Junction Restaurant
A Navajo-run restaurant in the Best Western hotel in Chinle, serving house-made Navajo stew, fry bread and American home-style dishes.
The restaurant is inside the Best Western Canyon de Chelly Inn on Chinle's main street. It is run by Navajo owners and ranks first in Chinle on TripAdvisor. The spacious, bright dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the menu includes American, Mexican and traditional Navajo dishes. The signature dish is the Navajo taco, with house-made spiced beans, cheese and vegetables on fry bread, and a vegetarian version is available. Other dishes include lamb stew and corn stew served with fry bread or thick tortillas, plus a lamb fry bread sandwich with grilled chili. A Pizza Hut Express is also inside. No alcohol is served. Reviews generally describe the food as solid rather than exceptional, but it is considered the most reliable choice in town. Expect about $15–25 per person.
