We get it: sometimes you simply need a really good steak. Fortunately, in Park City, you’ll find a superb steakhouse ready to serve up just what you’re craving. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or refueling with a hearty dinner after a day on the slopes, your expectations will be exceeded at any one of these excellent local eateries.
Butcher’s Chop House & Bar
Situated in the heart of historic Old Town Park City in the Caledonian Hotel, Butcher’s Chop House & Bar features a family-friendly dining room, a classic wood-paneled whiskey bar and unique Alpenglobes for outdoor dining. The menu features everything you could want at a steakhouse.
Start your meal with a tantalizing appetizer like lobster nachos (with house-made pepper jack cheese sauce, jalapeño, cotija cheese and house-made corn tortilla chips) or polenta crusted fried calamari (served with fried jalapeño peppers and lemon wheels drizzled with a honey-citrus glaze).
When it comes to selecting just the right steak, choose between prime rib, filet mignon, a bone-in cowboy ribeye and more. Beyond beef, the menu also includes lamb chops, pork chops, blackened halibut and Alaskan king crab legs. Butcher’s is truly a classic steakhouse vibe with luxuriously-satisfying fare.
In addition to an excellent menu, Butcher’s also offers an extensive wine list with options for every palate and price point. Alternatively, sip on some top-shelf whiskey or one of their signature handcrafted cocktails like the Butcher’s Manhattan (local Alpine Distillery Lafayette whiskey, bitters, and sweet vermouth).
Ruth’s Chris Steak House
If you’re looking for a steakhouse experience that’s truly a cut above, look no further than Ruth’s Chris Steak House. All of their premium steaks are cooked using a patented broiling method developed by the chain’s founder, Ruth Fertel. Seasoned to perfection, each steak is served sizzling on a 500-degree plate.
The menu features a lineup of signature steaks and chops including classics like a t-bone, ribeye, porterhouse and New York strip. Specialty cuts include a bone-in New York strip, bone-in filet and tomahawk ribeye — all showcasing USDA prime beef that’s wildly tender and flavorful.
Of course, diners with an eye to options beyond steak can find exceptional choices, too. Live Maine lobster, Chilean sea bass and Alaskan king salmon await seafood aficionados, and plenty of flawless salads, soups and sides round out any entree. These classic dishes — many based on the founder’s original recipes — have been loved for decades for good reason.
Grub Steak: A Western Steakhouse
Should you find yourself craving a great steak in a more relaxed steakhouse setting, head to Grub Steak. Exuding a sophisticated western charm, Grub Steak serves up grass-fed beef that’s grilled to perfection. The Park City eatery has been beloved by locals and visitors alike for over 40 years.
Kick off your meal with a mouthwatering starter like steamed clams (hardshell clams in a savory white wine, tomato and herb broth) or a jumbo artichoke (grilled and served with lemon caper aioli and drawn butter).
Grub Steak’s lineup of steaks is, as expected, impressive. Choose between a tomahawk ribeye, Australian 2GR wagyu ribeye, porterhouse, tenderloin or prime rib. If you’re hungry for something on the wild side, elk sirloin and bison tenderloin await, as do tender pork ribs and aged natural lamb chops.
For those craving seafood, order up Cedar Baked Idaho ruby trout (basted with orange basil butter) or Alaskan king crab legs. Challenging as it may be, try to save room for dessert. You won’t want to miss out on options like Decadence Cake (chocolate cake iced with chocolate ganache and raspberry puree) or a classic creme brûlée (finished with burnt sugar and fresh berries).
Edge Steakhouse
An exceptional fine dining experience, Edge Steakhouse is located in the Westgate Park City Resort. Guests are invited to select a tantalizing tasting menu that features some of the restaurant’s most celebrated dishes or, alternatively, order from the full menu.
Mouthwatering starters at this award-winning steakhouse include steak sashimi (seared, hand-cut wagyu with wasabi mashed potato and spicy garlic jus) and wagyu tartare (served with soy-cured egg yolk, cornichon, watermelon radish and focaccia crostini).
Each steak on the menu is carefully sourced and even more carefully prepared. Tuck into Miyachiku award-winning wagyu from Japan, the highest-rated beef in the world. Or select full blood Australian wagyu from Stone Axe Japanese Black Tajima cattle raised exclusively at high altitude in New South Wales and Victoria. No matter what you select, it’s destined to impress at Edge Steakhouse.
Other entrees include king salmon (served with shrimp and shiso mousseline, celeriac gnocchi and fennel cream) or a half chicken (Buddhist-style with garlic mashed potato, carrot, cippolini onion and asparagus). Even the lineup of sides is flawlessly indulgent: Truffle twice-baked potato, black and white truffle mac and cheese, creamed street corn and more. It’s absolutely an elevated dining experience, offering a refined constellation of steakhouse classics.
