Lunch in Flagstaff 4/20 on the way to WCC, I need to know Options

[ThinAir]

The East Coast Caravan to WCC is planning on stopping here in Flagstaff for lunch on 4/20. There was an indication that some of the Phoenix folks were coming up to join the caravan, but there also seems to be a group that is going straight west from Phoenix without coming up to join the caravan.

So I need to know a real number on how many people are going to come to Flagstaff and I need an indication of what kind of lunch arrangements you want before I go talking to local restaurants. My concern is that the arrival time can't be precisely predicted and restaurants won't like "around noon" if I'm asking for room for 20 people. I'm also thinking that the group needs to keep moving to make it to Las Vegas before you can't keep your eyes open any more.

Here are the lunch alternatives that I've come up with. I don't know yet how realistic some of them are for the group because I don't know the size, but at least you can give me some idea what the group has in mind:

1. Mandarin Super Buffet - very large chinese buffet with other stuff thrown in like pizza, and a very good "build your own" stir-fry bar. They have lots of room and as a buffet they can easily accomodate us whenever we show up.

2. Beaver Street Brewery - great locally brewed beers, wood-fire oven pizzas, good sandwiches. Very busy place at lunch time.

3. Chilis - a chain (not sure just where else they are besides AZ & CA) that has stuff with a "southwestern" flair, but not really Mexican foods in the traditional sense - burgers, fajitas, etc.

4. Local Mexican food place - there's a new place that I haven't tried yet, but it seems quite popular.

5. Cracker Barrel - "southern" food (so they say). They get you in and out pretty fast and can usually move things around to handle large groups.

All of these places are fairly easy to get to from I-40/I-17 interchange, although Beaver Street Brewery is a little tricky and parking there could be a challenge.

Please respond here with a note to say you are coming, and your preference/thoughts on lunch location options.
