I had head the views here were amazing and as an absolute aviation nerd it was a must! That being said I was not disappointed! The views were spectacular, especially on the drive down (sunset). But all around us was beautiful scenery and beautiful airplanes which only make things better! The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp ceviche (sorry I forgot to take a photo) but it was great to share- so fresh! A little juicy but still so yumm! The food was all so good and any of the other dishes we saw come out also looked tasty! The fish and chips was a top choice for my mom, who Loves this dish! The fries are unique shaped and SO good! I had the blackened salmon ceasar, The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked with such flavor and not dry (a common issue I often find with salmon on salads especially) My aunt had never ordered kale, but I think she may start after loving the kasalad! Service is as pretty standard. Our server wasn't overly attentive but the support staff were great and ensured we had lots of water and were sweet to my daughter (baby). We all left very full, in love with the views and all members happy with the food! So I'd call that a win! read more

This place is truly a 1 star on the food. We ordered the ceviche which came with lettuce (unheard of) I've never in my life had ceviche with lettuce , and no seasoning at all no acidity, no punch nothing! The cocktails were solid the flavor was delicious and refreshing 9/10! The Coolest thing was being able to eat with our dog there, the restaurant is really nice on the eyes but the food was lackluster and definitely not recommendable which sucks because it has the potential to be better. The waiter was very polite and attentive but sadly for the price this restaurant is a HUGE let down. The food was less than mediocre. I had the "steak and frites" which came with unseasoned corn and a dash of tajin which makes absolutely no sense paired with a kbbq inspired sauce on the steak??? The 'frites' tasted like frozen air fried rally's fries. The steak was a bit unseasoned and bland like the corn (we were on the verge of sending it back but we're not those people) I think a revamp on the menu would do this restaurant well and really thinking critically on ingredients / quality and pairings of proteins. read more

This is hands down the worst meal that I have ever had, ever. I actually feel obligated to warn people away from this restaurant. Even the cocktails were bad. But the food? Awful. We left both of our meals 3/4 uneaten. We had the calamari as an appetizer- it was soggy, but that wasn't the problem tbh- it was the other two dishes we ordered: the southwest pasta tasted bad. How do you screw up pasta? The description of the dish sounds delish, pasta, mushrooms, chicken, spinach in a tomato cream sauce, it was horrible. Something must have been spoiled in the above listed ingredients to have it taste that way. I had ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as my main and it tasted reheated. The Paloma and Smoky peach margarita had way too much alcohol and also had zero flavor, we asked for them to be removed from our bill because we could not drink them. You can enjoy sunset without eating here as there is a lookout. Save yourself the waste of money and don't eat here. We literally left the Mesa Grill and had to go grab food elsewhere. This place is a tourist trap. read more

Incredible atmosphere! Watching the planes take off and land while eating was easily the highlight of our visit. Our food was exceptionally good, the crispy trout and the creamy shrimp dish were both delicious, and the double chocolate mousse cake was the perfect ending. The only downside is the 3% credit card surcharge applied after sales tax. On the plus side, restaurant parking is free, saving us a $3 airport parking fee. Highly recommend for the food and the runway views! read more

Cute little spot. Went for dad's birthday and brought the kids and was so great and patient with my 5 year old. Got seated right away (with a reservation) and the service was great... perfectly paced out. Food was good... would have liked a little more Bbq sauce with the ribs but the meat fell effortlessly off the bone and very juicy. Fish was good but the mashed potatoes were dynamite. Cute spot for sure read more

The food was amazing as was the view. They have an outdoor patio or indoor dining. We had Fish and Chips which were delicious; I had the Huevos Rancheros which were also delicious. The Burger with fries and the Chicken salad croissant were also excellent. Took food with us and will definitely go back. Great food at a meager price for ambiance and excellence. A touch over $100 for five full meals with to go. Good value. The server was very friendly, happy and helpful. read more

My wife and I had a late lunch today. Easy parking. Restaurant was clean and everyone was friendly....plus great view. Our server Kiai was so good, I will ask for him when we go back. My wife said the grilled turkey wrap was the best sandwich she ever had. She also loved her side salad that was filled with fruit and candied nuts. I loved the Fish N Chips. It was quickly served hot and delicious. It was plenty so we even took home leftovers. Great food for a reasonable price. Hope you land here soon. read more

We met my sister-in-law and nephew here for brunch, and it was an unforgettable experience. My nephew is a new pilot getting his hours in, so he actually flew in from Chandler to meet us! Even the drive up to the edge of Sedona is picturesque, but Mesa Grill has to be one of the best local airport restaurants in the entire country. The Vibe: Floor-to-Ceiling Views & Aviation It was a busy brunch hour, but our reserved table was ready right on time, and the service was prompt and attentive throughout. Due to chilly temps, we opted to sit inside. Thankfully, the dining room features massive floor-to-ceiling windows, so we still had incredible, unobstructed views of the surrounding area and the runway. The absolute highlight of the atmosphere was getting to walk out to the tarmac after our meal to see my nephew's plane, say our goodbyes, and watch him take off. So cool! Drinks & Brunch * Hibiscus Sun Tea (4.5/5): I skipped the coffee and opted for this instead. It was vibrant, incredibly refreshing, and I strongly recommend giving it a try. * Huevos Rancheros (4.75/5): This might be the best I've ever had--at the very least, it's the best I can remember. The chile is rich and deeply flavorful, the pulled pork is executed perfectly, and the borracho beans tie it all together beautifully. * Elote Corn & Green Chili Grits (4.5/5): We ordered this as a side for the table to share. It was a unique, slightly spicy take on grits, and we were all in. It ended up being a ton of food combined with our entrees, but we had to try it, and it was completely worth it. Tip: Make a reservation in advance, as they get busy! Request a table by the windows if it's too cold for the patio, and don't sleep on the Hibiscus Sun Tea or the green chili grits. read more

1 star -- and honestly, I think that's still too generous. September 21, 2026 Terrible experience at Mesa Grill. The food was bad, the drinks were also disappointing, and the service made the experience even worse. The worst part happened at the end. My friend ordered another drink, and we were still actively consuming. Her glass was still full when a woman came to our table and asked what time we were going to leave, saying that each table is limited to only two hours. If there is a two-hour time limit, the customer should be informed when they arrive. It makes absolutely no sense to let customers sit down, order, and continue consuming, only to pressure them to leave while they are still spending money. We simply wanted to stay a little longer, continue ordering, and enjoy the restaurant while watching the sunset. Instead, we were approached in a way that felt extremely rude, uncomfortable, and completely unprofessional. Bad food, bad drinks, and very poor customer service. This was a disappointing experience from beginning to end. I would not recommend this restaurant and I would never come back.Mesa Grill Sedona read more

My favorite meal in Sedona. While the menu is filled with relatively standard dishes (steak, simple fish, etc) they prepare everything to perfection. We started with the Hummus & Mint Tabouleh and I went with the trout. The hummus was homemade and the tabouleh on point as well. It came with a few simple fresh, sliced veggies and plenty of pita bread. The red trout was cooked perfectly and seasoned just as well. I loved the crispy skin and appreciate that it was removed from the fish and on the side in the event I had not liked it. Service was amazingly friendly. We got there a bit earlier and they were able to offer us a seating option fairly quickly. When our app arrived, the waiter noted to give him the thumbs up when we'd be ready for our mains and they would get fired up - love that so nothing sits under a heat lamb forever. Pro tip - arrive 20-30 minutes ahead of time, park in their lot, and walk back to the outlook for a few quick photos prior to heading in to eat! Enjoy! read more

We were here for dinner on a Monday night, arrived around 5:15pm, didn't think we need reservation for Monday, we walked in, and there are already bunch of people families waiting there. We registered our phone number, the lady told us the wait could be 45 mins. We said okay. So we walk outside to look at the surrounding views, when we come back around 5:40, our table is almost ready. We were grateful. Their menu is extensive, we end up ordered their shrimp ceviche as shared appetizers. It's huge and a lot of stuff. Different from the ceviche in a Mexican restaurant, but still tasteful and refreshing. I also get their chicken lotus wrap as my main course, husband got their tuna. Both came out really great. We are both satisfied. Our server is also pretty good and attentive. read more

Wow!!!! This restaurant offers stunning views of Sedona. We arrived just after sunset and were treated to the beautiful Sedona colors and scenery. We kept our food simple--burgers with an outstanding salad. My pecan old fashioned was pitch perfect. My sister's spicy margarita was tasty. The prices were reasonable and the service was professional, lively, and fun. I regret that we didn't return the next morning for brunch because the scenery was wonderful. read more

This place used to be the bomb, now it's another type of bomb. Ordered a Biscuit and Gravy breakfast which was horrible (used to be awesome). Biscuit was hard as a rock and the inside was uncooked dough! The potatoes were obviously frozen and reheated.

As often as I have been in Sedona I don't remember ever trying this place. It was great although it didn't start that way. We were a group of 5 and walked in without a reservation which appeared to piss off the hostess. Later we figured out she just was cranky with everyone. Ha. The wait staff were very nice. I ordered the trout and substituted garlic mashed potatoes for the green chili grits. The trout, spinach and potatoes were all yummy. Trout skin was flash fried and placed on its side in the plate. It was good too. They have a decent wine selection too. read more

We stopped in for breakfast today and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. We were seated right by the window, which gave us a great view of the planes coming and going outside. It made for a fun and unique breakfast setting. The service was pretty average overall. Our server started off fine but seemed to disappear after taking our order, and there were a few delays along the way. Our food was brought out by the runner, who also ended up helping us when my order came out incorrect. I really appreciated how quickly they worked to fix the mistake, it only took about 10 minutes for my corrected plate to come out, which I would say was handled efficiently. One highlight was the pressed coffee, which was much more enjoyable than standard pot-brewed coffee. It tasted fresh and flavorful, and definitely elevated the meal. As for the food itself, the breakfast plates easily made it to the top of our list of places we've tried in Sedona. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The only thing we would change would be the breakfast potatoes, they weren't quite what we consider traditional "breakfast" potatoes and could use a little improvement. Overall, once we received the correct items, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the atmosphere, and the view. It's definitely a place we would return to. read more

We were looking forward to the views and we had hoped to be able to sit outside. When we arrived, they took us into the second room, which I guess is indoor/outdoor, but last night, the plastic sheeting was down so it felt more in than out. We did see some patio tables outside but they did not seem to be using them. It is cool to watch the planes come in and take off. There is a big tent outside that also impacted the view to a degree. Our server was pleasant. The food was good, and the servings were huge. We ordered the chips, guacamole, and warm salsa as an appetizer. It was really tasty, and it would be great for a table of four to share.It was a lot for only two. For our main dishes, my husband ordered the salmon and I had the chicken schnitzel. It was very tasty, but it was a full chicken breast pounded flat, so it was much more than I could eat. We could have shared an entree and been fine. So it was an interesting meal, watching the planes. People were gathering at the airport mesa vista to stay and watch the sunset. read more

Mesa Grill was a great late night come up for our group of 3. Most restaurants in Sedona were already closed, but Mesa Grill likes to party late! We got seated right away and started with the chips, warm salsa, and guacamole appetizer. The salsa was especially tasty. For my entree, I ordered the Blackened Salmon Caesar Salad. The salmon was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. I liked that the parmesan cheese and dressing came on the side, and that the lemon wedge was also blackened. Service was prompt & friendly, and the portions were filling! I'd love to return during the day for the mountaintop vistas. read more

If you go to Sedona, you must visit! The restaurant is by a small airport which makes for great views. While it is a bit on the pricey side, the food was pretty good. We did have to wait a while to get service, but the waiter acknowledged it and gave us tea to go! Fish and Chips: the fish was juicy and well seasoned. The portion was a great size. Loved the sauce. Veggie Burger: it was a great portion size. I even had some leftovers for later. I loved the fries. Hibiscus Tea: it's a bit pricey at $8 but I got a couple of refills. It was solid. read more

This place was highly recommended by one of the locals in the area so hubby & I decided to give it a try. We dined here for late lunch on Monday. We did a walk in & got seated right away bc the place wasn't busy due to an odd time. We sat by the window. Ambiance was spacious & had a nice layout. Service was great & attentive. We started off with drinks. I ordered a gin cocktail & it was stiff. Definitely worth what you pay for. Hubby ordered the aviation classic burger & it was solid. The sourdough bread was served soft & the wagyu was juicy & very tender. All the condiments blended so well together. I had the blackened salmon served with mashed potatoes, elote corn & green beans. Salmon was not dry & cooked perfectly. Mashed potatoes were super soft & greens beans were seasoned well. The corn was flavorful. I'd definitely would like to come back & try their dinner menu whenever I'm in the area. read more

This is my parent's favorite place to eat when we visit Sedona, but tbh I hadn't been in probably 15 years so I didn't know what to expect. We came during Thanksgiving week, around 1:30 in the afternoon and didn't have to wait to be sat. I ordered the Carolina pulled pork plate, served as a sandwich (an free option) and it was literally one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. The side it came with was called jalapeño slaw and elote corn, but it was off-the-cob roasted corn with chopped jalapeños and cojita cheese which wasn't bad but could have been better. We also got the "sun brewed hibiscus tea" which was jamiaca for $8. Outrageous, but free refills and it was really good, so whateves. I didn't think about ordering dessert until I saw the table next to us get the cobbler, so I had to grab that. It was apple cherry cobbler with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream that was the size of a fist. There were maybe 3 cherries at the bottom of the cobbler, but the mix of the warm cobbler topping/filling and the ice cream was so incredibly delicious it outweighed any negativity regarding if fruit was or was not included. This was for sure the most expensive place we ate, and I wouldn't go so far as to say it was "worth" it, but Sedona is an expensive place and I would much rather spend money on good food than not, so for me it was justified. read more

What a great spot for lunch! My friend and I each had the burger and fries and both of us thought they were excellent! Nice relaxing, ambience, service was spot on and watching the planes takeoff and land was a plus. Can't wait to come back and try their foot-long chili dog! read more

We normally love this place but service was incredibly slow. In the past they had a very large menu (something for everyone) but now it's down to one page. Part of the allure to this place, especially around sunset time, is the view...but unfortunately we were sat farthest from the window as possible. Not totally surprised since we were a party of six, but between that and the service it was just ok. My entree was good but I don't think everyone loved what they had. Our guests also commented on how loud it was inside. Still giving four stars because we've had good experiences in the past and have hope this place isn't going downhill. read more

Today I tried to make a reservation for Saturday morning and to my surprise whoever took the reservation. I think his name was Justin.? wanted to get my credit card and charge me $35 per person in case of a cancellation fee! So if I have a maintenance or weather issue and I can't fly my plane from Boulder City to Sedona, they're gonna charge me $175? WTF! I told him that they just lost a loyal customer since that's a ridiculous cancellation policy! Good riddance! read more
