Snake Creek Grill

Perfect atmosphere for a "nice" dinner

by Cheri H

This place has a terrific "feel" to it. It's warm, it's clean, and it's positive all-around. Snake Creek Grill has the capability of being either intimate or casual, depending on your mood or your company. The food was excellent, and the service was high above average. The fact that it's tucked away in Heber Valley only adds to the ambiance. We will definitely suggest this restaurant to friends, family, and strangers alike- as well as return again for a wonderful dining experience.

• Pros: Good energy

Best Food in Utah

by UtahMom

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

Locals call it the best Park City restaurant--but it's not in Park City.

by Contributor

In Short
Located in the former Heber Creeper Railway Village, this turn-of-the-century-style building is has earth-toned sage-green and yellow walls and wide-planed wood floors. The decor also features stagecoach booths and prairie-style furniture. Hearty meat dishes, rich vegetarian risottos, salad combinations and spiced-up fresh fish grace the menu. The crisp corn cakes with sweet pepper cream and spicy grilled shrimp is a signature dish, as are Belle Isle baby back ribs with mopping sauce and slaw.

Well Worth the Drive to Heber City!

by southwmj

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!

Gourmet food without the gourmet restaurant "attitude."

by dcjim

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

Good, but far from the best...

by emmahale

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.

Fresh comfort food from scratch--I love it!

by jawatson

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!

Big let down

by jaangus

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

Still #1 in my book

by eminipro

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
