Moab's finest dining experience is found in a small adobe house just off Main Street. Whether you eat inside or on either of the peaceful patios, anticipate thoughtful flavor combinations in artful salads, locally sourced beef, and delicious vegetables. The handmade agnolotti pasta stuffed with mushrooms and Italian cheeses, and the beef fillet crusted with gorgonzola are both impressive. Dylan, a longtime chef here, recently purchased the bistro with his wife, Leslie, and they've maintained all the charm and dishes that diners have been raving about for years. The menu changes seasonally, but you can count on creative pastas, sweet and savory salad combinations, and surprise ingredients from kiwi to quinoa any time of year.

One of the jewels of the local culinary scene, this elegant restaurant serves adventurous cuisine with a Southwestern flair, all in a historic brick building in downtown Moab. The menu shifts with the seasons but always includes a good selection of game and fish, including elk and Chilean seabass. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the in-house baker creates a delectable, constantly changing dessert menu. There's also a full bar and patio, which is especially pleasant on warm evenings after the sun has gone down.

One of the best restaurants in the area, this eclectic spot is housed in a false-fronted wooden building that looks straight of an old cowboy movie.

Often busy, people also come here for a full range of steak house staples, fish dishes, and the only salad bar around. Blanding is a dry city, so no alcohol is served.

A local institution for decades, this downtown spot only does breakfast from 7 to noon—and does it famously well. Expect all your morning favorites, plus a few surprises, served out of a pink 1880s-era home that also once served as the county courthouse (the kitchen was a jail cell). You can read all about the place's history as you dine inside or on its pleasant patio. Especially during busy times of year and weekends, it helps to get here early, as it can draw quite the crowd.
101 N. Main St., Moab, Utah, USA435-259–3900Known For

- Inventive varieties of eggs Benedict
- "soul bacon" (thick-cut slices that are sourced and cut especially for Jailhouse)

Right on the main drag, this friendly spot serves up south-of-the-border fare with the culinary spirit of Baja, California. That means in addition to expected Mexican favorites (burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc.), Miguel's is also known for its excellent fresh seafood dishes (yes, even in the desert). The house-made margaritas are a big hit, too, and you can sip yours either inside or on the pleasant shaded patio. Because of its super-central location, expect a wait during busy times of year. Both the tomatillo and the red sauce are fairly spicy so taste them first if you aren't fond of hot foods.
51 N. Main St., Moab, Utah, 84532, USA435-259–6546Known For
- Big portions
- Baja fish tacos
- Ceviche, a tangy blend of raw fish, onions, tomatoes, and more

Quick and reliable, this no-frills diner opens early and closes late, dishing up large portions of all-American fare at a decent price.

A former drive-in for generations, this casual spot leans into its retro roots, with robin's-egg–blue booths and checkerboard floors—and the best burgers, shakes, and fries in town. This is also the perfect place to try Utah's famous fry sauce, made from ketchup, mayonnaise, and a few other ingredients too secret to name. While it can get very busy, the staff is always friendly, and there's a helpful sign on the wall that lights up with the estimated time your order should take.

Moab's bright-yellow gourmet food truck is permanently parked in the heart of town, where it offers a shaded spot under water-misters to dig into its extremely thick and tasty meat and veggie quesadillas. Not strictly Mexican or Southwestern, the food here is more of an inventive fusion with nontraditional ingredients, and the menu even includes a vegan option or two. The line can be long, and once you take your first bite, you'll know why. Truck closes at 5 pm, so it's perfect for lunch, a heavy snack, or early dinner.
95 N. Main St., Moab, Utah, 84532, USA435-260–0289Known For

Authentic Thai food may not be what you expect to find in the middle of the desert, and that's exactly why this cozy, central place so highly recommended by locals. Some of the tastiest dishes here are the noodle options, such as the tangy pad Thai or the spicy, pan-fried drunken noodles. The curry dishes are also very popular. Being a hot spot in town, staff here can get overwhelmed at times. If it looks crowded and you're short on time or patience, you might want to eat elsewhere and come back when they are less packed. It's worth it.
92 E. Center St., Moab, Utah, 84532, USA435-259–0039Known For

This casual burger joint connected to a gas station is probably the best-known stop between Lake Powell and Capitol Reef. Even if you're not hungry, it's worth a visit for the incredibly thick shakes that rise out of their cups, but just be ready for some long lines on busy days.

Views of the Green River make this a restorative stop after a long drive. Though the interior has gotten hipper in recent years, the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are filled with the same classic diner favorites the spot has been serving up for decades. The Navajo tacos and green chili burgers are especially decadent and delicious, and there's a long list of beer, wine, and cider to choose from, as well.

The ribs served here will blow your mind, and the charming Old West theme begins when you drive up to the rustic, false-front exterior. Inside, animal pelts, guns, and other memorabilia of the era adorn the walls. You can sit outside at picnic tables and watch as plump and tender baby back ribs and T-bone steaks are cooked over the outdoor grill—one reason the place closes in winter. Make sure to take home your napkin, which is a free bandana. Beer and wine are available.
409 W. Main St., Bluff, Utah, 84512, USA435-672–2282Known For

The freshest ingredients make Paradox's hand-tossed pizza among the best in town. The interior of the restaurant isn't glamorous, but the staff is friendly and eager, and they toss a mean pie. You can build your own pizza or try one of the combinations, like the Supremo (pepperoni, handmade sausage, onions, green peppers, and portobello mushrooms). There are also vegan and gluten-free options. Bonus: Delivery is free to most locations near downtown.
