Best food around. I ordered ribs, so delicious. My husband ordered the Rod Kill Burger, he loved it. Our friends were with is and loved it also. Service was fantastic. Thank you staff!!! read more

This was next door to our motel, so we gave it a try. A mistake. No ambience, prices were on the high side, and the food was just passable. Service was fine. read more

I came here with my girlfriend and her 12 yo daughter on a Wed night close to 9pm. We had driven from San Diego to Bryce Canyon and squeezed in a quick 1.5 hr hike before sunset. By the time we finished our hike it was getting pretty late and our dinner options were running slim. We were staying at the Bryce Canyon Resort and decided to try the restaurant on site. We had plans to eat at the Bryce Canyon Pines Restaurant but we were running short on time to get there. The reviews for Cowboy Ranch House were not great so it was not our first choice. Anyway we walked in and there were about 5 tables having dinner which looked fairly busy. The restaurant was well lit and the decor definitely Western Cowboy. It was a female server that seated us and Jesus, which we learned later was the new manager as of a few months ago. Jesus was our server and very friendly. I got the 14oz ribeye which said it was 'local' on the menu which made it even more attractive. My girlfriend ordered the 1/2 Rack of Pork Ribs (bummed I didn't get a pic) to share with her daughter. OMG the ribeye was fantastic...well seasoned and perfectly med-rare! And to top that off it was only $34!!! Unheard of in San Diego for a ribeye with sides. The Pork Ribs were also freakin' good! Crispy, juicy and fall off the bone delicious. As well, I ended up getting 2 old fashioneds which were $11 each...again decent priced cocktails. I highly recommend this place despite the reviews of the past. I think Jesus had something to do with the more recent high praise reviews being the new manager. I wish we had stayed another night so that I could get the ribeye again but we were pushing to get to Yellowstone the next day. Hands Down...best meal in Bryce Canyon!! read more

Cowboy Ranch House - 14 oz local ribeye with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. Fantastic steak and price! $34 - American Near Me - Bryce Canyon, Utah

With limited options in the area we took our best bet with this place. Wishing I bet otherwise. The staff was nice and it looked clean enough. The food on the other hand was just not it. There were four of us in the party and we ordered chips and salsa, a sprite, two waters and an ice tea to start. The waters and the sprite were brought but the tea never made it. The chips and salsa were definitely store bought, nothing fresh about it. I ordered the 3 street tacos, one chicken and two steak, the only good one was the chicken. The steak was gray and very chewy and was just "icky". The rice and beans that came with were the same, you could tell they were store bought and not homemade. My daughter orders the kids pasta and thankfully we ordered the sauce on the side because it was not good, but the buttered noodles you really couldn't mess up on. My son and husband ordered the road kill burgers and although it was edible, it just lacked. Like I mentioned we were staying in the area and our options were limited, but our overall experience was just not as expected. read more

Good not bad, they are open late so good for leaving park late and it is near by. Had the road kill which was okay, someone had a burger was just ok, steak was well cook and overall okay, nachos were alright, enchiladas were decent a lil different but overall a good place to eat around here. Didn't take took long to get the food. Worth a stop if you are looking for a place to eat in the evening. read more

Cowboy Ranch House - Menu I think the menu has changed looks slimmed down a bit. - American Near Me - Bryce Canyon, Utah

We shared the half chicken which was delicious. The roasted vegetables were chunks of zucchini, squash, bell peppers and onions: fresh and well cooked. Yum read more

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. read more

Service was excellent. Jesus was very kind. One advantage it's the only restaurant open after 9pm.

My wife had the chicken fajitas and I had the mixed chicken and steak fajitas and both were excellent. I usually get the combo fajitas because often the steak is tough but the steak was good here! Very good margaritas too. Ask for sour cream and salsa if they're not served with your side of refried beans and rice (both also very good!) read more

Loved the Roadkill entree! Fresh roasted veggies not frozen. Great service and they have 3 TV's to play your desired game.

Super lovely food close to where we were staying for the week in Bryce Canyon City!! Staff is very kind and their strawberry margarita is one of the best I've ever had (our server recommended it!) :) Definitely recommend if you are in the area! read more

Don't let the negative reviews fool you. We had a good meal here. It's not fancy but it's clean, friendly service and home cooking type meals. We were pleasantly surprised. Enjoy! read more

This restaurant was an unexpected surprise at the end of a day in Bryce Canyon. The food was good, we had the steak street tacos and the queso dip. The decor was warm and classic cowboy and the service very pleasant. Special shout out to Gabriela. We would definitely eat there again. read more

The 3 star average rating says it all. Way understaffed. Had dinner last night. Came in because the price of a 10 oz filet was only $37. Comes with a salad. The Mrs. Got the wrong salad dressing. Out of most of the beers on their list. We received what kind of looked like a filet but not the kind of filet you get in a big city steakhouse. Veggies were mostly zucchini and a dollop of garlic mashed potatoes. Asked for a red wine with dinner but no bottles available. You can order a house wine glass for $6. They charge extra if paying with a credit card. 3 stars overall. Felt sorry for the 2 staff dealing with the overload of customers even at 8 pm. Considering the price it was ok. Nothing special. Unfortunately the restaurant selection in the area is really limited. Take about 15 minutes and drive down the hill to tropic and get a pizza at the pizza place. Probably the best reasonably priced restaurant in the area. read more

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. read more

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. --- read more

If this restaurant were in a big city, I would give it a 3. The food was very good. I had the ribs and my wife had the roasted chicken. We shared the carrot cake for dessert, which was excellent. My only issue was the service. Everything took too long. The place was not crowded, so I don't know what the problem was. Seems like a simple fix. read more

This place was pretty good, I had read reviews and was a little skeptical and when we walked in it was very clean from the start. We sat down and realized the prices were very high but we were hungry so we ordered. Our server was very friendly and efficient, and was super helpful. We got our food and we realized why it was high, the portions were huge! I just got a Caesar salad and I couldn't finish it (the only thing is that I added chicken but it was either canned or fajita refrigerated strips) the other people in my party got the roasted chicken and it was INCREDIBLE and so was the mashed potatoes! The Buffalo Burger was amazing but the French fries were something else. I highly recommend this place, if you're willing to spend 100$. read more

Website says they are open. Yelp says they are open. They are definitely not open. Waste of a long drive. Find something else more reliable.

Service was good, the young man worked his butt off and the poor food was not his fault! They would have been better off using frozen TGI Friday Jalapeño Poppers, theirs were horrible and their little taco appetizer was straight outa the frozen Old El Paso frozen bag! Should have went to the Subway next door! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Super casual, old west atmosphere. Tried it for dinner and it was plain, simple food, without much seasonings. Breakfast buffet had toast, undercooked pancakes, scrambled eggs, milky oatmeal (I think that's what it was) hash browns, cornflakes, and fruit loops. No service of any kind, and no one ever asked us to pay. If you want a mediocre free breakfast, this is the place! read more

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. read more

Cowboy Ranch House - Good portion of Caesar salad and bowl of chili. - American Near Me - Bryce Canyon, Utah

Ordered nachos. Came out in about 5 minutes. Had to send back because it was lukewarm. Cheese hadn't even melted! I understand one needs to temper expectations in a small town with limited options. However, I can't in good conscience recommend this place. One positive: loved the bartender. Very friendly and the place has a nice selection of suds. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Cowboy Ranch House - Chicken Caesar Salad - American Near Me - Bryce Canyon, Utah

We wasn't expected the food were so awesome before when we searched the yelp. We just looked around the yelp and decided to give this restaurant a chance. OMG.....amazing service by Gerry and wonderful food. The taco salad with beef were so good. The Beef was very juicy and tender, veggies were so fresh. To be honest, I am allergic to beef if it is not grass fed. However, somehow, I am totally fine with their beef, I have no reaction at all. Great drink, great food. Highly recommend when you travel to Bryce Canyon. read more

Well hubby and I tried to get a To Go order from here but was not even acknowledged at the door. One gentleman was working the front but there were three of us waiting to be seated and or take out and were ignored. Not even it will be a 15 minute wait or are you eating in or taking out. After waiting for about 15 minutes we all just left. Really bummed read more

Service in the bar area was great! My boyfriend had the prime rib and I had ribs...both were good. Beer selection was also good and the service was great. The music playing was also fun! Not sure why this place has bad reviews...we had a good experience and would go back again. read more

Do yourself a favor, and get food somewhere else. If you are staying late in the Bryce area, be sure to hit up a different food place (many close before 9pm so plan ahead). It was really expensive, and really not good. The ribs fell off the bone, but was full of bone pieces and cartilage and were not flavorful. We ordered the hot and zesty wings and I'm pretty sure we got barbecue. The mashed potatoes are like getting a scoop of mashed potatoes from your elementary school cafeteria. The food came out fast, and our server was friendly, but there's not much else good to say about this place. read more

I took some friends here who were from out of town. I asked the server if the enchiladas are good or should I stay away from them. He suggested that the enchiladas are the best choice between them or the nachos, so I ordered the chicken enchiladas. The food came out in less than 5 minutes and I immediately knew we were in trouble. The enchiladas were clearly made yesterday or possibly a few days earlier. The meat was cold, tortillas old and the cheese on top was reheated. Without a doubt these were pre-made and reheated in a microwave. It's even possible I got enchiladas that were ordered by someone yesterday and then just shelved until someone ordered them next. Stay away from this place unless you like reheated leftovers. read more

Literally the last option I would recommend, and that's being generous. The only reason to stop here is because they open until 10PM and everything else in a 20 mile radius closes around 9 PM 1. Bad service; combination of mismanagement and understaffing 2. Below average, bland food; had some fish dishes that were frankly subpar (to be fair, the green beans were nice) and flavorless. Did not justify the price tag 3. Not taking any COVID related precautions. 0 signs of masks, hand sanitizer usage, wiping down tables after each guest leaves, contact tracing, asking to see vaccine cards, etc. read more

Caught them at dinner time Friday night. They seated us in the bar. Ordered a bison burger and a roadkill ground patty. Both were over cooked & slow to get to the table considering they were'nt busy when we arrived. Dryest bison I've ever eaten. Overpriced for what we got. read more

The worst dining experience we have ever had. Understaffed. Unfriendly workers. Food came out 1.5 hours later for 2/4 people. Forgot all the drinks. Was not served water. They forgot the beers. Asked for medium steak and got rare. Returned the steak and never got the replacement. Only a few options in town and this review won't change your mind but the experience we had was 0/5 stars. Not good! read more

We are staying in town for the Bryce Canyon National Park and looking for some good local foods.

Highly recommended. read more

Starters were good, the steaks we ordered were not fresh and very dry (I imagine they may have come out of the freezer). The feeling that the food is very neither fresh nor tasty, most of the dishes remained intact at the end of the meal. A really nice waitress apologized and said they would give us a $60 discount on a $400 bill. I do not recommend going there at all read more

Surprised the food was so good given the reviews. My aunt is picky and enjoyed the New York. Our new friend from our tour enjoyed her ribeye. The elk burger was good too, ask for medium (barley pink). The road kill was also enjoyable and the gravy is not too rich. Meat fajitas also good. Server was very kind. read more
