Jailhouse Café

Overview

About This Establishment

The Jailhouse Café wears its history on the plate and in the air. Southwestern Eggs Benedict arrives with a chipotle hollandaise that delivers smoke and heat, while eggs stay tender and potatoes crackle at the edges. Ginger Pancakes with Apple Butter cut through with bright spice, and the Breakfast Burrito piles in the heft. This is Moab breakfast energy with character—worth the calories before you hit Arches.
