A perfect stop with unexpectedly great food Stopped into the old lodge to wait out the end‑of‑day ski traffic and ended up having a far better experience than expected. The food was fantastic, made with care, and far above what you usually find in a mountain lodge setting. The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and seemed to take real pride in the place. The dining room and bar have a rustic charm that feels authentic rather than staged, which adds to the overall atmosphere. A memorable stop and absolutely worth returning to. read more

I chose Silver Fork because I've had good experiences there in the past and wanted to make a good impression during a special evening with my girlfriend and her daughter before she returned home. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. We ordered a bison burger with fries, pulled pork poutine, and blue corn nachos. The fries were limp and cold. The nachos arrived with regular corn chips instead of blue corn and were also cold. The pulled pork poutine was cold as well, and the burger was overly salty. What made the experience worse was the lack of service. We waited about 30 minutes without being checked on while the manager appeared to visit other tables. After flagging down a server, it took additional time before we were assisted. I understand that restaurants can have off nights, but this visit fell well below expectations -- especially given the price point and past experiences. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the location and atmosphere have always been a draw. read more

The Banana's Foster French toast is unreal -- perfectly indulgent, rich, and balanced without being too sweet. It's the kind of dish you think about long after you leave. The arugula egg salad was just as impressive: fresh, flavorful, and a lighter option that still felt special and thoughtfully made. The cozy mountain lodge atmosphere makes the whole experience even better, and the staff is warm and welcoming, adding to the charm. This is one of those places that feels like a true Utah treasure. Worth the drive, worth the stop, and absolutely worth the five stars. read more

I ordered the corn hash and was a little unsure because of the name, but it didn't seem to have any corn--and I really liked it. It came with bread and two eggs, which made it filling. We also tried their house sourdough pancakes, and they were surprisingly good--almost like a protein pancake The atmosphere is amazing. Driving up the canyon feels like stepping into a totally different place. I come about once a year, and it's always a great experience. Service was above and beyond- they even gave us a little tour after we ate. read more

We love avant- ski at silver fork. Great place to get a hearty breakfast with attentive fun staff and delicious food. We enjoy sitting by the crackling fire in winter, and the patio in summer so you can watch the hummingbirds flit about. read more

We were the first guests to stay in the newly renovated Silver Lodge, and it made for the perfect, relaxing staycation. Our room was cozy, the TV was large, and having a restaurant right downstairs (with breakfast included) was a great bonus. The location is also ideal, just minutes from the ski resorts, which helps you beat the traffic. For dinner, we tried the recommended bison burger and red pepper pasta. Both were good, but what we'd truly come back for is the breakfast. It was incredible-- steak and eggs, bananas foster French toast, and both regular and mint hot chocolate (the regular was our favorite). We'd definitely recommend staying here or stopping by for breakfast. The servers were friendly, and we even met the new owner, who was wonderful to talk to. read more

We stopped by this place on a recommendation. When we arrived they were switching over to lunch and made us wait 20 minutes before seating us. Once we did get seated, we were outdoors and surrounded by nature. It was so beautiful and the little squirrel was entertaining. The service was really great except the server forgot a couple of things and had to be asked multiple times. The Bison burger was perfectly done and very filling. I actually gave half of it to someone else in my party. The sauces and cheese on the burger was a nice change to the standard burger but make sure you're willing to try something new if you haven't before. The golden beet salad was refreshing and huge, definitely shareable. It had sweet spicy walnuts with arugula and maple vinaigrette and the person in my party said "it was the best salad I ever had." We also shared the nachos which were made with blue corn chips, cheddar, beans and the cilantro lime creama was really good and a different take on the regular nachos. It came with a side of salsa that was also very good and fresh. I definitely recommend! read more

Not Safe, Do Not Stay Here I do not recommend staying at Silver Fork Lodge due to serious safety concerns. I arrived around 9:30 PM and found the lodge's main door wide open. The lock was extremely flimsy--something that any person or even a large animal could easily break. There was no one on-site to check me in, and the phone number listed for the lodge is no longer connected. When I tried calling, I received a message saying the number was not valid. The location itself is very isolated, with no nearby residences or visible staff, which made the situation even more concerning, especially at night. This is not an Airbnb, yet the "host" only sent a brief text message with check-in instructions while I was still on my flight and then completely disappeared. After finding my room and attempting to settle in, the atmosphere felt unsettling. I repeatedly heard scratching sounds coming from the wooden walls but couldn't identify the source. Certain areas of the room were noticeably colder than others for no apparent reason. Whether explainable or not, the overall experience felt unsafe and uncomfortable. Due to these concerns, I decided to leave and stay in Salt Lake City instead. The lack of security, absence of staff, disconnected phone line, and isolated location make this place feel neglected and unsafe. Safety--especially at night--does not appear to be a priority here. I strongly advise travelers to avoid this lodge and choose accommodations with proper security, staff presence, and reliable communication. read more

Wait wasn't bad especially on a weekend where the weather was beautiful. The staff were very attentive despite juggling so many people we were so quickly inside, which was so beautiful. We are looking forward to next opportunity when we can sit on the patio. Breakfast feels like the best time to go. The famous cinnamon roll, spoke for itself. came as an appetizer It was absolutely delicious. Warm and fresh with some butter melted on top. Would recommend. The sourdough pancakes were divine. Always cool to try someone else's discard as a DIY baker myself. Ordering the side of berries was the move. Perfect summer fun time breakfast in the mountains. read more

I was standing in line at a post office, shipping a box home to Florida full of clay and glazes from my pottery conference & struck up a conversation with a local who told my to take this drive up the mountain and have lunch at the Silver Fork. It was Saturday and I was winging it- so I went! It was snowing up at Silver fork & the snow was piled high in front of the windows from the parking lot being cleared. Once inside I spotted the featured cocktails with a Hot Toddy listed right at the top- hmmmmmm- yes please. I ordered their meatloaf plate with real mashed potatoes and veggies and just had a great, comfort foodie, meal! The hot toddy was delicious and perfect! The meatloaf surprised me with gravy and tomato sauce! Everything was delicious. Service was stellar too and I saw other plates coming out of the kitchen- all huge portions! This lunch fed me for dinner too- there was a ton of food. I loved the outdoor patio too, even though the weather wasn't patio friendly- the views out back were lovely. I also loved the cozy cabin vibe including the furs draped over some of the dining room chairs. Attention to detail- I love that! read more

I cannot express how good this place is. It blew our minds! We did a last min booking to enjoy some of the ski resorts in the area and let me tell ya, this restaurant at this lodge is incredible! They offer free breakfast in the mornings as an overnight guest and the portions to the options are wonderful! We stayed in a two twin room and let me tell you, it's an old log cabin style. Nothing fancy but clean bathrooms, clean bedding and that is all we needed! The service is so friendly and warm, I'd hands down recommend staying here. I believe the overnight rates are extremely fair, we paid just under $200 a night. The UTA bus stops literally right in front of the lodge, takes about 5 min or less to get to Solitude without traffic! The bus gets to use a special drop off lane at the resort so it's VIP yo. I believe the bus came about every half hour or so! Super convenient, use it. The lodge bar has a fun $5 beer and shot deal, I mean it might not be top shelf but for $5....can't complain! I'm too old these days to take in this bargain. Lol. Enjoy my friends, hope you get to come and experience this lodge!! read more

1 star for the food and 4 for the location. Everything on the menu is shit. It's slop. Nothing stands out. It's basically just hillbilly comfort food without the comfort. I've been eating here for 8 years. The best food they ever served was a burger in the food truck during the pandemic. Everything is disappointing on the menu which is why they give you enormous proportion to make up for the bland awful menu. On top of of it all everything is over priced. I always tell myself I'm never eating there again but it's the only restaurant in the area. I'd rather eat a cold can of tuna with sauerkraut heated on the road in the sun. And for some bloody reason the place is always infested with flies. It's probably the food. Anyway, the food sucks, the building is nice, location is nice but I always regret buying the food. You should just turn the place into a pizzeria and fire whoever came up with the menu. read more

Food was pretty mid and the service was slow. Might not be so bad after a full day of skiing though.

The lunch is good. But the breakfast is like serving jail time. I ordered an omelet and typically with an omelet, the veggies are inside. This just had a slab of egg on top of barely cooked veggies. It tasted really bad. My bf got something that looked like the cat got sick. Just a random assortment of slop. I'm really disappointed because lunch is memorable. They should serve both menus all day to prevent disappointment. read more

Got the Club Classic and will say that it can be shared if you're not hungry. Each piece sliced up was enormous and came with a huge plate of fries. Their BBQ sauce is very thick and sweet, which I LOVED. They have heaters outside and even give you lap blankets so definitely enjoy the outside if possible as long as the heaters work! They also had a great selection of beers from out of state. read more

Cute little cabin with great views of mountains wherever you sit. Food was phenomenal! First time having a bison burger and I would 100 percent recommend this to anyone and would definitely get this again. It had an interesting sauce that was great and the meat was cooked perfectly.

Sat down quickly and got food decently quick. read more

Silver Fork is amazing year around! Great food options and clearly unique. We adore the mountain/relaxed atmosphere.

Easy to get to and surprisingly anough parking. We went to Silver Fork after completing an early morning nearby hike. It was Mother's Day, so it was fairly crowded. The breakfast menu was terrific. I had the Pork Chile Verde omelette (huge). Loved it. My daughter had the Power Spuds - also a top choice. We also dabble with the sourdough pancakes (must try) and the cinnamon roll. We are on the patio, with a terrific view. Service was super. Overall this place is a "can't miss". read more

Took a bestie for a lovely fall lunch on the patio after a nice hike. It was the perfect spot to replenish our appetites. We had a nice bottle of Austrian wine, shared the beet veggie soup, poutine and meatloaf. Not a typical poutine, it didn't have a gravy, the but fries were yummy. The meatloaf was like eating ground steak, it is done so well. Service was awesome as well. read more

What a great place. You're here for a reason. Service was fantastic and with the weather being almost 80 degrees! Yea. Sunny and warm. My kind of weather. But what a great find on side of road. I think this is Canyon road. We're from central Florida. So. Not sure. We're just wandering. The salad was huge. Fresh. Wonderful. I had meatloaf. Yummy. The back porch is beautiful. Not sure if it's snowing but, I'll bet the hot apple cider. Raven was a great host. I recommend stopping here. read more

I visited in April when there was a bunch of snowpack against the windows, which was fun! Overall a very rustic atmosphere, included an old-house smell. The food was pretty good. I had a sandwich and a cup of Manhattan-style chowder. Our waiter was attentive and asked me if I wanted my sandwich remade after the kitchen put it on the incorrect bread. I would probably reserve this place for bringing out-of-towners since it has a fun touristy vibe. read more

Came with a big party in the morning before a day of boarding, without reservation, and they had plenty of room. Service was a bit slow, but it was a powder day, so is to be expected. Once the food came out, it was amazing! The portions were ginormous so definitely come hungry. I had Dave's Power Spuds and they were so good! Never had hash browns with salsa before but it was an awesome amount of salsa. Friends also really enjoyed the sourdough pancake, Denver omelet, and Huevos Rancheros. read more

Beautiful scenery but we won't be back!!! The service is "okay" but not that bad however the quality of food has become absolutely horrible from last year to this year... Even though the prices have increased due to covid, we were cool with it, as long as we had the same quality of food, but unfortunately, our food was awful and we would have been better off eating at Taco Bell... Our house salad was wilted, the lemon chicken noodle soup was luke warm, and our nachos were the biggest disappointment even though last year, they were the best nachos in town!!! We paid extra for avocados,bacon and chicken yet we had to use a magnifying glass to find them. I have compared the nachos from last year (2020) to this year (2021) so you can see I'm not exaggerating, not to mention this time it tasted like can beans with cheap cheese, and a couple small pieces of bacon & chicken!!! Bottom line, don't waste your money and drive a little further out, and you will thank me for it!!!! read more
