Profile Draft

The Spotted Dog Cafe runs out of the dining room at Flanigan's Inn, the family-run boutique resort that Rebecca McKown's family has operated in Springdale since the late 1970s. Executive Chef Jeremie Hatch builds the menu around produce grown in greenhouses the McKowns put up across the river in Rockville, with a wine list that has won Wine Spectator recognition. The dining room is one of the few Springdale rooms that locals book for special occasions, and the resort's eco-focused operation gives the kitchen a coherent identity.

For 435 Alliance, the Spotted Dog is a strong listing — multigenerational, locally owned, with a documented chef and a documented farm-to-table sourcing chain.

Unresolved Questions

  • Confirm exact founding year for Flanigan's Inn (brand site says 1984, an stgeorgeutah.com piece references 1978 — likely the family acquisition vs. the current resort branding).
  • Operating LLC for the resort and the restaurant.
  • Whether the Spotted Dog should be listed independently or as part of the Flanigan's Inn hospitality entry.
