Guys, this place has one of the best rib eyes I had in a while. The charbroiled rib eye is the thing to get here and make sure to get it medium rare. Servers were super nice, and food didn't take too long to come out. This place is huge so there's no wait even on a Friday night. One minor thing that was slightly negative, we had tea and the water was barely warm, but not a big deal. I got garlic mash with my steak and it was just okay, wouldn't get it again, but asparagus was really well cooked, so definitely recommend that. read more

Really great food here. The T-Rex nachos were so good, and the chicken fried steak was excellent too. Everyone else's meals looked great, although a few people mentioned theirs were a little too salty. The service was attentive, and the kitchen was fast. read more

Server was great, restaurant was clean. My husband's beer was great, my peach ice tea was watered down. We both ordered the 8 oz charbroiled filet mignon. I have never had a fatty filet until today. it wasn't marbling, it was fat throughout the entire filet. I ordered mine well done, my husband ordered his medium and the texturd of the meat was the same. It was like eating a sponge. I couldn't eat more than two bites and neither could my husband. The flavor was great; the actual meat, not so much. My loaded baked potato was warm, not hot, with a very sparse amount of cheese, two pads of butter on the side of the plate For me to unwrap and put on myself, same with the sour cream. We left most of our food and lef. Seriously so dissapointed! read more

We ordered the ribeye charcoal grilled with a side of sweet potato fries, clam chowder and nachos appetizer. The ribeye was probably the best ribeye steak I've ever had. It was perfectly grilled with the smoky charcoal flavor. The chowder was delicious and had a nice bacon flavor. The Nachos were okay and had too much cheese/sauce. I think the sweet potato fries would have tasted better if it wasn't doused in brown sugar. Overall Swain brothers was a nice surprise and the steak makes the trip worth it read more

I can't judge the steaks. I can say there are a lot of choices; six full pages of food. So we didn't get steak, we got different dinner choices. They had very large portions. Would feed a 22-year old that's active. For us older types, we took 1/3 of it back with us. With all the choices, there's likely something for everyone. Prices are low for the non-steak dinners. Lots of seats - a few different rooms. Excellent service. read more

Wow!!!! we came in here. Were we ever impressed? We had charbroiled steaks, the asparagus, and coconut shrimp, salads, and clam chowder... gosh it was so good... I don't know what they do to their steaks, but it was something special... Did I mention the hot rolls that came out fresh from the oven with butter... Wow, wow wow... Vernal is his card very fortunate to have this restaurant Madison was our waitress and she took very good care of us made up a lot of very good recommendations and everything was really good. The longer we were here, the busier this place got.... it was amazing... read more

Food is delish! Coconut shrimp is a must, followed by the Salmon with a fresh super crispy salad! Absolutely wonderful! Don't forget the raspberry Cheesecake. Matty the bartender is wonderful read more

Food was not cooked properly. Quality and Taste had to give for that. However, service was good.

Our main course was a prime rib and a char-broiled fillet. My prime rib was par, just as good as any good resturant. My partner's char-broiled was outstanding. She was kind enough to give me several bites of her steak. I would almost drive back to Utah for that. Service was average to above average. Ambiance much the same as other small town resturants. I would return there again. read more

We've been on a Utah road trip, and while visiting Vernal, we found this total gem of a steakhouse! After reading the reviews, we weren't sure what to expect at first, but knew we were in for a treat when on a typical Wednesday evening found this place to be packed. This place makes a solid steak right up there with some of the best we've had anywhere. Excellent quality meat with a nice depth of flavor, and extremely generous portions. The ribeye was particularly delicious, it had a lovely smokiness to it, cooked to perfection with a really delicious rub. Even the dinner rolls were incredibly light and fluffy, served with a whipped honey butter. Great service, quaint space, very pleasantly surprised! read more

We've been repeat customers here for a while, and it truly never disappoints. The service is always great and friendly, and the food is consistently excellent. We had the prime rib and the filet, and both were cooked to absolute perfection. I forgot to take pictures, but the desserts are unbelievable. They're so delicious, and the portions are big enough for three people to share. And a fun bonus-- they have sonic ice, which is always a win, and all the flavors you could want for your iced tea. Always a great experience every time we come to Vernal. read more

On the spur of the moment, when traveling through, we opted for dinner at Swain Brothers. What a treat! Service was attentive without being intrusive and the food was excellent. Glad we took a chance read more

I've eaten at Morton's Ruth, Chris and Del Frisco's and this steak can compete with all three of them. If I could give this a seven stars, I give it. The downside for me was I had to do a zoom for work so I had to get it to go order and bring it back to the hotel so I had to eat it out of Styrofoam, but it was still one of the best buttery steaks I've had the rolls were so buttery good and the salad. This is a must go to when you're in Vernal. read more

Staying the night in Vernal and came here for dinner. Sat at the bar and Marty was attentive and a happy guy. Service was attentive and the bar filled up while there. Ordered the blackened chicken Cesar salad. It was a nice portion and the chicken was cooked tender. Also had a glass of wine. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff all appeared to get along well and were happy. That says a lot about an establishment. Would recommend and return if ever driving through town. read more

The food was amazing! We had a party of seven. Four of us ordered the ribeye steak. It was cooked just the way we asked- 1- medium, 2- medium well and 1- medium rare. It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The baked potatoes were salted on the outside and served with real butter and sour cream, both on the side. One ordered steak fajitas. The meat was cooked just right. It came with ample extras- lots of guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa. Two full half pound hamburgers (real meat patties) with lots of real cheddar cheese. The cheese was melted- like it should be. They gave us so many yummy rolls we took the extra home. They were served with honey butter- so good! A couple of us had salads with ranch dressing that they homemade. Ask for the dressing in the side, they give lots of dressing. Two different f s had the clam chowder, it was good and had a lot of flavor to it. Clams were even visible- no skimping. The beverages were served in large plastic drinking glasses with plenty of crushed ice. We were stuffed and didn't have room for dessert. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The only not reason I give a 4 out of 5 is because it was SO cold in there. Wear an extra layer. read more

A very nice and elegant steakhouse in the middle of downtown where it seems like a lot of locals go for lunch and dinner, but also a lot of Tourists go as well on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Our waitress Jodi was spot on and quick with service. Thank you! I'm not sure if they take reservations but it gets busy during dinner time. I recommend if you are a steak connoisseur take a seat at this place in Vernal, Utah. read more

OK. First, something I need to say about this place. They ran out of mashed potatoes, but they still had baked potatoes? OK, I know theres more to it than that in a kitchen. But I really wanted mashed potatoes! Anyhow, food and service was great apart from that. read more

This was better than I thought! From the pictures it didn't look that appealing but I have to say the steaks were good! I have eaten better steaks but I have also had a lot worse. I had the all you can eat steak which is a sirloin. Ordered medium and it came out medium! I'm just not that big of a sirloin fan, never have been. The Bloody Mary I ordered with my meal was top notch! By far the best was the service! These girls were all very efficient and friendly! And they all looked like models! Maybe I just came on a good night (Friday)! read more

Spent the past few days camping near Aspen, CO and subjected to stuffy, hoity toity, fru-fru, pretentious restaurants that price gouge tourists with menus that appear to be written in some kind of alien language from a planet inhabited only by rich a**holes. I came from eating "beets served three different ways" and "microgreens salad" to demolishing a prime rib and a whole plate of some of the best nachos I've ever head. I felt right at home. Salad was drenched in ranch dressing. Hell yeah. Steak was dripping in juices. Hell yeah. T-Rex nachos were flame. All in all cost me less than $50 for a steak dinner, desert, appetizer, salad, beer. Yes please. Thank you for giving me the sustenance I've been searching for at a fair price. What a fantastic meal. Fancy? Hell no. Just how I like it. read more

How is this not 5 stars?? All of the food is so good! Must try chargrilled ribeye! Clam chowder, rolls, and side salad are all so good!

Jesus H. This place is incredible. I could not believe how good our food was, we were in heaven. My husbands prime rib was melt in your mouth. My son loved his shrimp Alfredo. And I had the filet mignon that was to die for. I cannot get the flavors out of my head. Our server was so kind too. Pricing was super reasonable. Ten stars. Next time we come to vernal we'll make this priority! read more

Great steaks. Clam chowder was very good as well. Haven't had a meal that I didn't enjoy.

Just left them. Great service steak was perfect and fast. We are in the bar and the bartender new about everything around here and was extremely helpful. If I ever come through here again I know where to get a great steak. read more

Outside seating area is cute. A little bit of road noise but they have music playing and it kinda helps. The food was . Ordered Medium Rare ribeye.. I got MEDIUM RARE ribeye!! That doesn't happen very often. It seems like most places want me to eat ribeye medium.. Haley was my server and she was so nice. Perfect timing on checking in. Swains did NOT disappoint!! read more

Came here for dinner when the SO and I were in town earlier this year. This place seemed like a real local joint as we saw legit cowboys here, which certainly tickled our fancies. This place is a steakhouse, so of course their specialty would be steaks. They had a few other entrees on their list as well, including a pasta dish or so, which was what I opted for, and a side of steamed veggies. The SO got one of their steaks and a side of mashed potatoes and green beans. Our portions were HUGE and I thought it was funny that my side of steamed veggies were covered in a blanket of shredded cheese. We both enjoyed our meals, and we certainly got quite the bang for our buck here. Service was friendly and prompt, and prices were very reasonable, so I would recommend this place for people near this part of the country. read more

We ate here tonight and the food was so good. Had the clam chowder, mussels, and filet. Everything was excellent. And our server was so nice. Definitely recommend. read more

Started with fresh out of the oven rolls, a great salad, and then a beautifully-cooked ribeye steak. Plus, many choices of different potatoes for a side. We had the loaded mashed potatoes, which were delicious and generously portioned. (Plus, they had pebble ice in their drinks!! ) a very satisfying meal. read more

Very nice location, outside construction is going on but they are still open, the charbroiled steak was the best I've ever had!

What a relief to find a decent place open on a Sunday. I was in town on business and was looking for something to eat before heading back and walked into this fine place. There was a menu board that greeted me with a few specials for the day. I jumped at the clam chowder and the prime grade thick cut rib eye. The soup was wonderful. It would have to rank somewhere in the top 3 clam chowders I've ever had (includes time spent in Seattle & San Francisco). The only thing I'd say about the soup that kept it from perfection, it didn't come out hot. It was lukewarm -not cold and still good though. My steak was cooked perfectly (not flame grilled if you're snobby about that). It appeared seared and broiled. The slight disappointment about the steak, approximately 25-30% were large chunks of fat. It was thick cut and only 8oz, it felt like I got the short end of the stick when it came to value, having to leave so much cut out. I'd be back if in the area again. For sure be looking for that soup. read more

We took a day trip to Vernal and after a long day of hiking wanted something filling. I'm a bit skeptical of small town steakhouses... but the reviews were promising. This place did not disappoint. First, a big basket of the most perfect hot and fully rolls with a sweet butter. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium well (my request). The lovely waitress McKayla gave me a drink refill to go and an extra piece of cake because the kind I ordered wasn't available. My husband got the nachos and ate them for 20 minutes without making a dent. The quantity for price is insane! Altogether I walked away SO pleasantly surprised and incredibly full. If you're passing through Vernal, be sure to stop here! read more

After a recent move to the Vernal area, I heard this was a great restaurant to go if I wanted good steak or prime rib. If it wasn't for the stellar service that Adam provided me, I would most likely give a 0 star rating. The atmosphere is great, the service and staff is friendly, but where they lack is the most important place of the restaurant - the kitchen. I ordered the blackened prime rib and I was thinking like other places who offer the same cut and style is a 2 minute sear on one side and perhaps a 2 minute sear on the other side. Nope, how about a prime rib well done. In addition, the prime rib cut for nearly $30 was mainly fat and blubber. Very limited meat. Not a good price for the amount of fat. My wife got the steak medallions and she asked me to taste it. The sauce was thick. It was like meat sitting in a plated swamp. You needed an oar to go through the cream. You could taste the flour in it. Based on these items, I would probably stay away from eh, steak, at a steak house. What you can stay with are the side salads. Good looking greens, fresh tomatoes, and that was yummy. For tourist season, this is probably a place to stay away from. Will I give it another chance, perhaps when they get a chef than show good flavor profiles, understand what cooking temperature for meat is, and understands that sauce inconsistencies are not good. read more

My wife and I had the great pleasure of dining at Swain Brothers. We both ordered steak Sicilian style. This was the most amazing meal in recent memory. My wife ordered sirloin and scampi, steak said 10oz on the menu, it looked closer to 20. Large portions amazing beef quality and the service was amazing. I highly recommend this place. read more

we sat at our table for 30 minutes no waiter. tried to flag down a waiter and they still didn't come over.

Service from Lexus and the other staff was great. The food quality and quantity was a total surprise. Steak medallions were fantastic, shrimp was great. My wife had the green chili burger and it was awesome as well. Shocked to find such great meats and a huge menu in such a small town. Definitely be back. read more

I wasn't real impressed. My budget couldn't afford an expensive steak, so I ordered a less expensive cowboy style chicken cordon bleu. I probably didn't understand the description on the menu, but it wasn't anything like what I expected and frankly, it wasn't great. Just a boneless piece of chicken breast with cheese on it and a slab of rather tough bacon, all covered in a creamy sauce. The sauce was for sure the best part. Should have stuck with the chicken fettuccine Alfredo that I first looked at. read more
