| - The Fry Bread House is a tough place to figure out. We've been to this establishment three times at two locations [they didn't add a 2nd restaurant - it was a relocation], and now according to the lady behind the counter they are moving yet again in February. On our previous visit, they had been open at this property for only 3 months - now they are packing up to move yet again. I'd rather of course that the Owners find success wherever the are, but maybe deep down I'm kinda just a little bit more hopeful now because I think it'll work out better for the Owners in the long run to take this saloon outa Dodge. This current venue lacks personality and reads more like a big generic cafeteria or meeting hall. The awesome food deserves a better context. We hope The Fry Bread House can find the charm and magic of their first location, where we first waited in a line out the door.
Their food is fantastic. They won a freakin' James Beard "America's Classics" award designation in 2012 - totally true. Google it. It is a very big deal. I've had their green chili beef stew (awesome), their green chili beef taco with beans (fabulous), and most recently their ultimate fry bread taco with the red chili beef. The green chili is definitely hotter than the red, but the red has great flavors with just the right amount of heat. I love them both but my favorite bite here is always the rich, smooth and oh so decadent refried beans. Love the beans.
My kids always devour the coyote coins, which are little fry bread circles served with their signature refried beans smothered in cheese. So simple but so good. On our most recent visit my son left the coyote coins to my daughter and had the Cheese crisp on chumuth, which he loved as well. Also very simple.
Love this place, wherever they locate. Let's all do our part to keep this treasure in business. And thriving.
