The Best Restaurant in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Dining options in the park proper are limited to Bryce Canyon Lodge; the nearby Ruby's Inn complex is your best eating bet before you pay to enter the park. The restaurants in nearby locales tend to be of the meat-and-potatoes variety. Utah's drinking laws can be confusing, so ask your server what is available: beer is more common than wine and spirits.

The Lodge at Bryce Canyon Restaurant

$$ Fodor's Choice

With a high-beam ceiling, tall windows, and a massive stone fireplace, the dining room at this historic lodge set among towering pines abounds with rustic western charm. The kitchen serves three meals a day (reservations aren't accepted, so be prepared for a wait), and the dishes—highlights of which include elk chili, buffalo sirloin steak, pineapple-glazed roasted pork tenderloin, and almond-and-panko-crusted trout—feature organic or sustainable ingredients whenever possible. Several vegetarian options are offered, too.
