Service was eh. The ambiance was off, there was two completely types of music playing at once. The food was sub par, the steak was overcooked, the beans were worse than canned beans, the corn was shriveled and flavorless, the portion size was very small for the price and the shrimp was ok. For two $35 meals and a $6 beer we paid $95 with all the fees and crap. Definitely would not recommend!! Very over priced for what if was. read more

What an awesome place to eat! The bbq baby back ribs plate and steak plates were great! Great atmosphere, food and customer service! Don't be fooled by the negative comments and low reviews. read more

I definitely did not read the reviews before going here, BIG MISTAKE. I stopped here because of the ambiance outside and inside was delightful, I love southwestern country themed restaurants. That's the extent of anything good. My food was terrible, of course the sides were fine because how can you mess up corn and cornbread. I will say the ranch dressing on the salad was nice, however, the steak was NOT GOOD. No flavor, low end steak. Oh, don't worry you'll spend like 80+ $ for your food just because of location. I figured going outside of the Grand Canyon restaurants was going to be a little better, but no. My husband didn't complain about his ribs or chicken. OVERPRICED, our waiter sucked. Had to ask twice for water, it's 100+ degrees bud, I need f*** water, I was pissed. And he never checked in on us except to give us what we ordered. Waiting tables isn't hard. The 10$ margarita was decent. Food was $30 a plate for my shitty steak. Do yourself a favor and overpay for your fine dining at the Grand Canyon. read more

I ordered the cowboy combo. The shrimp was more breading than fish and they served it with ketchup & no lemon. I ate it without complaining but serving breaded shrimp without lemon is a cardinal sin, imo. They also served cornbread cold, without butter. Maybe they don't believe in condiments or something? Service was fine & we were seated immediately. The steak was cooked as I ordered & seasoned well. The beans were very mediocre. They had a decent house wine that was served in a teensy glass. Our waitress handed me the bill, then walked away. It took me about 5 minutes to realize that although she had served us the entire time, it was up to me to hike over to the register to settle up. Not a big deal but some sort of communication would have been nice. read more

2 stars was pretty generous. We choose this place for the rattlesnake on the appetizer menu & because we thought it was cute & the atmosphere would make up for the food. Cons: No rattlesnake meat. Iceberg lettuce for the salad. Zucchini chips need seasoning. They do not allow modifications on menu items. Pros: My husband enjoyed his T-bone Kids loved potato skins Fun "Old West" atmosphere down to them bring out tiny iron pots of beans like the cowboys cooked with over the campfire! read more

This was NOT a good experience at all! Tourist Trap (i.e. they would not be in business if it wasn't for naive tourists (sigh...such as myself). Lettuce for salads is from a bag. Several pieces of lettuce in my salad were brown, slimey, and wilted. Food was sent back because it was either burnt or undercooked. Food came back still not cooked correctly. Corn was definitely not fresh. Sent it back and asked for fresh corn. Got soggy overcooked corn a second time. Do yourself a favor and just don't. read more

Like many other diners, we ate here after touring the grand canyon, and we feel fleeced. Regular burger and fries was $17, cooked poorly, didn't taste great, and the fries were cold and bland. Service was mediocre at best, little to no energy to help diners. We also had the rattlesnake bites platter, which was $25 and came with four small bites, a dozen onion rings, and the bites had several rattlesnake bones in them. I'm not exaggerating when I say that i would have rather mcdonald's or wendy's in the same street. read more

TL:DR - Not even a whole day of hiking can make the food here desirable. Ribs (dry), steak (old and tough), potato (undercooked), and beans (cold), everything was just bad. I know you might want steak after a hike, but I promise you, you'll be better served going elsewhere. ----------------------------------------------------------- Wow. Just all the wows. Like woooow. Most times after a good long day of hiking, almost anything that isn't burnt to a crisp tastes amazing, but there's always an exception to the rule right? While I'm not at all expecting anything fancy, I know I'm going just asking for it coming to a steak house in a tourist town, but I want edible. Just going down the list of food we got ribs (dry), steak (old and tough), potato (undercooked), and beans (cold), everything was just bad. The only things that were ok to eat (like not even good) was the salad (but still way to much dressing) and the fried zucchini appetizers. Service was fine, but with the prices the way they are and the food the way it is, please please please avoid this place. read more

Go ahead and drop a coin on this place and you'll experience what we did. We wanted to give it a chance but c'mon folks!! I have no idea how this place is still in business. We ordered the ribs and the cube steak. First the ribs, my son who is 25 can eat anything but these ribs. Our meal came with a tossed salad of soggy lettuce drenched in ranch dressing. My baked potato was not cooked all the way, the corn was over cooked. No flavor on anything. The corn bread is 1x2 inch, 3 pieces. Our waiter had the personality of a rock. Stayed on his phone when not throwing our food at us. Seemed impatient and hated his job. Don't know where they are from but Americans don't roll that way at 20-30.00 a plate. My bill was $91.00 and we left all the food in the table. read more

Yippee-Ei-Hell-No! I feel like I committed a yelp crime by eating at a place before checking their yelp reviews. Lesson learned. Two stars is generous. Sheriff, I promise to do better next time. I came in with a group of colleagues after we just spent an amazing afternoon beholding the breathtaking Grand Canyon. They were charmed by the corny western exterior and decor. It screamed tourist trap, but I wasn't in a position to exert my better judgement and put an end to this experience right then and there. So instead we were seated. The unpleasantness began as soon as our server came. I asked for separate checks for our group. He said no, he couldn't do that. Having not even ordered yet, why would this be so difficult to handle from the get go? They don't even punch anything into a computer system as everything is handwritten, orders and checks. I politely asked why not, and he huffed and puffed and then literally just walked away. Um sir, we would still like to order please.... Among our group, we ordered (on one check that we would go through and divide up ourselves later) side salad, baked potato, chicken wings, burger with fries, steak salad, soda, and a couple Coronas. It took a while to receive the food, and worth the wait it was not. My colleague who ordered the steak salad enjoyed her meal most, the rest was underwhelming. And for $20, I would hope she enjoyed it. The burger and chicken wings got below average reviews. The fries were boring and underseasoned. I personally liked my baked potato (let's be honest though, it's a potato, there is only one ingredient). Disappointed that it was very small for $4, and didn't even come with any toppings, only butter squares on the table. No cheese or chives or anything else. Just a plain ol' tater wrapped in foil. These cost like 79¢ at the market, but whatever. The salad was a weak showing of iceberg lettuce, two cherry tomatoes, and a few limp raw onion crescents. But $4 sure beats the $15 salad on the flip side of the menu. We had other issues with a Coke being ordered and Pepsi being delivered, which was not clarified at the time of ordering that they only have Pepsi soda products. Other colleagues had to ask for water, condiments, and were met with more unfriendliness. When it came time to pay the $97 tab, we had some trouble with the math trying to divide the bill accurately given the waiter's poor handwriting and, as we eventually came to realize, automatic inclusion of an 15% gratuity. How generous of them to think he earned that tip! I can say with absolute confidence I will never, ever be back here, and would recommend y'all find a better place as well. read more

You get a lot of food here when you order an entree. Recommend the sirloin. It comes with salad, cornbread, a potato, 1/2 corn on the cob, and baked beans. Server was fast. Did not enjoy the ribs my husband ordered. read more

My friends and I were looking for a lunch spot after we finished the Grand Canyon National Park and this was not it. The outside looked intriguing and we were trying to go to more local type places than chain restaurants. Very interesting designs, thought I was in Texas almost but that's not what the issue was. The service was very poor, our waitress would leave before we even finished ordering meaning she would take a couple of our orders and if we didn't answer right away she just walked away. Their menu is also misleading. For beverages, it advertises coffee type drinks (latte, cappuccino, etc) and when we tried ordering them the waitress said they don't have any of that. Their was also a questionable named food item "cotton picker chicken". Not sure why they called it that but definitely didn't sit right with us. The restaurant itself was very dead too. With entrees, you get cornbread, salad, and beans that's shared family style. The cornbread was good once it was warmed up. Our entrees though were very subpar. I got the half rack of ribs which barely had meat on them and the meat they had would not really come off the bone. The corn on the cob was super bland and mushy. The baked potato was good. Beans were just pento type beans with no flavor. Overall, wouldn't recommend and it was pricey for the quality of food... for the 5 of us it was around $230. read more

The sign and building exterior caught our attention on the drive into Grand Canyon National Park and we stopped for lunch on our way out. The atmosphere was pleasant and the wait staff was friendly. Overall, the BBQ was good - not great - and for the price it would have been nice for the half rack of ribs to be closer to tender than as well done as they were. There's also a 15% gratuity built in to all checks - this is noted towards the bottom of their menu. read more

Read the reviews before hand but decided to give it a try either way. This was our mistake. I ordered a steak, it was so chewy, I had a hard time eating it. I had to drown it in A1 sauce because it had no flavor. The potato was probably the best part. It was just a potato. I had to open it up and put the butter and sour cream in. My friends all ordered the burger and were all disappointed. You can't charge $15 for a burger and have it be mediocre. The service was also interesting. But they were busy so I'm just rating the food. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such a low rating. The ambiance was cute with its cowboy theme. The staff was super friendly and efficient. The food was good. Fresh and plentiful. I've been to many steakhouses and is it the best ... no. But it certainly isn't a two star restaurant either. There aren't a lot of options in this city and I think this one one is a good option. read more

We were craving a steak, and didn't know where to go to eat. So glad we found this place! We ordered two full dinners and split them between three of us so the food was very great servings, our waiter was excellent and loved the old Timey feel of the place. If I come back this way we definitely will stop by. The cornbread was off the hook! OK post to read more

Was hesitant after seeing reviews but was glad we ate here. Food was very good. The service was great. Waiter was very nice and on top of our needs. The place is nice and warming. Would come back if I'd ever visit the Grand Canyon again. Give it a try! read more

First, if you identify as a stake house you should not get the stakes wrong. This just our side the Grand Canyon South Rim and we thought hey, stakes! This place over charges, but we expected that. What we did not expect is the limited choices and minimal portions. The cornbread is a sliver. What got me was they did the stake wrong. It was under cooked for the way I ordered it to be done. It was under seasoned and it was tough as bootstraps. I would warn, not a great choice as I think everything was frozen. read more

first of all I know I am the only one who has a 5 star review but omg the food is amazing the service is just so sweet and I love the design the server said wait ladies first. highly recommended for when you visit the Grand Canyon! read more

4/5 of my family got the hamburger and those 4/5 of us threw up in the restroom and continue to have stomach issues 45 minutes later. The service was awful as our waitress was acting annoyed and careless and the food was appalling in all senses. 3/5 of us did not finish our burgers, and I myself finished mine because I was hungry. Burgers were dry as well as the steak and the sides/appetizers were extremely underwhelming. Overpriced, underperforming, rude. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

I am being generous with giving this place 2 stars. We were starving & looking for a non-fast food option. There were hardly any choices so we wound up here. It's a dusty looking wood building with lots of parking. Inside, it's dark (and maybe that's a good thing) with very large tables. We wanted to sit in the bar but the seats were all saddles. We were already doubting ourselves on whether to stay or not but we did. 1 star for the good wine pour. The menu is a joke - we got a steak salad and jalapeño poppers to share. They were good so they get 1 star. Service was a little slow. The best is that they have an entree that is spaghetti with a steak and corn on the cob - insane! Anyway, we survived but........never again! read more

My fiancé and I dropped by in here after visiting the Grand Canyon because I was craving a baked potato. We just looked it up and didn't look at reviews. No one in the parking lot should've been our sign to walk out. Walked in and it was dark. There were 2 employees on the right of us sitting at a table watching a show in an iPad. Looked annoyed and sat us down without saying a word. I said thank you and got nothing in response. Should've walked out then but just let it slide. We looked at the menus and it was so expensive and I was surprised because it looked like a Texas Roadhouse almost. The waitress came over 10 minutes later and said "ready to order?" Very bland talking and we said "yes maam. Uh i want Dr Pepper to drink and I want a Coke". All she said was okay. My Fiancé and I decided to just get 2 loaded baked potatoes and a bread basket that comes with cornbread and biscuits. And she just said okay and took our menus and walked away. I said thank you and no response. I decided to look up the reviews and they were awful and it made sense. I'm glad we didn't get anything else to eat. The cornbread was good but only 2 pieces cut in half and 3 biscuits for $12. The baked potatoes only came with sour cream and we wanted them loaded. (Which where we're from is cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, and butter). It was just very bland service and alright food for experience prices. read more

Any port in a storm. Ok it was not raining. The best part of this place is it's the first place you come to when leaving the Grand Canyon park. I could not see spending a lot of money here. We ordered appetizers and three non alcoholic drinks and the bill still came to $47 plus tip. See photo for food. read more

I've never met such a group of unenthusiastic servers in my life. I'm not sure if they're all burnt out or just sick of their jobs. I ordered a cowboy combo which had a 6 ounce steak and 3 butterfly shrimp. I asked for it medium well, but it was definitely well done. The steak was tough and flavorless. The shrimp seemed like it was just reheated from one of those frozen packages. The margarita was too sour, diluted, not sweet at all with a sprinkle of salt at the rim. The best part of the meal was probably the wings and only because I liked the bbq sauce they used. To top it all off, they don't accept American Express cards, but don't tell you this and instead just try to run your card and tell you it's denied. I imagine that restaurants in this area have almost no incentive to up their game since they're the only ones in town. I can't imagine this place caring enough to try to do better. If you have a choice, don't come here. You're probably better off at the McDonalds or Wendy's down the road. read more

I should have read reviews first, but it's like one of the first restaurants you see once you get into town and when you've been driving for 3.5 hours with a hungry 8 year old it looked like it might be a good place. We both had steaks that had zero flavor, just a smoke taste not in a good way. Salad was regular. Corn on the cob was even a little iffy. It didn't taste like corn. Pot of beans flavorless. Cornbread decent. Baked potato was baked and it's hard to get that that wrong. Service was regular nothing special and no smiles or any personality. Towards the end of our meal I went to the restroom, told my son to wait but he wandered 10 feet over to check out the deer head on the wall. 2 mins later I come back to see our entire table was cleared and the lady saying that she thought we skipped out on the bill. So meaning I left my kid behind in the Grand Canyon so I didn't have to pay a $60 tab? I was gone from my table for 2 mins and we still had food on our plates. We weren't done eating. The 3 waitresses were all acting odd after that weird encounter. I went to the front to pay, not sure if it's only cash but when I pulled my card out she asked if I could pay in cash. I was totally flustered by what had just happened I totally regret the $15 dollar tip I gave them. The only reason I am giving them 1 star is for the decor. It totally fits the western cowboy vibe and had really cute stuff that was fun to look at while we waited for our food. read more

Never go on a road trip and forget to check Yelp reviews! My family and I stopped here to get a break from all of the cheap fast-food that was on our route, which is ironic because afterwards we got Wendy's anyway. Since we're from California, overpriced food is fairly common; however, we didn't expect to say Yippie-ie-o to our wallets for what was ultimately served. Salad was a bag mix with ranch. Eh. The $20 rattlesnake appetizer ended up being 4 small slivers of meat in what tasted like donut batter. $30+ sirloins were cooked alright but lacked seasoning. $30+ ribs and chicken were dry despite the puddles of barbeque sauce. The worst were the $20+ beef shish-ka-bobs and $17 "veggie platters." The meat on the 'bobs was alright but the potatoes were undercooked and crunchy while the other veggies were burned beyond identification. Veggie platter consisted of: underripe+raw slices of tomato, dry carrot sticks, a cup of canned fruit, slices of American cheese and what was once green peppers, onions, and tomatoes. RIP veggies. Unfortunately even the family dog who'll eat ANYTHING (tree bark, crayons, christmas ornaments, etc.) refused to touch the leftovers. I apologise for the harsh criticism in this review, but someone's gotta say it! read more

Do yourself a favor and just skip this place. After a full day of hiking the Grand Canyon and tired of trail food we figured anything would taste good. Our fault for not checking Yelp first and seeing the reviews. I ordered the Outlaw Combo of ribs and a steak. Food came on a tiny plate with the steak on top of the half rack. Who does that? Ribs were meh but edible, the steak was less than meh. I've had better steak at a Denny's. Tough and no seasoning. You know it's a bad steak if you need steak sauce and this definitely needed steak sauce. If I wasn't so hungry from hiking I would have just skipped it. The baked potato was small but cooked okay, butter and sour cream only. One bite of the corn on the cob was more than plenty to know I didn't want to finish it. The salad looked and tasted like it came out of a bag from Wal-Mart and the beans definitely came out of a can. Oh, and the beans came in a bowl for the whole table! How are we supposed to serve them? Or do we all just double dip our spoons in?! My son got the Cowboy Combo and said the shrimp was okay but nothing special. He agrees with my opinion on everything else. The one good thing we ate was the corn bread which honestly was more like corn cake. Very moist and very sweet. But we enjoyed it. The service was blah. They brought our food and drinks and that was it. No refills, no "how is everything?" nothing. Which is okay because if they had asked I was just tired enough to tell them. All in all our bill was close to $100 with sodas and tip. The food wasn't even worth 1/4 of that. Please take my misfortune and use it to your benefit and skip right pass this place. If you are REALLY hungry and need to eat, take off your shoes and drag them through the mud and eat them instead of going here. You're welcome. read more

You need to go early as the line was out the door by the time we left. The service was excellent. Staff was friendly. We had shrimp, steak kabobs and chicken and ribs. It was all tasty and flavorful. The cornbread was sweet as well. I don't understand the low rating. read more

Oof. This place is not good and the prices are hefty considering how not good. We started with the roundup appetizer and ordered the kids some food just to appease them after a drive. The roundup appetizer...eek, just look at the photo. It was completely overdone and gross. The potato skins were only potato, no toppings and so fried that even the skin had burst open into dust. There were like 9 steak fries and then the fried zucchini which was alright but again, completely over done and basically flavorless. The kids quesadilla was meh at best and burger was 100% previously frozen (which I get, we're very remote) but it was inedible! Like frozen way too long! Even the bun! Would not recommend this place to anyone. Ever. read more

Food was good. Service was pretty good. Didn't know that everyone gets salad and cornbread so some of our party ordered side salad. There were 9 of us. Everyone like their food. The tortilla salad was delicious. The rattlesnake was good but not much meat in the order. Basically 1 small piece each for 6 of us (cooked in a ball of dough) ribs were fantastic. Cowboy beans were a little bland.. maybe cowboys didn't carry seasoning. Steaks were good. Nice decor. All in all pretty satisfied. read more

Cornbread and beans were really good. The steak and ribs were just ok. Beware, my son and I ate, just the two of us, and 15% gratuity was already added to our bill. I ask the lady what the charge was for and she snapped back "gratuity it says on the menu". I told her I left the server 20% cash on the table. She finally took the 15% off my bill. Once we got outside another gentleman came up to me and said he almost did the same thing I had done. Never have I saw gratuity added for a party of two. The diner was clean. read more

If you're reading this review I hope it's not too late for you to choose somewhere else to eat. This place is completely overpriced! We ordered a burger, t bone steak, spaghetti, and baby back ribs. Everything was completely flavorless. Spaghetti was $14 and had no meat - just sauce and pasta from a box and jar undoubtedly. My sister didn't even wanna finish it. The steak was too rare for a medium rare and needed to be flavored or seasoned. I spent $3 on a fast food burger today and it was infinitely better than the $15 burger from today. We got 2 and a half pieces of corn bread and there were 4 of us. We asked for more and they said it would be an extra charge. Also beware of the mandatory 15% gratuity already added! read more

Went after a long day at the canyon. Our guide from the pink keep recommended it. Really cute inside, service was okay. Got the t-bone and everything it came with. The steak was good. They cook it differently then I am used to but it had a good flavor. Came with a salad, beans, corn, and a potato. Salad came with ranch nothing special about it. Beans were not great. Corn and potato were cooked well could have used some more salt in the water with the corn, but from the south so used to more salt. Overall went to a steakhouse for a good steak and that's what I got! read more

I don't think I can remember having a worse meal than the one I had here. The the food was all over cooked.

The french fries were the only things that was editable. read more
