Worth the 30 minute wait on a weeknight. We were seated and served promptly. Both of us had Medallions, cooked perfectly, tender and tasty. Sue, our server, was professional, knowledgeable and kind. Nice log cabin interior, impeccably clean, able to handle a crowd. read more

Shout out to Vinny! He was our server, excellent energy and very approachable. They got our order wrong and he noticed immediately, got us the correct food fast. The food tasted great but I did feel $45 for a steak was a little much. Overall great service! read more

Was able to get seated right away for dinner in a great log building with exposed beams. Hostess and waitress were attentive. Burgers were great. Food was good all around and good size portions! read more

Very loud with kids running all through the place without parents. Long wait for waitress to take our order after bringing the water. Very long wait for the food. Food was hot and good. Not too sure it made up for the bad service. Pricey loud and bad service. read more

Even though it was busy the night that we arrived, we were seated within 20 minutes, and our waitress, Shay, was extremely friendly and diligent. She made a special version of the strawberry lemonade (added peach); it was so yummy! I had the Buffalo burger, and my husband had the beast burger, and we were both very pleased with our choices. The sweet potato fries really are exceptional- I've never had them drizzled with honey, but it makes them extra delicious. The chocolate cake with mousse and pieces of cheesecake was amazing. Overall, it was a great place to have a special dinner in Moab. read more

The Broken Oar had a great rustic atmosphere, good food and microbrew beer. Aubrey our server was terrific in food and beer recommendations and great service read more

Food is super expensive and it took us 2 hours to get our food. will never come again ts is horrible

The chicken on the pasta Alfredo was great, the pasta so so. Also had the Caesar salad which was fine. Service was really good and nice atmosphere read more

First timers to Broken Oar and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and our server (Shay) was great!! She talked us into trying the "Shay Lemonade" including peaches/strawberries in the lemonade. So good we took one to-go! If you're a dessert person, the choices were amazing, as well! read more

The sweet potato fries are a must!!! Very efficient staff. Do not let long line deter you.

We're in Moab for the weekend to visit the nearby national parks and went to Broken Oar tonight for dinner. Everything was excellent! We ordered the pickle fries for an app and then we both ordered the beast burger and got it "broken oar style" and it was 10/10. Honorable mention- the sweet potato fries were all the hype. Our server, Shay, was wonderful and so attentive. We'll definitely be back the next time we visit Moab! read more

Everything here was fantastic. The service, the food, the drinks, the ambiance. If we are in town again this is the first place I'd go. I do want to highlight that as good as the food is here, the service was incredible and the highlight. The medallions were our favorite item the pork chop close second. read more

When you walk in it's like stepping back in time log building and rustic decor and why not you're in the Wild West of Moab. We ate upstairs just because it's different over seeing other people having a great time is a good start. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable about the menu with a great sense of humor. I had bone in chicken wings w/sriracha bourbon sauce, great wing cooked to perfection and delicious heat and sweet sauce. My wife had chicken strips and sweet potato fries. The strips were above par, but those fries were incredible great flavor and crispness PS the menu is dated on yelp some items are no longer available go to their website instead read more

Food was outstanding, especially after a day of hiking. :) Specialty lemonade hit the spot- Shea's special strawberry peach mix was perfect. The atmosphere was family friendly. Cool setting with outdoor, indoor seating, upstarts and downstairs. Service was great- Shea was so kind and helpful. Everyone was very friendly. read more

The atmosphere is great. The service was wonderful. The food was good. The prices were high but that was expected. I had a delicious pork chop and my partner had some pretty good chicken fingers. read more

Stopped here for dinner after a long day of outdoor adventures! Vinny was our server he was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed the ribeye and the eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was perfectly cooked as was the ribeye... however the meat was not a fabulous cut (a bit tough) but the chef knew how to cook it/ season it right. Fun atmosphere and the employees seemed to be happy. read more

We had about a 20 min wait for dinner but there were games to play so it wasn't too bad. We sat on the porch and enjoyed the food. We would come again. read more

The BROKEN OAR opens at 4:30 pm. We visited on several days and tried to be there at opening because the parking lot fills up quickly with the restaurant not far behind. Service was always great with excellent food. I had the chicken tenders, fish & chips, and brisket sandwich on different nights, choosing the brisket sandwich as my favorite. Pricing for the ICE TEA was horrendous at $6.00 with soft drinks at $4.50. Everything else was probably ok for a tourist town. The pricing is confusing because the web site menu said unsweetened ice tea was $4.00. Lemonade was $7.00. We did not even bother trying any other restaurants. We loved the food, service, and atmosphere. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Broken Oar during our time in Moab. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding. The honey lime sriracha salmon was to die for, cooked perfectly with so much flavor. Our server, Melena, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Broken Oar is a place I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Moab. Great food, great service, and a very comfortable setting. read more

This was the best place we found to eat in Moab, but even this was not quite as good as we would have liked. The service was great, and the ambience pleasant. The food just needed a little something...like maybe some sauce on the bison burger because tomato and lettuce are fine, but they don't help when the burger bun is dry. read more

Just the best! Our salmon and pork chop entrees were so delicious! The sweet potato fries did not disappoint. And, the chocolate dessert was other-worldly. Melena, our server was so so great and helped us narrow down a whole lot of excellent choices. Service and dinner were exceptional!!! p.s. We sat outside and enjoyed a killer view. It's why we're all here, right???!!! read more

The service was good during a busy time of day. The food was enjoyable. The beer was cold. I would go there again to explore the menu more.

Great menu/Great food! We were a party of 9 and they gave us a good size table and service was great. Can't go wrong with the pull pork sandwich. We order the cheese curds to start with but they were a little disappointing. The glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay was a bit on the warm side. This is the only reason I gave this place four stars instead of five. The raspberry lemonade was so good! read more

Great food if you can get there before they close for the evening. Cobb Salad was great as were the wings. There's outside seating but only a view of the parking lot and back of some buildings. I'll be back next time I'm in Moab. read more

Broken Oar Restaurant - Amazing Cobb Salad - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

I do not understand the hype. Maybe we just didn't order their specialties. The food was just OK. The atmosphere was crowded and really loud. The device was good but over the top. We had brisket sandwich, Cobb salad and fish and chips. The fish and chips were terrible. The Cobb salad was basic and the brisket was decent. I wouldn't wait for an hour to be seated that's for sure. read more

We had a great meal here. Vinny, our waiter, was very nice. We had the pulled pork sandwich, with sweet potato fries and the breaded shrimp. Both were delicious. We also liked the cabin atmosphere. read more

The Broken Oar is easily my favorite restaurant in Moab. This place rocks! I am not sure what happen to the poor oar, but the restaurant itself definitely isn't broken. This place is thriving! After hitting the trails all day during Jeep Safari, we were hungry and wanted to grab a bite before heading to a night trail. Everyone else recommended basic/mediocre options, but I insisted that we check out The Broken Oar. The one hesitation was the price point...but spoiler alert: it is sooo worth it! Unbeknownst to us, The Broken Oar doesn't open until 5pm. We were there just a little after 4pm, so we had some time to kill. By 4:59pm, there was a mob of people waiting to get in. See, this is how you know it's good. If I could slide in a recommendation, it would be to definitely be to the restaurant early. During our dinner, there was a very long wait and it was like the end of a wedding, when you are going through an arch of people on the way out of the restaurant. I loved it, but not a single person gave me a high five upon my exit. We didn't have a wait at all because we were basically first in line for a table. We were in a table of 8 people. Upon arriving at our table, the chairs were extremely heavy and it seemed a bit crowded with the table behind us. However, the atmosphere was so fun and inviting. It was like a big cabin. They were also selling Jeep Safari shirts and gave us a great deal on them. We ordered the sweet potato fries and the cheese curds to start. The fries were amazing--that is what they are known for at The Broken Oar, apparently. The cheese curds were good but nothing out of this world if I am being honest. The sweet potato fries were dressed in a caramel sauce and some kind of zest (maybe cheese) that made them taste so good. For my drink, I decided to try their peach raspberry lemonade. This was easily the best lemonade I have ever had in my whole life. It was chunky, but in the best way. I usually am weird about pulp but this added more texture and flavor to the already delicious drink. I got a few refills of this. My mouth is watering as I reminisce on this delicious drink. For the entree, everything looked amazing...but I decided on the turkey pesto with fries and a side of ranch. Once my food came out, it didn't have the ranch with it. I am so glad I asked again because this was the best ranch I have ever had. Good heavens. It was so good, I ended up needing multiple rounds of the delectable, herb-infused sauce. It paired so perfectly with the pesto sandwich and tasted great with the salty fries too. The service throughout was nothing short of incredible. They consistently checked in on us and made sure everything was going well. Everyone was so friendly and quick with refills and our order. Brooque (or Brooke, if you see her nametag) was an awesome server. She was so kind and patient with us and just had an awesome attitude throughout the entire interaction. This is a given, but yes, I'll be coming back. The Broken Oar may just be one of my favorite restaurants of all time, but it is definitely top notch for my Moab adventures. I am looking forward to my next visit and hope to share the love and bring some new friends with me next time. Thanks for hosting such an amazing experience! read more

After all the 5-star reviews, I was really looking forward to the Broken Oar. Sorry to report, we were sorely disappointed. Very rustic decor, which is quite nice, but all the hard wood surfaces make it loud, especially upstairs where we were promptly seated. Our service was friendly. Menu is mostly burgers and sandwiches. Food was just OK. My Ran Daddy sandwich was fatty and the brisket tasted like it was cooked with liquid smoke, not a real smoker. Her fish & chips were frozen blaa, as she put it. Beer was cold, but I was looking for a martini tonight - only beer and wine here. Don't think we will be back --------------- read more

The steak was cooked to perfection! And to top it all off Sue was an amazing staff! She knows her craft, she is wonderful and very warm! Keep up the good service! read more

We went straight there after a long day of NP exploring. It was convenient and close to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised when the food tuned out to be so good! The service was great, the atmosphere was chill, the food was delicious! read more

We were visiting from out of town and stopped here for dinner. The menu selection is broad and creative and the food was great. Even better, however, was the service. Our waitress, Shay was incredibly friendly and helpful. Constantly smiling and working to make sure we were taken care of. I recommend the restaurant and definitely Shay's section. read more

Broken Oar is our favorite restaurant in Moab. We have been coming to Moab for 30 years but have never experienced such a skilled, affable and helpful server as Shay! The incredible food and Shay really helped to make our evening a wonderful dining experience. read more

My wife and I eat out of Fairmount and rarely do we get a server as polite and professional as Franklin He was training Carlos and he was also terrific Whoever dies the hiring there is doing a great job because both of our servers were terrific! read more

Great food and especially service from Melissa for being so so helpful. She spent time with us to make sure we were satisfied. Thanks Melissa read more

My husband and I enjoyed a great meal in the huge log cabin called Broken Oar. The pulled pork and beef brisket were delicious. The BBQ sauce may have been their own recipe. It was flavorful without being overly spicy. Our excellent server, Aubrey, made the whole dining experience top notch. Thanks Aubrey! read more

The Broken Oar was your average restaurant. You won't be disappointed if you are just looking for a meal. It was overpriced though. My husband and I paid about $100 for 2 entrees and 2 sodas. The food was okay. It was very busy when we went and our poor waiter seemed overwhelmed. He did his best to take care of us. Cute place though with the decor. read more

We went here for dinner on our 3rd night here and our sever was very polite, efficient and attentive. We had the wedge salad and brisket plate. The brisket was a little fattier than we like and a tad salty, but overall a good experience. read more

Service by Franklin was wonderful, restaurant is fairly noisy!! My hamburger would have been delicious if they had cooked it med-well, like I ordered it not med rare! But they took it off the ticket without me asking! read more

Awesome food and unbelievably fast service! We were welcomed in and ShayLynne was incredible! She was so fast, kind, got us everything we needed, and seriously MADE the dining experience! The food was also amazing (We got the French dip, the Miner's Cabin burger, and the fettuccine Alfredo) This was genuinely the best fettuccine Alfredo I've ever had in my life! It was so flavorful, would absolutely recommend even though the portion was a little small. The liquor was a little limited but the food more than made up for it. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more
