Ok — let me start by saying that all our food was good. Wanted to chill at a local«burger joint» with a beer after the long drive from Grand Canyon. 2 adults and our three kids(14 and Twins, 11). But I think you’ll be disappointed in what you’ll spend for what you’ll get. Let me just say that this place thinks it wants to be a «burger &BBQ joint» but also thinks it wants to be an «upscale foodie» place. Unfortunately, while the food was«burger joint» good, it didn’t warrant the«upscale foodie» prices, particularly for a family. I’ve had far better burgers and BBQ on the road, at far cooler places, for far more reasonable prices(even in tourist destinations).

Burgers were delicious and waitress was kind. I had a buffalo Niger with sweet potato fries, yummy!!! Hubby had pulled pork burger and regular fries. All food was presented nicely and in a reasonable amount of time. We would return

Blue Duck Buffalo burger was amazing! Duck bacon, blue cheese, grilled onions, romaine lettuce. An incredible adventure of flavors.

Traveling cross country I found the Rv camp next door to this place, it had good ratings on Unilocal so I thought I would try it. It was 9:30 pm and I was starving. Called in my order for a pulled pork sandwich to go. Got there and the waitress from the attached bar was yelling to the cook that they«f’d» up the order in the bar. Girl then walks in and tells me my order will be just a little longer… Guess we know where my order went??? No big deal my order comes out shortly and I head to my Rv to enjoy my dinner. Well, it wasn’t the worst meal I ever had and certainly not the best meal ever! The pork was very fatty, some people like the fat, it makes me gag! The chipotle sauce was taste but not enough on the sandwich. The fries sucked! There was a mixture of some fries with fries that had been sitting around for awhile. They were limp and greasy. I squeezed one in my fingers and grease just oozed out! It is convenient if you are camping next door but it is nothing to brag about. I was torn between two stars and three, I think I am being very nice here. Sorry no pics I was to hungry to wait and take a picture, even the hunger didn’t make it taste that good!

On a long drive between Farmington, NM, and Salt Lake City, I was passing through Moab and I was hungry. Moab was, to me, unexpectedly mobbed with tourists. There was no parking anywhere and every place had lines out the door. So I was happy to see this sleepy little joint right on the outskirts of the city. The bartender Stephanie(I believe. Please forgive me if I got that wrong) was super welcoming and I really felt like I had just wandered into my hometown pub. Spoke with one of the owners who then gave me a quick tour of the property! I really felt at home even though i was about 2,100 miles away. The RANCH burger was out of this world! I was really blown away. And coming from a foodie town, that’s saying something. Heck, I’m ACTUALLY writing a Unilocal review. So, go here. Great beer selection as well. Lots of locally sourced food(as much as possible given the location) and home grown veggies! Great place and I would(WILL) return in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great time on a long journey!

The food and service here were great! We sat outside on the patio which was also lovely, except the trees overhead kept dropping bugs and sap into our food, drinks and all over our table.

So good! The lamb quesadilla was delicious! And the Ranch Burger? Amazing. Washed it down with a Squatters Heffeweizen. To top it all off, we were allowed to bring out dog out to the back patio to enjoy dinner with us– instead of waiting in the car(AC on of course).

Great Burger place in Moab. The atmosphere was great, the food was decent, and the patio area was killer. The prices were reasonable considering the food portions but the service left a little to be desired. Don’t let that deter you from trying this place. Hope to revisit soon as the pulled pork sandwich looked to die for.

I will never LITERALLY waste my time here again. YMMV. After a morning of hiking, we stopped at the Atomic. After all, it had a four-star rating. Early afternoon, 2pm. The lobby was empty. The patio area was half full with a decent live band playing. There were two signs in the lobby: «Please keep your children seated because we are a busy restaurant.» «We can’t split bills for parties with more than 6 people». I found that interesting. We sat there for 15 minutes before anyone seated us. The waiter said. «I’ll seat you back here.» and sat us inside. No water. No drink requests. He gave us menus, which appeared to have a pretty good selection, food-wise. The prices were high two-dollar-sign Unilocal range. The other couples sitting inside were looking a little irritated too. Another 15 minutes: waiter came out and asked what we wanted to drink. He disappeared after that. We waited another 10 minutes. NO water. NO drinks. NONOTHING. No one else was being waited on inside. The people outside were occasionally getting waited on. I finally said, «Let’s go» and we left. I really wanted to try their food but we were not waited on. The staff that walked by didn’t want to be bothered, apparently. Read some of the reviews below. Apparently this isn’t uncommon.

In the crowded, upscale restaurant scene of Moab, Atomic Grill consistently delivers. While other joints offer mediocre, run-of-the-mill pub fare to famished outdoors enthusiasts, Atomic serves well-crafted, fresh grub that will impress even that picky foodie in your group. Case in point: Lamb bacon is offered on several items. Yes, it is a good as it sounds. When tomatoes are out of season, Atomic offer fresh crinkle-sliced beets that are a refreshing alternative to the bland pale tomatoe. Servings are hearty and filling. Service is attentive, Live Music on the weekends is rockin’, and the drink menu looks tempting. Fellow tourists, Atomic Grill is the place to eat in Moab.

Nice burger, grass fed and I liked that. The place was empty when I came in and service was a bit slow. The place seems clean enough, I think all the action is in the bar. Moab can be overrun by tourists with the National Parks, and this place is between hotels and campgrounds on the north side of town Be careful with the traffic coming in and out, especially at night, There seem to be a lot of people in a big hurry on vacation.

Awesome burger joint. This place is definitely a gem here in Moab. Our server John was friendly, professional and quick! Ordered the basic beef burger and my buddy had the basic buffalo burger. I’m quite the critic when it comes to burgers and they were delicious! The live music is a plus and the atmosphere is super unique. I want to emphasize the the service here was exceptional. If you’re looking for a place to eat while driving through or visiting Arches NP… THISISTHEPLACE! Whatever they have going on here is stellar. Thanks guys!

Didn’t have a great experience here. I stopped by with a group of 6 after spending the day hiking in Arches at around 9:30pm on a Tuesday, and the place was pretty much deserted. Even so, our food took a while to come out. I ordered a ¼ rack of baby back ribs($ 15.75), which came with four BBQ ribs, coleslaw, and fries. The food was pretty average. The ribs weren’t particularly flavorful or tender, and didn’t have much meat on them. The fries were again okay, but nothing special. The coleslaw was so salty that it was basically inedible. Overall, the food was overpriced for the quality. In addition, our server charged us for an extra order of beets.

Great service and the food is extremely favorable with layers of taste. It is a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend the Elk Stew.

Came here after a day of hiking at Arches. We were super hungry after hiking a couple of trails. Kids got mac and cheese along with chicken fingers. Food came out quickly for them. They also really enjoyed their milkshakes. Wife and I got their steak house buffalo burger. That was awesome! Meat was flavor and tender. They cooked the burger perfectly to a nice medium. The sweet potato fries got were nice and crisp. We also split a chicken Caesar salad. That was one of the best salads we ever had. The dressing was flavor but light. Chicken was moist and tender. We also got a couple of shakes that were truly outstanding. We didn’t have space for dessert because we ate every last bite and fry. This was our best meal of our trip so far. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great burger and shake.

We were on our way out of moab and needed to pick up lunch. Everything on main street was super crowded and kind of gave me anxiety. We drove away from the crowd and ran into this place. The service was excellent. The beers came promptly. They used fresh vegetables. The lettuce wedge(and i added delicious duck bacon!) was beautiful but needed tomatoes and less dressing/cheese. The sweet potato fries were really delicious as well as their regular fries.

Great service, excellent drinks, and a menu filled with so many things I wanted to order that I was regretful I couldn’t go back again the next day. This is a restaurant that would easily do well in a city of serious — and at times, snobby — foodies(such as San Francisco), but luckily for those visiting Moab, it is a nice break from many of the other available options that can seem like tourist traps. We ordered the buffalo burger, the buffalo meatloaf bowl, and duck tamales. It was all delicious. I also liked how they had a seating area for people over 21 and a completely separate section for families with children not at the legal drinking age. Different vibes for different needs but the same food served on both sides. As we continue our trip through the national parks, I find myself wishing often that more towns could have a restaurant with as much heart and flavor as this one. Definitely don’t miss out on a chance to eat here!
