The Havasupai Tribal Cafe — Restaurant in Kanab

There were a few hundred different people who hiked up, early, on their exit day just to have breakfast before finishing the long uphill hike or taking the helicopter out. Unfortunately the owners decided not to open because (according to other tribe members) they were too hung over that day.. all of them. There was no sign they'd be closed or any indication of it. Most people waited and waited only for the doors to never open. We smelled food being cooked at one point but I guess they were feeding themselves. By 9:30ish most of the people who were relying on a meal before the 10 mile uphill hike were forced to do it hungry which is extremely dangerous in itself (especially carrying 40 pounds on their backs). It also forced us to hike when the temperatures reached nearly 100 degrees vs having left earlier to beat the heat. The people waiting on the helicopter (it's an all day wait) sat outside with no food from dawn till 4pm-ish (that's how long you'll wait for the helicopter and not many people had any food left, assuming their last meal could be a hot one before flying out).

Don't bother with the food here and do not assume or rely on it at any time. How sad is it that a "business" can operate like it's run by literal children who are too drunk and hung over to do their jobs (apparently it was ALL the staff?). How sad of an impression is that of what really amounts to the most interaction many will receive with tribal members. Never again and fair warning to anyone reading this.

Also, expect to pay an absurd amount of money for your food. I was ok with that originally but looking back the only reason it tastes good is because all of the diners have just hiked 10 miles with heavy packs. Hunger is the greatest spice could never be a truer statement. Most of the staff is very rude and seem to severely and openly dislike...

The food was fast given how busy they were. We arrived around 8 am but many others trickled in behind us around 10 or 11 which was when we had decided to visit the cafe. Most people appeared to visit the cafe when they arrived so we waited for maybe 10 minutes before getting the food we ordered. At least three other families were sitting inside at the tables eating or waiting in food.

The BEST Coca-Cola I have ever had was at this restaurant. I'm not sure if the mixture was correct or if I just found it That refreshing but the food was that much better too after 10-12 miles.

I will say, the food is slightly expensive compared to your typical fast food restaurant. We spent about $40 for three meals but truly, it's more of a sit down refreshing meal than a fast food place and you don't have many options when you're 130 miles from the nearest town so the price does make sense in that light. I'm...

When we first hiked up, there was a sign on the door saying that they were closed until their next delivery, which was a bummer (but considering the fact that all their supplies is delivered via mule or helicopter, it was understandable.)

Luckily, the on our second day, we heard they were open, and we B-lined it there for lunch, and we were glad we did. I don’t know if it was because we were hungry for “real” food, but it was fantastic. I had their grilled cheese sandwich with French fries, and a strawberry lemonade (with real strawberries in it) I also had some bomb fry bread with powdered sugar.

The only “complaint” is that there was only one trash can in to discard your trash, and it was so full to the point that trash was spilling into the floor. I had to leave my tray with all the paper plates on top because I had no...
