Earl’s Lodge

My husband and I went to the Earl's Lodge today, Thursday, November 27th, to have the Thanksgiving brunch. We had a great Thanksgiving brunch last year at your restaurant with impeccable service, so we were looking forward to the brunch here again this year. Unfortunately, by the time we left, we felt our Thanksgiving day was completely ruined -- this is probably the worst experience we've ever had at any restaurant. Our reservation time was 2:45 pm, and we did not get our table until a little after 3:15 pm which we understood since the restaurant was very busy. After we sat at our table, no staff came to our table for good 15 minutes. I finally stopped one of the gentlemen in a suit with name tag on for help. He said our server will be with us shortly. Another 10 minutes passed, no help. So I decided to get food first while my husband was still trying to get some help. He had to ask three other staff members to order our drinks. After our drinks were served, no staff returned to our table and asked how our drinks were, nor asked if we need anything while we were at the table. We saw other tables were attentively served and were enjoying good Thanksgiving meal, and we simply wondered why we were not having the same experience. Because we did not know who our server was, we had to stop one of the water servers and ask for a check. When we received the check, I addressed the server, who brought the check (shown as "Ian" on it), how disappointed we were, and received a robotic "I am sorry" response. As we were leaving the restaurant, I saw him comfortably sitting at one of the chairs in front of the fire place near the front reception desk, checking his cell phone. We left the restaurant feeling very humiliated, and are still feeling puzzled. I hope my feedback can help you improve your customer service quality, so that your future customers will feel well taken care of. Happy Thanksgiving.

Earl Large is the main Large at the base of snow basin resort Utah. It’s the largest resort and office dining events and have some amazing views. There’s plenty of outdoor space live Dj on occasions and anybody who’s going to the mountain is able to access this. It’s extremely exquisite with huge log timbers large windows and ornate lighting fixtures the full service restaurant with bar with some amazing views too and plenty of space for anyone else who just wants to come in just their boots or use the restroom. It’s a must see if you are at snow basin.

Earl's Lodge at Snowbasin is literally the most amazing ski lodge that we've all ever stepped foot in. I've been to many ski lodges over the years and have never seen anything like this one! It is stunningly beautiful inside and a MUST visit if you are skiing Snowbasin. The food is solid here as well, a true luxury experience!

By far the nicest ski lodge I’ve ever been to. The dining area is breathtaking and the poop stalls are super private. Solid WiFi connection (~21 Mbps) to connect to the outside world in between runs on the slopes. I went on a weekday and the dining room was somewhat full but there were plenty of spaces to sit. Food is mid-tier for a ski lodge but whatever. Would definitely come back again.

The beer cheese tasted like hot dog water. The girl who served the pretzel was snarky for no reason and im fighting to keep the fruit flies out of the mustard. Good thing there is a lot of fun going on outside. Its miserable in here.

Been going every year for 3 years for spartan race. Always a beautiful place to go to and atmosphere is always great. Service was pretty good. Food was good as well but not great and unfortunately the cooler for drinks was broken so drinks were hot. But they did provide cups for ice.

This lodge is immaculate! We stopped here today after our Ragnar leg and it was amazing. Everything looks to be in great working order and the fireplaces, chandeliers and even he restrooms are comfortable and nice! I would love to come stay here with my family sometime.

I came here on a date, one time everything and I mean everything was cold and they still served it up to us. This is supposed to be an elegant restaurant. It’s located up in the Canyon of Ogden. I will not spend my hard earned money on a place like this, we ordered steak potato salad, and none of it was good nothing!

We sat in the restaurant for the first time and the food was incredible quality. We were very impressed. Kristin was particularly kind and made sure that the kitchen, which was late with our food, got it out to us asap. I got the chicken in sandwich. It just was ok. Quite crispy and flaky/airy of a fried chicken sandwich. Could've used a sauce or something-a bit dry. The pretzel was by far the best thing we ate. Unreal. The beer cheese and mustard for sauces is incredible. So tasty. Warm. Well salted. I could've eaten 3 of them.

Food was just not quite right! Heard they have the chef from Sun Valley onboard! Well if those Idaho potato nachos are his signature dish then send him back to Sun Valley! They are not anything like nachos n more like potatoe skins pilled with gobs of cheese n supposedly steak,but it was just gross n had all 5 of us totally giving it a thumbs up down!! French fries don't look right(maybe look at the french fries in th food court) as they were more like chips! The burger was ok but whats with the chopped up onions instead of just a simple sliced round onion! Glad we didn't order more as it would probably be just bad!!! Good server even apologized for the nachos as she knew they weren't right!

As of the 2023-24 season, Earl's Lodge has redone their menu with a few new items, and thankfully have kept some favorites. Visiting most of the ski lodges in Utah, I have come to love the atmosphere and service at Earl's. As a ski resort, you can't compare the main eating area to other restaurants. Check out the breakfast before 9am when the lifts open. It's never crowded. (Adding breakfast pics later) For lunch I recommend getting a table early. Around 11:30am. Their salads are amazing. The summer squash is my favorite. The noodle bar is incredible. Meats can be added or you can keep things vegetarian. The standard is the pizza or Basin Burger. Take note! You can order it with a veggie patty, or go the other direction and order it with loads of bacon. The secret to the crowds is understanding the line. Bypass it and go right to the front. There's a cook line manager taking orders. The line is usually folks not understanding what to do, or their eating for their order. Once you order, move to the side and wait. It won't be more than five minutes before you have a plate. Earl's staff work really hard to ensure you have a great experience. With thousands of guests served each weekend, they do a great job!

Found out about this tasting menu on Yelp events or somewhere else can't really remember. Looked awesome and there were 4 of us altogether. We had reservations a month in advance. Here was the menu: Social: Smoked Duck Bánh Mì Sliders (not much meat, mostly bread) Sweet Corn Fritters with Raspberry Jalapeno Jelly (Most excellent!!) First Course Spicy Pork Belly Mac and Cheese topped with Truffle Parmesan Gratin (not much truffle flavor but was pretty good) Second Course Arugula Panzanella Salad with a Cold Poached Egg and Lemon Black Pepper Vinaigrette (very delicious with a light citrusy dressing) Third Course Korean Style Lamb Ribs served with Char-Grilled Fennel-Orange Slaw and Asian Rice (this was excellent too) Dessert Beer Poached Apple Strudel with Cheddar Cheese Ice Cream (The cheddar cheese ice cream was funky and really good at the same time) The chef came around to all tables and asked for our honest opinion and it was great. He mentioned that they have a brunch on the top of the mountain on weekends and that we can take a ski lift up. We want to check that out to see if it works for our schedules. The mountains were beautiful, the weather was perfect, all in all couldn't ask for anything better. What an awesome experience!

Although the food tasted good, I found the service inadequate and a little rude. When I asked if I could add an additional side to my platter meal (and I would have been fine paying extra) the employee flat out refused and, in a frustrated tone, responded, "No, you only get two sides." Something like: "Sorry, we are unable to charge for additional sides at this time" would have been much more polite, though regardless of how the employee handled it, the fact that patrons cannot add additional sides reflects poorly on the business itself.

sub par food would recommend grabbing corn dogs at Sinclair on the way up. The ramen is tasteless, their chicken is tasteless. Stick to the pizza and tomato bisque if anything Lacking in flavortown big time xxx

Came here for lunch and it seemed pretty promising at first.. we ordered four items: Mexican Hot Coco, Wings, Chicken Pecan Cranberry salad and Gnocchi with Chicken. All of it was pretty disappointing. Definitely wouldn't come back for the food, but two start for atmosphere!

This place is like a barracks mess hall Absolutely terrible!!!! Love Snow Basin skiing and snowboarding but don't come on a empty stomach Food is absolutely terrible!!!! We had Salmon bagels with very little salmon, lots of anions and lots of capers... maybe trying to disguise the lack of salmon?

I love skiing at Snowbasin, it has great runs over a variety of terrain but the thing that really makes it one of my favorites is Earl's lodge. They have a great selection of different food options at a reasonable price unlike many of the other resorts. It's the perfect place to relax between runs or have a bite to eat. Also, during the summer the blues, brews and BBQ festivals they have on the weekends are a great time with live music and great food.

I don't understand any low rating for Earls Lodge Dining especially if you have experienced the food at any other Resort. The food is amazing here. There is a large selection of choices. Food is prepared right in front of you. The lodge is beautiful with amazing views of the Snowbasin Mountain. I had the Basin Burger which is a burger with pulled pork and bacon plus fries. The portion is enormous and can be shared easily for at least two. Price was $14.50 and would have been over $20 anywhere else. Highly recommended! If you like review, click Useful or Like!

We have enjoyed several very nice meals at various buffets at Snow Basin over the past two years. The Mother's Day and Easter brunches have been exceptional, and we will continue to return for those and possibly try Thanksgiving or Christmas. What we won't return for, is any of their specialty nights such as the Italian night we had to suffer through the other night. Food was pretty meh, and for $60/person should have been spectacular. What was spectacular, though was the spectacularly horrific service we received. Our five course meal ran 5 HOURS to be served and settle the bill. Our server and any of the other servers we saw were clearly overwhelmed. This was just unbelievable considering that it was family style service! Drinks were continually not filled, and I mean even water. Our server seemed to be completely flummoxed by the flights of wine offered. She even pronounced Chianti as "shanty", which should have been a warning to us that things were going to be very interesting. Servers disappears for seemingly hours at a time. It might have been nice at the end of our meal to be offered coffee to fill those cups that were set on the table, but those of us who wanted coffee gave up and had to go searching for it. We wound up having to pour cups from the service carts. Wow. Unacceptable just doesn't seem a good enough word. Luckily we were with great group of fun people who could make the best of a bad situation, and had the same opinion of the service and food. Bleh.

When I saw the menu for the "Blues, Brews, and BBQ" Sunday free concerts, I thought it was decently priced for resort food. When we actually sat down with our plates, we couldn't believe it! Our arms got sore carrying them to the table, they were so loaded! The BBQ Smoked Brisket came with corn-on-the-cob, baked beans, coleslaw, and watermelon. The creamy coleslaw had a great flavor, as did the BBQ sauce. We got the last of the brisket, so the portions might have been larger than normal, but we were delighted by the tender smoky beef. Our second visit, Mr H. and I shared Uncle Pete's Loaded Fries--topped with cheddar, brisket, and BBQ sauce. Seemed a bit pricey, but considering the area and amount of cheese and beef, was actually quite reasonable.

Attended the Mother's Day brunch and was very disappointed. For $65 per plate I was expecting good quality. Had plenty of choices, but not much flavor. All the meats were dry, even the ham. Best thing on the menu was cream brûlée, but the ran out of that by

If your are in need of a beautiful place to warm up at the bottom of Snowbasin, this is the place. If you forgot your lunch or did not eat breakfast you need to be prepared for meh quality of food for resort prices. One of the most interesting things is that the prices are not easy to see on the menu boards, so when you roll up at the check-out with a side of fries or a slice of pizza you might be shocked by the price vs amount and quality. I get it... you are at a ski area, but the strange staffing level (one cook busting it, 5 cashiers to check you out, and a dozen floor staff bitching about work waiting over your shoulder to pickup you trash) could be one reason for the price. Recommend bring your own lunch and saving you money for new ski/board gear. http://www.snowbasin.com/dining/earls/ for oddly formatted download of the menu.

Disappointed that my cheeseburger tasted spoiled and the bun was greasy. The kale slaw was too heavily Dressed and was not edible. The latte I had for my coffee break was excellent as was the Danish pastry.

What a great place to enjoy a meal and an adult beverage whether you're driving up for some hiking or coming in from the cold during a ski day. I stopped in to warm up a bit and just to have a drink. However, if you are going to order a drink you must also order food. Not sure if this is a Utah thing or just their house rules, either way I ordered the quesadillas. Note to self...This is a huge meal, definitely for two. They were fantastic and the price was fair for what I received. The atmosphere is bright and the staff are all very friendly. Since this was my first time skiing in 15 years it was good to be around people again who used the words, "shred, rad, epic" in their conversations about skiing.

What is there not to love?! I am from New Orleans, lived here in Utah off and on for about 12 years, do not ski and never thought of going to Snow Basin. A friend from The Boot came to visit Easter weekend, he wanted to take pictures, as we were in Snow Basin, he said "let's grab something to eat", we wind up at Earl's Lodge. We walk into Earl's they ask about reservations, of course we did not have any BUT the staff was so accommodating and absolutely AMAZING. The food was impeccable and I had a bunch of support as I did something different and rode the gondola. Thank everyone for making my first experience there a truly memorable one!

The main issue is they set their own bar high, but have been slacking the past two seasons. For example, the french toast used to be served beautifully, and warm. Now it feels like you're at a small diner that tries to rush you out. They just flop the french toast on the cold plate and add a pool of syrup. french toast soup anyone? Sad.

Food used to be so good before covid... salads are old and soggy, not fresh. Burgers are soggy! Prices are outrageous for this quality of food! Super disappointed

Has gone downhill in recent year under new executive chef. Last Sunday I ordered the gnocchi pasta at the Cinnebar. While it came out looking attractive the first bite was unappetizing- cold previously overcooked broccoli on the top of the dish. I sent it back immediately. It returned with warm mushy broccoli on top. Digging in to the rest of the dish did not improve the dinning experience. Too much going on, basically they threw every ingredient that fit in a large plate into this recipe, and to my palate it was not a sophisticated flavor profile. I was very disappointed. I barely was interested in eating it. I did not send it back and I ate what I could. The potato gnocchi was good by itself. Not sure what the Lima beans were meant to add, or a lot of the other ideas. If the recipe was just left at the gnocchi, good sauce, and some two year old Parmesan shavings... winner winner chicken dinner. Instead it was a tragedy. I will tell you why: Snowbasin is or was rightly famous for good food. Years ago they were rebounded on my circle for doing sous vide cooking from what I learned from my chef friends. In addition, soup, sandwiches fries were generous and delicious as well. The place served what was practically gourmet good at reasonable cafeteria prices, and I'm not talking about ski resort cafeteria prices. So this was one meal you say? No. I tried some of the others this year. What should be an outstanding meal and great value, the yakasoba noodle station, served terrible noodles and was a below average dish. Some things are still good. Salads! Soup, chili, burgers!

This truly is as good as it gets for a ski resort. Food is good, prices are reasonable. We usually stick with pizza, chicken strips, french fries, etc. but last week I ordered the orzo salad with the ginger wasabi dressing. It was surprisingly good and they packed so much salad into that takeout container, I felt like it was an exceptional value.
