    Bluebird day at Snowbasin's Needles Lodge
    Wallace W.

    While skiing today, I and my friends stopped at the Snowbasin Needles Lodge for a quick break and bite to eat. At $8 the pizza price was a bit pricey, but then, again, the opportunity to get something or eat at 9500 feet in elevation is worth a great deal in itself. The servers are pleasant and best of all, there is a bar with a killer view overlooking the Huntsville valley below. And for $10, one can get a high point beer for the same price as a grocery store strength beer at the bottom lodge. Their cocktails look great too. They have two water dispensers in the seating area and nice hard plastic cups that they wash after each use. In the summer they serve a decent brunch too. It's a treat to have such a nice facility available for a mid day lunch and drink on the slopes.

    Okay wow. I barely have words. Sunday brunch is out of this world! They have so many stations , you are sure to find something for everyone! The Brussels, biscuits and gravy, cracklins, and prime rib were my favorite but honestly I didn't eat a single thing I didn't like! if you can get reservations here, do it! IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! The service was phenomenal as well. they have a dessert table (I loved the pistachio cupcake), they have a charcuterie station, omelet station, carvery, and several other stations just full of food. everything seasoned perfectly and all perfect temperature wise too. A lot of times at buffet style brunches, things are soggy or cold or taste like mush of flavors, but not snowbasin. They had people changing our food frequently and it showed! The only tiny downside is the alcoholic drinks weren't that strong but it's Utah and to be expected so no worries there. The view is also amazing if you've never eaten up there before. The patio was great and had good shade where needed. I wish snowbasin did this brunch all year around because it's an actual gem.

    This review is for the Sunday brunch buffet at the Needles Lodge up on the mountain. We had reservations and glad we did as it got so packed, it was fun taking the gondola up the mountain to see some great views. It was a little chilly on top though. We picked indoor seating, had the weather been a little warmer outside would be a nicer option. Lots of food stations throughout the lodge, my favorites were the crab benedict, steamed salmon, brussel sprouts, omelet, couscous, and peach cobbler. What was sad was the prime rib was cooked extra well done and very dry you can see in the picture. Service was lacking as we rarely saw anyone come to fill drinks or take away plates and since there were 6 of us in our party they automatically received a healthy tip for next to no effort on their part. When we took the gondola down the mountain there was a BBQ and blues festival happening and also looked fun. For sure will be back.

    Pricy, as expected, but well worth it to dry off, warm up and grab a drink/bite. We just got the nachos and they were really really great. The bartender made a great chocolate/coffee cocktail for me and my boyfriend just got a beer. Beautiful area to sit, take a breath, and really appreciate the views

    World-class dining with incredible views. You take a gondola to the top of the mountain to access it. I visit frequently in both the summer and winter for an experience beyond just the food. In the winter they operate both a cafeteria and a full service bar. In the summer they have a brunch buffet on Sundays and a lunch cafeteria on Saturdays.

    I've visited this lodge in the summer and winter and every time I go, it blows me away! The summer brunch is 10/10 with stunning views and beautiful weather. Don't even get me started about this lodge in the winter. It's the perfect place to grab a drink or something warm to eat and cozy up next to the fire. Everyone is so kind and the staff is helpful, can get a little busy in the winter weekends but they still get the food out fast!

    This is one of my most favorite escapes in Utah. For brunch in the summer or food in between laps in the winter - the views and eats can't be beat.

    Awesome place to eat at surrounded by beautiful views all around. You can eat inside or out on the patio which is just gorgeous. We were there for the Sunday brunch, reservations needed. Price for adult was $47 , youth (6-11) $22 and 5 and under eat free. This price includes coffee, soft drinks and the gondola ride you take to get to the lodge. Quality and choices available were superb and menu changes weekly. Service was great, bathrooms were very clean.

    Chicken Loaded Nachos- super tasty but not enough chips!!!
    Annie K.

    Came here towards the end of the day, so not much was open. We wanted a little snack, and ordered the chicken loaded nachos which was delicious but didn't give enough chips. Ordered the Apple Cider, but it tasted like hot water, maybe it was empty and towards the end of the day? Price for what you get, but it's a resort so expect it. However, still love the atmosphere and relaxing vibe of the upper dining hall. Fire place was only turned on, on one side, but still enjoyed it. It was definitely a slower day as it was snow storming outside.

    Many different foods price is a bit high that's because it's a resort. Concerts and venue is nice.

Some locals were playing pool and the waitress treated us like we were in that same category. Onto the food - they server two mains, burgers and hot dogs. We both went with the burgers. Cooked perfectly and we savored every bite. The wife went with a double cheeseburger with bacon and I went with the classic Star burger - two patties and a krautwurst. Notably my wife doesn't like bacon all that much but she ate every single bite of the double burger and did not even give me wee bit of bacon. Chips were chips, just fine. It is a cash only (and Venmo) and they even have an ATM, just in case. Have not seen one of those outside of Vegas in years. Can't say enough good things about stopping in to grab a burger or dog, soak up the atmosphere and just relax for it. Comprehensive beer menu but we did not partake that day.

We waited about a half hour to sit but it didn't feel long. I sat next to the cute bear they have in the waiting area/lobby. SERVICE: The servers there were quick to take our orders! The food did take awhile to come out though. But I get it as it seemed to be understaffed. I wished they had come around a bit more often to check up on us, but there was a lot going on which was definitely out of their control. It just left us waiting a long while. FOOD: The food was yummy! I got the Ranch personal pizza which has ranch dressing as the base, mozzarella, chicken, broccoli, grilled onions, bacon, and tomatoes. It was so hot, crispy, and delicious! Also got a nice side salad to get some greens in. I will be dreaming about the dessert for a long time! We got the Forbidden Apple that has vanilla ice cream rolled in brown sugar oats surrounded by sauteed cinnamon apples. Just amazing!! OVERALL: A cute local spot with lots to offer!

We were seated at a table in far end of the room. Once seated it's hard to get in and out from the wall seat because the table are pretty close together. I ordered the Spinach, Mushroom and Swiss 4 Egg Omelet. They asked me if I wanted 2 or 4 eggs and I chose 4. As a substitute for the potatoes, I opted to choose the avocado which came as a slice 1/2 of avocado. For my toast option, I chose the single pancake, but could also have chosen a scone. The scone wasn't on the menu as a option, so I missed this when I ordered. My omelet was very flavorful, although a bit dense. I attributed that to the 4 eggs fitting into a 2 egg form factor, but I really don't know that for sure. The avocado was a good complement to the omelet and worked out very well. The pancake was delicious. There was syrup on the table and butter came on the plate. I gobbled it right down and thought that I maybe should have got another one. I have eaten here before when I was in the area, and will likely return again when up here. The busy nature of the restaurant is offset by the good quality food.
