We arrived about 6 and waited about 20 minutes for a very nice booth. We split a pretty good-sized house salad. It was fine. I had the trout with asparagus and sweet potato fries. 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. It HAS to be that incredible pie.

Showdowns is definitely one of the best. Wide open lawns with shady trees you step down into Showdowns restaurant. Great outdoor seating near thier fire pit and equally good seating at small comfortable picnic tables inside close to the very good but not overwhelming live music. Very friendly waitresses are ready to take your order from a wide variety of options from steaks, to trout to barbeque with salads and soups for lighter fare. While they had a good number of local beers we opted for diet cokes. The wife had red pepper gouda soup and grilled cheese sandwich while I opted for the ribs with coleslaw and Jacked fries. The soup was marvelous in flavor and body. The sandwich on a very fresh foccasia bread with pesto and grilled cheese. Excellent. My ribs came with four bones seared perfectly, a freh greens Coleslaw and the fries with melted cheese and Jack Daniel's sauce. Amazing. While the fries could have been hotter and a normal half rack is 5 to six bones, I was completely satisfied by the flavors and textures. Terrific. We finished the Neal with a flour less cake with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream. More than enough for two. When seated you get a bowl of fresh popcorn and all smiles from the Excellent waitstaff. Plenty of parking in a beautiful relaxing setting. Highly recommended!

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. It was a good dinner. The buffet has two sections for salad. 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.
