About

The timber walls and crackling log fire set the scene at this cowboy-themed steakhouse in the heart of Kanab. Iron Horse specializes in smoky barbecue and perfectly grilled steaks, with fall-off-the-bone ribs that consistently win over visitors. The menu covers all the hearty American classics you're craving after a day exploring southern Utah.

The Smokehouse Chips are a standout appetizer (trust the locals on this one). For mains, the top sirloin and half-rack of ribs with mac and cheese deliver exactly what you'd hope for from a place like this. They also pour a draft root beer that's become something of a legend among regulars. The pomegranate sangria offers a refreshing twist alongside the expected beer and wine selection.

The staff brings genuine friendliness to the experience, making families and road-trip groups feel right at home. You can grab a table on the outdoor patio or settle into the cozy interior dining room. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between casual and special occasion.

Iron Horse sits right in downtown Kanab, making it an easy dinner stop whether you're staying in town or just passing through on your way between Zion and other southern Utah parks. The restaurant takes reservations, which is smart during busy travel seasons when this popular spot can fill up quickly.

Stopped at Iron Horse Restaurant while spending the night in Kanab on a road trip, and it was a great find. I loved the western, Little Hollywood atmosphere. It fits the history of Kanab and gives the restaurant a fun character. I had the New York steak with a baked potato and vegetables, and it was really, really good. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portions were great. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you're passing through Kanab or staying for the night, I'd definitely recommend stopping here.

Great atmosphere, and the country fried steak and French fries were exemplary. And y’all would be five star all around, except we felt like we were a total bother to the wait staff: we were the only people in the restaurant at 11:35 AM, rang the bell at the counter several times, we finally got seated and it was like they forgot we were there, our water was never refilled, no one came by to see if we needed anything after our order was delivered, we had to flag the waiter down to pay and leave, another couple came in and rang the same bell and had to wait & wait to be seated. Hoping that you were short staffed, as we would love to return.
