A long day on the Green River, roaming the canyons and trails of the majestic Book Cliff Mountains, or fossil hunting at the Cleveland Lloyd dig site can up a might appetite. The City of Green River offers several restaurants to satisfy even the greatest appetite. Whether it’s a world class burger, a generously sized pizza, or just some good ‘ole home cooking, we have the place for you to satisfy your hunger.
Just looking to wet your whistle before you head back out into the desert canyons? Green River offers several establishments for both the family and the lone adventurer. If you have a few moments, have a seat in a local restaurant and enjoy the views of the cliffs or the river.
In a hurry? There are fast food eateries and convenience markets to grab an energy drink, soda or thirst quenching bottles of water on the way back onto the trail. In Green River, nobody goes thirsty.
