    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Cool spot, nice ambiance, good food and service. A must stop if you are in Williams. Buffalo cauliflower could have been a little crispier but otherwise really good flavor. Check out their daily happy hour.

    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.

    This is my fav and go to spot while I work in Williams. The service is always great so ask for David the fantastic server extraordinaire or dynamic bartending duo Cisco & Jacob. Can't forget about the awesome boss lady Cynthia who will take care of you like family. They have a shuffle board game, pool table and arcade upstairs. Great vibes there. My favorite and must have is a Prickly pear wheat in house brew. I also recommend you order a pizza but with cauliflower dough as it is light and crispy. The meat lovers is a great toppings choice. The wings are great as well but order them naked with the 3 sauces on the side. You won't regret it. Their burgers and chicken sandwiches are great too. There is nothing on the menu I haven't had. It is ALL good! Also got to have the churros for dessert. Don't forget to check out their souvenir shop.

    Nobody at the host stand, seat your self. Seems like a good bar that just doesn't live up to its potential. They forgot the sausage in my pasta, when I tried to alert the staff that my food was incorrect everyone seemed to do everything in their power avoid me (especially the blonde male food runner with the glasses, who I also heard complain about other guests.) The bartender was nice but it took about 5 minutes before we were even greeted with menus. While this bar is large with TVs, a pool table, and outdoor seating the vibe is so unwelcoming from the start.

    The Food is Great, But the Front-of-House Service is Totally Lost I placed an online to-go order here, and honestly, the food itself was very good and hit the spot back at the hotel. However, the takeout pickup experience was an absolute circus. When I walked in, the host didn't greet me at all and honestly looked like he was trying to hide in the corner. I eventually had to walk up to the bar just to ask where online orders were handled. When I went back to the host stand and told him I had a pickup, he looked completely confused and I had to repeat my entire order back to him. Once I got back to my hotel, I realized they missed the extra ranch I paid for, and completely ignored the request for plates, utensils, and napkins. I actually drove back to get the missing items, and the host looked completely baffled as to why I was asking for them. He brought over a server, who looked equally confused. It felt like nobody was home behind the eyes at the front desk. Go for the food, but double-check your bag before you leave because the staff won't.

    Came here with a group of for my friends bachelorette. It was such a fun vibe on the interior. Food was classic style pub options but the beer was the star of the show. I was obsessed with the prickly pear ipa. Service was friendly and prompt as well. Highly recommend

    Sooo many cold brews on tap
    Darci M.

    When you think of Route 66 and supporting this little town you must come by here and get your wittle whistle wet by their custom handmade goodness! They are making it all with care, quality and goodness- food is pumping out of the kitchen, family friendly and just some great vibes- we will be back for sure

    Food was great but the service was terrible. Slow. Atmosphere was good. But the service pretty much undermined everything.

The space still has that nice rustic charm with plenty of seating inside and outside on their nice patio. Ordering, however, has changed. Beers, cocktails, nonalcoholic beverages, cans to-go, and food is all ordered up at the bar. There was 1 lone employee working the bar; taking orders, pouring beers, mixing cocktails, and closing people out at the register. This was so incredibly inefficient, particularly on such a busy day. I stood in line 3 separate times (once to initially order two pints, a second time to order a flight of other beers we wanted to taste, and a final time to purchase two cans to-go and close out my tab); each time in line took between 15-25 minutes. The girl behind the bar was very friendly and she was working as quickly as possible while maintaining a relatively happy attitude, but boy did I feel bad for her. Management really messed this up; someone needed to step in and help. With such a big celebration in town that day, there needed to be a minimum of 3 employees manning the bar to take orders and get drinks. As for the beer itself, as usual it's just average. Great if you're looking for something cold to enjoy, but not memorable if you're a craft beer nerd. We went in knowing what the quality would be, but still wanted to try all the new beers since we hadn't been in a couple of years. We didn't eat while there, but in the past when we have, the food is good. The knock of two stars was simply for the horrible management of orders. I don't know when they decided to get rid of waiters and put all the pressure onto the bartender, but geez what an awful decision that was.

For dinner we'd need one each, but for lunch splitting it was perfect. Great flavor top to bottom. The paper thin crust, the tangy sauce, and good quality cheese topped with a generous amount of fresh basil. Bonus for the red hot sauce (green tasted artificial) which I grabbed a spoon to taste with as soon as we sat down, I love hot sauce. And for the classic rock playlist.

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.
