Turns out this is a dinner and a show. Nowhere on this Google listing or when we showed up to the place did it indicate there was a show too. Maybe lack of research on our part. We also didnt see the prices anywhere until we sat down to eat. Its $28 per adult for a taco and dessert. Other sides and alcoholic drinks were available as well. The food was underwhelming. The fry bread was soggy and undercooked. The traditional variation was simply fry bread with canned chili (Im pretty sure) on top. Go for the pork if anything. Dessert was a family recipe(?) corn cake which was better than expected. So dont come here for the overpriced food. The entertainment was excellent, the kids had some real talent and was fun to watch. The dancing didnt as long as I had hoped for how much we paid though. I felt it was rather odd, the story of the businesss beginning. The guys father owned a river guide company, then sold that and decided to open up this place, start giving people dinner and now they include local entertainers (musicians and Native kids) for dinner and a show. I do hope those kids are being paid well for their talents. Like others have said, this is a tourist trap. The owners are white, the performers were Navajo (but not the dances apparently) and the food was mediocre. The attraction is just to give foreigners and tourists a "taste" of Native culture. Just simply not worth it.

This place is a gem, made unforgettable by the proprietor and the Navajo performers. The word unique barely covers this fascinating ode to rafting, the Grand Canyon, and Navajo culture. Make no mistake though: the food is humble but very tasty (try the pulled pork!) and the music is delightful. The best part of the evening, however, was the chance to see some of the top-ranked Navajo dancers in the world demonstrate the imagination and power of their routines in full regalia. Also, ignore the reviews that say its a tourist trap. Its just the opposite: a heartfelt establishment aimed at giving a window into Navajo culture to people that wouldnt otherwise get that. And the food is not overpriced, as some reviewers say (the same reviewers who imply that the Navajo arent paid enough for the dancing). The $28 price tag covers the artists hard work, and less than half of it goes to the food.

Très bon restaurant, tout doit être préparé sur place car les plats ont un vrai goût... ça change de la majorité des autres. Le patron est très sympathique et arrangent, une réservation est souhaitable pour être sûr davoir une table. Un lieu restaurant/musée avec une rétrospective de lhistoire des pionniers qui ont "découvert" le Grand canyon et ça "commercialisation". Le prix des plats inclus le show musicale et dance.

Go here. Go here tonight. It is astounding. Great, in fact, the best staff in the state. Cheap drinks, free snacks, tea, bread etc. You pay a premium for the food but you soon see why. 15 bucks goes towards the artists/performers. And oh my... The performers are second to none. But first, the food was excellent. I had the veg chilli but the other stuff looked excellent. The owner, Hoss, is a gentleman. He will make sure you are happy as will everyone else. Then... Oh my... Then the dancing starts. And its astounding. I dont want to say too much but Page, Arizona is an odd place but if youre here, go here. I found out about this place from a lady in the museum. Not through trip advisor, yelp, maps etc. If youre reading this, please go to Into the Grand.

So this place... Is interesting. First of all its a $28 set meal with a free show. Food is pretty tasty but tasted like mexican food except for the fluffy fried bread. I personally like the strawberry chicken. Portion is yugeee and comes with an ok dessert. Night starts with a singer which was decent, and performance of the traditional dances, which is interesting but kinda meh..until the end when Joseph Secody did a very awesome performance. Is it worth 28 bucks? Ehhh on the fence about it. If you have a spare 28 bucks do it. If youre on a budget, maybe not.

A great experience, especially for our kids, too! We have tasted Navajo fry bread in different places during our trip, but the one at Into the Grand was the best, as well as the home made salsa. With great hospitality they present the local specialties and history in an interesting and fun way. The dance show and live music is worth watching, especially with the explansions to it. We recommend going there when in Page.

A truly unique experience of good food, good portions, "colorado cake" for desert is a nice touch, try the Colorado sunrise drink, entertainment, great atmosphere, very friendly staff, clean facilities, ample parking space with a lot of available street parking space available. Need more room here to make mention of all the other unique stuff.... Check it out!

We did read about this restaurant and decided to make a reservation. We were warmly welcome by the host with a handshaking. The food was really great and the show was brillant. It felt a little bit as you are currently a part of the Navajo. I highly recommand this restaurant! Dont forget to make a reservation!

$25 for food and Native American hoop dance performance. Food was sub-par - store-bought tortilla chips and the fry bread was dry and nothing special, service was pretty good, performance was great. Tourist trap but it was an enjoyable time - try to go when the weather is nice so you can sit outside.

We had a very nice evening in this restaurant. The food was tasty and the golden lager and amber ale were great. If you know Hungarian food called Lángos (also known in Czechia and Slovakia as Langoš), the fried bread is exactly the same plus a lot of things on top of it.

Of you like exploring different cultures, this is a great spot. The dancers were entertaining, the owner was super friendly. The live entertainment was interactive. The fry bread was some of 5he best around. The Navajo jewelry for sale afterward was my favorite!

I am Navajo and their Navajo tacos is very good! I enjoyed their live music and their live Native American performances. They performed hoop dancing and jingle dancing with accurate information about Navajos. I would definitely recommend eating here

I was not sure what to expect in the way of food and entertainment. We were very pleased with the food, entertainment and background information on the Navajo people. I highly recommend spending an evening here and, call for a reservation.
