Best WLM Reviews

We had passed by a few times and finally got a chance to park towards the end of the night. Still a 30 minute wait but it was worth it. My husband got the prime rib Moab style and I got the bbq pork chop. Top notch flavors. I really loved the pickle fries too. They have a great ranch too. I would come back if in the area. Our waitress was so warm and caring I felt like I was at my aunts cabin. She had really short cool hair cut.
Melinda made our experience over the top! The food was amazing we shared a house salad which was enormous for our appetizer my husband got the The Outlaw Pork Chop w/garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus, I got the honey lime siracha salmon w/ house sweet potato fries (which were delicious) and we were so full but we wanted dessert so we got the chocolate cake and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake to go! Go early it fills up fast the service was fast and so attentive!
I wanted to shout out the broken Oar on our recent Moab trip. My brothers and I went to the Easter Jeep safari and we ended up at the broken oar Saturday evening after a long trail ride.
The restaurant was busy but we sat down virtually right away- good timing. We had good service and great food. Everyone in our party loved their food and I would highly recommend the sweet potatoes. I personally at the Beast burger (broken oar style) cooked perfectly as I had requested.
If you’re in the area I highly recommend stopping in.
When there's a queue outside the restaurant, you know it's going to be good. And it is! Their sandwiches are excellent! Their five layer chocolate cake is divine. I went back the next day to eat there again. Highly recommended.
We got to the Broken Oar Restaurant in Moab a little before closing, but their service was awesome. Shay was our server. She did a great job "with love." Everything was good. The tables were a little close, but the rest was good.
You have to try the sweet potato fries. Sprinkled with sea salt, dipped in cinnamon sugar, drizzled with caramel, and topped with lemon zest, it was a yummy treat.
I had the beast burger Broken Oar Style. Amazing. If you like burgers, I recommend giving it a try. I was grateful I tried it. It is really big too. I wish I had room for desert, but between the side salad that was nearly overflowing the plate and the Beast Burger, it was all that I could eat. The onion rings that came with the burger were very good too.
You might get to see Mater too.
On a beautiful Spring afternoon, my best friend and I, along with our three energetic children, found ourselves adventuring through Moab Giants. Our journey took an unexpected and delightful turn when we stumbled upon The Broken Oar. Intrigued by its charm and novelty, neither of us having visited before, we decided to explore what culinary treasures awaited us.
Upon arrival, parking was a breeze, adding to our anticipation. The children’s excitement peaked at the sight of "Mater" from the beloved movie 'Cars,' proudly displayed in front of the restaurant, which made for an irresistible photo opportunity. With memories captured, we ventured inside, where, despite the bustling atmosphere, the welcoming staff swiftly escorted us to our seats. Our little enclave in the loft, complete with a long ample table, was perfect for our energetic kiddos.
The restaurant’s ambiance was immediately engaging and comfortable for us all, especially the kids. They were thrilled with their raspberry lemonades, coloring pages, and the warm interactions from every staff member who visited our table. Among them, our server Dakota stood out with her remarkable blend of friendliness, helpfulness, and accommodation, making our dining experience exceptional. Even I couldn’t resist sampling the raspberry lemonade, which struck a perfect chord between tart and sweet.
As for the meal, it was served with impressive timeliness, featuring flavors that seemed tailor-made for our post-adventure appetites. My burger was a savory delight, seasoned to perfection, while the sweet potato fries, a renowned specialty of The Broken Oar, offered a unique taste adventure with their zest seasoning and drizzle of maple syrup. The portion was so generous that I couldn’t manage to finish it. Remarkably, all three children relished their meals, a rare occurrence that spoke volumes about the quality of the food.
In conclusion, our impromptu visit to The Broken Oar transformed into a memorable outing, filling our afternoon with joy, delicious food, and the pleasure of excellent service, marking a perfect end to our day’s adventures in Moab.
Update May 2024: Once again, I found myself back at this remarkable establishment this month, at the request of my little one, during another delightful day trip to Moab. We were fortunate to have Shay as our server this time around. Her attentiveness and kind demeanor added an extra touch of warmth to our experience.
I decided to treat myself and indulge in a steak this time, and it surpassed all expectations! Expertly cooked to a succulent medium, I could only savor half before my 9-year-old polished off the rest, along with her kid's burger. A fun and memorable touch I forgot to mention in my previous review is that the kids' meals are served on frisbees, which the children can take home as keepsakes. Additionally, the kids' menu doubles as a coloring sheet, uniquely hand-drawn by the owner each year, showcasing a fresh theme.
We instantly remembered how much we enjoyed their lemonade and couldn't resist partaking in a Strawberry Lemonade (or two!) to hydrate after our Saturday adventure!
We were impressed by these thoughtful details, and learning about the creative effort behind them made the experience even more special. Another five-star visit, and we will undoubtedly return on our next journey to Moab.
Absolutely recommend! The food was awesome and fun atmosphere. Service was incredible - Shay took excellent care of us!
Peach Raspberry lemonade is not to be missed. Order the sweet potato fries with your dinner - they’re as good as they said. We got burgers and - wow - delicious, with the best ciabatta roll I’ve ever had. And excellent dinner in Moab!
From the second we pulled into parking lot, the atmosphere was awesome. The cheese curds and wings were great but the stars were the burger, chicken sandwich and chocolate cake. Each was perfectly cooked and absolutely palete pleasing.
