The food is great but the appetizers are fabulous and pair excellent with the Porcupine's long list of microbrews.

Description:
Located right at the bottom of Big Cottonwood Canyon (and directly on the way from Little Cottonwood Canyon to Salt Lake City), the Porcupine has a prime location in terms of catching and feeding hungry skiers. With an expansive, two-story dining room, it has plenty of room to seat everyone -- and a highly varied menu to please the diverse crowd that dines here. If you're feeling like beers and apps, take a plate of their *huge* nachos (half price during "appy hour", Mon-Fri after 2:30-5 pm) - or if you're feeling a bit more formal, try some of their high-end entrees like filet mignon. In between are burgers, salads, pasta dishes, and more. A place that truly is great for families with kids or ski buddies having a beer.
