“ If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would do so. My wife and I came to Zion for vacation. We drove by and were immediately drawn to the atmosphere. It was right up our alley. Beautiful outside eating under the Utah sun in the middle of apple trees, green grass and endless views of the surrounding area. We went 2 nights in a row. The service was excellent by all but a special thanks to Ashley and Lisa who made our trip experience top notch. We enjoyed some amazing drinks. The strawberry basil margarita will drive you to drink more. And the food is astounding. The sexy wagyu beef burger, elk burger and bison stroganoff will have you coming back again. Just like it did us. The restaurant sits just outside of the busy touristy parts Zion. It just feels like home. ”
“ Absolutely incredible meal at Wild Thyme Cafe! This cozy gem in Kanab completely blew us away with its flavor, quality, and hospitality. We tried the Kanab Cowboy Ribs, the Pistachio Chicken, and the Salmon — and every bite was a delight. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and rich with that perfect hint of sweetness. The salmon was fresh and beautifully cooked, but the real standout? The Pistachio Chicken. Hands down our favorite — juicy, perfectly crusted, and bursting with flavor. It was unique, satisfying, and something I’d come back for again. ”
“ We had an absolutely perfect experience here tonight! Since we no longer drink alcohol, a large Mocktail menu always scores extra points. We both ordered the Wagyu Burgers and they were perfect as were the insane smash potatoes...like some of the best I’ve ever had. The score and vibe were warm and fun, including a sign when you enter that says unsupervised kids will be taught to swear. Our server Sumantha was also amazing. We actually plan to go back tomorrow night and try the steaks because we can’t imagine liking anyplace else nearby this much! ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised to find such a great restaurant in the Kanab! The steak was cooked to perfection, the pasta was trendy and had a clean, refined taste, and the pistachio chicken was crispy with a delicious cream sauce. If you're staying in Kanab, be sure to check it out :) ”
“ Perfect post hike lunch. We dined on the patio with our dog in tow and were thoughtfully offered a water bowl for her. Each server/employee we encountered was very friendly and genuinely happy to be of service. The food was fresh and tasty and the portions were generous. Thank you, WTC for being what every restaurant should be! ”
“ Traveling through the area and this place was recommended by the hotel staff. Cute little place, staff was very friendly. We sat outside since the weather was so nice. Had the Big Sexy Burger and Mediterranean salad with chicken. Both were very good. We didn't have dessert, but others near us did, and they looked amazing! I would definitely recommend this place. ”
“ It was such beautiful weather that we sat outside on the patio. The pistachio chicken and pork chop was delicious!!! And the Wasatch Polygamy Porter was amazing service was okay, not the most pleasant. Located right in downtown. Limited parking. ”
“ Yesterday, we visited a restaurant with the same name in Zion, and we were surprised to see another one on our way to Page. This time, each of us ordered different meals, and everything was delicious. We had a Mediterranean salad, salmon, ribs, ribeye steak, and pasta with chicken. The kids also ordered desserts, which were delightful! Great food, great service and atmosphere. ”
