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.

We had a group of 10. I had the asparagus soup for an appetizer. It was a little spicy but not too spicy - excellent. My entree was the duck which was excellent. The duck was tender and not over cooked. Both the accompanying rice and asparagus were good. My wife had the shrimp tempura which she liked very much. The shrimp was tender and nicely cooked. We were happy with our meals. Three in the group said their entrees were overcooked. The remaining 5 were happy with their meals. 3 out of 10 with issues led to the 4 rating for the food. The service was excellent and professional. The atmosphere was pleasant with many interesting antiques and decorations.

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. :-)

Outstanding! Greeted and seated when entering. The restrauant was immaculate! Very well presented. The linen table clothes were fresh and crisp. The napkins were of the same quality. Table ware of fine quality as well. We accepted as very causal tourists. To say the least we were well qualified for a drive thru. The extra touchs as the refind water glasses and salt and pepper shakers. These nice touches were through out the venue. Our waiter , my apologies for not capturing his name provided superior edicate and patience. He truly treated us as Guests. His recommendations were excellent in capturing our pallets. The kitchen staff prepared and presented each meal as a piece of art. Everything was deliciously Devine. Where one closes their eyes to fully experience the crafted flavor of each bite. The desserts are equally presented as a work of art. Incredibly delicious, causing one to stop and enjoy the craftsmanship flavor. A wonderful experience after a day in Williams. A Gem, A Treasure, one needs to experience when in Williams. Thank you for the experience.

Charming atmosphere. Reservations are suggested, especially at busy times. Call ahead, you may luck out and get table right away. My server was friendly and had some great suggestions. I had the bacon wrapped filet mignon, with the lettuce wedge and asparagus. Oh my gosh! So good! The filet was perfectly cooked with just right amount of salt and peppercorn. The blue cheese dressing is so good. The asparagus was tender yet crispy. Then, after this extremely satisfying meal, I had the Chocolate Trilogy. What a great finish to such a great meal. Layers of white chocolate mousse, milk chocolate mousse and dark chocolate mousse. So delicious! I can't wait to bring my wife to experience this herself. I'm telling my friends and anyone heading this way. 5/5

On Route 66 and delish. It closes 8:30 so keep in mind if in town. The steaks were really good - NY peppered and chimichurri Ribeye. Generous portions - great service n very cute ambiance
