Kanab's favorite grilled cheese and ice cream stop
Brown Box Cafe is a bakery-cafe on Kanab's main drag that's turned into a local favorite for good reason: 4.9 stars across 617 reviews is a rare number for any restaurant. The menu runs on grilled cheese sandwiches built up with extras like caprese, bacon, and popper fillings, plus soups, fresh salads, and a rotating case of house-made ice cream in flavors like peanut butter and cookies and cream. Save room for a kanookie, their build-your-own skillet cookie, if you're in the mood for dessert.
Kanab sits roughly 80 miles from the North Rim, making it the fuller-service base camp for a Grand Canyon trip and a natural stop on the way in or out. Brown Box leans into that role well: sandwiches and soups are quick enough for a lunch break between drives, the shaded outdoor tables make for an easy breather, and the space doubles as a bit of a community hub, with local art and event posters on the walls. Online ordering is available for anyone short on time.

I'm so glad we found this place, but sorry we weren't hungry enough to order anything else. The ice cream was fabulous, and the two ladies who served us couldn't have been nicer. We loved the atmosphere and the mission! Thank you for the good work you are doing. I am a former Special Educator from Baltimore who specialized in placing students with disabilities in the community in jobs, so this touched my heart. Thank you for the good work you are doing!!
