Milt's Stop & Eat

Well worth stopping and eating like the name suggests. Had a cheeseburger, and a Yak burger. Fries, and tater tots, and a cookies and cream shake. The shakes were served promptly and delicious. They didn’t wait to serve them with the food, which was great. Everything was made to order, hot and fresh. I would return.

We came here because of all the good reviews and food photos and it did not disappoint! Burgers, onion rings and fries all delicious and large portions. We also got churros and ice cream for dessert! Very reasonable price - would definitely recommend! :)

This is a MUST stop spot for dining when you’re in Moab. It will be busy, and so you will have to wait in order to experience this Moab staple. However, the food and prices are more than worth it. Nearly everything on the menu is under $10 and is equally tasty and delicious. The peach milkshake is TO DIE for, especially after a hot day of exploring the surrounding area. Burgers, Frito Pies, Breakfast Burritos, you simply cannot go wrong with a stop in to Milt’s. Both you and your pocketbook will be happy that you did!

Awesome place to eat some delicious food. The Albuquerque Chicken BLT sandwich is excellent with the roasted green chili and chipotle sauce, and their unique cut, real potato fries go great with it. The vegetarian burger is so well done and we loved the pesto cheese fries too. They have a nice outdoor eating area that's in the shade. Definitely a must when you are in Moab!!

This little retro shop is a hidden gem in Moab! The burgers were awesome. The fries and tater tots were aplenty and the ice cream cones were served upside down in a bowl with a spoon on a waffle cone! We ate at a picnic table outside in the shade. Our experience was very pleasant!

No one was there when we arrived. We were able to order right away (we looked prior to going, so we knew what we wanted) and enjoyed everything we ate. There were many combinations of flavors and mix-ins for their shakes, and we wished we lived closer to try all of them. The fries, though, stole the show! We haven't had fries like that before, and they were unique and delicious. I would love to know what they were called. They were a cross between a french fry and a potato skin--so good. A group of about 50 people showed up to order shakes right as we got our food, so we were really glad we got there when we did! This is a popular place and for good reason. We are so happy we found it, and we'd be regulars if we lived in Moab.

Oreo milkshake tasted AMAZING. You could actually taste the Oreo inside of it and there was plenty of it. The wait took a long long time and we waited for like 20 minutes, which took it down a sigma level. 🗿 The burger had a little bit too much mustard, but the bacon was crispy on my bacon cheeseburger. The fries however tasted exactly like lays potato chips and weren't too bad.👌 The shake was definitely the best part of it all and was creamy and delicious. 😋

10/10 would recommend. That's all. Food is so good, stopped here various times on work trips. Closed for the slow season (winter, I think). Otherwise this place is always cranking out food. Service from all staff is excellent. Go check them out!!

Moab burger joint staple. Definitely not a health food joint but their burgers and fries are tasty. They don't have dietary restrictions options so not for everyone. Service is very quick if you are in a hurry Great outdoor area but no inside seating so definitely weather permitting.

I was solo traveling through Moab this summer, and this was by far my favorite diner and food experience in Moab. I couldn't tell if the gentleman I talked to was the manager or owner, but he was incredibly friendly! We sat and chatted the whole time I was eating and he gave me the scoop on the best of Moab and where to hangout and see while I was in town. It was one of those core memories you make while traveling. I came in for a veggie burger but after chatting I had a veggie patty melt per this nice gentleman's recommendation. It was delicious! I also really loved the fries - I have never had them where they were curled and crispy before. It was a really great place to stop and eat! I would highly recommend!

The strawberry milkshake is phenomenal!! It is worth the visit alone, although the burgers are delicious as well.

The food was alright, definitely overhyped. The biggest issue was the person making my milkshake wasn't wearing gloves, they quite literally crushed Oreos with their barehands and put it into my shake, which is disgusting. Was honestly shocked that the health department gave them an A...

We stopped by after a day of hiking in Arches NP and this hit the spot. You order at the window and everything was ready in 5 minutes. There is seating right outside the restaurant. The elk cheeseburger and fried bacon and egg cheeseburger were both fantastic. The fries were a little bland and the onion rings were crispy but you didn't get a lot. Go for the burgers and milkshakes!

Best burger in Moab... Hands down. I've been coming to Moab for 3 years and just found this spot!! Burgers are amazing...

What happened? This place is no longer bueno. Frozen patties, weird ear shaped fries with no seasoning and soggy. I had the Cowboy Burger. It was "meh". The jalapeños were flavor less and they put on only one tiny weenie onion ring. Cheap ketchup packs, no fry sauce. Service was quick and efficient. Fun outdoor seating.

The burger was decent, but nothing to get excited about. I got the cheese fries, and they were just a greasy mess. I barely touched them. The prices were a little high too. I like the vibe and atmosphere of the place, but it was pretty underwhelming. Three stars feels a little generous, but I'll lean toward the positive.

My husband, a friend, and I stopped by here with our dog after a busy day of hiking to Corona Arch, fishing along the Colorado River, and exploring Arches NP and Milt's completely hit the spot! I got a grilled chicken sandwich and it had so much flavor with a fresh bun! My mouth was watering while eating it and I can't wait to come back the next time we come down to visit Moab. It was a busy afternoon but the staff was friendly, the food was affordable, and we only had to wait 10-15 minutes for our food with a large party ahead of us. As another plus, it's also got a big lawn with picnic tables that is dog friendly. Do yourself a favor and stop here-you'll be glad that you did!

This place can get extremely busy but for good reason. I had a Santa Fe burger but switched chipotle mayo to mayo because I don't like conflicting chile flavors. Chipotle always comes second to real green chile. I added tots and a coke float for the full calorie bomb effect. Tasty AF. The people watching is fabulous because all walks of Moab tourist and local life come here. Side-by-side folks, jeep enthusiasts, bike packers and older couples out for a nice evening were all there and sitting outside under the tree the day we visited. Don't be surprised if you start thinking about their milkshakes while on your next long hot hike in the Moab area.

Creating milkshakes with a variety of flavors is such a blast! After a hike, I treated myself to an Oreo, coffee, and brownie milkshake - it was absolutely delightful!

Your standard roadside burger joint. Food made fresh and to order with various options. Would recommend the burger with brisket. French fries were more like home made potato chips but decent.

It's been a long time since I had a cheeseburger this good! Line forms outside this 10 stool restaurant for a reason. There's also outside bench seating for those that are brave enough to be outside in 50 degree weather. Service was quick and efficient. Loved the tater tots. The coffee milkshake was decadent. Open since 1954 for good reason.

It's burgers made the old-fashioned way with amazing side and shakes. And, it's the right kinda comfort food when you come off the trails in Moab and you just want something delicious and filling for not a lot of money. We had been told that we should check out Milt's when we first arrived in Moab. It took us a few days, but we finally made it... and, it was packed! There were so many burger choices with exotic names like the Blue Moon Cheeseburger, the Gringo Cheeseburger, or the Rodeo Burger along with Elk burgers..! We kept it simple and got cheeseburgers... with bacon. You top it as you like it. And, it was all good. We opted for onion rings and tator tots, fresh, crispy, yum... FYI, they're made to share, there were so many. We weren't a fan of the fry sauce, but not so much that I'd take a star off just for that... The shakes: thick and rich and so cold and good. I didn't realize until later that you can combine up to three different flavors, so I went for a simple root beer shake. Hubby got his typical plain vanilla and loved it. Service was friendly and quick. Understand they get your shakes out before your meal so we were a little confused when we they called our number and we were just handed our shakes, but then we were told our meals were coming. There are a couple of stools inside the small diner area, but most people sit outside on the many picnic benches around the restaurant. Definitely a place to come to over and over again when you're in Moab... we'll be back... there's too many menu items I wanted to try.

Burgers were ok but not great. The fries were very thin and over cooked. Shaped almost like chips. The shakes were fantastic. Service was very fast even while it was busy. Dining area would have been fine if it was not night and cold. They only have a very few seats inside. Great place for afternoon but not on a cold night

After a full day Arches hike we needed to refill our stomachs. The burgers were super tasty and the tator tots were enough to share among 4of us. The fries were totally under cooked and were just greasy and flimsy potato slices. Add in root beer floats and we were satisfied after eating outside on this sunny day.

Service was outstanding, guy opened door for us when it was too cold to eat outside! pumpkin pie was almost ?chai spiced, really nice burgers, proper home cooked patties & toppings. Not in the main thoroughfare but just around the corner

Old-fashioned walk up corner burger joint with a big menu including veggie burgers. The food is fresh and the service is quick and friendly. Try a float if you are in the mood or a milkshake. A huge tree and a shade cover with 8 to 10 tables to dine in if you fancy.

It makes me SO happy to find a little dive burger joint that actually serves delicious tasting burgers!! I came with a party of 5 and we all loved our burgers, the fries, and tater tots. Shakes are amazing too! I got a double elk burger with blue cheese, it was so freaking good! If you like the taste of elk you'll love it. My husband got a double bacon cheeseburger with regular meat, and I had a bite, and it was so good, meat is so juicy and flavorful.

The burgers the shakes are oh my!! The service is friendly and fast. Did I mention the food is fresh!! And you can watch them make your burgers

The pretty good: The burger meat was tasty and good price. Unfortunately, the patty was not so big and the bread dwarfed it. Removing half the bun helped a lot. It was also pretty good that it was ready pretty fast. The mint chocolate cookie milkshake was VERY good. It was thick and had lots of mint and chocolate bits. The French fries were perhaps the best I've ever had!!! I can't explain it but there were large potato slices that kind of curled and the edges were crispy and the potato itself was very great tasting with perfect texture!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY loved the French fries.

Quick pit stop here after running Hells Revenge. Burger was a burger. Good not great. Shake was tasty. Plenty of outdoor seating and a good sized parking lot.

Milt's is one of those local places where you want to visit multiple times because the food is that good. The burgers are fresh and always hit the spot after a day in the National Parks. You'll rub elbows with locals and folks from out of town. The shakes are really good to. The staff are friendly and service is quick. You can see them make your food through the big windows. Yes, the burgers are their signature meal, but I just discovered their brisket fries which is really good, better than their burgers. The meat is well smoked and flavorful. Too bad they don't have a brisket burger because it will beat the other burgers hands down.

During an afternoon hike nearby, my buddy and I chatted with a friendly hiker who raved about an old-school burger joint in town she had just tried. It was called Milton's....or Mike's...or something. My friend and I had no idea where this was, so we looked it up after our return to town. It turned out that Milt's was the oldest restaurant in town, having been open since 1954. It's not part of chain either; it's the only one. Being reasonably close to our hotel, we hoofed it over here after a shower and a change of clothes. (Also it turns out that after spending $$ out-the-nose for several days, we were ready for some fast, cheap eats). I absolutely loved the place, for multiple reasons: 1) It was a bit like walking into an old snapshot; 2) They offered decent food at great prices; 3) There was a large variety of folks here for some quality people-watching, such as: tourists (like us); local regulars (who seemed to know the staff by name); truckers passing through town; a small group of youth baseball players after a game; and even folks who seemed to be coming from formal events; 4) Customers ate at various picnic tables setup outside under an enormous sycamore tree. Plus it didn't hurt that it was a beautiful, cooling evening. Milt's itself was shaped like a box, with staff inside and patrons outside. No drive through here; Ordering was via a walk-up front window. The line moved pretty fast, since the menu was straightforward, and a lot of people knew what they wanted. I opted for a fish sandwich, a side of onion rings, and a vanilla shake. $15 before tax. My food was just what I wanted. It was of surprisingly good quality and filling; and it tasted like a gourmet meal after our hike. Sadly, with only one more full day here, we didn't get a chance to return to Milt's, but it is definitely bookmarked for a future trip to Moab.

My wife and I thought the burger and fries here we're better than In n Out. They've been in business since 1953, and it's in the older part of MOAB in a residential section. I have outdoor seating under a big shade trees, which are very comfortable. Burgers were excellent and my wife said the onion rings were great too.

Very confused about the hype. I got a cheeseburger ($5.25), without the ketchup and mustard. It was very average. My husband got the cheeseburger with the ketchup and mustard and the taste was overtaken by the condiments. Some of the fries ($2.75) were good and crunchy, others soggy. The Oreo milkshake ($5) was the best part. I wouldn't recommend, except for maybe a milkshake. Small parking lot. Order at the counter and they call your number. Picnic benches outside. No inside seating.

Absolutely a great find and a dinner well worth checking out. Great ambiance and even better food! I'm a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate my order and that of my meat eating husband. We will be back!

Family was in town for a softball tournament. Stop by the best hamburger and fries we've ever had anywhere.

Turns out that Moab has a few good food spots, but my favorite of our Arches/Canyonlands trip? Milt's. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it runs like a well-oiled machine and the food really hits the spot after some outdoor activities. It's a standard burger and fries joint, but the prices are actually pretty cheap for the quality of food. I love the fact that you can see through the window to watch your order being made, but be warned, your mouth will water throughout the entire process. We ended up getting a couple of burgers and split a side of tater-tots (they were out of fries) and a cookie and cream shake. We heard our number called in a reasonable amount of time and stuffed our faces at a table underneath the tree. It was perfect, really. If we had the time, we definitely would have come back. Stop by after a hike. You won't be disappointed.

Shake and fries were good. Chicken sandwich really dry, stringy piece of fried chicken. Burgers weren't cooked to order. Precooked and sitting in those red and white fry baskets then warmed on the griddle resulting in dense and chewy burger. It's a big griddle so plenty of space to cook to order. Not sure why you'd do it this way.

For over a decade, we've made it a point to visit Milts in Moab every time we're in town. However, during our last visit in September, something felt amiss. The food didn't live up to our usual expectations - it lacked the well-seasoned flavors and the satisfaction we'd grown accustomed to. It left me wondering if it's time to explore other dining options the next time we're in Moab.

The service was awesome the guy taking our order was really nice and gave me an idea. But the burger I got was meh. Also the fries and the peanut butter banana shake were AMAZING

Went on a busy Sunday for lunch. We expected it to be slow, which it was. What we didn't expect was overcooked everything. The onion rings had that really crunchy breading that tears up the roof of your mouth, give them extra time in the fryer and they are inedible. We sent them back and the people were so rude about it and tried to ignore our request. My husband told them he wasn't leaving until he got something else. Tried to order fries instead but they just gave us the next onion rings that were available. They were not burned so we just ate them. Our friends chichen nuggets were way overcooked too. The tots were cooked well but tasted like old grease. The burger was fine but the blue cheese that was supposed to be on it was only on half of it. The root bear float was the best thing we got. The fries were also thick cut and tasty. Fry sauce was free. We probably won't be back.

The milkshakes were the bomb! The pulled pork, brisket and burgers were delicious . We ate there twice during our stay in Moab.

Stopped by Milt's for dinner -- really enjoyed it. Had a mushroom Swiss burger with bacon and a fried egg, and a peanut butter/marshmallow mix milkshake. Service was pretty fast, and food was great. Would definitely eat here again, when in the mood for burger and shake!

On a recent trip to Moab, a local recommended Milt's. We enjoyed it so much, we went back the next day too. Burgers were delicious! We loved the unique fries with the fry sauce! Onion rings and shakes were also delicious!

The best milkshakes for a great price! Quick and friendly service! We will be returning tomorrow before we leave town!

This is what a burger joint should be like! Food was fantastic. My cheeseburger was so tasty. The meat was juicy, the fixings were great and the bun tasted very fresh. Fries were great and were washed down with an iced cold soda. My chocolate milkshake... BAM! Soooo good! The service was great and employees were all helpful and friendly. The ambiance is very chill with some outside seating choices. This is a definite stop after doing the trails at Moab or after packing up camp. I will always stop by this place whenever back in Moab! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Fast food out door walk up place cranks out top notch burgers and grill food. Clean and tasty

Excellent blue cheese, bacon burger. Really fresh fries - which were a cross between an english chip and a potato wedge. Try the peanut butter milk shake - it was excellent. Really friendly service. It was busy but we managed to get indoor seating on stools and watched the team working on the grill plate. Relaxed music in the background and temperature was good, even with 100+ outside.

Probably the best burger place in Moab. You order at the window and they bring out your food. The service is okay but the atmosphere is awesome. The Sun really makes this place feel like you're eating in the park.

I visited when it was not busy as I did not want to wait in line. Service was fast, friendly and they got my order right. Hamburger was tasty.

A MUST IN MOAB, UTAH! So good WE WENT BACK MULTIPLE TIMES. did not want to end the day anywhere else. 5 stars because it's cheap and DELICIOUS diner/grill food in a shack that's been around for ages. Such good value for your money and really so scrumptious. The burgers: I had the Santa Fe, Fried Egg and Bacon, Mushroom Swiss and onion, double cheeseburger (bonus: patty melt) The buns are so soft and pillowy, the perfect sandwich to the juicy patty and simple yet harmonious toppings. My favorite by far was the Santa Fe burger (the topping of green chillies was perfect) and the double cheeseburger (just so classic). Sides: onion rings, fries, green chillies fries, bbq pulled pork fries Onion rings such a strong highlight, you must get them as a side. Fries also great! I would skip the bbq pulled pork fries, it wasn't bad but didn't really work as well as I expected. Milkshakes: cinanmon The cinanmon milkshake was creamy and thick, tasted like a horchata milkshake, it reminds me of getting cinanmon ice cream in my college dining hall.

William was the best guy ever, great to talk with and even better burgers! Used fresh strawberries for the milkshake. Very personable and knowledgeable about town history. Who knew they used to have peach orchards in Moab?

The best bacon blue burger I've had in my life. The fries are perfect. Shake was amazing. Service was quick. Outdoor seating.

Very good burgers and super fast service. The seating area is outdoors under a beautiful tree. Lots of cyclists and locals eating at this place. That's how you know it will be good. We had the cheeseburger and elk burger. Both were excellent! Their "fries" are more like skinny wedges but very crispy. I would definitely recommend this place.

Delish!! Walk up burger joint with outdoor seating. We did take-away - two burgers and fries. They are big burgers - very good, nice and juicy, super messy!! If you're looking for a quick satisfying lunch this is the place. Service is quick and the prices are reasonable.

The food was amazing! Had the Cowboy burger. Super good. Tater Tots were totally on point. Also had a chocolate shake. Highly recommend. I will be back
