2545 W Sr 89a, Sedona, AZ 86336
Favorite Steak
This is a new favorite for us located .8 mile (4 min drive) from the condo on 89A. We love the cozy vibe and attentive staff from the bartenders to the servers. We enjoy the New York Strip Steak with Mushroom Gorgonzola with a side (we like the rice or mashed potatoes). It is cooked and portioned perfectly!

Favorite Healthy Meal
This restaurant has 6 locations throughout Phoenix and one in Sedona. It's a favorite when we feel like we need something healthy after a day of hiking. They have a full, vegan menu and everything is gluten-free except the pizza dough (which they can do). The food is delicious. There is a full-service bar. And the staff is always attentive. They have a nice outdoor patio with a firepit.

241 N State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336
Favorite Old West Feel
We've been going to the Cowboy Club for more than 20 years. It reminds us of a wild west restaurant. Cell phones used to be prohibited to ensure diners were fully immersed in the dining experience, but they have since relaxed that rule. Our kids tried fried rattlesnake here. And the cactus fries with prickly pear dipping sauce is an absolute must! Full-service bar and the service is excellent.
2245 W State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336
Favorite Pizza Spot
This is one of our go-to casual favorites for pizza and gelato. Just 4 min drive minutes from the condo (1.1 mile), it's a chill place to grab take-out, sit at a table, or grab a spot at the bar and watch the production of dozens of pizzas being prepared for pick-up (quite impressive!). Our favorite is the Funghi Decadente.
2655 W State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336
Favorite Sandwich Shop
Located in front of Gerardo's Pizza, this deli has great sandwiches easy for lunch (try the pastrami or Reuben!) with dine-in or quick take out. They also have gelato and a small bar with local brews and some cool art/decor.
