There is no restaurant, just a small store selling baked items and ice cream inside Capitol Reef. But dining options exist close by in Torrey, where you can find everything from one of Utah's best restaurants serving high-end Southwestern cuisine to basic hamburger joints offering up consistently good food.
This is the traditional pit stop between Lake Powell or Moab and Capitol Reef, featuring great burgers, fries, and the best homemade onion rings around. Shakes, available in such unusual flavors as peach cobbler and root beer freeze, are a specialty.
