Moab Garage Breakfast Joint: Where Pancakes Take a Scenic Route

Picture this: you roll into Moab Garage, lured by the promise of a hearty breakfast to fuel your desert adventures. The vibe screams "quirky chic"—think reclaimed wood and a coffee bar that looks like it moonlights as an art installation. But hold onto your hat, because this place serves chaos with a side of syrup.

We ordered a simple spread: eggs, toast, and a stack of pancakes that could’ve doubled as a spare tire. Easy, right? Apparently not. Our order vanished into the Bermuda Triangle of their kitchen for a solid 40 minutes. I’m no chef, but I’m pretty sure scrambling eggs doesn’t require a UN summit. When we politely inquired, the server gave us a look like we’d asked for the meaning of life, then admitted they’d straight-up forgotten us. Classic.

The kitchen itself? Imagine a Muppet Show audition gone rogue—pots clanging, cooks sprinting, and someone yelling about missing bacon like it was a national emergency. It was almost performance art, if performance art made you hangry. When the food finally arrived, it was… fine. The eggs were sunny, the pancakes fluffy, but nothing epic enough to justify the wait or the existential crisis we endured.

Would I go back? Maybe, if I’ve got a podcast to binge and zero plans for the morning. Pro tip: bring a snack and a Zen mindset. Moab Garage, you’re a wild ride, but next time, maybe keep our...

I’m sorry, but after all the hype (online reviews and friend recommendations), this place was the biggest let-down of our 4-day trip to Moab. I LOVE ice cream. Sub Zero is my favorite so I was really excited to try another place that uses liquid nitrogen. First of all, I have a family of 7. I was shocked to pay over $40 for just one scoop for each of us. Granted they were in waffle cones. What I love about Sub Zero is the limit-less flavor combinations and choices of bases. Here I had only six choices, none of which sounded very appealing to me. Between the 7 of us, we tried 5 of the 6 available flavors. Mine was just plain gross. The rest were nothing special IMHO. I figured I would try something unique and different so I went with the blueberry basil. All I could taste was basil. It was like eating frozen spaghetti sauce.

I can see why others like it. We don’t drink coffee so I can’t judge that. We didn’t try any food. I really didn’t feel like dropping more cash there so really I can’t judge the whole experience.

If it were just my wife and I on a date, it would probably be a fun little place but this is definitely not the place to fill up the family after a good day of hiking. To me it is just a little hipster...

We like a good breakfast meal. Breakfast burritos are a favorite. We had been looking for something breakfasty. We had been to several places and all had stopped serving breakfast. We are late risers and it took us a while to get out this particular day. We passed this establishment a couple of times in our search for breakfast and decided to give them a try. I walked in and asked what they had for breakfast. The very young lady behind the counter started rattling things off and came to the breakfast burrito item. I said that's it. She asked if I wanted bacon with that and I said yes. We received our burritos piping hot and they were delicious. Some of the best breakfrast burritos we have ever had. We loved them so much that for the next few days we were in Moab we had a breakfast burrito from this establishment. They are so big the next few days we had them cut in half and that was more than enough for each of us. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I haven't tried anything else on the menu but, I'll bet it is...
