“ Tucked away on the bustling corner of 2 W St. George Blvd, George’s Corner Restaurant is a charming nod to the town’s storied past, evoking the spirit of the original Big Hand Café from the 1930s. This family-owned gastropub blends quirky nostalgia—think black-and-white photos of yesteryear St. George lining the walls—with a vibrant, laid-back vibe that’s perfect for locals and travelers alike. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast amid the morning buzz or settling in for dinner under the stars on their outdoor patio, the atmosphere feels welcoming, like stumbling into a friend’s lively kitchen. The menu is a love letter to American comfort food, elevated with fresh, local twists. Start with the crispy salmon sliders, their flaky fish paired with zesty slaw that bursts with citrus notes—pure perfection for sharing. For mains, the Philly steak sandwich is a standout: tender, shaved beef piled high on a toasted hoagie with melted provolone and caramelized onions, served with truffle fries that add an indulgent crunch. Vegetarians rejoice—the black bean burger is hearty and flavorful, topped with avocado and chipotle aioli, proving plant-based can be downright decadent. Don’t skip the tableside steak preparation if you’re feeling fancy; watching the chef sear that premium cut right at your table turns dinner into theater. Service here is the real MVP: attentive without hovering, with staff who remember your name and preferences, making you feel like a regular on your first visit. Portions are generous, prices reasonable (entrees hover around $18-28), and the craft beer selection pairs flawlessly with everything. On a recent Friday, live music from a local acoustic duo filled the air, transforming our meal into an impromptu celebration. If you’re exploring Southern Utah’s red rock wonders, George’s Corner is your savory pit stop—unpretentious, delicious, and utterly memorable. Five stars; we’ll be back for those pork chops next time! ”
“ We went with friends from out of town on a Thursday night because we had noticed that was a time when they had live music. Even though the place was packed, we felt like we got very attentive service. The food was all excellent, and the beers were outstanding! ”
“ Second time having breakfast here, this time with my kids and everyone really enjoyed their food. Service was great and friendly, prices are good and quality is excellent. Haven't had lunch or dinner here, so can't comment on that, but for breakfast? Highly recommend! ”
“ Beautiful restaurant in charming ancestor Square that just adds to the warmth and ambience of the restaurant. The waitress and hostess welcome us and we’re very friendly as soon as we got in. The service was superb and the food was Fingalicking delicious. We especially recommend the double latte avocado toast and Huevos Rancheros. We love the fact that they would allow dogs on the patio. ”
“ Wanted a smaller meal so I could also enjoy a bit of dessert. My waitress, Tori, was very helpful with her suggestions. Had strawberry rhubarb "pie" for dessert. It was served in a dessert cup,very warm. It was wonderful. My salmon slider sandwiches were delicious. So many choices to consider, regular menu items and specials. The atmosphere is quite pleasant, with old photos on display as well as two videos of several old photographs being shown simultaneously. Nice place to enjoy a drink with your meal, family and friends. ”
