Hell's Backbone Grill & Farm

I would fly to Salt Lake City and drive 4 hours just to eat here again. This is a world-class restaurant. My wife and I both worked in the wine and food service industry and were thoroughly impressed by the creativity of the food menu, wine list, and cocktails. Their focus on local enhanced the food even more. The service was Michelin-caliber, with every server so well-trained and professional.

What an incredible place! Dinner here is like being wrapped in love. Is the food wonderful? Yes! The atmosphere is like heaven. But the most beautiful thing is the incredible sense of love and caring that is embedded into everything they do here. We came on a night when the electricity was out, rather than closing their doors, they rose to the challenge. Every bite was delicious beyond expectation. The experience was truly remarkable and I cannot wait to return ❤️

I came into this with high expectations and left feeling unsure about it. I went with some people who were vegan and vegetarian. They raved about their dishes. The biscuits were very popular as well and their desserts were the best thing about the place. The blackberry custard pie. It has to be one of the most delicious pies I've ever had. I wish I could have gotten the recipe. I would go here just for that alone. We had a large party. 20ish people. The restaurant was very good at accommodating us. I sat and talked with the two ladies who own the restaurant and run it. They were very kind and great hosts. I loved hearing their story and you could tell they loved their restaurant. A few dishes we tried, The lemony cluck it was very dry and not well seasoned. The pork chops certainly weren't bad but for the price paid they were underwhelming. The beef dinner pie had a great flaky crust and was well prepared. Could have used a few more veggies but otherwise good. The alcohol menu was unique. I tried a negreeni for the first time. I didn't end up liking it but I don't feel like that was a reflection upon the bartender, more my own pallet.

I would give 5 stars but I couldn’t help but wish there was just a little bit more variety in the vegan options. That being said, my non-vegan partner and I both really enjoyed our meals, the wine & cocktails, and the service. The homemade tofu was really delicious and the cauliflower dish was fantastic. It was a funny but welcome change of pace to eat at such a nice restaurant after living in our van and hiking for the week! A little food oasis in the desert. If I’m ever out that way again, I would definitely go back.

Let me start with this place was nothing like I expected. That said, I loved it! Made a reservation, and it seems like this is a must. Let me say the staff here is absolutely amazing. They have created a culture unlike anything I have seen. Bringing beautiful, friendly, talented people from all over the country to be a part of something amazing. The farm to table vibe is apparent from the second you walk in, and the flavors and freshness won't disappoint. I highly recommend and will absolutely visit again.

My husband took me here for our anniversary and it was absolutely delicious and lovely. The restaurant is comfortable and surrounded by beautiful plants. The staff is really friendly and kind. My meal was delicious. I ordered the biscuits as an appetizer, and they were handmade and delicious. I also ordered the asparagus soup and the ceasar salad. Both were amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant. I look forward to returning one day!

This has been on my bucket list for years and years. We finally made it down and it did not disappoint. I ordered the enchiladas and my boyfriend got the meatloaf. We also shared their side salad, biscuits, and bread pudding. We tried a few of their cocktails as well. Everything came out looking beautiful and it all tasted so good. I did feel like there was a bit too much spice in the enchiladas and it overpowered some of the flavors. I’m giving 4 stars though because my margarita had a hair in the lime when it came out. Pretty yucky! The waitress replaced my lime but not my drink which seemed strange.
