Windy Ridge Café

This was a cute little place, we’re visiting from Arizona for the summer. The waiter was super kind and did his job well. The guy that brought our food out was also happy with a smile (his hair was in a ponytail with big earrings). Most the food was really good minus the meatloaf which tasted very “herby”, best way I can describe it hahah! Overall very nice experience and food came out fast! Very friendly staff.

One name - Kelley. She's the manager and she treated us so well it's hard to put into words. My family has lived in Park City for decades and has eaten here for many years. Friends, family, in-laws, co-workers, you can feel comfortable bringing anyone here. The food is always fantastic and we've never had a bad experience. Kinda high end, just casual enough to be a chill, relax spot. The story is, over the summer, I found out that I would be speaking at a wedding where the bride had met the groom by seeing him for the first time at Windy Ridge while she was there with some co-workers and he was there with his family. The bride finished her meal first and went back to work - had all her coworkers download Tinder to see if she could find him there since she figured he was visiting town. Unsuccessful. She went back to the restaurant, he's still there. She sent him a slice of cake with her number attached and the rest is history... because it turned out he knew her, had actually gone to school with her years earlier, and responded via text a few days later leading with her first name. Swoon. This was years ago. Like four or five years. Fast forward to this previous summer, a day before I leave town for their destination wedding in Europe, I reach out to Windy Ridge and see if I can bring a slice of that cake as a surprise for the couple. Regrettably, the bakery said they no longer make the cake - been off the menu for a couple years. BUT THEN. Kelley calls me up after hearing second-hand about the story, tearing up, and decides they can figure something out. They gave me, in truly record time, two cakes in little to-go boxes. Writing in icing - "From Windy Ridge, With Love." AND BECAUSE THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, Kelley also FOUND the menu from when the bride and groom had originally met, framed it, wrote a couple beautiful little notes in it, and sent that along with me in case the cakes didn't survive the journey. Spoiler: the cakes DID survive, although the berries placed on top of them did not, as I kept the cake in my backpack for six days before I ended up giving the speech where I revealed the cake... It was really the thought that counted though, and the menu was actually by far the bigger hit, so. Just want to say, huge thanks to Kelley. She really went above and beyond in this scenario. It was a genuine highlight of the wedding. And on top of that, she does a great job managing the very excellent Windy Ridge.

A great place to stop and get some food that is closer to home-cooked than you normally get. In Park city a good value and we have ordered for a group “to go” and really enjoyed eating in our ski condo.
