Zax Restaurant

About This Establishment

Zax Restaurant in Moab serves big flavors with a canyon-view backdrop. The Zax Burger stacks bacon, avocado, jalapeños, green chile and pepper jack for a hot, crunchy bite. Spin Art Dip arrives hot with parmesan and diced tomatoes, perfect for dunking with chips or pita, while Fish n' Chips deliver a beer-battered cod crust that stays crisp. Outdoor seating lets you chase the skyline light as you chow.
