About

Step into The Dining Room at Parry Lodge and you're walking into a piece of Hollywood history. This isn't your typical small-town restaurant. The walls tell stories of the stars who stayed here when Kanab was the backdrop for countless Westerns, and the movie memorabilia creates an atmosphere that's both nostalgic and welcoming.

The menu goes well beyond standard fare. You'll find bison burgers and elk patty melts alongside beautifully presented dishes that blend unexpected flavors and textures. The kitchen takes care with presentation (those microgreens aren't just for show) and accommodates dietary restrictions without hesitation. Breakfast hits all the right notes with perfectly scrambled eggs, house-made biscuits and gravy, and crispy bacon in portions that won't leave you uncomfortably full.

What really sets this place apart is the service. Servers like Carla and Tawny genuinely care about your experience, engaging with warmth that feels authentic rather than scripted. They know the history, they know the menu, and they'll make your meal memorable for the right reasons.

The Dining Room serves as Kanab's reliable option when other places close early or take days off. Whether you're fueling up before exploring the slot canyons or winding down after a day at Zion, this lodge restaurant offers a dining experience that matches the area's cinematic legacy. It's the kind of place where a birthday lunch becomes a story worth telling.

When most other restaurants are closed in Kanab, The Dining Room at Parry Lodge has your back! Scrambled eggs were delicious (plenty of spots manage to mess this up), biscuits and gravy was great, bacon was nice and crispy. Portions are not huge which is a nice change of pace from the typical American dining experience. Highly recommend, especially off season.

We have eaten the seasonal buffet numerous times. The waitstaff and food were always at least 4 stars. We just had breakfast off their menu and we were shocked by the decline in service and food quality. There was only one table in the entire restaurant occupied when we arrived. The waitress was super slow. She did not bring us menus until after we sat down and ordered coffee. During the entire breakfast she never checked on us, or, replenished our coffees. She brought our food out in piecemeal portions. With only two other tables occupied. We came to the conclusion the managers must be using housekeepers as wait staff. The bacon was very good. The potatoes were hard dried up cubes. Uneatable.

They are never open on time and don't have the advertised breakfast buffet, food isn't that great either.

The breakfast buffet was amazing. The southwest eggs, French toast, maple bacon, biscuits… it was so delicious we ate here several times while in town. Plus the history of the former Star hotel guests was fascinating.
