    Pickle Fries

    Quick immediate seating for my party of 7. Wide expansive menu. All the food options were well received and everyone enjoyed their ordered entree. The sweet potato fries are truly crazy. You should absolutely order some. The burger was good and filling. Their strawberry lemonade looked delicious in a massive stein.

    We got to the restaurant about 20 minutes before it closed and at no point did they make us feel rushed or uncomfortable. Our server was friendly and had a wonderful personality. Our food was delicious and the ribs and French fries were our favorite! The place has big TV's and it is welcoming to all. Truly enjoyed this as our first meal in Moab!

    We went to Moab for a few days and ate here more than once! The staff was kind, the establishment was clean, food came out quickly, and were seated immediately. I ordered the Pesto Sandwich twice, we tried the Brisket Sandwich, Wedge Salad, and Fish & Chips. The patio seating was comfortable and included a beautiful view. The only thing I wish they had was cocktails, but we were not disappointed with the wine and beer options!

    For Moab tourists, the cavernous log cabin feel of this restaurant makes for a great setting to take in a family meal - with a large fireplace, local photos and (of course) ubiquitous broken raft oars. The servers are authentic, know the menu well and ensure you feel like a valued guest!! As for food, one theme stood out: Bacon and Range. Our family steered toward the wonderful chicken sandwich (gluten free bread was solid) and the Cobb Salad. The sweep potato fried are topped with a homemade sugary syrup (a bit sweet for my palate). While the food is not Five Star, it surely made for a solid meal in Moab.

    Disappointed the sirloin was inedible. Extremely tough -long wait not worth it. The chix salad was huge but tasteless

    Glazed salmon, yum.

    We needed somewhere to grab dinner on our way to Canyonlands to spend some quality time catching the views and walking some trails. Food was very good; salmon dish was tasty (not the biggest portion but no complaints). Waitress was a doll and told you exactly what to order if you were waffling between two items. They got us in and out of there, which worked great for our schedule! Nice place and clearly a town favorite; there were people waiting outside before it opened at 4:30pm!

    The sweet potato fries were unreal! Soooo good, my kids ate all of them off my plate. The desolation burger was amazing, highly reccomend. Kid friendly with games out front. Our waiter Vinny was so great!

    We stopped here for dinner. They are dog friendly and have a great patio with heaters to sit outside. Our golden retriever loved it and they brought her out a fresh bowl of water along with our waters. We had the pleasure of being served by Melena. She was fantastic and super helpful! She made great recommendations for beer and food. I had the salmon that came with veges and mashed potatoes. The sauce was sweet and spicy. Cooked well. My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. He gave it a 4/5. Sweet potato fries had a syrup drizzle that he said was too sweet and not needed. Hot sauce was great but the bun was a little thick. Overall good food, great service, and clean restaurants.

Sat at the bar and learned so much from the great bartender about "the old Denny's" place. Even the owner told her experience about opening - they've been open 3 seasons.

A sit down bar that (It's also family friendly ) The in depth: The aesthetic of Birdy's is one of the most unique I have ever seen anywhere. It's a good take on a 70s vibe with some nice warm lighting, they also have an adorable little shop in the back too. As for the food, we got their buttered bread board. They had a few different flavored butters to try on their in house made bread. Honestly as a starter it turned out to be pretty on point . I would recommend it as a solid starter for any group going here The main entree I got was the New York steak. Which turned out to not even be the best thing on the plate(but it was good). And you may say, "hey how can you order a steak and it's not the best thing on the plate?" Because they had some ASTONISHINGLY GOOD POTATOES! They had the perfect level of crispiness for both the normal and sweet potatoes. The biggest disappointment of the night was the peanut butter brownie. The reason for this was not because of how it tasted, it in fact tasted great, but it had the texture of a brownie that had been sitting out for a few hours and tossed in the microwave for 5 seconds. Short to say the brownie wasn't warm at all which kinda dampened the experience. All in all I'd say this is the only "modern-bar" experience in town, the food was good and there social aspect is more of what you'd expect in a downtown city bar. 4/5

    After a long, sunny midday dip over at Mill Creek Waterfall, escaping the desert heat meant finding…read morerefuge and cold fluids fast. Moab is notorious for its predictable, shallow tourist traps that roll out the same uninspired menus to captive crowds, so skipping the main drag nonsense for Proper Brewing felt like the right call. It is a bit of a quirky setup inside. The decor hits you as slightly odd and dated right off the bat, giving off an old-school aesthetic that does not quite line up with modern taproom minimalism, but it functions well enough when you just need to cool down. The service was a bit on the spotty side and carried a rather peculiar vibe, though the kitchen and the bar kept things moving quickly enough for a shorter visit. The real saving grace here lives in the taps and the coolers. Finding a spot in this town that treats classic styles with genuine respect is a rarity. The SLC Pils is incredibly clean with a crisp, snappy noble hop finish that immediately cuts through the midday heat. We leaned into the hoppier side of the list with the Concerning Hops, a beautifully simple and dank West Coast IPA, and the Leisurebrau, which kept the clean drinking streak alive. For something a bit more aromatic, the Blizzard Wizzard held its own, but the standout for me was the Yacht Rock Juice Box. It brings a great tropical, hazy profile that does not fall into that sticky, cloying sweetness trap that ruins so many modern versions of the style. Before heading out, hitting their to-go section is an absolute necessity. They have a killer selection of tall boys ready to go, which is exactly what you want when stocking up for whatever adventure waits just beyond the town limits. We kept the food order simple and focused on the appetizer menu to fuel up after swimming. The Proper Nachos arrived fully loaded with all the standard fixings, including a decent avocado spread and pickled jalapeños. Honestly, they were completely fine, just your textbook, dependable bar nachos that hit the salty craving without reinventing the wheel. The Proper Poutine stepped things up a bit with a rich brown gravy and real cheese curds, layered with an unexpected hit of herbed cream cheese and bacon that added some serious depth to the plate. Dessert, however, turned into a tale of two completely different kitchens. Skip the banana split entirely. They make it with vanilla soft serve instead of traditional hard scoops, which just feels weirdly cheap and results in a melted, sloppy texture before the dish even settles on the table. Truth be told, you need to redirect that attention entirely to the bread pudding. It features chunks of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups baked right into a warm, dense, incredibly rich base, finished with caramel and whipped cream. It is absolutely excellent and easily salvaged the sweet portion of the meal. Even with the quirky atmosphere and the eccentric service, the quality of the beer and the standout dishes make this one of the absolute best options in the area. I would easily drop back in next time I am rolling through Moab.

If you like crunchy fries, this place nails them. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the space is huge-half of it is set up as a restaurant, while the other side is considered a pub, where you can order drinks without food. Since we were hungry, we ordered food anyway. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the hostess even brought Luna a treat, which made her day. We stayed inside so Luna could cool off before heading to Arches National Park. The only downside for me was the margarita, which was far too sour for my taste. Still, the overall vibe, great fries, and pet-friendly attitude made this a solid stop in Moab.
