Restaurants in Page, AZ: Where to Eat Near the Canyon

Page is a small town, but it eats well for its size. Most of its restaurants sit along two streets, Lake Powell Boulevard and North Navajo Drive, and the middle of town is less than 10 minutes from Lower Antelope Canyon. Here is where to eat, organized by what you are in the mood for.

Hours in Page change with the seasons, and some kitchens close earlier than you might expect, so check a restaurant's current hours before you go.

Quick picks

Breakfast before your tour

Ranch House Grille on North Navajo Drive is a dependable early breakfast in Page. It is family owned, has been open since 1999, and serves American breakfast all day: omelets, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and the like. It is popular with tour groups, so expect a wait on summer weekends.

If you are staying at Lake Powell Resort, the Rainbow Room serves breakfast and dinner on site.

A tip for early tours: food is not allowed inside the canyon, and between the 45 minute check-in and the 60 to 90 minute tour you will be with us for around two hours. Eat before you check in, or plan an early lunch for afterward.

Navajo food in Page

For Navajo cooking, go to Red Heritage in Dam Plaza on North Navajo Drive. The menu centers on fry bread and Navajo tacos, and dinner comes with an evening performance of Native American flute, storytelling, and dance. Read more in our guide to Navajo dining at Red Heritage.

Barbecue, Mexican, and American favorites

• Big John's Texas BBQ (South Lake Powell Boulevard): Texas-style smoked brisket and barbecue.
• El Tapatio and Fiesta Mexicana (South Lake Powell Boulevard): two Mexican restaurants on the same street.
• Paco's Tacos (South Lake Powell Boulevard): big burritos and a well-loved green salsa, quick enough to grab on the way to the canyon.
• BirdHouse (North Navajo Drive): fried chicken and cold beer.
• Gone West Family Restaurant (South Lake Powell Boulevard): a western-themed family restaurant with American food, a bar, and live bands.
• Dam Bar & Grille (Dam Plaza): a bar and grill named for Glen Canyon Dam, known locally for its homemade blue cheese dressing.

Asian and Indian restaurants

Page has more variety here than most visitors expect:

• Blue Buddha Sushi Lounge in Dam Plaza for sushi.
• Little India on North Navajo Drive for Indian food.
• Dara Thai Express and K-BBQ & Tofu House, both on Elm Street.
• Ah Ma Noodles and Mongolian BBQ on Lake Powell Boulevard.

Dinner with a view

Sunset 89 sits on US Highway 89 and is the place people go for sunset over Glen Canyon. The menu mixes Pacific Rim and American dishes with craft cocktails, and the deck faces west. Tables with a view go fast in peak season, so reserve ahead.

Out at Antelope Point Marina, Jádí'Tooh is a floating restaurant on Lake Powell serving burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Check its hours before you make the drive, especially outside summer.

Something cold after the canyon

After a summer tour, a stop at Canyon Creamery on South Lake Powell Boulevard is hard to argue with. If you would rather keep things simple, Page also has the familiar chains, mostly along Haul Road and US Highway 89.

Planning meals around your tour

• Eat before you check in. Food and bags are not allowed in the canyon, so leave snacks in the car.
• Budget about two hours for the canyon. That covers the 45 minute check-in and a 60 to 90 minute tour.
• Expect waits in peak season. Spring, summer, and fall evenings get busy. Reserve where you can, or eat a little early.
• Go by Arizona time. Restaurants in Page and our tours keep the same clock, even when your phone jumps an hour near the Navajo Nation in summer.
