Great experience. Service was a little slow but the food was amazing. We were there over Memorial Day weekend.

With Hell's Backbone Grill just down the road, the gold medal is gone and other restaurants are just in competition for second place. That said, Sweetwater Kitchen is a fine place and a worthy contender. I went there twice for dinner during recent time in the area. Once, I have the NY strip steak; the other time, I went for the sumptuous chicken pot pie. Both were very tasty and well prepared. To go along with excellent salads. Sweetwater Kitchen is a very good restaurant, even as they were having some early-season staffing issues.

I've had dinner here several years in a row. I don't know what changed but our dinner here this time was a step up and quite good. I recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

The meal I had here was one of the best I’ve ever had! It’s so cozy inside, and we ended up last minute booking a stay at the attached lodge which was the best time! Highly recommend both!

Adorable hidden gem. Off the beaten path but worth the side quest! We had burgers after a long hike and they were perfect. Great craft beers, cute decor and incredible service. Our kids devoured the dessert pie, including the homemade ice cream.

Our dinner at Sweetwater Kitchen, on a weekday evening in November 2024, was fabulous -- by far the best of the three foodie meals of our trip across southern Utah to visit the national parks.
GF and I enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks with included sides of veggies. Server Ellie was attentive, engaging, and professional. In spite of Utah's crazy wine rules, a bottle of a delicious Cotes du Rhone from the menu paired perfectly with our food. Ellie's cocktails were delicious, too. The atmosphere was relaxed and unpretentious in keeping with the property's guest ranch vibe.
I highly recommend Sweetwater Kitchen! It's probably best to call ahead to verify the restaurant is open and, if so, to make a resy, as Boulder is a very small place.

Great experience in a Western ranch setting! The drive to get there from nearby Escalante will take your breath away when you cross the ridge on Route 12 known as “The Hogs back”. We had Tenderloin and Ribeye from Cows raised on the ranch. (Not listed in survey below)

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.
The restaurant is located directly in the main building of the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch. Fine cuisine is offered at reasonable prices. The meat comes from the ranch and is highly recommended. The service is quick and very accommodating.

Beautiful atmosphere... but the food is mediocre at best. The staff hardly remember what is being served.

Home grown meats were solid but not allot of choice for a vegetarian. Salad dressing was divine!
