Williams rolls up its sidewalks earlier than most towns, but Red Raven is a deliberate exception. Set right on the town's stretch of Historic Route 66, the bistro has earned a following among travelers, locals, and Grand Canyon visitors who plan their day around dinner.

What to Know

  • A bistro on Historic Route 66 in the heart of Williams
  • Chef-driven, seasonally minded plates in an intimate room
  • A favorite of diners traveling between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon

The dining room is small, warm, and unpretentious, and the kitchen takes a chef-driven approach that belies the town's roadside reputation. It is the kind of place where the menu changes with the seasons and the ingredients follow the region.

For anyone spending a night in Williams before or after a Grand Canyon trip, Red Raven turns a Route 66 stop into a real meal: thoughtful cooking, careful service, and a room that feels like a find.

A reservation is a good idea on busy weekends, especially in the summer and fall travel seasons.
