One of the best things about Utah’s national parks is that they’re so remote and vast, but that often means that your dining options are limited, especially during the off season. Here’s a little cafe in Springdale that’s the perfect place to stop while you’re visiting Zion National Park, and it has something to please every palate.
Oscar’s Cafe has been serving hungry visitors for more than 20 years, and it’s one of the most popular restaurants in all of Southern Utah.

…but when the weather’s nice, you’ll definitely want to dine on the patio. Enjoy the sunshine and fresh air that makes Springdale so wonderful!

Oscar’s opens bright and early at 7 a.m. for breakfast, and there’s something to suit every taste here. If you love Mexican food, you’ll want to sink your teeth into a breakfast burrito, smothered in homemade chili verde. If you’re more in the mood for traditional American fare, you’ll find pancakes, eggs, and bacon to get your day started right.

One of the things that makes Oscar’s Cafe so special is that you can get a wide variety of food here. While some restaurants specialize in burger, and others in Mexican food, Oscar’s has created a menu that has a little bit of everything on it - and it’s all spectacular.
