Broken Oar Restaurant - Yum!! - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

Food was awesome. Had the Desolation Canyon burger, and it was the tastiest burger I've had in a long time. The ciabatta bun was a great touch. They specialize in their sweet potato fries, and they did not disappoint. Nice atmosphere, good service. read more

Disappointing. Service v patchy (delayed order entry) and food only passable. Flatbread was soggy had to be sent back to crisp it up. Pulled pork and sides fast food quality. read more

Do Not Order Takeout - they put you on indefinite hold and then hang up on you. Happened to me 2 nights in a row trying to order. Don't wast your time on this place. read more

I want to start off and say that the service was great!!! It's unfortunate that this place can't cook a steak. I ordered the Coulette Wagyu steak medium rare and it came out rare, it was red all the way through. So I sent it back, which I don't like doing because then it comes out overcooked and that was the case in this instance, partially well and medium well. The taste of the steak was off and I threw up half my meal in their bathroom and the other half when I got back home. I only ate it all, because I didn't eat since breakfast and was starving. Needless to say, I regretted it. The sirloin, which is what this cut is, is better at Denny's. Also, don't get the nachos, they are just glorified 7-11 nachos; chips, cheese sauce, and green onion. read more

Great food and quick service! Went on a wednesday night and they were busy, but were able to seat us quickly!

Good food, great building, open late enough that we got dinner the night we arrived in Moab. We had the fish and onion rings, shrimp fettuccine and apple pie ala mode for desert. read more

Good place to enjoy good food. Both burger and medallions were fine. The meat tastes delicious. We felt sweet potato fries were overrated - definitely way too sweet. read more

They must have a chef as the food is varied, creative and delicious. She had a Ceasars salad with chicken and garlic toast. It was all excellent. I had a quesadilla with pork and other great ingredients. read more

The Broken Oar was our first lunch stop in Moab. It got us really excited about the food in the city. We had no idea this would be one of the best places we ate the whole trip. My husband could not stop raving about his tri-tip sandwich. I thought my pulled pork was pretty average. But the shining star here was the sweet potato fries. Omg. They were SO GOOD and I don't even like sweet potato fries. They were covered in caramel sauce and lemon zest, but somehow weren't soggy. There wasn't even an up-charge; they were just one of the options available. They were simply amazing. I got the flat French fries with my meal and was bummed. Don't get me wrong. They were good, actually way better than average fries. But the sweet potato fries were everything. The service was also great. We loved our waitress. The vibe of the place is cool too; it has a rustic lodge feel. The only negative was the iced tea. It seems no restaurant in Moab makes it fresh though, so I can't really ding them. I wish I would have tried their fresh-made lemonade. We'll try that next time. read more

Great restaurant! Try the smoked brisket and chocolate cake for dessert. You will not be disappointed. They offer military discount as well which is always appreciated. read more

Let me preface with these are Moab 4 stars, not any other city 4 stars. Compared to the other restaurants in the area, The Broken Oar has really good entrees. We had steak, chicken masala, salmon, and pork chops and everything was eaten. So good. However, the apps were meh. Our $8 chips and salsa was a plate of stale chips and dull salsa. The coke was flat and we had to ask for the water that was four feet away from our table. For dessert, our cheesecake was a sliver and the brownie was inedible (couldn't slice with a fork). Service was ok, I guess. A long wait for food but at least the entrees were worth it. To the hostess who asked "Can I help you?" when I walked in, I'll assume you misspoke and did not judge the color of my skin, even though the other families who walked in after me were asked "How can I help you?" read more

Melena was my server and she couldn't have been more polite and prompt. Easily the best dining experience I have had. I ordered the sirloin, it took about 5 minutes to get to the table and was cooked to perfection along with the asparagus and sweet potato fries. They were all excellent. I would give the place 6 stars if I could, probably because whoever was running the jukebox needs a promotion, started off with Billy Joel and followed that up with Sweet Caroline. read more

Worst service ever. They didn't even know we were seated. Watched several tables get sat and get their food before I even got my drink. Steak was ordered Medium rare came well done. Do not get sucked in to tourist trap! read more

After 7 days of mountain biking from hut to hut this place did not disappoint. Our group of 6 was seated quickly. I think the waitress's name was Lanell. She was super sweet. She checked on food allergy items for me with a smile. We ordered a ton of food, all of which was delightful. I ordered the stuffed mushroom entree as an appetizer. Several others liked the wings, calamari, and onion rings. The blackened salmon was lite enough I ordered sweet potato fries to go. My husband had the ice cream and was pleasantly surprised by the quantity. Overall a great experience. read more

Jauna was the sweetest and best server! Came for my birthday the other night and she sang to me and was so efficient.

Girls Trip! We came to Moab for fun in the sun and after hiking all day, we decided burgers were in need! We came to The Broken Oar and after being seating the cutest server ever, Bina, came to greet us. She was amazing, prompt and attentive! Our burgers and sweet potato fries were exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Bina for making us feel welcome and comfy! Great place! read more

Melena was a fantastic waitress! The oar lemonade is amazing! I had the medallions and my friend had the brisket. Both were really good. Was told the burgers are super great too! If you are lucky there might be live music! We happened to come in on a Saturday and hear some local river raft guides sing some classics with acoustic guitars! read more

- decent ribeye steak, but instead of $33 on their website menu, it is $38.5, which is fine, I'd recommend to update their price/menu as of 03/19 - very dry brisket, recommended by server - nice venue, high ceiling, great draft beers, inconsistent price and quality of food read more

Great food and service. Good size portions and reasonable prices. Bina was a great server! read more

Great food must try the Broken oar feast combo great for dates and getting good flavors of different meat.it is worth the money . Food was fantastic service . Just made my list of great bbq places read more

This was the PERFECT place to stop in for dinner after a long afternoon hiking in Canyonlands with my boyfriend. I had a fresh raspberry + peach lemonade to start. I ordered The Oar Burger, and it was so juicy and packed with flavor. My boyfriend had the Pulled Pork Sandwich, and he could not stop raving about the tangy barbecue sauce and tender shredded pork. Its such a friendly atmosphere with outside games for kids, great music and an overall great ambiance. To top off the entire experience, our server Melena was an absolute doll. She was super attentive, had great recommendations & felt like a friend from the start. 10/10 will be back!!!! read more

My server Shat was above and beyond with the service she always had our drinks refilled and was very outgoing! I definitely recommend coming and getting good food I got the chicken tenders with onion rings and they were delicious. I'll definitely be back when I come back to Moab. There's a chill vibe and everyone is nice and friendly. A good spot to stop for food if you're in the area visiting. read more

Best dinner in Moab. Mickey was a delight, and so welcoming! So happy with the experience! Absolutely delicious.

Great food and beer selection. Friendly staff and apps and food came out quickly. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

Excellent service by Mickey our waiter and Maria the cook and her staff in the kitchen was amazing!!! Would definitely recommend a stop at the Broken Oar, you will not have a broken heart or promise! read more

Our service was excellent; Melena helped us navigate the menu and pointed us in the right direction every step of the way. 6 stars

Hostess really needs some training in customer service. We needed spots for 18. She said I can't do that. We told her we were willing to wait, break up into tables of four, where ever and she still said she couldn't accommodate. Really? She finally agreed to add us to the waitlist but said she needed five names--again we told her no problem and gave her 5 names. Our waitress was great and there were 10 of us in her area. Other group got an impolite waitress. Unhappy that the guys who had been Jeeping took time to wash their hands. Made inappropriate comment to customer to not lean back in a chair cause they were expensive and would cost him a lot of money if he broke it. We tip well and aren't rowdy, try to be polite and nothing was said to her but I expect a little better treatment when I'm spending my hard earned money. Food was great--customer service and treatment lousy. read more

Our Server Rainbow was amazing, clean, and bubbly. Love her definitely will be coming back on our adventures. I got the Fettucini Alfredo, it was amazing read more

We had an amazing dinner at the broken oar. The cilantro lemon chicken is delicious, and our server Mickey made sure we had everything we needed. The rustic log cabin atmosphere gave room to a fun, friendly, and inviting feel. Would definitely come back. read more

Cute restaurant not on the Main Street in Moab. First and foremost, from the host at the door who was very kind and accommodating to our amazing server Shay, we had excellent service. Shay went above and beyond making recommendations, letting us know the timeline of our food and was very friendly and upbeat. The sweet potato fries were out of this world delicious! One could almost eat them for dessert. Hamburgers had great flavor, even for the picky eater at the table. The beer battered onion rings were light and airy and simply delicious. There is fun and games to be had out front of the restaurant too. Super family friendly restaurant. I definitely recommend this place. Shout out to Brayden who works at the Anasazi Clothing store for telling us about this place. We've come to Moab every summer for the past 6 years and never even knew this place existed. Thank you again to Shay, for your excellent, upbeat and kind service! read more

Best dinner in Moab!! Great atmosphere and they treated our group like family. Met Randy the day before as our guide on a booked excursion and could not be happier with both experiences. We will be back. read more

Everything about The Broken Oar Restaurant was excellent!!! We stayed in Moab for a couple days and were so pleased with our dinner the first night that we had to go back the next evening. Fabulous dinner experience. read more

Overdue review: Stopped by for dinner during my trip to MOAB. Every other place had over an hour wait and this was around 8 PM too! Broken Oar was good, the food was decent - nothing fancy. The wait was initially suppose to be an hour as well; but, that came down to be around 30 minutes! Score. I wouldn't call this a hot spot - but for the price, the amount of food and the attentive service, i'd say it was worth the 30 min wait time. read more

The Broken Oar is your typical All-American restaurant in Moab. It's the perfect place for multiple occasions. You can stop in after a day of hiking at Arches (less than a 10 minute drive) in your gym shorts and tee shirt. You can stop in for a nicer family dinner while on vacation. All in all, a pretty great place. For dinner I split the Southwest Chicken Sandwich. You really can not mess up chicken with pepper jack cheese and grilled veggies. The sandwich was not huge, but defiantly large enough to split between two people. For the side I had asparagus which was cooked to perfection. I did not realize until after I ordered that The Broken Oar is home of the sweet potatoes fries. Although my asparagus was great, I do wish I would have tried the sweet potato fries as someone at the table next to us got them and they looked amazing. Highlight of the meal was the free table salad and rolls that were brought out before our entree. The salad had fresh tomatoes and olives. The dinner rolls were fresh and warm. read more

This place was great! They were very prompt and had a wonderful menu selection. Our server, Bina was super helpful and personable! We had an option of outdoor seating and the view of the mountains was excellent. They did a great job of respecting social distancing and other covid-19 guidelines. The salad that came before our meal was nice and had a light Italian dressing. The drinks such as the iced tea and lemonade were massive! And they had free refills! If we are ever in Moab again, we will definitely return! read more

Don't think I'll ever find better sweet potato fries then I had here. Dinner was enjoyed by all Came back for lunch a few days later because their strawberry lemonade is the perfect remedy to the scorching sun read more

The beers were good the good was average. The nachos used really bad cheese and the meat was all fat.

Overall a great experience. We had the steak ceasar and French dip. Food came Out quickly and was delicious which was appreciated after a long drive from Salt Lake City. Prices were reasonable. We will be back read more
