Fantastic spot to grab breakfast while in Moab. Went twice on this trip! The chorizo scramble is awesome and the staff of very friendly!

I referred their 'famous' eggs Benedict and it was just okay. As well as the potatoes served with it. My husband liked his whole grain waffle and rated it a 3 as well read more

Food was very good and the hostess was very nice. The staff overall was very nice however our server was very short and not that friendly. I would still go back and hope we get a different server. read more

Excellent little breakfast spot! I liked everything about it. I had a bacon/cheddar cheese omelette, and it was cooked perfectly. I also had a ginger pancake and it too was good. I noticed several other dishes from the tables around me and everything looked delicious. This is a very popular place, but they serve you quickly so the wait shouldn't be long. I would highly recommend it and would certainly go back if I'm ever in the area. read more

Its definitely touristy but it's simple fare in a relaxed environment. I will certainly keep it in mind for my next trip to Moab read more

They've been here for 27 years. I need to let that sink in. That's a long time. They were certainly one of the early places as the world of Mountain Bikers and what we'd tend to call hipster food came to Moab. As a guy whose been coming here since the 60's they still seem kind of new to me. I used to always come for jeep Safari in the 80's, and personal jeep and hiking trips through the 70's and 80's, this place never existed. I remember how much I liked it when they opened. About the only thing that's changed is the significantly expanded space and the crowds of people. They menu feels the same, and these days the menu is mainstream with a few hooks rather than way out there like it did when it opened. That and they are no longer open in the Winter. There were times when they were one of the only places of quality open in the Winter. The ingredients are better than the national chains. They quality of cooking and presentation much better as well. I was here with the wife, son, and daughter in law. We were passing through on our way home. It was a wonderful break. The orange juice excellent. The coffee good enough to drink black. If it's sour or bitter I'll cover it up with cream and sugar. That's not needed here. I'll admit to being a purest on the eggs benedict, but the southwest flavor add is pretty good too. The swedish pancakes with lingonberry are excellent. The bacon perfect. I just went with the traditional breakfast and left very happy. There's not many places with this kind of longevity, and it's more popular today than it's ever been. There's a reason. The food, atmosphere, and servers justify it. read more

This is a great breakfast place. We sat outside on the heated patio. It was 35 degrees outside but the patio was toasty warm. Our server was great. She was super busy but handled it well. I had the jailhouse scramble. Delicious! It seemed relatively healthy, not greasy at all. I loved the potatoes mixed into the scramble. read more

This place is a great spot for breakfast! We came here one morning, early (yay they open at 7am) before a day of hiking! We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of the menu, without being overwhelmed by too many options. We opted for a sweet-and-salty combo, sharing the chorizo scramble and the Swedish pancakes with Lingonberries. The Chorizo scramble was really yummy, similar to a huevos rancheros, but with a decided kick at the end! The pancakes were surprisingly delightful, not too sweet, and super satisfying! The coffee was good, and our server was prompt on filling up our glasses when we drank it half-way. The atmosphere was cute - we sat outside, and the chill of the morning, combined with the heat lamp was perfection! Locations is ideal, right across from our hotel and on Main Street by all the other shops/restaurants. If you're here I would strongly recommend breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe! Service was SUPER quick too, so if you're in a rush it's NO problem! read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I can't say better things about the jailhouse cafe! My wife and I had the roasted red pepper,tomato, mozzarella, and pesto omelet and the waffles, both were amazing. While Moab may be be a tourist town, this cafe truly gave the local mom and pop shop vibe. Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast if you're in town. read more

Nothing tastes better than a delicious breakfast after a sunrise hike and Jailhouse Cafe definitely delivered. The chorizo benedict and chorizo scramble were both great, as was the ginger pancakes with apple butter! Yum! read more

This is a great lunch place in Moab! We were seated immediately, and the waitress immediately took our drink orders. Since we were hungry and tired from our morning hike, coffee was a necessity. We were given unlimited refills! The breakfast was cooked to perfection. My friend and I split the Swedish Pancakes and Chorizo Scramble. Both excellent. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious! We ordered the ginger spiced pancakes with apple butter, the soul bacon and the chorizo scramble and all of them were outstanding. Not to mention the service was VERY prompt and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the warm, friendly service and of course, the food was delicious! My friend wanted to avoid meat/ eggs on this day and was offered a completely off the menu dish, this was truly a wonderful gesture. Plus, the impromptu dish was delicious and didn't feel like it was made up on the spot! Will definitely come back if I'm in Moab again. read more

Jailhouse Cafe - Spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese omelet. Yummm!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Moab, Utah

Cute place. Small but had some nice outdoor covered dining areas. We were inside. Many choices of eggs benedict so of course spot on on the cook on that. Coffee was good. Don't ask for sourdough. They only have wheat which was funny. read more

My coffee was always full. My plate came very full, and I left with a full belly. Wish I had known the omelette came with potatoes and toast (I can't eat either). Bacon was so thick, so freakin' good. Kids Mickey Mouse pancakes were huge and the kids loved them. Prices were fair. Solid 4 stars. read more

Food was fast and delish! Our waitress, Samantha, was quick, kind and professional. We all ate every bite. Highly recommend the eggs Benedict mexicana!! read more

Menu isn't the biggest. The food on the small menu is very good tho. Pancakes eggs omelets and the bacon

LOVED THIS PLACE! We went on a Thursday morning around 10AM and were seated right away. I ordered coffee and the walnut waffles which were fantastic and the perfect fuel for a day of hiking. The service here was quite possibly the best I've ever experienced! The staff here work so hard. Our waitress was charming and the other staff were constantly monitoring our coffee and water levels, always ready to refill. There were probably 6 people working in our section always refilling, cleaning, taking dishes, and asking us if we needed anything. If you're looking for the perfect breakfast in Moab, go here! read more

The 4- and 5-star reviews are very generous as I don't think the quality or value of the food at this establishment merits such a high rating. Don't get me wrong, should you order breakfast here, it will be fine -- just not great. I ordered the Jailhouse Chorizo Scramble ($10.85) which comes with 3 eggs lightly scrambled, homefries, chorizo, and 3 soft white corn tortillas. Additionally sour cream and fresh salsa were served on the side. The flavors were fine, but the dish was a bit heavy. In fact, it left me with a bit of indigestion for the remainder of the afternoon when I was hiking. This was unfortunate. The soda I ordered arrived in a can along side a glass full of ice. For $1.95, that was disappointing. I was surprised by the fairly high prices for the area given that the quality of the food was only marginally better than a run-of-the-mill diner. I was also surprised that their bacon was inspired by the bacon at the Pink Teacup in Greenwich Village. I sensibly opted out of that selection so that I could have the real thing at a later date. If you are going to charge Manhattan prices and talk about Manhattan influence on your menu, you need to deliver Manhattan quality. read more

Super delicious and comfy breakfast/brunch in town. A bit pricey but for tourist spot it's normal. I just with the portion can be slightly bigger. Vegetarian options are available. This is the biggest plus for me and my wife =). And I also wish they can extend the hours of operation til 2 pm for some HANGRY hikers came back from the early morning hike at Arches NP. read more

I'm really surprised at the ratings this place has. I came here after a long hike to Delicate Arch. I was in the mood for something really tasty considering my big appetite after the hike. First I noticed that the prices here were slightly higher than most the places we had been eating at in Utah. I figured it must be better quality. I had the eggs florentine which I was pretty excited about. However, when the food came out, I was so disappointed. The eggs florentine were so bland. I had to add salt to my meal which I never do. The side potatoes came out cold and tasted like they were deep fried in vegetable oil that had been in the fryer for days. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place to anyone passing though. read more

Very tasty! The Benedict's were very tasty. Loved the ginger pancakes. We ate there every morning we were in Moab.

1) The only reason it's not 5 stars is the pricing: almost every dish is $11, and although filling and quite good, it didn't blow my socks off, nor were the ingredients listed as notable (e.g. local, organic, etc.) 2) Great service and nice atmosphere: the waitress was friendly, attentive, and quick, and the outdoor AM seating was beautiful 3) great bacon (a little spendy at $4 for 3 pieces, but yeah, they're darn good if you've got some extra green....second only in flavor to some maple bacon I had in Portland) 4) The greek omlette (feta, spinach, olives) and chorizzo scramble were both very respectable with good flavors that filled me up and didn't disappoint! Overall, if you can spent $11+tax/tip on a breakfast, give this place a try, but otherwise you might want to try a more affordable breakfast joint. read more

The people here were amazing and had given great service. The food was oh so delicious. And the atmosphere in the building was amazing.

We stopped here for brunch.. We ordered ginger bread pancake and red pepper omlette. The food was good but the coffee cups smelled bad as they were not washed properly and pretty much used. They need to change their silver ware and coffee cups.. read more

Great breakfast featuring exceptional bacon. Quaint atmosphere. Right in the heart of town.

Was looking forward to this place all weekend so we saved it for our last meal here in moab. What a big disappointment! Our lesson this weekend is that Moab is extremely beautiful yet the food does not match up. Upon walking in. The hostess was extremely rude. If I could rate her individually she gets a negative 1000. In the first minute we were there, she called a party in for seating yet half was in the front because the waiting area is pretty small. Probably fits 10 people at most. Since half of their party was in the front she made them sit back down until the rest walked up 10 feet and it took her 5 mins to come back and seated them after we put our names down. Because that party was still in the waiting room, we had no where to stand and found an open spot where she told us to move out of the way 3 times! After 20mins of waiting, she mistaken where our table was and led us to the two patios outside then disappeared inside the restaurant and was just waiting for us to follow her. This was only the beginning. Food. Took longer than the wait to get seated. 20-30mins I just came here for the multi grain waffles since I saw it on yelp prior. However 10.95 for the waffle and some fruit. The bananas have been precut and sat out since you can tell it was slimey. The blueberries were a little old, started to wrinkle. The other people in my party ordered the chorizo scramble, chorizo benedict, the classic scrambled with sausage on the side, and two orders of bacon. The bacon comes with 4 each and yet ours were burnt. Ask them to replace it and they were still charred. The chorizo was mush, not crispy how it should be. The poached egg on the other hand was probably the only thing that was cooked right. The potatoes were all mush. The classic looked so disappointing. 7.75 for scrambled eggs that did not look fresh and fluffy and for potatoes that were cut really small so some were burnt. And the sausage on top was just a party for $4. Everything was blah. I did like my waffles but I felt bad for everyone else's food cause it was not good. Jail food probably taste better than what they served here at jailhouse cafe.. big disappointment and rude waitress. read more

Food, ambience, and service were great! We had Latin egg burrito, ginger salad pancakes, American breakfast, coffee, and OJ. Delicious!

Great breakfast, I had the Swedish pancakes and my husband had the eggs Benedict, both yummy. The seating is in covered and heated patios, if in The Fall or Winter still dress warmly. Service was excellent and on a Thursday at the end of October around 9 we had no wait. read more

Beat breakfast I had during my stay in Moab. The place only serves breakfast. Had an excellent waitress who was cheerful, fast and efficient. Coffee was good. I had their version of eggs Benedict and breakfast potatoes. Their twist on hollandaise sauce was excellent! Will definitely return. read more

Delightful. Fast and friendly service. I loved the vibe and food so much, I ended up going here every morning I had in Moab. Each time I got the same thing: Coffee, 2 eggs, hash browns, sausage patties, wheat toast (*requested toasted darker and actually toasted darker - which is rare!) And then, I got one single pancake on the side. My waitress for 2 of the 3 visits - I wish I knew her name - was a bright ray of sunshine! Go here. It's super-duper. The End. read more

So very pleased with our breakfast here on our last day in Moab. Great service. Delicious meal...had the scramble and was able to sub out the mushrooms for spinach. My husband had an omelette and enjoyed it as well. Jailhouse Cafe is right across the street from our hotel and so very convenient. I think what I liked most was the coffee kept coming and everything tasted great. Would definitely return on our next trip to Moab. read more

This place is yummy, sweet, and in a great location. The seating room we were in was small but I liked it and felt almost like I was in a house. Everyone was really friendly. The Swedish pancake was so yummy and light and delicious. And it comes with a raspberry jam that compliments it well. My boyfriend ordered the Southwestern Eggs Benedict that had a nice bite to it, and the waitress was really good about refilling our coffee. Yay! read more

My husband and I tried to come here on a Monday morning, but it was very full so we opted for take out. My husband got the chorizo scramble, and I got the Mexicana eggs benedict. We both loved our meals. The chorizo was excellent, with just a bit of a kick, and the eggs benedict was one of the best I've ever had. My only complaint is that there is no semblance of social distancing there, and I think that's very important right now. If you can get it to go, I absolutely recommend it. read more

When I was in Moab, on my last day before heading back out on the road, I stopped with my friend who is a local saying we need to try this place and the wait would be worth it. (It was Memorial Day, so it was understandably busy.) We put our name down and waited in the very nice waiting area outside that had a large tree and plenty of shade. One of the great things about this place is that it is JUST a breakfast place and like they say in the menu, "Why do something we're not good at?" And they really do it well. The food was awesome and the menu is super simplistic. I am boring and got buttermilk pancakes, but boy were they great. I also got sausage patties in leau of bacon because they won't let you order it as a side which will never stop baffeling me. They were just okay, basically the same kinds that you would get anywhere. One last thing was that there were blood spots on my napkin and I had to ask for a few one, a little worrying, but no big deal as they promptly replaced the napkin and the silverware. read more
