Red Rock Cafe

Much to my dismay, our hotel resort in Sedona stops serving breakfast at 11:00 am! I'm sorry, but when I'm on vacation I want to sleep in and enjoy a nice brunch with champagne roughly between the hours of 11:30 am and 12:30 pm. I was able to quickly come up with a Plan B that served breakfast until 2:00 pm and was most highly rated. Red Rock Cafe is an outstanding restaurant that exceeded our expectations. When we arrived the wait for a table was nearly an hour but we stuck it out. I'm sure everything in town was busy during this holiday week. What I appreciated was their use of the wait website or whatever it's called. You can track your time and place in line in real time as you go. I had fun with that.

Service from everyone we encountered could not have been nicer and more genuine. Especially our server Becky who was a dear. I ordered the corned beef hash which was house-made. It was nicely caramelized and super tasty. I bet they have a special hash pan in the kitchen. One of my sunny side egg yolks did pop before it got to the table which presented some unfortunate weepage. It all tasted great nonetheless. Especially the hash browns which were crispy, not overly greasy and such an abundant portion. It was almost hanging over the plate in fact. The "big" sourdough toast on the side was excellent.

Jr FoodObs had a southwest style country fried steak with an essence of chipotle and other things. It was such a combustion of flavor. His English muffin looked perfectly toasted. Lady FoodObs had a nice order of Eggs Benedict that looked great. Again with a bright southwest flair. She also ordered a Bailey's Coffee drink that was expertly balanced. It had a generous amount of Bailey's that helped warm from the inside out. As a side note, Red Rock Cafe features their signature cinnamon roll, roughly the size of a small baby. I saw one at a neighboring table and it was eye-watering! Overall a happy accident that led us here and I'm so glad it did. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Sedona or just passing through.
