American Restaurants in Kayenta

“Truly a gem! Incredible flavors, the blue corn waffle, espresso drinks, and breakfast specials were the best thing we tasted on our Monument Valley trip. The food combines authentic Navajo & Mexican flavors with diner classics. We had a red chile chai latte with a shot of espresso & and amigo mocha - these drinks were thoughtfully prepared and delicious! We drove about 30 minutes out of the way to get breakfast here instead of the places in Monument Valley and we are glad we did it, SO worth it! Make sure to try some of the green chile sauce with your meal. We cannot wait to go back, immaculate vibes, great food.“

“Ate here twice - once on the way into Monument Valley and once on the way out. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the food is served hot and quickly. Drinks are huge. This is typical diner/homestyle food cooked fresh and tasty...not gourmet, not the healthiest, but exactly what you would expect at a family-owned diner in a small town. Value in terms of price/tasty food ratio is excellent, hence the five stars. And because everything is run so efficiently, I would highly recommend this restaurant rather than stopping at the fast food one next door.“

“Located in the Hampton Inn in Kayenta Arizona in the Navajo reservation. It was our second time through the area and we were delighted to eat there again. The best fry bread I have ever had and the green chili stew is so good that it took all my willpower to keep me from licking the bowl.“

“This place was great!! We were staying at their hotel and we got into town very late, around maybe 8:15 I want to say (I think it says they close at 8 online but it must be 9). We had been hiking all day and driving here for the night. The town is on the reservation and this area didn't have much besides a couple fast food spots. We really didn't want fast food, so we saw only one restaurant in town open until 9 and were headed there. We were worried we wouldn't be able to check into our hotel so late though and we were going to pass it on the way to this other restaurant we found online. When we went inside to check in, we saw they had a restaurant and it looked good! I asked if we could eat there or if they were closed and he said yes if we went right away since they'd be closing in about 45 min. We just decided to stay there and eat and it was really nice!The hotel was really a Motel but surprisingly pretty nice, with this nice restaurant too! We were just glad to not have to eat fast food. They had a real menu, with reasonable prices and very large portions! We really could've shared a meal. I was only disappointed that they were out of their bread and fajitas which were their specialties. But, I got the quesadilla and it was one of the best veggie quesadillas I have ever had! Only thing to note, is that gratuity was automatically included. (We were a table of 4) so we didn't realize it and ended up tipping on top of that way extra! The service was normal but nothing crazy, so we were a little upset we basically paid for an entire extra meal without realizing it but that's our bad. We paid in cash because they were only accepting cash at that time and so I didn't really put together the "added gratuity" until we were splitting the bill after amongst ourselves, because I didn't write in a tip and sign since it was cash and not card. I just looked at the total. Sooo just be aware that your tip will already be added to your bill :)Definitely loved the food and loved that there was a no fast food option in the area and would recommend stopping here and even staying at the motel!“
