4.5 stars. It’s worth the short detour off hwy 12 to visit Sweetwater Kitchen— and if you’re looking for a place to stay and want to tap in to your inner hippie, check out the rooms at the resort. While you’re at it, drive up Hell’s Backbone to the top and check out the 5 star views.
We enjoyed the food that was served at Sweetwater. The portions were abundantly sized. We began with a smoked trout dip the moved on to two different salads— the wedge being particularly excellent and then split a chicken pot pie. It was rich! No room left for desert. The service and setting were top notch. This is a fine establishment and my only recommendation would be to cut the serving sizes by a third. We plan on returning.

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!

Highly recommend this restaurant for their high quality and lovingly prepared cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting. All of our needs were anticipated by wait staff including the marvelous E. Our dinner for nine (both vegetarians and meat eaters) will be remembered by our family as the very best on our weeklong trek visiting Utah’s national parks. Dessert (cheesecake and bread pudding for us) is not to be missed! Sweetwater Kitchen is about an hour leisurely drive from Capitol Reef National Park, through the Dixie National Forest (Aspen trees) with roadside pullouts for expansive vistas.

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!:)

Phenomenal food in an incredible setting. The beef is sourced from the surrounding ranch lands, which are farmed using regenerative agriculture. The steak was one of the best of my life, and the side dishes were just as delicious and memorable.

Oh I really wanted to love this place! And it started off with great promise: we were surprised by a fabulous little amuse bouche, and the salad was terrific. But the entrees were clumsy, as were the staff. My chicken pot pie was overspiced (and I like spice – it just took away from enjoying the dish); my partner’s cheeseburger came with a thick wad of grocery-store tomato, undercooked ancho pepper, and again grocery store pickles. Would have been fine if it was an ordinary burger place, but based on the start (and the inn itself) we thought it would be a step up. And then there was the music – kitchen staff was enjoying it anyway! Overall, it was fine… but not fine dining.
PS – why was the staff wearing nametags that were not their name? Some kind of inside joke among themselves that they didn’t want to explain.

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.

We came down in the end of July and I had heard about this place through the grapevine and wanted to give it a shot. It’s in a pretty obscure location which added to its charm and although a long ways away from any other business which was a nice change.
The food was okay but the selection for meat was odd. Once you chose a weight of meat, the next person could not get the same weight. It was kind of like “we only have one 8oz ribeye today, so if someone else wants one they can get a 10oz or a 6oz” which was unusual
The service was kind of frustrating which is why I am eating a 3/5 stars. My wife and kids all ordered steaks, and I wanted to try the adobo pot pie. The steaks were finished before the pot pie and I watched them sit under a heat lamp for several minutes until I finally flagged down a server and asked if they were our steaks and if so, we’d like to have them and that I’d wait on the pot pie. The server seemed really confused why I’d ask for such a thing and took a couple more minutes to walk 20’ and bring us the food that was ready. I finally received the pot pie and it was okay albeit a little homogenous in flavor (normally you can taste the ingredients with the seasonings but in this case every bite tasted uniform and lacked variance in flavor). My family was happy either way their steaks though.
Overall, the atmosphere was fun. The service needs some work, and the food was so-so (not gross, but not memorable).
