Whether you’re fueling up for a day in the pines or winding down after a mountain adventure, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel right at home.
Local Roots and a Focus on Quality
The Northern Pines started with a simple goal: bring quality, comfort-driven meals to the heart of Flagstaff. As a locally owned restaurant, it’s been serving the community with pride and purpose since day one. Known for its hand-cut steaks, real butter, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, The Northern Pines blends homestyle favorites with a more refined approach. Satchmo’s seasonings, locally brewed beers, and scratch-made dishes are just a few ways the restaurant keeps things authentic and flavorful.
Inside, the space feels true to Flagstaff. You’ll find local artwork, warm furnishings, and a layout that welcomes families, groups, and solo diners alike. Whether you’re sitting down for a full meal or just enjoying a drink in the lounge, the atmosphere is both relaxed and polished. From its Arizona-forward beer selection to its commitment to quality, The Northern Pines continues to offer a reliable, high-caliber experience that reflects the character of the city it calls home.
Something for Everyone on the Menu
The menu at The Northern Pines is broad but intentional. Breakfast is a local favorite, served all day and loaded with crowd-pleasers like thick-cut French toast, breakfast burritos, and country skillets. For lunch and dinner, you’ll find everything from fresh salads and burgers to ribeye, salmon, and chicken-fried steak. Their homemade green chile is a standout and pops up in several dishes. Drink options include local beer, wine, and a handful of cocktails, so you can keep things casual or make it a night out.
