Sky Mountain Grill — Restaurant in Hurricane

The Sky Mountain Grill at Sky Mountain Golf Course, Hurricane, Utah

OK, so we recently moved from Vegas to Hurricane, Utah. While settling in we’ve been trying many of the local franchise restaurants (usual fare, mostly usual decent food and service) and also several of the mom-and-pop venues (mixed bag).

A couple of days ago (with somewhat low expectations) we decide to step a bit out of the box and visit the Sky Mountain Golf Course a couple of miles from the house, and try the Sky Mountain Grill for lunch.

OMG, what a view!

OK, so it’s really just a small snack bar with window service, and a limited menu, not a “full-service grill”, but did I mention the view?

Panoramic picture windows reveal miles of magnificent red rock vistas, with the distant Pine Valley Mountain in the background. What a view!

We stepped to the window and ordered the mundane sounding “cheese burger with fries” and a large drink, and settled into our seats (not the cheap stackable banquet ones) and enjoyed the view of duffers on the driving range, practice green, and the first tee box What fun!

In reasonable time our food was delivered by the capable and affable proprietor, Tony, piled high on the plate, with a large stack of crispy fries (made to order) and a large, plump burger festooned with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, pickles and all the trimmings. Wow, this stuff looked good!

One bite was all it took to confirm that this was some GREAT snack food chow. The fries were cooked to perfection, as was the burger (well done). We both remarked that this was a very pleasant surprise.

And did I mention the view?

If you’re passing through Hurricane on the way to Zion, or wherever, FORGET the franchise boxes down on Highway 9/State Street. Vere off the beaten (and boring) path, drive to the incredibly scenic Sky Mountain Golf Course and gorge yourself on Tony’s fare.

You’ll be very glad you did.

Did I mention the...

We stopped here to start the day prior to our Zion trip. Saying the views are breathtaking isn’t enough. A must see! And the grill is whats worth staying for. Breakfast burrito was excellent, and the bacon, oh my the bacon! Thick cut cooked perfectly. Again excellent. Now for the service. Tony behind the counter and cook for our visit was a true gentleman. Taking the time to provide details for our Zion trip and general chat really made the morning. If you find yourself in Hurricane Utah take time to stop here. You’ll be...

This place is kind of hidden back of a neighborhood and on a golf course. But you can go eat here even if you arent golfing. I come here sometimes and get chicken strips and fries. Its around $15 or something but these are some top tier chicken strips if you ask me and the people that work here are always really nice. Also this place has never given me a fake $100 bill like US bank did so Im gonna have to give...
