Reuben Heflin Restaurant

I felt like they sucked me in with the promise of Native American food. Other than fryed Navajo bread, I didn't see or under stand anything on the menu to be Native American. The food I had was good, I just felt like I was in some kind of Americanized version of what the restaurant should have been. Waitress was good but had way too many tables so refills didn't happen and everything was slow. Had to go to the gift shop to pay and that line took 10 or 15 minutes not because the line was long but because of some weird system of recording all the sales on paper. Very strange flow for a restaurant.

The Reuben Heflin Restaurant is located inside the Hampton Inn in Kayenta, AZ. We used Kayenta as a base to explore Monument Valley. My dad and I both enjoyed the Navajo Tacos—they were some of the best I’ve ever had, and I should know, having grown up in New Mexico surrounded by Indian pueblos. The hotel also uses the same space to serve breakfast in the morning. Prices were reasonable, and the service was very good. Note that no alcohol is served in this restaurant and is generally not sold in the area.

What a fantastic spot! We visited just once and were beyond impressed with the food, atmosphere, and service. There was only one server managing the entire restaurant, and she did an incredible job keeping everything running smoothly — truly impressive! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a lot of dishes, and every single one was packed with flavor. Hands down, this is the best restaurant with amazing food and service near Monument Valley. If you're traveling through the area, this place is an absolute must-visit!

This may be the best food between Bluff and Flagstaff. We visit here often. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is well prepared and has reasonable portions. Note, you are within the Navajo reservation, so there are no alcoholic beverages. Don’t be a jerk about it.

Came here after a sunset tour in Monument Valley and this was one of the few places open past 8pm. We made the right choice. Tucked away in the lobby of the Hampton Inn, this restaurant serves delicious traditional Native American food, Mexican food, and American food. We had the green chile stew and grilled salmon and both dishes were flavorful and hearty. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Try the butternut squash soup, it was very soothing after a long day of hiking and sightseeing.
