Family restaurants open late?

Hello! I am looking at a UFO tour that lasts 5:30-8:30. So that we don't have to have dinner at 4:30 are there any restaurants you can recommend that stay open a little later for a family with 3 teenagers? All the restaurants I've found close by 9. It will be a weekday next week. Thank you!

In Sedona, most family-friendly restaurants tend to close around 9 PM, which can be tight if your UFO tour runs until 8:30 PM. However, there are a few options that stay open later or have extended hours for takeout or casual dining, which can accommodate a family with teenagers.

Here are some options to consider:

  • The Hudson: This casual American restaurant in West Sedona offers a diverse menu and typically stays open until 9 PM or slightly later on weekdays. Their large portions are good for families, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
  • Elote Cafe: Highly recommended for Southwest cuisine. While they may close at 9 PM, it’s worth calling ahead to see if you can get a slightly later seating, especially for a smaller weekday crowd.
  • Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen: This family-friendly spot often stays open until 9 PM or later and offers pizza, pasta, and salads, which appeal to teenagers.
  • Hideaway House: Known for casual dining with pizza and pasta options, sometimes open until 9:30 PM. They have a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere and a nice view of Sedona.
  • Takeout or delivery options: Places like Wildflower Bread Company or local pizzerias can provide takeout that you could pick up before your tour and enjoy afterward at your lodging.

Additional tips:

  • Call ahead to confirm exact closing times for the day of your visit, as weekday hours can vary seasonally.
  • Consider picking up a quick snack or light dinner before the tour if your preferred restaurant cannot accommodate a late seating.
  • Some hotels or VRBO rentals in Sedona have kitchenettes, so grabbing takeout or preparing a light meal after your tour is another flexible option.

In summary, your best bet is to either select a restaurant with confirmed late hours or plan for takeout that you can enjoy after your UFO tour, ensuring your family won’t go hungry after 8:30 PM.
