18 Best American Restaurants in Moab

“Mickey came over when we first sat down and just blew us away! My husband and I looked at each other and couldn’t even believe the AMAZING service we had just received. Not lying, he is the best server I have EVER had. Best place we have eaten in Moab. GET THE SWEET POTATO FRIES! Everything was really good and we had multiple people ask how we were doing that weren’t even our server. And no joke Mickey was the s****“

“We arrived just before 3pm closing and they were very welcoming, we tried the South African menu and it was delicious, the service was great and prompt and the owner came out to chat with us . Very friendly and fun and we will definitely recommend the restaurant.“

“Delicious food and loved sitting in the covered patio area. They had heaters and blankets and made it super cozy. The sea bass was killer!“

“Way better than The Brewery.“

“We were looking through the options in Moab for a good quality, freshly made burger for take out and these guys popped up. Everything was great. Fresh ingredients, some interesting meats and toppings, a good toasted bun and tasty, thick - but not too thick - seasoned fries. Friendly staff. Recommend! Note, it’s a food truck, so you might want to call to check their location.“

“We drove to Castle Valley for sightseeing, but couldn't find a restaurant there for dinner. This restaurant was close to Castle Valley, conveniently located by the scenic road and the Colorado River. The food was fresh and Was cooked tastely. We enjoyed the food and the scenery very much.“

“What a surprise, this little cafe attached to the Dinosaur Museum. While the menu board didn’t say anything about dietary options, the most friendly lady operating the cafe said she had gluten free buns for their burgers. And wow, what a fantastic bun (GF can be dry and terrible) and the burger was amazing, best burger we’ve enjoyed in the USA. Businesses that don’t get on board with dietary needs in any international guest destination are loosing customers big time. I highly recommend, keep up the gluten free buns. ?“

“Amazing view and setting!“

“🤩fish and chips Sooo Good“

“Fabulous customer service. Thank you!“

“After several days of hiking, and eating freeze dried meals, we went into Moab and scoped out the local restaurants. Josie Wyatt’s had good reviews and for good reason. We were absolutely blown away by the service and quality of food. 10 out of 10 would revoke. My wife had the steak, I had the fish and chips. Probably the best fish I’ve ever had. The grilled asparagus was absolutely amazing.“

“My favorite breakfast! Always warm, friendly and welcoming staff. One of my favorite places in Moab. ❤️☕🥑🍞🍳“

“An incredible surprise!!! Delicious burger and onion rings. Great service and we got to meet some locals with advice on the local scene.“

“Great food!! Andy was the best waiter anyone could ask for, the man knew his food like nobody else and was such a friendly and funny guy. This man needs a raise!!! You hear me Andy’s boss? He needs a raise. Everyone should be looking and asking about Andy. Overall great food and even greater waiter, this man is amazing at his job!“

“Everything here is GREAT. Starting off, our hostess Millie got us a table straight away and filled us in on the history of this place on our walk to the patio. Then our waiter Marcelo was an absolute delight. He was so patient and kind with our group! I noticed he was also attending to many other tables and was very timely with all things considered. Food was delicious and satisfying portions. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone!“

“Friendly bartender, good beer, great atmosphere. Moab Brewery is a cool place!“

“Last night, I unexpectedly boarded a cruise ship in the middle of Moab—the legendary Worlds Famous Woody’s Tavern. I came in solo, but from the moment I walked through the doors, it felt like I was stepping into a lively ship full of good vibes and great people.

At the entrance stood two captains—friendly faces making sure everything ran smoothly, giving warm welcomes like true pros of the sea. Inside, the real magic unfolded.

Behind the bar were the most stunning blonde bartenders, with smiles that could steer ships and charm that could calm any storm. They handled the crowd like seasoned sailors—mixing drinks with style, grace, and a sparkle in their eyes. Watching them work was like watching an elegant dance on deck—confident, smooth, and mesmerizing.

The live musicians were nothing short of sensational—no jukebox needed here. They filled the air with music so good, it pulled everyone to the dance floor like waves pulling the tide. I tipped them $40 without a second thought; they deserved every penny.

There was a pool table on deck, where travelers played and laughed like lifelong friends. Most guests had walked from nearby hotels, which made the atmosphere easygoing and stress-free. And for those who drove, parking was a breeze.

Although I didn’t try the food, the energy of this place was more than enough to satisfy. Woody’s Tavern is more than a bar—it’s a desert cruise full of soul, rhythm, and heart. It’s the kind of place that turns an ordinary night into an unforgettable adventure.

Highly recommend this voyage to any traveler passing through Moab. Raise your glass, set your course, and enjoy the ride aboard the Woody’s!“
