    Southwest Bowl
    Melissa M.

    There was a line when we got here at 9:30 on a Sunday morning, but it went fast. Clearly, a popular spot for breakfast. The menu is fantastic-so many options. We got the AM Tacos (with bacon) and the Southwest Bowl (with fried chicken) and an order of Mini-Jacks. The tacos were so good! I asked for a side of green chile sauce and that made them next level. We don't recommend getting fried chicken on the SW Bowl. The bowl was great, but the chicken was only okay. A little tough and chewy and probably not the best choice for that meal. The mini jacks were the star of the show! Fluffy, light, with a hint of sweetness and served with a huge dollop of soft butter. The restaurant was busy, but our service was great and it was a relaxed vibe. Lots of folks looked like they were heading out or getting back from outdoor activities.

    This is one of the breakfast locations in Moab that is rated highly so we came here around 8:30am on a Wednesday. There are 2 dining areas inside - head over to the hostess stand and get your name added to the list on their automated system. You will be texted when your seat is ready and you can watch your status as you wait thru the url texted to you when you first check in. I loved knowing where we were in line at any time - very efficient. We were seated in 6 minutes and our server greeted us shortly after. We ordered regular coffee, the Cinnamon Roll (it's huge) and the Waffle meal which included eggs and bacon and we added fruit. The coffees came right away followed by the cinnamon roll. We had a few minutes to enjoy that when our breakfast arrived. Everything tasted great! The cinnamon roll did not have frosting on it but that was okay because there was a lot of cinnamon sugar in its layers. The waffles are not real Belgian but they were fresh, light, and fluffy. The bacon is super thick - very tasty. The restaurant decor looks fairly recent and the vibe is casual and laid back. Come as you are and enjoy a great breakfast!

    The best breakfast we had over our whole trip. Fresh and tasty! We had amazing service and enjoyed our visit. Loved my breakfast bowl. It was perfection.

    It seems the businesses in Moab Utah do just fine based on just how delicious everything was- very impressed from decor and atmosphere to the food and the staff. Food was exactly as advertised and yummy too but the graphic and the atmosphere was awesome and chill -definitely recommend!

    Big 'ol cinnamon roll
    J N.

    This was recommended to us by a local & it lived up to the hype. The southwest bowl was delicious, & big enough for two to share. And the cinnamon roll was spectacular! Also big enough to share...maybe 4 ways! Definitely recommend & would come back!

    Cute restaurant

    The beef chimichuri on greens with balsamic dressing really hit the spot. Our server, Sean was super friendly and took great care of us and all his tables. It's a cute place and a great way to start the day in Arches

    The tacos were crunchy and sweet. Best I've had.

    Great food, amazing atmosphere wonderful service! Highly recommend. Most definitely be back if I'm in the area if you have the time stop by.

    Cobb salad
    Malia P.

    The line is long but it moves quickly. Lunch is served all day, I ordered a Cobb salad however their veggies aren't that fresh. A few slices of their cucumbers look spoiled and there was a wrinkly tomato. Must try their bacon . My waitress said they are sourced from a local market at Salt Lake City. It's thick and has good fat to meat ratio. Service is great, their parking lot is small but plenty of street parking.

    French Toast with eggs and sausages
    Danica C.

    We got three breakfasts at Cactus Jacks. Unfortunately, all of them were cold and dry. The eggs were fine but it felt like it was good way before we ordered it. I liked the bacon most out of everything because it felt like it was the only freshly made item. The vibe is nice and the decor is cool. We also got a hot mocha with the breakfast which was great! I would not go there for a full breakfast. Maybe just coffee and a snack for me.

    Beware Huge cinnamon roll that can feed 6 people. Standard bkfast fare. No complaints. A bit expensive for 3 tiny avocado slices

    Biscuits and gravy - very good
    Dawn K.

    This place is popular and busy, and there's a reason why, it's delicious!! There's not many breakfast places in Moab, and I'm so happy we stopped by! Everyone loved what they ordered! Huevos rancheros with chicken fried steak, it's a crazy combo, but my son loved it! The southwest bowl add chorizo, so much flavor, and the perfect portion size! So good! Biscuits and gravy - flaky biscuit, yummy gravy, very well done. Flapjack breakfast was perfection, fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked bacon, the only complaint was the scrambled eggs, they were slightly rubbery, like they came out of a carton. Overall, we will eat here whenever we're in Moab!

    This place was recommended to us by our BASE jumping guide (shoutout to Matt with Tandem BASE Moab) and it did not disappoint. The portions are so generous and everything was reasonably priced -- not to mention, everything was delicious. Earl is right. The parking situation is quite crowded, and we parked on a side street nearby. Our server was great, and the restaurant wasn't too noisy!

    Fish tacos and waffle fries
    Tricia S.

    Food was really good. It was very busy at lunch which is always a good sign! We barely had any leftovers to take home!

    Just amazing

    Small expensive portions. If you're looking to have a cocktail with your meal I'd save your money.

    Good food! They were easygoing about our food needs - served my food without cheese and offered an alternative to bread for my husband.

    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.
