If you’re really drawn to that last one, you (and your palate) will love digging into the delicious flavor of Panguitch, Utah. This charming old-world town in the heart of Southern Utah has a scrumptious spread of delectable restaurants and quick local eateries to fuel whatever fun is on your itinerary. Because we know your mouth is already watering, here’s your guide to the best breakfast, lunch, and dinner on your next Panguitch getaway.

This charming cafe in the middle of North Main is known for specialty coffees and fresh breakfast fare that will always put some pep in your step. Their morning meals are made to order and feature classic staples like biscuits and gravy, fluffy omelets, and sweet cream pancakes. If you’re in a hurry (hey - the fish don’t bite all day), grab a fresh-made muffin or a chocolate croissant and a cup of house-made joe to-go.

Kenny Rays knows just how to help you rise and shine with hearty breakfast plates and side of hometown service. From red rock pancakes served hot off the griddle to grande breakfast burritos and Hoodoo French Toast filled with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, every dish is a tasty tribute to Southern Utah style. Just don’t forget to save room for a homemade cream pie!
Lunch
5 N Main St. Panguitch, Utah 84759
(435) 676-2290
This self-described “American and fusion cuisine” joint has a multi-page menu full of Southern Utah flavor. From staples like salads, sandwiches and pastas to southwest selections like Achiote Steak Tacos and Chicken Enchiladas, there’s something here for everyone. And with a welcoming small-town vibe in a convenient location right on Main Street, Backroads Bistro is the perfect mid-day stop to refuel and recharge in Panguitch style. Best of all, it’s just one block from our Panguitch Red Brick Home for a quick dine-and-dash between activities.
166 N Main St. Panguitch, Utah 84759
(435) 676-2731
Henrie’s is a delicious time capsule, radiating retro charm and serving up nostalgia with a side of fries. This old-fashioned diner has a bit of everything, from salads and sandwiches to fish and Mexican dishes. But Henrie’s is known for its famous chubby cheese burger, which combines 2 juicy patties, melty cheddar cheese, chopped onions, lettuce, and a big squeeze of Henri’s famous burger sauce. Wash it down with a classic vanilla milkshake that’s so thick it’s served with a spoon and without a lid.
Dinner
95 North Main Panguitch, Utah 84759
(435) 676-8030
With a name like Cowboy’s Smokehouse, you better believe they know a thing or two about great mesquite barbecue. All of their meats are slow-cooked over a mesquite wood fire, from tender pulled pork and juicy tri-tips to choice cut steaks and BBQ ribs. Pair your choice with traditional sides like baked beans, cole slaw, and fluffy baked yams, and top it all off with a tall draft beer from one of three local breweries. (And if you plan to have more than one, stay at Seven Gables to be just one street away so you can drink responsibly.)

Craving that perfect slice of pie? C Stop Pizza has been a Panguitch staple for 30 years thanks to its scratch-made sauces, handmade (and tossed) dough, and fresh local ingredients. They have all the classic flavors like pepperoni and supreme, plus signature pies like the C Stop Combo (homemade marinara sauce topped with pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onions, green bell peppers, fresh mushrooms & black olives) and the Pork-Y-Pine, a meaty masterpiece that boasts homemade marinara, italian sausage, smokey bacon, tender ham, fresh pineapple, and a toasted parmesan cheese crust. Book our Heywood Heritage Home to be a casual stroll away from C Stop and the center of downtown Panguitch.
