50 Best American Restaurants near Cottonwood Heights

“The complimentary bread is good it comes in a sliced loaf that is hard to pull apart. The clam chowder is good and im not a big fan of clam chowder. The crab cakes are pretty good nothing special. The food takes a while we went when it wasn't crowded and I got the fish and chips and fried shrimp and it comes with fry sauce tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. It is a size able portion. The frys are skinny and very good crispy. And the fried shrimp is really good and the texture of the shrimp is amazing. And it came with cosla and it was amazing. Over all great restaurant. The scenery is also great.

Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to red fish and getting the fish and chips they were very acomading for cooking it.

Kid-friendliness: They have a great kids menu.“

“I have been to Root'd Cafe many times now, consistently delicious! Go try it“

“Amazing food and service. Mattie was the best and made sure everything was just right. Highly recommend the prime rib which was beyond amazing“

“Our experience with Tyler was so great we had to go back. Food was phenomenal and Tyler and Charlie are the absolute best. They gave us recommendations for additional stuff to do tomorrow while we're still in town. Charlie got us a cucumber margarita with Vida Tequila. Amazing! One thing to note that disappointed us was Veronica's unprofessional and territorial attitude when we ask for Tyler. Tyler had already said it wouldn't be a problem and we even thought that we would go back out and come back if necessary to make sure we got the right spot. She had an attitude with both her coworker and gave poor attitude and service to us. She came back to the table after arguing with Tyler AT THE TABLE. They left to sort it out and Veronica came back and told us she'd be serving us and Tyler would only be making the drinks. We were not interested in that and again asked for Tyler and she told us no we should have asked for that earlier (we already did BEFORE she ever approached our table). So at that point we were willing to walk out of the building and come back and be even clearer if we needed to be. We were not interested in having Veronica serve us at all at that point. Luckily the bar was wide open where Charlie and Tyler were so we moved instead to get the service and experience we wanted and had already experienced. It would have been nice to be able to stay the table since we were a party of 6, but made the best of our experience. As a whole this restaurant and company are amazing, I cannot say enough. So nice we came here twice, but unfortunately Veronica's attitude is strong enough to leave a very negative impact on someone who isn't willing to stand up for what they're looking for.“

“The atmosphere was great… Tracy was running crazy while the Burnett server was talking to friends. The door guy sat on his phone and feel he could if maybe stepped in and helped a little. Over all great place but suggest going on a night Tracy is serving.. she is tentative and friendly. Patrons are great..food was fantastic! Had wings and soup.. great job cooks! seems to be a lot of locals who also visit… I will be back for sure.“

“Love love love this place!! Everything is homemade & absolutely amazing!!!! Staff is amazing !!!! Everything was perfect!!!“

“Always perfect and delicious! For sure try their geen sauce. Amazing!“

“Really enjoyed the evening. Our server Bella did a great job. My husband’s first time and he really loved it. Thinking about doing Family Christmas dinner.“

“This little place is a great find. Wonderful cafe atmosphere with a patio, super friendly staff, quick service and fantastic breakfast and lunch menu. Everything is perfect.“

“This burger changed my life. Pastrami, corned beef, beef, gyro meat, I am feeling sleepy now. This sandwich is the truth. After a horrible breakfast experience in Payson IHOP, Apollo has redeemed Utah for food single-handedly“

“We came in had a 30 minute wait. Got on the list and waited longer and they said we already called you and didn’t even offer us the next seats. They just looked at us like see you .later. Horrible service. I will never go there again.
**Update** A manager contacted me to discuss my review. I gave her all of the details and she apologized and invited us back with a gift card. I told her I didn’t want anything, I just wanted to be heard and to let those workers know how their customer service needs to be improved. She offered us the gift card to “make things right”. I appreciate her sincerity and will try again in the near future.“

“What amazing Stromboli’s. So fresh and full of so much flavors. Kyle greeted my wife and I when we arrived to pick our sandwich a up. We were a little late and were offered new fries. What a great jester. I would recommend everyone to try this at least once. You will always come back!!“

“October 13, 2022, my sister and I went to Leatherby's for lunch at 12:10 p.m. We order a Philly cheese steak sandwich, and we waited 20 minutes for it, it was barely warm. It had hardly and meat, green peppers, onions on it! I said to the waiter this Philly cheese steak sandwich was on the Menu said The BEST Seller. It had nothing is on it; he took it back and (they probably spit on it) when came back it STILL hardly had any meat etc. on it! It was the worst Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich!!! Service VERY Poor! Food VERY POOR!!!“

“Great bowls, reasonably priced.“

“Best Carmel sauce in the world. Please, please, pretty please start accepting door dash an/or Uber eats.“

“We are visiting Utah for a few days and had dinner here. Our server Maddie was very pleasant and efficient. The food was fabulous. Our table ordered white cheddar Broccoli soup, cauliflower appetizer, polenta with prawns, teriyaki steak, and lemon risotto with salmon. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We took our conference participants to Chubbys last night. We had the best time! The servers were so nice, helpful and incredibly attentive! The food was so ymmy! Everyone that came commented on how wonderful the food and service was. Mark was great to work with and made our conferece wonderful! Thank you so much for a SUPERB experience! We will definitely come again!“

“Amazing southern food! Best I've had in Utah!!“

Vegetarian options: Customized options for vegans and vegetarians in group.

Dietary restrictions: Handle celiac, vegetarian, vegan, and whole-food vegan well.“

“I've been there probably a half a dozen times and it was always hilarious and fun“

“I recently got pushed out of my favorite restaurant due to bad service (they'll drop the check when I'm halfway done with my food) and restaurant management ( arguing with me about having to charge me for food I didn't even order). Tonight really was a breath of fresh air. The hostess sat me the moment I walked in the door and had nice welcoming chat as we walked. The server was very accommodating to my household dietary needs and the manager on duty was very eager to hear about my recommendation for taking care of the plants in the foyer (I garden as a hobby and love plants). The hostess also asked if she could take my plates off the end of the table, on her way back from seating another table. Tonight was the experience that I seek in a restaurant.

And the buffalo cauliflower was absolutely amazing. I'm a bit disappointed that there's no longer a sweet chili sauce.“

“Amazing food, amazing server. I only wish I could remember his name to give him a personal comment“

“have been there a couple dozen times and will keep going back the HOSS is the best thing but it is the only thing I have ever had but everything is great the waitresses are all very nice and helpful but please don't take my word for it get there and try it for yourself it is the best place to eat it is my Saturday morning spot the one on 1700 south was there yesterday. So get off the couch and please get to Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade you will be happy you did... also get on the wait list before you get there it's a busy place because it is great“

“We had a great lunch and their manager, Chance, was a delight!“

“Love this beautiful place“

“My family comes here everytime after we go dirt biking and we love it! The food is delicious, and always very quickly served. The new pumpking spice shake was also a wonderful blend, and wasnt overpowering. The workers kind, very personable and efficient. Clean facility.

Parking: Parking just behind there facility. Sufficient size to turn around our truck and trailer.“

“Our server, Joy was a joy! ample food and great service. Full bellies!“

“Ate there today. Very yummy and friendly staff“

“These are some of the absolute best burgers in Utah. We got the garlic burger and the Supersmash burger this time. The fry sauce and hickory sauce are to die for as well - I’m a sauce person. The flavor and quality here are unmatched. I’ve come here off and on for the last 3-4 years, and every time I’m impressed and surprised it’s just as good every time.

The food does take a long time to come out, but I believe it’s cause the food is cooked fresh. The fries are good, but not anything out of this world.

Overall 10/10, I’ll keep coming here as long as the quality stays this great!“

“We always enjoy Applebee's. We got there before the dinner rush and was seated right away. Our server was great. We ordered the chicken wanton tacos and pretzel sticks for appetizers. My husband had a burger & fries, I had salmon with mac & cheese. Everything was great, expert the mac & cheese. It had little to no cheese and no flavor. Next time I'll stick with the mashed potatoes.“

“We had an absolutely perfect experience at Franck's! From start to finish, everything was outstanding. Chef Rob's food was incredible — every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Our waitress, Wendy, was amazing: warm, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of. The rest of the staff was just as friendly and welcoming, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Truly one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious healthy food! I love their Mac and cheese, sweet potato hash and roasted chicken“

“Good food is hard to find these days. My daughter and I had the prime rib special and holt heck! That steak tasted better than Outback and Texas Roadhouse combined. Seriously good food. The mashed potatoes were a delight for my son and my husband loved the grilled pork chips. Very homey comfortable feel with excellent service. Would highly recommend.“

“Fantastic Food. Great Service Fun Drinks Love the brick walls.“

“Delicious fresh home made style Mexican food.“

“Great food and quality beyond the average fast food.“

“Love the way I am always greeted when I walk in. Prompt service, and will customize orders on request. One of my favorite breakfast places.“

“Ok this place is legit. We just got take out but we'll be going back and having brunch there for sure. My friend got the French toast meal. Straightforward regular French toast. No bells or whistles, just really good bread dipped on a really good custard base and pan fried. Scrambled eggs were perfect and the bacon looked amazing. The fact that she was almost euphoric while eating it says it all.
I got the corned beef hash. OMG. Best corned beef hash I've had in a long time. Chunks of homemade corned beef shredded among potatoes, Bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. And over easy eggs that even after a nearly 10 minute drive home still had runny yokes. The only way it could have been better would have been to eat there and indulge in some should beverages with our brunch. 10/10 will be making this a regular brunch location.
Like I said we did take out, but the atmosphere makes us want to go back and never leave.“

“The food is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. However, no one is wearing gloves or washing their hands after touching a range of services. I am sure they are up to code, but maybe don't grab the inside of a sauce container when you go to fill it with sauce, after touching the filthy payment screen? Will go again nonetheless.“

“Came here for coffee and a light breakfast. I got the toast of the day, beet hummus and ricotta and my friend got the sandwich of the day, ham and cheese. The toast was good but was pretty expensive at $9. The sandwich was a better deal at $12 and was quite tasty but it had really fibrous, inedible pieces of fennel in it which you had to pick out. I also got a couple pastries and a sourdough loaf to-go. The pain au chocolate was $9 but was ridiculously good, so flaky and buttery! Worth it as a special treat. The food was good but didn't seem worth the price, I think the move for table x bread is going for the freshly baked pastries and breads instead of ordering the toasts/sandwiches. Their bread is so good, crispy and crusty on the outside but soft on the inside, highly recommend the sourdough. The drip coffee was also worth it, very flavorful and reasonably priced. If you plan to eat here, be mindful that there are only 3 indoor seats (there are several small tables outside).“

“one of the best burger places ever.“

“Went to Midvale Mining Cafe again. We always get the ham and cheese omelets and the French toast did the same today. Food’s always good classic diner stuff.
Didn’t catch our server’s name this time because I think she’s new and she never really came back around much. Happens sometimes. Still we like the place and will keep coming back.“

“Fabulous private dinning experience! Superb customer service!!!“

“Kaylee is an exceptionally talented person!“
