Snake Creek Grill

My favorite Utah restaurant! There just aren't that many places that make food that is to die for. This is one of the few. Their signature halibut is unbelievable. The spinach salad is the best I've ever had, and I've had plenty. The black bottom banana cream and the gingerbread cookies with homemade cinnamon ice cream always compete for my dessert affections. I've been several times--it's a 40 minute drive for us--and I've never been disappointed. The staff is loyal and attentive. The atmosphere is eclectic and comfortable, never stuffy. I LOVE this place. You must try it!

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

In my opinion the best food you'll find in Utah, period. As good as any restuarant in Park City, without the Park City attitude. Perhaps not the most romantic setting on a busy night, but the fact that you know about a fabulous restaurant tucked away in little old Heber City will make you seem like a real insider. Your date will be impressed.

Pros: Great food, good service, fun atmosphere.

Cons: the drive, but it's totally worth it!

My favorite restaurant, period. Subtle, surprising combinations of flavors. Deserts to die for. Friendly, attentive service. You can spend a lot more for a meal, but you won't get a better one.

Pros: Food, service, ambience

Cons: None to speak of

Snake Creek has at leat one thing that will keep us returning - the Gingerbread cookie sandwich. I'm not normally a fan of Gingerbread, but this is someting special. Warm soft cookies envelop normal vanilla ice cream with a slightly bitter (just the way it should be) caramel sauce for dipping. Other than that ... the halibut lacked flavor and was a bit dry. The sides were standard fare. I wouldn't necessarily consider this fine dining, but it is a lovely experience overall. I would go back but I certainly don't crave anything besides the gingerbread sandwich.

Pros: Gingerbread, Ice Cream, Sandwich

Cons: Loud, inconsistent, overpriced

The Snake Creek Grill has not only incredible food, but outstanding service as well. It is an all around pleasant experience. Highly recomended.

I often travel from Ohio to Utah in the summer, and Snake Creek Grill has become a "must" stop on my trip, despite being tucked away in Heber City. Its innovative blend of ingredients and creative preparations surprises and delights me every time. Think shrimp skewers on a bed of fresh shredded carrots and jicama withe avocado creme; or blue-corn crusted rainbow trout, or elegant tenderlorn of pork in Madeira with mixed mushrooms; or, when I'm HUNGRY, Belle Isle barbequed ribs with a side of calypso beans. And the world's best dessert--gingerbread ice-cream sandwich with caramel sauce. It's so good I'd like to keep SCG a secret--but it IS worth a trip!

The high reviews brought us there for dinner. The food was bland, and kids menu had only two choices. Fresh fish of the day was like fresh frozen and dry. The corn cakes were excellent but overall we were disappointed.

Pros: corn cakes, service, atmosphere

Cons: quality of food, price of food, selection of food

This is the place we go when we want comfort food. And every time we takle new guests they are amazed at the place. Barb is a superb chef and never disapoints. Even my kids ( who only eat burgers) love this place.

Pros: Trout, service

All I have to say is that Barb Hill is a virtuoso of the culinary arts. As a local, Snake Creek Grill is my favorite resaraunt by far. I have never left without a full and satisfied stomach. I highly recommend the ribs, the black bottom banana cream pie, and the lemonade in the summer. Excellent.

Pros: Food, Service, Everything

Get anything Barbara Hill prepares, especially the specials: appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It is worth the trip. Reserve one of the three booths.

Pros: Chef, Specials

Cons: Bread
