Mesa Grill at the Sedona Airport
Mesa Grill sits on top of Airport Mesa, sharing the plateau with the Airport Mesa Vortex viewpoint — which means the patio is the only restaurant in Sedona that gets the full 360-degree red-rock panorama. Casual Southwestern menu, breakfast through dinner, and small planes taxiing past the windows. Sunset window books up; weekday lunch is the easy hit.
Why we send guests here
1185 Airport Rd, on top of Airport Mesa — eight minutes from our West Sedona rentals and the same drive as the Airport Mesa Vortex viewpoint. Southwestern grill: blue-corn pancakes at breakfast, prickly-pear-glazed pork chop at dinner, a serious burger at lunch. The view is the headline — floor-to-ceiling glass and a patio facing east over the entire red-rock corridor — but the kitchen is honest and the wait staff have worked here for years. Order the prickly pear margarita and the elk meatloaf if it is on the special board. When to go: weekday lunch on the patio when the wait is zero, or a sunset reservation booked two weeks out (the patio sun-side fills first). Watch the small planes land — Sedona Airport is one of the most scenic regional strips in the country and active enough that something is always taxiing. $30–$60 per person depending on the meal. Walk the vortex viewpoint loop before or after.
