We came a little after noon and they already sold out of 2 items on the menu. The best dishes are the burger and grilled lamb. We like the fry bread! The mutton and dumpling is very bland, they just don't put salt in so you have to add it yourself. It also has a very strong lamb smell. It comes with a fry bread too. Fry bread burger is like a normal burger but with fry bread instead of normal bun. The grilled lamb is well seasoned, but I'm not a big fan of boiled potato. Taco has beans and minced meat, with lettuce, onion, tomato, cheese. You can add sour cream. It is better to add some salt on the taco as well. It's nice that each dish comes with a soft drink. read more

5 stars is not enough for this place. This place is real authentic, handmade fry bread. It is not fancy, just an emphasis on real fresh made food. The people couldn't have been nicer or made you feel more like a guest then a customer. We were checked on a couple of times, asked about where we were from and traveling to. The star of the show here though is definitely the food. It is the Arizona equivalent of street tacos back home. Made the same way for generations. read more

We wanted to support a local Native-owned businesses and this place popped up on our search. The family was super sweet and the food was fresh! We were on the hunt for frybread and this place was great! It was right off highway 89 in literally a small shack. They had places for people to sit and eat outside. We wanted to try their stew but they were sold out. Next time! The orders came with a drink. We could barely finish one frybread. It was filling! We definitely plan to come back! read more

Woooowwww! This place was truly a sight for sore eyes. We drove up to stop for lunch and so happy we did. The owners were wonderful and told us about how they started the food stand. Outdoor seating or they can pack it to Go but I recommend hanging out and chowing down. The food was incredible. Flavors perfect. They also had homemade sauces for you if you asked. Navajo taco was so good it was unreal. My man got the muttin sandwich (lamb) and he couldn't stop talking about it for how good it was. Each menu item came with a canned soda. We also go the tigers blood snow come and it was a perfect cool down treat. read more

After a morning exploring the eastern end of the Grand Canyon, I was in the mood for a little snack, and the Yummy Shack was a sight for sore eyes. Originally, I had planned on just getting an order of frybread, but something about the mutton sandwich was calling my name. So I placed my order, waited at one of the few tables under a tent, and a few minutes later, was greeted with my order. I've eaten a lot of great sandwiches, but the mutton sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. Frybread made to order, tasty mutton, tender potatoes, corn, and a nice hatch chile. At $17 for a sandwich and drink, prices are on the pricier side for takeout, but the size of the sandwich was huge and it was tastier than many (more expensive) restaurant meals I have eaten. Certainly better than anything inside the park for a similar price. If not for being full, I'd have ordered another sandwich, it was that good. The shack literally is just that- a shack on the east side of 89 in Cameron. A large dirt lot provides plenty of parking and there are about half a dozen picnic tables under a tent next to the shack. Service is quite friendly, and reasonably fast given the size of the operation. Would I return? In a heartbeat. read more

This place is a gem. HWY 89 YUMMY SHACK has amazing fry bread and the whole stop feels like a unique roadside experience (in the best way). The people working there were super friendly and helpful, and everything we had was genuinely tasty. Heads up: it's a roadside stand and you'll be eating outside, so plan for that--but it's absolutely worth pulling over for. read more

Be extra careful not to miss this spot, as it's easy to overlook! We loved the chance to eat locally, and the service was incredibly attentive. We tried the Navajo Burger and the Navajo Taco, which were unique and different from what we expected. Everything is made with their signature fried bread, so we were super happy to have the opportunity to try something authentic and support a local business. The prices are affordable, and they even include a soft drink. We're thrilled we made this stop! read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this local food restaurant. We're traveling as a family and wanted to look for some really authentic local food. We stumbled into this place and or more than pleased by what it. The food is amazing really recommend the fright Dough. The view is amazing and it is run by the local people as well. One caution note we saw some other look alike place also called Highway 89 shack. Please make sure you know this is the authentic. read more

Great meal after a long day of hiking! Also fantastic serving--would go again if I'm ever in the area.

Amazing little stop. Fantastic Navajo burgers and tacos. The Navajo bread is delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The food is a little pricey but soooo good. The food is fresh (literally the fry bread is prepared right in front of you). The service was quick and the ambiance is amazing. It's a small business, run in the middle of nowhere by some very lovely Navajo women. If you are looking to experience great Navajo tacos, made fresh and meet some wonderful people, well, they don't charge enough for the food. read more

Great stop. Great food. I was hesitant to have more fry bread, but theirs is different and delicious. Family owned and run and they were wonderful. Don't miss this treasure read more

Definitely a must go! Food was excellent! Service was fast. Staff is are a local family who were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very inviting. Will be back every time we are in the area. read more

OMG - I had the grilled lamb sandwich. It was soooo good. Lamb was savory - tender, thick, not greasy. Generous portion. Loved that I could eat the whole meal with my hands. I dipped the fry bread, lamb pieces, baby potatoes, and grilled chili in their picante sauce - delicious. My first time eating Navajo food. The people were chill - calm, warm, friendly vibe. We were visiting from Los Angeles. Not your run-of-the-mill restaurant. Outdoor seating was perfect for dining with our dog. Any time we are in this area I want to go to Highway 89Yummy Shack! read more

This is THE place for Navajo frybread! (or is that "fry bread") Wonderful local food and friendly, welcoming people! We had the Mutton Sandwich (the meat was super tender with good flavor), a Navajo Taco (almost too big and messy to eat, but that's ideal, IMO), and some plain fry bread with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and honey. Everything was good and cold soft drink cans or bottled water came with the meal. We stopped here between Flagstaff and the East entrance of the Grand Canyon National Park. (If you arrive via Amtrak and want to see the Watchtower and overlooks on the way to the Grand Canyon Village/Visitors' Center, this is the best route). To get to the Yummy Shack, go past the round-a-bout and the big restaurant (a local told us the restaurant is fine, but the frybread is not as authentic--not stretched by hand) and look for a hand made sign at a dirt pull off on the right. If you are city folk, don't let this little rustic shack put you off. This is good authentic food. Think of it like a food stall at the Fair. The people were bright, sunny, and welcoming. If you have any questions about the food, the cultural significance of the menu, or how to eat it, they can help you out. I am not exaggerating when I say that this little shed with local food was one of the highlights of our Grand Canyon trip. It was a good local touchstone outside the Park. Oh, one thing to add: The frybread had a richness and hints of an earthy flavor to it (which I really liked-it had a "roundness" in the flavor profile) which I suspect came from frying it in tallow. So, if you are vegetarian, you should probably ask about the oil mix. read more

Navajo home cooking, of the sort that in Flagstaff is only available through Facebook groups. Where else can you get this? Careful if you're using GPS directions--Google said it was further north than it actually was, so I had to make 2 u-turns. Look carefully for the single roadside sign ~100 feet before the turn. Dumpling Stew: rich herby broth, and dumplings were clearly handmade. Maybe a bit chewier/stickier than I'd like but very fresh. Fry bread was also straight out of the fryer--my only complaint would be that it got cold because I was eating outside! read more

Amazing food, with even more amazing people. The pin on yelp was a little off. They are just north of the round-about

Yummy Navajo fry bread tacos! The lightest fluffy fry bread. Friendly people and great food. We shared a Navajo taco since they are big. You get a drink with an entree. Cooler full of sodas and water to pick from. Noticed a few negative reviews. What city snobs not liking the shack and coolers. The best food in a great hole in the wall place. They don't know what they are missing. We came back after 2 days since we were evacuated from the GC north rim fire and were very happy to return! read more

My 3 kids devoured 2 classic Navajo tacos and 1 bowl of dumpling stew which I would label as excellent comfort food. We don't eat mutton or lamb often, but my picky 6yo raved about the stew and asked if he could have a To-Go container for the small amount he had left. The portions are more than generous and came with a choice of canned soda. The owners are warm and friendly and the service excellent. We definitely plan on returning when we visit this area again. read more

We were recommended to this local eatery by an employee at the Cameron Trading post (no names mentioned as I don't want that person to get in trouble not recommending the post restaurant) and I am so glad I did. Not quite hungry enough for lunch, but my taste buds have been craving fry bread since my last visit in 2018, it's not something that is on many menus in Michigan. This was fresh, hot, full of good nocks and crannies for the honey to mix with the cinnamon, just so good! Ladies, thanks for a great experience and I hope to see you on my next visit into your beautiful area! Hope you love your little gifts from your Detroit friends. read more

this place was a great hole in the wall. they are kind people and I felt a real family working together feel. it's not obviously not a restaurant but it's a cool experience and the food is good. we tried each of the four available options at the time. the burger was good. loved the veggies in the food but the bread is what makes it Navajo unique! the bread is so good. one of the cooks even gave us free bread, God bless them! the bread is almost like the fair food but not as sweet... which is good. But you could also put on honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon on their bread. kind of a mix between funnel cake and elephant ears from a fair. the bread is so good! you might want to bring wet wipes when coming for your own convenience... I didn't see a bathroom but I didn't really look either. If they don't have a bathroom then there's a gift shop pretty by close but you have to drive. I would definitely recommend a stop by to experience it and help a sweet family out. God bless them, the family, and the peoples. read more

Decidedly not yummy. One taco and soft drink are 17 bucks so a little overpriced in my book. The only topping option was a very bland chili with little to no meat and no flavoring. No hot sauce was available as a condiment and no salsa. read more

This was truly a unique and authentic experience. As we drove up we saw that this place really was a hole-in-the-wall shack. We walked up and were greeted by two very nice gentlemen who took our order of Navajo tacos and a Mutton sandwich. The service was very quick with only about a five minute wait time, and tables were well shaded. The tacos were great, and the mutton was okay. However, the thing that stood out the most was the absolutely delicious bread that the meals came on top of. It was soft and fluffy and tasted amazing, really upping the level of the food. The plain flatbread topped with powdered sugar was a really tasty desert and a great way to finish off our meal. read more

I went in through the east entrance of the Grand Canyon recently, to experience a less touristy section of the park, and to be able to drive through part of the Navajo nation on the way there. This roadside restaurant was humble. The woman cooking made you feel like family, and her food was filled with love. I got a fry bread taco, and tried mutton and dumpling stew for the first time. It was such a simple meal, but one that I'll drive out of my way for if I'm ever in the area again. read more

If you want authentic Navajo food, give it a try. We drove from Flagstaff specifically to try their food. We had Navajo tacos and roast mutton. Both were very good, though I wish there had been an option of mutton or beef for the tacos - and maybe a little more spice! These folks have turned an old jewelry stand into an outdoor restaurant. If you're picky about ambiance and hygiene, don't bother. Also, there may be a local dog or two hanging out for a handout. If this is up your alley (and it is mine), then stop by! We loved it, and wish them well in this endeavor! read more
