This restaurant is known for their Eggs Benedict, Swedish Pancakes and their thick bacon. We…read moreordered 2 of these items and agreed with the recommendations. The Eggs Benedict are really so delicious. They use a non-traditional hollandaise sauce which, amazingly amped up the flavor of the eggs! And the eggs were perfectly made so that the whites were thoroughly cooked and the yolk was runny. Odd, but this is a difficult thing to get in a restaurant. The meal was served with delicious home fries where the potatoes were moist and flavored. We also ordered a side of their thick bacon, which had a bit of a different flavor - very nice. The bacon was perfectly cooked. We took a chance on the egg scramble, which had lots of promise with the many ingredients listed, but the eggs were overcooked and dry, so the other ingredients couldn't compensate. They served the eggs with a very nice bread for their toast. We almost didn't come here as we only saw the side of the building, which was a very small house looking structure. But as you continue down the street, you can see that they have expanded their restaurant to include the dining area: an "inside" area and a patio area. All of this new structure is glass or plastic windows, they have heating and cooling to accommodate for the time of day and they did a great job of making a pleasant eatery. Everyone we met at the restaurant was pleasant and kind. It was such an enjoyable time. We have a few more days in Moab, so we will be back.

It has been five years since I've been to Moab and a lot has changed…read more Jailhouse Cafe has been our go to breakfast place for at least 10 years. The food taste was still decent. However, the prices have absolutely skyrocketed. We paid five dollars each for some pretty fair tasting coffee. The omelette I used to order is now close to $20. The portion seemed quite a bit smaller too For breakfast for the two of us it was over 50 bucks. We used to have to wait at least an hour for breakfast but this time there was absolutely no wait. I'm wondering if due to the rising meal costs if that's impacting the number of customers coming in the door. I am not sure if I would come back again in the future, which is such a shame.

Terrible experience at Cactus Jacks in Moab. The staff's attitude was extremely rude, hostile, and completely unprofessional. We felt unwelcome from the moment we arrived, and the way we were treated came across as discriminatory and unacceptable. This place is absolutely not pet-friendly based on our experience. Instead of basic courtesy, we got attitude and disrespect. I would not recommend this business to anyone visiting Moab, especially travelers with pets. There are better places that actually know how to treat customers with respect. read more

This restaurant quickly became my favorite in Moab. It's where all the locals go to eat because they know they'll find delicious and different food choices, servers that are happy and the buzz of people enjoying each other's company. Everything I have tried there has been amazing. I'm sharing a couple of pictures from lunch the other day. I usually just start eating because it looks so good but decided to slow my roll so I could share the beauty! Highly recommend! read more
