    Jailhouse is apparently an institution of Moab. It was a good breakfast/brunch place for what we wanted. It was good but not super special. Mostly typical eggs, omelets, pancakes and waffle. Fairly pricey, but comparable to other spots in town. If you like this kind of food, it's worth stopping in. Our service was friendly. And the restaurant itself was cute.

    We had a great experience at Jailhouse while in town! Our entire time was seamless, and the staff was amazing. The food was hot, delicious and quick! Would highly recommend coming here for a breakfast. We sat outside and it was a great vibe.

    Coffee.  Decent.

    Here is the most honest review you'll get. We got here on Monday 9:20am. Stopped in because it was packed. We only waited 5 mins. Got seated but then had to wait awhile before we got asked if we wanted anything. Ordered 2 cups of 5 buck coffee. It was decent. Then we ordered a stack of pancakes (4). It was 15 bucks for very basic pancakes. Pricey. Ordered side of bacon (3) strips for 8 bucks. This was some of the best bacon I've ever had. Very very good. Ordered a omelette. Omelette was small but good. Toast was super cold. Potato's were cold and had very good flavors. Spicy. Perfect however cold. Overall this is not a typical greasy spoon restaurant. Good had great flavors but over priced. I most likely will never come again. 3 stars. Bacon was amazing. Vibe was excellent. Music. . Food was. Basic.

    Thick Bacon

    This restaurant is known for their Eggs Benedict, Swedish Pancakes and their thick bacon. We ordered 2 of these items and agreed with the recommendations. The Eggs Benedict are really so delicious. They use a non-traditional hollandaise sauce which, amazingly amped up the flavor of the eggs! And the eggs were perfectly made so that the whites were thoroughly cooked and the yolk was runny. Odd, but this is a difficult thing to get in a restaurant. The meal was served with delicious home fries where the potatoes were moist and flavored. We also ordered a side of their thick bacon, which had a bit of a different flavor - very nice. The bacon was perfectly cooked. We took a chance on the egg scramble, which had lots of promise with the many ingredients listed, but the eggs were overcooked and dry, so the other ingredients couldn't compensate. They served the eggs with a very nice bread for their toast. We almost didn't come here as we only saw the side of the building, which was a very small house looking structure. But as you continue down the street, you can see that they have expanded their restaurant to include the dining area: an "inside" area and a patio area. All of this new structure is glass or plastic windows, they have heating and cooling to accommodate for the time of day and they did a great job of making a pleasant eatery. Everyone we met at the restaurant was pleasant and kind. It was such an enjoyable time. We have a few more days in Moab, so we will be back.

    Really good service is the hallmark of this place as are the pancakes. We tried the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam. They were very good - served hot and fresh, light and thin. While the flavor is the same as a regular pancake, the thinness was unique. We ate the chorizo scramble which was hearty and savory. Lattes were great! Friendly service and good, down home feel.

    Delicious breakfast in Moab! The ginger pancakes with the apple butter was phenomenal and the Benedict was flavorful. Even without a side of sausage or eggs, the pancakes were very filling. The tea was just Tazo, which was good but I was hoping for lose leaf for the price. Service was quick and the venue was quite charming. I appreciated that even in the new wing, they stayed true to the historic house with a metal relief ceiling nice touch.

    Chorizo burrito
    Jessie W.

    Great place to fuel up before hitting the Arches National Park. The chorizo burrito was hearty without being too heavy. The potatoes were great too with a southwest seasoning. Coffee was also very good. Others at the table enjoyed their meals as well. Not too long of a wait and service was good.

    Eggs florentine
    Sadie B.

    This cute little breakfast place was the perfect end to my Moab trip. A classic American style breakfast joint. I got a hot latte and the eggs florentine, both were great. My cousin got buttermilk pancakes and she loved them, super fluffy! They had lots of servers working, so we didn't wait long for our food and drinks. There was a short wait on a Sunday morning, but they still got us seated quickly. Awesome place!

    Chorizo eggs Benedict
    Stacey K.

    I saw best eggs Benedict claim here so I decided to try it since I am an eggs Benedict snob. I came at 10 am and was seated immediately, there was no line. The ambiance is cute coffee shop with a little feel of a diner. Server came right the way and I ordered macchiato coffee and the chorizo eggs Benedict. Coffee came right the way and it was absolutely delicious, great aroma and nice low acidity. The meal came shortly after with potatoes. I asked for extra hollandaise sauce as the chorizo was a little overpowering and I couldn't taste it and I love some good hollandaise. Ok hands down I have to say the hollandaise sauce was amazing. Light and fresh, perfect amount of spiciness and no cheating with flour. If you love eggs Benedict like me, there were 3 choices and if you love chorizo you have to try this ones!

    Kaizen burger

    Do owners know Yelp says it's open in November when Facebook page says closed until March for the season?

    The Jailhouse Cafe is open March to Mid November (depending on weather)

    So it says it is opened at 6:30am on Yelp, does the owners know that because they say they open at 7am.....?

    Yelp seems to have changed the opening time to 7

    BEST FRENCH TOAST I HAVE EVER EATEN??? The service was super friendly!! The place was packed,…read morehowever service was quick and enjoyable. It was a little warm inside but it was also 100' outside.Very reasonable pricing, especially for a "Tourist Town". They are only open until 2pm SO GET THERE EARLY AND ENJOY!! WE WILL BE BACK!!

    My wife and I stopped in on our from visiting our son in Durango to our home in the greater Boise,…read moreID, area. I chose it based on the good reviews. The restaurant is located right on the main drag of Moab. It is next to a hotel. The curb appeal is definitely of a family diner. It is very popular. On a Monday morning, it was very crowded. The parking lot isn't that big but there is additional parking on the street. When you enter, there is a room on the right and another on the left. The vibe is southwest. Despite being crowded, we were sat right away an at a table by the window, no less. Our server was a nice young woman; I'm sorry, I didn't get her name. She did an excellent job of taking care of us. My wife had a standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, and hash browns. I had a breakfast bowl, a unique blend of eggs, meat, hash browns, and spinach. Very flavorful and with good texture. We would definitely consider making this a regular stop on our future trips to see our son.
