Arches National Park Restaurants

Because most people come to Arches to play outside, casual trekking-wear rules—sandals, shorts, and T-shirts in the very hot summers. Whether you select an award-winning Continental restaurant in Moab, a nearby resort, or the tavern in Green River, you can dress comfortably in shorts or jeans. But don't let the relaxed attire fool you. There are some wonderful culinary surprises waiting for you, a few with spectacular views as a bonus.

In the park itself, there are no dining facilities and no snack bars. Supermarkets, bakeries, and delis in downtown Moab will be happy to make you food to go. If you bring a packed lunch, there are several picnic areas from which to choose.

  • 1. Moab Diner

    $ | American

    For breakfast (served all day), plus lunch and dinner, this neon-lighted retro diner and ice cream shop is a favorite place of old-time Moabites who appreciate the reasonable prices and good-size portions of reliably tasty American fare, from caramelized-pecan pancakes to green-chili cheeseburgers. Friendly servers whisk quickly amid the bustling dining room, and kids love the banana splits, milkshakes, and other sweet treats for dessert. There's also a good-size kids menu and box lunches to go.

  • 2. Ray's Tavern

    $

    In little downtown Green River, Ray's is something of a western legend and a favorite hangout for river runners. The bar that runs the length of this 1940s restaurant reminds you this is still a tavern and a serious watering hole—but all the photos and rafting memorabilia make it also comfortable for families. It's worth stopping in for the great tales about working on the river, as well as some of the coldest beer and tastiest burgers around. 

    25 S. Broadway, Green River, Utah, 84525, USA
    435-564–3511

    Known For

    • Legendary burgers
    • Great people-watching
    • Homemade apple pie
  • 3. Sunset Grill

    $$$

    Looming high over Moab, this cliffside home of former uranium kingpin Charlie Steen offers gorgeous views of the Colorado River and surrounding red rocks, especially at sunset. The traditional American fare—including filet mignon, prime rib, pasta dishes and house-made desserts—is classic and upscale, making for the kind of place people take their parents for a fancy night out. Call ahead for reservations during the busy season.

    900 N. Main St., Moab, Utah, 84532, USA
    435-259–7146
