From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hell's Backbone Grill espouses the values of farm-to-table and local food.[4] The restaurant is supplied by the Hell's Backbone Farm, an organic farm which provides over 20,000 pounds of produce annually; other ingredients are obtained locally.[5]
Despite the remote location, Hell's Backbone Grill has been Zagat rated, receiving a score of 26 for food.[6]
It has received press coverage for both its improbable success and its owners' outspoken opposition to the shrinking of the Grand Staircase National Monument.[7]
In 2020, the James Beard Foundation nominated Hell's Backbone for Best Chef in the Mountain region.[8] The Foundation recognized the restaurant again in March 2022 with their most prestigious nomination to date. Their selection in the Outstanding Restaurant category was a first for any Utah restaurant in the history of the awards.[9]
