Heber City

About the restaurant

There's a reason it’s called The Hub. We’ve been at the center of the Heber Valley for nearly a century.

We have been the home of Saturday morning breakfast with the family, a lunch with friends, or even a first date.
We’ve been here after a day at the lake, after an adventure in the mountains, or an early morning before a day on the slopes - or just for a nice meal around the ones you love.

The Hub is more than a restaurant, it’s our own hometown haven where memories are made with family & friends over a lifetime. A lot can happen in a century, especially at a bustling restaurant.

The Hub’s beautiful new home keeps its old bones while creating a refuge to honor the history of our valley and our hard-working families. Our new Hub focuses on getting back to our roots. Dirt on our hands and in our boots, our new mascot Rocky, a highland cow, exemplifies our story. This is the new Hub, the heart of Heber Valley - for this century and the next.

Welcome Back.
