St. George Restaurants That Locals Will TOTALLY WAIT For!

Imagine this... You're out with the family, and you stop in at a restaurant. You walk in, it's packed. The girl at the front tells you the wait is AN HOUR! Do you move on to another place? Do you sit and wait that hour before you can be seated?

Here is a list of St. George restaurants that are TOTALLY worth the wait! 

Silver Reef Brewery:

It's the BEST KEPT SECRET in Southern Utah! Hands down, the best restaurant in town. I've had 95% of the entire menu, and EVERYTHING I've had is incredible. The restaurant is right in the middle of an actual brewery, so there's not TONS of room to sit, which could bring a longer wait time. But I'm telling you... This place is 100000% worth the wait! They have everything from salads, to an amazing club sandwich, to steaks, burgers, fish, and chicken. It's absolutely incredible.

Sakura:

I'm not sure I've ever been to Sakura and there HASN'T been a wait... and for good reason! Sakura is dinner and a show every night. The food is KILLER, and 100% worth the wait. Sometimes the wait can reach up to a few hours too, so think ahead and try to get your spot reserved EARLY! The hibachi steak, rice, soup, EVERYTHING is so great.

Bishop's:

You could be surprised to see Bishop's on this list, but it absolutely deserves to be there. Bishop's now has two locations (Washington & Off Sunset BLVD), and it's one of my favorite breakfast stops in town. Make sure you try the Scones, okay? You can thank me later!

First Watch:

First Watch is a hot brunch spot in St. George. They're off north Bluff Street by the Sunset Megaplex. There's usually always a wait there, but it's really worth it. I've only ever gotten their breakfast before, but when you find something amazing, you should stick with it. They've got great Seasoned Potatoes, toast and jam, eggs, sandwiches, everything. First Watch is absolutely worth the wait.

Red Fort:

Another place that usually has a wait is Red Fort. Red Fort is an Indian Restaurant, and if you've never had Indian Food, Red Fort is the place to try. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous my first time trying it, but I was BLOWN AWAY! This place's wait is usually pretty quick, and the food is always worth it!

Rib & Chop House:

Rib & Chop House, located by the Dixie Convention Center is a nice place for a date. It feels a little nicer than most places. I was fully expecting this place to be incredibly expensive, but it wasn't! It was totally affordable, and the food was REALLY GOOD!

Cliffside:

Cliffside Restaurant, located up high by the old airport is a place EVERYONE needs to try. The food is really good, but it has the BEST VIEW in the entire area! They've won tons of local awards, state awards, even national awards! Head up the hill and try Cliffside. You will love the experience.
