This place was amazing! I would drive to Green River just to eat there. I had the Irish Breakfast and it was a full size and delicious meal. Service was also top notch. We had to pick up and leave in a hurry. They boxed everything neatly and quickly. It is worth it if you live near Green River or are just traveling through. I hope to eat there again soon. read more

This is kind of a mixed bag. I called a few days ago, no answer so I left an email. Explained it was my anniversary and I would be stopping by. 40 years, any way I could get a table with a view of the river? I didn't hear back so we stopped by hoping for the best. We were greeted by Dennis. He was so grumpy and confrontational we almost left. Had an attitude that felt like he had just been given notice. Maybe he should have been. I'm glad we didn't leave because our server was fantastic. Anthony did everything possible to make the evening great. Water glass was never empty and he was very accommodating. Made up for the host that seated us. Food was hot. Service was good. Just wish we could have had a better view on this special occasion. read more

The Tamarisk is a must try if you're ever in Green River. My husband's family likes to go on long desert rides to the San Rafael Swell, so they have been here a lot and highly recommend it! I've tried it a few times and love the vibes! For starters, the views are amazing. You can see the river from most tables. It's especially great if you get a table right by the window. This visit we were lucky enough to see a great blue heron in the water. Totally gorg!! For food, it is classic southwestern diner food. We started with the Navajo fry bread. It is on the denser side but still really good! I had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich and it was good. It could've used a sauce on it. I'm sure they'd provide one if requested. The sweet potato fries are amazing. 5/5 love love love! Everyone enjoyed their food. They were a little busy this time and the service wasn't as quick as usual, but we were all having fun hanging out. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend!! read more

Excellent food, generous portions, and service was great! The food was very fresh and made from scratch. You've got to try the Navajo flatbread with honey butter and jam...oh my goodness. The strawberry jam was so tasty that we asked if we could buy some to take home (unfortunately you can't btw) The chips and salsa were both homemade and oh so tasty. I dined on the California chicken and the chicken was so juicy and flavorful; perfect amount of hollandaise sauce. Others I was dining with had the enchiladas and they were huge! My husband had the Navajo flatbread with chicken and he can usually finish his meal but wasn't able to because he was stuffed! I highly recommend stopping by Tamarisk if you're in Green River. read more

The Tamarisk Restaurant overlooks the Green River and, inside, is a very large lighted sign hanging from a wall that says RURAL & PROUD. There is, indeed, a sense of pride in this restaurant that has a long and varied menu. There are little design touches that make this an inviting place. It seems to be a beacon because the parking lot is often filled with the cars and big trucks of locals who are probably regulars. Portions here are large. My tasty gringo version of huevos rancheros for breakfast could have served two or three people. As I sat in the predawn looking out the floor to ceiling windows at the river while sipping my black coffee, this was the best seat in town. There are few restaurant choices but Tamarisk seems to do a good job of serving the community and the many travelers who stop in Green River on their way to more iconic places east and west of Interstate 70. read more

Really happy we stopped in here on a cross country roadtrip. Food was delicious, server Anna was delightful, and clean restrooms.

How you'll feel about this place may depend on the frame of mind in which you approach it. If you were expecting unusually memorable food and a stunning view of the Green River, you might be disappointed both by the pedestrian fare and the fact that the stunning view of the Green River is more of a mud flat plus a concrete viaduct. But if you think of this as a remarkably hospitable and charming spot for dinner in what is otherwise kinda the middle of nowhere, still an hour before you reach Moab, where you can get fresh tasty salads, some good fry bread, and even food your kids will like -- if you think of this as a place where even when they are short-staffed and obviously overwhelmed your server still gets the food out fast and somehow makes your kids laugh in the middle of fighting with each other -- if you think of this as a place that is fundamentally really making an effort, when it would be so easy not to be -- well, you can see how it ends up with so many five star reviews. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch at the Tamarisk restaurant yesterday. It has a great view of the green river and a friendly atmosphere. We were greeted warmly and seated and then our server Anna introduced herself and we asked her about any favorite menu items of her. She suggested that we try one of the fry bread tacos. How often are you going to have authentic Navajo fry bread topped with delicious taco toppings. There is a beef option in a chicken option. We got the chicken open face taco with guacamole, cheese, black beans, and roasted corn. It was incredible and definitely the right choice. You're not gonna find this anywhere else probably. It was plenty for us to share the single dish and we actually had a bit of leftovers to take home. Highly recommend stopping here. It's very scenic and the food is terrific as well as the service. read more

I got chicken taco salad and my daughter got penne chicken Alfredo to go because I walked from our hotel to get our food . My salad had brown soggy lettuce and chewy chicken I ended up throwing it away . My daughter's pasta the sauce didn't stick to the noodles, she ended up throwing it away. $48 for their bread is all we ate, it was fresh and soft. Service was great from cashier. Sure didn't expect my food not edible. Very busy place so I had hopes of good food. Boy was I disappointed read more

Says pet friendly on the amenities but most certainly are not. We were told to make a to go order but we wouldn't get service.

Loved the view of the Green River. There were lots of hummingbirds eating at the feeders outside. The food was great!! I loved my chicken fried chicken. My grandson had the Caesar Salad and he loved it. They have big portions and everything tasted amazing. The service was very good. read more

We were welcomed by a super sweet lady. I told them we were referred to them by Yelp. We had a great view of Green River. I didn't get any pictures of our delicous food, we were hungry. The coffee was good, the pancake, Tamarisk omelette, and biscuits and gravy were fantastic! The omelette was HUGE, the bacon was thick and oh so good. It's hard to find a good biscuits and gravy, and even harder to have over medium eggs cooked to perfection. However, they did BOTH! AND, bonus points for using Foestawsre dishes. Made in the USA and not full of all of the chemicals of other dishes. read more

Beautiful location with a view! Food was delicious we had the chicken salad, country fried steak, soup of the day and the peanut butter mocha! I recommend all the dishes! Staff was attentive and friendly! Definitely sit by the window if you can to see the River. read more

Seated quickly and listened to the waitress chat it up for 8 mins as we patiently waited to be served. Had to get up and ask if there was a waitress. She(Barb) finally stated what can I get for you. Put our orders in and Barb went to another table and started chatting with another couple. She just continued to yap and yap about personal stuff. Finally got our Navajo bread. Very tasty. Chicken fajitas had plenty of veggies but bland. Beans and rice needed salt. Wife enjoyed the chicken fried steak. read more

Word to the wise: come here during sunset! Overlooking Green River, Tamarisk Restaurant offers serene views and a diverse menu with options for every palette, from salads and sandwiches to steaks and Mexican dishes. The hostess greeted us warmly and we were immediately seated in a half-booth table with awesome river views. My friend ordered the T Bone Special, and was a bit disappointed. For one, it was nowhere close to medium rare and appeared very well done. I got the chicken enchiladas and was satisfied with my dish. The red sauce was classic red enchilada sauce, but I was hoping for a bit more flavor and ended up slathering it in hot sauce. Our service was simple yet effective and we loved the carafe of Dr. Pepper left at our table! read more

Welcome to a true oasis in Utah! You go here for comfort food and end up happy - definitely the best food and service option in Green River and for at least an hour's drive either direction. Dinner was even better than breakfast at the Tamarisk Restaurant! We especially enjoyed the "chicken fried" steak and chicken with fresh veggie options on the side. They make cocktails (super sweet!) and offer a nice little selection of wines. For breakfast I got an omelette that was overcooked with a very dense biscuit. Really wish I'd gone with the pancakes and sausage I saw other people happily devouring. The regular coffee here is great - and they have all the latte options as well. Beautiful view of the Green River from this charming restaurant - cozy, positive vibes inside. Note: We stayed overnight in one of the rooms downstairs and LOVED it - and your breakfast is included with the room price. read more

Staying overnight in Green River and Tamarisk is really the only option in town for non-fast food. Fortunately it turned out to be a great option! We timed our visit for sunset and got seated immediately in a nice window booth facing west with a view of the river. The menu is extensive and has lots of options. We enjoyed a beer while looking the menu over. Tom ordered chicken fajitas which he liked - generous portion and the server added guac for no add'l charge. Served with the usual accompaniments plus cilantro rice and black beans. I ordered the 12 oz sirloin, med rare, plus mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed broccoli. The steak was cooked perfectly and the broccoli was nice and crisp. Mashed potatoes tasted homemade with, at my request, brown gravy. All good! Our server, a young man not yet old enough to serve alcohol, was really nice and attentive. Total tab before tip was $59. Would definitely return to this great local restaurant next time passing through. read more

Great food, restrooms, lending library, coffee bar and pastries, and gift items. Staff were friendly! Clean and inviting!

There is not much in green river so this was one of 2 choices. The place is right across the green river so the location is great. The windows overlook the river. The service was just ok. They helped us right away but then went down hill from there. I ordered the Navajo toco burger and the wife ordered the grilled ham and cheese. They were just ok. The fry bread on mine was very tough like it had been frozen then refried. The ham and cheese was more a ham sandwich with a slice of cheese. Nothing special but filled us up. It is good place if you are on 75 and just need food. read more

I've never had chopped tomatoes in my Caesar salad before. Not a fan. The south western taco salad was good. Lots of toppings with great flavor. Turkey, bacon avocado sandwich was odd. The bread had grill marks in both sides and was not warm at all. Bacon was think and over cooked. No mayo. Dry. Wedges were hot, but needed another minute to cook. Trudy our server was excellent. The restaurant itself needs a bit of a clean. read more

Food was dynamite. Fun place to have dinner when you're driving from Denver, CO and your destination is Cedar City, Utah.

Tamarisk Restaurant is a nice spot with friendly and prompt service and a pleasant view overlooking the Green River. The cinnamon roll was a standout and definitely worth ordering. I had the chicken-fried steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli, and everything was well prepared and satisfying. The fry bread with honey butter and jams was also very good. Overall, it was a solid meal in a beautiful setting. read more

Food was amazing but unfortunately my tummy didn't agree with it. It's probably the oil or something. Went here twice, I prefer my food than my tummy. Anyway, I had liver and onions and something else. It was done perfectly. It's busy on weekend and the wait staff was great. Great food!! read more

We were passing through on our road trip in Utah and got there at a very busy Sunday afternoon. We checked in to be put on a wait list and were told it would be a 20 minute wait but we got seated in about 10 minutes which was nice. Despite it being busy the restaurant was not too loud. Service was quite slow. I ordered the trout and it tasted great, however, the vegetables tasted like canned food and the mashed potatoes were very bland. Nice view of the river. read more

My partner had the lingual and said that it was delicious and a generous portion. I had the chiliquiles. The eggs were way over cooked, but the sauce was very good.

Staying in a motel, I got a take out dinner on two nights. Both dinners were excellent: coconut crusted tilapia and breaded cod. The fish and sides were tasty and highly enjoyable.
