Cactus Room

"Amazing!!!!!! A highlight of our holiday in Utah. This is an unassuming-seeming place, but it will blow your mind. At first glance, it seems like a kitchy sort of hole in the wall...but it's also the best food, best service, and loveliest native art gallery. Absolutely fabulous meal. There are great vegetarian options too, but they're not on the posted menu, so make sure you ask. Don't skip dessert! A true family business - the chef and his daughter were working the day we came and made us feel so welcome. Ask about the art if you have time, Bob the chef knows all about it!"

"The buffalo and the beef burger were delicious! Even our vegetarian friends liked the veggie steak sandwich and the veggie burger. The keylime pie is a must have - but it was too much whipped cream on it for my taste. The homemade coleslaw was awesome and with Great service and entertainment we have received the ideal taste of beer. Only the restrooms were a mess…"

"I don’t know how to describe my experience at the Cactus Room other than it’s a scam. Bob, the owner, went on and on about his dessert menu. He said all of the pies were made that morning, and his favorite, apple pie, was his grandmothers recipe. Each slice of pie cost about $9, which is steep, but I was willing to pay after the raved about his homemade pies. When we got the pies they were Marie Calendar pies (we saw boxes in the fridge while leaving the restaurant). He just adds tons of whipped cream and powdered sugar on top to ensure the desserts are unrecognizable. Additionally we ordered bobs famous buffalo burgers. He went on and on about how they were locally sources and cooked to perfection. After trying the burgers I am highly skeptical. Also he didn’t let us put ketchup on the burgers or fries????? Finally, because this restaurant is also an antique store (???) I noticed a turquoise ring that I really liked and thought was absolutely beautiful. Bob PROMISED me the turquoise was real and vintage and the 90% of profits go back to the native community. I spent $90 on the ring only to discover later that it’s a fake. Quite honestly I feel robbed."

"Bob is a fantastic host who passionately serves delicious food. The salad was fresh and tasty. The bison burgers are exquisite. They really pay attention to ingredients and cooking style. The dessert was delicious as well. Highly recommend."

"Tired after a day hiking in Zion? Come see Bob. He made one of, if not the, best burgers I have ever had. The fries were delicious and hand cut. We were strictly told NOT to put ketchup on the burgers, as that would ruin his masterpiece. He was correct. I also got a local beer (delicious) and though we were too stuffed for desert, he had a list of about 8 homemade pies of the day. It's hard to have a perfect 5 star rating and let me tell you, none of that rating is going to the atmosphere of the restaurant, which was eclectic to say the least. All five stars are earned from the delicious meal and the colorful chef!"
