The mac and cheese is authentically southern, too. I went for the honey butter chicken and Ben got the spicy version. I want to shout it from the rooftops – this former-Sonic-turned-chicken and beer stand might just make the best fried chicken sandwich ever. Be sure to check their schedule online to see if they will have live music on stage. I went for a Caesar salad with smoked chicken – so good after a day of hiking around Monument Valley. Ben loved the brisket sandwich and corn muffin. It’s impossible to miss the meat smokers and patio while driving down the main street in Page.

Big John’s BBQ – 153 S Lake Powell Blvdīig John brought authentic Texas BBQ to Arizona via this fun little gas station turned BBQ joint.

Ben and I agreed this place had some of the best salsa we’ve ever had at a restaurant. I went for the mole enchiladas – really good and a great value. You can learn about their story on their website. This is the Page location of a small chain of family-owned Mexican restaurants scattered throughout Arizona, Utah and Colorado.

Fiesta Mexicana – 125 S Lake Powell Blvd.

When you visit for yourself, I just know you will understand why these are my picks for the best restaurants in Page, Arizona! Where to Have Coffee Or Eat Breakfast And by and large, these are all family owned businesses. But – I was pleasantly surprised to learn there are some legitimately cool and tasty places to eat here. I figured the meant it wasn’t a foodie kind of place. When doing research for our trip, there didn’t seem to be very much information online about the food options in Page.

(Apparently some of the Real Housewives even came here that one time.) That visitor count is set to climb even higher since Lake Powell was named one of Forbes’ Best Places to Visit in 2020. More than 3 million people visit the lake and the greater Glen Canyon Recreation Area every summer. Lake Powell is known as the houseboat capital of the world for a reason. Yes, it’s that big!

The dam was completed in 1963 but it took 17 years for the lake to fill up. Lake Powell (formed by the Glen Canyon Dam) is the second largest man made lake. However, I get the sense everything changes as soon as April rolls around. While we saw quite a few fellow RVers at campgrounds around town, it was far from busy. We visited Page at the very tail end of the off-season during a late-winter/early spring RV route through the Southwest.
