Big E Steakhouse & Saloon

We had dinner at Big E Steakhouse during our visit to the Grand Canyon, and it was a great experience! The food tasted really good and came out fresh. The restaurant was quite busy since we came on a weekend evening, but the service was still friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for a good steak dinner near the Grand Canyon!

This place is amazing! Really don’t understand the low rating it currently has, cause the food is exactly what you expect to get in the stakehouse. We got ribs and medallon and both were incredibly delicious, portions were that big so we had to take a half to go. Also the waiter guy did a half of the job, being so attentive and helpful, thank you so much!!

Stopped by for dinner after a day in the canyon. The restaurant was fairly slow on this Friday evening. The atmosphere was nice and the decor matches the area well. Service was okay and seemed a bit slow. The servers did not appear too welcoming but they weren't rude or inattentive either. We had New York steaks, ribeye, and fettuccine alfredo. The entrees came with steak fries, fresh fruit, sautéed button mushrooms, and a baked potato. Steaks - well-seasoned, decent sear, flavorful, and tender. 2 steaks were slightly undercooked while the other was slightly overcooked. Fettuccine - hot, good portion of sauce, delicious Sides - Fries were not hot. Fresh fruit was soft and translucent, seemed to be a few days old, and flavors were marinated into each other. Potato was fresh and hot. Mushrooms were okay, warm, and could have used a better sear. Overall, we had a good experience. The price was on the higher side after factoring in the inconsistencies with the food and service.

Food around grand canyon generally sucks. Unlike some other national parks because the grand canyon national park is not overly large you do have the options of eating outside the park but they pretty much all suck. However what sets this place apart is the fact they open at 3pm which is way better than other places that close at 3pm because if you go hike in the park 3pm is the perfect time for a meal after hiking. The service is great and I don't know why they seat people at the bar area even when it's not too crowded yet but I think the service is always great. The food is alright especially after hiking but the steak can be much better. The meat is not as good as I would like (Costco has better cuts) but the price is not high so that balance it out. I'd prefer they offer some better cuts even if it's slightly more expensive.

My wife and I sat on the patio with our pup, they are very pet friendly. I had the filet medallions with masked taters n' gravy. The wife has the roasted chicken. Both very good. The steak was very tender the the glaze was very tasty. The chicken had a light BBQ sauce on it and came with zucchini and a baked tater. All good. Great atmosphere. There was even a nice green spot of grass out front for my pup!

French onion soup was excellent! As were the baked potatoes!! New York steak was good ( not great) but the baseball cut steak was NOT …. was terrible ! Service was outstanding ! Enjoyed the beer flight as well… Cool ambience.

This steakhouse is outstanding! The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. You can really tell they use high-quality cuts and know exactly how to prepare them. The sides were just as impressive, with generous portions and just the right balance of flavor to complement the meal. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a true steakhouse experience! Bonus: a great wildlife encounter from our table :)

We decided to Try Big E on Valentine's night after spending the day at the Grand Canyon. We loved the western atmosphere. The greeter was welcoming and very accommodating when I asked for a quieter space. Our server was very attentive and helpful. We ordered potato skins right away, not knowing the steak came with a baked potato and veggie. The potatoskins were great, but huge. It was like 2 whole baked potatoes on the plate! Expect large portion sizes. The 3 3oz filet medallions were tasty, juicy, and very tender. Baked potatos and the carrots were just right. We found the meal good value for money, especially in a location such as this. Definitely recommend.
