Good places to eat around the Grand Canyon

[Mulli]

Hi, a friend will be visiting the Grand Canyon in September, I think. He asked me if I knew any decent places to eat around the Grand Canyon. I said I would ask around, but that I didn't think they existed, it is mostly touristy places.

Any thoughts?

I enjoyed breakfast quite a bit at El Tovar. The room we ate in looked over the canyon. We went for new years so there were icicles hanging from the roof and the canyon was full of snow.

Also, several good restaraunts in Williams, AZ just south of the canyon.

I was thinking Williams is the way to go. El Tovar is fine, and about the only choice.

We really enjoyed Pine Country Restaurant in Williams.

It's been a couple of years since I was there but Bright Angel Restaurant has a few window tables that overlook the canyon and is a great people-watching spot. Burgers and wraps kind of menu (nothing fancy) but I've always enjoyed eating there.
