This Restaurant Way Out In The Utah Countryside Has The Best Doggone Food You've Tried In Ages

By Catherine Armstrong | Published November 13, 2018

The tiny town of Hanksville has just over 200 residents, and it’s far off the beaten path for most Utahns – you’ll find it at the junction of UT-SR 95 and UT-SR 24. Once you find Hanksville, you’ll also find a delicious steakhouse that you’ll definitely want to try.

Duke's Slickrock Grill is named after John Wayne, whose nickname was "The Duke."

You'll love the atmosphere here. Check out the antique bar, and look who's standing behind it.

...and of course, there's plenty of John Wayne memorabilia, too.

The Duke might be long gone, but if he were still around, he'd definitely love the food here. The breakfast platters are piled high with comfort food that will fuel you up for the day.

If you're visiting for lunch, you'll want to try one of the juicy burgers on the menu. You won't find pre-formed, frozen beef patties here - just tasty fresh beef, grilled to perfection.

You'll want to bring your appetite for dinner. The dutch oven BBQ ribs are savory and tender...and they cover the entire plate!

The tender trout takes up the entire plate, too.

Enjoy craft beers from Utah breweries with your meal.

Duke's Slickrock Grill is well worth a visit, and you can stop by seven days a week. It's open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m..
