History
edit.jpg)
Four blocks off of Main Street in Moab, Utah, Milt's Stop & Eat was open by Milt and Audrey Galbraith in September 1954. The Galbraiths moved to Moab during the town’s uranium boom and opened their restaurant the same year.[5] It is the oldest restaurant in the city and has largely remained the same as it was in 1954.[6]
Milt's was owned by the Galbraiths for over 27 years, and the couple continued to eat there until Milt Galbraith's death in 2014.[5] Danelle "Nellie" Ballengee and her husband BC Laprade bought the diner in 2007, and introduced buffalo burgers to the menu.[7][8][9]
