50 Best American Restaurants near Pleasant Grove

“best burgers in town! The quality is consistent and delicious.“

“Simple good food. Great ice cream shakes too. And tater tots!“

“I was really looking forward to the Mac n’ cheese because of the reviews I had read. I ordered the macaroni with pulled pork and bacon on top. The macaroni bowl was lukewarm. The cheese on top was not melted at all and the cheese sauce was very runny. My hubby asked for my bowl to be heated hoping the sauce would thicken up. Unfortunately it didn’t help. It also had little flavor. The wait staff was very kind. The atmosphere was good.“

“If you want some yummy breakfast sandwiches, this is the place for you! It’s a quick stop too which makes it nice if you’re in a rush! I ordered a breakfast bagel and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t my favorite breakfast bagel but pretty good!“

“Was there Friday night while visiting some family. karaoke night was a blast and the bartenders were amazing despite how busy it was. I might be moving back to alpine soon. if so, this will be my go to spot“

“I grew up on taco amigo! love their fries and fry sauce.“

“Stopped by for their grand opening in St George and it was BUSY! Even as busy as they were, the food came out fast and was delicious! I hope they continue to thrive because this place is well worth the stop!“

“one of the best burger places ever.“

“We love it here, rene was amazing today! We left a great tip, he and the manager delt with a very rude customer. He was swearing and my kids could hear him, about his expired free gift cards. We felt sorry for them.“

“Blue Lemon has the most fabulous Butternut Squash soup! Their flavor is very unique with glazed pecans on top. They have a selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options so there is always something for each person to choose from. Blue Lemon is definitely a restaurant you may want to check out!“

“The food and staff are amazing!“

“My compliments to the chef 2pm 9/13/24. I ordered take out and it was delicious in every way. Presentation was excellent (it was take out!) looked great ~ more importantly it tasted great ~ so fresh. I am most appreciative.“

“This is one of my absolute favorite Gourmet burger places of all time! A fantastic artisan restaurant tucked away in Provo, this is perhaps the best burger you can get not just in town but arguably within the whole State!

The Blue Cheese Burger is one of the sleeper burgers on the Lunch menu, and it’s secret to being so amazing comes from the Cabernet reduction that synchronizes expertly with the caramelized onions, crisp candied bacon, Blue Cheese, and fresh arugula. The whole flavor profile is intense and immensely satisfying! The Nanniskadii Bun (like flatbread) is dense and chewy, but not in an overpowering way. The whole experience is testament to the expert craft of the chefs, and is my absolute recommendation to anyone who goes here! A word of caution though—the Lunch Menu and Dinner Menu are different, so pay close attention to what is available when. The Blue Burger, for example, is a Lunch specialty only.

The sweet potato wedges and the house sauce are perhaps the reason so many people continue to return. Incredibly moist and tender fries are seasoned delicately with an addicting “adobe” profile that absolutely divinely pairs with the House sauce. The sauce is akin to “campfire sauce”, but is creamy, thick, and addicting delicious. Anyone who says they don’t double-dip will find themselves dipping 2-3x per fry just to keep the sauce moving into their mouth!

An incredibly wonderful experience every time I come, I always highly recommend this location to all who want a higher class meal in Provo.

Parking: There’s a few spots of street parking right out front, but it’s really difficult to get a spot. Most people have to find a place somewhere on University and walk to the entrance“

“Great food!! Cold beer! Good company! Just what I want!!“

“Breakfast for dinner isn’t easily got. Denny’s is always a great place to have breakfast anytime of day (or night).“

“My favorite place to eat. The food is great!! The service is very friendly and the music makes me want to dance. Love this place.“

“Overall pretty good. The meatloaf has a sweet/spicy bbq glaze that isn't my style. The Irish Nachos were great. Very solid beef dip. Pork chop was the thickest I've ever seen. Needed more sauce though. Pizza got a bit burnt on the bottom, but still pretty good. Nice flavor, decent amount of toppings. GREAT sweet potato fries.“

“Love this place!! Great food and great service. Thank you!“

“That was far and away the best fish and chips I’ve ever had at a drive through. Halibut made to order, hot out of the fryer, perfectly cooked, and the tartar sauce was amazing. The Apollo sauce for the fries was ?. And the fresh house salad that came with it…best $15 dinner you can get!!“

“We ate the most creative and divine food last night at Communal. The portions are big and they are for sharing. The new summer salad with fresh peaches and corn was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The blend of flavors was absolutely amazing. Had I known how delicious it was beforehand I would have just ordered that for dinner. My husband and I shared the Greek chicken, crispy fingerling potatoes and roasted carrots with pistachios. Wonderful homemade rolls were served while we awaited our dinner. Everything is freshly cooked so plan to enjoy a wonderful, scrumptious and leisurely dinner. Wish we had time to go back and try some other dishes. Everything was presented beautifully and the service was excellent. A divine dining experience!“

“The owners were so personable. service was friendly and fast. the food was excellent. I am coming back!“

“Our very first experience at Chubby’s and wow!! Delish hamburgers - love the potato bun . French fries have an amazing outer crunch encasing the hand cut fry. And to top it all off, we made a new friend- Ben! We will be back cuz everything was outstanding!“

“Wow, I'm upset we drove past this and picked other food spots! To be honest I didn't love the mushroom burger but the quality of the ingredients has me very excited to come back and try the others!

Chicken tenders and Mac and cheese devoured by the kids.

Service was too notch, the wife and I split a burger and they offered to cut it for us and extra plate.

Can't wait to be hungry again so I can come back!“

“First time ever eating at Bobby’s and they got everything right except I asked for my Burger well and I believe it came out medium. Despite not being cooked to my usual liking, it was absolutely fantastic and by the time I was finished I wasn’t mad at all about it being cooked medium. Staff was awesome, fries were awesome, and the Bobby sauce was excellent. Was very very happy with this meal and would recommend it to anyone. Will definitely return.“

“Great food. Very nice people“

“Gnocchi and short ribs awesome great sauce. Dessert was a Carmel popcorn topping Panna Cotta.“

“A great place if you want really good food and a casual atmosphere. Be prepared to spend $40-$70 for a date. Get drinks and an appetizer maybe a dessert it makes the meal complete. Get some unique sodas that they carry. I highly recommend the Jack Kerouac Burger. Probably one of the top 3 gourmet burgers I’ve had. Though the fries and burger needs to come with at least 2-3 sauce containers.

Parking: The street parking is hard Especially on the Weekends. Eventually you’ll find a spot.“

“I had to take back the comments I made before about customer service. After all my attempts to contact those in charge, I learned that they had reserved seats for me! Please try Restaurant Forte, you will be amazed at the beautiful, wonderful food.“

“Awesome place and service! I tried the “Completo” and it was very yummy! Prices are great! Very casual but classy! Service was great too! I would take my clients any day! 5 stars to all the crew! Thank you!!!“

“The Italian wedding soup was absolutely scrumptious! I wish I had bought several quarts worth to take home. Try this soup - it might be my favourite soup ever. I always love Italian wedding soup but Pendulum Court Cafe does a superb job with it! I love almost all of the their soups but this has to be the best.“

“5-Star bakery, but surely there’s a better way to package the sweet rolls? Half the frosting gets on the bag and then your hands become an absolute disaster getting one out. Can you charge $1 more for a proper box like every other place that sells sweet rolls? I’m trying to give constructive criticism since I love Shirley’s but every time I get them my entire family and friends all complain about the mess of the packaging.“

“The chicken pesto pannini is a must. Great taste and the staff were very friendly. I will be back. Keep up the great service!!“

“My only complaint is that I didn't know about this place sooner! $10.50 is definitely worth the lunch buffet which has lots of great options like steak, shrimp, and Cordon Bleu . When I went around 1 PM, they had the breakfast still available as well!“

“This place is always the best! Get the hamburdog! Everything is house made here. The buns are fresh!“

“I like coming here to have a quiet bar experience. There is no where else we can go besides ABG's to just get a drink. And we would pick this everytime over that dump. The service wasnt at all great. He helped other people first that got there after us. And couldnt get his attention to get water. The charcuterie board was plain and was missing some essentials ingredients, but overall we enjoyed it.We will definitely go again to see if the service improves.“

“Always amazing and always worth the waiting in line for their delicious food!“

“This is all about the chocolate cake lol. I stop by every few weeks/months and pick up a chocolate cake for my family and they love it! If you’ve never tried it, just stop by and buy a full cake or slice and you won’t regret it, you’ll likely come back that same week and buy it again.

Why would I choose to come and leave this review just for cake? Well for years now they’ve also been producing a few slices daily of a “gluten free” option. I can’t eat gluten/wheat and it’s rare to find desserts that taste excellent without flour, this is one of the rare ones that taste excellent with flour or without! I think Magleby’s is very smart to keep providing this option, because I’m the guy buying a full cake often for my family. If there was no way for me to enjoy it, we’d never buy cake here (not because I’m selfish, although maybe that’s a little true lol, but more so because we gravitate towards food we can all enjoy and eat together). So thank you Magleby’s for thinking of those of us with this unfortunate gluten allergy, and my family thanks you too, because now we all get to enjoy this! Very appreciated.“

“I love cubby's so much! Food is great and fresh and staff was accommodating! I'm ok waiting a bit for fresh food so wait time never have bothered me here. If I need something fast I'll go to somewhere super fast. But to get amazing good food is always worth the wait.“

“I love to recognize great service. I just want to give a shout out to the staff at Golden Corral in Orem off of Univ. Pkwy. Incredible service!! Our waitress was darling and so attentive and helpful. Definitely made me feel so special. She rallied together her team and they asked if they could sing "Happy Birthday" to me. They gave me high-5's and I got a hug from our waitress. The food was fresh, my steak was great, there was a wonderful assortment, the restaurant was very clean, and we had excellent service. Thank you Golden Corral!“

“The person at the front taking our order(Arduro I’m pretty sure)was so nice! He definitely deserves 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The food is also so good and mouthwatering!!! I totally recommend the rosemary fries!!!🤤

Vegetarian options: I think if you ask they could make it vegetarian. They would probably take the stuff off.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten and dairy

Parking: Orem utah

Kid-friendliness: So nice to my kid and so helpful“

“Awesome upscale food with a very short wait. Excellent service and 2 weeks later, we’re still talking about how good that meal was.we had the gnocchi, the pork tenderloin, and a cheese burger.

Parking: Located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking.“

“Best burgers in the world. I think I could live on them for the rest of my life. I ordered something a bit complicated this afternoon and they nailed it. The service is always so friendly, and even though the line was long, it went fast, and the food was nice and hot! So glad they expanded to include some Utah locations!“

“Burgers and desert worth the stop“

“Great food, quick service, and love the vibe“

“We loved our visit At Dennys in Saratoga Springs, The service was really good and our waitress Elizabeth did an excellent job!“

“Showed up about an hour before closing, and this place was still hopping. Was my first time trying Chom Burger and I'll be back for sure. The burgers are thick & juicy with a variety of high quality toppings. The buns they serve these on are excellent, too. They were toasted but still soft, and was the perfect touch to an excellent all around burger.“

“2nd time here, literally one of the best restaurants. Have been all over the country and a few international trips in the past 13 months and La Jolla Gove in Provo is literally do not miss. Bruschetta, tomato basil soup, seasonal salad are to die for. Entrees are consistent and the atmosphere is adorable. Wish it wasn’t a 4 hour drive Moriah was our server tonight and was on-point. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The best burger in Provo! And I love the service!!“

“Fresh and Clean! It was delicious!! We would most definately recommend it!!!“

“Food is consistently awesome, I always stop here at least once when I'm visiting family. Service is always prompt, and orders are always made accurately, I've never had an issue with messed up orders here. All of their wing sauces are amazing, you can't go wrong, we always do the lunch special which is an awesome deal, and some of our favorite flavors are the teriyaki, XX garlic, and Parmesan. Love this place and always recommend it.“
