Me and my husband visited Jailhouse cafe for breakfast and we had to wait for about 10 minutes which is fine as it was packed. As we were waiting I sat there noticing that some of the customers were being seated on tables that were placed under a makeshift car port. As I was waiting I kept telling my husband... More

Service was great..no wait. Friendly waitress. Historic building. But, a $30 plus breakfast bill for 2 was a bit much. Eggs Benedict were okay...not awesome....2eggs over easy with sausage....not awesome. Hey, you are on vacation....

If you want a great breakfast go to Jailhouse Cafe. The service is out of sight and the food, oh so wonderful.

You get what you pay for. Excellent food at high prices. The Swedish pancakes at $11.25 were excellent. The Bacon and Cheddar omelet was great! Eggs, potatoes with a side of thick and tasty bacon rounded out our $36 breakfast for 3. Great little place with outdoor seating and a interesting history.

We were underwhelmed by every restaurant we went to in Moab and were surprised that so many Denny's quality places got rave reviews. We can only assume folks are desperate after a day of hiking, etc. But this is the real deal! Great food, high quality fresh ingredients, well-prepared. We'd go back here in our own hometown, which makes one... More

Our friend had eaten here some time ago, and remembered it as being pretty darned good . . well, the reputation was held up. The service, the food, the servers . . all great. Loved the southwest eggs benedict.

Excellent location, interesting building and story, great food except a bit pricey. A little too popular and waits are long during high season, but when you get a seat you'll love the breakfast.

Eggs Benedict are the hit, make sure you snatch a table early. We thought it was so, so, may be our palates were off. The coffee forgett about it, go across the street or to the Peace Cafe for a better brew (not necessarily a better breakfast).

The Chorizo Scramble was absolutely amazing, and others from my group enjoyed the Reg. Scramble, and Eggs Benidict. I am not much of a breakfast person (very picky, i'd rather make it myself), but one stormy morning camping on hwy 128, we made our way into Moab, and even with a large group, and somewhat of a wait time, the...

Best breakfast in Moab. The only thing negative I can say is I don't care for their coffee but in kind of a coffee snob.
