How did Fred Harvey service at its Grand Canyon hotels differ from aboard Santa Fe trains? We have an answer thanks to the New York Public Library, which has menus from the El Tovar Hotel from 1921, 1949, and 1953, and one from Bright Angel Lodge from 1953.

I’ll skip the 1921 menus for now as I don’t have any 1921 Santa Fe menus to compare them with. This 1949 menu looks much like a Santa Fe menu of that era, with a table d’hôte side and an a la carte side. The big difference is that it has eight entrées instead of the five found on most dining car menus of the time. These entrées, which are on both side of the menu, include salmon, omelette, calves liver, lamb, ham, turkey, prime ribs, and shrimp.

By 1953, the number of entrées has fallen by one, and this particular menu includes halibut, omelette, veal, turkey, chicken, calf liver, and beef brisket. The lamb appears to have been dropped.

This 1953 lunch menu from Bright Angel Lodge has only four main entrées plus a couple of “luncheon specials.” The entrées are rock bass, scrambled eggs, tamales and chili, and turkey wings, while the specials are corned beef hash and cold cuts. Except for the color photo, the cover is identical to the El Tovar menus, including the drawings of mule-backed descending the switchbacks into the canyon.

Here’s an undated breakfast menu that the New York Library says is also from 1953 despite its very different cover. It has eight entrées, several of which I wouldn’t associate with breakfast: salt mackerel, corned beef hash, fried cornmeal mush, wheat cakes, ham or bacon and eggs, poultry livers and mushrooms, chipped beef on toast, and an omelette.
The back of the menu notes that the cover painting is “by the well-known artist, Walter Richards.” I doubt Richards was very well-known outside of commercial art circles, but his art was used in hundreds of ads for such clients as Budweiser, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Conoco, Ford, General Electric, Magnavox, Seagrams, and Texaco.
