A Quiet Shelters must for food lovers. It is one of our mandatory dinners when we are in Kanab. Chef Shon Foster’s flagship restaurant, Sego, offers creative regional cuisine and cocktails. Some of our favorite dishes are the foraged mushroom and artichoke toast, the beet salad, and fried rice. We recommend booking your reservation in advance if you would like a table at this culinary experience in Kanab!
Another Quiet Shelters favorite for patio dining and relaxed atmosphere. Peekaboo Canyon wood fired kitchen is a vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurant in Kanab with creative wood-fired pizzas, burgers, and salads. Our favorites include the Southwest Salad and the Fuhgeddaboudit pizza.
Wild Thyme Bistro focuses on organic ingredients from on-site gardens and a local greenhouse. They offer craft recipes with quality beef, fish and chicken dishes, including vegan and vegetarian options. It's hard to pick a favorite off their menu but our go-tos are the tropical piggy and the salmon. Wild Thyme is a popular choice for gourmet dishes in a casual setting.
Another local favorite with a dash of menu humor. Rocking V feels a little like a reminder to slow down: good food, friendly people, eclectic art, music in the room, and no WiFi on purpose. Put the phone away, look around, talk to the people you came with, and stay awhile. That is part of the charm.
It took me almost 2 years to get to the Iron Horse. And when I finally did I sat for 3 hours in their western themed relaxed patio setting with a friend over beers. The Iron Horse is where you go to maintain that old pioneer town feel with comfort food.
The Buckskin Tavern, an iconic local bar in Fredonia, Arizona is about 10 minutes from Kanab. It boasts of ‘the longest bar in Arizona.' After a fresh update to the classic ‘dive bar’ built in 1934 by a local family, the new owners have brought The Buckskin Tavern into the 21st century while keeping the original mystique and charm that has drawn patrons for close to 100 years. There is often live music on the weekends.
Brown Box is a cute local cafe with soup of the day, grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade ice cream, and baked goods. Our favorite sandwich is the popper! It's an easy place to grab a light lunch on the way to the trails.
If you are looking for a casual breakfast or lunch sandwich Jakey Leighs has got your back. I often get the build your own sandwich on a buttery croissant and a black iced tea for lunch when I'm out and about town.
Always packed and always a hit, Escobar’s is the popular Mexican restaurant in Kanab owned by Rosa and Leo. With passed down family recipes, their Chile Rellenos, chimichangas, enchiladas, and carne asada are delicious.
After a long hike there is nothing better than a small batch, cold pressed, organic smoothie. We love this local gem which focuses on health, wellness, and detox. The best part is you can also turn their smoothies into a bowl with gluten free granola and toppings of choice.
A newer addition to the Kanab area. Located north of town towards Hog Canyon this cafe offers a variety of coffee and espresso drinks, complemented by house-made baked goods.
Another great food truck located outside of a quirky historical cave. The Moqui Cave has quite the history and feels like a classic Americana roadside attraction, complete with its glowing mineral collection and tchotchkes. The Cave Cafe serves grilled paninis, smoothies and açaí bowls. The setting against the red rock cliffs make the lunch stop worth it.
Your go-to coffee and espresso bar. Located in the Kanab Tour Company building. There are tables if you need to bring your computer or want to sit and enjoy a cup of joe.
The best classic hamburger joint in town. Big Al’s retro-style diner makes a perfect pit stop for diner style fries, burgers, and shakes.
Fun western themed Saloon with an amazing Americana Museum attached to it. We loved their smoked old fashioned. They have a bar menu with burgers, mac and cheese, wings etc. It has an Old West Americana feel.
