    chicken skewers

    We actually stayed at Kodachrome State Park but rode our e-bikes there after seeing pics. 12 miles one way ( but e-bikes so duh) but scenic and fun. This place was a great break in our RV trip. Fun, great views, gorgeous, met neat people at the bar and a good bartender. Food was delicious and although some staff seemed VERY new ( hostess unsure how to seat people and unaware how long the business had been there), a fun night. Def drop by and check it out....even if driving by. Or biking.

    S'mores after dinner

    Here's three things you should know about this place: 1- the ambience is unbeatable. Fire pits going outside, warm and cozy on the inside. 2- come with an expectation that food and service will be slightly above Applebees. We waited for about 12 minutes for our drinks. Miso salmon and burger were just ok. I recommend the dynamite shrimp and the Astro nut pistachio drink. 3- take advantage of the free s'mores after dinner. Grab your sticks and bags with all your s'more essentials at the reception desk.

    ~A Stellar Experience at Sky Nova~ Sky Nova is an absolute gem! From start to finish, my dining experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The menu is refreshingly creative and ever-changing, which made each dish feel like a new adventure. For dinner, I enjoyed the Thai shrimp poppers, carne asada tacos, and the unforgettable Ursa Major truffle fries--each bite packed with flavor and expertly crafted. The drinks were equally impressive. The Rose French 75 was elegant and refreshing, while the Watermelon Lavender Daiquiri offered a unique, floral twist that was both light and flavorful. And the Strawberries and Cream spiked ice cream cocktail? Pure dessert heaven--sweet, boozy, and indulgent in the best way. I returned for breakfast the next morning and was just as wowed. I had a cookie butter latte and the breakfast burrito; which was hearty and perfectly seasoned. Sky Nova has quickly become one of my favorite spots. The food is creative, the cocktails are memorable, and the atmosphere is both fun and relaxing. Can't wait to go back and see what they're serving next!

    We had a fantastic dinner with a large party here. At first, we were hesitant about sitting outside, but the atmosphere and temperature were absolutely perfect--it made for a great experience. Our waitress was phenomenal: attentive, friendly, and really made us feel taken care of. Several of us ordered the steak, and it was outstanding--cooked perfectly, generous in portion, and worth every bite. We wrapped things up with dessert, which was just as impressive. Highly recommend for both food and service!

    Friendly staff and great views. Sliders and fries were hot and delicious. We enjoyed the outdoor seating but there are indoor and private igloo options available.

    We stayed onsite in the domes for 3 nights. We enjoyed a few meals at SkyNova. Breakfast was good! The coffee was fabulous and the servers are so friendly. For dinner we shared the sliders and trout. The ambiance is cool and futuristic. The chairs have a cool look but are extremely heavy to move in and out. The friendly faces at the bar brought us back. We loved hearing their stories and sharing experiences with them. A shout out to Thalia, we wish her the best of luck in her adventures!

    Sky Nova restaurant so gorgeous.

    Clear Sky Resorts has really done it. You feel transported to another world. It's a splurge well worth it.

    The Dome. A phenomenal drink with a special flare at the beginning.

    Sky Nova at Bryce Canyon offers an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly complements its stunning location. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows showcase breathtaking views, making it ideal for sunset dinners or stargazing under the clear skies. The menu features a creative twist on classic American fare with highlights like their zesty citrus-herb trout and the star-gazer burger. The flavors are amazing, the portions are generous, and so tasty. The Zodiac milkshakes are also a must try (spiked or virgin), so delicious and a perfect end to an amazing dining experience. Service is friendly and attentive, Whether you're visiting Bryce Canyon for adventure or relaxation, Sky Nova is a must-visit spot to end your day on a high note.

    The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were good! The prices were too high, bases on the quality, etc. Still it's worth a visit!

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.

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.

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 found Rustler's on Google and saw they had a large menu and lower prices than other restaurants in the area. It's a lowkey restaurant inside of the same building as a grocery store and next to a gas station. We were seated very quickly but service was very, very delayed even service even though the restaurant was practically empty. We waited about 15 mins to get our order taken, and after we placed our order, we waited about 40 mins to an hour for our two burgers and a salad. A larger party that was seated after us was given their food and almost finished it before we were given ours. We actually had to ask a staff member if our order got lost in the queue. We ordered two Rustler's burgers and one Caesar salad. The burgers came with onion rings, barbecue sauce, and cheese, along with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions on the side. Never have I ever had a burger that was so plain and unseasoned. I don't think they seasoned my burger patty or fries at all. Even the onion rings in my burger were floppy and soggy.

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.

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.

Pistachio Chicken: The chicken breast was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a thin, crispy crust that was especially impressive. The sauce blended the mild aroma of Poblano chili, the creamy richness of butter, and the unique fragrance of herbs. Most precious was the pistachio aroma, both vibrant and subtle, without overpowering or masking the other flavors, creating a delicate balance. Even the saltiness was just right, subtle and delicate. The surface was garnished with pico de gallo, fresh, sweet, tangy, and spicy, balancing the potential heaviness of the sauce. The asparaguses were also very fresh, with a natural fragrance, but perhaps a little too mild with the sauce. Kanab Cowboy Ribs: The pork ribs were slow-cooked and roasted until they were so tender that they easily fell off the bone, offering no resistance when cutting into them. The homemade barbecue sauce coated it thickly, rich and sweet, with an authentic American barbecue flavor. It might be a bit too sweet for most Chinese palates, but I thought it was quite good. The agave mustard vinaigrette seemed more decorative; I nearly couldn't really taste it. Lemon Sorbet: Homemade sorbet, offering the most soulful finish. It was breathtakingly beautiful at first glance; the simple white porcelain plate and glass were limpid and elegant, perfectly matching the sorbet's style. Unlike typical sorbets that emphasize extreme acidity, this restaurant took a different approach, with a gentle, even subtle, acidity that brings out the natural, lively fragrance of lemon, like Lolita's touch through pale silk. The texture was also delicate and smooth, without any ice crystals. Everyone was captivated; some even ordered an extra to take away. The restaurant claims that ingredients come from its organic garden. This might be a pointless gimmick, but the cooking and presentation of the dishes conveyed a consistent level of refinement and care, making it all the more valuable.
