What’s a beer garage? apparently it’s a restaurant with a car inside. South Rims Wine and Beer Garage has a real ’67 Pontiac GTO right inside the front door. It’s a thing of beauty but a shame that no one gets to drive it. The restaurant has several sections to it. There’s the front patio,… Continue reading South Rims Wine and Beer Garage

Cruiser’s Cafe 66
Located in Williams, AZ right on Rt 66, we were sucked in by the kitschiness of it. It looks like part gas station and garage and part restaurant and gift shop. Everything associated with Rt 66 adorns the walls. There was live entertainment too. It looked like a fun place, unfortunately the food was not good. … Continue reading Cruiser’s Cafe 66
The Station 66 Italian Bistro
Station 66 Italian Bistro was, by far, the best dining experience of our trip through northern Arizona. I loved everything about this place.

Wine and beer flights are available for $15… Continue reading The Station 66 Italian Bistro

But, what they… Continue reading Big Dipper Ice Cream & Yogurt

The beet salad ($7, half order) suffered from too much of the lemon basil vinaigrette and not enough beets or goat cheese. The patty in the Cowboy… Continue reading State 48 Tavern
Big E Steakhouse & Saloon
Last June, at the end of the school year I took my kid on a trip through northern Arizona, with the first stop a two night camping trip in the Grand Canyon. Even though I love camping, I don’t love cooking while camping. So, one night we headed into town to find the best fare… Continue reading Big E Steakhouse & Saloon
Fat Olives
This place was a great little find during our road trip from the east coast to Vegas. Yet another long day of driving led me to order take out. The place is small with a tiny parking lot difficult to maneuver. Luckily, the food is worth it. They don’t skimp on portion sizes for the… Continue reading Fat Olives
