About

Prepare to immerse yourself in a delightful journey of mouthwatering delights. The history of Back 40 Ranch House Grill is as fascinating as the food is irresistible.

The restaurant's original structure was a ranch house dating over 80 years. In the late 40s, it was moved to its current location and became Heber Valley's first bar.

The north half of the building was added in the mid-1980s, with the latest renovation in 2015. The owners reuse old lumber and fixtures to add a retro vibe and stay true to their sustainable roots.

While the decor is essential to one's dining experience, the primary feature is the food, and Back 40 Ranch House Grill sets the bar high.

In an area surrounded by looming mountain ranges and rolling pastures, this is where farm-to-table cuisine has thrived for generations. Continuing this tradition, it gets beef from the Circle Bar Ranch, located two fields away.

All their bread comes from a local bakery, as does the salt. Rest assured, you're getting locally sourced, fresh, stick-to-your-ribs cuisine. Every dish represents a piece of Heber Valley's rich agricultural history and is as fresh as the mountain air.

The founders of the eatery believe in giving back to the local community. They donate a meal to a local family every Friday based on email nominations.

They offer curbside meals if you're on the go to area attractions like Wasatch Mountain State Park. But if vacationing in Heber City, you owe it to yourself to dine at the restaurant to savor the entire package. Whether lunch, dinner, or brunch, dining at the Back 40 Ranch House Grill promises an unforgettable dining experience.

The relaxing atmosphere has a touch of sophistication and is ideal for casual get-togethers and special occasions. The homey vibe is comfortable and inviting, and feels more like you're in a friend's home than a restaurant. It's the type of vibe to relax with friends or family after a day at Deer Valley Resort.
