The Best Restaurant in Moab and Southeastern Utah, Utah

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Including even a few surprising twists, Moab-area restaurants have pretty much anything you might be craving. The other smaller towns in southeastern Utah don’t have quite the culinary kaleidoscope and focus mostly on all-American, meat-centered meals. Though not the best destination for vegetarians or those watching their weight, the comfort food can be quite good and satisfying. One thing is for sure: no matter what restaurant you choose, you won’t have to worry about a dress code. Shorts or jeans and sandals are always acceptable.

Miguel's Baja Grill

$$

Right on the main drag, this friendly spot serves up south-of-the-border fare with the culinary spirit of Baja, California. That means in addition to expected Mexican favorites (burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc.), Miguel's is also known for its excellent fresh seafood dishes (yes, even in the desert). The house-made margaritas are a big hit, too, and you can sip yours either inside or on the pleasant shaded patio. Because of its super-central location, expect a wait during busy times of year.

Both the tomatillo and the red sauce are fairly spicy so taste them first if you aren't fond of hot foods.
