Story

Tinderbox Restaurant was the first elevated-cuisine restaurant on the south side of downtown Flagstaff. Owner Kevin Heinonen has received multiple accolades for his renovation of Tinderbox and companion restaurant concepts The Annex Cocktail Lounge and Tourist Home. Together, all three concepts were the first to bring a sense of “specialness” to the Southside. Chef Schmitz serves up well-executed spins on reimagined American fare: sweet corn bisque with lump crab, chili oil and cilantro ($10); robust mussels with house chorizo, white wine broth, cilantro sprouts and baguettes ($14); pork belly with cheddar grits, pickled vegetables and balsamic reduction ($10); potato crusted grouper with garlic-braised rainbow chard, tomato lobster broth and crispy leeks ($20); pork porterhouse—bone-in chop, bourbon-peach bbq sauce, warm mustard potato salad, baked beans, creamy coleslaw ($22) and many other starters, entrees, sides and shares. “Tinderbox Kitchen is at the epicenter of the Flagstaff culinary awakening.” —New York Magazine. “Best Restaurants in Flagstaff,” Arizona Republic.

Was not impressed. With dirty plates, sub-par food, over priced drinks and a college bar atmosphere you would expect more from a restaurant charging the same as a 4 star restaurant. You will get a better experience at a red lobster with half the cost.

I've spent almost every major occasion in my life over the last few years celebrating at Tinderbox. I started going with my best friends (almost by accident) and it turned into our favorite pace to be in Flagstaff. In fact, we now joke that we drive up for dinner at Tinderbox and Flagstaff is just an excuse. From birthdays to New Year's Eve dinners to tearful just because dinners with those we love, it has become a part of our friend-story. Not only is the food delicious - always- and the service top notch, but Kevin and his team make every experience special for all their guests. Even the everyday, ordinary ones. Can't wait to see what the fall and winter menu holds for us!

First time at the restaurant with 3 others. Very excited about eclectic & interesting menu! 2 folks had salmon, good but under seasoned. 1 had grouper, very good but Swiss chard side was way over-salted. Both entrees we're on the smallish size... Beets with creme fraishe was excellent... Special was scallops. One of my favorite foods. When server brought it to the table, looked beautiful. But was barely warm. They did reheat it, but served a total of 3 medium sized scallops for $28!!! Even the Garlic mashed potatoes was a small serving & we all know how expensive potatoes are?! But they were tasty... Considered dessert because we were all still hungry - but saw another table have a tiny dessert for $10, said forget it. Too bad, will never go back due to overpricing & ridiculous small servings...

There's nothing wrong with this place. It's an upmarket restaurant for older couples. I read my book and ate my dinner and I left without any huge impressions. The tempura vegetables were more 'beer battered' than tempura. The staff were just that little bit too ingratiating, for this European's tastes. I think that happens when a restaurant wants to be taken seriously. The mac cheese and brisket was fine, but I should know better than to have brisket outside of Texas. What was I thinking?

Everything on the menu is fantastic. The staff are even better. They will make sure you get what you want and still surprise you. This is such a wonderful little restaurant that is perfect for any occasion. A must try... More than once!
