Restaurants in South Central & Southwestern Utah

  1. Spotted Dog

    For dinner, you don't have to gussy up too much for the Spotted Dog but it might be nice to look fresh while people-watching on the patio. The seasonal, mostly regional menu has included wild game meatloaf and golden rainbow trout. There's also a breakfast buffet.

  2. Red Rock Grill

    Settle into your log-replica chair and peer out of the window-lined dining room or relax on the big deck with magnificent canyon views. Breakfast is a buffet ($9). At dinner, expect solidly good, but not great, prime rib, grilled trout etc. Make reservations.

  7. Cowboy’s Buffet & Steak Room

    Yeah, it’s national park priced, but the ribs-and-beef dinner buffet ain’t bad. Even with the cavernous dining room, expect a wait.
