Steak Pit

I’ve been going to the Steak Pit for years but regret to report it is no longer a quality establishment. Service was terrible and the steak tasteless.

Another work dinner, another steak house. Ate here last night and it didn’t disappoint again. We go here several times a year entertaining guests from out of town, and it fits the bill perfectly.
We started with the bacon wrapped scallops– I would always prefer my bacon a bit crispier than it came out, but that is personal preference. They were tasty and the sauce complimented it very well. We also had shrimp cocktail, which is really hard to do badly, so it was fine. The salad that starts off every meal was very good, although I think they’ve changed it up from years past and that I liked the way they served it previously. When they tell you to mix the house ceasar and blue cheese, you should listen and do it. Yummy. The bread is also very good, grainy and served wtih real butter.
I ordered the filet mignon for the first time (I’m a hard-​core ribeye girl), and I have to say it was cooked to perfection and delicious. I had the steamed asparagus to offset my red meat choice, and wished I’d done the cheesy potatoes or rice instead.
Our waitress did a great job with a large party of 8 and had us all very well taken care of. This is a great place to get a good steak!

Solid, good quality of steak. Not cheap, but didn’t disappoint. Service was very good. Luv how you can bring your own bottle of wine for modest corkage fee. We’ll be back :-)

An outdoor table on a late summer evening, a little steam babbling nearby, and a live band across the the green. Oh yeah, and meat.
The server was a little busy, but came around often enough. The salad was a little wilty at the edges, but I felt the veg detracted from the bleu cheese anyhow. Why are they giving me plants in a steak pit anyhow?!
The ribeye was a good, quality hunk of beef, though the edges were a bit dry. The twice baked potato was really good and garlicy!

Came here during the summer for a team dinner with some colleagues. For a slow weeknight evening I thought the service was a bit slow but we did have a big group. They were out of a few items on the menu. I had the crab legs and the cheesy potato side dish which I only took a bite of the cheesy potato because I had too many appetizers. The sautéed mushrooms were also very good. Over all it was good and would come again.

Not sure what the negative reviews are about. We thought this was a great restaurant. The bread and salad were outstanding, and my trout and my guest’s steak teriyaki were delicious. It’s a little bit pricey, but it’s at a resort, and not a ripoff for the quality and quantity of food you get.

You would think a restaurant specializing in «Steaks Pit» the steaks would be well seasoned juice but no 3 of us had meat and one chicken all were so dry and tasteless, twice baked potatoes were nothing like any twice baked potatoes we’ve ever had would not recommend to a friend. However the server was wonderful.

The overall experience was excellent, especially the service. I had a good Californian Zinfandel and ordered a quite hearty entrée of baked scallops that came with bottomless salad and a side.
They serve warm, dark whole loaf bread with sweet butter, which was tempting enough to make me break my own rules. They make their own salad dressings, which looked rich though I couldn’t partake but they gave me an olive oil and balsamic alternative.
Considering what I’ve spent in restaurants in LA and NY at $ 50 tip inclusive, this was a great experience, excellent service, with good food at the right price. And the dinner ended with a porcupine outside feeding on that bread!

Another reviewer described the food well, «it’s a lot like Olive Garden». Drove up from Sandy to find somewhere to eat with a view. This was not the place to accomplish that. Spectacular drive in… but the restaurant is a lot like being in a concrete bunker.
Server was excellent; hostess needs to mind her tone with the staff. She should not be disciplining the servers where the general public can hear her.

Went up to Snowbird to eat at one of the restaurants. Picked the Steak Pit. 4 of us went. 3 of us got the Filet and 1 got the NY Strip. It was one of the best Filets I’ve ever had. My other 2 friends who got the Filet agreed with my sentiment. My other friend stated the NY Strip was very very good.
Totally recommend and I will be back.

I loved this place! The food and service here were so good we wanted to eat dinner here again the next night before we left to go the airport but there was too long of a wait. Do not miss this place if you come to snowbird. We ordered their artichoke appetizer, filet, ribeye and a bottle of wine. Everything was delicious including the big salad that comes with the meal. Also, our server was great. We were staying at the Cliff Lodge next door and didn’t have a car so were eating all of our meals either at Cliff Lodge or the center and this place was by far the best. We will definitely eat here again when we return to Snowbird. It’s a real gem!

I wish I could give no stars. Snowbird has been really disappointing twice now. No lines in the parking area lead to people taking up two spots. When I took 30 seconds in the big open east lot that looks like it’s reserved for self important employees I got yelled at by a rent a cop. Keep in mind I never got out of my car or turned off my engine and wasn’t blocking anything. Sorry if I wanted to figure out where to park I guess I won’t park and just take my money somewhere else I hope you sink if you aren’t already.

Everything is in a name — and this holds basically true here– yes the blue cheese dressing is nice and the service team friendly and helpful but you go to a steak pit for the steak — and when paying 43 USD for a steak from Idaho you expect much much more. Let’s start with a broiler that can heat the steak to a proper temperature /​steak is not piping hot and plate is cold — and the cut is average — not a true steak house — it survives because of its location — a hungry captive ski crowd with few choices on the mountain. Go because you have to and not because of a Unilocal review. Not so good!

Had a very nice dinner tonight. The filet mignon was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. Service personnel were very attentive and friendly.

Was not impressed by the food. Trout was just bad. Steal was good but not exceptional.

Excellent. We have be going to Steak Pit for years… Always a pleasure to dine here. Snowbird ski resort. Conveniently located in the plaza. Reservations recommended. The filet mignon and crab legs are perfect after a ski day!!!

I have eaten here several times; unfortunately it is hit or miss — and for the prices that they charge, I do not enjoy paying the bill after a miss. The wait staff can be great, or they can be high school kids who are just trying to make a buck and don’t care about providing quality service. Steaks, salads, seafood: this place is great for all of them — sometimes. I am not a fan of sometimes getting quality food and service, so I only give them three stars. If they could ratchet up their consistency, I would give the Steak Pit five stars without hesitation.
I’m sure if you are one of those people who likes to complain to a manager to get a free meal, this place will provide you with plenty of those opportunities.

Excellent steak house and the best blue cheese dressing EVER.
If you like your steak cooked right, this is the place to come. I ordered the filet medium rare with crab legs and it was fantastic. The steak was cooked nicely, if not a little on the rare side, but I would much rather have a steak under than over. Besides, I was so full after eating so much salad with blue cheese dressing that I took most of it home anyways. Even better since I’d be cooking it again!
I really like the décor in this place too, very old-​school steak house feel with the wood paneling and lower lighting. Classy.
Can’t stop thinking about that dressing though… both the dressings, blue cheese and thousand island, are homemade and both equally fantastic. They each come with the family size salad bowl, which is served with all the entrees. Another huge plus for me because I love a good salad when I go to a steak house.
The blue cheese has so so so many delicious, big chunks of cheese swimming in a creamy pool of dressing. I wanted to eat it plain with a spoon. Who needs salad!
Too bad I only come here once a year. Please don’t change, Steak Pit!

A very cool steak place at Snowbird. Everything here was great, the service, the salad was awesome, the reason I give 3 stars is they steak is inconsistent. I at there lest year and the filet I had was excellent though I went the other night and the ribeye was tough and unedible. I will go back though because I overall like the place.

Read the long review for more details. The «Wagyu» is more of a marketing gimmick than actually being better than Prime. That said, they have really upped their game on meat quality. You can get lobster or crab all the time. It’s still fresh, never frozen. So, it’s great. With the better food, perfect mix of old and new school, excellent service, it now gets a rare five star review.
