Samak Store & Smoke House

We stopped here on the way to go snow shoeing by our guide to grab snacks for our little adventure. To our dismay the shop wasn’t going to open for some time so we decided to stop here on our way back…
Well after 8 miles of snowshoeing Samak did not disappoint. We loaded up on sandwiches, smoked trout, jerky, smoked cheddar cheese, all of which are made in house!
And you must grab a handful of Samak stickies! (Peanut butter cookie bites also made in house)

Make sure you stop at this great find in Utah!
This was our first trip to go investigate the beautiful Uintas in winter and we stopped by here on our way back down off the hill. I didn’t get the name of the owner/​woman who was running the store, but she was delightful. We chatted about the quaint ambiance, her location, and her amazing selection of local foods, including their made in house selection of jerky. My husband liked the chipotle and I loved the traditional. Both were cherry wood smoked. My husband likes a little more smoke flavor, but I thought it was very good.
We also bought the smoked cheddar and trout which we will try out on the big Game Day.
After reading a few of the reviews, I can’t wait to stop in here when they are making bar b que dinner.
What a great find in Utah!!!

We drive by this place all the time and never stop in. I just assume this is some crap store. But I keep seeing the word «Smoke House», so today I stopped in.
Timing is everything, and it was my lucky day, the owner, a nice young man walked out of the country store with a big basket and was headed to the smoke house. He gave us a little tour of his operation and even gave the three of us a sample of turkey jerky and the beef jerky. HOLY SMOKES, this stuff was not good, it was EXCELLENT. They make it right there, using fresh meat and no preservatives etc. This is not the cardboard they sell at mini-​markets. This is killer stuff.
We went back into the store and bought three different types of jerky. They have a sandwich shop in this place and I wonder if the friendly gals in this place can make a sandwich as good as the jerky. I will be stopping each time I go hiking in this area. Can’t wait to try a sandwich.
This is the type of discovery you are looking for when you use Unilocal!I can’t believe I drove by this place for so many years. I wonder if name SAMAK is KAMAS spelled backwards. There is nothing backwards at this place just backwoods fresh!

Their beef jerky is the best. No, I take that back – their beef jerky changed the way I thought about cured meat. Their beef jerky is paradigm-​shifting. I was born anew in its brilliance. It’s almost ridiculous how good their stuff is. Anyone who cares at all about being a carnivore, or even an omnivore, should do themselves and their grandchildren a huge favor and obtain some of this life-​changing jerky.

Jerky is awesome, fresh and not too salty. I always stop by whenever I’m in the area to get some jerky to take home. I’d recommend the chipotle beef jerky — I’ve never had anything like it!
The owners are usually there and they are super friendly. Definitely make a stop if you’re in the area.

I definitely recommend this place!
Great place to grab a bite or carry food before hiking/​picnic. It’s around 1.5 miles on highway 150 which is is heading to Wasatch National Forest (road to Mirror Lake). We stopped there for early dinner. BBQ started at 5 PM. Great food for the area and they have food for hikers to go and simple variety of hiking /​outdoor supplies.
Cashier and BBQ chef were super friendly. We also bought beef jerkey, smoked trout and other great stuff. They do have a good variety of local and national beer.
A tourist guide in SLC told us that the name SAMAK is the mirror effect of KAMAS. Very fitting for a restaurant situated on the way to Mirror Lake :)

This is a little store on the side of the highway where you can stop for Jerky or a quick bite.
They have fishing and camping supplies before you head up in the mountains. They also have beer and drinks for sale as well. You can grab a hoodie or a latte before you head out on the road.
The cashier was super sweet and helpful and made an awesome mocha latte with mexican chocolate. Too bad I wasn’t hungry because their sandwiches sounded so good.
They do close kinda early (passed by at 6:30 on a Thursday and they were closed)
It is worth stopping and taking a look.
