Breakfast is the meal to have here. Massive breakfast burrito or eggs as you like. Tons of hash browns with dill. At first it seemed like too much dill, but it grew on me. Lunch was better than average but not outstanding. They cook all meat to medium well. Boo. read more

I can't lie, I was expecting more for Snowbird. This was an overpriced greasy spoon diner experience. The food was ok an it solved the problem of our hunger, but I don't think I'd come here again, though there aren't a ton of choices up here in the morning. The other restaurant one level below the Forklift is a true cafeteria style place and we really wanted a nice, romantic sit-down meal. I was glad they had a vegetarian option for burgers, and even a mushroom sandwich, which I had. I was pretty disappointed with the food quality overall. It was mostly flavorless save for some well placed fattening aioli. The biggest thing that bugged me was that we were seated at a table squashed between two occupied tables and there wasn't even room for me to pull out my chair all the way to sit down, and I was in a huge fluffy coat, to. The entire other side of the restaurant was unoccupied, yet they felt the need to pack us in like sardines on the side where the sun was shining right in our faces through the window. Yeah... read more

Great spot for brunch. My family and I love to make the trip up little cottonwood for this place. Winter or summer, it's always a good time. Whether we're eating out on the patio or inside next to the fireplace, it's always been good. I love the views and ski/resort vibe. The prices are fair and the staff are super friendly and cultured. Check it out! read more

You've had a serious morning on a world class mountain and need a little break and some food. The Forklift is a good alternative to the cafeteria style food you'll find elsewhere. Quick seating, even during peak lunch hours, along with a nice place to warm your gloves or boots start you off in the right direction. The service is good for a seasonal resort and prices aren't going to blow your budget. The views are only ok as you're at the bar of the mountain, but it is airy and light with good personal space between the tables. Warm up and treat yourself to a good lunch and get back on the next tram! read more

This is probably my favorite place to eat at Snowbird. It's nice to have a chill place to go and relax after a day of Skiing or get away from the crowds when you are up for Oktoberfest and have a bite to eat. The staff is super friendly every time I have been there and the food is very good. My personal favorites are the Cuban Panini and the French Dip, although the Forklift burger is also very good. The views are spectacular too and it's very convenient being that its right at the bottom of the tram. read more

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience here. The food was not great. The food was dry, the flavor was weak, the food preparation was sub-par, and the prices were extremely high. Most disappointing was the service, which was very, very poor. Our server barely gave our table any attention, and seemed very annoyed when we asked a general question about the menu. We will never eat here again. read more

Came here the other day after scootering down the mountain. Decided to eat here because it was nearby. We were seated very quick, but I'm pretty sure there was only one waitress and one hostess helping to run the food. Got the French Dip. Nothing to write home about. The sauce was clearly made from a powder. It was SO SALTY. The fries were good though. I also wouldn't get their lemonade again. Too sweet. My boyfriend's fish and chips were good. I think there should have been at least another person working the patio. We waited for more than 10 minutes for our check and when we got it, we took it to the hostess because we were tired of waiting. read more

If it wasn't for the amazing location right by the tram entrance and being able to have a beer at an outdoor area on a beautiful blue bird day, I would be tempted to give this place a 1 star, mostly because of the service we received. We were here for a weekend ski trip. 1st day was snowing so the outdoor section was closed and we got a table by the window. We ordered nachos with the addition of pulled pork. The waitress, indifferent at best in her attitude, came back to us and confirmed whether or not we wanted the pork, yes we did. But when the nachos came out, guess what, no pulled pork! I guess only good thing was that they were pretty quick at preparing us another one. The waitress never acknowledged or apologized for the mix up. The tastes of this and of the buffalo wings were pretty average. Oh and this was the good visit. Next day, it was a beautiful blue bird day, so we wanted to sit in the outdoor section here. We went to the hostess up front and all the tables were taken and we were told probably a 10 min wait, not a problem. We waited there patiently and watched a table of 4 got up and leave. We asked the hostess if we can have that table and she told us that she has to check with the waitress first that it's ok for the 2 of us to take a bigger table. Mind you, we were the only guests waiting for a table at that point. Another 10 min go by and we haven't seen the hostess even approach any of the waitresses to ask. My husband went to ask 1 of the waitresses directly and was just told very curtly "I'm not the hostess". Finally after we asked again, the hostess went outside to inquire with her, and almost immediately the waitress storms past us and almost yelling "I told her no!". Seriously WTF... That was pretty much the most ineffective and outright rude service I have ever experienced. I love Snowbird, but this place won't ever get our business again! read more

This is like a last resort, i need to sit down type of place. Service was super slow and food is way below average. Like open a bag and heat. My kids mac n cheese made by Kraft as they proudly advertise! Salad with chicken was ok but small portions. Views are amazing tho, patio is great. Service was soooooo slow. What a great venue but Snowbird has let it go to shit because they know out of desperation, people will come. Now you know! read more

Breakfast was fabulous!! Try their French toast with eggs and bacon. A perfect start to the day!!!

I expected a little more from a sit down restaurant that charges $18 for a hamburger. I ordered the shrimp tacos but they didn't have any shrimp so I had the smokehouse burger. The burger was a little rare but tasted ok. The fries were old and gross. read more

Looking for a place to warm up over a hearty breakfast or lunch? Come to Forklift. We came here on the last morning of our visit and I wish we had come across it sooner. They have a good variety of hot breakfast items - i.e. omelettes, breakfast burrito, oatmeal, waffles, French toast, whole wheat pancakes, a signature breakfast dish - 'Dave's Power Spuds' - onion-dill hash browns with mushroom, applewood-smoked bacon & cheese, and they also have cold items - fruit, granola and yogurt. I had a bite of the Power Spuds. They were delicious, and as expected a bit greasy. Giant portions.

Holy sh*t what a disaster our breakfast was. Not sure what happened since the last time we were here but this place needs to get its act together. Service was average to non existent, food took FOR. EV. ER to come out and we weren't the only ones looking around after 30+ mins of waiting. When our food does come, it's cold and my husband's had a nice hair on it. Somehow they were able to make him a new plate in less than 5 minutes though, amazing! Luckily I got the granola and yogurt so it didn't matter if it was cold. It was alright but you could get the same thing for less money at any grocery store. Not sure what was going on when we came but they must be understaffed or under managed or something because it was just not working. After that first breakfast, we didn't come back again during our entire trip and usually we will come at least 2-3 times so it definitely left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Try again next year! read more

This restaurant is perfectly placed across from the tram building at Snowbird. The menu is a classic pub but without a lot of substitutes for crispy fries. The menu is heavy on the meats and a bit light on bird or vegetarian options. I would steer people away from choices that allow the kitchen to reach into the freezer. Frozen burger pucks is what is cooked up here in fact the burger did not taste fresh grilled, but rather out of the warmer. Best items on our table were French Dip and the Pesto cheese melt. Choose carefully, and enjoy the views. Considering the location it is not highway robbery... read more

Great little breakfast & lunch place. Service was good, foot was A-ok. Prices were very reasonable

pwer breakfasts are a must before skiing. The forklift restuarant is well situated before the ski lift.... No irony in it's name! The breakfast selection is fantastic. The Italian egg Benedict were nicely poached eggs served on top of cooked prosciutto and basil all resting on top of toasted egg mc muffin. The hollandaise sauce was requested on the side because you never know with these heavy cream sauces. The dill flavored hash browns are a house speciatly. They were fantastic. Cholula spicy sauce has made it out to Utah, and she married well with the dill hash browns. They offered an interesting oatmeal cream brûlée combo. Oatmeal was cooked with bananas, walnuts and carmelized brown sugar. A bit of warmth, sweet and health in every bite. The spanish omelette was fantastic: hearty sausage chunks, not the oily greasy kind mixed well with the sauteed bell peppers and onions, wrapped up in a fluffy omelette. On a separate occasion had the all egg white garden omelete,,, really good as well. read more

I feel like the food is a hit or miss here. My brother had the fish tacos which were average and the rice it came with was meh. However, I had the pesto chicken sandwich which was delicious with some hot fries. I'd rate this place more but it was a bit overpriced for he food, but I guess you can't expect anything else from ski lodge food. Side note, there's a big fireplace in the middle where guests can dry off their gloves! read more

I like to stay at Snowbird off season, when its affordable and a great getaway 'staycation'. Although its only a 30 min drive from home, it feels like I'm miles and miles away. I enjoy eating at the Forklift. They serve only breakfast and lunch. I've eaten both inside and out; its cozy in the fall to sit inside near the fireplace, and gaze off into the forest through the full glass windows. Sitting outside in the sun in the early morning is lovely too, though your 'view' becomes mainly the climbing wall and other things happening on the deck. I've eaten only one item, because i love it: the eggs benedict. They serve it 'a la caprese', with fresh basil and tomato topping the egg, meat and english muffin with the rich benedict sauce on top. Its so good. mmmmm. read more

I'm being generous with this 2 star review. I came for lunch today and enjoyed the beautiful view inside and out. That's the positive here. I ordered the Blue Plate special. Chicken schnitzel with a beurre blanc sauce ,red cabbage and potatoes. The potatoes were cold and greasy, the cabbage was tasteless and the schnitzel was okay but the breading and the sauce actually took away from the dish. The chicken as a stand-alone item I would give it 3 stars . Worst of all it was the waitresses top recommendation of all the items on the menu. Makes me wonder about the rest of the menu items. Thank God I wasn't in a hurry because the service was very very slow and they weren't that busy. read more

Probably the better of the restaurants I've been to at Snowbird. I've come to find that Snowbird is not where you go for a great meal...The resort has the monopoly and they know they can get by with crappy food. I went here for breakfast and had the hashbrown dish with a over medium egg and it was decent. Meh... The service was pretty great! I always had a full cup of coffee! read more

Convenient and great food. Not a long wait. More low key. Prices reasonable. Butternut squash soup was so good after a long day of skiing.

Always an amazing experience here. Breakfasts are hardy and large in portions, I tend to share with my son, and the lunches are fresh and yummy. Staff is always exceptional. read more

I don't understand the 2,3 star reviews on this place. Trust me I have no problem handing out 1 star for crappy food. This place is delicious. The Staff: is stellar and welcoming. Friendly without being overwhelming. The Food: I've only been here for breakfast and if I could give it 10 stars I would. Possibly the best breakfast in the entire US and I live in Los Angeles so that says a lot. Well done! Is it pricey? No not for the quality or service. Keep up the good work! read more

Among the top continental breakfasts in my 30 short years on the planet. I'm still trying to master the dill homefries now months after my visit in January. Omlette was fluffy and perfectly cooked, loaded with fresh and nicely seasoned toppings. Service was attentive and friendly. The guy asked if he could warm up our coffees every other pass on the table. They have a cool indoor firepit where you can carefully dry off your gloves and scarves. I don't wanna go overboard, but I felt like the line cooks in the kitchen actually love what they do, because I could taste it in the food. read more

We stopped here for lunch after a morning of phenomenal Spring skiing. The restaurant was moderately busy but the service kept up with demand. My husband was anxious to get back out on the slopes, so he was a bit impatient waiting for his veggie burger. It was ready before my fish tacos and he was eyeing it so the waitress brought it for him. The staff were great about it, joking that there our no friends on a powder day. Too true. Apparently there is no such thing as preferential treatment for wives either. My fish tacos arrived a short time later and were definitely worth the wait.the tilapia was perfect; light and flaky and delicately seasoned. I opted for potato salad instead of fries and was delighted to find it very tasty. My loving husband took off after installing his burger which he said was delicious and one of my three tacos. The staff were very apologetic about my meal coming out so much later that they offered to buy me a brownie. It was very generous and if wasn't absolutely content and dated from my tacos, I certainly would have taken them up on the offer. If you are looking for a break and some good eats, give this place a shot. They don't disappoint. read more

Some of the best coffee and pancakes I have ever had. Beautiful scenery and taste food!

Lunch was not good! It had no flavor and cheap tasting! She vice wasn't good...waitress acted put out to be there. Way too expensive for what you get read more

I've worked in a lot of restaurants as a busser, host and server. I'm not saying I'm an expert but here are a few words of advice for the aisle of misfit employees (or is this the training spot?): 1. Even if you can't seat someone right away nicely acknowledge them and say you'll be right with them. Maybe take a name and how many are in their party if there's a line. 2. If someone leaves said line don't make side comments about patience to other waiting customers. 3. Don't ask if a kid is going to eat to determine if you should provide a kid's menu. There's coloring, just give them the dang menu and let the parents decide from there. 4. Try not to drop 5 cups in a 10 min span (only one server seemed to know what she was doing and it wasn't ours, but luckily the dropper was another guy). 5. To our server, water pours easier out of those pitchers if you side pour instead of using the spout. 6. Don't ask if we're chilling and want our check before we even have our food. 7. Don't give excuses about how busy it is, period. But especially when you are clearly not under staffed and there are empty tables. In the end the food was fine, once we got it, but we were really hungry. read more

I come to Snowbird every year and stay in the Iron Blosam (which I love) but I will NOT be going back to the Forklift. WORST service I have ever had. You would think with the prices they charge, the service would be amazing, but it was awful. Food was descent but from sit down to check took almost 2 hours and we ate fast due to being so hungry. VERY disappointed. read more

Avoid this pace if you can. Cuban panini was one of the worst paninis I had so far. Chicken noodle soup was to salty. Kids menu is the usual uninspired American stuff like mac and cheese, chicken tenders etc. Service was not particularly great either. read more

The food is absolutely yummy. I usually came here for breakfast on the ski days. I love egg Benedict with hash brown. Our server was very friendly and we chit chat a lot about skiing. It is a bit of pricey but we would get 5-star food quality and enjoy the beauty of ski resort thru. windows. read more

Horrible service! They act like they don't know they are running a restaurant. Save your money.

It would be wise to not go to this place. Food is barely edible, service is deplorable (can't get the order right, long wait from the one you get sat until someone actually comes over to take your order). read more

The omlette we shared there was very good as we shared the omelette and the hash browns. The scenery was great and the service was very good. I had a delicious hot apple cider with cinnamon which I adored. read more

I've only had their breakfast here but we agreed it was delicious and definitely comparable to LA standards lol. Huge portions, breads were all served fresh and warm (I hate getting a cold english muffin or toast with my eggs), and excellent service. You can come here for breakfast before jumping on the tram to the slopes right next door or renting your gear. read more

For the resort breakfast, this would be my first suggestion over the buffet. The food portions are huge and definitely worth the dollar bills than the buffet, which I think is a tad overpriced. When I came here, we sat in the corner which overlooked the river/creek...it was beautiful! I had the western omlette which came with a heaping pile of dill hash browns and four pieces of toast. This was a giant breakfast for $14!! The coffee was always full and the staff was nice. Great place right in the center of all of the activities. Be sure to check out the tram ride after breakfast - stunning views! read more

When you're hitting the slopes at Snowbird and you feel like getting the full mountain experience, try having lunch here on the same level as the Tram and slopes. We were blazing up and down the mountain and built up an appetite so we made a pit stop. We were quickly seated inside next to the fireplace and treated with gorgeous mountains views. Surprisingly there is a patio option available even in the winter, but we chose to warm up and dine inside. I ordered the French dip which was full of high quality steak with melted Swiss cheese mixed in along with large crispy fries. It was just right, and portioned generous enough to fill you up. The server was attentive and aware that we wanted to grub and go back to snowboarding quickly. To wrap it up, the atmosphere, natural lighting, open gas fireplace, quick service and hearty food was the perfect blend along with getting us in and out! For a quick sit down restaurant, it was perfect. See ya on the slopes! read more

Possibly the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Went here for lunch with a group of 9. There were literally 2 other tables occupied inside the restaurant and not a full patio in the slightest. It took them 10 min to seat us. And another 15 just to get water. Keep in mind almost completely empty restaurant. Then it took 45 min to get our food to us. When we asked to speak to the manager it took her another 20 min to come over to our table. At which point we were done eating and had already paid. She offered us water bottles... and apologized that two of their food prep staff went home sick. Everyone was rude and crazed and unapologetic. And please keep in mind this was not with a full house! Hardly anyone was eating there! Not worth the price and the food was bland. Save your money and your time!! read more

i love their apres ski deal! their ribs are excellent, even for a regular restaurant (and phenomenal for a resort). didn't try anything else there, but if their other food is as good as their ribs, then this place would sit in the upper echelons of ski resort food *anywhere*. read more
