    Good food & good prices, especially in a tourist area. We got a variety of platters, pancakes, & sides -- all of which were filling, large portions, and delicious! Would come again. Cute interior, vintage diner look.

    Cool retro diner style. Sparkling clean with spotless bathrooms. Good solid diner food and Blue Bunny ice cream too. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Prices are good too. Plenty of parking.

    Really great classic little dinner in downtown Moab. Stopped in here on a road trip. Great ambience classic dinner feel. I only stopped in here for the ice cream which was delicious and totally worth. We had the strawberry malt, huckleberry malt and a chocolate sundae... all them were excellent very well made. The service was really good and the waitress was very respectful and service was fast and quick. Totally worth coming in..

    Overall good spot for breakfast in Moab. Came here looking for pancakes, and right away we were seated. Ordered their eggs, hash browns and pancakes. The pancake syrup tasted artificial, and not real maple syrup, which made the flavor just okay. Otherwise the food was good and serving was solid.

    SUCH a good meal! They give you a bunch of food for the all day breakfast which is especially great if you're coming from the nearby hikes! The service was super fast even though the diner was packed full for dinner. Our waitress was very attentive and brought our food to us hot and quickly!! Every dish I saw people have looked so delicious, seems like you can't go wrong with what you order here

    Smothered Burrito

    This place is amazing! I'm usually a sucker for an old-skool diner and I happen to find one right behind the hotel I was staying at. I've come here almost every day for the past 3 days for either lunch or dinner. Their prices are really reasonable considering all the other places are more. Service is really good and their food is awesome. Lunch gets a little busy but good for them. I've had their meatloaf, Eggs for breakfast and their smothered burrito with green chilli sauce one night for dinner. It's all been great.

    Such a cute diner!

    The perfect place to grab breakfast before embarking on the day's adventures. It's a small little cafe in the center of the main street that runs through Moab. It provides a very classic diner experience. The coffee and the food are really good. I'd definitely eat here again if I ever find myself back in Moab. It was actually the best meal we had while staying in the area.

    We came here hungry after a big day of hiking and were quickly seated and given waters without asking. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger + fries, a mushroom bacon cheeseburger + tomato bisque soup, and a cookies and cream milkshake to share. The food came out so fast I'm not sure how they cooked the burgers! Everything tasted great, fries could have more seasoning though. As Iowans, we liked that they sell Blue Bunny ice cream. The place filled up quick after 5:30 and everything people ordered looked so good. They have a good amount of booths and tables. The interior looks very much like an old school diner with the colors, decor, and ice cream counter. Prices were reasonable. Would recommend!

    Chicken soup side
    Mira S.

    Classic diner feel, friendly service, quick food prep. The cooking staff even greeted people and made sure they were seated quickly. The menu has some variety. The grilled chicken sandwich was very tasty, with a whole slice of green chili. I loved that side options included chicken soup, which had dumplings in it--it was the perfectly sized lunch! They have parking on each side. The only inconvenience is that there is only one restroom and it's outside.

    Great staff

    Good food, and better yet the best ice cream stop in town! Today we just came in for dessert after dinner!

    The Moab Diner's Sweetwater Skillets
    Lo M.

    Really cute classic diner in the heart of Moab's downtown neighborhood! The character of this place is very retro and old school, with traditional diner offerings like a full breakfast menu, burgers, shakes and malts. We went in for breakfast and I ordered the chorizo Sweetwater skillet, which was delectably spiced and filling. I also ordered a coffee malt and it HIT THE SPOT. You can order any ice cream flavor as a shake or malt, and it's a wonderful place to bring the whole family as a stop on your trip to beautiful Moab. The only downside was my friend's biscuits and gravy, which came out cold. Our service was prompt and friendly! We were in and out in a timely manner and had a great experience, ending our trip on a high note.

    Food was just average. I had beef/mashed potatoes/gravy. My wife had an omelet. Four stars due to quick and friendly service.

    Are there vegan options?

    I had a garden salad that was very fresh. It was honestly probably pretty basic but after a full morning of high altitude hiking the park it tasted like the best salad ever! Haha 😆

    Does the country gravy have sausage in it?

    Yes

    How long is breakfast served?

    To the best of my knowledge, they serve breakfast all day.

    Do they have a gluten free menu?

    No, they do not.

    This is one of the breakfast locations in Moab that is rated highly so we came here around 8:30am…read moreon 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!

    We got three breakfasts at Cactus Jacks. Unfortunately, all of them were cold and dry…read more 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.

    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.
