“Very good steak!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013 via mobile

Don't let the outside of the location fool you! It's a great restaurant with even better food for a good price. Steak and the salmon were delicious! We would definitely come back on our next road trip!

“So yummy you won't want to eat the rest of the day!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Don't judge a book by its cover - but we understand it's changing that cover. Inside you'll find one of the most delicious breakfasts in Northern Arizona!! My husband had basic eggs and bacon with a side of biscuits and gravy. I don't think he spoke throughout the meal. My son had the Eggs and Trout Benedict. He took one... More

“Don't even bother!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

My husband and I went there a couple nights ago. I decided to try it because their menu looked good and the reviews were good. I don't know if the cook was off because I don't think our food could have been worse. First my husband ordered the pecan salmon. Hard to find the salmon under the mound of toppings.... More

“Disappointing.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2013 via mobile

The menu looked so promising!... So many great choices, but the food was sub-par, one person at our table had to send their dish back to be cooked more. My food wasn't bad, but it really wasn't good either. Maybe average would be the fairest description. The place was empty and service wasn't great either.

“Excellent food, friendly atmosphere, great service, good prices”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2013

Family members are spread out across Arizona so we decided to meet in Flagstaff for a reunion of sorts. We chose Northern Pines because of its convenient location to the interstate since we were coming from opposite locations. The atmosphere is warm and inviting; the fire place added a wonderful touch which felt good on a cold day. It got... More

“Worst crepe I have had in my life.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2013 via mobile

We stopped here on our way to the Grand Canyon. I ordered the berry crepe which sounded quite good. It was the worst I have ever had. My mother in law ordered the same thing and she called it cold and rubbery. She was being nice. When the waitress came around to ask how everything was we said we did... More

“Bacon Vegetable Soup is divine, but the chicken made my husband vomit”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2013

We went to eat at The Northern Pines restaurant on 12/27/2012 thanks to recommendations on TripAdvisor. This place looks like a dive from the outside, but, on the inside, you find cozy decor and a lovely fire. Sheena, our waitress, was a rockstar. When I asked about their soup selection, she recommended the bacon vegetable soup with the sandwich and... More

“Great Service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2013

This restaurant was next door to our motel and we were tired after driving all day so we took a chance. It was good. I was impressed with the chef when he sent the waitress back to ask me if I would rather have the rye bread grilled instead of toasted. (so much better that way!) Breakfast was great too.... More
