    Pretty much the only place to eat other than the Rock Garden. We ordered chips and salsa and the mushroom starter which were both very good. Canned beer was refreshing after a long Capitol Gorge Trail hike. Got two tomato bisque soups which were also great and the kids enjoyed their kids burger and fries. My husband enjoyed the trout and I ordered the ribeye medium rare. It came out well done and our waitress was really excellent in taking it back to the kitchen and they brought out a rare steak which was delicious and not over cooked. I appreciated

    I would give this restaurant 0 star if I can! Definitely the worst dining experience I had in the entire U.S.! They didn't use good food material to prepare the food, the iron steak tasted no flavor no juice at all, super dry even we requested medium rare! The beef rib also no flavor at all! The trout taste like steam the frozen fish and then grill it, also smell a little bit fishy! The service is super slow, it takes them literally 45 minutes to put our food on the table after we ordered the food! I understand it's holiday season, and they probably short of staff, but if you have no service at all, why you automatically add 18% tip to the bill?! I'm happy to add 20% tips for holiday if their service is ok. BUT NO SERVICE, WHY TIPS?! No matter the service or food, the worst!!!

    We went here for dinner last night had the smoked trout dip and orange peel trout. Others had the chicken pot pie. Everything was good

    Flan dessert, I enjoyed it!

    I have mixed feelings, on one side, there's not much choice around here, and this place delivers ok food, but on the other side I can't lie and I've got to be honest and score it how I felt in the moment, thus only 3*. The ribeye steak was very good, but it came out very rare, almost raw, while we asked for medium rare. The accompanying mushrooms were very good. The Philly cheesesteak was really not good, you might argue (rightly so) that we shouldn't have ordered it, but hey, it was in the menu. I did not have high expectations, but it somehow managed to go below them... the kids burger was ok. The chips and salsa were outstanding, very fresh and delicious. The flan dessert was ok, very compact and "rough" custard, but I enjoyed it. If the ribeye steak was cooked properly, this would probably be a 4* review.

    My family and I stayed at the Capitol Reef Resort, with this restaurant being close by, we thought we would pop in for dinner. The service was excellent and fast. Our server was amazing and gave us some good tips for our drive the next day. The food was so delicious! My sister ordered the steak, and we both agreed that it was one of the best we've ever had. We even came back for breakfast the next morning which was just as good! I ordered the Pioneer Breakfast! Highly recommend if you're passing through or staying!

    Pioneer Kitchen is the onsite restaurant inside Capital Reef Resort. There were other options nearby including a food truck, BBQ & pizza across the street, etc but for the convenience we ate here for dinner. I ordered the Tomato soup (soup of the day) and Orange Peel Trout and the Rancher's Beef Burger. The food was decent and not bad at all (the "Resort" itself was horrendous, do not stay there). The service was quick & efficient. We got in and out quickly. Nothing fancy here but not a bad place to have a meal in the middle of the Utah desert.

    Chicken pot pie

    One of the only place to eat in town. The other option is a pizzeria across the street. We really liked their chicken pot pie

    California Omelette
    Mikey Y.

    Relatively quick, tasty and affordable. The picture is of their California Omelette which was pretty good and includes toast and fruit. I had the bacon cheddar the day before which was also decent. If you're in a rush though make sure to get their early. The food comes quick once you've ordered but the day before was busy so it took a while before we were able to order the food.

    Great little breakfast place at the hotel outside of capitol reef park. Fresh, fast server breakfast for our family, including the 3x pioneer breakfast and pancake, other than the hush brown which were less tasty rest was made really well, and friendly service, worth stopping by!
