Bit & Spur Restaurant & Saloon

Cute and clean restaurant with excellent Southwestern and Mexican choices. The food was delicious, with nice portions and great flavor. Service was excellent! (Thank you Abbey!) If I lived here, I would come here very regularly. You should definitely eat here when in Zion if you like Mexican food with a Southwestern flair.

This Mexican restaurant near our hotel was absolutely amazing — not just because of the food, but because the servers were incredibly friendly, gorgeous, and stylish. Honestly, my wife and I spent more time complimenting them over a cold beer than talking about the food, ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Their outfits and overall vibe were top-notch. Most places in Springdale are great value, and this one was no exception. You should definitely stop by here before heading to Zion Canyon. Such a fun experience!

Very enjoyable dinner after a long day in an incredible setting in Springdale. If you like Mexican/Southwestern food with sprinkles of homemade influences, then this is your restaurant. Service: The waiting staff were informative, friendly and efficient. Received some great recommendations from the menu, very useful for those of us who aren't overly familiar with Mexican/SW food Atmosphere: This place gets very busy, very fast, and the noise levels shoot up quickly. It has a great energetic buzz with the waiting staff rushing about the restaurant keeping customers happy. We loved it, but it might not be ideal for someone seeking a quite retreat during dinner. Food & Drinks: From the enchiladas to the classic Mac & Cheese with a twist, everything ordered on the menu was was very tasty all round. Can highly recommend the homemade lemon & lime tart for dessert if you like a tangy but sweet combination. Finally, the cocktails were a popular choice for drinks throughout the restaurant - the watermelon margarita was out of this world tasty! Incredibly good value mocktails too.

This culinary experience was quite interesting! The dishes are delicious and filling, although I think they're even spicier than real Mexican dishes! The service was very good. The place is very pleasant and the atmosphere is calm. It was a great choice for us because most restaurants in the area close early at night, and this restaurant was open until 10 p.m.

I have allergies to seed oils, however this establishment was very patient in helping me customize a meal to my dietary needs. I was especially grateful and would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a fresh healthy meal. The food was excellent!

Gorgeous grounds for starters!! 🙌🏽 They are dog friendly on their beautiful patio. Loved all the colored lights! In a world where every other place closes at 8 or 9, they are brave enough to stay open until 9:30. Drinks were priced well and pretty tasty. The Mac n cheese was ahhhhmazing. Perfection!! Corn fitters were limey and delish. Super friendly hostess and wait staff. We also appreciated the carafe of water on table and tin cups. Thanks for one last nice meal in this beautiful setting!!

We were staying at Flanigans for the night to visit Zion and didn't want to drive so we walked 1 mi each way (kinda far but thats ok). Wanted to get food and cocktails to end the night of hiking. They had a fresh watermelon margarita special that night so I got it. Hubby got meatloaf, I got the shrimp pasta with capers, my son got the tacos and we got taco salad to share. Servings are good for sharing, guess we were starving. To end the meal, we got the brownie creme brulee. So yummy. At least the walk back helped coz we ate too much! Nice Tex Mex restaurant

Every dish we tried was delicious! We started with the nachos (perfectly crispy and loaded with toppings), moved on to the tacos (packed with flavor), chicken pasta and sweet potato tamales (pork) - an amazing combination we’d never had before! The service here was also great - our server checked in regularly to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Overall very recommend this place.

I'm not sure what took us so long to decide to eat here because it was awesome! We were celebrating a 40th birthday in Zion and wanted something a little bit more upscale but it was also late. The reviews for Bit and Spur were solid but no one was feeling Mexican food. The restaurant has a large indoor and outdoor dining area and a huge lawn area with relaxing vibes and cool lighting. It was causal and laid back but the menu was sophisticated enough that we didn't feel like we were at a diner on a birthday. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful, along with the whole staff. The kids had homemade blue berry lemonade and it was a hit. We started with chips, salsa, and queso and it was gone immediately! Sooo good! We ordered the mango coconut shrimp and wished we'd ordered another because it was flavorful and cooked well! We ordered the sweet potato tamale and the flautas verde. The flautas verde was delicious and huge. The sweet potato tamale was thoughtful...it wasn't what we'd imagined but the ingredients were quality. The idea makes sense, I just think it fell a little short on execution and delivery. Still good food though! We ordered the triple berry crumble for dessert and it tasted like something out of grandmas kitchen. So dynamic and so yummy! They even put a candle in it for the birthday which was really sweet. Between the views, the staff, and the delicious food, the restaurant topped off the birthday wishes for this milestone birthday. Thank you bit and spur! When in Springdale we will definitely be back!

Let me set the scene first! It's 102 degrees in early June and a wildfire broke out a couple of miles from the west entrance. They closed the park west entrance and advised people to drive the 2.5 HOURS to the east entrance. All of the food, groceries and gas are at the west end! We set up camp, hot, sweaty and ready for food. Driving west, everything appeared to be closed. WTH? It's 6:30 pm on a Friday night. We had no idea the fire knocked out the electricity to EVERYTHING in 'town'! We saw people standing in front of B&S and stopped. We learned about no electricity but employees were waiting outside, in the misters, hoping the electricity would be restored! They had a bluegrass band scheduled and reservations were full!! Ximenez, with a very cool tie dyed shirt, said they were holding staff in hopes power would come back on! We went to the grocery store, which had a generator and was open, to get anything to eat that didn't require electricity. We stood in line of 50 people to check out and.... Electricity back on! Put away our groceries and came back! So, being about 100 degrees, 30+ people standing in line... the food was great, the servers still ready to kick butt and get it done!! Everyone was friendly and hustled to get food and drinks out! Thank you to the entire staff who stuck it out and took care of everyone!! That's dedication!!

We love this restaurant. The service is amazing. The food is really good, atmosphere fun! BUT ,I tried to get a hold of a manager but their phone service doesn't allow you to talk to a representative. We saw an incident that needs to be rectified. We visited there and sat outside on the patio. There's a family there that has a little boy who helps the servers out which is very cute and nice, but he plays in the dirt and then they have him carry a pitcher of ice and he proceeds to lick it , and puts his hand in and plays with the ice and then they go fill it with water and he puts it on customers table!! They then had him deliver guacamole to several tables, very cute , but he decided to put his mouth on some of the guacamole. We watched this happen.! This really shouldn't be allowed.

Michaela was our waitress and she honestly made our experience not the best. She was very disrespectful in the beginning and made us feel like we were a chore for being in the restaurant within the first few seconds of being there. I understand everyone has bad days, but when we can hear her ranting about our table to the kitchen staff it's just very unprofessional. The food and atmosphere was good, so that made dinner better. Also, other servers brought us drinks and more chips and they were very nice and friendly. So I think it's a good establishment, but I'm surprised this issue hasn't ever been addressed.

Super tasty southwest - dine on the patio. Cute location, super menu. Fantastic food and drinks. Don't miss this one. Easy parking across the street. Live music and sometimes farmers market. We made a reservation.

The family and I came to this restaurant due to the reviews on Yelp. The food was Utah's rendition of "Mexican" food. The food wasnt bad.......it just was different. I am from California and my pallet for Mexican food is different. The service was very good and the ambiance was nice. If you arent used to authentic Mexican food and this place is all you know, then you will be fine.

So good! I ordered the fish of the day, which was rainbow trout. It had a tequila glaze and came with charred corn. Absolutely delicious! I also had a sangria which was nice on a hot day. My husband had a margarita and the chipotle chicken pasta, which he enjoyed. They pasta smelled really smoky and heavily chipotle-seasoned. We ate inside because it was over 100 degrees, but they have tacos and music outside so it looked like fun in better weather. It's at stop 6 on the Springdale shuttle.

No reservations, but we were quickly sat outside. Very nice setting. Our waitress was very sweet and offered up a few of her recommendations, which we ended up going with! We started with the seasonal fruit margaritas (which were peach while we were there) and the queso. Both of which were absolutely delicious. My wife and I split the chicken pollo asada and the rosemarina, and we were so pleased with our choices!

Ordered to go the Chile verde pot pie and the Chipotle chicken. First of all, the Chipotle Chicken was great, it was marinated very well and had good taste. The portion was reasonable but not worth twenty-four dollars. Unfortunately, the chile verde pot pie was nothing that they advertised. We expected a pot pie, and they only gave us the pie filling in a small container. For another twenty dollars, we expected much more than a kids meal, Mcdonald's kids' meal probably offers more. Overall, this was a disappointment, and I doubt we will be back to buy food from here.

Who would have thought in this busy touristy area that delicious Tex-Mex would be sitting at the base of these majestic mountainscapes? Bit and Spur was delicious! The cocktails were delicious, the guac was delicious, the food was, can you gutless? Delicious, yep, you are correct. Nice indoor area, but back patio and garden was where we sat and to look at the mountains with a storm rolling in, the warm-cool breezes around us, margarita in hand, it was perfection. The staff was super friendly and whilst they were busy, they were attentive. Would definitely return!

Outstanding restaurant, the food was delicious. We felt we got our money's worth, good tasted fresh and we were pretty full. The ambiance was great, not too loud. Definitely go back when we return to Zion again.

This was a hidden gem in cute little town of Springdale. Great cocktails , tasty food and good portion size. I really enjoyed the decor as well. Server was friendly and suggested options based on our dietary preferences.

Husband and I went here for dinner..I had the Tomato entree with grilled chicken. It was tasty. I loved the blueberry lemonade! My husband had the ribeye. It was huge! He said it was tender and good marbling. He said it was light on seasoning but ok. Our server Mickala was very attentive and nice. Overall was good place to go and relax. Place is clean and calm atmosphere.

Chile verde pot pie was tasty. The yuca fries and kids Mac and cheese are also highly recommended. Overall the food was 3.5 maybe 4. But the ambience of the massive back area where my 10 year old could run around, play with kids, and jump on rocks was easily 5/5. A really cool spot to get a drink and dine.

As we are finishing our five national parks tour in Utah we found the best restaurant in Springdale. We were able to have dinner outside in a great patio area. I had the Carne Asada and I was so impressed with it, I want to come back again. Our server, Daisy, did an incredible job helping with our special dietary needs. If you are in Springdale don't look anywhere else, you will love your choice.

Very delayed review but I came here a couple years ago after visiting Zion and hiking Angels Landing. We were looking for a nice hearty meal in a local spot and came across this in our results. We arrived around prime dinner time but were seated immediately. It's a large space with a lot of colorful artwork/decor, plenty of seating options. Our server was fast and friendly, brought everything out fast and checked in on us. We started off with a couple of tasty margs and ordered the rosemarino pasta and pork al pastor taco. Food was delicious, hefty portions (had plenty of leftovers) and all reasonably priced for value. Would return here if I ever make it back to Zion area again!

Upscale Mexican food was delicious in a beautiful outdoor dining experience. We had sweet potato tamales and pollo asada. Both were delicious.

Oh man. It started out so promising. The hostess was BEYOND nice. Told us there was a 45 minute wait, and that they'd text us when the table was ready. So we had time to go freshen up. Then our server was fine. Like, not bad. Not great. It was insanely busy, so I'll give her a pass. But the food was so unbelievably disappointing, I can't even begin. I got the sweet potato tacos. You'd think with no meat they'd give me enough sweet potatoes, but there was so little that I put all of them into one corn tortilla. My husband got chicken tacos and doused them in hot sauce so they'd taste like something. And my son got shrimp tacos that were "fine". The rice & beans gave rice and beans a bad name. Wish I could say nicer things but I'd be lying.

I loved the vibes here!! Our waitress was AMAZING - she was super welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout our dinner here. We walked in with our stomachs grumbling post-angel's landing hike and were so ready to eat. And I can say that this place did NOT disappoint! I got a jalapeño marg for myself (highly recommend if you like a bit of spice) and chips and salsa to share with my friends. I also tried both the pollo asada and chimichurri chicken entrees, both of which were warm and delicious. I also highly recommend their desserts (lava cake and creme brûlée but with a twist) -- they were both pretty unique and the perfect way to end off our meal! I highly recommend Bit and Spur if you're looking for a place to grab a meal after a long day at Zion!

Best salad I've ever had in my life!!! Everything was so delicious. Love our server Tiffany! So beautiful here - perfect for visiting Zion!

The waitress was very friendly and recommended great dishes. The portion was big and very tasty. I really enjoyed the steak fajitas.

(3.5 stars) A solid post-Zion dinner, the food wasn't the most memorable of the trip but it's still enjoyable. The biggest thing for me was just how sparing the sauces were, the chimichurri chicken was very bland jn some bites because there was too little sauce thing the meat and potatoes/peppers/onions together, though the potatoes were nice and crispy. The carne asada was a bit hard to slice in parts, wish it had a deeper char throughout though. Just with every both had bolder southwestern flavors. Did love the chips and salsa and guac though, would definitely recommend every time.

The only reason they don't get 5 stars is that they are very popular and there is often a long wait. That may be an unfair reason to withhold the last star. Food is very tasty. Not inexpensive but not over priced. Service is excellent. Inside is crowded and loud. Patio is quiet and very pleasant. I will happily eat here again.

Really fun patio and tasty food. I had the carne asada fajitas. My family loved the pasta and chips and queso. Great cocktails and good price.

Food was delicious, I got the Chile Verde pot pie and it was so good! Service was great and food came out very fast!

They open at 5pm sharp for dinner and not a minute earlier. Luckily they left the foyer open for us so we didn't have to stand in the cold. The hostess didn't say a word to us when she unlocked the door, but I guess that meant they were open. We ended up sitting in the bar area and I'm glad we did because we received the best service from the waitress there. I wish I would've caught her name, but she had a bubbly personality and gave us all the best recommendations. You can tell it's a good spot to dine because all the regulars show up and the staff know them by a first name basis. We ordered the chips, salsa and guac. The chips came out warm which is always a good sign. We thoroughly enjoyed the Brie quesadilla, the jalapeño jelly was the best part. I ordered a southwestern salad with pico instead of black bean salsa. The chicken was a little dry, but the cilantro vinaigrette helped it go down. The prickly pear Margarita spicy was amazing. It had all the flavors, sweet, spicy, sour, and bitter. Will definitely return here when in the area.

It was late and we were starving and this seemed like one of the few places open. Yelp showed them as closed but they looked open so we stopped and asked and they were in fact open! It didn't look like a Mexican spot but they had plenty or Mexican offering so we figured why not and we were not disappointed. We all got different items and we were all pleased. I would def recommend

Cute decorations with good vibes and service. Food was pretty good. We had the chimichurri chicken which could've used a tad bit more flavor but the potatoes and veggies it came with were great. The chicken was cooked well and tasted good. The flauta is actually more of an enchilada since it's so big and saucy. It was tasty but the beans it came with were a little mid. The jalapeño margarita was nice and spicy. All in all it's a pretty good restaurant.

Our server was bomb! I don't know how she pulled it off but it was the perfect amount of chill, attentiveness, and caring. The food was delicious! They had a great seasonal prickly pear margarita and some good beers. The pollo and carne asada were yum!! The whole place is eclectic and cool. Hippie vibe. Hip interior that's comfortable and relaxed, perfect after a day of hiking. There's an outdoor patio with a stage that I assume they have live music on at some point. Loved the vibe, food and drink!

This restaurant was recommended by Matt and Karen Smith of the Bob and Sue books. We are glad we tried this, especially after hours of hiking in Zion. The service was great, drink and food came out quickly, and everything tasted delicious.

My favorite meal in Springdale. Loved the Tomate pasta (w/out cheese for me as a vegan) w/ added toasted poblanos. The best meal on our Zion visit. Great art pieces by Harting really create a wonderful atmosphere in this restaurant. Even better than the food was the wonderful server. Bonus - they serve micheladas

Had a reservation for 8pm on a Friday evening. Good thing. Place was packed and a band was thumping out tunes in the outdoor seating area. A bit loud. Quac was A+ as the appetizer. Really good. The taco platter was average. Bland meat. Blah. Pasta and chicken was better. Service was good. Motivated and hustling staff. Overall good feel to the outdoor seating area. Fun vibe. I'd likebto submit a 3.5 star ranking, but went with 4 because of ambiance and service.

We had the Camote and shrimp tacos. They were kind enough to let me sub the rice and beans for Brussels and they did not disappoint. We also added a side of yuca fries which were absolutely delicious, especially the house made ketchup. Service was quick and kind. Great stop after a day of hiking and would absolutely recommend

This was my favorite of the restaurants we ate at during our trip to Zion. The service, ambiance, and food were great. There is a beautiful patio in the back with nice views. I had the sweet potato tamales with beer brewed in Utah, and both were lovely. I will be recommending this restaurant to anybody visiting.

I wandered into this spot when I was looking for a open spot after checking into a hotel near by. The decor was giving old school movie, but the music was giving modern and fun. Everyone I interacted with was sweet and accommodating and answered all my questions. I ended up going with the pot pie which was unlike any pot pie I've had before, all the food had a fun tex mex / sw flair. Delicious, rich, but not too heavy and with a little heat on the back. It was a great spot to try, I wish I would've given that pool table a shot!

I was craving some Mexican food while on our vacation and this place certainly hit the spot. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a seat outside pretty quickly. We weren't on the back side with the best view but it was still a nice setting. Our waitress was super sweet and offered great recommendations! We started with the seasonal fruit margaritas (which were peach while we were there) and the queso. Both of which were absolutely delicious. My husband and I then split the chicken pollo asada and the rosemarina, and we were so pleased with our awesome choices!

Watermelon margs were bomb and the enchilada was very good. Definitely a great place to stop in after a day of hiking

Tacos and margaritas al fresco! I bet you didn't know this place even existed. Tucked behind Bit and Spur Restaurant & Saloon is a little shack called Backyard Taco Shack & Cantina. The Shack has different hours, a completely different experience, and menu. On my last visit to Zion I learned about this place from a front desk agent at the Desert Pearl. So grateful to her! The shack is currently open for a late lunch to dinner from (2pm-9pm daily). All seating is outdoors but does offer plenty of shade. The backyard menu isn't huge but has plenty of delicious options from house made tortilla chips with fresh guacamole or queso to street tacos, burgers, salads, and more. The Al Pastor tacos are outrageously delicious filled with succulent meat, crispy kale slaw, and a very sweet & juicy pineapple relish. Highly recommend them! They also serve beer, cocktails, and strong margaritas. The seasonal fruit margarita had me buzzing before I could finish it. Very laid back atmosphere with gorgeous nature views. There's also a stage where a local blues band plays on Fridays. You definitely want to check this place out next time you visit Zion.

We ate at Bit & Spur both nights on our short Zion getaway. We definitely recommend this restaurant! Ambiance: The first notable thing about Bit & Spur is the ambiance. The outdoor space has a large back patio with colorful/fun string lights and a large fire pit they lit for us while we waited for a seat. The inside was the exact right mix of kitsch/weird/western/spooky. Picture sim saloon lighting, western-industrial style, and paintings/statues that POP. Very fun and well thought out. Food: The food was AMAZING. On the first night my boyfriend got a steak dinner and I got a chile verde pot pie. We were both so happy with our meals. His steak was a good size, well seasoned, and cooked correctly. My pot pie was a really unique dinner! A slightly spicy chile verde stew with a large house-made biscuit on top. The texture of both parts of my meal were divine. I also ordered a mocktail that was only $3 and felt like a steal! It was not too sweet compared to typical mocktails but was a nice touch on dinner. We were so happy that we got the Bundt cake dessert and had no problem substituting the flavor of ice cream. Service: Both of our waitresses were polite and attended to the table with the right amount of frequency. They were helpful in choosing items, and moved quickly. Thank you for the great experience!

I had just gotten to town and it was cold, dark, and pouring rain. And I was STARVING. Luckily my hotel was right across the street and Bit and Spur looked like a great takeout option. Unfortunately they don't take phone or online orders so I walked over in the drizzle and placed my order with the hostess. I had 15 minutes to kill once my order was ready so I browsed at the gift shop across the street for a bit before grabbing my order off the table on the front patio and made my way back to the hotel. Back in my room I ravenously enjoyed my carne asada meal and their brownie pecan creme brulee, my first real meal of the day! The steak was cooked perfectly medium and had just the right amount of seasoning. It came with some beans, roasted veggies, sliced avocado, cheese, and rice. The menu said it would also come with tortillas but I didn't get mine in the order. It was fine though since I hadn't planned to do tacos but if you want to do it taco style make sure you double check for that. The creme brulee was also delicious. Creamy with a good caramelized crunch from the burnt sugar. I was confused about the chocolate pecan portion until I got to the center where there was a big brownie chunk waiting for my enjoyment! FYI It was nice to eat back in the comfort of my hotel but I will say cutting a steak was a little difficult with the plastic to-go cutlery you're given. So if you order that and you're taking it to a hotel or somewhere else on the road I'd recommend planning a little ahead and asking the front desk for some proper cutlery to make your dining experience a little easier.

This has to be one of the best Tex-Mex meals I've ever had. The decor is tasteful and the side patio where we ate was about as perfect a setting as you can get. Our waitress was nice, maybe a bit aloft but I'm not from around here. She was fine. The chips with the salsa and guacamole was delicious. Tasted homemade. We ordered pollo asada and the mixed plate with a taco and two enchiladas. The pollo was chicken thighs slow roasted with excellent seasoning with beans, rice, and tortillas. The taco was shredded beef and the enchiladas were chicken with a mole sauce. The seasoning was just superb. All was so good I could lick the plate. Kudos to the chef. It doesn't get any better.

Who knew we would find such an awesome restaurant in Springdale? This restaurant was right across from our hotel, so our first visit was out of convenience. We quickly found that their cocktails were fantastic and their food even better! There were too many things on the menu that we wanted to try, so we went back for dinner our second night in Springdale -- not to be disappointed! Second night was just as great as the first! Bonus window seat with a beautiful view of the moonrise over the mountains. Can't beat that! Wishing we were back there now... We recommend the Fish of the Day -- perfect meal after hiking Zion all day! Add-on of the Fresh Fruit Margarita of the Day for extra yumminess :-)

I had dinner here with out-of-state guests. We ate outside and enjoyed the cool autumn weather. Alicia was our server and did a good job. We ordered tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole, a Caesar salad with chicken, flautas verde, pasta with mushrooms, lime tart and chocolate lava cake. Everything was good except for the mushrooms--WAY too many and one was as large as my fist. Really. Oh, and too much garlic. I won't make that mistake again.

One of my favorite meals I had on my Zion-Bryce trip. I love eclectic restaurants with cool decor and ambient lightning. One of my favorite dishes was the quesadilla because I never thought apples, gruyere, and jalapeño jam would work so well. They're house hot sauce was on the vinegary side but still packed a kick. Our server was super patient with us( we hiked for 12 miles that day and still were in decisive).

This is what is leftover of my shredded beef burrito and street corn. Coming here from SoCal where Mexican food is a dime a dozen my expectation was low but man was I impressed! The beef was juicy and the flavors were there. The guacamole was also really good. Wish I would have taken a pic of all the food when it first came out. Too good! Service and ambiance are also really great and fun.

The backyard taco shack is great. Beautiful with great service , tacos and atmosphere.

On vacation in the area, this was close to our hotel so we gave it a try. Our choices were very favorable. Our server was very friendly and she gave us enough information to make our dining choices which was hard since so many choices read delicious. Service was prompt and we were looked after nicely. Ambiance was cool. Lots of art work and objects to gaze upon.

What amazing local food - mountain mexican with some twists. Can get pretty busy so reservations and patience definitely recommended but a great choice among the Springdale restaurants, before or after a day of hiking.

Nice back outside seating area and a pleasant atmosphere. Menu has some interesting choices. E.g. I got sweet potato tamales. They are described as roasted sweet potatoes and masa mixture, which turned out to be not that different from a regular tamale corn masa filling. You could get sautéed mushrooms or pork for the protein. I had one of each. The mushrooms tasted like they came from a can. But the pork was pretty good. Mayacoba beans were an interesting change from pinto or black or refried. They had a light flavor to them. The wife ordered tofu tacos, which basically consisted of a long slab of tofu in a taco shell with toppings. Again pretty generic. That order also came with the beans, which were OK, and lime cilantro rice, which basically tasted like the kind you get from a microwave pouch. Not bad, but again not what you get from a better restaurant. I did like the blueberry lemonade pretty well though. It wasn't so sweet as some of the other lemonade types and had a nice light blueberry flavor added to it.

Came here for dinner after a day of hiking and really enjoyed the taco/enchilada combo. The ribeye was great quality but I think it could've used a little more salt. The dessert was delicious and would come back again!
