One of the nicest parts of a visit to the Grand Canyon's north rim or to the canyonlands of southern Utah is finding the time to visit Nedra's as well. I fell in love with Nedra's home made salsa during my first visit (as most people probably do) and that was well over 10 years ago. The rest of her homestyle Mexican and western-style cooking are equally as delicous (at least those dishes which I have been lucky enough to try) and I am always looking for a chance to get back to Nedra's whenever I am in the area.
NEDRA'S CAFE is located in Fredonia, Arizona, on the west side of highway US-89A, phone 520-643-7591.
NEDRA'S TOO is locacted in Kanab, Utah at the junctions of US-89 and US-89A, phone 435-644-2030.

About Nedra's...
Nedra was born in Kanab, Utah in 1917, the grand daughter of a Mormon Pioneer who had settled in nearby Paria Canyon. Her mother, Jesiel Brown, opened Brown's 89 House in Kanab in 1940, and thus began a long tradition in fine Southwestern cuisine.
Nedra opened her Cafe in Fredonia, Arizona in 1957, and began serving her own style Mexican food one day a week. Her reputation spread and a demanding clientele soon persuaded her to serve Mexican food full time.
For 40 years Nedra's has enjoyed a reputation for having the best Mexican food around, and has been a favorite stop for countless movie crews and stars. Frequent customers have included James Garner, Vera Miles, Sidney Poitier and Clint Eastwood. Sen. Barry Goldwater has been known to have gallons of Nedra's special sauce flown to his Arizona ranch.
Expansion in 1990 with the opening of Nedra's Too in Kanab, Utah.
Operated now by a daughter, Nedra Pauline, Nedra's Cafes symbolize a three-generation tradition of fine dining.
