That's basically what happened here, except instead of chocolate and peanut butter, it was an art gallery and a gastropub. Somehow it works. The vibe here is funky in mostly the right ways. The decor has a yard sale chic aesthetic that's somehow carefully curated without looking like it tried too hard. The staff had just enough piercings and tattoos for me know they would love to talk to me about their record collections if I asked, and the whole place manages to feel both laid back and just upscale enough that you can justify ordering anything from a burger to what looked like a pretty respectable ribeye. I went with the Shroom, a portobello mushroom burger, and it was enjoyable. Tons of flavor, perfectly satisfying, and paired with one of the crispest side salads I've had in a while. Bonus points for the edamame. I will happily eat edamame in just about anything. Not with jello though. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals, although we collectively demonstrated the adventurous spirit of a group that mostly ordered the Pub burger. So I can't claim we've fully explored the menu yet. This just gives me an excuse to come back. Service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The only moment that caught me a little off guard was when the owner stopped by to let us know he had baseball cards for sale in one part of the restaurant, along with an upstairs gallery featuring local artwork. I felt like he might next open his coat to show me some watches. He's just down for the hustle I guess. The art ranged from "that's pretty nice" to "someone really, really loves painting Utah's red rocks." Most of it was priced well beyond what I was looking to take home, but honestly, I have to respect that they're giving local artists a place to showcase their work. So maybe I'm just being a little grumpy. Get off my lawn. By the way I'd be happy to eat here again

A delightful encounter in Kanab, the small town along the way on our road trip to Salt Lake City. A…read morewonderful meal. Pistachio Chicken: The chicken breast was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a thin, crispy crust that was especially impressive. The sauce blended the mild aroma of Poblano chili, the creamy richness of butter, and the unique fragrance of herbs. Most precious was the pistachio aroma, both vibrant and subtle, without overpowering or masking the other flavors, creating a delicate balance. Even the saltiness was just right, subtle and delicate. The surface was garnished with pico de gallo, fresh, sweet, tangy, and spicy, balancing the potential heaviness of the sauce. The asparaguses were also very fresh, with a natural fragrance, but perhaps a little too mild with the sauce. Kanab Cowboy Ribs: The pork ribs were slow-cooked and roasted until they were so tender that they easily fell off the bone, offering no resistance when cutting into them. The homemade barbecue sauce coated it thickly, rich and sweet, with an authentic American barbecue flavor. It might be a bit too sweet for most Chinese palates, but I thought it was quite good. The agave mustard vinaigrette seemed more decorative; I nearly couldn't really taste it. Lemon Sorbet: Homemade sorbet, offering the most soulful finish. It was breathtakingly beautiful at first glance; the simple white porcelain plate and glass were limpid and elegant, perfectly matching the sorbet's style. Unlike typical sorbets that emphasize extreme acidity, this restaurant took a different approach, with a gentle, even subtle, acidity that brings out the natural, lively fragrance of lemon, like Lolita's touch through pale silk. The texture was also delicate and smooth, without any ice crystals. Everyone was captivated; some even ordered an extra to take away. The restaurant claims that ingredients come from its organic garden. This might be a pointless gimmick, but the cooking and presentation of the dishes conveyed a consistent level of refinement and care, making it all the more valuable.

So I appreciate the familiar friend when the craving hits. Unfortunately, the order that I placed and the food that I received was not quite what I expected and I didn't notice until I'd driven away (my mistake, but I didn't check my food prior to leaving.) However, I want to share a minor encounter here. When my wife and I pulled into the drive thru, we were asked to wait a moment before placing our order. After a minute or two of silence, I had a surprise sneeze attack. After I finished up the nonsense, I kind voice came over the loudspeaker and said "bless you." Even though they got my order a bit wrong (it happens, no biggie), I appreciate the blessings upon my allergies. I look back on that interaction with a smile... and that's even better than the right order.

We stopped here at lunchtime, passing through, just to try the returning snack wraps. The place was packed, yet no one was working the counter. Only one two-sided kiosk was open, and there was a line on both sides. It took about 15 minutes to get our food. The fries were barely hot. My husband's ranch chicken snack wrap had chewy chicken. Mine was okay--but only okay. The wrap itself was way too big for the chicken, completely throwing off the balance. And the price doesn't help: a combo meal with two wraps, fries, and a drink ran about $10 each. Just not worth it. Prices here are up, quality is down, and service is slow. Right next door, there's a great local burger joint we've enjoyed before--go there instead. Don't waste your time at this McDonald's.

It was pushing 100 degrees outside, and somehow the best decision I made all day was ordering grilled cheese and tomato soup. It doesn't make any sense. It's like putting on your favorite comfy sweater when you should be cannonballing into a swimming pool. But great comfort food doesn't care what season it is and neither should you. Brown Box is exactly the kind of place every small town hopes it has. It feels less like a restaurant and more like the town's living room. There are community bulletin boards, games to play while you hang out, stories about the owners and staff on the walls, and just an overall warmth that makes you want to linger a little longer. The menu is super simple with salads, desserts and a whole lineup of grilled cheeses. I went with the classic grilled cheese which was made with a blend of cheeses on rosemary crusted bread, and I'm convinced someone in that kitchen has figured out a way to improve on the laws of physics. Bread and cheese have absolutely no business tasting that good. Pair it with the tomato soup, and suddenly 100 degree weather feels completely irrelevant. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and while I was too full to try them this time, their homemade ice cream and desserts seemed to be the stars of the show. Judging by how many people were ordering them, I'll be correcting that mistake on my next visit. Brown Box just fits Kanab. It's welcoming, unpretentious, and has that genuine community feel that's impossible to fake. If you're visiting Kanab, put this place on your list. And if you're a local you probably already have. Honestly I don't even know why you're reading this review. read more
