    Lobster Mac and cheese - great flavor
    Dawn K.

    Came into Birdy's with so much hope, and it started amazing. The space is beautiful and the staff, our waitress, were beyond great. We started with the house made sourdough focaccia, and 3 different compound butters, and holy wow!! This bread is incredible! Came out soft and hot, and all the butters were amazing! Strawberry, blackberry, and a garlic chive! I will dream of this bread! We ordered the lobster Mac and cheese as an appetizer, and it never came out. When we were halfway into our entrees our waitress came to check on us and we reminded her of the Mac and cheese, she apologized and brought it right out. The flavor was great, creamy and Smokey, just needs more lobster. For our entrees: Steak - was cold not cooked per our request. It was expensive so we were disappointed Open fave short rib sandwich- just okay Veggie plate added salmon, this was delicious Overall, food was good, but expensive, both steaks were not cooked well and was cold. Not sure we will be back, unless I can talk my husband into going back just for the bread.

    Birdy's was such a treat to find in Moab. When we first arrived, I wasn't expecting really any fine dining spots, so I was shocked to see this one. I was very impressed with the ambiance considering this used to be an old Denny's. We came in on a Saturday night around 7:30 to eat dinner. The food was incredible from start to finish. Everything tasted fresh. We especially liked the misto salad, the short rib and salmon. Our waitress spaced out our dishes well. The drinks were very tasty and perfectly balanced. I would have liked them a little stronger, but I think that is unfortunately just how Utah is. The service was very good and personable. At one point, our waitress was tied up with another table for 15 minutes and they comped one of our appetizers as a thank you for the patience. While Birdy's is new, I do think this will be a staple in Moab going forward. It was refreshing to have a spot worth eating at while visiting. Definitely recommend.

    Food - Amazing Service - Amazing Ambiance - Amazing I have never been to Moab so I didn't know what to expect on food options. This was our first stop and it was just so yummy. I recommended it to everyone that I know, that goes to Moab.

    Everything about this place screams delicious, screams, ambience, and top-notch service from Sierra and overall. I've tried most of the restaurants in Moab, which are good, but I keep coming back to this one Which is truly exceptional

    We were passing through on our Mighty 5 road trip and were not disappointed to have our first dinner in Moab at Birdy's. The restaurant was pretty busy but not loud. The decor was memorable and very well thought out. It is exactly what you imagine when you hear "Finer Diner". The chicken was super tender and delicious. The only complaint I have is that the service was a little slow and that there was very little tzatziki served with my food.

    One of my favorites after a long week in Moab. The decor was super cute. Great attention from the staff and they had great recommendations on the menu. The harissa carrots were probably my favorite but it was so hard to choose because everything looked great.

    Swanky vibe, interior and music. Little shop with unique and eclectic books, foods, jewelry, and Knick knacks. The menu is limited, but the food is outstanding. Beautifully plated, generous portions that were delicious. Homemade desserts. Our server was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

    BEST RESTAURANT IN MOAB This delightful, vibey upscale diner that used to be a Denny's was fantastic. Jordan was such a great server and the food was excellent! The Green Chile prime rib sando was to die for.

BBQ sounded amazing and I've never had a platter like this before. I couldn't turn down the 3 meat platter to try everything that peaked my interest. Starting with the hush puppies, fried, sweet, and savory. Yum! The brisket was so tender and juicy. The ribs were also tender and fell off the bone. The andouille sausage had cheese throughout it and I felt like it was too oily and fatty from that, but that ended up being my husband's favorite. We devoured the sides too. The beans and mac and cheese were a must. If I had more stomach space I'd eat a dozen more hush puppies. Outdoor seating allows your furiends. Order at the counter and enjoy! And don't forget to try their house bbq sauce.

I really wanted ribs but at 7pm they were all out. Kind of surprising to not be able to get this at a BBQ place but, got the pulled pork meal instead. The pork itself was very well done, and delicious. And really liked that they put all sauces on the side for you to pick and add as much or as little as you want. They have different sides to pick from... mac-n-cheese is usually a must at BBQ restaurants, but I would recommend skipping it here. Not hot, cheesy enough and lacking flavor. The coleslaw, on the other hand, was a great side.

The nice young waiter took us to a nice balcony with two tables, and said it would probably be 20 minutes before the kitchen opened back up for lunch. (We were fine sitting on the balcony enjoying the view.) We ordered ice teas and just relaxed after the drive down Unaweep Canyon. We both ordered the "Street Tacos". Now I have eaten street tacos for decades, and if streets were lined with gold, these might be the tacos they'd serve. Everything was perfect. The pulled pork was smoked and succulent, the carne asada was moist and flavorful, and the wild mushroom--yep tacos hongos!--were inventive and delicious. They piled them up like they assumed we were going to require a considerable energy expenditure in the near term. In other words, great good, and great portions at prices a resort in the middle of the desert needs to charge to turn a profit. I need a reason to pass through Gateway again.

    We have come to Paradox for lunch a handful of times per year for several years. The food has…read morealways been tasty, but our meal today was on a whole new level!

Come for the beers, skip the food and same yourself some dough figuratively and literally.
