Everything was perfect!! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. I think our waitress was Sadie. My steak was cooked to perfection. The dessert was too. Molten chocolate cake with butterscotch, crunchy, candies and Vanilla Ice cream. We come to Kanab once a year and stop here and have never been disappointed. We'll be back again next year.

Ate here with the family while traveling through southern Utah. There was a little bit of a wait even though it was a Wednesday afternoon because a couple big tables were there. Not too bad though. We had the Pub Mac appetizer and it was a hit. I didn't get a picture of that because my son ate most of it before I could. I had the pub burger which was really good. I wasn't sure looking at it that it would be. The bun was huge and made the burger look tiny. The burger was also cooked well-done so I was afraid it would be dry, but it wasn't. It was delicious and filling. My son got the kids corn dog and loved it. He traded me the little bag of Lays potato chips that it came with for my "to-die-for potatoes". Pretty sure I came out on the raw end of that deal, because the potatoes were good. My wife got the Cowboys Chicken. It was delicious. My daughter got a giant slice of lasagna that she loved too. Everything was very good. A little pricey, but excellent.

Cute little restaurant right on the main street of Kanab. We ate outside so didn't get inside photos. We had our dog and everyone was so sweet about making sure he was OK. Even brought him a treat and they had water for him. Food was very good. Dessert was amazing. Waitress kept forgetting our drink, but it was very busy and maybe they were short handed. It was not a big deal. I would check this place out if your in town.

Would highly recommend this restaurant! The staff were very nice and friendly and the food was amazing. We had the burger and the yellow curry and it was honestly one of the best curry’s I have had in a while. The hummus and bread were also really good.

No one here has Coke zero…. the food was pretty good. The place has a cool, artsy vibe that reminded me a lot of downtown Ogden. There’s local artwork on the walls and a casual but creative atmosphere that makes it feel like more than just another small-town restaurant. If it’s busy, you will have to wait. The space isn’t huge, and it’s popular, so expect a little bit of a wait during peak hours. But once we got seated, the service was friendly and attentive. I had the steak and it was well prepared. Cooked just right, tender, and nicely seasoned. The presentation was clean, and the sides complemented it well. Everything on the table looked fresh and carefully made. It’s a good spot to stop if you’re passing through Kanab and want a sit-down meal in a relaxed setting with some personality. I would eat there again and try a few more things off the menu.

We were driving through Kanab and decided to stop here to eat. They had a nice little outdoor patio, and they welcomed our dogs. Even though it was 100°, it was more than tolerable in the shade of the patio. I had the southwest polenta bowl and my husband had the tomatillo lime chicken; we both enjoyed our meals. I'm plant-based and gluten-free, husband is not, so I always appreciate restaurants that can accommodate us both. Service was great. Staff was friendly and food was prepared quickly. I would definitely visit again!

Nestled in the charming town of Kanab, Peekaboo Canyon Wood Fired Kitchen is a must-visit for those seeking delectable vegan and vegetarian dishes, along with a selection of local beers and handcrafted cocktails. Owned by the co-founders of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Francis and Silva Battista, this restaurant embodies principles of kindness, positive influence, leadership, authenticity, and transparency.
We stopped here because my wife is vegan, and the food was absolutely amazing. The kids ordered pizza from the kids’ menu, called The Wrangler, and I was surprised by how big the pie was. My wife ordered the Hot Mess pizza and loved it, while I ordered the Major Powell burger, which was very tasty and juicy. 100% satisfied and highly recommended.

We went to this so-called restaurant for dinner, and from the very start, it was a fiasco. Upon entering, we were told to wait outside — not for five minutes, but fifteen — as if accommodating seated guests was some monumental task. When we politely asked to wait inside, the waitress responded rudely, insisting we remain outside. Hospitality was clearly not part of the establishment’s vocabulary. Once we were finally seated, we were greeted by a filthy table — remnants of someone else’s meal still scattered across it, oily smears untouched, and a pervasive stench of fried grease hanging in the air. The odor was so strong that, upon leaving, our clothes carried it with us like a grim souvenir. To make matters worse, the pizza chef — if one can call him that — was preparing food with a long, unkempt beard and hands visibly stained with what looked like grease or ash. Watching him handle the dough with such disregard for hygiene was stomach-turning. As for the food itself, it was shockingly bad. You’d find better ingredients at the lowest-tier discount store. The dishes were flavorless, carelessly thrown together, and wholly unworthy of the outrageous price we ended up paying. We waited over an hour and a half for this disaster of a meal — in a restaurant that was nearly empty. Abysmal service, rude staff, unacceptable hygiene, and food of the lowest quality. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Avoid this place at all costs — even a fast-food chain would be a superior choice. Calling this a “restaurant” is an insult to the word.

Wow! One of the best places I have eaten in! So good, tastes amazing and the service and atmosphere is just great! We’ve took a pizza (which was very great) and a burger. They have 3 options of burgers, the one we took was meat taste and for me (as a vegetarian) it was a bit harder, but for my partner- he liked it so much! Really recommended!!

We are visiting from outside of Utah after leaving Zion. Service was incredibly slow (it was moderately if that) ordered a few different menu items, chicken Alfredo pizza absolutely disgraceful. Sweet potato fries were ok hard to mess those up. Grilled cheese was good. And took a few burgers ordered “to go” it wasn’t until we got home we saw the disrespect of a burger they serve customers. All 3 burgers came out the same way. Look at photo for reference. Our server was no where to be found the entire time. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was having an off day as we all do. But even the table next to us was complaining how service was slow Never got our silverware or utensils for entire table. The only enjoyable part was the 2 beers that took forever to receive that I guzzled down in hurry so I could pay and get the heck out of there somewhat buzzed! I’m from Texas where kindness is king and food is great! Looking for somewhere to eat in Kanab? Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

If you’re into wood-fired pizza, you can’t pass this place up! My wife love wood-fired pizzas and try them wherever we visit. I was a little hesitant at this place since their menu is all vegan and vegetarian and my preferred diet is anything but vegan or vegetarian. I was blown away at the flavor and quality of pizza they gave us. The portion size was awesome and I didn’t feel like I was getting skimped. The dough and flavor profiles were spot on. We tried the margherita pizza and the Hot Mess. Amazing flavor. If you like spicy food, you should get the hottest version of the Hot Mess. Can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed the fact that there were veg options. Seating was fast but we definitely got lucky because there were plenty of people waiting after us. Pizza crust was delicious but toppings were skimpy and sweet potato fries were overdone and dry. The one seater restroom was small but clean and not handicapped accessible.

Bakery
Breakfast restaurant

Lunch restaurant
Kanab Creek Bakery is a charming European-style cafe and bakery with a lovely patio. Despite being surrounded by natural wonders and visited by countless tourists, Kanab still retains its isolated charm. The bakery is known for its artisan breads, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and espresso. It's a local favorite offering fresh breakfast options like breakfast burritos, shakshuka, quiche, waffles as well as lunch items such as paella and hot sandwiches.
Kanab Creek Bakery was a real gem that we stumbled upon during our road trip to Arizona and Utah. My family and I were on a trip to take in the grand views and hikes that the state had to offer, and we were not disappointed. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and my wife was in awe every second. However, one of the highlights of the trip was the little bakery we found in the middle of nowhere. At first, I didn't expect much from this small establishment, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The vegetarian dishes, omelette, quiche and dessert were all some of the best we had ever had. The drinks were great too, and the service was top-notch. We were able to find seats easily and the other patrons were also friendly. In addition to the great food, the bakery itself was charming and inviting. It had a cozy, rustic feel that added to the overall experience. We were able to relax and enjoy our meals while taking in the beautiful surroundings. Overall, I highly recommend Kanab Creek Bakery to anyone visiting Arizona and Utah. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. It was a great break from the hustle and bustle of our road trip, and it truly made our trip even more special. In terms of the vast beauty of Utah and Arizona, it was truly spectacular. From the red rocks of Sedona to the winding canyons of the Grand Canyon, the state offers an incredible array of natural wonders. Each view was more breathtaking than the last and it was hard not to be in awe of the stunning landscapes. The hikes were also challenging but rewarding with the views from the top. It was a trip of a lifetime and we can't wait to go back and explore more of Arizona's beauty.

There are several places to eat breakfast in this picturesque little town. Check out the alternatives. Atmosphere: If you can snag one of the four stools at the counter in the lobby, it would be the best because it’s nicely decorated and you have the warmth from the wood fire pizza oven you’re lucky otherwise you get shuffle to a dining room next-door. Food: There aren’t many items on the menu and all look good. My wife and I each ordered the quiche Lorraine at $14 US each. Each was delivered to our table in aluminum take away plates with plastic lids. Our plastic cutlery was delivered and sealed bags with a napkin and salt and pepper. Real plates and cutlery would’ve been nice. The quiche was obviously baked at another time, then “reheated” for service. The top layer wasn’t burnt, but it was much too dark. Probably from the reheating. The quiche was barely warm when we started and we we got to the center it was ice cold not appetizing at all. The flavour was just OK. Perhaps the kitchen staff was just having an off day although it wasn’t that busy when we were there at 11 o’clock on a Thursday morning. Service: I the cashier who took the order, and payment was very nice and welcomed us with a big smile and a, “good morning.“ See my photos for a better feel for things.

Great little bakery to stop off at when in Kanab. The ham and cheese croissants were delicious. I also got the regular palmier and it was flaky with the perfect amount of sweetness. The apple turnover was just okay. The customer service was great and the prices were fair. I would definitely come back when visiting Kanab.

A classic style bakery in Kanab, ate here on my last day of visiting the area and wish I had tried it sooner. The baked goods and drinks are delicious but I would say their hot food options are exceptional. I got the croque madame and my friend got the quiche and we inhaled them because they were so good. The quiche especially was so well made we could not stop talking about it. If you ever pass through kanab give them a try.

Authentic Belgian Bakery. Yummy treats and delicious breakfast and lunch options. So many yummy pastries to choose from, you’ll end up buying them all! Great friendly service.

The croissant was pretty good, along with the coffee and chai. Do not get the "eggs" though. I have no clue what these were, but I would never call them eggs. They were awful and they charged $7 for them. Not only did they taste weird, but they looked strange too. EDIT: As a Google Guide, you need to post honest reviews. The reply by the staff, let alone the owner of this place was extremely rude so I am lowering it by 1 star. If you own a business, please act like an adult and take constructive criticism. P. S. Spell check is a fantastic thing.

Great spot with delicious baked goods. Stopped by for the crepes, but they currently don't have them on the menu. They're pretty busy during off-season, understaffed, out of a few menu items and the credit card readers were down, but they're still killing it. Almond croissants were 🔥. Worth the line.

Firstly it's super cute when you walk in. Parking a bit tricky since there's only about 5 parking spaces. They have seats outside and inside you can sit. Please be patient due to it was only 2 of the sweetest people working. Their vanilla iced latte was amazing, got another. Their chai latte wasn't so great wouldn't recommend that. Bread, butter, and jam is a must. Also their croissants were buttery and good! Definitely would come back!

This is the only spot in Kanab for coffee, so it was busy, but I’m so thankful we stopped on our way out of town heading to the parks. The staff was so kind even when there were so many grumpy customers ordering that hadn’t had their caffeine fix yet. I got an iced (2 shots of espresso) latte with regular milk and white mocha flavor. It was delicious!!! They have baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, to go food, and all the caffeine you need before you go to the parks! Worth the wait. Worth the stop.

I really wanted to like this place. It was, for the most part, well reviewed and perfect for what I was looking for. But when we got there, the muffins and scones looked burnt and (at least to me) unappetizing. However we picked up a coffee, mocha, a blueberry muffin and an apple turnover. My mocha and turnover were both good. Nothing spectacular, but good in their own right. But as we were driving away, my daughter started complaining about her blueberry muffin. I have a bad habit of dismissing my 10-year old daughters complaints (I know, I'm working on it), so I kinda blew off her complaints saying 'I told you it looked burnt'. But then she pushed the half eaten muffin into my lap and showed me it was completely undercooked in the center. Ordinarily I would have taken it back to the counter, but we were already headed out of town for a day of activities. Suffice it to say, I was generally unimpressed. It has so much potential, but the quality appears to be so-so. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it's a fluke, but at this point I'll likely never return.

Discovered this little bakery while passing through Kanab on our way home to Vegas. We would recommend getting there early before everything is sold out, since they do not have a large inventory of fresh bake items on hand. There are tables inside and outside the café along with a customer’s only restroom. There is free parking to the rear of the café and along South Main Street. The staff members were very polite, and the café itself was clean. As for the pastries, they were alright but nothing spectacular and the prices were reasonable.

This is the second time we visit to grab breakfast while on a road trip and we were underwhelmed. We ordered breakfast sandwiches on croissants and multigrain bread and breakfast burritos. The burritos were so small and the breads for the sandwiches were so toasted they became hard. We also ordered hazelnut lattes, which were good, but the food left much to be desired.

Daniela S — Google review
The only thing keeping this from being a 1-star review is the service—the staff was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. The food and coffee were downright terrible—completely lacking in flavor and quality. To make matters worse, the cleanliness of the restaurant was shocking. Just looking around made me feel nauseous, which is never something you want to experience in a place that serves food. I really wanted to like this spot, but between the poor food quality and the lack of basic cleanliness, I won’t be coming back. Friendly service can only go so far when everything else falls short.

Houston's Trail's End Restaurant is a long-standing establishment in Kanab, serving up hearty American fare in a charming Western-themed setting. The Houston family has upheld the Old West legacy for over 40 years, offering a diverse menu that includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, burgers, steaks, ribs, chicken and shrimp. Locals and visitors alike appreciate the delicious comfort food made with high-quality locally sourced ingredients.
We were presently surprised by this little place. As we drove by, it appeared not very busy, and we were unsure. We parked in the pack and walked around to the front. We were seated right away, and to our surprise, a lot of both were filled, which you can't see because the booths are high. The food was great and not too much either. It was the perfect amount! We were even able to order dessert to go and ate it late that night. Our server was very attentive!

Houston’s Trail end was about as advertised. They had fair prices and food for what was offered. I got them chicken fried steak which was good but not great, the buns that came with the meal was probably the best thing I had. The Mac n cheese was kind of gooey and lacked flavor but the bbq chicken was very tangy and solid. Service was very nice our waitress was very responsive to our requests.

This was our first time eating at Houstons and we had high expectations based on how the crowds of people were waiting to get a table. One woman even told us the wait was worth every second and that she would "wait all day for this place." The old west theme was festive and the staff was nice, but the food was not amazing. On the breakfast menu, just about everything has tons of cream gravy and is all just average diner food. They would not make adjustments/substitutions to the ingredients even for an allergy because everything was apparently pre-portioned, which was really limiting to what could be ordered.

Another restaurant we picked on travels out west that didn't disappoint. Service was great. Food was top notch. I had their "famous" country fried steak and it did not disappoint. Mash potatoes with their homemade gravy and the homemade mac & cheese made it a 5 star meal. My wife had the ribeye, and it was great.

I stopped in one day for the first time and enjoyed their double cheeseburger with house fries. Today I stopped in because I didn’t have room for pie last time. I love a good coconut cream, and this one did not disappoint. This in-house-made pie is custardy with lots of whipped cream and made with actual shredded coconut throughout. The crust was so flaky. I took this one to go up 89 near Hog Canyon to enjoy. So my last chance to try the chocolate cream pie before they close for the 2023 season. It too is made in house as well. So good 🫶🏼. For a visit both short and sweet, thank you for the good food and pie. August 8th 2025 So I’m back after nearly 2 years. I was really hoping the pies would be just as good as they were the previous times. They are the same. The coconut cream is my favorite, and if you order any of the cream pies, you better be into whipped cream 😳🤣.. literally💙. Staff is still just as friendly. Their food is amazing as well. I use this place for my decadent craving sweet tooth. I’m Yet to find any pie that comes close to theirs. I’ve been to Oregon and back. In the end, I have found the best place to enjoy this decadent coconut cream pie is out amongst the red rock of this beautiful desert location. Gotta love, Kanab.🫶🏼

Iron Horse Restaurant is a casual and cozy spot with a unique cowboy theme, offering a smaller but perfectly executed menu of steaks, burgers, ribs, and hearty sides.

This place was so much fun, and their food was fantastic! Plus much less expensive than I assumed. I had the salmon meal, and it was delicious! The salmon came out perfectly cooked, with the right amount of seasoning, on the side of green beans or cooked and then start on the grill. They were good The atmosphere is great, very old western days! The outdoors is set up to look like an actual old western town. If I ever find myself down in Kanab again, I will definitely be eating at this place and shopping in there gift shops.

Gave this place a try for dinner. The staff were very friendly and fun. I arrived before dinner time and there was no wait to sit. They have a draft root beer that was incredible to me. I had a half rack of ribs with mac and cheese and fries. The ribs were good, very tender, fall off the bone. The mac and cheese was ok, a little bland but nothing a little salt and pepper couldn’t fix. The fries were really good, crispy and just the right amount of seasoning. It’s a neat restaurant and I look forward to returning as they have a lot of items on the menu that interest me.

This is our second stop in Kanab. You can't find a more western themed BBQ joint like this in the 300 miles radius. Yes it is tourist trap with great neighborhood type of service. You can tell by the clientele, about 90% tourists and 10% locals in this 5500 polloulation town. The Wings are good, large and crispy. Good buffalo sauce. The salad has seen better days, the Parmesan cheese on the salad was so dry I basically just picked them out along some of the old lettuce. The burger was juicy and thick, with over fried / hard onion rings on top. The Ribs had a good rub, but they must have been sitting around for a while and lost most of the juiciness. The meat still falls off the bone but in flakes. I ate about 50% of it. Glad that I didn't order the full rack. Now the sides, very good beans, soft and tasty, the slaw was pretty mild, not much taste to it just like the mac and cheese. Overall, I think the food could be better during high season when there are more tourists filling the place up. The food preparations are good, just not very fresh.

We were greeted by the friendly host Derek who seated us right away - he was very accommodating with our seating request as well. Duane took care of us the rest of the night - he was fabulous, so friendly, and I really appreciated his suggestions when I asked him about the menu - the flatiron steak was perfect for me and so tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My friend also loved his brisket and sides, all wonderful. Duane really went the extra mile; he was so quick to get our drinks and so friendly. With great food and service like this, we'll absolutely be back when we're in the area. Thanks for a great evening, it made our day perfect.

Awesome bbq! Nice decor.. they are short handed and gave a disclaimer on the wait time for seating and food. But we could feel the staff were trying their best, it didn’t take that long anyway because kids were kept entertained at the playground and the outdoor area is lovely. My only wish is for the food portion to be more generous.

The Ironhorse was a recommendation from our hotel staff and it didn’t disappoint. The staff was amazing, Nancy and Anna went above and beyond. We had great appetizers and drinks. Our meals were delicious. The best part of the evening was the staff, they gave us great insight about the area and were not opposed to a little banter. Thanks for a great evening!.

Despite being slightly disorganized, it provides reliable products and good prices typical of the Kroger chain. Visitors praise its friendly staff, clean facilities, and reasonable prices compared to other stores in the area.
Nice medium sized market with a good selection of products including fresh vegetables and fruits as well as prepared foods. Prices are good as well. Funny jokes along the hallway to the restrooms which were clean as well Staff very helpful and friendly.

Do you guys have wine? "Mam, this is Utah. You need to go back across the border into AZ to get wine and lottery tickets." That store just over the border does have wine, but the selection is meh. They do have beer though. The other store doesn't have beer. This one also has a nice little deli with cold cuts, which the other one doesnget that and lotterystores in town this is the better option.

I stopped by happenstance before heading into Zion for a drink and deli sandwich. Very surprised by a super tasting sandwich. I recommend the Turkey Cranberry Swiss w/ sweet heat preserves. It was moist, sweet and had a perfect tang from the cranberries. Usually I'd have to add mayonase and deli mustard to make these types of sandwiches taste ok.

Food was subpar. I ordered a tender meal and it came without fries or biscuit (was also cold) for almost $10. Customer service was even worse. People behind the hot bar were pretty rude considering I was a paying customer and was just trying to pick up some quick bites, but they had an angry demeanor while they were respectful to others. It’s 2025, maybe be a little less blatant about your personal values and treat everyone with the same respect.

I live in town and make an effort to support local businesses, but I will not be shopping here again. After finishing at self-checkout, I went to place my basket in the designated spot. A worker suddenly yanked it out of my hand without saying a single word. It was incredibly rude. If she had simply said, “I can take that,” it wouldn’t have been a problem. Instead, the way she handled it made me feel disrespected and treated as if I were less than human.

Nice customer service, love the fact that you can buy single radishes, celery, carrots etc. especially when you’re just one person hiking for a couple of days and you fancy some veggies. And of course they have sandwiches, salads, and every day groceries.

The menu also features flavorful sides like Dutch oven potatoes and mac n cheese. Whether you're dining in or opting for catering services, Giff's promises an authentic and hearty experience in the picturesque setting of Kanab.
Easy to miss, impossible to forget! Hands down the best BBQ I've had in Utah. No more dry, tough meat. Everything was tender, juicy, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions were generous too! My wife and I shared the cowboy combo and it was perfect for the two of us, especially for the price. We absolutely will be coming back for more!!

The best peach cobbler I've ever had in my life! The ribs are the kind where the meat falls off the bone 😋. Laid back atmosphere and great gals behind the counter. Military appreciative with a discount is a nice bonus 👌. We were just passing through town and had not planned to come here but glad we did. We ordered the cowboy combo and split it between the two of us and still had leftovers.

Cute BBQ place hidden behind a gift shop. We came in the morning for the Hollywood museum, but could already smell some divine meats. Came back in the evening to give them a shot. Real nice people, and the brisket, peppered ribs and pulled pork was top-shelf! The ribs were so good that we, against budgetary and dietary better judgment, got another pepper rib plate. Strong recommend. The two folks running the enterprise (I guess Giff himself) were really nice too.
Hannes K — Google review
We were told this was the best brisket ever! We'll we found the meats to be very dry and not very edible we without BBQ sauce. The ribs were cold as well. The flavor or the brisket & pulled pork were good they just seemed like they were kept in a warmer and dried out which is why they weren't great. They have great portions and the price is great as well. The place it self needs some livelihood some upbeat feel good music to enjoy while you enjoy your meal. They have TV so you can watch sports as well. The sides were good and we definitely enjoyed them. So thanks for great service just wish the meats were juicy. Probably best when meats are freshly made.

Parry Lodge, a classic 1931 hotel in Kanab listed in the National Register of Historic Places, has hosted numerous Hollywood legends like John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Frank Sinatra. The lodge offers spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds and helpful staff. Guests can enjoy the casual restaurant and pool on-site. It's conveniently located in the town center with easy access to restaurants.
The staff was amazing and very welcoming. We had a large group with trucks and ATV trailers and they accommodated us without and hesitation or problem getting us parking. Pool was great and the loved the fire pits and outdoor areas. Last but not least the breakfast buffet was great and worth every penny we spent. We would absolutely stay here again.

Denni was fantastic. She went the extra mile to be accommodating. I arrived without a reservation and later in the evening. She had housekeeping prepare a room, gave me excellent recommendations for dinner, proudly explained the history of Lodge and reached out to me when the room was ready. She went above and beyond to take care of me and feel very welcomed. I will recommend the Parry Lodge and I will stay with you again! All because Denni set the tone for my experience!

This was the coolest place and more people need to know about the history and how it has been preserved . I loved staying there. I think maybe some updates to the rooms would be nice without sacrificing the nostalgia. The bed was really comfy and the air worked good. The breakfast was a bit disappointing and maybe offer fewer items with better quality . This did not change my mind and I am glad I stayed and learned so much about Kanab and Parry Lodge

Parry Lodge met all of our expectations and then went above and beyond! Tyler met us and offered a room on the second floor, but our knees and hips were aching from all day in Zion Park. He moved us to a first floor room without a problem. We were very grateful to avoid the extra climbing. We loved the huge, generous, and delicious breakfast bar! Everything was neat and well presented and available hot and fresh! Biscuits and sausage gravy plus perfectly crisp bacon - wow! The French toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage patties were ideal! We loved having fresh baked cookies to take along on the trails! We loved seeing the Hollywood stars and learning their stories. We watched the documentary on filmmaking in Kanab, and saw those familiar landscapes in the western movie, called “The Pony Express”. We were picked up at the Parry Lodge by Coral Cliffs and had a private tour of the Peekaboo Slot Cavern for only $300 for 4 of us! We dined at the Rocking V Cafe on Main Street, and the Grand Staircase special was extremely good! We hope everyone who sees this review stays at Parry Lodge and loves it as much as we did!

Nice motel room. Very old feel, low toilets, if you're old this might be a bit of a challenge for you. The beds are very noisy, squeeking as you roll over during the night. When we arrived, there wasn't a whole roll of toilet paper on the roll, and its 1 ply! We stayed 5 nights. We asked a few times for a roll of tp but we never got one. We had to use kleenex. Limited supply of coffee for the room, they said their order hadn't arrived. There's plenty of room in the parking lot especially if you have an atv. The buffet breakfast was the best part of our stay. $12.00/person. Johnny, worked very hard keeping the tables clean and the food replenished. He is excellent!!! We'd go back just to talk with this fellow. The front check in...was so - so. Not very friendly or personable. We'd stay again, but we'd bring our own coffee and toilet paper.

Front desk lady was not friendly….at all. We had to pay for breakfast and I didn’t mind that. However, bacon was mostly raw and had to wait for eggs, and french toast. Not a large variety of food. Disappointed in our stay. I won’t stay again.

Despite being in a small town, it surprises visitors with its international flair. The restaurant opens from Tuesday to Saturday, serving delicious meals from breakfast to dinner. Visitors praise the authentic flavors reminiscent of Cuban home cooking and find the prices affordable.
Havana Cabana is a small, family-owned restaurant on the main road in Kanab. I highly recommend stopping by at least once. I had the Cuban Steak Plate and Cuban Coffee while my wife had Chicken Quesadillas and a Fish Taco. All food was prepped to perfection. The flavors were amazing and the serving sized were healthy. The staff was very friendly and happy to serve. I highly recommend Havana Cabana on your trip to Kanab, UT.

I can understand some people are still suffering from taste lost after COVID, but unless you are used to eating cardboard, I do not recommend you ordering the Cuban plates. I was hoping to be surprised finding a Cuban joints in this little old Hollywood wild wild west town but it was the wrong surprise unfortunately. Whomever gave the Cuban food here 5 stars needs to go to Miami and try the real thing. I had the Cuban steak plate, it was no steak, it was just small pieces of tough beef, the only thing legit was the flavor, sour orange and you can taste that in the pull pork too. The pull pork plate on the other hand was ok, dry. The Cuban sandwich was OK, but it was with the same dry pull pork. The bread was a little old, tough and chewy. I think they make better burgers and fries here.

Excellent visit here! The lady working the front cash taking orders was amazing. She was very friendly and helpful, and was incredibly polite. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked! The only negative thing to mention is that there was a younger guy working who seemed to keep looking at us a bit weirdly, so that was a weird vibe, but maybe he was just friendly. Wasn't much of a friendly look though.

Ate dinner here just as folks were setting up hot air balloons for the “Balloons and Tunes” candlelighting event, and it was awesome! The “Lisa Pizza” was delicious, as was the soup and panini.

A typical Mexican restaurant that provides the basics but lacks an alcohol selection. Unfortunately, we were all hungry and in the mood for mixed drinks, but it seems Kanab is primarily a dry town. Despite this, we decided to give it a shot, hoping for some fantastic Mexican food. The food was good but not great, again, nothing exemplary. One standout was a lively employee with a captivating, almost ethereal voice who sang while working in the kitchen. When she took a break, we overheard her discussing a new job opportunity that included air conditioning and elevators. I truly hope she’s thriving, as she added a special touch to our experience at Escobar’s.

Admittingly busy for Cinco de Mayo. But overall the food was just ok, wish more meat choices. And biggest issue was we both felt quite sick afterwards. Chips and salsa - Thin bland chips, standard salsa. Tacos - just normal hard shell. Taco Salad - Cute for sure! But with all cold toppings on top, entire bottom of meat and beans was cold and made the shell soggy. Enchiladas - Decent but tasted mostly of cheese, wish way more sauce. Meats - Tried all 3 and ultimately none were special.

Hamburger restaurant
Big Al's Burgers at The Junction in Kanab, UT is a classic burger joint that offers a variety of burgers, fries, and milkshakes. In addition to the classic options, they also have veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches, and grilled cheese for those looking for something different. The drive-thru spot provides simple and delicious food at fast food prices but with much better quality.
Big Al’s Burger is the kind of old-school, no-fuss burger joint that hits the spot when you’re craving something delicious and satisfying. You pull up, park, and grab a seat at one of the outdoor benches under a covered roof—simple, laid-back, and just what you need for a solid burger experience. We tried: 🍔 Big Red & the Cheeseburger – Both were juicy, perfectly sauced, and packed with flavour. No unnecessary frills, just great homestyle burgers done right. 🥔 Large Tater Tots – Basically adorable mini hash browns—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Could easily snack on these all day. 🥤 Cookie Dough Milkshake – Thick, creamy, and almost like a Blizzard. The chocolate chips were a bit hard at first, but once it melted a little, it was just right—not overly sweet, just smooth and satisfying. If you’re looking for classic, well-made burgers and comfort food in a chill setting, Big Al’s is a must-try!
Krishna S — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A local tour guide recommended Big Al’s, and I’m so glad they did! We ordered 3 meals, each with fries and milkshakes, plus 6 containers of their delicious Big Al’s sauce (2 per meal). The total came to around $48, which felt like a great value—especially considering how tasty everything was! The food hit the spot, the shakes were a treat, and the service was genuinely friendly. I had looked at another nearby restaurant with prices ranging from $20–30 per plate, so we were especially happy to enjoy a satisfying lunch without breaking the bank. Definitely recommend if you’re in Kanab and craving a classic burger-and-fries meal with local charm.

It’s a must stop if you want something good and cheap. We stumped upon this place and I’m glad that we gave it a try. The food was good especially my chicken salad. It’s fresh and you could tell that they didn’t prepare it in advance. They truly live up to “ we don’t make it until you order it”. The cashier was patient answering our questions.

Stopped by Big Al’s Burgers as the first food stop on my trip, and it definitely set the tone with a great meal. 🍔 Food: I ordered a Big Red burger with just ketchup, fries, and a vanilla shake — everything hit the spot perfectly. The burger was juicy, the fries were crisp, and the shake was creamy and classic. My wife got the Hustler burger and really enjoyed it, saying it had great flavor and balance. 👥 Service: Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, though one or two helpers came off a bit off-putting. Overall, service was quick and the food came out fresh, which made for a solid experience. 🎨 Aesthetic: Big Al’s has that classic burger joint vibe with older signage and a nostalgic feel. It’s simple but charming, the kind of place that feels like it’s been serving up good food for generations.

We tried the cheeseburger, bison burger, and waffle fries, and everything was amazing. The bison burger stood out big time: if you’ve never had bison before, this is the place to try it. It’s rich, juicy, and in my opinion, even more flavorful than beef. The waffle fries were crispy and golden, and their homemade fry sauce is a total must-have.. creamy, tangy, and addictive. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving a great burger experience.

We stopped here while on a road trip as an impulse decision. Their bison burger was absolutely amazing. We also tried their home made fry sauce and it was delicious. I regret not getting a shake. For how busy they were at the time we went they made sure the floors were clean and everything was stocked .I wish we lived close to them because my husband is constantly craving them now.

Pizza restaurant
Italian restaurant
Lotsa Motsa Pizza is a family-owned eatery offering a variety of fresh pizzas, calzones, and salads. Their weekday lunch buffet is a steal at $5.95, featuring unlimited pizza and salad bar options. The restaurant has a cozy, small-town vibe with accommodating staff who are happy to customize orders for sharing. The thick-crust pizzas are generously topped, and the spicy wings add an extra kick to the meal.
As soon as we walked in we were nicely greeted and attended by Remmy ( Rai ) She is a very warm, sweet, kind and hard working employee. We ordered Veggie Pizza and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of chewiness. The sauce had a great balance of tangy and savory, while the cheese was melt-in-your-mouth perfection loaded with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the toppings were evenly distributed, so every slice had the perfect ratio of cheese to toppings. What really stood out, though, was the freshness – you can tell the ingredients are top-notch. The pizza was piping hot when it arrived, and it held up well, even after cooling down a bit it tasted perfect. Definitely a pizza worth going for in Kanab – highly recommend it to anyone looking for some vegetarian food around Kanab.

Pizza was nothing amazing but good for the price. Think it was 7 bucks for the buffet. Fresh salad and they even had piping hot tomato soup. Great deal if you are looking to save money. Buffet is 11am-2pm. Not much interaction with the staff as it is self serve. The seating is sit where you want, bench style with a couple of booth seats. I would come here again.

When you walk in for an extremely cheap $6.99 buffet (about $9 with drinks) - let's be real, your bar is LOW. We got in towards the last 40 minutes so my photo makes the pizza section look sad. But - They kept it coming to the end, always 4 to 6 pizzas to pull from and fresh. A nice crispy chewy dough. Nice salad bar. Simple but satisfying!

My family and friends tried the pizza here while visiting Kanab. This place is amazing, I guess it’s a family owned place. They are very kind and helpful. Everything made from scratch and fresh. They have salads and pizza, my friends and family tried veggie and cheese pizza and salad. They said it’s just great. Also. They have daily special for all you can eat at $6.99 which was a great price. They do have lot of parking spots, but since they are very good parking gets busy, but we can park on the road. They also have restroom. Overall great service and experience.

3.5 stars. The crust was slightly on the thicker side but good flavor nonetheless. They are generous with their toppings. We got a no cheese pizza due to a lactose intolerant member in our party. It was actually good and I'm glad they were able to accommodate this request. The chicken wings were good. Beware, when they say spicy in Utah they really do mean spicy! Overall it was good and I would eat here again and recommend this to anyone in the area.

The caprese bruschetta was a great starter. The steak was cooked perfectly and the risotto was delicious. The desserts all looked great but we were too full to try them. I would highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Female server was gruff but got the job done (authentic french experience now that i think about it). Chocolate mousse was good 5/5. French Onion Soup 4/5, Salmon Ratatouille 4/5. We enjoyed the seats next to the windows so we could see outside. Noise level was fine. both times we’ve eaten here It’s because they were one of the only places open and it was fine. Food is really rich of course (it’s french), so don’t plan any rigorous activities afterwards.

Had dinner here recently and was VERY pleased with the food. I had the pork chop on mashed potatoes with pan gravy. Absolutely wonderful. The service however was seriously underwhelming. I have never felt less welcome in any restaurant any where. My waitress made me we feel like I was a serious annoyance. I thought it was just me but everyone got the same treatment. I'll go back next time im in town and hope the staff has found some new blood. What a shame.

Solid Spot with Great Dishes and Spacious Vibe Vibe: The interior is really nice and spacious, making it a comfortable place to dine. I liked the overall atmosphere. Service: Service was smooth and attentive—no issues at all. Wait Time: Visited on a Sunday and was seated right away, which was great. Food Quality: We tried the Pistachio Chicken and Idaho Trout—both were excellent, with distinct and unique flavor profiles. The Yellow Curry and Bean Paste were less enjoyable as the curry flavor was a bit overpowering. Portion sizes were generous. Bang for Buck: A little on the pricier side, but the quality of food makes it worthwhile. Location: Easy to find and convenient to get to.

One night stop in Kanab, UT and needed a place for dinner - so happy we found this gem! We were greeted and seated promptly. The server was friendly and everything came out quickly. The drink and food selection was nice and exactly what we were looking for after a hard day hiking. The drinks (an old fashioned and a sage honey bulliet rye) were great! The food, even better! Ribeye was cooked perfectly topped with bacon blue cheese butter and served with smashed red potatoes and asparagus. Superb! The Jamaican Jerk pork bowl had great flavor. The carrot cake with ice cream was huge and delicious! Everything was 10/10! So glad we stopped in. Thank you!

We had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection and exceeded expectations. The existence of such a high-quality restaurant within a small hotel was astonishing, and the experience was truly amazing. We ordered the ribeye, followed by the hatched chili pasta. Notably, we dined at the sister restaurant today, and it failed to compare to the exceptional experience we had yesterday at the Knoap location.

Stopped by Wild Thyme Café for a quick lunch after kayaking the Colorado River, and it ended up being one of the best meals of the trip. 🧆 Food: I ordered the elk burger with smoked Gouda, house burger sauce, and sage butter smashed potatoes — and it absolutely blew my mind how good everything was. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and the potatoes were some of the best I’ve ever had. It was the kind of meal that completely hits the spot after a long morning outdoors. 👥 Service: Our waitress, Marsha, was absolutely outstanding. She was warm, attentive, and made us feel instantly welcome, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. 🎨 Aesthetic: The café has a cozy little dining area with a comfortable, relaxed vibe. I didn’t get to see much of the rest of the place, but it felt inviting and genuine. It’s a perfect small-town gem.

Oct-23rd, I had dinner at the bar, took them a while to serve me. Ordered The Bison medallions, I asked for medium no bloody please. I had to send it back, totally under done, was rare & bloody when you cut into it. That’s fine for those that enjoy rare. It did not look like medallions either to me, seasoning bland, asparagus overcooked but the mashed potatoes were seasoned great & were delicious. So not worth $55. They didn’t even make the cocktail right forgot to put the rim on. And then one of the other waiters decided to read the menu to see if I was incorrect. Really he was not even serving me. I just was so hungry & tired after hiking all day I should’ve sent it all back and went elsewhere. Apparently the chicken is really good. Not worth $77

Interesting nostalgia for all you old western fans, and the lady who runs the place is sweet and inviting. This place was probably pretty special a few years back, but you can tell its aging.

I'm glad this place is free. It has become really run down. We did give a suggested donation per adult but I really don't think it was worth it. It's sad to see such history not being taken care of. They were doing changing of light bulbs and whatnot and stuff was just out in buckets wherever. Kids didn't mind but the older adults had a hard time getting past all the clutter around. Wish we would have skipped this and done a tour of the animal sanctuary instead.

It's an interesting spot with a connection to old western movies and shows of the 60s & 70s. The buildings are interesting to see and it's a quick walk around, but most are in disrepair. Despite that, it's worth a tour of the sets for film afficionadoes.

The sanctuary houses a variety of animals including horses, pigs, dogs, cats, and birds. Visitors can enjoy facility tours and films showcasing the incredible work being done at the center. It's a must-visit destination for animal lovers offering volunteer opportunities and adoptions.
One of the most inspiring places we’ve ever visited. We booked the 1.5-hour guided tour and had an amazing experience. The tour took us through this vast, beautifully maintained sanctuary, including stops at the pig area and the cat house. We even got to pet some of the animals, which was a real highlight. I’ve never seen a more impressive or well-organized animal welfare organization—the space is huge, and it’s clear the animals are incredibly well cared for. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making the tour both educational and heartwarming. Whether you love animals or just want to support a truly meaningful cause, this place is a must-visit.

So, probably a good idea to plan your stop in advance. We didn't. They have plenty of tours, but it looks like most are in the morning. Enough about our mistake. The self-guided tour is pretty epic anyway. You do get to go into one of the many cat houses and interact with the kitties. And you can see just a few of their hundreds of dogs at the adoption center. This place is doing great work.

This place was so much fun. The lunch was amazing. Especially for $5. And the view from the patio was so pretty. Everyone was so welcoming. The tours were super cool and the animals are so well behaved. The cats were great with children which was a relief with my 3 year old wanting to pet them.

I am a monthly donor so I wanted to see how my donations were being used. I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful town called Kanab. It's breaktaking views will make you appreciate the work of God. I enjoyed all 3 tours that I went on ( the grand sanctuary tour, goat walking and pig tour, and bunny tour). I learned something about goats on the tour. You're not supposed to feed male goats a lot of fruit because it can cause lead to crystallization within their urethra. I fed some goats grapes and leaves at the vineyard because they acted hingry. But i will not do that again. I recommend that you spend two days so you can take all of the tours. The cafe provides a delicious $5 vegan lunch with a million dollar view. I love how the pigs have air conditioning on their houses to keep them cool. This sanctuary has a building to care for cats with Feline Leukemia Virus. They are no kill so any animal that ends up here has a home for life. And last but not least, this sanctuary is completely ran off volunteers and donations. So please donate so we can save them all.

My 4th visit to Best Friends but this time arranged a highly successful group volunteer visit for Sisters on the Fly with the BFAS Group Experience Team.

McDonald's is a well-known fast-food chain famous for its burgers and fries. The restaurant offers quick service, although some locations may have limited staff and require customers to order at kiosks. Despite this, the customer service can be exceptional, with friendly greetings and helpful staff. The food quality is typical of McDonald's, providing consistent value and taste. Some locations also offer outdoor dining options for pleasant weather.
I placed my order using my mobile phone and picked it up at the drive-through. The staff taking the order had a pleasant and welcoming tone, and the team at the drive-through window greeted us with smiles. They kindly directed us to a waiting spot since we had ordered a few customized items. When we received our food, the fries were fresh and hot, which made the experience even better! But i didn’t get my sauces for chicken nuggets. Others were just good.

The place was filthy! The women's restroom was dirty with stuff caked on thr floors and no toilet paper in either stall. I had to let them know and they didn't apologize for any inconvenience. The tables were all dirty, the floors had fries and trash on them. Ordered a meal and the only thing decent was the burger. For the wait the nuggets and fries were cold and dried up tough. They weren't busy either. Very disgusted!

We were really disappointed with the customer service during our visit, particularly from an employee named Pablo. When he brought our food, there was no greeting or friendliness at all. Instead, he looked at us and said, “The fries are hot, if you burn yourself it’s not my problem.” This was shocking and felt unnecessarily rude. What made it worse was overhearing him speak to other customers in a completely different tone, saying “Be careful” instead. The contrast made us feel singled out and unwelcome. The food itself was fine, but the service completely overshadowed the experience.

Felt welcomed as fast as entered, was taken care of so well (solo traveler). The food was delicious, I took the cheese burger which was amazing if you add some sauce to it. Ask for there one fries sauce to your fries, it was amazing according to me. Wish a had the time to try other things at the menu. You should really try it out!

We discovered a fantastic breakfast place while leaving town on our way back to Vegas. The restaurant had a somewhat sparse atmosphere, despite a good number of diners inside. It was unclear if they were experiencing staffing issues that day, as it seemed there was just one employee: a woman who greeted us, took our orders, and appeared to be preparing the meals herself. With so many customers to attend to, she did her best, but the service was quite slow. However, the wait was definitely justified because our breakfast was outstanding! My biscuits and gravy were exactly what I needed, with the gravy perfectly seasoned and the biscuits achieving the ideal balance of crispy and flaky.

Really nice country-style spot with a great Western vibe. The servers were super friendly and carried themselves with a lot of grace. The ribeye steak was fantastic — great quality and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were way too salty though, and the soup they recommended was tasty but also way too salty, so that part could use some work. The Caesar salad was fresh and really good. Loved the atmosphere with the bar and all the TVs showing sports — made it a fun place to hang out.

I unexpectedly found this place while on a bike trip across the states. I have to say I was really surprised at how friendly and welcoming the owner and employees were. I was out looking for a place to watch some football on a Saturday and was surprised to see that Adrias had plenty of TV’s for sports and a really cool bar atmosphere. Adrias has a separate dining room with a bar towards the back of the property. The bar also serves up some great food. While I was there I had some great wings and a really good cheeseburger. The night before I came in and had a Ribeye steak sandwich that was extremely good. Fries were great also. I spent quite a few hours here on Saturday and got to know the owner Adria a little bit. She was a independent spirit but she made me feel like I was part of the family. She actually sat down and spent some time talking with me and made me feel welcome to the area. We talked about Kanab, and her previous experiences in the bar and restaurant industry. This is a hard working woman who really wants her business to succeed. I would recommend Adria’s to anyone who is in the Kanab area for some great food and some great times! She also handles large parties too! While I was here she had an event for a group from France with about 40-50 people and she handled it with ease. Dinner and entertainment was had by all. She even showed this group from France what country line dancing was. It was a hit. I cannot recommend this place enough as I will make it a point to come back whenever I get close. Thank you Adria for everything. I will always remember my time at your wonderful place.

We visited this place 2 nights in a row to watch sports and have some beer. Night 1 we had a Buffalo Chicken & Wedge Salad. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was good no complaints. The wedge was good had some of the lettuce not been old/browning. Had to leave about 1/4 on the plate because of this. Night 2 we only ordered fries but when they came out they were cold as if they had just been sitting in the kitchen for 15min. (We were the only guest in there) The service is ehhh the bar tender just disappeared at times and it would be delays in service. There is also another gentleman that walks around checking on you & others but its very weird because its unsure if he is in training, came from the restaurant part or what his actual roll is. So you hesitate to ask for refills or additional drinks. The music could be a little louder and lively upbeat to make me want to be there and not drag my energy down. The place has a lot of potential if they had good music, actually got people to engage with their outside game area(definitely missing music for that) host game nights or something.

It was just a quick stop for supper before hitting our hotel but we were very pleased with this Wendy's location! Friendly young man took our order. (We refuse to use the kiosk). He was very pleasant and friendly. Later, came by and picked up our tray. Our nuggets and fries were piping hot and the strawberry swirl frosty was the perfect finish. ❤️💯

Food was fine, exactly what you would expect at any other Wendy's. However the food took an oddly long time. Waited awhile after adding a frosty. many of the workers had long uncontained hair left down and one of them in their face. didn't feel sanitary.

I went through the drive-through late at night and was helped by Carlos, and he absolutely went above and beyond. He was kind, professional, and made sure my order was perfect, even at such a late hour. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving great service. Carlos turned a quick stop into a really positive experience — y’all are lucky to have him!

One of the most dirty Wendy’s we have ever seen. They didn’t clean the tables or floor + the guy handling the register/food had dirty hands. The fries were cold but the burger was good.

Average Wendy's. Stopped for a quick breakfast on my way out of town the English muffin was hard so I tossed it in the trash and left. I do not recommend for breakfast. Hamburgers are still great though.

The fries at this place are excellent — definitely not inferior to McDonald’s

Sandwich shop
Subway is a popular counter-serve chain known for its customizable sandwiches and salads, offering healthy options. It's a go-to spot for quick, affordable bites during road trips. Customers have praised the friendly and efficient service at various locations, with staff members like Bobbi standing out for their attentiveness and patience. The restaurant also accommodates large orders, making it suitable for catering events.
Ordered online, went to pick up and added/changed things because of a picky child. Cory was wonderful with how annoying our order became. She had all the patience in the world for us, and expressed a desire to make sure everything was perfect! Our sandwiches were delicious, the staff were lovely, and the place was very clean. I really appreciate how she went over and above to make our experience everything we needed.

This is for the manager that made the special order for me Monday night. Everything went as planned with it. Perfect. Thank you. My husband came back in Tuesday night to order again the same way and the girl at the counter would not work with him at all and refused to believe he was telling the truth. “Because that is not the way we do things”. So unfortunately you will lose our business for the next 3 days.

I had a very bad experience at this Subway location. I ordered a sandwich with Italian Herbs & Cheese bread, but they gave me flatbread instead. When I noticed the mistake, I politely informed the staff and asked for a solution. Unfortunately, the manager was extremely rude and dismissive. Instead of acknowledging the issue or offering to fix it, she gave me attitude and made me feel like it was my fault for speaking up. There was no apology, no replacement, and no customer service at all. I understand that mistakes can happen, but the way the manager behaved was completely unprofessional. When customers are treated this way, it makes you not want to come back. Subway is supposed to be about fast service and quality, but this visit was the opposite. I’m very disappointed and hope the store management seriously improves their staff behavior and customer service standards.

Came in at 12:30 June 28 and I asked for the vegetables on the side because we were going to take our sandwiches to the park. And the short white young man disrespectfully said no and was super rude and short and proceeded to ask how many vegetables did we need. I didn’t appreciate how disrespectful he was and the young lady working the counter also said no. I mentioned that this is the first and only subway that they’ve mentioned no on taking your vegetables on the side and I have been to this place before. Never going here again. The cold cut footlong was $11 and the steak and cheese was $12.

Cory is the manager that these reviewers complain about. She is rude, dismissive of my questions, and told me that she manages two stores so she knows what she is doing. I simply asked her about switching a foot long into a salad, as advertised. Cory did not have a bad day as she was quite rude to us and the people in front of us but nice to some locals after us. The young girl at the counter was kind, professional, and reconciliate. Next time I want a salad I will go anywhere else. Cory may be the manager but she does not have manager skills.

This place is a joke. I have actually been here a few times and it just gets worse. The first time we stopped in to see when they opened the next day because we wanted to take sandwiches on a hike. They told us "we open at 8 but we aren't usually here until 8:15." Huh? We came at 8:30 and no one was there. Had to go somewhere else. The last time we came the staff was rude. The bathroom doors were locked. We kept asking and they said someone must be in there. We finally went to knock and they finally unlocked the doors. What? The bathrooms were filthy. Then when we ordered they had the worst attitudes. It's not pleasant getting food from people that are probably going to put something in it. None of the people working there should be interacting with people. Will not be stopping again. Hopefully they all loose their jobs.

Best experience I've had at a Subway. Meet the manager Cory and half the staff. I'm picky about my subs, and they made sure I got my order the way I wanted it! That means a lot to me because I have kids that are picky eaters. The bathrooms were clean which also means a lot considering it's a tourist area. Definitely will return.
