Moab Diner

Absolutely amazing experience! The food and service is great! And all for a good price. We actually came back the next day for lunch because we loved it so much!!! 🩷 I highly recommend this place to everyone!! (WARNING: YOU WILL BE ADDICTED!)

Our favorite restaurant in Moab--we ate there 4 times, for breakfast and lunch, during our 4-night stay. Very large menu, with breakfast and ice cream available anytime. Fast, cheerful service. Remarkably good food--even fried shrimp (definitely not local!) was surprisingly good. Cute atmosphere and very clean. Highly recommended.

We decided to go southwest style at the diner since we’d had burgers for lunch. Really great menu with tons of options from standard diner fare, southwest style, and breakfast all day. Our food was decent and came out quickly after we had the chance to order. It was prior to ordering that was the issue. We sat with no word from a server for 10+ minutes, even with eye contact with two servers. Throughout the meal our server was very abrupt with us and had interest in checking on our food or refilling our drinks. My guess is she was having a bad day due to something else or just overwhelmed by the dinner rush. A couple employees were super friendly though. I’d try someplace different

The food portions are very big and very good. I was not sold on their sweerwater potatoes; they needed salt. Apart from that, the soup, the bread, and the steak were really good. There is no need for appetizers with the amount of food they serve. The service was fast, and they kept coming to check on us. The history of the diner makes it a great place to visit.

Good service and good waiter. Everyone was very nice. I had one the best tasting omelets ever. Then I had a delicious milk shake. The background music fit the atmosphere of a diner. Thank y'all for the good service and food.

I eat here every time I make a trip to Moab. Tasty dinner food with a flair, I love the sweet water potatoes! Staff are friendly and try to be accommodating. Generous portions for breakfast keep me sustained while on my Moab adventures or a filling dinner after a long day’s worth of hiking. Come early as this spot is always packed!

Stopped into Moab Diner after a full day of hiking and exploring at Arches National Park. This place is a culinary haven that serves more than just a plate of food, it is an experience that'll fuel your next adventure. We heard that this place was a local’s favorite for decades, feeding hungry travelers and outdoor enthusiasts alike, so we decided to give it a try and quite happy we did. The cozy atmosphere inside is totally retro-chic decor and immediately transports you back to a bygone era, where burgers were juicy, fries were crispy, and milkshakes were a dime a dozen. The menu reads like a love letter to the classics, with tried-and-true favorites and do not forget to leave room for a classic milk shake or maybe a slice of homemade cherry pie with a scoop of ice cream on the side. A special thank you goes out to Linda, who did all she could to make our dinner so enjoyable. So, we highly recommend Moab Diner to anyone after a day of exploring the rugged beauty of Utah's red rock landscape, because there is no better place to refuel your body, than the Moab Diner.

Good was great! Ate there for dinner, went back the next day for lunch! Really liked the Southwest Stir Fry. Had it with broccoli instead of rice to cut carbs. Was really good! Service was awesome also!

We love the diner! Inexpensive and so good!!!! The menu is amazing and there is something for everyone!!!!! You can NOT go wrong with your stop here! Check it out! You will not be sorry!

I want to franchise Moab Diner and put one in every tourist town in the country Open at 6 Friendly courteous service Great breakfast food with plenty of options Super quick food prep Music soundtrack of oldies that puts a smile on your face Great way to start the day

Enjoyed the environment of a retro diner! We had dinner 3 nights at this location. The first visit we tried their hamburgers. They were charbroiled hamburgers. Meaning they had a smoke flavor. Not a fan of this but if you like such a thing, this is your spot Second time we ordered chicken fajita salad and green chili chicken plate. This by far was our favorite meal at Moab Diner! 3rd time ordered chicken fried steak. While this is a big portion, in our experience with chicken fried steak, there is a batter and then fried. This was more of a fried steak. We should have looked at pictures but this was not what we expected nor did we enjoy it. Service was excellent. (Thank you Robert!)

3.5: A typical diner that opens early, offers reasonable prices and quick service. We came here twice for breakfast in a couple days to fuel up before getting the day going. The eggs and potatoes/meat/toast taste are what you would expect at a diner (e.g., eggs aren't fluffy). The server came over right away and the food came out quickly as well. They have a lot of variations in breakfast items in particular. Coffee was not bad too. Across the street is another breakfast place which looks to be higher quality but a little more expensive.

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..

Big fan. Well prepared diner classics with just enough nostalgia and a nod to regional flavors should you take a hankering. Try the green chili and enjoy the fun music. Efficient and friendly service.

Typical diner in the south west. Fish and chips were courteously swapped with fish and salad. Burger was decent. Too full to the malts, shakes! Decent, Nothing extraordinary!

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.

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 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

Had the chicken fried steak and the Santa Fe platter, all items on those orders were like frozen dinner food quality. Strawberry shake was good, ice cream might be good. Service was good, they were quick and helpful and they kept the place clean.

We had breakfast and then went back to finished the day with ice cream for dessert. Breakfast was great. Biscuits and gravy were huge and the gravy was awesome. Kiddos got the pancakes and loved them. The ice cream was epic and 1 scoop is actually like 3 or 4. Great place for family.

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!

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.

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.

Convenient, open early. Service was good. Coffee cup Kept full. We ordered simple breakfast. They were ok. Price was decent. Average.

The place was great and the staff was friendly. We got the kids Mac n cheese with fries, the French toast and the pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. The food was a delicious cooked to perfection. The apple pie à la mode was soooo tasty would order again. Yum!

The classic diner food at Moab Diner perfectly hits the spot after a long day of hiking in the national parks. It is in the middle of town, where the hotels are, a convenient location. Came here for an early dinner, around 4pm. It wasn't too busy, and we received good service and our food right away. I tried the diner deluxe burger and the french dip sandwich. Both were tasty, with a generous side of fries. The price for the food was mot bad. Would come back!

Good hearty food at very reasonable prices Our family of 4 stopped at Moab Diner for dinner in Aug 2024 after a day long drive from Denver. We were really hungry and chose this restaurant based on good reviews and many recommendations. The place is mostly a Mexican restaurant running in a typical old-style diner setting. The food was good, flavorful, and hearty with exception of taquitos. Portion were generous, service was quick, prices were very moderate. Overall, we had a satisfying meal. We can recommend Moab Diner if you are looking for a good Mexican/American food in simplistic diner setting. Appetizers Taquitos - this was a total miss. Dry, with almost no filling these taquitos didn't impress at all. Entrees Beef Stir Fry - tasty and savory. Beef Taco Salad - delicious. 10oz Ribeye - typical steak you can get in a diner. It was not a steakhouse grade steak of course, but was good enough. Kids chicken Tenders - good. Dessert Banana Split - excellent and rich, like banana split should be.

I had a long day of travel coming from New Mexico through Utah, I found myself a Moab needing food for the night. I ate here prior to continuing on to Green River. I don't know if this was an off night for them however the food was mediocre at best. Lacking flavor and salt. The biscuits seemed as if they weren't made in house. Honestly, I don't know what the appeal is to this restaurant and why it has so many great and wonderful reviews. I hope if I ever find myself here again, I have a better experience next time.

They have fountain drinks on their menu that aren't sold. Party of 7 seated after us had their meal before us. Chicken noodle soup had no chicken in it. Hamburger wasn't hot. The hamburger bun was all dried out. The pancakes and egg weren't hot. Chicken fried stake wasn't hot. The baked potato wasn't warm enough to melt the butter. Fries were cold. Can't figure out why this place is busy. I'd never come back. We had to go up to the register to pay our check because waiter never came back. Sub par food and service at restaurant prices.

Moab Diner was listed on everyone's food recommendation list for Moab, so of course we had to try it! It feels a bit like you're stepping back in time to an old-school diner - we loved it. It was so incredibly busy when we were there, but the staff were so efficient at getting everything done while still staying friendly. Food was pretty good. Their smothered burrito is MASSIVE and COVERED in chili sauce with a good amount of steak... Tasty. And it came with a side of taquitos and rice. Pretty good for $16. Also got the Diner French Dip ... it was also good and came with a surprisingly good side salad. Good dessert options. Their banana split is plenty to share between two or three people and super delicious. If you think of stereotypically good diner food, this is where it's at. Big portions at reasonable prices. Wouldn't drive super far to eat here, but if I was already in Moab, good place for lunch or dinner.

Great vibe, I love diners. Fast, efficient service. I was in Moab for 3 nights, and ate at the diner twice. Good food, average prices.

Service was good, friendly and attentive. Food was greasy, good portions. Skirt steak skillet was very tastey, would not recommend the green chili sauce.

Food was great and tasty and the service was awesome! Nice people work there. We ordered different dishes there and everything was fresh.

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

It's a diner! Food was fast, filling, and good! I had the meatloaf, I mean why not. It was good. My wife had a burger and fries, my daughter chicken tenders. Raul was our server, very friendly. The menu is very simple, and the place has the feeling of the old 50s diners from back in the day. Lots of menu options, and ice cream! Very family friendly and affordable place out in the desert.

The service was good, but the French Dip Sandwich was terrible...too much gristle, Swiss cheese over powered the good parts of the roast beef, & the hoggie roll looked like it wasn't finished baking & who puts butter on the top of a hoggie roll! The Blue Bunny Huckleberry ice cream was good, though so my $20 meal wasn't a complete waste. By the way, I'll never go there again.

This place was right across the street from our hotel, so went to check it out for a later lunch after visiting the parks. Very cute, old fashioned diner vibe! They have all the flavors of blue bunny iced cream right as you walk in. The tables have all the outdoors stuff on them. It fits right into the culture of Moab. Our waiter was awesome, he made great recommendations. I wouldn't have tried the sweetwater potatoes without his recommendation - they were fantastic and a signature dish! He also recommended the taco salad, which I loved. The shell could have been crisper, but loved all the fresh insides! The only downfall was - you have to go outside to go to the bathroom, and it was cold for us Tucson folks - EEK!

Excellent food, quick and attentive service, reasonable prices for what you get, overall a very satisfying experience. The ambience is perfect. Highly recommend this place.

Rolling through Moab on a 12-hour road trip from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City, I made a pit stop at Moab Diner and let's just say, the bacon burger didn't stand a chance. I barely sat down before I was devouring it. It was hot, juicy, and everything a road-weary traveler could hope for. The bacon? Crispy perfection. The bun? Soft and fresh. The burger? Gone in record time. The fries were classic and golden; not seasoned, but still crispy and solid when dipped in ketchup (which I clearly did with zero shame). It was the kind of meal that makes you feel human again after hours of car snacks and gas station regrets. The only downside? The waiter dropped the food off and then went full disappearing act. No check-in, no refills, just poof. A little more attention would've made the experience even better. Still, for a fast, tasty, no-fuss lunch in the middle of a long-haul drive, Moab Diner delivers. 8/10 - Would absolutely swing by again for that burger.

Food was so good I forgot to take a picture! We definitely ate too much! Classic American diner you can't beat it. Service was the best service we have gotten in Moab so far! Ambiance = classic and fairly clean and easy condiment access.

Fast service, great food, fun atmosphere! My son inhaled his burger, my blt had so many pieces of bacon! Yummy!

Great staff and fun vibe. Food was solid diner food. We came twice, once for dinner when we arrived and another day we brought some friends for breakfast. Would have liked to get some ice cream but didn't have any room left after eating. Will go back the next time we are in Moab!

We recently ate here after a full morning of hiking. We were between regular meal times so it wasn't super busy. Service was friendly and quick and the burgers were amazing!

I was visiting Utah and wanted to try out the diner and when we got there around 8 pm it was absolutely packed so we thought "hmm they've gotta have great food then" well we quickly realized that they are best known for their breakfast but we still ordered burgers anyways. The burgers were horrible, this was the worst food i've ever eaten at a restaurant ever. they may have really good breakfast i just unfortunately did not want to try that place again in the morning. Just don't get the burgers, completely unseasoned and no flavor. it's like going to aunt judy's backyard barbecue but much worse.

This is a gem, serving all day breakfast and ice cream. What can go wrong with that? We had the Moab Diner's Sweetwater Skillets, the Ribeye steak and Chicken Fried chicken. All food were great, very flavorful and cooked perfectly. We quickly devoured the food and ordered the banana split for desert. If you are reading this, the banana split is a must try. I can't remember when was the last time I had it but this one tasted awesome, a perfect ending for our dinner.

The Good: :: it's a local business! :: easy to get seated :: very on point with the diner vibes :D :: service was very friendly :: prices were reasonable inline with diner prices :: classic diner fare offered--you won't be disappointed :: very clean The Bad: :: service was a bit slow even though it wasn't that busy--was a while to get someone to refill water, get the check, etc and had to wave arms around like a crazy person to get attention and chase down folks The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? For sure....next time I'm in Moab, I'll be sure to swing by this fine diner and glutton up on all the things! This place is IN.

Food and ambience was so amazing! We loved our dinner and milkshakes all around. Great prices too.

Outstanding! I watched numerous dishes come out of the kitchen and they all looked amazing. I ordered the hamburger steak plate and it was so good! Everything was fast and efficient

Great food. Great service. Quick and exactly what you want in the morning. Prices were reasonable. Was really impressed with the service.

Exceptional customer service! The green chile omelette with bacon is AMAZING!!! Serving portions are large. The minute we walked in the door I was all in. Did not disappoint!!! Fun diner with ample seating. A few outside tables too.

I guess I just chose badly but the chicken I ordered was not good. My husband had a burrito and seemed to like it. We enjoyed ice cream for dessert. Nice staff and clean restaurant.

Food was great! Large portions- we left stuffed! Definitely try the smothered sweet water potatoes w the green chili sauce. They were fantastic! Typical diner feel & food. Space was clean. Our server was nice and helpful with the questions we had. She let me try to chili sauce to make sure it wasn't too spicy for me. :)

A delicious breakfast for dinner was wonderful and the price point excellent for a touristy town had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated, but otherwise everything went smoothly and the service was fast and attentive

We stopped for a fun lunch on our way to Colorado. The diner was super cute and super clean. The service was awesome. Everyone was so nice! The food was mediocre. It satisfied our hunger, but we found the flavors and quality to be extremely basic and generic.

Food was great, Service was great and it just a fun place to eat. Next time I'm in Moab it's a must stop
