About

Grand Canyon Brewery is Williams' answer to a good brewpub — a big, family-friendly space with a 4.2-star rating across 57 Google reviews, and the kind of menu that covers both the beer nerds and the kids fighting over the arcade games. Reviewers keep coming back for the sour beer lineup and the prickly pear IPA and wheat, both distinctly Arizona.

What to order

The food holds its own against the beer list. The Santa Fe Chicken sandwich comes with a full grilled breast rather than a skimpy cutlet, the wings and fries get called out as some of the best travelers have had anywhere, and the fried cheese curds and fried bread with caramel show up in more than one review as the things people wish they'd ordered sooner. Taco Tuesday specials pop up too. Sandwiches are priced fair but don't include sides, so plan on adding fries.

Vibe: casual brewpub with an indoor waterfall, stream feature, and arcade games — built for families as much as beer drinkers
Happy hour: reviewers mention $4 beers
Parking: a large lot with Tesla superchargers on site
Location: Cataract Lake Road in Williams, next to a couple of hotels and across from an RV park

There's a patio for warmer days, and service gets praised more often than not, though a couple of reviewers noted it can be uneven on busier nights. Good stop on the way to or from the South Rim, and easy to make a longer night of if you're staying in Williams.

I’m not a beer drinker, but my hubby is, so we always stop at breweries. I noticed this place offered several sour beers so decided to try some of them. HOLY COW were they absolutely delicious. I’m truly shocked how great the flavors were. I tried four and each were so good. Plus the food was amazing too. Best meal we’ve had in the week we’ve been in the area. My husband got wings & fries, swore they are the best he’s ever tasted. That’s huge, he orders wings everywhere we go in various states, but these were the absolute best! I got a couple chicken tacos (it was taco Tuesday special) they were so good & I also got their fried bread with caramel. I hate we live so far away because this would be our go to place!! Great staff, food & drinks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

These shrimp tacos were absolutely delicious, with perfectly cooked shrimp, warm tortillas, and a creamy sauce. The salsa tasted authentically homemade, bright and zesty with just the right kick. Paired with a cold alcohol-free beer, it was a refreshing combo that really let the taco flavors shine.

Made a trip up to Williams,Arizona. We did the Grand Canyon coaster. Walked downtown, then we hit up this place. The onion rings came out a little under cooked. The wings which were the honey hot came out with honey over the wings and a side of hot sauce. Usually the sauces are combined and poured over wings. Wings were good. We also got the 4 beer sampler. Very refreshing. It was a pleasant day visiting Williams.

Ordered a pizza after looking at so many tables having them and they looked good. Unfortunately I don’t eat pork so I asked for the Supreme pizza with substituting it for ground beef. It was HORRIBLE. They took old burnt burgers and put it on top. They were so bland and so hard to eat. Omg, they should be glad I was just hungry and ate what I could, had to pack the rest. Even asked the waiter if it was burgers cut into pieces and he also said yes. They also give you cups in the beginning for you to grab your own water (free) or soda ($3.99ea). I wouldn’t recommend coming here because there are so many other restaurants I passed while walking the strip, and for some reason I chose to go out of way to go there.

When is a charcuterie not a charcuterie? When it's just some sliced cold hilshire farms type sausage and a small handful of thin sliced pepperoni from a bag with some cheese and other fixins! Everything else ok. $21 calzone worth it cause of huge size , tasty crispy crust and good plentiful ingredients. Atmosphere and servers were fine.
