Heber City

One benefit of Snake Creek Grill's location—twenty-plus minutes outside of Park City—is that it is decidedly not touristy. The food is so excellent, it truly feels like you've found a hidden gem. Located in Heber Old Town (formerly Heber Creeper Railway Village), Snake Creek is set up like a three-floor, Old Western-style saloon. The menu has crowd-pleasing variety, but we recommend the ribs; they really are outstanding.

This local bowling alley, with its original ball returns and pin machines, is a bit of a time-warp—and it’s awesome. The same family has run Holiday Lanes since 1964, and they’re known for their classic malt, which they make using hand-mixing machines from the 60's. We recommend the burgers and fries, too, which are almost as much of a draw as the bowling.
