    I should add a review because I (like many) were skeptical of this spot from the rating: y'all, it's fine. Like the other review says if this were in a big city it would be a solid three, but it's worthy of a four all things considered. I know it's slim pickings outside of Bryce but this is a perfectly acceptable place to eat. The drinks were average so I just stuck to a simple 2 ingredient cocktail (liquor/mixer) I got the chili and my husband got the ribeye with a baked potato. We sat at the bar top so the service was fast; I assume all of the complaints of slow service were when people were seated at tables because there was only 1 server working the floor. Good spot, ignore the ratings, stop by after a day in the park.

    Food was good and service was fast. A little pricey but you don't have many choices in a touristy area. We got ours to go.

    I recently ordered takeout from Cowboy Ranch and was extremely disappointed with the entire experience. Firstly, the service was far from satisfactory. The staff seemed uninterested and unhelpful, which set a negative tone right from the start. Secondly, the food was overpriced for the quality provided. I expected much better given the high prices, but the ribs and chicken were bland and lacked freshness. I felt like I was paying premium prices for subpar food. What really added insult to injury was the automatic 20% tip that was charged on my to-go order. I understand tipping for good service, but this felt like an unfair charge, especially considering the poor service and the fact that it was a takeout order. Amy was extremely rude and was not very helpful even after the 20% tip from our entire group. The food came out within 5 minutes who knows how long it was sitting back there. Overall, I do not recommend this place based on my experience. There aren't many other places in the area that are open around 8pm. But I would avoid this place save your money you're better off going to the gas station you'll get better service without the unnecessary extra charges. ---

    Came in the evening and after Memorial day weekend. Lots of draft beers to choose from but most of them were out. I love my chili but they were out. Intrigued by the avocado bites. Alas, they were out. BUT, the 5 beers on draft were fresh tasting. And, they have 1¢ chips &salsa to accompany your beer. Best deal. They practice distancing with yellow tape on the floor. The workers wear masks.

    Good portion of Caesar salad and bowl of chili.

    I feel like this place deserves at least a 3. The service was friendly though inattentive and a bit slow. Not for lack of trying though, they were just very busy and there was only 1 server for the floor and 1 bartender behind the bar, taking care of probably a couple dozen people. There were two people at the host desk and it feels like they probably could've helped more on the floor. We got the chili and Caesar salad and cleaned our plate and bowl. Neither was the best ever, but also both were solid, and they give you good portions. We would come back again. I'd say this is probably a solid 3.5 kind of place. I'm rounding up in my review to 4 stars to bring up the average since they're currently showing up as below 3 and I don't think that's fair or reflective of the quality of the place.

    Server Oscar took such good care of us. He is also trail knowledgeable in the area! Nice craft beer selection, but tonight out of many of the local beers. What local beer that was left was fresh, tasted great, and much appreciated. Table next to us had massive hamburgers and large fries, cut long. Ask about the chips AND salsa for a PENNY. Then, ya get yer beer! I enjoyed the John Denver, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson playing overhead.

    Went here randomly since it was the only restaurant still open in Bryce Canyon after like 8pm and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered takeout but the dining area had plenty of seating, and was still pretty busy for a weeknight. Servers/bartenders were knowledgeable and welcoming. Chicken Caesar salad was surprisingly really good for a bar, but skip the elk burger -- was cold and sad. Good enough to go back a second night in a row

    So, been going back and fourth with this rating. Debating if it deserve 2 or 3 stars. Well here goes.... Spent the memorial weekend in Bryce as one of our friend was running a marathon that was being held here. As the restaurant was basically next door and a couple minute walk from our hotel, it only seemed appropriate to stop and have dinner. Well, here goes. When we walked in, the hostess was on her phone at the counter. We got seated pretty fast as it wasn't as busy yet. Our waiter, who I honestly don't think he's a waiter. Maybe helping out as they were short staff or something. Started off with the drinks, and one of us wanted a beer. He didn't know what was on tap or if they had anything available. Seemed all over the place. He had to check to see what we ordered was available. Which I don't think he knew what it was from the beginning as we over heard someone else asking for the same thing and he automatically said no. Dinner, menu had some nice choices. But that could just be on paper. We all went with the special that was on the whiteboard as you walk in. So this is where the rating comes into play. The food was another level. One of us ordered the half chicken was looked ok. Served with veggies and all the meals did as well. Everything was with green beans which honestly was from a can. Another had the pork chops, 2 very thin slice of chops. That was served with coleslaw and sweet potatoes fries. The other had the fish and chips. Which I swear was van decamp frozen fish. It literally looked exactly like it. Then comes my meal, the tomahawk steak. With a price that was offered, I couldn't miss out on it. Asked for it medium and it came with two sides as well. Veggies which was can green beans and rice. It took a long while till the food was ready. We did notice that there was another table that had ordered the tomahawk steak as well. About 10 min from when we sat down it was brought out to them and minutes later they had to take it back. I assume it was cooked wrong. Then the waiter finally came over and said that the other dishes were done but the steak wasn't. Told him to just bring them out as it would get cold by the time they ate. When my steak finally came out, I asked for medium and it was basically well done. Not one piece of pink whatsoever. And fries was brought out instead of rice. Mentioned to the waiter that I wanted rice and he replied with "you said fries". At this point it was like whatever. I didn't have the heart to return the steak as it already taken so long to arrive. The portion of meat was massive and for the price, didn't want to have to return it. But when you request it a certain way and it comes out basically well done. Its flavor just doesn't do it justice. Service was good, although our waiter maybe was just helping out as they were short staff or something. The bartender did come out and help and he was friendly. Talked to everyone which was nice. They did have a bar in the back near the restroom but we stayed in the main restaurant area. Food could have been better. Short staff for sure.

Fish (lemon pepper and salt) was tasty and perfectly prepared. Asparagus was also perfectly cooked, still a bit of crunch. The fries were too limp but tasted good. My hubs ordered the ribeye. Looked so juicy and charred but was a bit tough. Flavor was great and it was a gigantic 16-oz. portion. Coffee was tasteless, unfortunately. The absolute highlight of the meal was the pie! The apple pie is the best I have ever eaten. The filling contained nice slices of apples, no mushy stuff here. And the crust was incredibly flaky with a bit of sugar baked on top. My husband ordered the cherry pie à la mode and was quite pleased with the pie and two little scoops of ice cream alongside. Nice staff too! This place is popular for a reason.

    There aren't exactly a ton of food options near Bryce Canyon and none of them look particularly…read moreinteresting. We decided to risk the lunch buffet for $18 at Ruby's Inn, figuring that there would be at least one item we would enjoy. There isn't much information about what's actually included in the buffet, either on review sites or on their own website, so we were a bit worried about the selection. While Ruby's Inn can't match a buffet in a larger city, we found the selection to be good enough, with plenty of protein and carb options, veggies including a salad bar, and dessert afterwards. Originally we thought most of the dishes would be Sysco food heated up, but I think Ruby's Inn actually makes a surprising number of items in house. Some notes for the meat selection: Pulled pork - dry but it's quite smoky like they actually smoked it rather than using liquid smoke. Zuppa Toscana Soup - might be from a bag, but is doctored a bit making it peppery and thick. Orange Chicken - gummy with thick breading and low meat ratio, but seems to be made with real orange juice in house. Meatloaf - dry with a thick layer of ketchup baked on top. Baked chicken - bone dry and extremely overcooked. For the carbs, there's sweet cornbread with a condensed milk sauce, rice pilaf that's surprisingly hearty, mashed potato that doesn't seem to be from powder or premix since it has small chunks still, that comes with chicken gravy, and finally mac & cheese, soft with a Velveeta-esque sauce. For dessert, there's vanilla and chocolate soft serve with Hershey's chocolate and caramel topping, and three types of standard buffet dessert squares. I don't make the food sound that appetizing (and honest it would deserve a 3 rating at max in any other setting), but considering the style of dining, the pricing, and the lack of competition in the area, it's good enough to satisfy. Pro-tip: try to time a visit around the tour buses. We arrived at 1:30PM on a Wednesday to a pretty empty restaurant. Thirty minutes later four entire tour buses unloaded their passengers, who were clearly ravenous due to eating such a late lunch. The restaurant instantly filled up and the line for food stretched down the hall and around the corner. Bathrooms - Plenty of larger rooms with multiple stalls around the hotel

The ribs come with one trip to the salad bar, a big baked potato (not the tiny ones so common in restaurants these days), and a few spears of asparagus. The ribs were meaty with plenty of sauce.

One didn't have any carrots or beets or other toppings that I wanted for my salad like the other section did, so check out what is in the salad bar before you get in line. There was a lady waiting to refill the mixed green/lettuce, and I offered to let her do it but she wanted to wait until after me even though there were others also waiting. My mixed greens were not the freshest. Buffet had things like macaroni and cheese, potatoes, vegetables, chicken, meatloaf, and desserts.

These are some serious songwriters and musicians who have collaborated with the Bellamy Brothers, Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Maddie and Tae. Some have appeared on Broadway and television. They entertained us with songs by country music royalty! Hank Williams Marty Robbins , Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie , Glen Campbell , Ronnie Milsap, Johnny cash, Dolly Parton, Kenny Roger's, and George Strait were all represented. It was a night of good clean family entertainment and comfort food.

However the food was quite bad...the shrimp had no flavor, even the coconut one. The fries were horrible. The asparagus was not cooked or even fit to serve.
