Best Restaurants in Springdale Utah (Zion National Park)

 After living and working in Zion National Park for over six months, I’ve curated a list of  the best restaurants in Springdale Utah.

Being a foodie myself, I made it a mission to find the best spots for all things coffee, beer, and food related in Springdale.

With the town being heavily trafficked due to its location at the mouth of Zion National Park, there are an array of restaurant options ranging from casual options to upscale dining experiences. If you’re looking for Springdale’s most delicious eats (and drinks) you’ve come to the right place.

Here are my favorite cafes and restaurants in Springdale Utah: 

Oscar’s Cafe – Best Breakfast in Springdale Utah

Oscar’s Cafe is so good you’ll most likely visit twice…or more while in town. It’s also what I would consider to be the best restaurant in Springdale Utah for breakfast and they even serve a delicious lunch and dinner too. Oscar’s offers outdoor patio seating and indoor seating with a menu featuring gigantic breakfast burritos smothered in verde sauce, fluffy pancakes, and crispy bacon. Their breakfast menu also features authentic southwestern huevos rancheros and the most delicious iced lattes that will be sure to fight off the morning desert heat. Their lunch and dinner menu grows even more extensive than their breakfast menu which features sandwich melts, giant burgers, nachos, salads, and southwestern specialties. Oscar’s is the place for you if you’re looking for delicious Tex-Mex food with a laid back vibe and huge potions.
