We were camping in Capitol Reef and decided we wanted a big, diner-style breakfast. We started driving and stumbled upon Sunglow Cafe and this place DELIVERED. Me and my buddy couldn't have been more pleased with the huge amount of delicious American breakfast foods we received for a totally reasonable price. Each breakfast platter came with generous helpings of meat, eggs, toast and pancakes or waffles or scones. I got the scones with ham and loved it. My buddy got the pancake platter and was equally pleased. The service was helpful and friendly. And we were surprised at how quick the service was on November morning. I'd def come back here next time I roll through Bicknell. read more

I'm being generous giving 3 stars. We chose this place purely on Yelp recommendations. People must not know good food. It wasn't awful. It just isn't as good as they say. If you are just looking for adequate food, then okay. Eat here. Maybe it was just what we ordered. I had the Alfredo pasta. Really, how can you ruin a white sauce unless you make it from a can or a powder. It wasn't great. Toast that went with it was okay. Something tasted overly processed about it. Husband had the chili verde. It wasn't green. In fact it was orange! Husband said it was good though. He's easy to please. I asked for a slice of pie to go. They have some very different pies. Pickle, Pinto Bean, Oatmeal, and Buttermilk. I chose the Buttermilk. Later that night I dove into it. It was good if you like very sweet pie with fake whipped topping. Wait staff were really nice. Hence, 3 stars instead of 2. read more

It's the pie. The reason folks travel 1000's of miles to go to Bicknell is for their unorthodox pies. Pickle pie? You say. Don't knock it til you try it. Very friendly folks here to boot. We used Bicknell for our base ro explore Capitol Reef N.P. read more

Great pies, very friendly staff, decent food and slow service We being veggies, didnt have much options except for couple of pasta items. We ordered a pasta. They were accommodative to make a veggie order of a burrito. The pasta was good and the bread was excellent. The burrito was bad. We ordered a coconut pie which was great. read more

By far one of the best French dips I have had. Not dry at all and so flavorful. We also tried the pinto bean pie and my oh my! It was nothing I would have expected, but in a very good way! Nice and sweet. I wish I would have saved room for more of the pies they had on display. read more

Was recommended to us by the staff at the hotel we are staying at in Torrey as the best restaurant in the area, even though it is ten miles away in Bicknell! On arriving, my wife, two children and I were the only guests, which gave us pause. We were comforted by the friendly and attentive service. We asked our waitress for recommendations: chile verde and smothered burrito, which we ordered. They were fantastic. We were told to indulge ourselves on the famous Sunglow pies, especially the pinto bean pie baked by the 85 year grandmother. Our friendly waitress suggested a tasting plate composed of small slices of four pies. They were all delicious! We were so happy with our meal and the excellent service we plan to go back tomorrow. By the time we left, the restaurant was almost full. Deservedly so. read more

I wish I had known about this before I happened to pass by it on my way out of Torrey! An excellent diner styled eatery famous for their pies--they offer excellent service, large portions, tasty dishes and great value for your money. Better than any breakfast you can get in Torrey for my money. If you are visiting Capitol Reef, be sure to stop by! read more

This place is a jewel! Great food. Great service! Navajo tacos and buttermilk pie was great!

The Chile verde was to die for! Portions were huge. My mother in law got the monte cristo sandwiches and thought they were just alright. Everyone loved their burgers. Great food and pies. read more

The best chicken fried steak I ever ate! Excellent service, great food and yes, pies are very tasty! My family and I stop there for dinner and we were really happy we did. Prices are good, there is a family atmosphere. If you are in Torrey, Utah, I do recommend this place to eat. read more

We ate there last Saturday during a visit to Capitol Reef National Park. Really enjoyed it. The food was just fine and the service was outstanding. Our server was Indica and she really made us feel welcome, even though there was six of us plus a two-year-old and a baby. This isn't the place to go if you're looking for an upscale chic dining experience. The menu leans toward comfort/diner/home style, but was very tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely return on our next trip to the Capitol Reef region. read more

This place is an absolute must-go & eat PIE! Their specialty is sweet pickle (sic!) pie and red bean pie, both absolutely amazing. We've ordered a sampler with slices of sweet pickle, red bean, buttermilk and oatmeal cookie pie. Buttermilk pie tasted like the most delicate lemon curd in a tasty butter pie crust. The oatmeal cookie pie was equally delicious. The food we had including grilled chicken breast and chimichanga - both fresh and tasty. Even the waitress was nice. This place is a hidden gem near Capitol Reef. One day when I'm in a desperate need of pie I'll drive all the way to Bicknell. read more

Hands down the best chicken fried steak in the state and the cheese fries are amazing! Really good ranch dressing too.

Stopped in for a good home cooked meal. The staff was friendly and the surrounding area is spectacular ... even from the booths you can look down across the valley and see the spectacular farm land. Enjoyed the sampler pie option for desert, which included oatmeal pie, pinto bean pie, custard pie, and pickle pie. Not disclosing the pie flavors to our kids they picked the oatmeal pie, then the pickle pie! Once we revealed the flavors, suddenly their opinions changed, but not for taste, just for the unease of enjoying pickles in a pie. Good place to stop by and have a good meal. read more

We ate here twice (breakfast and lunch) both times the food was excellent and reasonably priced. They offer pinto bean, pickle, oatmeal and buttermilk pie in addition to the usual suspects. We tried all the unusual flavors in the sample plate and found them surprisingly good. A great place to eat near Capitol Reef. read more

This is an inexpensive cafe. Probably is fine if you stick to traditional cafe food. The Tilapia was not grilled as claimed. Although this is not the only place to claim that pan frying is equivalent to grilling. Grilling means over an open flame. It gets two stars because it's 4.5 star rating is way too high. Sorry. read more

Great breakfast of thick French toast, fluffy pancakes, eggs, omelet and huge slices of bacon!

Found this small restaurant through Yelp when we were staying at Fish Lake and needed to eat dinner. My wife ordered the sirloin steak and I had a cheeseburger with fries. The service was prompt and friendly and the restrooms were clean. The steak was smaller than expected especially for almost $16, however it was seasoned and cooked nicely. My cheeseburger and fries were filling and tasty. I would give this resto 3 stars if it was located in a city with competition but due to its relatively remote location I have to give it more credit for being open, available, having friendly staff,and having tasty dishes. We did not partake of their pies as they didn't seem to have any freshly made ones during our visit. read more

I would love to write a review but as my group pulled up they quickly flipped the sign from open to closed. We arrived about 20 minutes before close and as the waitress stated, "chose to close a bit early." Nice to know the people in Bicknell Utah are so prosperous that turning away a tired hungry group of people seemed a solid business decision. While the mountains are beautiful and the fishing was superb, the town is less than tourist friendly. Made me miss Moab, UT. read more

The service isn't great but wow this food is amazing. The soup had hand made noodles and everything we got was fantastic. I had the fish and chips and it was excellent. read more

Bicknell, Utah is a small town at the base of Sunglow Canyon. The sights are breathtaking. The Sunglow restaurant is a Great place for a home cooked meal. Friendly service. read more

Worst customer service ever. We came just before 8 and were the only people in the restaurant. The place was ran by a bunch of teenagers who were too busy playing and flipping towels then working. It took 20 mins for someone to take our order. 1/2 of it came out quickly the rest was 40+ minutes after the first food was served. The cook came out and told us it was because the chicken was frozen. Finally I asked for the rest of my food to be given to us in to go boxes since we had been there a very long time. I ordered the Cobb Salad. Half of the stuff was missing in the salad like blue cheese and bacon. I also ordered the roast for my daughter. The veggies were missing. It was a horrible experience. read more

Delicious and the best authentic Mexican food! Very friendly and quick service, and owner tried very hard to make you happy. Highly recommend beef tongue tacos. read more

Wow--not many options in such a small town, but we're glad we picked Sunglow. The food was good solid cafe food. But the pie was incredible, especially the Pinto Bean pie. Would never have thought that that would be a good combination, but it's absolutely incredible. I would give 6 stars for the pie! read more

I had a decent burger, but my husband's steak was super fatty and cooked very unevenly. Tried the famous pickle pie, and was definitely not impressed. I think it was the textural aspect of the pickle chunks that killed it for me. Probably won't come back here, it's pretty pricey for the quality. read more

Just ordered the pie sampler. Pickle pie, pinto bean pie, oatmeal pie, and buttermilk pie. I'm definitely impressed! I came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed! They were all surprisingly delicious!!! Even the pickle! read more

This place is a fantastic find! I had an amazing French dip with fresh, homemade French fries. My boyfriend had a delicious burrito. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly. Definitely a good place to stop when driving through town! read more

An older dinner that will surprise you, Does not look like much on the inside, but it is a hidden gem. My husband had the blu burger with homemade fries, it was excellent. I got the burrito and it was very tasty. We tried the pie sampler and the pies were fabulous, best homemade crust we have ever had! The pinto bean pie was our favorite, it was like a chest-pie but better. The pickle pie is between a fruit cake and an apple spice pie, very interesting. They played old 70s tunes and the staff was super friendly. The waitress was telling us that the only person to know the recipes to the pies was an 82 year old lady that comes in every morning at 5:30am to make them fresh. Try this place out if you are in town! read more

The service wasn't the best, but the food was delicious. The homemade chicken noodle soup was some of the best I ever had. And the fried steak really did hit the spot. read more
