Grand Canyon Lodge Dining Room

Grand Canyon National Park


While the solid dinner menu includes buffalo steak, western trout and several vegetarian options, don't expect great culinary memories – the view is the thing. Lunch is just OK, and the breakfast buffet is entirely forgettable; order something prepared. Although seats beside the window are wonderful, views from the dining room are so huge it really doesn't matter where you sit.

If you didn't make reservations in advance for dinner, you can still take advantage of the buffet across the lobby ($33; 4:30pm to 6:15pm) which has disappointing cafeteria sides to go with the delicious hand-cut prime rib.
