About

Houston's Trail's End Restaurant is a Kanab staple for hearty American cooking in a Western-themed dining room, the kind of place locals send visitors when they want a real meal instead of a quick bite. With a 4.3 rating across more than 2,000 reviews, it's built a loyal following on generous portions and a menu that leans comfort food done well.

What to order

  • Chicken fried steak — the dish reviewers mention most, served with fresh-baked rolls
  • Sausage skillet at breakfast, a standout even for guests who don't usually order sausage
  • Chicken Alfredo and a BBQ chicken plate that regulars keep coming back for
  • Pie, if you've saved room

Service gets called out as attentive and quick to make recommendations, which helps on a first visit when the menu has a lot to choose from. Prices sit in the moderate range, and the space has an easygoing, been-here-forever feel rather than anything fussy.

Houston's is open Tuesday through Saturday, with shorter Saturday hours and closed Sunday and Monday, so it's worth timing a Kanab stop around those days if you're passing through en route to the North Rim, Zion, or Bryce. Call ahead for larger groups during busy travel season.

Best American comfort food I’ve ever had. Fries steak with gravy was so crispy and together with mashed potatoes was the best combo. The chocolate pie was humongous and even sharing with five people we could not finish

"Urban Toad" owner told me this was the spot to enjoy dinner at she was speaking the truth. The food portions are large and I have enough for tomorrow too. It was all so yummy. What a great experience. You will not go wrong eating here.

Our server Johna was amazing and done an amazing job. She was great about recommending what was good and she hit the nail spot on the head. Our meals were all fantastic!! Me and my wife had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious and I'd even say some of the best I've ever had!! My daughter is picky and got the chicken Alfredo with broccoli minus that nasty broccoli because she doesn't like it and said it was better than olive garden and I tried it and she was 100% right! That was some very tasty chicken Alfredo!! The served us rolls and you can tell they were freshly made and were amazing. I don't think I've ever highly recommended any place but I very very highly recommend going here and if Johna is the server even better!! Fantastic place and I'll for sure eat here again if I make it back down to kanab. I can't speak highly enough about everything here. Oh the table cloths are dated but who cares as good as the food and service was. Sadly I was too full to try their pie but I promise if it's a good as the rest was I missed out but I guarantee I'll be getting me some next time and we just might have to make a trip back down just for the food it was so good.

A nice place for anyone including vegetarians. I had a Chipotle bean burger with chicken noodle soup and my daughter had their Teriyaki chicken bowl with soup. Food was quick and cooked perfectly. Waitress was awesome.

The chicken fried steak was excellent, as was the Mac and Cheese and the loaded mashed potatoes! Friendly service, overall great place to eat.
