Alfredo oily reheated garbage
Emmy's M.

We are staying at the red sands hotel attached to the restaurant and are pleased with the hotel so we decided to try dinner at the restaurant. We started with cups and queso and were bummed it was store bought chips and canned stale unflavored cheese. Yuck. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich with rice. The rice was bland literally no flavor, although it's advertised as seasoned rice. It is far from seasoned. I had the wedge salad and although it was not a wedge (it was chopped) I thought it was very tasty and fresh. The kids split Alfredo and when the waitress set the plate in the table i was appalled. The sauce was separated and very oily. I am a cook and can tell this was a reheat and a very bad reheat at that! Totally gross. I expressed my dislike for the kids food and the waitress laughed me off instead of addressing the pile of oily mush she set in front of my kids... at least the bread was edible. The wine was 8 bucks a glass and i got a 1/4 cup of wine in my glass... lame. Lastly the side salad came after the entrees and the "fresh" onion was translucent as if previously frozen. Gross! We will be eating outside the hotel for the rest of our stay.

Cheesy Tots
Maritza R.

Had dinner here last night. It was really good! They were about to close and they were able to accommodate us. This was the only place that was open and we were very thankful. I'm not sure if it's because of covid or the season but all of the restaurants were closed by 8/9PM. We ordered the cheese tater tots. They were delicious. The cheese was on the inside and they came with ranch. We also ordered two orders of the Chicken Alfredo Pasta. It was perfect. The fetichismos and chicken were great, I would consider it Cajun style. The employee who was handing the front of the house and gave me my food was friendly. They also seemed to have a great draft beer selection but I can't comment on that because sadly there were closing so I couldn't try any. Next time for sure!

Fresh jalapeño poppers. Yuuummmm

This was a real hidden gem for my friend and I when searching out dinner options after a long day of hiking, less than stellar lunch choices, and a later dinner in a super small town. We arrived around 8pm for dinner here and there were two other tables already dining but having received their entrees so the kitchen was not busy at all. We had already browsed the menu before arriving so had an idea of what we wanted and liked their local food sourcing, salad and healthy options. It looks like it's fairly new based upon photos and reviews and we could not have been happier with both the service and the food. Our server was very friendly and personable - I had a pineapple cream soda from their Stubborn soda brand and it was really very good. We also split the bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with a sweet glaze. They were two large peppers wrapped in bacon and lightly air-fried. Made fresh to order. Out in less than 5 minutes and absolutely delicious. Just enough heat with some sweet. I could've eaten 5 of them easily. We both chose the quinoa and couscous salad. It was light, fresh, and filling! Lots of fresh items inside the salad and a house-made light dressing on top. Really delicious. We saw a dessert tray after dinner and it had lots of things I could've eaten but I was stuffed! We browsed their breakfast items and our server made some suggestions on her favorites as well and they had some great options and good coffee as well. If you are in the area and hungry - this is the place to be.

A true hidden gem in Boulder, Utah!…read more Sweetwater Kitchen is one of those places that makes the journey part of the experience. Tucked away off Hell's Backbone Road, the setting is absolutely beautiful, and the combination of the rustic atmosphere, incredible views, thoughtful food and great cocktails makes this a place I would definitely return to. We had the Rainbow Trout Filet, which was pan-seared and served with celery root purée, celery, almond green beans, baby tendrils, sundried tomato, remoulade and lemon vinaigrette. It was beautifully prepared, fresh and full of flavor. The BBQ Rib Eye Pork Chop was incredible--so tender it practically melted in your mouth. It was pan-roasted with sage and a homemade BBQ glaze, accompanied by summer corn, pepper drops, caramelized onion and an apple chutney. The combination of sweet and savory flavors was fantastic. We also tried the corn chowder, which featured late-season corn, bacon and micro cilantro. It was a delicious way to start the meal, and the cocktails were definitely worth mentioning. The Mountain Spring cocktail was refreshing and perfectly suited to the beautiful mountain setting. The Sugar House Rum Prickly Pear cocktail was another favorite--such a fun, flavorful drink and a great complement to dinner. What really stood out was how much this restaurant feels like an experience rather than simply a place to eat. Sweetwater Kitchen embraces the area around it, with seasonal ingredients, locally sourced food and a relaxed ranch atmosphere. The restaurant describes its philosophy as seasonal cooking with ingredients at their peak, including ingredients grown or raised right on the ranch. (Sweetwater Kitchen) If you're exploring Boulder, Escalante, Capitol Reef or Scenic Byway 12, put Sweetwater Kitchen on your list. It's worth getting off the main road for! Beautiful setting. Excellent food. Creative cocktails. A memorable Utah dining experience.

Had two great meals here. We were lucky enough to be camping in their RV spot via Harvest Hosts…read more First dinner was a full blown taste test. We shared 2 appetizers, 2 salads, a steak and a dessert. Every dish was excellent. Second meal was to-go, burger, pork chop and another dessert. Fantastic. The burger was exceptional. Imagine a remote restaurant on a cattle ranch with a beautiful setting that just happens to serve amazing food. Not fancy but fancy food. Service was relaxed but not in a bad way. 1 person serving many tables in a relaxed and casual environment. It was perfect. Don't miss it!

We went into the bar and restaurant and were greeted by the hostess who asked for out IDs so she could scan them. (They scan everyone's ID, so be sure to have it with you when you go into the establishment. There is a large selection of draft beers. The menu is pretty large with everything from sandwiches to pizza and tacos. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and some carne asada tacos. The tacos were amazing and their pico de gallo was very tasty. The pizza was a good size for the price. This place is great. The food is tasty l, the beer is cold, and the seats are comfortable.

It is spacious inside with large tables and a friendly, welcoming staff. I had a margarita with my lunch; only one though because I was driving. It wasn't strong but was tasty enough. The beers are mostly domestic with only one micro brew selection but there were plenty of national brand choices. The food was home made and not bad for bar food. I had a Pittsburgh cheese steak sandwich that I thought was good. I ordered it with a side salad instead of fries as I had also ordered the loaded Pastrami fries which came with cheese, pickles and mustard on top. It was a bit too rich and heavy for my taste and the flavors didn't really work well together. Maybe without the mustard I would have liked it more. Not a bad place for a rest stop or a reasonable local hang out as well with some decent food.

I had the Cowboy Stew, a rich and hearty stew with corn, onions, peas, green beans, stewed tomatoes, and chunks of beef in a tomato/beef stock base. 100% legit, and a great way to feel like you're ready to hop on horseback in search of Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch's hideout outside of town (not lying about that, maybe the horseback part). My wife and I split the nachos, which were topped with some fantastic brisket and bbq sauce. No nacho cheese sauce used here, just solid melted cheddar, with housemade salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños. Highly recommend. This place looks like it's been here since the 1950s, and has plenty of western local flavor for the tourist looking for a fun respite from the long drive between Moab and Capitol Reef.

We enjoyed this place, and Hanksville! What a great little place nobody has heard of…read more We had several meals here over the course of a few days including breakfast and dinner. Everything was great and what you would expect from a diner / grill. The burgers had great flavor, the biscuits, bacon and eggs delicious and not dry and over done, and they kept the coffee coming. The BBQ Chicken and ribs were quite tasty as well. Kori, Pedro, and Sheila all took care of us a different times during our stay. Beer, wine and soda too, everything you need for a simple meal in the desert.
