    Wow!! These fry bread tacos are so good. It has been featured in Diner, Drive Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri on Food Network and is also a James Beard Award winner. It's a small place with about 8 4-chair tables inside. My son and I shared the Combo Fry Bread Taco, I couldn't finish one by myself. With shredded beef red chile beans and it did not disappoint. Chile was mild but had a good flavor. Topped with shredded cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Price for Combo was $15.95 paid separate for fountain drinks $3.25 ea came with free refills. After we ordered a fry bread with sugar & cinnamon on top with a side of honey at $10.50 it was so Good! We arrived about 5:45 pm on a Monday and it wasn't busy. By the time we left around 6:30ish the place was full. Business hours are M-Sat 11am to 8pm, closed Sundays. I'd recommend you give it a try.

    I first had fry bread when spending time in New Mexico during pharmacy school, so I wanted to expose my husband to it on our trip to Phoenix over the winter. Based on our reviewing Fry Bread House seemed to be the place to go! We visited in the late afternoon (between normal meal times) but were surprised that it was still so busy! They don't have much seating inside (it's a tiny spot) but they have ample tables and chairs outside (all of which was packed during our recent visit). We planned on takeout, which was good since I don't think we would have found a spot to eat! There was ample room to wait while our order was being prepared, which didn't take too long especially considering how busy it was. We had fun looking at all the decor around the room while we waited - and we learned the Guy Fieri visited on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Fun and eclectic decor that was on-theme all around. The main dish seemed to be the fry bread taco, so that's where we focused our eyes. I was pleased to see so many options! My husband opted for the ultimate taco, which featured beef (he chose the mix of red and green chili beef) and refried beans alongside onions and lettuce. I went for the the vegetarian taco, which substituted the beef for green chili strips. Even with transporting our meal back to our hotel, it really didn't lose much integrity. The fry bread was as I remember - substantial yet not super heavy and with a nice crisp. The taco take was different from how I originally enjoyed it, but I thought the pairings worked just right. The various flavors blended together to make it certainly the most unique taco I've had! The tacos were decently sized, leaving us full but not overly stuffed, afterwards. At the price point ($11-15 / taco), it was a good value. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Fry Bread House, and I'm glad I got to revisit this delicious treat and also expose my husband to it!

    I hadn't stopped at The Fry Bread House in a very long time. I have been a customer of theirs for years. I even remember the other two locations before the current location. The menu evidently has changed as I was looking forward to a chorizo and beans which they no longer have on their menu. So I went with the Native Taco which still made my tummy feel good. As Summer comes I am pretty sure that most of the orders will be takeout. The place is kept clean but can't accommodate a large crowd. Their service is still impeccable and they do it with a smile. I still miss the chorizo with beans, but customers are important what can I say.

    Closed on holidays, even though you can place DoorDash orders

    I was really excited to try the food here for the first time, but unfortunately I wasn't able to and don't think I'll be back based on my experience. The restaurant was closed for Memorial Day, but their DoorDash was left on, so I didn't know they were closed when I placed and paid for a pickup order. I was surprised to get to the restaurant and see a closed sign when so many other restaurants were open that day. Because DoorDash automatically marks these orders as 'completed,' it turned into a multi-day hassle to get a refund, and I ultimately had to dispute the charge to get my money back. I left my name and number for a Fry Bread House manager to call but they never did. Just a friendly heads-up to management to please turn off the apps on holidays so future customers don't have to fight for refunds (I wasn't the only confused person pulling up to their parking lot), and a note to diners to not order on any holidays.

    So good we had to come back again before we flew back home. This time we got Birria Taco, ultimate taco with Birria meat, red beef tamale, pazole & Honey & powdered sugar dessert fry bread. The staff is so friendly and attentive. We wish we could take this place back with us! We will be back on our next adventure to this area! They also have native american vendors selling jewelry and other items out front.

    It was my turn to pick a place to eat. I told the girls, "Let's go. You are in for a treat". I did not know that they had never had fry bread. I could not let them go back east without trying some traditional Native food. They were so excited. I told them I like eating fry bread with honey and jalapenos. Nice little place with indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside as it was not too hot. Two of us ordered the traditional Native taco with ground beef. The other ordered a fry bread taco salad. We all ordered a sweet fry bread as well. I think we all got the honey fry bread. I asked for jalapenos, but they did not have picked jalapenos. One of us found a hair in the taco and was worried about taking it back. I told her not to worry, our people will not do anything to your food if you take it back. So, she took it back, and they made her another one. These tacos were so big! I could only eat half (after I had eaten 3 slices of sweet fry bread. . . lol. . .). I ate the other half the next day for lunch, and it was just as good. I will definitely be back.

    Amazing! Great value for the amount of food! Everything had amazing flavor! Easy order and sit down and the team brought out the food. Space is small but outdoor seating helps! Fast casual space for food. Green chili tamale 100/10 My only feedback is for myself that next time I should get a sweet Frybread! Will be back!

    Fry Bread House in Phoenix, Arizona, offers a delightful and unique dining experience with its delicious and innovative Native American cuisine. My manager, who highly recommended this place, was thrilled to introduce it to me. It's a popular spot among locals and even featured on Guy Fieri's TV show, "Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives." The restaurant attracts a steady stream of customers eager to savor its fun and creative Native American dishes. Frye Bread holds a special place in culinary history as the first Native American restaurant in the United States to receive the prestigious James Beard Foundation's "America's Classics" award in 2012. Their signature Fry Bread is incredibly chewy and flavorful. During my visit, I joined my coworkers, manager, and a few friends for lunch. One of the unique features of Frye Bread is its outdoor mini farmers market, where native American vendors sell jewelry, cultural gifts, and all things Native American. It was a great opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and experience one of the restaurant's beloved dishes. While Frye Bread offers a variety of savory protein options to accompany their Fry Bread, I personally preferred mine simply drizzled with butter and powdered sugar. The combination of flavors was simply irresistible. Frye Bread is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic and flavorful Native American dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to preserving and showcasing Native American culture, combined with its delectable Fry Bread and batter, makes it a memorable dining experience.

    Outside seating in the shade with our pup under the table. One native and one red chile beef taco for lunch. Only had to drive 750 miles for lunch. Totally worth it! Fry bread was warm and soft with mild red chile beef plus lettuce and tomato. Seriously one of the best taste sensations on this giant blue ball we live on. Don't get to Phoenix too often but Fry Bread House is and always will be a must visit. If it wasn't so solar flare hot here we might visit more often. Order online or at the counter, dine inside or out. Inside is a mosh pit of servers, dine in and take away folks, dashers, bicycles (really go see for yourself) and wall art. T-shirts too. Got one this visit. Show your colors old man, yeah. Small parking lot and street parking. Shady seating for you and your pup. Enjoy!

    We liked the green chili ultimate taco. The fry bread was really good warm and chewy. Never had anything like it before. It's a huge portion so I would just order 1 taco per adult person. You order at the counter and they bring food to your table. Service is very friendly. Indoor seating is limited but they have outdoor seating. Overall a good place to swing by for lunch or visiting Arizona.

    I stopped by yesterday with my mom to get some fry bread, we have been coming to this location for such a LONG time! They never disappoint. They are always busy as well. Inside is not so spacious as a heads up and you may need to just get the food togo unless you go early! The service is good and quick! The staff were friendly. They have some many different options to choose from, they have savory fry-bread and sweet! I got the ultimate taco which is my favorite go too! My mom got the same. We loved it. Always comes out delicious! Then for sweets I tried their chocolate and butter one for the first time and wow! So yummy!! The chocolate is so good!!! If you have not been here before I highly recommend it!! Guy Fieri has also been here and loved it! They also sell merchandise now! I saw they had shirts, hoodies, hats, and beanies. Very cool!

    Ask the Community - The Fry Bread House

    Will The Fry Bread House reopen and if yes any dates?

    It's open now.

    Is indoor dining an option as of July 2021? Tried calling but the number seems not in operation?

    Yes. People were dining indoors

    What are the real hours? I've been trying to check this place out since hearing about it? Everytime I've attempted to go during your listed hours it's you're closed?

    Do you have indoor dining?

    Yes they have seating indoors and outdoors

    Are the beans (refried) cooked in lard too? Sounds like nothing vegetarian :-( or made more healthy? Thanks Sandra! Will come to try with friends!

    Our Beans are vegetarian. Our Fry Bread is vegetarian. Fry Bread is unhealthy if you eat it… 

    Any vegetarian entrees?

    I’m sorry, but I don’t know why folks say that our Frybread is cooked in lard. It is not. Our Fry Bread and our beans are vegetarian.

The food options are great too. I ordered the fried chicken after hearing so many good things about it. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown for me. It was super crispy and juicy, but also really salty, which kind of overpowered the flavor. The mac & cheese was pretty basic, but the Matador and breakfast sandwich were both solid choices. And don't forget to check out the ice cream shop next door! They have some really good flavors. Overall, still a great spot for brunch, drinks, and an amazing deal.

The bone marrow was interesting and flavorful, but I'm not sure it was worth $25. The oysters were good, although I wish there had been a few different sauce options beyond the basic preparation. The steak was probably a 3.2/5 for me--it was good, but at $62, I expected more, especially considering it was served with fries. Service was good overall, although the experience started off a little strangely. We had made a reservation and mentioned that it was our anniversary, that we were trying a new restaurant, and that we were hoping to make the evening special. Unfortunately, none of that was acknowledged. When we arrived, we were directed to the front, where the hostess seemed confused about our reservation before eventually taking us to our table. I wasn't expecting anything extravagant, but even a simple "Happy Anniversary" would have made a difference. The ambience was definitely one of the highlights--moody, intimate, and a nice setting for a date night. I was actually happy that we were seated along the back wall rather than in the main dining area. Overall, I'd give the experience about a 2.7/5. The food was decent and the atmosphere was nice, but for the price ($85 per person), I expected a little more from both the food and the overall experience. Especially for an anniversary dinner, it was disappointing to make a point of mentioning the occasion and have it go completely unacknowledged.

It was way too much and it ruined the sandwich completely the meat in the sandwich at least was really good. It's just a coleslaw. Definitely ruined it funny enough I happen to look at somebody else who had caught in coleslaw, but on their tacos instead, and I was seeing the guy draining his taco because there was so much coleslaw juice they really need to fix that and then they got rid of the lobster bisque soup which was really one of the best things they had what a huge letdown there
