FOOD WAS AMAZING. Started out with a beer and fried pickles, which were crisp and delicious. For entrees we had fish and chips and chicken parm pasta. Both pleasing to the pallet, the fish was flaky and perfectly crisp with each bite, along with the flavorful house made tartar.The chicken parmesan was crunchy and delightful with great taste and great garlic bread to go along. Will be back again when we visit!! read more

The food was great. We each had a burger. The sweet potato fries are delicious. The host and young man who brought our food to the table helped us plan some adventures out. They were excited to tell us about some cool places. We will be back again and highly recommend. read more

The gluten free hamburger buns are so good I thought they got my order wrong. Seriously. I asked my waiter to make sure it was gluten free and still wasn't completely sure (though I ate the whole thing). They make their own gluten free bread and it is the best I've ever had. read more

Our first time in Moab and decided to give this place a try. The staff were super nice on the phone, but that was the only good experience we had. The food left a lot to be desired. They forgot the "bed of asparagus" on the chicken caprese and even if it did have it, it wasn't worth the $20 price tag. Second was the Chicken Marsala. Sauce had way too many shallots. It overpowered the meal. Again, not worth the $22. And as a cherry on top: they ran out of the cheese curds we wanted to try. They gave us calamari as a substitute which turned out ok, but it was a poor substitute read more

This is the type of restaurant you choose because you want to please everybody but you end up pleasing nobody. Ended up being the worst meal we all had in Moab. I got the Caesar salad which was okay, I guess. Way too much dressing, packaged croutons, and fake parm shreds. It was big and I added chicken so that part was fine. Husband had a burger which was dry and salty. Fries were over salted. Teen son got fish and chips and maybe he accidentally ordered from the kid's menu because the portion was tiny. We had to get him a second dinner after eating here. Restaurant was loud, loud, loud and we were blasted by fans the whole time. Service was slow. I am posting this review mostly because I don't understand how it could be rated so highly. I did notice the clientele seemed to consist of fairly homogenous looking groups of big families and older couples so maybe it appeals to a certain crowd. read more

Food was excellent as was the service! Sweet potato fries are the best. Loved the Christmas decorations, well done.

Great place Great food great staff!! What more can be said?! was in town for Easter jeep safari have been here in the past and was so excited to be back! staff was super welcoming and accommodating and food was awesome as always! read more

Great Value. The food met all expectations. And it wasn't expensive. Our server was Shay. She was very friendly and provided 5-star service even though she was busy. Shay is a perfect person for this restaurant. The only negative was the limited parking but this wasn't a big deal because there was parking fairly close on the street. The ambiance was fitting for this western town. Overall a very nice experience. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, I got the Outlaw Pork chop and I've never had a more amazing pork chop. My waiter was Shay and she was incredibly nice and even recommended the pork chop which was a amazing recommendation. The esthetics of the building were also really nice. It was was just a cool place to eat and the fries were really really good. read more

The sirloin was cooked so well! The sweet potato fries were so good with honey drizzled over them. Our waiter, Joe, did an amazing job serving us with the restaurant so busy, he gave us so much attention. We will go there again! read more

Excellent customer service. Melena was the best. Good extremely tasty. Excellent environmental for the entire family. Will eat here every time we're in town!!!! read more

Shay said the pork chop would be the best meal ever, and she was WRONG. I had the medallions and THAT was the best meal ever. But seriously, Shay is awesome, and so is the restaurant. read more

This was a lovely themed restaurant and great for families with kids. The kids enjoyed playing giant connect four in the outside waiting area and seeing a real life Mater Tow truck parked out front. Food and service were excellent. read more

We were visiting Moab and thanks to the great service provided by Shay we enjoyed a lovely dinner on our first night in town.

It's just a step up from bar food. The chicken Marsala has cream in it, I don't know what chicken Marsala comes with cream in it ever. We were not impressed at all, considering the wait time was 25 mins. If you're in a pinch, sure he's fine. But overall the food was not good. read more

Good food, great ambiance, kids friendly. Very nice waitress. Good ambiance. The theme itself is very much Moab.

Traveling from CT, we decided after visiting the Arches National park to come here for dinner. Beautiful decor inside! We were greeted by Juana. Very nice and very accommodating! She made sure we were well taken care of. It is so nice to go somewhere and have above and beyond hospitality. We ordered the calamari and fries pickles. Very tasty! I ordered the beef brisket tacos and my wife ordered the chicken tacos . Very yummy ! We will definitely be back here again when we are traveling! read more

Go to the Broken Oar!!! Melena made our experience the best!! Being a young couple we usually do not get treated with the best service. Melena made us feel seen and welcomed. The pitcher of beer and burger were amazing. The sweet potato fries ARE out of this world! 10 out of 5 stars! read more

Fine place for big beers and fries. Their sweet potato fries are really great. The other food items were average. They were super busy for a Monday night and service was really slow, took 15 minutes to even be greeted at the table by our server. read more

We enjoyed our visit to The Broken Oar. The atmosphere is very casual, lots of wood tables and wooden chairs. The chairs are so heavy I couldn't pull mine into the table without assistance. Maybe I was just too tired from hiking all day. Our wait staff was slow to but we were there toward closing hour. It wasn't busy but everything seemed to be in slow-mo. Three out of the four of us at our table ordered the pork chop on the menu. Our waitress said it is her favorite thing on the menu. She was really excited when we ordered it! It was good, not great, but good. The best thing on the menu that we had were the sweet potatoes which are made with cinnamon and honey. The fried pickles were over fried and no taste. We sent those back. The desserts on the table were very nice. All in all, we had a good dinner. read more

Broken Oar Restaurant - Best Sweet Potato Fries!!! - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

The MOST friendly overworked server on an understaffed night! We were still given timely attention and great attitude!

They hosted my wedding rehearsal dinner last minute and did a wonderful job. Randy was such a huge help from the beginning and the staff were kind and patient with my guests. Everyone raved how good the food was (in particular the chicken Parmesan and cookies!) I will definitely come back when I'm in town again! read more

They sneak in a service fee on the receipt that is the same as the tip and don't tell you about it. We had 20 people there and everyone seen this as we left the service and we were not happy about it. That's like double the tip and that is not cool. We will never go back there again they can keep that tip for next year when we won't come back. read more

We had fish, shrimp & onion rings. All were delicious. Our server Kenna C was excellent!

Nice service; quick and attentive. Chairs weigh 1000 pounds - way too heavy to maneuver! The Philly cheese steak was very good - but had to ask for horseradish several times. Burger fair but the fries sucked ! Greasy, oily, limp and cold. read more

Nice find and open for dinner early. They actually open for dinner at 4:30pm is want to eat early....which we did since just flew in from EST and were just hungry. Had amazing steak and trout and were advised to get the mashed potato's instead of the homefired potato. Great choice! Also get the shrimp cocktail appetizer- they are seasoned nicely and a great size. Loved the house lager- had a nice flavor for a lager. And the wait staff were amazing and very pleasant. Should have got a pic, sorry. read more

Great atmosphere, great food! Perfect for those that need gluten free as well. The sweet potato fries were amazing! Shay was an excellent waitress-great personality and attentive. read more

What a lovely treat after a long day of driving! Our server, Shay, was knowledgeable and most helpful! Thank you, Shay! The food was delicious and those sweet potato fries were fantastic! Great evening. read more

Super cute atmosphere! Rustic and lots of wood. Our server Tanda was great. My hubby and I split a meal, and she split it for us! She even remembered that I said that I was going to eat the asparagus. She only put it on my plate. It's that attention to detail that was impressive. In addition, the mushrooms on the steak were probably the best seasoned mushrooms I have ever had! read more

Everything about this place is wonderful--the atmosphere, the service (shout out to our wonderful waitress, Melena!), and ESPECIALLY the food. Wow. After a long hike in Arches, I was craving a burger. I initially asked Melena which one she would recommend, and she didn't waste a breath in stating the Beast Burger. The meat is a blend of ground elk, bison, wagyu beef, and wild boar. I used to live in Montana and I've been living in Colorado for 3 years, so I like to think I've eaten really delicious, high quality red meat before. But I can confidently say this is the best burger I have ever had. I will return to this restaurant for the Beast Burger every chance I get! read more

Well the sweet potato fries are for real!! Had a little "hiccup" in the kitchen but Bina did a great job letting us know. We weren't in any big hurry, why would you be, we're in Moab Utah. The food we ordered was very good. We sat outside which was actually great with the view. Question I always ask?? Would I go back!!! 100%! Great job Bina!! read more

Really enjoyed the sweet potato fries as well as the onion rings! We recommend the French Dip and the Burger with avocado, bacon, and Swiss cheese! Our eyes rolled back in our heads. Kudos to the tall cowboy who delivers meals. We've never seen such a hard worker! read more

We had such a wonderful dinner and experience. Kauli was the perfect server and she gave us great ideas of what to order. We had the perfect dinner which was the best ever Sriracha bourbon pork chop, Caesar salad and amazing homemade strawberry cheesecake!!! Such a great experience, and we hope to be back! read more

We had a wonderful meal here. The menu is marked with items that are gluten-free, and that is such a help. My partner had the Stuffed Portbella and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both were tasty, but the Stuffed Portabella had so much more flavor in it. We arrived at five minutes after they opened, and we had to wait about ten minutes to be seated. It was crazy busy. Our server, Melena (sorry if I botched the spelling), was quick, helpful, and friendly. The drinks came quickly, as did the meal. This was amazing considering how busy they were. read more

Waiter, Mickey, was excellent! Food was fabulous! Honey Siracha Lime Samon and sweet potato fries (unique) were outstanding! Great restaurant in Moab! read more

First time here and searched it on google. The food was good and the portions were good, I would recommend this place as people do get more after 5pm read more

The food here was amazingly good. Our waitress was perfect. Why the 3 stars? I was sold a $9.99 bottle of wine for $48.00!! I noticed the bill was a bit high but we were having fun enjoying our wonderful food and had great fun playing the yard games after dinner. I am aware that it was my fault for not looking closer at the individual prices on the bill. But really?? What? Why? How? So, a note to anyone who buys a bottle of wine here. LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE PRICE. Once again, a bottle of $9.99 they are charging $48.00. Unbelievable. read more

Made a reservation for 11 two weeks ago and they denied having it and would not honor.

We had a terrible experience at the Broken Oar and I would not recommend dining there. We were visiting Moab with our kids and in-laws for Mother's Day weekend and we chose this restaurant to celebrate the night before since we'd be traveling home on Sunday. It was the only bad part of our trip. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait. About 45 minutes later, I asked for an update and was told our name had been crossed off the list by mistake. The hostess said our party of 7 could split up or we could wait even longer. We chose to wait. I noticed a 6 top that was open and suggested we sit there and add a chair on the end, but they wouldn't do that. So about 1.5 hours after we arrived, we were seated, and honestly not a huge deal, but off to a bad start. Note- while waiting, I observed the teenage guy who brings the food to the table eating fries off plates on 3 occasions as he picked up the food in the kitchen. Once seated upstairs by the racks of t-shirts, our server did his best and was very nice, but he had too many tables. We ordered some apps, one of which was their sweet potato fries. The front of the menu says, "Home of the Sweet Potato Fries", so we expected them to be good. What came out appeared to be frozen, overly-orange, sweet potato fries drizzled in a very sweet sauce. Bad. We sent them back and they gave us fries without the sauce, which was nice, but if you are famous for something, you'd think it wouldn't be a frozen, food-colored product. Also, the sweet potato fries were labeled as gluten free, but they aren't... they are cooked in the same fryer they cook their chicken tenders and other gluten covered items. One of our kids has Celiac Disease, so this was disappointing. For our entrees, both steaks that were ordered medium rare and medium were delivered well done gray and tough to cut. We sent them back and the waiter was very understanding, but when they brought out the replacement steaks, one was cooked properly but the side dishes were not reheated. The other steak they brought out was the exact same one that was returned, with the section that was originally cut into clearly still cut open, but now burned and solid as a rock. They had cooked it longer instead of replacing it. I think it was a misunderstanding between the waiter and the kitchen, but at that point most of our party were finishing their meals, so I asked for the steak to be removed and said I would go to Wendy's. They also still hadn't delivered one of our kid's entrees at that point and the waiter said he made a mistake and it hadn't been entered. My son ate alone after everyone else was finished and his burger was not good. I tried a bite. Barely warm, cheese not melted. The patty looked like one of the preformed 4 oz patties you can buy Walmart. Overall, we had 1 out of 7 in our party who enjoyed their food. My son loved his hot wings and they looked great, but he did not like his fries. BTW, their regular fries are just as bad as their sweet potato fries. Clearly frozen and cheap. The steaks are NOT Angus Prime as the menu states. 1000% choice cut cheap meat. If you want wings and beer, this might be your place. Oh, they only have beer and cheap wine. No cocktails and nothing resembling a wine list other than some Mondavi/ Yellow Tail type wines. Lastly, the decor of the Broken Oar is terrible. The building has potential, but they have sponsorship displays all over the restaurant. It feels like you are walking into a rafting/fly fishing outfitter, and they are clearly profiting from the sponsors, like Slickrock Apparel, which is plastered on their walls and menu. They sell merchandise in the restaurant. It feels tacky and not necessary. They should remove the used orange life jackets from the banisters, get rid of the logos on their menu and on the walls, take down the yellow, plastic broken rafting oars off the walls and just go for a Southwest theme. Who wants to dine in a place that feels like you're checking-in for a 4 hour rafting trip. And the staff all wear fly fishing shirts. Such a disappointment. The only positive is that everyone who worked there was nice enough and they didn't charge us for the one steak that we asked for them to remove. And I enjoyed my Wendy's at 10:15pm. Note- for those traveling with Gluten Free or Celiac Disease, consider Pasta Jay's and 98 Center Moab. We had a good experience at both. As for Broken Oar, I flet my kid could safely eat there with the chicken caesar salad minus croutons, but they shouldn't put GF on their menu for items that share a mixed fryer. 1 star (vs. 0) for the waiter who did his best and sincerely apologized to us. read more
