    Chicken pot pie and quesadillas
    Rick S.

    I'd say in general ski lodge food nationwide is overpriced, underwhelming and designed for convenience and speed all while customers are held hostage to whatever limitations they want to offer patrons. I'll say this for Forklift however, their Chicken Pot Pie was good, with no crust, but a crispy biscuit. My expectations of ski lodge food is tempered by past experiences nationwide, so this was OK and ABOVE AVERAGE. There are limited food options at Snowbird, with 2 food sources at the outdoor slope level, then a decent cafeteria styled "restaurant" (pick salad, pasta or grilled station food and pay at a main counter then seat yourself) as well as a pizzeria then a breakfast pastry/desert and drink place. The other options are for prepared packaged snacks at the market/stores. Given the limited options, Forklift isn't a bad choice to make and I'd recommend it.

    The food is greasy and underwhelming. They used to have great hash browns but now they're just chopped up french fries. Everything about the forklift has gotten lazy. Even the service was a bit slow and when you are hoping to get back out to ski you don't want to be waiting for your server or your check. I do say, the location is ideal for keeping an eye on the crowd and getting back onto the slopes. You would not want to come all the way up here to eat unless you were already planning to ski for the day. Plenty of great, less expensive breakfast spots down in Salt Lake Valley. They really should offer a discount to season pass holders!

    Restaurants need three things, ambience, service, food. This place has ambience as far as you're in the mountains and it's amazing up there. But like most touristy places, you're a captive basically and they're not looking for long-term repeat customers so the food wasn't good, home potatoes were too hard and crispy to get a fork into, the menu has bacon added to everything which should just be an add-on. The pricing is whacky, not to mention high... $12 draught pint of light beer vs $7 pint light beer from a can. One appetizer, two sandwiches and a kids meal, plus four drinks was $145 after tip. The kids working there are from out of town and very nice, but not professional servers by any means so the whole thing is just kinda not great. Beautiful place though...

    Caesar salad

    The dressing for the salad was watery and separated. The food wasn't anything special, but the service is great. A nice place to come in from skiing if you need to warm up!

    I wouldn't go out of your way to eat here, but if your in the Snowbird area, this is good decent food! We had: Beet salad, add salmon. Decent salad, small portion, but good. Salmon was cooked well. Kids burger. Good for kids, fries are yummy! Soup and salad. Good tomato soup, with a roll, and basic side salad. My son loved it! Ruben. Awesome sandwich! Turkey avocado sandwich. Very good! Quinoa and roasted veggie salad. This was a downer, there was nothing roasted about the vegetables, steamed. The dressing had good flavor, but this salad was not at all what I expected and do not recommend it.

    Thank goodness this delicious restaurant is nestled right at the base of Snowbird. No joke, we ate lunch here every day for a week straight. They have a good variety and I wasn't disappointed with anything I got. The waiters/waitresses are super fun and awesome too! I highly recommend taking off your gloves and neck warmers to dry and warm them by the fire. Sometimes they're busy between 12-1 so we try to get there before or after that time frame.

    My sis and her fam are visiting from Vegas for the first time. I was hoping to take them on the scenic tram ride at Snowbird yesterday, especially since I haven't done it myself, but it is currently closed (only open for skiing and snowboarding). They said they're hoping to continue with them in June. We were pretty hungry after exploring a bit and decided to stop for lunch at the Forklift Restaurant. The staff were friendly and brought out baby's food first to keep her occupied and happy, so that was nice :) I got the French dip sandwich and really enjoyed it, though it or the au jus was a little salty for me. My bro-in-law really liked his turkey sandwich on focaccia, and my sis went with a soup and salad combo. Her salad took a long time to come out (when we were all almost done eating), that is my only "complaint". We enjoyed our visit overall!

    Decent spot for sit down lunch at the Snowbird Center base. My son went with the Forklift Burger ($17) which came with fries. He said it was okay - which was not a ringing endorsement. I went with the Mediterranean Chicken Pita ($16) which also came with fries. It was fine. Nothing real special about the food that we could tell - and of course at ski resort prices. Service from Stephen was very fast (they need to the tables quickly with people waiting to sit down).

    Shrimp Taco

    We came here for my grandma's birthday. The staff was friendly. Service was slow, but that was fine. From reading other reviews I expected it to be mediocre food that was over priced. So my expectations weren't high. My cousin had the turkey bacon sandwich. And she said it was good dipped in ranch. Two of us at the table got the shrimp tacos. My second bite into the shrimp had a crunch, after spitting it out I saw it still had the shell on it, it had me grossed out. After picking out all of the exoskeleton out of my mouth I noticed brown things attached to the shrimp.... ALL of the legs were still attached, and I had to run to the bathroom to well, you know.... Non of the other shrimp were like this. So I hope it was a one time thing. However, I was pretty upset lying $20 for 2 tacos that I took 1 bite of and and ended up in the bathroom. I don't think I'll be ordering Shrimp Tacos for a while now.

    Special of the Day. Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

    All Thrills, No Frills ! ! That is Snowbird. But there are some Frills. The restaurants up here. Remember, we are not Downtown or Park City. Snowbird boys and girls. Be stoked you ain't surviving on canned soup and P&B sandwiches. I have been coming up to Snowbird for over 30 years. I have been up at the Iron Blosam for the month of February. I am very stoked to see and eat at restaurants up here at Snowbird, like The Fork Lift. Chef Coleen and her crew are cooking and serving up amazing & yummy food here. In the 4 weeks up here at Snowbird I have tried most of the food items on the menu. And when they have a Special of the Day, jump on it ! Chef Coleen is from Jamaica and one of the Special of the Day was Jamaican Jerk Chicken. YES ! ! So juicy, flavorful and deliciously sensory overload for my taste buds ! One suggestion. The pouring mechanism for the Jagermeister needs to be cleaned of that delicious syrupy elixir so as to ensure proper dosage. Being up here for 4 weeks and ordering several Jagers shots almost daily, I got really good at knowing when the pouring mechanism was off. Please let Coleen do more Daily Specials. Local Jamaican Specials would be awesome. Set her loose and let our tastebuds experience the yumminess she creates ! Thank you Fork Lift for your wonderful service and yummy food. Looking forward to next season !

    Shrimp tacos - just okay
    Chantel M.

    It was nice to be able to find a restaurant open and willing to accommodate our larger party. We were seated pretty quickly, it wasn't busy inside at all. We waited a very long time for our food and drink refills which was shocking due to the spot not being busy. It seemed like other guests waited quite sometime too. Once our food arrived it was very mediocre. I got the shrimp tacos, bland and nothing exciting to write about. I feel this spot is very overpriced for what you receive. I hate giving 1 star reviews especially during the craziness of Covid when restaurants need our support but this one doesn't deserve more than 1. Sadly.

They did NOT have a glass of wine available for less than $45 (+$20 cover). They have $30/glass on the menu but was out of stock according to the waitress. I also did not go to Sundance and am not here for that so his comment about being *out of my depth* is just dumb. I encourage you to look at the one star reviews of this place and see the owners' hostile, immature, and abrasive responses (others also note his blatant habit of lying). Stephen, book a therapy appointment. Original review below *********** There is a $20 cover charge to enter, and they were out of all of the cheapest ($30/glass) glasses of wine, so we were forced to get the next cheapest, a $45 glass of wine. Are you willing to spend $65 for a cheap glass of wine? They also only have five cocktails on the menu and you can't order anything else with liquor (I asked for a hot toddy cuz I'm freezing and they said no can do). The singer was good and the ambiance is nice; not very crowded. But overall, I would never pay $65/glass for mediocre wine unless I'm at an ultra luxury resort (which this is not).

    I would give this place 3.5 stars for my experience here. I was super excited to try this place…read moreout, but it was a little underwhelming. I love the experience of going up the vernacular to the bar area and the hotel and restaurant is very nice in general. The drinks and the food looked good. This is definitely the type of places I always go to with this kind of vibe. The drinks were good and very cute! For the food, I go back-and-forth because it wasn't very good, but it was good for bar food. But then it's really expensive for bar food so I would expect more... for escargot at fancy hotels or places in general I expected to be better and just like a few pieces. This felt like it was quantity over quality. The brussels sprouts were good, I would say that was the best food item that we tried. I was really excited about the escargot, so I'm a little disappointed. Our server was very nice and helpful! It was great service in the bar area, but the staff throughout the hotel getting there was not the friendliest. Overall, I don't regret coming here and I definitely want to give it another chance and possibly try the main restaurant.

Your sister bar in Manhattan is perhaps the greatest cocktail bar ever made - where Dali himself once spent his final happy hours! This is basically a Mariott with 2 fancy funiculars. Not good enough for the brand. Not good enough for inflated rose.

They have something like 10 taps, lots of it is pretty nice craft beer. On Tuesdays, it's only $2! Apparently they have been offering this deal for decades! What's the catch? They are operating as a restaurant so in Utah, you are required to order food with your drinks. They do have some cheaper food options and the servers are very cool with you sharing food. I recommend getting a pizza to share! As far as the food is concerned, it's your pretty standard bar/pub food but a little bit more upscale. So, it's a good spot if you're looking for something that everyone will enjoy. Their pizzas are popular and very reasonably priced. Porcupine is also a great location for post mountain activities and right along multiple trail routes. I frequently find myself here after an intense outdoor activity, looking for air conditioning and good food. The nice thing about them operating as a restaurant is that it's kid friendly! They also have a really nice patio with a beautiful view! See you there on Tuesday!

Service can be slow and the food is unmistakenly Provençal: Beef tartar (nice mustard notes), Saffron Muscles, and Pressed Chicken. All dishes were light and authentic flavors to the region of Provence -- I think we just like other French regions better. HITS: Cocktails; Bread; Poulette (presents as a salad served on pressed chicken) MISSES: The muscles were dry - served in a small puddle of saffron beurre blanc. Service and a remarkable lack of knowledge by our waiter made Le Depot feel more like Le Dope. From the drink menu to the ingredients and preparation of some dishes, the waiter didn't possess some basic knowledge. Maybe we just asked "really hard" questions? The bar for service in PC has been set high by surrounding establishments like Handel, River Horse and Fletcher's, where the waitstaff is knowledgeable and helpful .. this was the lasting memory from Le Depot.
