    Totally forgot to take pics of the food. But here's the review. I'd say it's pretty good "bar" food. But pricey which is often the case in a vacation town. I had a burger melted with onions and mushrooms. And got a side salad to go with it. Others I was with enjoyed their food as well. The service was very good and the ambiance was more than adequate but not super special.

    Breaded cheese curds
    Claudia E.

    After several days in Utah and being extremely disappointed by literally everywhere we went out to eat, we figured we would give this place a try on our last day. We definitely saved the best for last! We were cold and tired from hiking and just wanted a nice comforting meal. We started with the breaded cheese curds. We are suckers for fried cheese and we thought these were pretty solid. My husband got the tapenade and salami sandwich, which he rudely didn't share, meaning it was good. I got the Reuben that I also didn't share, meaning it was good. We were each happy with our meals and portions. The ambiance was lively and the staff was exceptionally friendly. Shoutout to the hostess that let me take multiple pieces of candy from the bowl. Overall we had a great experience. Not the best restaurant in the world, but by leaps and bounds the best restaurant we found in the area!

    The bar

    Very cool old building with some upstairs seating that overlooks the bar. The bartender was great and the food came out fairly quick. The Ruben and sweet potato fries were delicious; highly recommend. The fish fry had a good review, but not enough fish (2 pieces, maybe order an extra piece if you're a big eater).

    Discovered this place through Yelp. Sat in the cute bar area. Service was attentive and friendly. Our server answered all of our questions and was great at suggestions and following up. Ordered the poutine and Hot Trails burger. The burger was definitely the winner in taste and spice. We ordered it with sweet potatoes waffle fries, which were hot and crispy. Don't forget the arches sauce (think thousand island dressing) to help with the heat.

    Bison poplar burger

    4.5 stars definitely loved this place! Keep in mind it's usually very busy so plan to get there at least 20 ish minutes before you want to actually eat so you can get on the waitlist! The hours were very confusing because the posted hours online and the posted in the window don match. We thought they would be closed and were so sad but then they were actually open so just keep that in mind also! We each got a bison burger and sweet potato fries they were so insanely good! Highly recommend this place. They are incredibly fast at getting the food out to you as well. Honestly only knocking it down from 5 stars because it's pretty pricey, we paid $70 after tip for 2 burgers with only water to drink.

    Traveling thru Moab and needed to stop for dinner, saw online they have Guinness on tap and some delicious comfort plates, no brainer. Monday night, a bit more busy than I expected; 20 min wait for a table. Ordered Guinness pints at the bar and quickly scored 2 bar stools, cancelled the table. I ordered the Green Chili Poutine and hubby ordered the Ruben Sandwich & Waffle Fries; good solid comfort food choices. Bartender service was excellent, friendly!

    Green chili pulled pork soup
    Katie S.

    We got here after a long day of hiking and it was perfect. We got fish and chips, which was excellent and the antipasti salad, which was so great. The staff was friendly and prices were fair. I really enjoyed our experience here.

    WE DID NOT EAT HERE .. Super disappointed to be turned away from Trailhead after hearing that it has the best burger in Moab. The restaurant was closing the next day for the Christmas week holiday and had sold out of food, so it was no longer seating in the restaurant. Not sure we'll be back to Moab or to Trailhead :-(

    Club sandwich
    Ron S.

    This place is right on main street so easy to find. There was not much parking around it but it is a small town so park anywhere and walk. They have seating upstairs but not much downstairs so if you can't climb you might have to wait. The staff was friendly but didn't check on us till we were finished. It is nice inside with a rustic feel. I ordered a special with pulled pork and pineapple which I liked but it was a bit dry. The wife had the club which she enjoyed but thought they could have toasted the bread more. The tots were not as crispy as we like either. All in all it is a nice easy to get to place that is close to downtown Moab

    After a day of sightseeing in Arches National Park, we chose this restaurant for lunch. We found it easily on the main street of Moab across from the food truck park. It was lunch time and the place was packed but we were able to get a table for two in the window which we enjoyed very much for people watching. We ordered iced tea as we were parched even though there is a full-service bar and lots of beers and we decided to share the French dip beef sandwich made from steak which looked really good, covered in onions and cheese and served with a pile of homemade french fries, not frozen, fresh cut french fries. You can always tell the difference. Our waitress was attentive even though there were several large tables close by. The restaurant even though The sign said established in 2020 is decorated in an old style desert western bar, lots to look at and enjoy. Old wooden floors and tables. After lunch we declined the traditional bread pudding which is their signature dessert because we were quite full and decided to take a little walk. Across the street are a couple of gelato restaurants and the food truck park is right down the road which we did try the next day. There is a small parking lot off the street behind the restaurant and there is street parking if you can find a space! Moab is a wonderful little town with tons of places to eat and drink. It is clean and neat and well taken care of and of course Arches, Canyonlands, all the parks around and the four wheeling make it a perfect vacation spot.

    Trailhead Public House & Eatery is set inside a historic 1886 building in downtown Moab, giving it a lot of character. The menu is full of hearty comfort food, and they even have a dedicated dog menu, which was a huge plus for us. Luna enjoyed her Patty Pooch Plate (we skipped the bread for her), and she was thrilled to be included. For drinks, I tried the Gin Rita--a refreshing mix of gin, lime, and a salted rim--while my husband had an 805 on draft. For food, we shared the Chipotle Pulled Pork Burrito, stuffed with pulled pork, cheddar cheese, refried beans, diced onions, and sour cream, served with chips and salsa. It was a filling, flavorful meal, and the total came to about $47 before tip. The only drawback was the pet-friendly seating. There was just one shaded table outside, so options are limited if you're visiting with a dog. Still, the atmosphere inside was cozy and welcoming, and the staff made us feel at home.

    Fish & chips .... A true delicious classic so good.!!
    Myeisha J.

    Oh, I had a fish and chips. It was absolutely delicious .. The fish was crisp and Tangy and the coleslaw was amazing.

    Whisky Tango burger and crispy fries
    Kyle A.

    Friendly and speedy service sitting at the bar. The Whiskey burger was delicious with two thin patties, bacon, and BBQ. The BBQ was mild in flavor, close to a ketchup I'd say. My only complaint is that the bacon was not crispy at all, very fatty. The fries were the kind with a bit of skin still on them and crispy. Very good fries. But the star of the meal (no pic because we ate it later that evening) was the bread pudding. It was lemon and raspberry. The To Go version came in a little tin, with a delicious raspberry sauce and cup of vanilla ice cream. Definitely tastes like home made.

    Are there any vegan Desserts?

    They offer popsicles which are likely vegan and they had a 'No Moo Vanilla' ice cream as well. They did have several dessert options when we visited and I'm guessing there were at least a couple of vegan sweet treats.

    Do they take reservations?

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Absolutely! Pups are welcomed on the patio!

And it's not on the main drag, which is kind of charming-you'll find it a couple blocks away in a more residential area. You'll walk up to the window, place your order and then wait for your number to be called when your food is ready. If you come during peak time, you're going to wait a bit. Grab a free cup and fill it with water at the water station next to the window and hang tight. It's worth the wait. I opted for tots instead of fries and thoroughly loved them.

Stroke the burger OFF your list & you'd be doing yourself a favor. Sweet pickle instead of dill pickle, half the amount of beef or bison meat, bad bread.

These new owners are losing return customers left & right & everyone at the table, strangers & friends, agreed this is tragic. The coffee shop across the way is awesome & I hope the degradation at Milts doesn't hurt them, too. Go get an exemplary coffee there if you're jonesing for quality taste.

If you like crunchy fries, this place nails them. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the space is huge-half of it is set up as a restaurant, while the other side is considered a pub, where you can order drinks without food. Since we were hungry, we ordered food anyway. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the hostess even brought Luna a treat, which made her day. We stayed inside so Luna could cool off before heading to Arches National Park. The only downside for me was the margarita, which was far too sour for my taste. Still, the overall vibe, great fries, and pet-friendly attitude made this a solid stop in Moab.

If you want to try any of them you do have to pay 50 cents which is a bummer but it is Utah after all. I loved their juicy IPA and we all decided to get dinner so I had the hipster veggie burger and I genuinely think it was one of the best veggie burger I've ever had. It was crispy and veggie filled and so delicious with the toppings and sauces. The fries were also really good especially with their house made sauces. My friend got the kale caesar which was also amazing, highly recommend. This place is a little outside town but totally worth it and service was great. I wish I knew about it sooner, I highly recommend.

Pizza was a great deal as it was the daily special for only 12$ with one topping and comes with honey. Pretty neat as I had never heard of dipping the thick crust in honey but it was delicious. The place is pretty cool vibe and you can tell they have a lot of regulars! Our waitress spent a ton of time talking to people that have turned into friends that frequently visit and sadly ignored our table most of the evening. It felt like all we did was wait. Drinks were served, then we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to return to take our order. Our food delivered to the table super fast which was unexpected. Then we enjoyed our meal and waited another 20+ minutes for the check. It was ridiculously slow and the restaurant was not crowded. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind chilling for over an hour and a half for a meal, this is the spot!
