We were driving around and decided to check out Heber City. We noticed how busy and popular this restaurant was, so we stopped in.
Back 40 Ranch House uses fresh, local ingredients from Heber and its surrounding valleys.
Devin took care of us. Great service. He was funny, helpful, and friendly! The manager also stopped by and checked on us. Their table salt is real sea salt from Heber. The water served comes from their own well, which is over 200 feet deep. Their water did taste pure and clean!
Cup of Lobster Bisque: Creamy and rich. If you get the bowl size, it has a lump of lobster meat and comes with bread.
They had a Saturday special of Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, au jus. Yep, I got it! Cooked medium rare. Locally sourced - very beefy and tender. The mashed potatoes were creamy.
Aside from
Daily Vegetable: carrots, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, and eggplant.
Parmesan Parsley French Fries: The first batch came out cold, and Devin got us another one. They were crispy and hot. Good flavor. He also brought their house made Back 40 Fry sauce. We heard Utahns are known for their fry sauce. It was good, sorta like Red Robin's Campfire sauce.
Their hoagie rolls are all baked fresh daily by Stoneground Bakery, located in Salt Lake City
The Blood Orange Marmalade is provided by Pepper Lane Products, located in Midway Utah. Usually served on their salmon. But we got a toasted slice of bread to try it on. It has a slight kick in it from a pepper, maybe jalapeño.
Oatmeal Berry Crisp: This came warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The dessert was warm, fruity, and sweet.
Our great experience at this restaurant was marred by some idiot who side-swiped our parked car as they pulled out of their parking spot. Hit-and-run is against the law, jerk!
