Milt's Stop & Eat — Restaurant in Moab

It should be mentioned first that we found the comfort food served at Milt’s to be so satisfying we returned the following night.

This eatery is like a step back in time to an American burger stand based on quality ingredients and simple presentation. The four of us chose to enjoy a variety of their burger selections, including a cheeseburger with brisket, a cheeseburger with egg and bacon, a simple cheeseburger, a cheeseburger with pulled pork.

In addition the fries are superior. They are thin slices of russet potatoes deep fried to a perfect texture. The second night we also had a basket of fries topped with bar-b-q brisket. It was so much it was breakfast the following morning for one of our party.

The milk shakes were creamy and delicious, so thick we had to request additional straws. The shakes we ordered included cinnamon chocolate, peach, Oreo, coffee. Each one was rich in flavor as it was in texture.

Saw a couple patrons enjoying their Wagyu hot dogs. They looked delicious and one of them ordered a second to take home. But Dessert was a treat. Each night we shared a brownie sundae that was so decadent it fed four of us.

It should be mentioned how pleasantly and welcoming was William, who took the orders and was managing the place. Don’t know if he was the owner, but he certainly demonstrated all the qualities of a caring proprietor. Our second night we witnessed four young boys, who worked for Americorps, step up to the window to order food. One of the boys mentioned he didn’t have money to pay for a meal, and when the meal was picked up this boy was surprised to find a burger and fries provided gratis. The teenager couldn’t be more thankful, and William simply said “you are welcome.”

As someone who has spent a lifetime owning and consulting restaurants, this unassuming dining outpost was both surprising and elevating for the homage it presents to quality no matter the price. If ever in Moab, I recommend a pilgrimage to this unpretentiousness salute...

After a day with the kids at Arches, Milt's is a great place to do lunch. You won't find this burger stand along the main street with all the other restaurants in Moab. This unassuming burger stand is tucked away on a side street, but it's definitely worth a visit.

We ordered a BLT, Bacon cheeseburger, Rodeo Blue cheeseburger (BBQ, bacon, blue cheese, jalapeño, onion ring), Elk cheeseburger, brisket cheese fries, Root beer float, and a Cherry coke float. I was thankful for the free water and cups which was available from coolers.

As you can see from my pics, they weren't much to look at BUT make no mistake, they were all very delicious! There were no complaints from anyone. Big winners were the Rodeo Blue cheeseburger and brisket fries. The cherry coke float even had cherry ice cream in it. The elk cheeseburger was a little dry, but that's expected from elk, a very lean animal. Just grab some ketchup packets.

There's no inside seating, but that's ok, there's several picnic tables nearby on top of Astro turf, a couple under a large tree which gives comfortable shade. The one thing that my family found annoying were the flies (summer 2024). We choose a table somewhat nearest to the metal garbage cans which were teeming with flies. I suggest to the staff to cover those cans or get the usual fast-food-style garbage cans and regularly empty them out. The flies started to swarm our table and our food, making it difficult to eat at times.

Choose a table far from the flies and you'll have a great time with friends and...
