Surprisingly bad - Edit
After bringing a group of 8 here because they had vegan options, ordering the $28 veggie platter, and receiving what could be given no more gracious of a description than "unseasoned grilled veggies," many undercooked, I was embarrassed... both for everyone at our table that ordered this (not all vegans) and the owner/chef that let four separate plates leave the kitchen. I was even more embarrassed to have to bring this up to the server and manager, who likely have no say in the menu.
Read moreHere is what we were served:
One baked potato, plain and unseasoned
One undercooked piece of broccoli, unseasoned
Two well cooked pieces of asparagus, unseasoned
One tamale, dry and bland
Two or three long sliced half undercooked carrots, unseasoned
Two half's of a single Brussels sprout, basically out of the fridge. Could barely bite into it
Half an ear of grilled corn, it was fine
A single grilled pepper.... It was a grilled pepper
When I expressed our disappointment with the food (something I've never done) I was told this dish gets "very good reviews." I asked if he would eat this dish, he said "well, I'm not vegan." He offered to comp the meal and give us a free dessert, I said I'd be happy to pay for a dessert, but inquired what vegan desserts they had. He, appearing to have realized there weren't any, said he would go back and check. He then disappeared, never to return, and our waiter came and took all our uneaten plates away, brought us the bill, and that was that. Half the group, non vegans, were happy with their meal, but everyone agreed our plates were extremely underwhelming. Even the person who ordered the vegetarian version of this platter only ate the tamale.
My guess is for their vegetarian dishes they rely heavily on cheese for flavor, and for vegans they just omit all dairy with no substitutes, which leaves barely grilled veggies on the plate.
I've never had a worse meal in any restaurant at any price point. We were polite, and tipped based on the original price of the meal, even though service was just ok. They ended up getting $45 from us for two drinks and an uneaten plate of mostly inedible cheap vegetables. Painful.
We drove the hour back to flagstaff and had leftover cheap pizza for dinner... it was 10x better than what we were served at The Turquoise Room.
Pros: none
Cons: undercooked, no seasoning, bottom dollar meal at top dollar prices

Disappointment - Edit
Is the historic setting wonderful, yes, but I do not know if I have ever been more disappointed in a meal. Having previously eaten at the Turquoise Room as a vegetarian, I was excited to see the vegetable platter could be made vegan. It had been over 10 years, but I have vivid memories of that being very good. The tamale was okay, but the rest of it was low quality - grilled veggies with no or minimal seasoning and no sauces. There were no substitutes for vegan vs vegetarian - ex: no stuffing in a poblano pepper. Wish I had taken a picture to show you all, because it was truly an embarrassing offering for fine dining. Another person ordered the vegan salad and that looked great, which made me even more confused as to why there was no effort for the vegan vegetable platter. Do not advertise something as can be made vegan unless it is good. P.S. two other people in my party ordered the same thing and were equally disappointed.

Sit down and enjoy - Edit
This 1930’s historical building is a wonderful side trip. Right in historical section of Winslow with views watching trains go by. Lovely grounds!
Read moreUsually would ask Happy Cow to remove a location with only one vegan option, but the option was labeled vegan and is wonderful. Look at all the well thought out ingredients. ❤️❤️
Not fast food option. Expensive salad, but again really good and seriously can’t be picky (as a vegan) in this part of the country. Enjoy lunch and then walk around to learn more about the history of the building.
