New for our autumn menu 🍁 we are thrilled to be offering a delicious and hearty dish created by our dear Head Chef, Tyler Warren.

We are serving it crispy skin style, pan-seared with local mushroom risotto- see the photo of Tyler with a bouquet of a lovely flush of blue oysters from fremontriverfungi butternut apple purée and our vibrant farm red currant gastrique. A visual and savory delight.

A precocious and delightful 10 year old guest named Felix told us tonight that while he always loves to eat duck, this particular version was, in his words, utterly amazing!

Happy autumn beloved friends! You are cordially invited to join us for our Annual Harvest Feast of Gratitude November 26th & 27th 2026!

We are offering three seatings for our elegant multi-course harvest celebration dinner 🍁

You can expect an exquisite combination of plated and family-style dishes, served communal-style at long tables. Apple-c***r-brined, butter-basted turkeys will be accompanied by bountiful side dishes.

And of course, a sumptuous array of desserts and sweets like our Dark Magic Pear Gingerbread with salted butterscotch sauce and Pecan Pie with chile and dark chocolate.

We take enormous pleasure and pride in preparing a nourishing meal with ingredients sourced from our own farm and local growers and producers. We love to celebrate the end of our season with this harvest feast 🌿

We’re looking forward to welcoming you for dinner! Make sure to show up early for our pre-dinner tradition of sipping hot spiced c***r overlooking the bird sanctuary, where we serve small bites around the bonfire.

Reservations are open now — link in bio!

If you are in the Salt Lake area, please attend this rally and show your support for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase. Honestly, turn out for EVERYTHING that is good and sacred and imperiled in our state and country. Go hear our friend Caroline Gleich and then GET OUT THE VOTE as early as you possibly can. Also, vote NO on both amendments.

I’m honored to be speaking this Saturday, October 17, at the Utah State Capitol. Our democracy works when we show up for it, and Utahns have never been afraid to stand up for what we love: our land, our water, our freedom to vote, and each other.

Join me on the Capitol steps. Bring your people, bring your signs, and let’s keep it peaceful and powerful.

📍 Utah State Capitol, Salt Lake City
🗓 Saturday, Oct 17 · 3-5 pm

UPDATE! The talk was thrilling! Signed copies of "This Haunted Land" are now available in our gift shops at the lodge and restaurant, and coming up soon on our website hellsbackbonegrill.com

Join Blake and Nina in the Boulder Mountain Lodge (UT) common room this Wednesday at 4 pm for an in person (and ghostly) reading, discussion and signing by our dear friend and distinguished author Betsy Gaines Quammen!

Betsy will take us on a spooky and supernatural road trip across America, from an Underground Railroad site in Ohio to the swamps of Arkansas and through Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. This Haunted Land explores our unsettled past and why we need ghosts and ghost stories to understand human histories. We will offer festive libations and bites as we gather with Betsy by the fire.

We have lots of space for attending the reading in the common room! Availability for lodging is limited, but we still have a room or two left, definitely call us at 435-335-7460 if you need help finding an alternate place to stay. Afterwards we can all go get yummy dinner from our frisky new restaurant Little Bone by Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm ✨👻✨

The autumnal farm is producing beautifully for us thanks to the effort of our hard working farm crew led by Jennifer Birdie Ringquist 🌱

Head Chef Tyler Warren is featuring every bit of the fresh harvest in our nightly specials and on the dinner plates. You can also find the delicious bounty in Little Bone’s dishes.

Our awesome head bartender Nate Geesaman has invented many craft cocktails and mocktails over his 13 seasons with us, but never have they been more delicious than this year.

On the menu at this moment, a Blackberry Wh***ey Sour hand-shaken with farm egg whites and Rye from our friends at Black Feather Spirits. Cheers!

On July 13, the Trump administration shrunk our national monuments by 90%, the largest shrinkage of protected public lands in US history. Restore the national monuments. Protect public land.
