We ate at the Rocking V Cafe yesterday with our 3 grandsons. It was such an enjoyable experience! The food was great!! I had their enchiladas with chicken- yum!! My husband had the fish tacos with Mahi mahi. He said they were delicious! Three of us had their potato soup with jalapeños. Sooo good! Victor visits each table and mixes with the patrons. So very personal! Wait staff was friendly and social. We all give the Rocking V a big thumbs up!! read more

We all had the rib eye and it was cooked perfectly. 16 Oz and delicious. Also had the tomato basil soup which was very good as well. The desert oasis salad was ordered and it was bountiful with a savory dressing on top. All very good. No dessert this time. They do not have a bar but offer a drinks menu once seated. All very good. Server Wendy was very friendly and did a great job. I would highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food!! If you are in Kanab and looking for a place to eat the Rockin V is the place to go! My husband and I ordered the burger with hatch chilies, avocado, and bacon - AMAZING!! I also highly recommend the brussel sprouts ... prob the best I have eaten! read more

The Rocking V does Rock! One rarely finds a server as competent as wished, but here there is a whole stable of top flight servers. Flawless. There when you need it and thoroughly pleasant. You don't have to hope that you get the one decent server...they found the mother lode of them! Oh yes, the food. Equal to any. Santa Fe, San Francisco...this place would thrive anywhere. Beautiful presentation, delicious, creative. The meatloaf in chipotle sauce took this comfort dish to a level of complexity expected at the finest in Santa Fe. To find this in Kanab...such a joy! Big wonder. These people live near the most incredible landscape in the world...those hidden wonders like White Pockets. They go out and get inspired then pour the energy onto the lucky ones of us who get to dine with them. Fresh, organic, ingredients. Attention to detail and to atmosphere as well. Nice art in the gallery. I like eating upstairs in the gallery, too. Deservedly famous for the desserts. You'll feel like a friend in a few minutes. You'll never want to dine anywhere else if you are within a 100 miles of Kanab. Luckily, they are now open in winter, too. read more

Visited Rocking V Cafe for our 34th anniversary. First, the staff are all very nice and attentive. EVERYONE helped whenever they saw something that needed to be done. Our server was excellent. Second, the food was absolutely top notch. We ordered the Antipasto appetizer and I think we made the absolute best choice. But then I've never had any other appetizer there! They might all be 'the best choice'. I just know that we totally enjoyed that particular one. As for main entrees my husband had the Creamy Chicken Marsala. He loved it. It was not the 'usual' and that was very refreshing. I had the Deep Dish Enchilada. Great great great! I had the chicken add on and it was over the top good. Overall we had a VERY nice visit to this cafe and would recommend it to everyone! read more

The pork chop and ribeye cooked fantastically. Best dinner in Kanab. anAnd most important the service is pretty fast and good! read more

Thank you for the amazing food and amazing service during our lunch visit! Our waiter, Derrick, was maybe the most friendly server I've ever had. Dan, despite not being our waiter, talked to us and made sure we were okay, helping to make this restaurant's service the best I have encountered. The food is amazing. I tried the steak sandwich (A+ flavor) but I'm sure anything you could get here is a home run! It's a nice building, fun to look around. Good, welcoming ambiance. Great experience, and sorry if I forgot a name :) you made our happy visit in Kanab even better. (Afterthought: if deciding between here and the nearby Sego, I totally would choose here! Both are good but we enjoyed here more) read more

I was worried when we stayed in Kanab that we may have limited dinner options but was pleasantly surprised by this place! The food was extremely fresh! My husband got the trout which looked amazing and I got some polenta cakes which were excellent and super filling. This place is a little more expensive than our usual on the road meal but the quality was worth it! Only draw back was that it was pretty busy for the random Monday night we stopped by and the hostess had to turn away a larger group without reservations in front of us in line. Might think about calling ahead if you have more than 2 in your group. read more

I really like this quirky little place. Food was awesome and they have beer that is hard to find in the state of Utah. I had fish tacos and my wife had grilled chicken. Both were great. Possibly priced to high but the food was quality. The soup that comes with the meal was superb. We will definitely eat here on our next visit and we look forward to. THe outdoor patio is very nice and gives it a local appeal. Loved the place. read more

Adobe chicken is a great choice, followed by the bread pudding for dessert Pricy but worth it.

AMAZING! Incredible food and service. Restaurant has such charm. The owner greated us and took us to our table. So fun to talk with. We stopped here on a whim and so glad we did.The food is authentic and wonderful. All foodies will love it. Very impressed with everything about the restaurant. read more

The adult family members decided to go here for dinner and loved our meals. I ordered a pork/chicken burger and it was delicious and filling. We loved it so much that two days later we ate there again. It is a little pricy but worth the price. It is delicious. Second time I was there I ordered rib eye and it was tender and very taste explosion. It was so good I signed up for Yelp just to give them a good review excellent customer service and everyone even the people who work serving us were very friendly read more

Great food. Welcoming attitude and service. Appreciate the attention to bringing water and treats for the dogs.

Didn't know what to expect walking in, but was pleasantly surprised by the warm staff and the desert-chic interior. Food tasted fresh, and was presented well, and our server was well versed in the menu and where certain ingredients ( meats and cheeses) were soured. The waitstaff were friendly but not overbearing. Will certainly be back! read more

Wonderful place to stop for lunch! The flank steak sandwich was delicious! The service was awesome!

Don't pass this place up because of the name or outside look. It is an outstanding restaurant. The steak is great, but everything we had was outstanding. The service was friendly and prompt. I'd recommend this to anyone. Just an outstanding restaurant. A little pricey but well with it. read more

Ate here twice in our trip through southwest Utah. Both meals were excellent. Nice menu with a local flair. Lots of fresh veggies and healthy options. The seafood salad was amazing! read more

Stopped here on our way from Antelope Canyon to Zion. Being from urban west coast, it was a delightful surprise and nice to see vegetarian options on the menu. We settled on the veggie enchilada and adobe chicken. We both cleaned out plates they were delicious. The wait staff were also very friendly and attentive. Wish were driving through this part of the country more often. read more

Very mixed bag. Mojito was good. Thai curry was bad with burnt veggies and lacking curry flavor. Service and was smoked trout was good. Desert salad was incredible. read more

We had take out from here and it was good, not as good as the prices indicate but good. Its one of the only restaurants in the area that has a good variety of seafood. The food was okay but nothing special. The portions were small, much smaller than expected. I wouldn't recommend based on this experience. read more

We came here for dinner while in town as we saw they had some vegetarian options on the menu. Nicely decorated and a good atmosphere. The prices are a little high but the food was tasty. We ordered the Veggie Enchiladas and Polenta Cakes plus a Vegan Chocolate Mousse for dessert. They don't serve beer on draft but did have some Uinta beers by the bottle. Enjoyed our meal! read more

Awesome experience. Their steak is to die for! Overall great ambience... the staff was good too.

Ordered a$25 trout and it was completely tasteless. No salt, no spice, no flavor. The people were very nice, but the food was disappointing

i really wanted to give this place agreat review - i called from the road and made a reservation for an hour ahead. when i arrived the table was not ready - they then offered me a horrible dark table next door on the side walk and when i refused that they offered to set up a wonky table on the corner which was unacceptable there was a table for one that soon became available but it was given to a couple - i was alone. i was left alone. i was ignored. when i had called earlier the owner told me how pretty the patio was - it was not - it was the side walk and the tables he offered me were awfull. the owner was all bluff and attitude. to compensate me for the bad service they offered me absolutely nothing - not a glass of wine nor a desert nor a discount. i paid $48 for a mediocre steak and full price for two glasses of wine. the food was alright but the price and the experience were not. read more

My wife and I arrived at 4:15, the Hostess informed us they stopped serving lunch and were switching to the Dinner menu at 5pm. We would have to sit and wait 45 minutes, so we left. Hostess didn't offer any suggestions. Totally stupid!!! And horrible customer service! You should never let a customer walk out. They lost our business!! read more

The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the ambience was eclectic and fun. Very impressed all around.

I loved everything about this restaurant. Dinner started off with a tomato basil soup that was the perfect balance of flavors. It was served with fresh bread and a balsamic dipping sauce. The main course was the deep dish enchilada with chicken, and it did not disappoint! Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. The crown jewel of the meal was the dessert... bread pudding with caramel sauce (whiskey sauce also available). One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Highly recommend it! read more

Rocking V Cafe - Bread pudding with caramel sauce - New American Near Me - Kanab, Utah

Average food, overpriced, very friendly staff. We ordered a vegan dish that was rice, vegetables and tofu. It was rice heavy, with slivers of vegetables. The tofu tasted either old or not drained. The dish could've been amazing with more vegetables, less rice and fresh tofu. The dish was overpriced - $16. :( Everyone was super friendly and nice, from the woman who seated us to the wait staff etc. read more

Place is great for being out of town. Bailey was an awesome server. Food is good. Chicken masala was good. Great place!!!

Such an amazing stop in Kanab! All the Staff was so energetic & helpful. Enchilada dish was amazing, as was the Rueben special. Just great all around atmosphere, staff, & food options. We will be back next time we're in Kanab! read more

The service here was great! Staff was super courteous and efficient. They gave us a heads up because their kitchen was switching from lunch to dinner and were apologetic that we would have to wait. By the time we ordered had our bread and soup we had our entrees right away and didn't have to wait at all. We had a group of 6 that all ordered different things and we all enjoyed every single bit of it. Would stop by again if I happen to be around Kanab. read more

If I could pick one restaurant to eat at in Kanab, this would be it. Heck, if I could pick one restaurant to eat at in the state of Utah, this would be it. Not only is the vibe fantastic and the artwork local and beautiful, but the food is truly delicious. The menu is inventive without being pretentious, and there is something for everyone there. During our visits, we had the pork chopper, pasta, garden salad, cheesecake, ice cream, mushroom burger, and cheeseburger. (Can you tell we're super health conscious? Ha!) My husband and I are from NYC and are surrounded by amazing food constantly; my husband insists this cheeseburger was better than any other establishment. The servers are friendly and attentive, and the owner, Victor, is gregarious, warm, and clearly loves meeting people at his restaurant. He is happy to give recommendations for activities nearby but also other eateries that he recommends. When eating at the Rocking V, I left every time satisfied with my meal and also feeling like a valued part of the community. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Stopped by on a Friday night and wasn't expecting much.... completely blown away. We ordered everything from pasta to tenderloin to salmon and trout. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection!!!! Staff was very welcoming and hard working; taking away dirty dishes as soon as we were done with them, refilling our water cups, and asking if we needed anything. Our server, Lisa, was absolutely amazing and friendly and she's from AZ like us... so an even bigger plus. HIGHLY recommend this place... wide variety on the menu and ask for Lisa!!! read more

Food is pretty decent but pricey. Staff friendliness is up and down depending on who you get. I wouldn't mind going back but it would not be my first choice. read more

For fine dining their food wasn't good at all. Very average. We had the tomato soup which came with the Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken and a grilled chicken salad. Neither of which we liked at all. The grilled chicken had hardly any flavour and the Alfredo was pretty much as flavourful as a store bought one. Wish I had skipped it and made it my self. read more

Beautiful decor. Friendly, competent service. Sadly uninspired food. Not terrible - just flat... across the board. It was a fine post travel day meal and certainly better than eating fast food on the road, but I love food too much to go back. read more

Service is extremely friendly and smiley. The place has a very unique decoration and special charm to it. However for the price i don't think that the food is very good, ( average $25 per entree). I payed $6 more to get shrimps instead of tofu, and 4 shrimps is all i got :(. The salad also seemed like it had been in the fridge for a long time and was not fresh. read more

My niece and I ate here while we were spending a week at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in June 2017. Our first meal was dinner and both meals were delicious! From the minute we walked in the door, the hostess warmly greeted us and our server was excellent! We returned for lunch on our way back to Vegas. I had The Wave, delish chicken wrap and my niece had the Kanab-a-dab-a-doo burger We each could only finish half. Our server not only packed up the other halves, but added an ice bag, napkins and utensils. Our food stayed fresh during the long drive back to Vegas and we enjoyed our leftovers in our hotel room that night. Loved this place! read more

We stopped in for lunch and had the southwestern chicken salad and voodoo roaster sandwich both were good however the mashed potatoes that came with the voodoo roaster sandwich was excellent. We will defiantly check this out for dinner during our stay. read more

Best food around town plus has great drinks and local beers. This will definitely be a top spot to stop at if you go through Kanab. The food was delicious and service was awesome. The atmosphere is nice and casual with a great gallery up stairs to check out. read more
