Places to Eat in Lakeside, AZ

You might not think that a National Forest would be home to a huge choice of food and dining options, but in fact, the Lakeside, Rainbow Lake, and Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ areas are home to a wide variety of restaurant choices. After a long day of skiing or hunting, stop on by a classic little hot dog stand or one of our fancier steakhouses and wine bars. We’ve made a list of some of our favorite spots below. There are even a few that are just a short walk away from Rainbow Lake Retreat and great for kids. Contact us if you have any questions!
