Good, affordable meal in Moab. lots of burger and shake options including vegetarian options. Outdoor seating available.

Bacon Cheeseburger

The food was incredible!!! Staff was fun and friendly! The peanut butter shake was 100/10!!!! Sooooo yummy!

Bacon Cheeseburger
Brandi H.

My friends and I wanted a quick lunch after a morning of outdoor activities. This was an option and since it seemed like a beloved staple in Moab, we had to try it. It is a little burger spot with a few benches and a parking lot. Bacon cheeseburger (4.5/5): Can't go wrong with a bacon cheeseburger. It was your classic burger with lettuce, onion, pickle, and mustard. However, I was surprised at how much mustard was on it. The patty was tender and bread was fluffy. Pesto cheese fries (4/5): I saw this on the menu and was so intrigued. I've never had something like it so why not order it. It was literally wedge potatoes topped with pesto and melted slices of cheese. Surprisingly, it worked. It felt like I was eating pasta. This was a great lunch spot. It is in an unassuming, quiet area just off the main street of Moab. Food was good and the price was good.

Pesto Cheese Fries and Pumpkin and Malt Powder Milkshake.

Milt's is a local gem that you can NOT miss on your trip to Moab. We were here less than a week and came here two of the days, we couldn't help but come back after the first time. This place has been around for decades and is the perfect walk up window with a variety of very affordable, quality fast food options. It's clearly a staple among both locals and tourists, with a pet friendly patio with shade and lots of space and plenty of parking. It's a little out of the main part of town but definitely worth meandering over. I got a milkshake ($4 for small, $6 for large) and the pesto cheese fries ($5) with their fry sauce both times and was impressed with the quality for the price. I don't think I've seen a milkshake this cheap anywhere and they have over a dozen flavors you can choose from, up to 2 in any shake with no extra charge. As much as I loved this place, I will say that they were a bit slow with getting the food out and some people ended up waiting a lot longer than others. They also skimped on the pesto on my fries (there was almost none) but they were more than happy to add more for me when I asked at the window, which is also where you can ask for their special fry sauce that you don't want to miss.

Food is fresh, and delicious! Local owner and operated. Our family favorite stop. Best value, lots of chicken for $7, lots of tots for $5.

My ground beef tacos!

Delicious! Everyone comes and has a meal and shake here! Unique sandwiches and hamburgers. The fries are the best!you won't be disappointed.

On their website, Milt's Stop & Eat proudly declares that they partner with local food producers, and that their burgers are fresh ground and grass fed. We certainly weren't expecting a classic burger joint like this in a small tourist town! Bacon Cheeseburger ($7) - Very messy burger here. A ton of ketchup and mustard spread on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce and onion, and a small mountain of what seem to be homemade pickles. The pickles are not sliced consistently, so some pieces are paper thin, while others are over a quarter inch. They are crunchy and have an especially strong tang, which, when combined with the acidic condiments, makes each bite have a sourness that overpowers all the other flavors in the burger. I'd almost suggest to eat the burger upside down to allow the cheese and meat to hit the tongue before all the acid. With the meat - the patty is pretty generously sized but doesn't seem to be charred all that much, making the patty a bit anemic. I didn't get a lot of beefy flavor, but this may be due to the grass-fed nature of the beef. There's a slice of American cheese on top, which is only melted in the center, leaving the edges and corners still in original form. I honestly couldn't say how much bacon there is included - these are very thinly sliced and reminded me of the fully cooked microwavable bacon. They completely get lost in the burger and I actually regret getting the bacon cheeseburger over the normal cheeseburger. Everything is on a soft and pliable bun, toasted on the griddle. If I get a burger at Milt's again, I would probably ask to either omit the pickles or ask for them on the side. They are way too powerful for the sandwich. (3/5) Fries ($3) - Served piping hot directly from the fryer. They pump these out continuously and don't drain them all that well, resulting in a layer of oil on the bottom of the paper serving boat that soaks into the bottom most fries. Otherwise, the fries on top aren't soggy at all and have a light crisp on the outside combined with a fluffy inside. They are interestingly shaped into potato dippers, which isn't seen too often. They are lightly salted and generally delicious. They look homemade given the size differences between the dippers, but could also be Lamb-Weston given how nicely crisp they are. (4/5) Pesto Cheese Fries ($5) - These are the same fries as above but layered with cheese and pesto. The cheese is generously applied, but is melted together into a tight matrix that hardens up almost like glue. The pesto works well with the fries and cheese. Unlike the regular order of fries, the pesto fries aren't crisp at all and instead fully fluffy like they've been steamed. The cheese is a little suspicious with how well it's melted without any browning - a peek behind the counter shows some microwave action. Regardless of cook method, it's still tasty. (4/5) Milkshake, Large, Malt Powder + Oreo ($6) - This shake starts super thick when it first comes out and can't really be sucked up through the straw. After letting it sit for 5 or 10 minutes, it started getting soft enough to drink. It's a pretty classic milkshake, pretty solid overall. The oreo is well distributed, but I couldn't really detect any malt for the first half of the shake. The malt starts getting more and more concentrated as the liquid level goes down. That's because the powder actually isn't dispersed well in the milkshake at all - instead it all settles on the bottom into a large glob and isn't blended in at all into the ice cream. I probably wouldn't get the malt again, but I would the oreo for sure! (4/5) Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back behind the building I visited again a couple of days later for more: Cheeseburger ($6) - Milt's is very inconsistent with their burgers. I guess it depends on who is the grill master at the time. Unlike the burger the other day, this one only includes a couple of pickle slices and has a distinct lack of mustard and ketchup on the bottom, making the burger overall a little dry. This one is completely on the opposite spectrum as the previous burger in terms of moisture. Still, due to the lack of overpowering acidity, it's a bit more pleasing to eat. (4/5) Fries ($3) - This time, the fries are drained well with no oil puddle soaking on the bottom of the tray. (5/5) Bowl of Chili ($5) - I believe this chili is made in house with the leftover burgers and brisket, both of which are mixed into the chili in pretty generous amounts. In addition to the meat, there are tender pinto beans, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. They give the option to add diced onion and cheese on top. This chili tastes like a classic chili and is delicious, not overly salted. It's chock full of ingredients, probably more solid than liquid. (4/5) Milt's is a very solid burger joint, although a bit inconsistent. The prices are pretty reasonable, and I'd visit again in a heartbeat whenever I'm in Moab.

Veggie patty melt with fries
Katie A.

I was solo traveling through Moab this summer, and this was by far my favorite diner and food experience in Moab. I couldn't tell if the gentleman I talked to was the manager or owner, but he was incredibly friendly! We sat and chatted the whole time I was eating and he gave me the scoop on the best of Moab and where to hangout and see while I was in town. It was one of those core memories you make while traveling. I came in for a veggie burger but after chatting I had a veggie patty melt per this nice gentleman's recommendation. It was delicious! I also really loved the fries - I have never had them where they were curled and crispy before. It was a really great place to stop and eat! I would highly recommend!

Outstanding! Burgers were perfect; I had the blue cheese and bacon and she had the bacon with grilled onions. Onion rings were ALL world! Get the thousand island type sauce for dipping.

(Cheeseburger green chili )

Plain and simple it was a delicious burger with green chili, I am from new mexico and we are known for our green chili cheeseburgers. The green chili was mild, but I totally expected that... But man what a delicious burger, the fresh cut fries, wedges, were a pleasant surprise... The staff we're beyond nice and courteous. An awesome throwback to when I was a kid and used to eat it at these little roadside burger places... prices are very reasonable and a pretty good sized menu for a diner of this size. No drive thru you get down and order and either sit outside or in your vehicle, or take it with you.. A must try you will not be disappointed...

The strawberry milkshake is phenomenal!! It is worth the visit alone, although the burgers are delicious as well.

We stopped by after a day of hiking in Arches NP and this hit the spot. You order at the window and everything was ready in 5 minutes. There is seating right outside the restaurant. The elk cheeseburger and fried bacon and egg cheeseburger were both fantastic. The fries were a little bland and the onion rings were crispy but you didn't get a lot. Go for the burgers and milkshakes!

I was shocked this restaurant wasn't more packed. Or we just lucked out on timing. After a 7 hour…read morelong drive I was aching for a hearty meal. BBQ sounded amazing and I've never had a platter like this before. I couldn't turn down the 3 meat platter to try everything that peaked my interest. Starting with the hush puppies, fried, sweet, and savory. Yum! The brisket was so tender and juicy. The ribs were also tender and fell off the bone. The andouille sausage had cheese throughout it and I felt like it was too oily and fatty from that, but that ended up being my husband's favorite. We devoured the sides too. The beans and mac and cheese were a must. If I had more stomach space I'd eat a dozen more hush puppies. Outdoor seating allows your furiends. Order at the counter and enjoy! And don't forget to try their house bbq sauce.

If you want a quick, laid-back meal, this is a great spot…read more Service can be a hit or miss, the girl taking the order wasn't great, but the people who brought out the food and checked in on us were really nice. I really wanted ribs but at 7pm they were all out. Kind of surprising to not be able to get this at a BBQ place but, got the pulled pork meal instead. The pork itself was very well done, and delicious. And really liked that they put all sauces on the side for you to pick and add as much or as little as you want. They have different sides to pick from... mac-n-cheese is usually a must at BBQ restaurants, but I would recommend skipping it here. Not hot, cheesy enough and lacking flavor. The coleslaw, on the other hand, was a great side.

It is a large restaurant on one side a bar and on the other lots of tables for all sized groups. The bacon burger is what you want to order as it is large and tasty! My table mate loved it with the fries! The beer cheese soup is made in house and I had high expectations. But I would only rate it a 2 out of 5. Pizza was a great deal as it was the daily special for only 12$ with one topping and comes with honey. Pretty neat as I had never heard of dipping the thick crust in honey but it was delicious. The place is pretty cool vibe and you can tell they have a lot of regulars! Our waitress spent a ton of time talking to people that have turned into friends that frequently visit and sadly ignored our table most of the evening. It felt like all we did was wait. Drinks were served, then we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to return to take our order. Our food delivered to the table super fast which was unexpected. Then we enjoyed our meal and waited another 20+ minutes for the check. It was ridiculously slow and the restaurant was not crowded. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind chilling for over an hour and a half for a meal, this is the spot!
