Rustler's Restaurant

This is our go-to restaurant in Tropic. We love the Rustler's breakfasts and lunches, though we've never been here for dinner, which isn't available before 4:30 pm. Today, we stopped on the way to a lunch appointment in Escalante, and decided to try their desserts for a change. The Apple Walnut pie was delicious, and I assume so was the Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake my spouse ordered. I looked up and it was already gone, polished down to the drizzle of chocolate syrup dressing the plate! Very pleasant way to break a long drive.

Friendly, attentive service with a wide variety of dining options from pasta to burgers to BBQ to Mexican. My server promptly brought a pitcher of water and complimentary loaf of bread before taking my order, and even fixed my slightly wobbly table. Smothered chicken burrito was comparable to other Mexican restaurants. My only (minor) complaint would be that something (the chicken I think) was a bit salty. A good option for families looking for a sit-down restaurant without breaking the bank.

This restaurant is basic and clean. The menu has a little bit of everything. The food preparation is good, nothing special. The service is average and the wait staff is attentive. It's a great place to get food after hiking around the national park, but don't expect anything above average.

Stopped here before entering Bryce National Park. Hadn’t had a sit down meal in a couple days. This stop was a awesome decision. Hot coffee and wonderful breakfast. I had the American with bacon. Hubby had the all meat omelette. Both meals were delicious. Service top notch too!
