Splendid surprise in the desert. It’s a little out-of-the-way, but well worth the drive. It’s even a more incredible experience if you can spend the night. The restaurant is phenomenal, and the adjacent lodging accommodations are lovely. It was a welcomed restful night after being in the desert for a few days camping. The staff was phenomenal, and the trout taco absolutely blew me away!

What a spectacular meal, and such an absolutely beautiful location. You definitely do not want to pass this place up. We had the House Bread, and it was baked fresh, and was hot when it came out, with three sides of infused olive oil and balsamic drizzle. We also had the Polenta Fries, and they were so delicious, and came with what tasted like a home made spicy ketchup. The Cheese Board comes with three different types of extremely tasty, fresh cheeses, toasted bread, jam, apricots, candied pecans, and pickled onions and green bell peppers--it was seriously heavenly, and they had sauteed fresh sage on it, which was insanely good. The Golden Beet Salad was amazing as well, with crisp, fresh lettuce, super fresh golden beets--which complimented the salad amazingly--goat cheese, candied pecans, dried cranberries, and a delicious oil based sauce, with pine nuts in it. We also had the Sweet Potato Enchiladas and they were very good, the tomatoes were so fresh, and you can tell that they do not use beans from a can. The Vanilla ice cream tasted so perfect, almost like they made it fresh, and the apricot sauce on top was to die for--the ice cream also had candied pecans on it. Each dish was sprinkled with small, edible flowers, and it was just seriously all so wonderful. They get everything fresh here, and local, and they even have a huge garden on the property where they grow some of their ingredients. So glad we came here. Wow!! And the person cooking was very friendly and even came out and served our food. I think he might be the owner, but I am not sure. This is such a wonderful place!:)

SUMPTUOUS SURPRISE! My husband and I were so lucky to have stumbled upon this hidden gem! Best food we've had during our Utah trip by far! The chef concocted food combinations on par with what we typically experience in a cosmopolitan city restaurant. Don't pass this up if you're traveling along highway 12!!! Staff were delightful and ranch ambiance was just what we were looking for.

Hidden gem on Hell's Backbone. Unique guest ranch setting that we stayed at that has a surprisingly amazing restaurant. We had the burger and chicken sandwich which were outstanding and locally sourced. You can eat on the patio which has a great view of the ranch grounds. Don't pass this place up if you're in the area.

If you have ever had the experience of a perfect rememberable time at a restaurant? That was my husband and myself time at Sweetwater!The atmosphere, the over the top beauty that surrounds you, fresh tasty food, the personal feel the owners makes you feel.

While it was a bit of a journey to reach the restaurant, it was absolutely worth it! They have a strong grasp on farm to table cuisine with a friendly local feel. You may be in the absolute rural corners of Utah but they maintain an approachable atmosphere. There's certainly something special about eating truly fresh and local food and that magic is obvious in Sweetwater's dishes.Vegetarian options: While not the focus, there were vegetarian options which showcased the regions local seasonal produce. Parking: You'll drive a ways down a dirt road and park in the farm.Kid-friendliness: No issue with kids and had some options for the picky among them.

Very interesting place. Both indoor and outdoor seating on a literal ranch! Food was OUTSTANDING. Everything was fresh and tasted garden grown. Whoever is in the kitchen has their own signature style on this food, beautiful experimentation with it. It’s worth the wait! Very nicely done.The live piano show and dancing did wonders for the mood! This people know what they’re doing!The burger was AMAZING, as well as the house special pasta. I’m blown away!

This dining experience was one of my favorites while on vacation recently. The atmosphere was laid back, the food was tasty/fresh, and the cocktails were absolute perfection.The porch is dog friendly, so making friends with a well behaved furry friend was a bonus 😁🐾I cannot wait to go back next time I’m in Boulder!

Delicious menu and wonderful, friendly staff that made our big group feel right at home while staying at the ranch. We gladly ate at Sweetwater Kitchen each night, grateful for the convenience and fine food each evening after exploring the backcountry. Thank you!

This place is amazing! We had roasted carrots, polenta fries, beet salad, Mediterranean trout and New York cheesecake. All we’re amazing. The space is beautiful and the waitstaff is nice.

Where do I start?The natural environment including the colors, fresh air, and scenery are some aspects that create such an amazing food experience at Sweetwater Kitchen!The food is organic/sourced locally- the bar-nun steak, polenta fries, golden-beet salad, and berry cheesecake are a few of my personal favorites.

Visited Utah for a week and this was possibly my girlfriend's favorite stop (better than the parks). The restaurant is small and cozy, the cocktails were great, and the steak was amazing. It has a great ambiance and the servers give great recommendations. If you stay overnight, you'll get to pick up a breakfast basket to enjoy in the morning, and the coffee is good too! Highly recommend a visit!

My girlfriend and I arrived looking for some breakfast. Even though they weren't serving breakfast that day the cook made us some amazing breakfast burritos. Cool place with an artistic, friendly vibe. Feels like it's run by people living out their dream.

High quality food prepared professionally and tastefully, with a gorgeous atmosphere and very friendly service. The whole property was a great experience (we stayed at one of the Yurts on property) and the Sweetwater Kitchen was no exception.

The Midnight Burger dethrones Lucky 13's Stinky Bacon as my favorite burger in Utah. And the fries are the best we've ever had, anywhere.

Not the fastest, but dang this place is good. The chef seemed super involved and most everything was good to great. Not to start a rivalry, but everyone in our party agreed it was decisively better than a more famous eatery in town.
