Line Cook, Prep Cook, Dishwasher

Hell's Backbone Grill & Farm, soon to be entering its 26th season, is a James Beard nominated farm-to-table restaurant in Southern Utah. We believe deeply in the importance of organic, locally produced, regionally and seasonally appropriate cuisine. On our 6.5 acre farm, we grow vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, and raise hens for eggs, all of which directly supplies the restaurant. We rely largely on local ranchers for the grass-fed and finished meat we serve. Our commitments to environmental and social responsibility are central to our restaurant and farm. 

Though we are located in one of the most remote towns in the lower 48, Hell's Backbone Grill & Farm is bustling during the season (March through November). Surrounded by the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, and on the scenic road connecting many of Utah's National Parks, our restaurant is a destination for many who come to experience the immense and beautiful wilderness that Southern Utah has to offer.
