About

Red Raven Restaurant is a small, art-filled dining room on Williams' Historic Route 66, and it's built a serious local reputation — 4.5 stars across 1,665 Google reviews. The space is intimate, packed with antiques and eclectic decor, and the menu leans globally inspired rather than standard steakhouse fare, though steak is very much on it.

What to order

Reviewers consistently point to the bacon-wrapped filet mignon with a lettuce wedge and blue cheese dressing, the roasted half chicken with asparagus and rice, and a asparagus or beef-and-veggie soup to start. Dessert gets its own fan club: the Chocolate Trilogy (layered white, milk, and dark chocolate mousse) and a lemon blueberry cake both come up often. Not everything lands for everyone — a few diners have found seafood dishes inconsistent — so it's a safer bet leaning into the kitchen's steak and poultry strengths.

Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 4:00-8:30 PM; closed Sunday and Monday
Price range: $$$
Location: 135 Historic Rte 66, Williams, AZ, walkable from downtown

Reservations are genuinely worth making, especially on weekends — walk-ins do get seated but can face a wait. It's a solid pick for a proper sit-down dinner in Williams before or after a day at the canyon or a ride on the Grand Canyon Railway.

Passing through Williams Arizona, I was under-dressed, which is saying something. Refreshing, actually. I ordered the ribeye rare, and without skipping a beat, my waiter asked if I'd prefer it black-and-blue. Also refreshing. I was not disappointed. I had the iceberg wedge salad and the horseradish mashed potatoes. The salad was quite perfect, the potatoes would benefit from more horseradish. I like horseradish especially with beef. :-)

This was our third time coming here over the past few years. We come for special occasions. We absolutely love the duck with the cranberry sauce, the temporary broccolini, and the lamb. The lamb was perfectly cooked and perfectly salted and seasoned. The sauce for the duck dish is what makes it absolutely delicious. The temporary broccolini is really good. The asparagus is really good. I tried their sangria at this time and that was delicious and reasonably priced at $11 Hayley recommend making reservation reservations though they do take walk-ins when they’re able. By far some of the best food we’ve had since living in Northern arizona for the past eight years. Both the hostess and the servers were excellent. We also had the side salad with ginger miso dressing (delicious), rice pilaf, and red roasted potatoes. The potatoes would be good if they were a little crisper on the outside but even soft they are still good. The tres chocolate dessert had perfect texture and richness. Very good meal.
