Sammy's Bistro -- A Pleasant Surprise from a Strip Mall Restaurant

Last night, on our way to an attempt at twilight golf at Park City Golf Course (the best deal in Utah for golf, I might add), we stopped to grab a quick dinner.  We were heading to the new Chinese restaurant, A Wok Away, but ended up seeing Sammy's Bistro.  I'd heard good things about it, but never think much about it since it's hidden away in a strip mall that is definitely not top-of-mind.  Last night we went for it and I was pleasantly surprised.  Good food.  Very fast for a sit down restaurant -- though we could have lingered a bit longer if we didn't have golf to play.  And very reasonably priced.  Park City restaurants aren't known for being inexpensive.

Reed had three fish tacos for $10 and I had a chicken curry rice bowl for $8.  Pretty good....So good that we splurged for some key lime pie and it was the highlight of the evening.  So if you have a chance, try this one.

Sometimes there are some real gems hidden away in those strip malls.

Burr Trail Grill - The BEST Hamburger EVER

Driving along on Utah's scenic byway Highway 12, we were discussing our meals over the weekend and nothing hand been particularly great (I did have some good cornbread but that's about it) and R brought up how nice it would be to run into some diner or local place and get some lunch.  Well minutes later, in Boulder, Utah, we saw the Burr Trail Grill and decided to stop.

I am glad we did.  It was the best hamburger I have ever had. 

"The Famous Boulder Burger: Our burgers are made from heirloom longhorn ~ born and raised at a local ranch right here in Boulder, Utah: Eagle Star Ranch Longhorn Beef. ~USDA stamped and approved. ~Raised without growth hormones, antibiotics or vaccinations. ~Grass fed; pure pasture raised and finished. ~Free roaming. ~Extra lean and lower in cholesterol and calories than chicken or turkey."

They have a variety of burgers.  We had the Egger (which had bacon, fried egg, herbed aioli, and beehive full moon cheddar) and the Red Rock (guacamole, chipotle aioli, tomato relish and behive smoked habanero cheddar) and both were incredible!

So next time you're down in Boulder, Utah (or just in the vicinity), Burr Trail is worth the trip.
