The Golden Loop

We were hungry when we got to Escalante for breakfast, having ridden from Bicknell. We thought the food was good. Nice fluffy pancakes. Then I went to the rest room. I personally stomped 3 cockroaches dead in there. Another roach was already flat before I arrived. Very gross. You know those glass syrup dispensers with the chrome thumb-operated sliders on top? All of the sliders were missing on the dispensers. I did not have the nerve to unscrew a lid and look inside.............

this place sucks. I got a chicken sandwich, expecting a normal grilled chicken sandwich and got something that was more fried than chicken and looked less healthy than a mcdonalds order. Grossss!

Escalante is a town where thousands of tourists go through between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Park. Even if there is no care what a tourist has to say--one who will stop there only once or maybe twice in their life--there should at least be some quality control for the sake of the people living in that god forsaken town.

The walls of the Golden Loop are plastered with nasty, bad attitude "bitch signs". Maybe one or two is funny, but not every single blank spot on the wall. The food, horrific. Granted I was expecting bad canned tuna laden in mayo when I ordered my tuna sandwich but I did not expect an option of wheat or white which caught me by surprise. But she served it on Wonder Bread anyway, with more mayo slathered on the bread. G ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and got a bacon sandwich. The bitches give you what food they feel like making. The bitch wallpaper should have been an indication.

If you find yourself in Escalante, bear the hunger growl in your stomach and go down the road about 20 minutes. There is a lodge/cafe place sitting at the corner of a switchback. No, we did not eat there, but the view was breathtaking which sometimes makes your food experience better.
