Frommer's Review

This is the locals' first choice for dinner and a less time-consuming option than El Tovar. The restaurant dishes up the South Rim's most consistently tasty meals. Entrees include hand-cut steaks, mustard- and rosemary-crusted prime rib, marinated chicken breast, and pan-seared salmon with melon salsa. My favorite is the baby-back ribs with prickly-pear or spicy chipotle barbecue sauce. To accompany your meal, choose from a variety of mid-priced California wines or flavored margaritas. Arriving before the Arizona Room's 4:30pm dinner opening isn't a bad idea, since the wait can be an hour long at sunset (the large windows facing the canyon are a huge draw). The restaurant is now open for lunch, too, offering a barbecue-centric menu. Consider the Serrano chicken salad if you've had your fill of beef.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
