Visitors to Cedar City
Visitors always want to know where the good places are to eat. Here are the local restaurants we think are worth trying out. Cedar City is loaded with many fast food options, but we are only citing local (a few regional), personal favorites. Restaurants close somewhat early – often 9PM, so if you’re not sure, best to give a call first. Also, most restaurants are closed on Sunday, but we have indicated the exceptions. We like a cocktail with our meal too, so we are also noting if alcohol is served. Pretty much everything is casual here, but you might step it up a bit for Chef Alfredo's.
​
Brick House Cafe
435-586-5344, 86 S Main St.
CLOSED Sunday
Why we like it: Great sandwiches and burgers, homemade French fries and sweet potato fries with caramel sauce (that’s right), salad bar. Also, homemade fudge. This restaurant is fairly non-descript from the outside (VERY deceiving), but it is spacious, and country store-cute on the inside; no alcohol.
Bruno’s, Italian
435-867-4477, 1744 W Royal Hunt Dr.
CLOSED Sunday
​
Why we like it: This restaurant might be in the Chevron, but the food rivals any with starched tablecloths and awesome wine lists; no alcohol.
Centro Woodfired Pizza
435-867-8123, 50 W Center St.
CLOSED Sunday

Why we love it: Atmosphere, fresh ingredients, creative pizza combinations; wine and beer.
Chef Alfredo Ristorante Italiano
435-586-2693, 2313 W 400 N Ste 1

The French Spot, light French fare, al fresco dining
347-886-8587, 5 North Main St.
Limited hours off season, so call to be sure. OPEN Sunday AM

Why we like it: Fresh, light fare–breakfast, soups, salads quiche, desserts. HOWEVER, this summer they had steak and salmon dinners that we are told were amazing. This is an outdoor venue; no alcohol.
The Grind Coffeehouse
435-867-5333, 19 N Main St.

​
Rusty’s Ranch House
