Zion Canyon Pub Fries

If you’ve ever visited Zion National Park, you may have enjoyed Zion Canyon Brew Pub’s signature Pub Fries. This hearty and flavorful dish is a local favorite, and the perfect way to refuel after a long day of hiking or climbing.

We visited the Brew Pub twice during our trip to Zion. Its convenient location at the park’s entrance. The restaurant is divided into two sections: one side serves alcohol only, while the other offers a full menu. Both sides boast outdoor patios with stunning views of The Watchman and other iconic Zion landmarks.

Zion Pub Fries Recipe

Inspired by the Brew Pub’s delectable appetizer, I’ve crafted a recipe you can enjoy at home. Although you can certainly make your own homemade French fries, we’re using frozen fries for ease of preparation. This is a dish you may want to begin a few days before enjoying, since the jalapeño bacon jam takes some time to prepare.
