Canyon Room Restaurant

Early breakfast buffet at the Grand Canyon Squire Inn

Grand Canyon Village, AZ

About

The Canyon Room Restaurant is the sit-down dining room at the Grand Canyon Squire Inn, serving breakfast only — a daily buffet plus menu ordering, open early enough to fuel up before a full day on the rim. It's a straightforward hotel restaurant rather than a destination in its own right, and reviews reflect a split experience: some guests call out friendly, apologetic staff even when service lags, while others report long waits and slow food during busy mornings.

What to expect

The buffet runs about $20 per person and covers the basics — eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, croissants, and fruit — with coffee and other drinks included. One recent visitor called the food itself "fine," even while flagging slow table service; another noted the buffet is help-yourself for food, with drinks brought to the table. If you're staying at the Squire and want to eat without leaving the property before heading into the park, it covers that need.

Hours: daily, 6:00–10:30 AM (breakfast only)
Price: around $20 per person for the buffet
Location: inside the Grand Canyon Squire Inn, 74 AZ-64

Worth knowing before you sit down: buffet breakfast is not automatically included with a room stay, so confirm that at check-in. If mornings are tight or the dining room is backed up, it's fair to budget extra time.

Went down for breakfast before heading down to the Grand Canyon. 30 minute wait to be seated, not a problem, we knew they were short staffed. We saw a bunch of tables cleaned off and we were next in line. A gentleman that we assumed was the manager was very pleasant and apologetic, and took my husband and myself and a family of four, that was behind us. He sat the family of four at a table and pointed out three tables that we could choose to sit at, but apparently webpicked the wrong one. Three other parties were seated and attended to, so we got the attention of the gentleman. He apologized and said he would send the waitress over immediately. My husband did see him talk to a waitress, right after. She then proceeded to attend to two other tables that were seated after us. After 30 minutes seated at the table we still didn't even have water or coffee, or spoken to a waitress. When my husband got up to say we were thinking of leaving, the manager just said I'm sorry and didn't attempt to make it right. What a waste of time. We weren't going to waste anymore time there that we could be spending at the canyon Sad this place is rated so poorly its a wonderful resort.

We ordered from the menu for breakfast. There were 3 other tables. When the food arrived 30 mins later, the wrong order came for me and bacon instead of sausage for my husband. No cream is offered for coffee. The staff is very nice and pleasant but not sure what’s going on with getting simple food orders together. The food itself tasted fine.

$20 for crappy breakfast buffet plus $4 coffee! My coffee was never refilled. I had to walk up to the desk where 4 employees are standing around laughing and talking personal stuff to ask for another coffee. When they brought me the coffee, every table around us asked if they could get another coffee too. No one came to check on us. The buffet itself was all heat and serve, pre-cooked food. I would never go back!

20 Dollar per person for breakfast. Waitress served us immediately (only drinks, food you help yourself at a buffet). They have toast and croissants as well as bacon, eggs, fruits and other stuff. Drinks seem to be included in 20 Dollars p.p.

1) They took away our plates before we were finished and we had to get a new plate of food 2) We were under the impression that the breakfast buffet was included in the stay, but they did not tell us that when we asked the front desk and server. Overall pretty disappointed lol but the servers were nice.
