Crema's Take

Northern Pines Restaurant in Flagstaff is a bustling independent spot that's earned its reputation through genuinely excellent food across all dayparts, from their standout breakfast menu to memorable dinner entrées like their BBQ Brisket Parm sandwich that keep visitors coming back the next morning. The place has a welcoming, dog-friendly atmosphere that matches its quality—reviewers consistently praise the care put into details like perfectly cooked bacon and fresh ingredients, even if you might wait a bit and spend a little extra for the privilege. It's the kind of place where the crowds tell you everything you need to know, filled with both locals and travelers who've made it a family favorite after just one visit.

You can tell a place is good when it's busy, and this place is busy. We only had to wait 5 - 10 minutes to be seated. I had grabbed a couple of menus while we waited, so we were pretty much ready to order when we sat down. The service was great! And the food delicious. I had the Northern Pines Eggs Benedict with a side of hash browns. The eggs were wonderful, the hollandaise sauce was great, and the hash browns perfectly done. Definitely a recommendation to stop here.

Food was SO good!! We are from Utah and were driving through and stopped here, so happy with that decision!! The wait was a bit long and the food is on the pricier side but SOOOOO GOOD!!!!! Can't wait to stop here on our way back!

It was our first time in Flagstaff and we wanted to grab lunch, we saw that goggle had reviews that this place was dog friendly and it did not disappoint. Not only was the food delicious our two dogs were welcome inside! Our dogs sat down next to us while we had lunch with our toddler and the staff there was amazing! Would definitely visit again.

A New Family Favorite! We visited Northern Pine for dinner and loved it so much we came back for breakfast the next morning. Dinner Highlights: I had the BBQ Brisket Parm sandwich—the meat was incredibly flavorful and filling, but the bread was honestly the star of the show! For the kids, we ordered the Mac & Cheese. The portion is huge; it was plenty for my two kids (both under 6) to share, and it even reheated perfectly the next day. We finished with the French Silk Pie, which was hands-down a family favorite. We’d honestly go back just for the pie alone! Breakfast Highlights: Since dinner was so good, we returned the next day. The Banana Pecan Caramel French Toast was out of this world. It had a perfect balance of sauce to toast and wasn’t overly sweet. We also tried the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes, and they were by far the best I’ve ever had. Even the kids were happy—they both cleared their entire plates of Mouse pancakes. Great food, generous portions, and very kid-friendly. We will definitely be back!

This restaurant has a really strong breakfast menu, though they also serve lunch and dinner. I ordered the bacon, eggs, and toast, and everything was really good. The bacon especially surprised me, I usually hate soft bacon and always prefer it crunchy,and this one was soft, like all restaurants, but this was actually really yummy and cooked perfectly. The apple cider was also really good, easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. The waiter was the sweetest person ever! The atmosphere was cozy and warm, which made it a really nice place to sit and eat. Overall, it was a great place to eat and I’d definitely go back if I visit FlagStaff.
