Any suggestions? Thanks all!

Inside the park: Dining room at El Tovar. There are dining rooms at Bright Angel Lodge, Yavapai Canyon Cafe and the like. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g143028-Grand_Canyon_National_Park_Arizona.html I ate at a steakhouse in Tusayan a few months ago..nothing memorable. So I can't say that there is anything there that is fantastic. Although if you are at the North Rim - the cookies at the Jacob Lake cafe are to die for..some of the best cookies I've ever had.

We just got back from a trip there and the menu is not exotic but does have some good selections for all meals, and the food is good enough considering it is a national park.

Sane eaters would probably split one of these (spiced but not spicy) behemoths, but we each got our own. I don't actually remember what's in it, but it's basically egg-sauce-meat filled Indian frybread and I remember smiling after every bite.

El Tovar prices look high for the dishes but we may splurge and go there. Wed Jun 24 09:56:14 -0700 2009 1857658 251660 palmtree38
