About

Yavapai Tavern is the pub next to Yavapai Lodge, and it's built the kind of following that keeps people talking about one thing in particular: the melted elk burger. It shows up again and again in reviews as the dish to order, and with a 4.0 rating across more than 2,600 Google reviews, it's clearly not a fluke.

What to expect

This is a stone-accented bar with a straightforward pub-grub menu, a rotating list of regional craft beers (try a flight if you want to sample a few), and specialty cocktails. Reviewers consistently mention the homemade salsa served with chips, and there's outdoor seating for anyone who'd rather eat with a canyon-country breeze than watch the game on the bar TVs. On weekends, live music adds to the atmosphere. If the tavern's full, a connected dining hall next door offers additional food options, so a wait here rarely means going hungry.

Price range: $$
Hours: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM daily
Location: Yavapai Lodge, Grand Canyon Village
Order: the melted elk burger, chips and homemade salsa

Service gets mixed marks on busier nights and a couple of reviewers found the salad forgettable, but for a casual, affordable meal inside the park after a day on the rim, this is one of the more dependable stops in Grand Canyon Village.

Abbiamo cenato alla taverna dello Yavapai, dato che abbiamo alloggiato allo Yavapai. Ci sono due menù diversi tra taverna e ristorante, per hamburger e pizze bisogna proseguire e voltare a sinistra dove hanno un menu diverso. Hamburger buoni, da italiani la Pizza era buona come una Speedy pizza. Birra alla Spina locale molto buona anche se non è economica. C’è anche menù bimbi che noi non abbiamo scelto. Personale molto gentile e attento, dispenser di acqua e ghiaccio e bibite. Dato il posto esclusivo pensavamo di spendere molto di più.

A good compromise when visiting the Grand Canyon. The visit takes a long time, so you can stop here for refreshments before your next trip. The dishes are good and plentiful.
