Arches & Canyons

 

Williams, AZ - Rod's Steak House

Rod's Steak House is world famous, and receives glowing praise in one of my favorite road trip books, the appropriately titled "Road Trip USA".  That was enough of an excuse for me to stop.

Rod's dining room has a unique feeling.  It's like a time capsule of sorts, taking you back to 66's heyday.  The menu comes in the shape of a steer, the tee-shirts are affordable, and the sugar-dipped steak is the perfect end to a day on the road.

The Grand Canyon is still a good hour's drive away, and I made the rest of the trip in darkness. 

You can spend the night at one of several motels in Williams, or head on up AZ-64 to the Grand Canyon.  There are a number of places to stay in Tusayan, just outside the park gates.

You can find a good bargain on a motel room inside the park, if you plan ahead.  But arriving after dark can be difficult: there are virtually no street lights inside the park.

In 1966 my wife and I had the unforgettable experience of eating in Rod's Steak House. We still have the menu we got from them and wish we were there ordering off of it, especially at those prices! While we were dining, our waitress told us to watch the table of 6 that was next to us. Apparently one of the men ordered their steak well done. When it was served to him, the waitress lifted the lid off the plate and there was an old leather boot on it. We were told that that was what Rod thought of well-done steak. Everyone really got a good laugh at that! We're hoping to ride along Rt. 66 and eat at Rod's again.
