This is a solid take out restaurant at Snowbird. This is located in the Snowbird Center, pretty…read moreclose to the tram entry. The menu is mainly burgers and fries. I had the Impossible burger from here which was cooked well, and I appreciated that they had a vegan option. While there is no indoor seating, there are a ton of tables outside on the plaza to sit and eat at. It does take about 5 minutes for them to make your food, and it's a good quick meal at the Bird.

One star for the hostess who was fine and for the nice view. However, the service here was some of…read morethe worst I've ever experienced. I came in around 3:15 pm for a quick drink and appetizer, or so I thought. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, the waiter took over 20 minutes to take my order, while making the rounds at other tables. I'm not sure what it was about me that made him not want to stop, he definitely saw me sitting there. Then, after waiting 25 more minutes for my drink and appetizer to show up, neither did, and it was time to leave so I left baffled, hungry and unsatisfied. Next time I'll take my business somewhere else.

My husband and I decided to try this place for brunch after church and Since it was the off season,…read morewe knew there would not be lot of people there. Upon arrival we requested patio seating, where a large party was also seated. The server was a little slow to acknowledge us, however as she was helping the large party we let it go. We did overhear someone from the large group they wanted to order biscuits and gravy and was promptly informed they were out (this was about 10 am - posted business hours were from 8 am to 4 pm). The patio was had great view, the weather was perfect and of course being in the off season hardly many visitors It took the several minutes after taking their order to finally stop by. My husband ordered the black bean with chicken and informed they were out. So he opted for the Caesar salad with chicken and I ordered the eggs Benedict; he chose to stick with water and I ordered a n iced tea. When our order was brought it, it looked great. And was brought out by someone who was not our server. However my eggs were very overcooked; husband's salad had too much dressing. Not once did our server come by to check on either us or the large party until it was time to pay. My husband ended drinking the water brought to us when we're seated and I drank my iced tea slowly to make it last for the duration of our meal. We did observe another couple who was seated on the patio about the time we placed our order, the server was very attentive to them. Additionally there was a single young man also seated about the same time who was ignored by the server for good length of time.

The Forklift is a restaurant at Snowbird Cliff Lodge and offers breakfast and lunch. Forklift…read moreserves traditional American foods and they also serve breakfast options, soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers. I was in the mood for breakfast so I went to The Forklift. I ordered Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes, and Sourdough Bread Toast. The breakfast was good. An average breakfast but the best part was the view. It was spectacular. In my opinion the prices are quite steep for breakfast. The breakfast plate was twenty two dollars but that's to be expected staying on a ski resort. The customer service was good and could be quite slow at times.

I had a voucher from DOMOpalooza here for $40 here and I was told all restaurants would take it, so…read moreI got a few beers and a salad and I was told by my server that they would not take the voucher. I used the voucher last year at the same place. I got the Asian salad, it was okay. I couldn't believe they didn't tell their servers to honor the thousands of people coming in from the DOMO conference. I blame it on the server, I saw him look at my DOMO nametag on my neck and he didn't ask if I knew that the voucher wasn't good there. Again, not going to a manager to make this right. I put so much hope in people, and they always prove me wrong.

So there's not many options at Snowbird for good food, or at Cliff Lodge. If possible, is avoid The…read moreAtrium. On paper they look great, in reality they're not good. We stopped in because they had modifiable options for a vegan. Apparently their veggie sandwich can't be done without cheese? That was the first signifier that everything is pre-made and sitting, waiting for you to order it. I asked the server about taking it off and before I could even finish my sentence, the answer was no. Granted he did spend 10 minutes talking to another server and avoiding us, his one table, putzing around, so getting food made to order didn't seem to be the biggest concern. And with asking about getting cheese not being on my sandwich, no way. Couldn't be bothered. Aka: you got dietary restrictions, good luck, we're not going to help you. I ended up ordering the kid's PB&J because it was the only non-dairy, non-meat optipn on the menu. And then I got it... My bread we as hard as a rock. Clearly had been sitting for a while. Very pre-made. My mom's turkey sandwich was also horrible. She tried to eat the turkey our of the stale bread of her sandwich, but that was way too dry. I hate saying all this because the staff was so friendly, except when the server took 10 minutes to greet the table. Every other interaction and meal we had at Cliff Lodge was great. Maybe that's what made this interaction and meal so incredibly disappointing. Go elsewhere for food.

Not impressed. The service was ok ("everything on the menu is good" line). The food was frankly…read moremediocre. The crab cakes were not great, the salmon was very undercooked, the rice was strange and terrible tasting, and the steak was just ok. Better than fast food, but certainly not worth the prices or what other people are saying. Very overrated. Also, the flatware was all different and one of them was from Amazon Basics! They do have coat racks and slippers, which is cool.

There is an elevator, in case your legs are weary from too many miles on the mountain. I was a little bit concerned that they might not have anything that would fit into my very restrictive diet. Turns out I was totally wrong to worry. Reservations are recommended. It's not the usual ski resort cafeteria. It's a classy sit-down place. You can even take off your ski boots and change into slippers. Made me feel pampered, like I was at a health spa or something. I was able to get some vegan carrot soup, which meant that it had been thickened with coconut cream instead of gluten-rich roux. Score! I didn't think I had the appetite to eat an entire salad, so I scanned the menu and decided that a plain chicken breast would be my protein for the meal. The rest of our group had sandwiches, salads and pasta. The menu seems to be mainly American/European, with very nice vegetarian and vegan options. I'd welcome a chance to go back there any time. It certainly wasn't a quick lunch, but it gave us all a chance to rest well before we headed back out into the whiteout conditions to conquer some waist-high moguls for the rest of the afternoon.
