The Pioneer Kitchen - Torrey

09/13/2022. Dinner 4 people. 2 steaks, 1 trout and 1 catfish tacos. All enjoyed very much. Trout was especially good. Chicken Nacho platter for appetizer was big enough for all to share. Our waiter I think was also the manager. He was very nice andknowledgeable of the menu. We had a 5:00 seating due to the whole restaurant reserved at 6:30 for 2 busses. This seemed to makethe the manager a little nervous or stressed and it showed.

Took my whole staff here after canyoneering in the area! Burgers were excellent. Our waiter Shaun was very personable and shared many local secrets of cool places we could check out.

A low budget operation trying to turn a big profit, not because they deserve it but because they feel they can get away with it. Either the owners are very out of touch or they?re just straight taking advantage of people, because the food and experience waslaughable. Looking at the food prices I was expecting it to be really good, but unfortunately the food was just way over priced($20+ per plate) portions were very small, probably the first time where I?ve gone to a restaurant and then lost my appetiteonce I saw the food, it was just very sad looking. The only reason I didn?t give it one star is because the flavor was there forthe most part, but that may have partially been due to how low my expectation was after seeing it. On top of all that, theservice was poor, and we had waited over 1 hour to get our food. Such a disappointment, but I should?ve seen the signs aheadtime and gone somewhere else.

We enjoyed dinner here twice. The food was good and the serving staff very friendly.

Portions were smaller than expected and there isn't a ton of variety, especially on the kids menu. Food was fine but nothing to write home about. Service was attentive but not in our faces. Almost every item on the menu comes with fruit and potatoes,including the kids menu (even though it isn't listed there; that was confusing). Overall, I wouldn't be against eating hereagain, but it wouldn't be at the top of my list.
