The former location of Smithy's Golden Steakhouse is now occupied by the Moab Grill. Open daily from 6am to 10pm, this new restaurant offers an extensive breakfast, lunch and dinner menu; comfort food diner meets grill with fine flavor. Acting as consultants for the Grill are Scott and Alexa Laws, the former owners of the Lamplight Restaurant of Monticello, Utah. Three of us went there for dinner (specials featured every night), were greeted immediately by the hostess, seated and introduced to our waiter, John. We started off the meal with Roasted Potato Skins appetizer; sadly, it was a disappointing start to our meal. While there was a definite taste of potato and green onion, the flavors of bacon and cheese were completely lost. Not even the addition of salt and sour cream gave any improvement to this appetizer. Meals come with a choice of cup of soup, side salad or fries. On Fridays, New England Clam Chowder is the soup of the day. While nicely seasoned, loaded with clams and potatoes, the soup itself was very thin. Alexa, however, noticed this quickly and remarked that it was thicker and that the cook must have thinned it out. She was going to make sure it was done properly from now on. My husband's side salad was larger than the usual side salads in most restaurants; leafy greens with slices of red onion and tomato; very fresh tasting. The Buffalo Ribeye was perfectly cooked and well seasoned; the yam came with a delicious cinnamon butter which was absolutely delicious also with the side of Texas toast. The macaroni and cheese was gooey with several cheeses, however needed a little more salt and some black pepper for flavoring. The Roast Turkey platter was thinly sliced REAL roasted turkey, not that cold cut mess many restaurants serve. The gravy was rich with turkey flavor, mashed potatoes creamy and smooth and the Mexicali corn was a vibrant touch. The Patty Melt is a classic with a medium cooked burger, grilled onions, Swiss cheese on Texas Toast. The side chosen was thick, skin on, fries, just crisped on the outside and deliciously fluffy on the inside. Although we were comfortable after our meal, we could not resist taking home a slice of Alexa's Chocolate Cake. $8.95 might sound pricey, but the slice of cake is huge, equaling two slices anywhere else. Alexa's cake is the same that she was famous for at the Lamplight; and if you're looking for a cake for a special occasion, or just to splurge on, consider getting one of these. We would definitely give Moab Grill another go; especially breakfast where we have heard they make a killer French Toast coated with crushed frosted flakes. With the Laws as consultants, and if the owners seriously listen to them, this could become one of the bright spots in Moab. read more

Zero star Does not follow COVID19 guidelines. Not once but twice I witnessed 2 different waitresses touch and rearrange food on the plate with there bare hands. One platinum blonde waitress did not wear her mask and yelled over the food for additional sides. Come on ppl! This is how viruses spread. They did not enforce ppl wearing masks Worst customer service. I not only did I have to ask to be seated, I had to ask for a menu, silver and water. My glass for water was dirty, it had lipstick imprints. After waiting 30 mins and noticedna man that came in 15mins after us had his food already, it was then we decided to leave. If you like to be ignored and want to catch COVID19 then this place is for you. I do not recommend coming here , even though we had coupon vouchers from Gonzo inn. read more

It's a nice grill place. We bumped in bc we drove by and saw the nice atmosphere in there, so decided to give it a try. When we walked in, there's live music and the guy knows his business well and we like his music and singing. For food, the garlic chicken wing is yummy with all the garlic flavor. New York strip is nice tasting and recommending that. I ordered the slow roast which is not that impressive. The meat is dry and tasteless for me, with mashed potato and corns. And its fun on the menu it says it's Utah law to serve food with alcohol:p read more

We stopped at this restaurant while traveling through town and honestly, we should have just gone to Wendy's. The place was nearly empty (assuming that's mostly due to COVID), but we were over charged for multiple things on our tab and our server was hardly seen the entire hour we were there. read more

This place charges a $3 to-go fee. I asked if they were aware of the pandemic and they seemed to be - requiring masks and all. Talk about hitting folks while they're down. Never seen such opportunistic gouging. Easy 1-star. They should be ashamed of themselves! read more

One of the few places open at 8:30 pm on a holiday Monday. Looked inviting, kinda busy. Was promptly greeted, brought to a booth where i was brought some water...then forgotten. Admittedly, there was a tour bus full of French people scattered throughout the establishment trying to get dessert and settle bills. I respect that my server copped to it, then more than made up for it by giving me three sides instead of the usual two. Started with a white bean and bacon soup that went a long way toward warding off the chill that came with nightfall. The ribeye was perfect: flavorful, yummy. The roast potatoes: meh, dry, I could see it was seasoned, but couldn't taste it. The seasonal vegetables were good. What I really appreciated abt this place was the teamwork. I see where many yelpers report poor service, and when I was forgotten, I thought, "oh boy, here we go" but once I popped back on the the communal register, it seems everyone working the floor came by to make sure I was good. An Asian lady, Evelyn, was working tables around me and Demaine(?) was clearing tables; everyone was great checking in, refilling carafes of both watermelon tea and the water. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will likely swing by next time I'm in town, see if we can't bump up the rating read more

So there were some good things and some not-so-good things. I tried the half rack ribs plate. It was cooked well and fell off the bone but otherwise nothing else really stood out to me. The beans, which I had to order because they were out of coleslaw, did not taste made in-house. Def canned. The side salad was good too, but again I asked for Cesar and had to settle with Italian because they were out of Cesar. Being "out of stuff" came up a few more times throughout the evening. Sigh! I give 2 stars for a general lack of passion. Was hoping for a grill house but stumbled upon a griddle shack instead (a diner in disguis). read more

I've avoided for the last year because I was extremely disappointed with my last experience. After today's permanently off my list. placed an order for pick-up only to learn once I'd returned home that I didn't have my appetizer I ordered but one of my sides were not there and my partner got a blt but the bacon was halfway raw. read more

The quality of the food was solid and satisfying. The onion basket was delicious. My crispy bacon cheeseburger was almost perfect. The angus beef patty was awesome! My wife ordered the turkey dinner and she enjoyed it very much. The dinner was topped off with peach cobbler topped off with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream that was amazing! We will definitely be coming back! read more

Sunday... Big Game was on and place looked like it was about to close, but once we walked in we were greeted warmly by staff and were sat down to watch the halftime show and some of the 3rd quarter. Tried the pastrami sandwich that had thick pastrami and a fried egg, I am not a big egg person on sandwichs but complements to the cook, sandwich was so good. Garlic wings were nice, garlic big time and nicely fried. Mozzarella Sticks were good, the sauce was typical. read more

Moab Grill - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

We had breakfast here twice -- once because it's connected to our motel so it's super convenient, and once because we tried other places but they were either closed or seriously packed on a Sunday morning. (We sent back to the motel out of frustration and decided to go here again even though it had been totally mediocre the day before.) Both times, the food was "meh." It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Hash browns lacked flavor and the meats were really greasy. Pancakes and French toast were decent but nothing special. The coffee was bad the first time and TERRIBLE the second time. The tropical fruit bowl is canned fruit, which isn't surprising given the price. Still, I'm glad the waitress told me when I tried to order it -- that info changed my mind and saved me some disappointment. The service was better the first time than the second, but we waited waaaaay too long for initial waitress contact both times. read more

This restaurant is awesome, great food and great service would recommend 10/10! Good on the prices and food came out fast!

Don't let the building fool you. I had shrimp with a basil cream sauce on penne pasta. The pasta is made locally. My dinner was excellent. My friend had the chicken and broccoli pasta which was also excellent. The service was good, the place was clean and reasonably priced. read more

This place is extremely busy, no wonder, food is delicious! My husband had fish and chips, his favorite, and declares that they are the absolute best, not any grease at all. I had the fish tacos which were fabulous and we are both too full for dessert. We will come here again when we next visit Moab read more

The best Mesquite Grilled Chicken sandwich ever! The chunky curly fries were great too!

Super mediocre food, long wait, indifferent service. What else can I say? The Good: I ordered a chicken breast sandwich that was tasty, juicy, and served on a crunchy grilled bun. Fries would've been good if they had been more than somewhat warm. The Bad: we waited a very long time for the food, and at no point did our server come by to refill drinks or anything. He also only came back a couple of times to refill drinks but never asked how things were. It's almost like he knew not to ask.... The Ugly: my wife's fried chicken was overcooked, the mashed potatoes were instant, and my daughter's steak was chewy. If we'd been paying diner prices that would be one thing, but $25 for an overcooked steak is a bit much. We wanted a decent place to eat that wouldn't break the bank, and this wasn't it. My suggestion: keep looking and pass this place over. read more

Overprice, boring food. We came here after a day of hiking and were ready to eat some good food. I ended up ordering the green chilli burger and the soup. The soup came out quick and was the highlight of the meal. After a very long time the rest of the food came out. The fries were very cold and the burger was overcooked. The bun was hard. Overall the service was bad. It was just a disappointing dinner after a long day of hiking, I won't be going back. For what it's worth, my friends did like the chicken fried steak. read more

Got in and we're served. Staff is friendly Attentive with easy Diner style atmosphere. Food is ok. About like cafeteria food. But plenty of it. Good comfort food! read more

I had the grilled salmon, baked yam with brown sugar butter and mixed veggies. Everything was very good. The yam could have been cooked a little more but everything was delish. My husband had the pot roast dinner with mashed potatoes and southwestern corn. He said the pot roast and potatoes were great but he wasn't crazy about the red peppers in the corn. We also had an order of onion rings to start with. They were very good, crispy and not greasy, but we didn't get many for the money. The service was spot on and very friendly. Unfortunately the atmosphere was very "Dennys" like. read more

Moab Grill - Super fozen mug with a yummy Dos Equis! - American Near Me - Moab, Utah

We stopped by this place after a long dat of visiting national parks. We had the Cobb salad and BBQ chicken pizza. The food was good and our server Jauna was amazing. Loved her energy, positive attitude and great sense of humor. read more

Food was not good! Looking at these other reviews makes me wonder what people eat. Our server Mertcan and the bus-boy seemed to be the only two working. While they ran around a lady who appeared to be the GM just stood watching or wiped down the same counter over and over and the hostess just kept seating more tables instead helping out and catching up! The only reason we stayed was because every other place had an hour or more wait (we now see why). For the price we paid for a turkey sandwich and half rack of ribs; the food should have been on point if the service wasn't. This place should be called Moab Diner and not the Moab Grill because that's the quality of food they're serving. Mertcan deserves a raise! read more

Dinner, had the 3 piece fried chicken which was good, but largest piece, the breast was cold, picked at it pretending I was on a picnic. Took forever to get bill. Long evening read more

New management has done this place well. I once said it was gross but the new menu had great food and delicious pizza! Definitely would come back read more

Stayed in Moab 4 nights and ate here three times. The porterhouse pork chop is wonderful. Everything the three of us ordered was great, did I mention the Philly cheesesteak, could only eat half of it, was even good reheated for dinner! Great value! read more

Wait staff was very friendly and prompt. But the food was terrible. I made the mistake of ordering the Brussels sprout salad. It was Frozen sautéed Brussel sprouts on top of their chef salad I love fresh brussel sprouts any way they are cooked but these were terrible. My husband had a stuffed burger. He said the meat tasted like two pre-cooked patties charred yesterday with cheese put in the middle and warmed up. He said he's had much better burgers at Wendy's. Plus the fries were cold. read more

Ordered the Huevos Rancheros and would recommend they take it off the menu. Would only recommend breakfast here if you have an hour and a half and you are okay with subpar food. People were nice but not particularly attentive. read more

We decided to give this place a try and were pleasantly surprised. We had the pot roast, mashed potatoes and corn as well as the chicken fried steak. The menu is not overly fancy but it's definitely a nice spot for good home cooking. The portion sizes are good. There is a wide selection on the menu at a fair price. read more

I had the spinach lasagna and enjoyed it very much. The young lady who served me was very attentive, despite her boyfriend being there and it being Valentine's Day. Overall, I had a pleasant meal. There may have been a few issues in the past, but I think they deserve a higher rating than they have. read more

Nice server and the place seems clean enough but the food quality/taste is sub-par or either we ordered the wrong items. I had the rib-eye which was $25 and I definitely would never recommend this to anyone. It just tasted bad and not very well cooked. My wife had a steak salad which she wouldn't finish then we had 2 kids meals and 1 beer on this ticket. The total with a 15% tip was $92, yep $92 for a diner meal. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Part of the dinning review of Moab, UT. The service was friendly and ok. Although my server gave me the wrong food. The food: I ordered a cheeseburger to be safe. The meat was fresh, good and flavorful. The bun was cold and not seasoned. The burger is served dry with only mustard and ketchup to help. The mustard bottle was crusted over so I didn't use it. I ate a dry burger. They should have served mayo, thousand island in the side. The fries are the frozen kind but good tasting. No seasoning but it's a good fry. The salad look good but only green leaf lettuce, a poor choice. The cucumber and veggies were fresh. It would have been a great salad if they used more than green leaf. Overall it was an average place. There was a lot other chooses in town so I did not back. read more

Traveling for 4 days and this is the first time I feel like eating something real and enjoyable! Very delicious food and they give you a lot of food! read more

Slow service. Lots of people working, and yet my coffee stayed empty and our food took forever. We ordered simple things - toast, cold cereal, granola, scrambled eggs. Why did it take so long? Food was below average. Coffee was erratic between too strong and too weak. Forgotten yogurt took 10 minutes to correct. For pete's sake, there are empty tables and people standing around! Why so slow? What tipped me over the edge is there was no attempt to explain or apologize. ℓ Butt in a bright side it was $15 for three of us. read more

The food was average. The service not good. Not very friendly and waited 10 minutes just get our drinks after being seated. Definitely displeased read more

If you're looking for the quaint small town experience w/o all the pretentious tourist hype - this is your spot. Fast and friendly service, good food + a refreshing beer after a long week of canyoneeing - this is now "our spot" read more

The food here was average. The waitress was a bit rude when we asked to be seated elsewhere as there was a family with little ones and we wanted to have a more quieter and relaxing dinner. After we expressed our gratitude for letting us sit where we wanted, she fixed her attitude and our dinner was a bit more pleasant. The salmon was excellent so I suggest trying it. read more

The staff was very friendly, unfortunately the food was not very good. All of our meals were luke warm and the steak was tough

My roommate and I stoped here on a spur of the moment trip to Utah! Great little diner, small town feel, with great food that is delicious in a way of its own! I had the grill skillet and it was delicious, right amount of garlic and pepper, the ranch potatoes were so so, couldn't really tell they were ranch unless you were looking for it! read more

Went for dinner and had the prime rib special. It had a lot of fat and gristle so was overpriced for what you get. I would not go back.

Not impressed by the service here. I wasn't sure what to expect based off of the reviews on here, but my boyfriend and I just felt like we were an inconvenience the whole time. The food was fine, fairly normal diner stuff. We ordered an appetizer, it was brought with the dinner. What's the point of that? We ran out of water in our jug they placed on the table, asked for more, and the lady was so put out. Two staff were at the cash register the entire time, and they didn't really greet anyone coming in or out. No one checked on us after we received our food to make sure it was alright. Just missing all of the courtesies one would expect when eating out. read more
