As a local, this place checks all the boxes! Everything is proportioned for two meals worth of quality food, without the tourist-trap prices. Located in the convenience store at the end of town, do not expect gas-station ambiance. This is actually a comfortable, casual dining spot with plenty of seating, a plethora of drink options, and something to look at while you wait for your food. The young man at the register is very kind; local or not, everyone who comes in is treated well! Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the mood for an American breakfast or fast Mexican cuisine. read more

It's a cool gas station with a big second floor gift shop. I got a mushroom Swiss burger and it was good, especially for a cheaper quick gas station bite. There was also a gas station dog for some reason, and he was friendly and cute. It took a little long for my food to come out but not too bad. read more

In the Bryce Canyon area this makes for a nice lunch stop with good Mexican food and great service. Co-located with a convenience store and gas station, there is a lot of seating and food comes quick. It is only a ten minute drive from the park in Tropic. Service was very charming. read more

Route 12 Grill - This restaurant has great Mexican and comfort food options. It is attached to a convenience store/gas station in Tropic. - Burgers Near Me - Tropic, Utah

Good burgers. Good prices. Yes, it's in a gas station convenience store,. Plenty of seating, clean. Great pit stop if you're hungry.

Not sure how this place has such good reviews... It's a very well done gas station but the restaurant inside is very mediocre. The food is BLAND. Not to mention 2/4 of our party members got SICK! (threw up maybe 3 hours after eating here) Go to the pizza place next door, way better quality! read more

It was fresh also it was really fast. It is located inside of a gas station you have to order at the register.

This is a counter inside a service station. Super friendly service at the cash register. Food was tasty but absolutely everything is fried! We went here because they had a chicken Caesar wrap on the menu hoping we'd find something a little healthier. Wrong. Was it delicious? Yes. Was it fried? Yes. There is no other option here. While seated, one of the people working there used a VERY loud drill to attach paper towel holding poles to each picnic table. It was so loud. The place was clean, quick service, tasty food but I didn't realize we'd be at a counter inside a convenience store... that wasn't bad, it was actually quite convenient. But the all fried even when it says chicken Caesar wrap, I think the menu could be clearer. read more

The restaurant is so good! Very big surprise given that it is inside a gas station and gift shop. The menu is pretty big and the southwest chicken quesadilla and fried pickles were excellent! Fresh veggies inside and it was huge! The people at the station gift shop are sooo nice and they sell lots of cute gifts and souvenirs! read more

https://youtu.be/3rYxh_HGZcQ?si=bKZU_3eSiMBIJwjA Well, the Sphere in Las Vegas is on my bucket list since it opened. Hit Route 12 Grill along the way. I was hungry and the food plus good service hit the spot. read more

Food was OUTSTANDING. I had a breakfast burrito and it was massive. They top it all off with an impressive selection of protein drinks and energy drinks. 10/10 will be back read more

Had a breakfast burrito and it was really good. This is not your typical gas station food place. The grill is made to order and really good. Add in super nice folks and that means we are coming back for breakfast tomorrow. read more

If you're on the hunt for delicious fast food that hits the spot, look no further than Route 12 Grill. Located at Stage Stop Station, this gem offers mouth-watering options that cater to every craving. The restaurant is based in a gas station and gift shop, so there's plenty to do while you wait for your food. It's incredibly basic in terms of service: you place your order, take a number, and sit down. But the food is absolutely phenomenal, and the service is friendly. The prices are also very modest, especially considering how much more expensive things are closer to the main tourist areas. I ordered a great cheeseburger with onion rings and fries. The burger was hand-pressed and bursting with flavor, and the onion rings and fries were perfectly crispy. All in all, Route 12 Grill offers great value, delicious food, and a friendly atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger without breaking the bank. Highly recommended! read more

Stopped in here for lunch between hikes at Bryce on a chilly January day and we were warmed up by very fresh and authentic Mexican dishes. We had the shrimp tacos and chicken rice bowl. Both were excellent and quickly prepared. Make this your lunch stop when visiting the area - bonus is a short drive through the scenic Route 12 highway that slices through the canyon. read more

We stopped to grab a couple of Breakfast Burritos for the long trek toward home....but we missed arrived 10 min after end of breakfast menu. So I ordered a couple of cheese burgers....they were good! read more

Hidden Gem! For a quick bite inside a gas Station! Just a 10 -12 mins drive from Bryce Canyon. Food is delicious for what they have on the Menu. I had a Taco Salad with Shredded chicken. My kid had a cheeseburger and he put lettuce tomato and barbecue sauce on his from the Salad bar. And the yummiest part was the red sauce on the wet Burrito, which my wife ordered. read more

We went here for breakfast because I wanted some eggs. It really wasn't that good only because it had so much cheese! Ugh. I appreciated that they provided breakfast at all and I knew this was a touristy area. I just wish it had a great breakfast spot is all. Thanks for making the omelette though! read more

Street tacos for lunch. Chicken was very tasty. Daughter liked the chicken tenders. Breakfast menu is made to order. Buttermilk biscuits are huge. I got a sausage burrito with no cheese. There's a condiment area to get salsa. The grille is in the gas station so you can also get coffee, drinks, ice cream and other stuff. read more

Excellent breakfast at a great price. The staff were friendly and helpful, and even shared insight on which route to our next destination would be most scenic. Everything was spotless and tidy. Great vibe. read more

We stayed not too far from here and decided to grab a quick bite before heading into Bryce Canyon. What a pleasant find! Interestingly tucked inside the market, they had a standard grill with nice menu items. California burrito (4): got ours with beef and was amazed by the meat which was super moist and tender. Needed French fries to make it a california burrito in our book but overall a solid burrito. Breakfast burrito w bacon (5): simple and good. Bacon was crispy. Another pleasant surprise. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, this place is a good option. read more

We ordered at the kiosk which was easy to use. Not much communication with any staff. We ate inside at the picnic tables. Smothered burrito was a good portion. Sides of rice and beans were big enough for 2 people to share. Chicken sandwich was crispy (the menu didn't specify). Condiments including lettuce and tomatoes are self-serve. Food was better than I expected and the prices were reasonable. read more

If you are traveling through the area especially to Capitol Reef in off season (?December - March), this might be your only food options. Everything was closed for us between Torrey and Bryce (Saturday in late December), like shut down & closed up for season, including gas station marts. Even coffee shops and places listed as open online and including the bbq place listed in Tropic. There is stuff in Bryce Canyon City and one or two bad hotel restaurants in Torrey. Burgers were serviceable here, store had everything we needed. read more

Great spot for lunch with varied menu and fresh cooked food and sandwich choices. The chef really takes pride in making his dishes and was friendly and fast. Tables are inside a convenience store, but don't let that stop you from ordering the food, it was delicious and appropriately priced, and the staff were very friendly. We'll be back. read more

We perused Bryce Canyon City and saw overpriced, unappealing menus. We went over the Tropic and found a low-key dining spot. The staff was friendly and the food was affordable and amazing! They made it in front of us and I was impressed with the quality. 10/10 would return. read more

Very clean gas station that has a two story gift shop and a cafeteria serving simple Mexican American dishes at a reasonable price. The portions are bigger than expected with unlimited toppings on the side. Great rest stop on your way to Bryce Canyon. read more

The Starving Marvin egg burrito is delicious and the cashier was friendly. It was also reasonably priced

I was a little apprehensive about getting my lunch at a gas station, so I picked the safe bet. I had the double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. The food was incredible! Highly recommend! read more

Would not recommend. The burger tasted like old meat and the mayonnaise had a strong after-flavor (to me it tasted like glue). Yes, the price is very cheap (the entire meal cost about $10), but as the saying goes: "you get what you pay for"! Stay away from this place if you value quality over price. read more

Route 12 Grill - Bacon cheeseburger w/ fries and a rootbeer (fountain drink) - Burgers Near Me - Tropic, Utah

Food was good and inexpensive. I had a burger (no cheese or bun) and it was flavorful. My sister had the enchiladas and they were good. Certainly not gourmet but a good deal for the cost. read more

Definitely a great place for lunch when visiting Bryce Canyon! I had 2 beef tacos that were overflowing with the juiciest meat, accompanied by rice and beans. My husband had a double cheeseburger that was the size of his head, accompanied by onion rings. Great place to shop also and very friendly! read more

This is the best meal I've ever gotten in a gas station. It was the only place open in town for lunch after a morning of touring Bryce Canyon. Good food, reasonably priced. Recommend it for all those in search of a meal in Tropic, UT read more

Portions were healthy! I had the tacos and enjoyed them. My husband had the burrito and it was huge!

We really liked this place. The bacon cheeseburger with onion rings is so good! The fries were excellent too. Large portions and serve yourself toppings. read more

Route 12 Grill - Bacon cheeseburger, onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Tropic, Utah

Okay food, reasonable price. The burritos are mostly rice and beans unfortunately, not much meat or veggies. Nachos are good as long as you like cheese sauce. Some of the other meals are a bit small but they give you a ton of fries to make up for it I guess. read more

Found on yelp. Don't let the gas station stop you from going in. Order with cashiers and get your drinks from store cooler or they have ice and fountain drinks. Sit at inside picnic table and they call your number. Very good breakfast gravy biscuits etc sandwiches or salads. We ate there twice close to where we were staying read more

Don't waste your time..it was fun hugging the Sinclair dinosaur, though. Several other places looked much better.

Food was ok. Price was ok. Service was ok. For a tourist spot, this is VERY ok. One star off because of their rather early closing time.

Inexpensive and DELICIOUS mexican food (and more) in a casual, indoor picnic table setting. Set in a gas station, inside a gift shop, just 12 minutes down the road from Bryce Canyon City. Why not leave the tourist traps behind and get some real food? We had the smothered burrito (with shredded beef and red sauce), and beef and chicken street tacos. Both generous servings, wonderful authentic seasoning. Great red sauce. There's a help-yourself condiments bar with onions, cheese, salsa, sour cream, etc. We also had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which, while not mexican, was also VERY good! Great food, generous servings, and modest prices. Great way to feed a hungry family on the road. Virtually everything on the menu is under $10. Oh BTW they close at 6:00 p.m. read more

Wow!! That was delicious & authentic. I'm a gas station that is very clean with nice bathrooms. 100% recommend. You order your food at the register. read more

This grill had a lot of good options and was exactly what we were looking for. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday evening despite the park crowds. The exterior has a log cabin feel and the interior has cast iron skillets and animal trophies. The chicken street tacos with fresh pico and avocado were enough for a meal, but the chocolate cake with its layers of chocolate frosting was worth saving room for. read more

We got Cali burritos and they were HUGE! They were delicious and all of the staff members were very kind. It is in a very cool two story gas station with cute souvenirs. There were some very cute and friendly dogs that roamed the store portion while we were there. Overall a very nice experience! read more
