The Frybread Lounge

Service was excellent, the ambiance was pleasant and comfortable and the food was AMAZING!!! Get the frybread tacos. You will not be disappointed and you will not leave hungry!

Wonderful food, great staff! We had the fry bread appetizer and the bison tacos. My daughter loved both items. She gave the white bean sauce a 10 out of 10. If you want a place with very good food and a more laid back vibe, this is definitely a place to check out.

Really unexpected and exciting to see this in Old Town, so the husband and I couldn't wait to try it when we drove past. Walked in, gorgeous and super friendly host/waitress helped us. Unfortunately we had just eaten dinner elsewhere so we were full. But he got the prickly pear flavored mock tail and I got the blueberry iced tea. Both were delicious- the mock tail was very festive and sweet and the tea was subtly flavorful but not sugary.We then ordered the fry bread dessert- it was incredible. The fluffiest fry bread I've ever had, topped with whipped cream, jam and delicious fresh berries.The whole experience was 10/10- can't wait to try their savory menu which looked very tempting, especially the bison birria.

So so good!! We made a reservation, which was a great idea, since the place was jam-packed!! It's also not too big and it's Saturday night.We started with the Frybread Flight, which consisted of 3 pieces of piping hot frybread and 4 dips...honey, powdered sugar, prickly pear syrup and a white bean dip. They were all wonderful!I decided to try one of their Mocktails, Prickly Pear Refresher. I noticed a lot of reviewers commented on it, so wanted to give it a go. It has prickly pear, lime, agave nectar and Sprite. Not too sweet, a little tangy (from the lime and Sprite) and very refreshing!For our mains, hubby got the Bison Ribeye dinner. It says "for 2", but it was perfect for him. If we had shared, he would've wanted more. I got Celeste's Special (only available Friday-Sunday) which is a Drybread (baked frybread) and Bison Ribeye with Wild Mushrooms. Everything was so delicious! We'll definitely be coming back again. The service was a little slow, but like I said earlier, the place was packed, and our waitress was running around helping other tables. In fact, when we were seated, it was mentioned that the kitchen was running a bit slow. But, when everything was as tasty as our food was, it's easy to look past that. If you're looking for some authentic Indigenous food, I would highly recommend coming in here. We really enjoyed ourselves!!!

Omg frybread here is so delicious. It is fluffy and thick. I could eat them all day without any toppings. Their homemade bean paste is tasty. The bison meat is flavorful. The wild mushroom tacos are wonderful. Mushrooms are soft and tasty. Mushroom, taco, and the sauce are perfect combinations. I need to go back to try a dessert.

Enjoyed this first visit. The fry bread in all forms was delicious. The flight is probably my favorite. The service was great. They were attentive and the space was cool and clean. If you haven't tried it, you must check it out. Support this local indigenous owned business!

We were bummed that some of the Frybread places we had bookmarked weren't open on Friday but we were luckily able to find Frybread Lounge not too far from where we were staying. I was super excited to see a unique bison ribeye frybread and we went immediately for lunch. They opened in August 2024 and are pretty new.Location is in Old Town Scottsdale and the store right next to it is their sister-store and also native owned. We popped into that store and heard the flute player tell patrons that both stores have raised over 3 million that have gone back to the Native Community. Both are worth checking out for good food, souvenirs, coffee beans, and some local history.Blue Corn Mush: Mashed Blue corn, maple syrup, with berries on top. They saw we brought the kids and brought us a free one. Had a nice light flavor and wasn't overly sweet.Bison Ribeye Frybread Sandwich Special: The frybread is INSANE. Chef Montana let me watch them fry it from the little order window and it was cool to see the process. It reminds me of a Youtiao/Chinese-donut, crispy outside with a soft and fluffy inside. The interesting thing my wife and I found was it was not too greasy and we did not feel groggy and tired after. Bison has a different taste from beef, its leaner and slightly sweeter and I wish cuts like this were more available where we live.Frybread Chili taco: Ground bison meat with beans. With lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and salsa. My wife loved this and so did the kids. Cocktails: Fantastic and delicious, they out a lot of care into the drinks. When I asked why the sage looked so odd they said they beat them to get some of the oils out to amplify the taste.Meal here was the finest one we had in all of Arizona and we've already recommended it to a lot of our friends traveling to the Phoenix and Scottsdale area!

Visiting family in Arizona and we came out for dinner to try this newly opened restaurant. It's festively decorated for the holidays which was cute to see.Staff were friendly and we were able to chat with our server as it wasn't too busy. The same family also owns the store next to the restaurant. For my meal, I ordered the Ribeye Frybread Sandwich special. It was a huge sandwich and packed with flavor - so good. I also tried the Prickly Pear Refresher mocktail which I really enjoyed.Delicious Native American fusion food with great service. I plan on visiting again the next time I'm back on the west coast!

What a unique experience. First time for us to try bison and elk. We waited by the door reading the menu and someone from the restaurant came and spoke to us. We were glad they did because we changed our original dinner plans to dine here. We got the frybread taco with ground bison meat and the blue corn porridge. They also offered us a sample of the elk pozole since they had a special and we were curious about the taste. Our favorite of the night turned out to be the pozole with the frybread for dipping in it. I hope they make it a regular on the menu. Service overall was friendly and kind. Ambiance is great for date night!What a great addition to this neighborhood. I wish the best for this restaurant and really really want it to do well!

Amazing food. The bison is seasoned perfectly and the rest of the food is all around high quality and fresh. I would definitely recommend the Bison Asada Tacos they were amazing and the Fry Bread Tacos were good too. The drinks are fruity and fresh as well. Service is amazing too, they forgot my drink and were very apologetic and quick to solve the issue. And overall the staff is just very kind and focused on the customers enjoyment. Ambiance wise the place is small and cozy and feels like a modern family owned restaurant.
