A small-town eatery that serves a basic lunch menu of burgers, sandwiches, salad, chicken fingers, soups etc. as well as a dinner menu. There's also homemade pie. There weren't many places to eat in the area but this is a solid option. The burger and grilled cheese were pretty good and both came with fries. Prices also reflected the area. Wasn't a fan of the deer head decor in one of the rooms but I'm sure it's more normal in this area. The few customers seemed to be locals. Nice service too, though slightly slow. The music of Daughtry was on a loop. read more

Looked sketchy at first but was alright. Food was really good, service was also pretty good idk what y'all saying in the end other reviews with slow service but it wasn't that bad, only about 20 minutes to get a full order for five people. The inside was interesting, looked like I was in a basement, had like 6 animal heads and a random 3d printer. Other than that it was great, food was good get the curly fries omg they were so good getting them next time which most likely won't happen since this place is in the middle of nowhere. Staff was friendly, I had a great time. read more

Best pie for a hundred miles. I was shocked when I found out the new owner made it herself! Perfect little cafe for a beautiful little town.

Great little diner on the drive from Bryce to Capital Reef. Service was remarkably friendly. Food was not fancy, but delicious with plentiful portions. Burgers and fries are always a win. read more

We stopped here after hiking and driving all day. The cafe is nothing to look at. However, they have excellent burgers, fries, chicken strips and onion rings. The drinks are huge and the service was great. Don't be deceived by outside appearance. read more

Thank goodness this is a great place to eat! McDonald's is forty minutes that away on the highway. Secret? I have been enjoying a burger & fries here since 1968. That's loyalty, yes? Nuts to that! I've been coming here for the grub for the better part of fifty years whenever I can. read more

SLOW service! Took almost an hour to get 2 cheeseburgers. The French fries were the shoestring ones and they tasted like old grease. The waiter acted like we were annoying him. I guess it's a small town, so they have little competition. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the cheeseburger was hot and tasty. read more

Stopped here for brunch on our way from Bryce Canyon to CO. It was the perfect place to grab a bite! The owner greeted us warmly and was quick to accommodate our dietary needs. I got a vegetarian omelette (an adaptation of the ham and cheese omelette from the menu) and my husband got French toast. Both were hearty and delicious- great fuel for our long day on the road- and very affordable! The owner even gave us a pro tip to the cheapest gas nearby when we inquired (second gas station in Loa- 10 cents cheaper than the first). read more

Koosharem Cafe - a tree with pink flowers - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Koosharem, Utah

As a non-white person entering this restaurant, be prepared for some MEAN looks and stare-downs. I was really surprised by the people in Utah coming in from the Eastern Yellowstone entrance toward Zion. There are mostly farmer and locals who do NOT get out and see or experience other types of people with different skin colors or culture for that matter (by choice, maybe). Shortly after entering we saw the animal trophy heads on the wall and the carpeting in the restaurant - I was starting to feel uncomfortable. We were greeted by the host in a "what the hell just walked into my restaurant" type of courtesy *starring at me*. I tried to brush it off, except for the old white guy with his wife across the way just staring me down the whole time. He was so offended by my presence there he could not even swallow his food, and oh yeah, skipped his normal pie he gets. The other old white couple also left with 5 minutes of our arrival. I was so uncomfortable here, I had to walk outside while they were prepping the food, and even got our food to go after 5 hours of driving. The food was okay, got the mushroom swiss burger. It was soggy and not sure if they spit in my food. Not much choice in this part of Utah. There are no fast food restaurants in podunk Utah. Try this restaurant if you want to go back in history 50 years and want to experience racism, otherwise pack your sandwich from Yellowstone. What an experience! read more

This place is one of those diamonds in the rough. From all appearances it doesn't look like much, but the food is very good. The Koosherum Burger is one of the better tasting burgers in the entire state! However two things to be aware of. One, it is a major lunch destination for Atv/Utv riders because it is so near a major off road trail from across the mountains. There are times you can't even get a seat or a parking place because there are so many Utv riders there eating. I can't blame them. it is good food. Two, never go there if you are in a hurry. There is only one cook and he does his best, but sometimes the sheer volume of customers really bogs things down. However the family that owns and operates this business are super nice people, so be polite and patient you will eventually get your food. For me, it's worth the wait. read more

Hamburgers and homemade fries are amazing. The soups are also great. Pretty much everything I've tried has been really good. Save room for pie! This is delicious homemade food prepared and served by friendly people. We love Koosharem Cafe! read more

I've eaten here many times, I have never had a bad Item, Tina the owner is fantastic! Food is very good, served hot, and the service is great! read more

Koosharem Cafe - the front of the building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Koosharem, Utah

We stopped here on the way to Capital Reef. Weren't able to find anything close by other than this restaurant, but this cute little cafe was excellent. Prices were reasonable. The service and food were excellent. We ordered grilled cheese and fries, a couple of salads, and shakes everything was delicious and the staff was very nice! read more

A little oasis after miles and miles of open cattle grazing. Clean and pleasant ambiance in this family-owned business--a place clearly frequented by locals and folks passing through to and from work, and just what I needed after a seedy dining and lodging experience in Otter Creek. The food is great and the service is pleasant. I had a cheeseburger enhanced by finely chopped lettuce tossed in a thousand island type of dressing. My husband had a root beer float with his meal, and I had apple pie with ice cream for dessert. Recommend!! Nothing to not like about Koosharem Cafe! read more

Wonderful place for breakfast. Bland from the outside but welcoming and attentive inside. Good food prepared perfectly. Everyone checking on coffee and drinks making sure everything is ok. No one should go through Koosharem without stopping for a "home cooked" meal. read more

Such a cute diner. We stayed in koosharem for several days helping some friends with a little home improvements. We ate at the cafe a few times. The diner is very clean. The cook/owner , Tina, is very friendly and welcoming. We came here for breakfast and we all enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend eating here. read more

Food was tasty and good sized portions. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Place was clean and charming. The only negative was the meal prep time was lengthy--about 30 minutes for a Kashooram burger dish and a steak plate--and the restaurant wasn't busy. It's possible that the locals aren't in a rush but as travelers on a schedule, a little bit of service speed would have made it a 5 star experience. read more

We stopped by and had lunch, which was a wonderful experience! Family, family, family experience! Nothing but the best! Then we had a freshly made scone. No words! Just an experience! Perfect! Unbelievable! Since then, we've had bunches around the same area in Utah; nothing, nothing compares! Do yourself a favor! Enjoy! ( Then stop by the Mercantile just next door and pick up several dozen of the freshest, tastiest eggs you will ever eat)! read more

Fished up in this area and found this little diamond in the rough. Had a double cheeseburger, was outstanding. Friendly service. Everything looked great read more

We stopped here on our ATV's and had a delicious meal. The service and food was great. We followed up our meal with a milkshake which was wonderful. read more

Great place to grab a quick drink on the road--delicious Oreo milkshake (seriously one of the best we've ever had), and somehow even the Coke tasted better than normal. Friendly staff too. Stop by on your way to Capitol Reef! read more

Loved this place! In the middle of nowhere on our way to Logan UT from Bryce Canyon. Very welcoming, great service and the best homemade handcut fries we have ever had! Get a milkshake on your way out! read more

I haven't eaten here since the 1980's. It was FABULOUS then and it was AMAZINGLY FABULOUS today!!!! Everything is homemade, the owner is a great hostess and equally great cook! Skip going east or west in Utah on the 70 freeway and detour through Koosharem to stop, rest and eat at this very special place in a beautiful valley. I am sorry it took my over 25 years to return. I will be back again and again!!! Thanks ... read more
