The Fry Bread House, the Phoenix restaurant that, in 2012, won the James Beard Foundation’s America’s Classics award honoring legendary, family-owned restaurants across the country, is moving.
Opened in 1992 by Cecelia Miller of the Tohono O’odham Nation, the place the Beard Foundation recognized for its “timeless appeal” currently is located on North Seventh Avenue near Indian School Road. But soon, all that will change.

According to Indian Country Today, Miller and her son and general manager Michael Perry will move The Fry Bread House sometime in August to bigger digs at 1003 East Indian School Road, the former home of Pancho’s Mexican Buffet.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
The Fry Bread House, known for its delectable chewy and flaky fry bread topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients such as chorizo, chiles, and, in its dessert version, butter and chocolate, has been in its current location for 13 years.
Indian Country Today goes on to say when The Fry Bread House opened in 1992, it had just three items on the menu, and that Miller’s daughter, Sandra, says her mom made $50 on opening day.
