My sister's and I came here for brunch over this last weekend before Octoberfest started. I'm rating this 5 star based on our waiter and HIS service. He was absolutely amazing and hilarious. We enjoyed talking to him and he made our day with his banter. Best service ever thank you!

Perfect for a hearty breakfast before hitting the slopes. Fast service and yummy food. We had the breakfast quesadilla and the veggie bowl. We came back every morning if our stay. Avocado toast was also a hit!

I come here every time I go to Snowbird! It is by far the best food option at the resort. Today, our waiter Joe was amazing with customer service! Will definitely return.

A delicious Sunday lunch. We made it just after 11 so we had to order off the lunch menu. Great spot to watch the first snowfall of the season! The staff was very helpful and checked in on us. Staff and customers wore masks. There was a hand sanitizer dispenser at the counter and the entrance. I had the Banh Mi sandwich, which was delicious. They used American radishes instead of daikon which made it unique. Very fresh and flavorful. I ended up cutting it and eating it with a fork and spoon (I didn’t want my hands to get fishy) I would for sure get this sandwich again! I ordered a side salad which ranch. I should have kept kept the fries because they are delicious and had some type of coating to them. My friend had the Turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich (no avocado though). They thought it was pretty tasty. The bread was very tasty!

The Forklift remains the best restaurant up at Snowbird. Even when they make mistakes, the Forklift makes up for it with great their customer service. The food is always fantastic and our waiter Joe took went the extra mile to ensure everything was great. Snowbird often struggles during the summer to balance price and value, charging way more in some cases yet not quite matching up the service and food with the price. Often times we feel like the attitude is that some of these venues feel like we’re not good enough to be there. That’s not the case with the Forklift. They treat us well, make great food, and have a friendly, inviting atmosphere. And some fantastic French toast.

I had the Eggs Benedict and it was amazing! The hollandaise sauce tasted so fresh, it was like it was made to order. The staff was friendly as well.

Great wings and cold beers. The waitress from Ithaca NY - was awesome. So friendly and offered some super helpful insider knowledge.

Definitely not a bad place so late in the ski season. Service was so/so considering Snowbird decided to stay open an extra week. Our server was super friendly and very accommodating but she had way too many tables. Food was delicious. Will definitely be coming back to try some other items on the menu.
