14 Best American Restaurants in Provo

“The food and staff are amazing!“

“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“

“Darrell was our server. He excels in his position. Polite, incredibly personable & well mannered. He was on it w/our food & drinks. Red Robin is my son’s very FAV restaurant. He was bummed ☹️ when the birthday cake treat went away & now only ice cream is served. Darrell HOOKED him up w/one of the mud slide cakes. The surprise on his face made this momma incredibly please. My son was elated. Thank you 🙏🏼 for an exceptional dining experience.“

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

“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!“

“Steak and blue salad is yummy. Biscuits and warm buttermilk pie are the best!!😋😋“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“
