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 Stone Hearth Grille

$$$ Fodor's Choice

With sweeping panoramas toward Bryce Canyon from the back deck, an art-filled dining room with a stone fireplace, and some of the most accomplished modern American fare within an hour's drive of the park, this refined yet unpretentious restaurant on the outskirts of tiny Tropic is well worth a splurge. Favorites here include the salad of citrus-roasted carrots with avocado and coconut cream, the bone-in grilled pork chops with cheddar-potato fondue, and several preparations of local grass-fed steaks.
