Restaurants in Southeastern Utah

  1. Love Muffin

    You gotta grab your love muffin fast at this breezy new bakery, because early-rising moms, gnarly adventure chicks and on-the-ball seniors nab the best ones - raspberry-blueberry, chocolate vegan - before most people get out of bed. But no worries: the breakfast menu also offers burritos, waffles, and honey yogurt with granola. Gourmet salads and sandwiches are served at lunch.

  2. Center Café

    Ready to trade your spandex and bike clips for a sundress and strappy shoes? Leave Main St behind and stroll over to stylish Center Café, consistently named southern Utah's best restaurant. The chef-owner cooks with confidence, drawing inspiration from American, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. Lighter tapas menu ($4 to $12) served 4pm to 6pm.

  3. Anasazi Restaurant

    Primary access to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is 70 miles south of Hanksville. At the end of the road is Bullfrog Marina. Landlubbers can eat at Anasazi Restaurant. The restaurant serves pretty standard all-American fare, but it does try to use local produce and sustainable practices.

  4. Miguel's Baja Grill

    Dine on Baja fish tacos in the sky-lit breezeway patio lined with brightly painted walls. Fajitas, chilis rellenos and seafood mains are good sized, and the portobello salad is excellent. Refreshingly honest staff will tell you yes, they do have margaritas, but they may not be the best in town.

  5. Buck’s Grill House

    Upscale contemporary Southwestern specialties, such as duck tamales with adobo and elk stew with horseradish cream, are what Buck’s does best (there are veggie options, too). Don’t miss the buffalo chorizo and cheese quesadilla. This is white tablecloth service for down-home food.

  6. Moab Brewery

    At Moab's only on-site microbrewery restaurant you can see the vats just behind the bar area. It serves a range of burgers, seafood, steak and chicken, all to better accompany a pint of Derailleur or Dead Horse Ale. Natural, house-made gelato is sold on the front porch.

  7. Milt’s

    Pull up one of only a handful of stools at this tiny 50-year-old diner, or order through the screen window and eat under the tree. Locals come back often for the chile cheeseburgers, hand-cut fries and boffo milkshakes (try butterscotch-banana).

  9. Desert Bistro

    Twinkling lights hang in the trees outside this old ranch-house-turned-restaurant. Inside, stylized preparations of game is the specialty; everything is made in-house. Great wine list, too.

  10. Jailhouse Café

    Sure, it’s a cute tiny breakfast place with good advertising. But if there’s a wait (and there usually is), know that you can do just as well elsewhere.
