Behind Saltbox
Interestingly, Saltbox was opened by Riverhorse Hospitality Group, which is also the group behind Riverhorse restaurant in Park City.

Riverhorse Hospitality Group has a recipe for restaurant success that the residents of this ski town can be very thankful for.
Location & Environment
Saltbox Eatery & Catering is located in Prospector Square on Main Street in downtown Park City. The exterior of the building matches the contemporary decor of the interior. The facade is partially red brick, with vertical, painted wood shingles around the front entrance. Inside, clean, sleek lines outline the granite-colored countertops that could just as easily be soapstone as cement. Suffice it to say that there is a clean but welcoming feel to the place. A big, sunny front window overlooks Main Street, and the paved, expansive outdoor dining space of Prospector Square.
If you choose to eat al fresco, you’ll be happy to dine in a primarily bug-free environment. Even though you’re outdoors, the atmosphere is clean and fresh, just like the menu at Saltbox. Wide umbrellas offer shelter from the occasional drizzle of rain, while lush green trees create dappled sunshine and shade on the pavement below. This is a great place to grab a coffee and pastry from Saltbox, then sit outdoors with your book, laptop or best friend.
Indoors, customers will appreciate some of the most comfortable seats, including a suede-covered sofa and coffee table and a soft lounge chair.
Saltbox is around the corner from the Park Regency Resort, making it a popular spot for Park City tourists. There’s a large, free parking lot on Prospector Avenue. Then, a short walk around the corner brings you into the welcoming environment of Saltbox. Park City Mountain is nearby, and it’s very common for Saltbox to be the destination for skiers and snowboarders either on route to the mountain or just back from it. Saltbox is open from 8AM to 4PM Monday through Thursday and until 8:30 PM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Eatery
In-house, the tastiest breakfast and lunch sandwiches include a potato egg sandwich that will keep you full for hours. The roasted salmon & grain bowl in a mushroom yuzu broth keeps things light and nutritious, perfect for those who plan to party late into the night in Park City. Finally, vegetarians will appreciate the range of veggie options, like the Keto box, and the power breakfast with kale, broccoli, pumpkin seeds and spinach.
Saltbox also offers these cool things they call Meal Packs. These are to-go dinners for families that you can order online, pick up and heat up at home. The meal packs can feed up to four individuals and are awesome for those who want to come back to their ski chateau and have a heat-up meal ready to eat. Meal packs range from shrimp scampi skewers to chicken parmesan, to tomatillo chicken enchiladas to blackened salmon jambalaya. The chili lime roasted chicken is especially ideal for those with a big appetite.
Customers can simply make their selection from a glass case and get it rung up quickly at the counter. Note that prepared doesn’t mean processed. Saltbox prides itself on its wholesome food selections that are made with taste and nutrients in mind. To put it frankly, it’s the kind of food where you’re better off after you eat. It makes you feel energized and healthy, which fits with the overall feeling in Park City!
Catering
Saltbox calls itself a catering and eatery establishment. Their catering facility is pretty extraordinary, even for Park City standards. They are basically willing to make whatever menu customizations you need, based on dietary preferences. They have a massive catering menu that includes both a la carte items and full meals. Just a few samples include asiago cheese bagels, seasonal breakfast bread, freshly baked crooners, falafel wraps, Thai tofu wrap, turkey brie pesto sandwich, a baked potato bar and more. And that’s just the catering part.
