they made great suggestions on which beers to try while we waiting for the rest of the party to show up. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting and vibey.

    Hard to review as I came to check out the moonshine, but stayed for an amber ale that was perfect blend of tasteful flavorful and smooth. Bartenders were cool and I liked the atmosphere. Their souvenirs are really nice but expensive. I happen to buy a button up desert themed shirt with cactus and beer cans. I thought it was cool.

    This is our send time here. We loved it the first time. There's plenty of parking. You have a gift shop at the entrance. Everything is Grand Canyon Brewery. This time we started with the cheese curds. They were served with a side of marinara and ranch. They were a bit greasy for my personal taste. We also had the supreme pizza, and calzone. Those were both great like last time. This time we also tried the Saturday night special which was a bbq brisket sandwich. It was really good, but it was tiny for $25. The restrooms are upstairs. Don't get lost looking for them.

    What an incredible place!

    As of today, October 27, 2025, this location of Grand Canyon Brewery & Distillery only has 3.5 stars on Yelp and I can confidently say that rating is NOT ACCURATE. My husband and I had lunch here on Saturday, October 25, after scouring Yelp and Google for the best food in Williams, Arizona. The photos looked promising, so despite the 3.5-star average, we decided to give it a shot and wow, are we glad we did! Here's what we discovered,... Not only is the parking lot massive, easily accommodating cars, trucks, and RVs, but the property includes several buildings. One is the restaurant where we dined, and we learned they brew their beer in-house. Another building, labeled "RICKHOUSE DISTILLERY," produces a variety of spirits. We were told they rotate their house-brewed beers and distilled liquors seasonally, while also bringing back fan favorites (Core Beers). The Distillery also offers tastings and tours, and you can purchase alcohol to take home. We noticed a few other buildings on-site and asked about them--turns out, they offer rooms for rent, including a small house listed as an Airbnb! The restaurant itself is a blast. The exterior looks like a giant half beer barrel, super fun and eye-catching. There's a great outdoor patio with string lights for evening ambiance and big red umbrellas for daytime shade. Inside, the layout is well thought out. A small gift shop greets you at the entrance, stocked with branded merch like apparel, mugs, koozies, and all kinds of beer glasses. They even sell growlers so you can take home your favorite brew. After passing the gift shop (and restrooms), you cross a small wooden pedestrian bridge flanked by taxidermied critters. Beneath the bridge is a shallow pool, filled with tossed coins for good luck, leading into the main dining room. Upstairs? An arcade! It's not huge, but it's just right--featuring a few claw machines, two pinball tables, and two neon-colored motorcycle games. The space would be perfect for a private party or just a chill hangout. We loved it. Now, let's talk food & drinks,... On Saturday, our first visit, we had an incredible meal. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($18) with Onion Rings as my side (+$3). It was one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had--lean meat, a BBQ sauce that was just the right balance of tangy and not-too-sweet, all on a toasted brioche bun with coleslaw and a single onion ring on top.(Yummmmmmmmm!) A crisp pickle rounded it out. My husband had the Saturday Special: the Beef Brisket Sandwich (around $23). It came piled high with tender, melt-in-your-mouth brisket on a toasted brioche bun. He could barely speak during the meal. He just kept saying, "Oh my God, this is so f**king delicious!" He upgraded to the Sweet Potato Waffle Fries (+$3), which were soft yet crispy, flavorful, and perfectly fried. (Side Note: All the fried food tasted like it was cooked in fresh oil. We thank you!) His sandwich was topped with a fried pickle that was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Of course, being a brewery and distillery, we had to sample the drinks! We started with the 'Prickly Pear IPA', one of their core beers. (ABV 6.8% / IBU 50) Absolutely stunning in color, with a definitive flavor of,... You guessed it! Prickly Pear! The description on the menu was spot on. "A West Coast IPA with the added flavor of Prickly Pear Puree,..." This instantly became both of our NEW FAVORITE beers! Next, we tried "Brew 42" from their Special Release Collection, an Irish Red Ale (ABV 5.4% / IBU 15). It was delicious, though we both preferred the Prickly Pear IPA. We loved this place so much, we came back for dinner on Sunday, October 26, to try more. Since the fried pickle on my husband's brisket sandwich was so good, we ordered the Fried Pickles appetizer ($13)--a half-pound of breaded pickle spears that disappeared almost as quickly as they arrived. We were both craving burgers, so we each got a Canyon Cheeseburger. These were generously sized, each with a 1/2 lb Angus beef patty on a toasted brioche bun, topped with lettuce, fresh tomato, onion (which we left out) our choice of cheese, and a pickle spear. Fries were included as well. And yes, we had a few (more) rounds of Prickly Pear IPA! In fact, we loved that beer so much, we stopped by again this morning to stock up. We brought our cooler to the gift shop and loaded it with as many six-packs as we could fit. (Note: They don't stock warm beer. Beer offered for sale is sold COLD.) You can tell how much the staff and owners care about this place. The attention to detail didn't go unnoticed. We actually said we'd come back to Williams just to eat and hang out here again. And yes, I'm definitely coming back for a rematch on that motorcycle game in the upstairs arcade!

    Coffee bar

    Was open at 8am when we came in as the Tesla was getting charged at the supercharger in the next lot. We came in for restroom stop and ordered Java at the coffee bar. Excellent rest stop on our road trip!

    Food was great, ambiance relaxed and pleasant, service was friendly and very attentive. We had tons of questions about the in house booze and were offered a few samples which led to us buying a bunch of bottles to take home as gifts. Just a great, friendly place.

    Cheeseburger
    Mini H.

    Very cool place and vibe but the food didn't match the atmosphere. Ordered the cheeseburger with crispy bacon. The bacon was barely cooked and the burger didn't have much flavor at all no sauce or anything on it. The Route 66 IPA Beer was good. Probably one and done for us.

    This is a fun brewery to visit. It has that cabin feel that makes it like you're out in the woods and not in a small town. It has an arcade and bar upstairs too. I loved seeing it all decked out for the holidays. My husband had the pub sausage with a fried egg and sweet potatoes with his beer flight. I had a custom pizza with my beer flight. Prickly pear is the state fruit, so if you can get something with prickly pear in Arizona, I definitely recommend it. The service was okay. She wasn't exactly personable, but she did get our orders correct. We can only imagine how fun watching football games in here would be. The place is a vibe.

The servers were nice both times we came (once for breakfast and once for dinner), though things seemed hectic since we arrived pretty close to opening time for dinner. Despite having a reservation, it seemed like a surprise that we showed up just as they were opening. We'd have been *very* happy to eat later, but could not book a reservation for any later, so we assumed that it would be crowded due to the holiday weekend. However, I'm sure the place was not going to get that busy in 90 minutes -- we were the only non-bar customers for almost an hour. It must be some sort of policy to only accept online reservations for specific times. Or, maybe that was the case for the weekend we were in town. After the breakfast that was just OK, I decided not to spend the money on a steak for dinner. The pan fried chicken was good, though the up charge to swap out the collard greens for fries was quite a lot ($4, I think) given that both are the same cost on the sides menu. Maybe the steaks are amazing and I missed out, but there are less expensive, though less fancy, options not too far away. That said, the bar area was pretty full by the time we finished dinner, so maybe that's the way to go.

It's got character without being too rough. The prices are what you'd expect for a sit-down spot (a bit more than you'd like for diner fare), but the food delivers: hearty, tasty portions that actually fill you up. I couldn't finish the nachos. Don't skip the lava cake -- it's rich, warm, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend! Our waitress was genuinely friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. But here's the eh best part: she handed us our cups with a big smile and said, "Y'all get whatever you want from the soda fountain -- Coke, lemonade, water, or whatever." The way she said it made it feel like it was included with the meal. I usually stick with water, but I went for a Sprite instead... and yep, it turned out to be extra. Fool me once, shame on me -- but honestly, it was still a fun, generous touch that made the whole experience feel welcoming. Reminded of of Flo from Mel's Diner (Xers will get that reference) It's attached to a fun little gift shop packed with Route 66 souvenirs and trinkets. Perfect for grabbing a memento after your meal. If you're cruising the historic highway, this is a solid, satisfying stop. Good food, friendly service, and that old-school roadside charm -- definitely worth pulling in!

I asked for coffee and she handed me a menu and she asked if I knew what I wanted to eat. I said I needed some time to look at the menu and she frowned and walked away without saying a word. It was obvious she thought I was going to be there a while and didn't want me sitting at the table long. She returned with the coffee and said "You know if it gets busy...." leaving the sentence hanging. I replied I would leave if it did (the restaurant only had maybe 3 tables full at that point, by the time I left at 640 there were two tables empty). After eating the food, which was quite good, I promptly packed up and left as soon as I could 25 minutes after being seated. I walked down to Brewed Awakenings, got a coffee there and sat down at my computer to do some work. In a small restaurant I totally understand that you need to keep tables moving so there is not a wait, but there is a polite and subtle way to message to a patron that they need to move along so other folks can sit down. You can deliver the check early, ask if you are finished, ask if there is anything else you need. Ways to communicate to a patron that they need the table. This was certainly not it. I eat out often, I tip very well, but I have to say this is the first time I felt unwelcome and rushed at a place in a very, very long time. While the food was good, this was not the way to start off day 2 of my roadtrip. In today's economy, making your customers feel like they need to eat and run, and doing so in a rude way, is a master class in how to make your restaurant fail. I do not recommend this place.
