They hosted my wedding rehearsal dinner last minute and did a wonderful job. Randy was such a huge help from the beginning and the staff were kind and patient with my guests. Everyone raved how good the food was (in particular the chicken Parmesan and cookies!) I will definitely come back when I'm in town again! read more

We applaud the staff for being so welcoming on a night of a major flood storm. The manager and staff were so busy making sure the leaks in the vents were cleaned up and all safety measures were taken care of before seating anyone. The staff were friendly and kind. Our server, Shay was very helpful and super informative. She recommended the pork chop dinner to my husband. It was delicious and came with garlic mash potatoes and fresh asparagus. I had the Cobb salad, it was huge and chucked full of the listed ingredients. No skimping here! We took a piece of the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake (made in house) to go because we were so full from dinner. It was phenomenal! read more

Shay was the best. 5 stars. Food was great too. Burger and onion rings. It is a must whenever you stop in Moab

Waiter, Mickey, was excellent! Food was fabulous! Honey Siracha Lime Samon and sweet potato fries (unique) were outstanding! Great restaurant in Moab! read more

Shay was our waitress and she was amazing! Will go back many times! She made us feel like we were her only patrons. Very friendly and great interaction with all 6 of us! read more

Went there twice and had a blast both times. We had amazing waitresses both times. First time we had brooke as our server and she was really fun and patient with our toddler son. 2nd tine we had shay serving us and she was equally very good with our son and entertained him alot. Food and ambiance also excellent. read more

The food is the best food in Moab! And Shay was such a great waitress, she was so kind and really made sure we had a great experience! It was so great we went twice on our trip. read more

Recommended by the receptionist at our hotel. Food was excellent and the price reasonable. Our server, Shay, was personable and professional. A very pleasurable dining experience! read more

Shay took very good care of us at the Broken Oar. She made good recommendations for dinner (medallions), drink (her own special lemonade), and dessert (white chocolate raspberry cheesecake). The ambiance felt very western and authentic. Everyone was happy with their meals- medallions served with garlic potatoes and asparagus, hot Moab chicken sandwich with fries, pulled pork with sweet potato fries, and the beast burger with sweet potato fries. read more

We had a terrible experience at the Broken Oar and I would not recommend dining there. We were visiting Moab with our kids and in-laws for Mother's Day weekend and we chose this restaurant to celebrate the night before since we'd be traveling home on Sunday. It was the only bad part of our trip. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 20-25 minute wait. About 45 minutes later, I asked for an update and was told our name had been crossed off the list by mistake. The hostess said our party of 7 could split up or we could wait even longer. We chose to wait. I noticed a 6 top that was open and suggested we sit there and add a chair on the end, but they wouldn't do that. So about 1.5 hours after we arrived, we were seated, and honestly not a huge deal, but off to a bad start. Note- while waiting, I observed the teenage guy who brings the food to the table eating fries off plates on 3 occasions as he picked up the food in the kitchen. Once seated upstairs by the racks of t-shirts, our server did his best and was very nice, but he had too many tables. We ordered some apps, one of which was their sweet potato fries. The front of the menu says, "Home of the Sweet Potato Fries", so we expected them to be good. What came out appeared to be frozen, overly-orange, sweet potato fries drizzled in a very sweet sauce. Bad. We sent them back and they gave us fries without the sauce, which was nice, but if you are famous for something, you'd think it wouldn't be a frozen, food-colored product. Also, the sweet potato fries were labeled as gluten free, but they aren't... they are cooked in the same fryer they cook their chicken tenders and other gluten covered items. One of our kids has Celiac Disease, so this was disappointing. For our entrees, both steaks that were ordered medium rare and medium were delivered well done gray and tough to cut. We sent them back and the waiter was very understanding, but when they brought out the replacement steaks, one was cooked properly but the side dishes were not reheated. The other steak they brought out was the exact same one that was returned, with the section that was originally cut into clearly still cut open, but now burned and solid as a rock. They had cooked it longer instead of replacing it. I think it was a misunderstanding between the waiter and the kitchen, but at that point most of our party were finishing their meals, so I asked for the steak to be removed and said I would go to Wendy's. They also still hadn't delivered one of our kid's entrees at that point and the waiter said he made a mistake and it hadn't been entered. My son ate alone after everyone else was finished and his burger was not good. I tried a bite. Barely warm, cheese not melted. The patty looked like one of the preformed 4 oz patties you can buy Walmart. Overall, we had 1 out of 7 in our party who enjoyed their food. My son loved his hot wings and they looked great, but he did not like his fries. BTW, their regular fries are just as bad as their sweet potato fries. Clearly frozen and cheap. The steaks are NOT Angus Prime as the menu states. 1000% choice cut cheap meat. If you want wings and beer, this might be your place. Oh, they only have beer and cheap wine. No cocktails and nothing resembling a wine list other than some Mondavi/ Yellow Tail type wines. Lastly, the decor of the Broken Oar is terrible. The building has potential, but they have sponsorship displays all over the restaurant. It feels like you are walking into a rafting/fly fishing outfitter, and they are clearly profiting from the sponsors, like Slickrock Apparel, which is plastered on their walls and menu. They sell merchandise in the restaurant. It feels tacky and not necessary. They should remove the used orange life jackets from the banisters, get rid of the logos on their menu and on the walls, take down the yellow, plastic broken rafting oars off the walls and just go for a Southwest theme. Who wants to dine in a place that feels like you're checking-in for a 4 hour rafting trip. And the staff all wear fly fishing shirts. Such a disappointment. The only positive is that everyone who worked there was nice enough and they didn't charge us for the one steak that we asked for them to remove. And I enjoyed my Wendy's at 10:15pm. Note- for those traveling with Gluten Free or Celiac Disease, consider Pasta Jay's and 98 Center Moab. We had a good experience at both. As for Broken Oar, I flet my kid could safely eat there with the chicken caesar salad minus croutons, but they shouldn't put GF on their menu for items that share a mixed fryer. 1 star (vs. 0) for the waiter who did his best and sincerely apologized to us. read more

I took my family out for dinner to the Broken Oar restaurant in Moab and had a blast. the food was amazing and our serve "Shey" took great care of us. read more

Everything was great. We had the game burger, some fish, and our kids had chicken tenders. Too drink we had peach tea (which was tea with actually peach added to it). We also shared a slice of chocolate cake. No complaints about the taste or quality of the food. But the price is hefty. We are 2 adults and 1 kid, and our bill was 114 bucks. If you're looking to spoil yourself this is the place. The sweet potato fries were tasty. 4 starts because the price was no joke. read more

This place is great atmosphere. Excellent service and great food. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Excellent. I tried the strawberry lemonade. Perfect meal after a trip to Arches National Park. Highly recommend read more

We're from out of town on vacation. We were recommended by a local to come here for dinner and found the food amazing. Our server Shay was delightful and attentive. She new the menu and even recommended her own special nonalcoholic drink, strawberry peach lemonade, for my mother-in-law which had actual peaches and strawberries in it ! Ambiance was just what to expect from a desert town: cozy, rustic, charming. We sat at a table on the porch with views of the mountains. What more could you want ? read more

A pleasant dinner, but food and service were decidedly average. We were seated upstairs which was fine with us, but the food runner was definitely unhappy with making trips up and down the stairs and mentioned it each time he arrived at any table. read more

We had a wonderful meal here. The menu is marked with items that are gluten-free, and that is such a help. My partner had the Stuffed Portbella and I had the Chicken Marsala. Both were tasty, but the Stuffed Portabella had so much more flavor in it. We arrived at five minutes after they opened, and we had to wait about ten minutes to be seated. It was crazy busy. Our server, Melena (sorry if I botched the spelling), was quick, helpful, and friendly. The drinks came quickly, as did the meal. This was amazing considering how busy they were. read more

Food was delicious I had the fettuccine with chicken and it was so good and my husband had the pork chops! Our server Shay was fabulous! Also, she was so good that we dine there two nights in a row! To the management, if she is good enough to get passersbys to dine twice while here for a short time she deserves a closer look at her abilities and her skills to make our dining a pleasant experience. Also, today is her birthday, so everyone needs to wish her a happy birthday! Machado's from Rhode Island read more

I was pleasantly surprise by the deliciousness of the food here. There was something for all 3 of us to eat which can be difficult to find a place we all agree on. Melena the waitress was wonderful and the ambiance stunned both myself and my husband. For once, a restaurant didn't overstimulate my child which is a huge win in my opinion. I am very grateful for the experience we had. read more

First time here and searched it on google. The food was good and the portions were good, I would recommend this place as people do get more after 5pm read more

My family and I have come to Moab for awhile but we've never been to this restaurant. As soon as we stepped foot into this place it was such a welcoming environment. We ordered the dip as an appetizer. I had the chicken fingers which were absolutely amazing. My parents had burgers which they loved. I had also order the peach iced tea which came in a super cool big glass. I loved this restaurant and our waiter. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Went without a reservation, seated us immediately, service was solid and food was good. It was the first establishment we ate at when we arrived to Moab and have to say the service at all the establishments we ate at over the weekend was a breath of fresh air. read more

This is probably the most upscale dining experience in Moab. We sat upstairs. We ordered a wedge salad and a Flat Iron steak to share. They were out of the Flat Iron so we ended up getting the Ribeye. If I'm being honest, the steak didn't have a lot of flavor, but it was decent and cooked exactly as ordered. It came with mashed potatoes and six (literally six) VERY thin asparagus. Our server Dakota was excellent even though she seemed to have quite a few tables she was taking care of and having to run up and down the stairs. We took a slice of the chocolate cake to go for dessert and it was delicious! read more

During our 5 day stay in Moab the Broken Oar was probably the best restaurant we ate at in terms of equal customer service and food quality. From our dining experience in Moab, establishments provided decent food and mediocre service. Not sure what the root of this is but it could a mixture of resentment toward the hordes of tourists and/or the lack of hospitality training in such a small town. Anyway, if you come to the Broken Oar during peak tourist season during the dinner hour be prepared for a long wait, 30 min to 1 hour+ depending on your group size. We came around 6:30 PM and waited roughly 45 min for a table for 6. The hostess working the front was well-mannered and attentive. I ordered their dry-aged ribeye with BBQ butter - medium rare. I did not have high expectations from our prior meals in Moab but I was actually surprised to find my steak perfectly seasoned and cooked. It was delicious every bite. Our waiter brought everybody's food out timely along with our pitchers of the locally brewed beer. He had a polite demeanor and ensured our water glasses were filled. I would say that my entrée looked and probably tasted the best on the table so do yourself a favor and order their ribeye. read more

Arrived at 7p and had a 30 min. wait. We really enjoyed the meal, service and atmosphere, it was worth it the wait. No liquor license but it's coming. Staff really worked very hard and it showed. Highly recommend. read more

Great casual restaurant with a lot of really good options, very cool ambiance, music that even boomers can like. Menu is not just pizza and burgers, good choices here. read more

Broken Oar Restaurant - Inside Broken Oar - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

Moab doesn't have great restaurants- we've been to many of them over several years. We finally made it to The Broken Oar and were glad we did. The menu was simply laid out and the meals were all well presented and tasted great. Our table had everything from burgers to trout. The inside of the restaurant is very pleasant and our service was very good. Look forward to another visit! read more

We had a fantastic dinner at The Broken Oar and our server Shay was very attentive and gave us very friendly and thoughtful service. I was very sad to see that they no longer have the fish tacos that I love however, my fish sandwich was excellent! And my husband said his or burger was on point. read more

Food and service were average. Nothing special. Ordered a burger. It came with fries (sweet potato or regular potato) or onion rings. I asked the waitress if I could get 1/2 regular fries and 1/ 2 onion rings. She answered quickly no. One or the other. When the food came, the flys came as well. They kept buzzing around making it impossible to finish my meal. I had to bring 1/2 of it back to my room to finish it. Overall not a very pleasant dining experience. Wouldn't go back. read more

Joe was an excellent server!!! Great food. Highly recommend the burgers or steak they have

Amazing steak and absolutely the BEST sweet potato fries I've ever had in my life! Excellent service, very attentive- 5 out of 5!

Yelpers, I'm really surprised at all the great reviews on this place. It is really just okay. Things to know before going, it is a beer and wine only place which is not a big deal to me, but if you like mixed drinks this place is not for you. They also pride themselves on their sweet potato fries. I don't know if I got a bad batch, but the frozen sweet potato fries at the grocery store are better than what I got. The reason for 3 stars was that the service was really good and it had a cute atmosphere. Good: Service and atmosphere Not bad, but not good: The food read more

The food and service was great! We had the chicken Alfredo, and chicken Marsala. It was delicious.
