The food is tasty - the sweet and sour "chicken" was delicious!! And the salad bar is great! This is buffet style so "service" is keeping things stocked and available then gathering dishes if you opt to sit longer. The atmosphere is pretty simple - almost summer camp style as most patrons are staff or volunteers at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. And the view of Angels Canyon from the dining patio is amazing!! For the price you CAN'T go wrong! Fresh coffee is available all day for staff and volunteers too ☕

This place had a fantastic view. The food was all good, and the salad bar and deserts were especially delicious. Great options for vegans and supporting animals. You also can’t beat the price. Definitely worth checking out and maybe even volunteering.

Lunch with a gorgeous view and my dogs. Had spaghetti which was delicious. It is served buffet style and all vegan options. Look at the website as main dish changes but they post the menu. Dogs welcome on the patio. Good food, great people, good cause.

Love grabbing lunch here. Amazing views and Animal people are my people. The staff is wonderful, they make you feel like family. All vegan options. I'd like to see more gluten free options but I always get something I can enjoy!

It's hard to find all-you-can-eat buffets any more, but one that charges only $5 per person is an amazing thing indeed. The food is all vegetarian or vegan, but it's still tasty, diverse, and plentiful. And the views simply cannot be beat. It might even be worth just making the trip off the main road itself.

Best view of anyplace near Kanab! You cannot beat the $5 price either - BUT - please know this is an opportunity to donate to the sanctuary. We put at least $10 more EACH in the donation box by THE REGISTER, because the food and staff were amazing. AND, it’s a buffet. YOU TOTALLY GET at least, $10 worth of food and service there. Help them help the animals. Don’t be cheap.

Views are amazing!!! Its all vegan, but I couldnt taste the difference. The lasagna was great! ...the back story behind the location is definitely worth checking out, too.

Open for lunch everyday 11:30am - 1pm.
$5 vegan lunch buffet with a million $ view.
Menu changes daily so check the website before your visit. The salad bar is unrivaled in the area and the staff is great. If you have any dietary questions or concerns, you can just call ahead and they will do their best to accommodate.
Free coffee available from 7:30am-2pm, so even if you're not going for lunch I would encourage everyone visiting the Sanctuary to at least go and see the view from the patio. It is quite dramatic.

The Angel Village Cafe is located on the grounds of the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. It is vegan which is appreciated at an animal sanctuary. They have reduced hours due to Covid19 so it’s open from 11:30 am-1:00 pm daily.
Orders must be placed by 9:30 am the day of and by orders I mean you just let them know via their website how many meals you want and the name of the person picking up. You can also order a few days in advance.
You just show between those hours to pick up, provide your name and pay $5. Each meal is pre-made and packaged in sections so the entree with side will be in a plastic container which you collect at what was the buffet table and then you go to another area of what was the buffet table to pick up your salad and dessert.
The food even at 11:30 am is already cold and there’s no microwave. Some of the food is not edible and the descriptions don’t always match what you get. For example what they call a pot pie looked and tasted like something regurgitated by a cat. See attached photo.
The onion soup was just a salt shaker in cold liquid with a pile of onions. Absolutely disgusting.
The cheeseless pizza was pretty good but again, cold. The spaghetti was literally hard as a rock and cold.
What is good is the sesame ginger dressing, they have brownies and fruit for dessert as well as ice water, coffee and tea.
Food is pretty bad. Value (if edible) is great. View is amazing. There also have bathrooms inside and disposable utensils.
Staff wasn’t friendly.
Problem is you’re stuck with it as there’s nothing else for the staff and volunteers. My advice: pack your lunch.
