Watsons - Sandy

Great tasting hot chocolate!! I like that there is a good variety of hot drinks on the menu and they did latte art with the hot chocolate. Pricing is on-mountain pricing but the location is great since it's a place to stop mid-run. There are bathrooms and lots of seating inside the lodge.

Big disappointment. As a long-time Alta devotee I was shocked, shocked that Watson's has gotten rid of all the favs: No more burgers; no grilled cheese, no fries; no pasta or Mac and cheese. only two soup selections--and those are mediocre. Price tag for bowl of meh chili salad: $37...

They got rid of the burgers!!! That's really the entire reason for this review, but Yelp requires a longer review. The burgers are sorely missed.

Tried the burger at the grill due to its claim of being voted Utah 's Best 100% grass fed beef burger . It 's not clear who voted for this, but given that on mountain dining is limited I figured, why not give it a shot? The burger was tasty, but nothing special. Also got a half chicken pesto pizza it also was tasty but average for pizza. The burger and half pizza set us back $30 obviously steep for city standards but standard for on mountain dining. Would I dine here again? Sure options are limited on moutain and Watson 's fills the belly and satisfies the taste buds well enough, just don 't expect anything out of the ordinary.

Watson's is nice. Located mid mountain under the Collins lift it is easily accessible. Park ski up top for easier return to angle station. We use it mainly as a coffee stop. Cafe downstairs serves up some delicious coffee. If you are naushey then head upstairs to the cafeteria or up another level to Collins Grill, which is a bit more upscale, serves up wonderful vistas to the Mountain and surrounding area.
