Arizona Room

Frommer's Review

This is the first choice of locals for dinner and a less time-consuming option than eating at El Tovar. The restaurant dishes up the most consistently tasty meals on the South Rim. 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, you can 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 line can extend to an hour at sunset (the large windows facing the canyon are a huge draw). The restaurant is now open for lunch, as well, offering a barbecue-inspired menu. Consider the pistachio shrimp salad if you've had your fill of beef.
