We had a great meal tonight! The food was delicious! Our server, Shay, was just the best! She came over quickly, took our drink order and was back with that so quickly! Shay was efficient, quick to check in during the meal and so friendly! Shay certainly made our experience at the Broken Oar one to remember! read more

Great food and wonderful service from Marie. The ribs where very good and the cobb was wonderful. The smoked turkey on the cobb was amazing. read more

Quick immediate seating for my party of 7. Wide expansive menu. All the food options were well received and everyone enjoyed their ordered entree. The sweet potato fries are truly crazy. You should absolutely order some. The burger was good and filling. Their strawberry lemonade looked delicious in a massive stein. read more

This place is fun. Its always busy and noisy which adds to the fun environment, but expect a wait on weekends and weeks with events in town. The brisket sandwich had great flavor but the brisket was a little tough. My wifes steak was way undercooked but still delicious with the BBQ butter. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Prices are normal for a resort town. The local made desserts were great. Rich and flavorful. I feel like maybe the food prep would have been better on a less busy night. We'll be back again for sure. read more

I ordered the Miner Burger with sweet potato fries. Excellent! That sweet potato fries I love the onion ring that was on my burger. Service was excellent.. the person who took my order was very nice. And the person who met me at checkout was very nice as well. I highly recommend this place. I noticed when I walked up it had tables outside on the porch. Great ambience. read more

Broken Oar Restaurant - Juicy ipa squatters - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

We needed somewhere to grab dinner on our way to Canyonlands to spend some quality time catching the views and walking some trails. Food was very good; salmon dish was tasty (not the biggest portion but no complaints). Waitress was a doll and told you exactly what to order if you were waffling between two items. They got us in and out of there, which worked great for our schedule! Nice place and clearly a town favorite; there were people waiting outside before it opened at 4:30pm! read more

Disappointed the sirloin was inedible. Extremely tough -long wait not worth it. The chix salad was huge but tasteless read more

Broken Oar Restaurant - Upstairs. No AC - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

For Moab tourists, the cavernous log cabin feel of this restaurant makes for a great setting to take in a family meal - with a large fireplace, local photos and (of course) ubiquitous broken raft oars. The servers are authentic, know the menu well and ensure you feel like a valued guest!! As for food, one theme stood out: Bacon and Range. Our family steered toward the wonderful chicken sandwich (gluten free bread was solid) and the Cobb Salad. The sweep potato fried are topped with a homemade sugary syrup (a bit sweet for my palate). While the food is not Five Star, it surely made for a solid meal in Moab. read more

Ordered the special steak Alfredo. I'm not an Alfredo fan and thankfully it tasted more like a stroganoff. It was delicious. Tender beef and pasta cooked well. Wife had the smoked turkey pesto and sweet potato fries. She was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the fries. Overall meal and drinks were delicious and service was excellent. Got in quick around 6 with a packed house. Will be back. read more

Good was excellent. Service outstanding. Atmosphere was fun and staff worked very hard! Would go there again !

We stopped here for dinner. They are dog friendly and have a great patio with heaters to sit outside. Our golden retriever loved it and they brought her out a fresh bowl of water along with our waters. We had the pleasure of being served by Melena. She was fantastic and super helpful! She made great recommendations for beer and food. I had the salmon that came with veges and mashed potatoes. The sauce was sweet and spicy. Cooked well. My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. He gave it a 4/5. Sweet potato fries had a syrup drizzle that he said was too sweet and not needed. Hot sauce was great but the bun was a little thick. Overall good food, great service, and clean restaurants. read more

Food, delicious. Exactly as expected. Easy to order. Ambiance was fun and service was quick, despite being busy. My mom, husband, and I had a long drive to Moab and we were BLESSED to have Shay as our server. We were on a cross country trip and she was by far the hilite of our dining experiences across the west! If she worked anywhere in Taos (my hometown) I would be her regular. Thanks Shay!!! read more

Very nice restaurant. Food was great! Our server Vinny was wonderful. One of the best meals on our trip!

A busy Memorial weekend Friday night, but waitperson, Vinnie, did us just great! Attentive and prompt, but definitely working hard inside & out. My wife loved her green chile lime chicken, and my burger was juicy and just right. The sweet potato fries were signature' for sure, sort of a cinnamon-spiced and cut thin..try them. Yelp didn't let us down as a top 3 area establishment! read more

Everything was spot on from ease of making a reservation to the fantastic service. Melena knows her stuff; she answered questions ranging from beer selections to tree nut allergies. And she was fun! All 9 in our party (including 4 kids) ate well and were very happy with the evening. read more

Yelp did it again! Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! Loved this restaurant and will return when we are again in the area!

This restaurant was recommended by Martin from LaQuinta Hotel. He also gave us a 10% off coupon, dinners only. We had dinner here Tuesday 8/19/25. Big rustic restaurant on two levels. White water rafting is their theme. No bar area, but they do serve all legal beverages. Our waitperson, Melissa S promptly brought us menus & drinks, free refills iced tea ($6) & wine ($8). Against the norms of eating beef in Utah, we had fish for our dinners. Trout w/ potatoes & asparagus ($35) and barramundi w/ potatoes & asparagus ($31) -both very good. This was our first time here. It was very busy, a bit loud due to the log construction & high ceiling. Felt a bit rushed, but not a deal breaker. Open M-Sat 4:30-9pm. Plenty of parking in their lot. Thank you to the staff.

Melena was an awesome server and the food was great! I highly recommend Broken Oar to folks staying around Arches National Park. We had their sirloin steak special and it was great! We got dessert to go, but it looks great! And got a nice Penfolds Shiraz-cab blend which went great with the steak and was reasonable priced! read more

This is supposed to be one of the nicer restaurants "for Moab". There was a good crowd on a Wednesday so we had to wait a bit. The food is good, nothing special. I had the BBQ pork and it was tender and had good flavor. The other entrees were unremarkable. The sweet potato fries were terrible...all that stuff they told us we'd love on top was like eating an overly sweet waffle. It's no way a 4.6 star...unless everything else in town is terrible. I would call it a 3.8 at best. read more

The service the food and the atmosphere were great. Outdoor games on the grass for the kids to play. We ate here 2 different dinners and had the same great experience. From the hosts to the servers we were treated great, Vinny was our server both nights and was awesome.Burgers, pasta and the sweet potatoes fries were a hit for our family. read more

Food and service were excellent!! Environment was cool! Mostly, I was super impressed when the staff went above and beyond for us! My son accidentally left his dental retainers and they got bussed off the table. We noticed about 30 minutes after leaving and when we went back and asked about them the manager put on some gloves and started searching through bussing bins to find them. We were so incredibly grateful that they were so helpful!!! We can't return, we live near Chicago, but I would highly recommend this location for its good food and even better service and staff!! read more

The Broken Oar has a cozy, woodsy cabin vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. It was a bit warm inside in the summer, but it cooled off as the evening went on. I had the pork chop with mashed potatoes and asparagus; delicious, though the potatoes came out a little cool. My husband enjoyed the burger's char, though the fries were just okay. Our waitress, Melena, was excellent....friendly, attentive, and quick. Overall, good food and great service, and I'd likely return. read more

The service was fine. The food just edible but barely and the worst $90 meal ever had for 2 people. The brisket was tough and so fatty could barely eat it. The trout was a drowned in oil/butter slab of fish that did not resemble trout. The vegetables overcooked for hours and sitting in a mess of pepper and oil. The wedge salad was ok but lettuce seemed old. I am sorry we came here after seeing good reviews. Only had 2 entrees and a small salad for $90 before tip. read more

We had a wonderful experience here. We timed it good for a Tuesday night. We got there around 5:45 and they were able to seat our party of 6 outside right away. I was worried about the outside seating, but they have very large umbrellas and port a cools and it was very pleasant. The wings appetizer was great. The service was great. The food portions were large. The sweet potato fries were excellent. We would definitely eat here again. read more

Our table enjoyed burgers, pork chop and chicken fingers. Served with fries, onion rings and a side salad. The ice tea or lemonade comes with real fruit slush and was great. Our server Melena was attentive and always made sure we had all we needed. The restaurant was a bit noisy and not air conditioned so if summer, be prepared. They did have outdoor seating, but summer heat? We enjoyed our meal read more

The service here was the best we had in Moab. The food I can recommend is the French dip sandwich with the regular fries. They also have some very good local beer. read more

Had 2 burgers, the "westwater" and "miners cabin" plus like 3 beers. Total came out to near $70, which is a little pricy. But the burgers were cooked to near perfection, not too overdone and not too pink. You get tons of toppings for them as well. Mushrooms on my burger didn't have much to them, no seasonings and maybe even no butter. So burger kinda came off as "dry", as a whole. Sides were good too. Employees are quick and on the ball. Place was kinda like log cabin decor, no loud music but probably gets noisy with a full house. read more

I had an amazing time great food and service definitely try to get Marie as your server. The restaurant was busy, a few mistakes but I'm definitely going back read more

Marie was a great waitress. She paid great attention to our table and was very caring along with her great and funny personality!

We visited Broken Oar the other day and the food was okay. The chicken on my pasta was really good, but I wasn't loving the sauce that came with it. Our server was super sweet and I loved her attitude. The aesthetic inside is super cute. It was raining outside so it was super cozy coming in and seeing the theme. Update: Honestly, I had to think about it and see whether it was worth mentioning this or not, but we chose not to get any appetizers because we were so hungry and wanted to just get our food. When we declined the appetizer, we were asked if we wanted a "side salad" (which wasn't listed on the menu). Thinking that it was included in the entree we were getting, we said yes we would. Come to find out, the side salad alone was $8. We would've just gotten an appetizer if we had known the side salad was going to come out to be $8/each. I originally gave it 3 stars because the server was nice, but you would think they'd mention that to us when taking our order. read more

Food was good with decent portions. We split the pulled pork (delicious!) and each got a side -- only got 4 onion rings. Sweet potato fries were as great as they said they were. Our friends got the beast burger, and they thought they were scrumptious. Little bit of miscommunication regarding being told we could be sat outside, and confusion with my drink. Ambiance is on the right track. read more

Worth the small wait I had. Best steak I had in a while. Service was great yet not overbearing. Would recommend the smoked ribeye. I will be back. read more

Fun restaurant with beautiful professional local landscape photos and looks like an amazing log cabin. They have a nice grass area in the front with toys kids can play with while you wait for a table. We had the beef brisket, ribeye steak , and bacon avocado burgers which were all fantastic tasting. Sue our waitress was attentive and took good care of us. read more

After a full day of hiking, we landed at The Broken Oar Restaurant hungry and wiped out...and wow, did this place deliver. Everything just worked: laid-back atmosphere, big portions, and seriously good food. The staff were fantastic--welcoming, attentive, and added to the overall experience without missing a beat. I had every intention of taking photos... but the second the food hit the table, that plan disappeared. We went straight into "eat now, talk later" mode. Two words: Fried Pickles. And don't skip the house Sweet Potato Frie, they're worth the stop alone. I'm honestly still thinking about them. If you're in Moab, go. Just go! read more

Big party? No problem! Outstanding service, amazing selection of beers and great food.

The Service was 5 stars thanks to our server Shay. The food was fire and the presentation was beautiful. The parking lot is on the smaller side. We got here half hour after they opened and there was only 2 spots left and the place was busy (which is understandable). The decor is log cabin vibes (hence the name). Super cute! I highly recommend! read more

Tried Broken Oar with my wife as we were traveling through Moab. We had Shay as a server and she was great. I had the ribeye steak and my wife had chicken Marsala. While my steak wasn't the most tender cut I have ever had,, it was cooked as requested, tasty and plentiful. My wife really enjoyed the chicken Marsala. It was also plentiful and was one of the best she has had. Shay was great with recommendations on our meals and made suggestions on some local sights. She was very efficient and personable. We would eat here again without hesitation. read more
