Rim Rock Patio

$$
In addition to serving hearty and delicious pizzas, barbecue, pastas, and salads, this casual eatery with a huge, partially covered outdoor deck and patio offers some of the best views toward Capitol Reef, as it's located less than a mile from the park's western entrance. Enjoy a microbrew with your pie and listen to live music most weekends, and if you're in the mood for more substantial fare, check out the neighboring sister establishment, the Rim Rock Restaurant, which specializes in steaks and more upscale American fare.
