    Love Jacob's Lake restaurant! They always have just what you're hungry for after a long canyon hike or road trip in. The staff is always friendly and everything is cooked fresh. Of course you have to try one of their cookies on the way out. Chocolate parfait is the best!

    Love this quaint restaurant. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cookies are delicious. Wait, the food and pies are delicious too! We enjoyed our dinner at the counter with Celeste as our server (7/12/26). Her fav is the Peach iced tea and it's mine now too. Highly recommend stopping by to check out the gift shop too. Lots of great merchandise. If we weren't sure you should stop in, this is our recommendation to stop. You won't regret it. And be sure to get more than 2 cookies - cause if you don't you'll need to turn around and get more.

    This is my first stop to Jacob's lake Inn restaurant. I've heard about these cookies from family members who've been here before. They have quite a selection of cookies. My husband had the peanut butter cookie and he thought it was really pretty good. I had the raspberry lemon cookie and felt it was a little bit dry. There were lots of snacks and I don't think the restaurant was open that day. This is a good spot to stop at if you are coming off the north rim and are looking for some thing to eat. I think they are closed during the winter months so just be aware of that. I will see you the next time I'm coming through.

    Embarking on an adventure at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, I needed accommodation for a morning mule ride. Upon arrival at the inn, the entrance was bustling and somewhat disorganized, with guests purchasing cookies, store items, and ice cream. To check in, one had to navigate to the far left through the crowd, which was challenging due to the lines crisscrossing in every direction. However, once the more assertive guests had their needs met, I found the process straightforward. After an easy check-in, I grabbed some cookies before heading to my cabin, indulging in two of them en route to the restaurant. The S'mores and Snickerdoodle were exceptional, especially the S'mores. Despite a wait, being seated at a window table was a delight. I perused the menu and chose the Herb Mayonnaise Chicken Sandwich with fries. It was served promptly and proved to be quite tasty.

    I'm guessing that this place is usually hopping during warm weather, but at this time there was not much happening and even the coffee dispenser wasn't working. I stopped here for the legendary cookies which weren't very legendary. I had the edges only of a chocolate chip and an oatmeal raisin...meh. However, I loved sitting near the roaring fire.

    Yummy cookies.

    This review is for the homemade baked goods. We were so surprised to find the professionally made muffins, cookies, and turnovers. I have driven by the Jacob Lake store countless times over the years and never stopped. What a mistake. This family run operation is super friendly and the cookies are fantastic. I loved my blueberry turnover.

    Jacob Lake Inn - Chocolate Parfait Cookie

    We stopped by Jacob Lake Inn on the way to Kanab after hearing about their famous cookies. This was…read moreon a Sunday in mid April and it wasn't crowded at all, with perhaps only another 5 parties or so in the store. Since our visit was during the off season, they unfortunately only had four types of cookies to choose from - apparently during the summer they have 16 different varieties! While we didn't have that amazing selection, the employee did tell us that they cookies in the tray were less than an hour from the oven! We ended up trying one of each (4 for $8.46): Chocolate Chip Cookie - This cookie has a golden brown ring around the edge and the bottom. It has a delicate crunch along the more well baked portions, but the interior remains soft and gooey. Especially the semisweet chocolate chips, which at only an hour after removal from heat, are still melty. The center of the cookie tastes under baked like raw flour with a somewhat granular and sandy texture. Chocolate Parfait - This is a tall cookie that doesn't seem to spread. It looks more like a small scone or biscuit to be honest. It's quite wan in color, so there's no particular baked crust. Instead, the entire thing is soft and tender, but it's not under baked like the chocolate chip cookie since it all tastes baked through. It's absolutely stuffed with large pieces of Belgian milk chocolate, and like the other cookie, the chocolate is still melted and gooey. Oatmeal Raisin - This cookie has the hardest bake with a darker golden brown bottom creating a great crunch. It's otherwise filled with oats and studded with plenty of sweet raisins. Snickerdoodle - This cookie is surprisingly yellow in color. It has the same chewy and tender texture throughout and tastes like a sugar cookie with cinnamon. I do have to say that all the cookies were super sweet. So sweet I had to drink an entire bottle of water afterwards. I drank more water after the cookies than a 5 miles hike the previous day. Way too sweet for my tastes, but I'm sure most people will be okay with that! Bathrooms - Two larger ones with multiple stalls

For breakfast the wait was a little shorter, but none of us thought it was very good. The eggs tasted off, the potato scramble was very heavy on the potato and didn't look to have any egg in it. The bread was touted as homemade but one of us got burnt bread and it was a tiny piece that sort of broke apart as you tried to eat it. One of us asked for another slice and we were charged another $3-4. We tried two of the cookies and thought they were okay. They are the only place around so it there or bring your own.

    Such a cute lil place with killer food. I wish I could go all the time!…read more The staff is very young & I will admit - they somehow messed up every single one of our orders in at least one way. It was almost charming. They got away with it because they were kind & the food was that bomb. VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE ALERT! I got the "popper" grilled cheese (jalapeño cream cheese, cheddar, red pepper flakes) on gluten-free bread with added bacon. I also got a tomato basil soup & a gluten-free s'mores cookie. Bomb, bomb, bomb, BOMB! So comforting & delicious, at a totally reasonable price point. I would go way out of my way to come back here again!

    My sister and I were traveling for our birthday when we stopped by the Brown Box. Upon looking at…read morethe menu, we realized that they only serve grilled cheese. Which is delicious, but not what we were looking for at the time. We place our order at the register, and immediately the young woman ran to the back and started talking loudly about us with her coworker, saying "How stupid do you have to be to come here and not know we serve grilled cheese? It says it outside." I immediately looked around because it doesn't have any description of what they serve outside. I was truly appalled and upset by the customer service here. I've worked a job or two and I know how to complain about a customer, and you just don't do it when they're still within earshot. If their employees learn nothing else from this review, I hope that they learn how be rude and uncouth quietly. The lack of professionalism from these two young women will be the reason I do not return to this establishment. The disrespect was not worth my coins.
