With the recent closings of  La Casita and Cafe Sabor, there was a hole left in the Park City Mexican restaurant scene. Zona Rosa on Main Street is always a strong contender for our least favorite restaurant in town, so that leaves Baja Cantina at Park City Mountain (dependable Americanized Mexican, great for Apres ski) or El Chubasco (for a more casual, order at the counter meal). If you want to venture to Kimball Junction,…

With the current state of the economy, the Park City dining scene has really embraced offering weekly or nightly specials to lure diners out for a night on the town. Aside from the usual discounted or “2 for 1″ entree coupons, restaurants in Park City have been offering great deals all summer long on certain nights of the week, with no need for a coupon. Listed below are some of our favorite Park City restaurant…

Casey and I had the pleasure of dining out at the Grub Steak this week. With all of the great steak houses in Park City, Grub Steak still manages to impress. Competing with restaurants like Prime, Butcher’s, and Ruth’s Chris is no easy task. However, Grub Steak has been open more than 30 years, and it has a classic old Park City atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.
The first thing you notice when you…

A recent trend in Park City is the ever growing population of Irish related pubs, bars, and restaurants. Three Irish themed restaurants have opened in Park City within the last 6 months, joining the 3 already Irish named bars on Main Street including O’Shucks, Mulligan’s, and Doolans. With a total of 6 Irish related F & B joints, it makes me think that the Irish are replacing the Sushi lovers in Park City (13% of…

Ask any Park City local what their favorite sandwich shop is and I bet you 9 out of 10 would mention Back Door Deli.  Originally founded in Jackson Hole, WY in 1997, Back Door Deli moved to Park City a few years ago and has become Park City’s ultimate sandwich shop! Run by brother’s Brett and TK, these two deli aficionados know what great customer service is all about.  They are easily considered the most…

When Squatters took over the location of the famous Mt. Aire Cafe, many locals mourned the loss of one of the last, true breakfast spots in Park City. While the Mt. Aire certainly wasn’t much more than your typical greasy spoon diner, it had a charm about it that brought you back in time. Squatters gutted the interior to give it a much needed face lift, and the atmosphere is that of a trendy, local…

If you’ve lived in Park City for as long as I have, you’d almost laugh at the amount of strangers that walk up to me and say “Hey, you look like you live here. What’s your favorite restaurant in Park City?” I generally respond with a list of questions to better gauge their taste and price range, and then spout off 5 or 6 restaurants I think would fit their idea of perfection. But that…
