“Fantastic food, great service. Luckily I understand the business plan behind 'all you can eat', so I paced myself and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I was however a bit disappointed that I couldn't be there for Mr Shabu's altercation with I can only assume an overly entitled Yelper. Perhaps next time.”

“Went to this restaurant for our 9th wedding anniversary. It's price range varies from $45-$85 per entree but definitely lives up to the hype. I had the citrus butter cast iron Alaskan halibut and a side of grilled cauliflower with garlic herb sauce, and a Beehive jack rabbit Gin Commander cocktail. My husband got the Wagyu hanger 8 0z steak, mashed potatoes, and The Espolon Tequila Hefe cocktail. For dessert we got the churros drizzled with raspberry sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream to share. Our waiter Kaden was excellent and on top of things, Jose was our busser and was very prompt, professional, and kind, and the chef was excellent and got our food out in a reasonable amount of time. Best Halibut I have ever had and best steak he has ever had. Thank you for an incredible evening. -Ashley and Emmanuel #wagyusteak #alaskanhalibut #churros #gincocktail #tequilacocktail #espolontequila #beehivejackrabbitgin”

“Visited Capital Grille for a siblings dinner. The food and service were excellent. For an appetizer we had the crab macaroni which was lusciously cheesy and packed with crab. For our main we ordered the bone in New York, a few potatoes, the asparagus and the sprouts. For dessert, our party split the crème brûlée and coconut pie. All were cooked/baked perfectly and tasted great!
My chief complaints is they have a very small wine list and some other pricing is higher vs similar quality restaurants downtown.”

“Tonight my family went to Manoil’s. Wow. What a joy. I can’t recall what these dishes were called so beautifully on the menu—but I’ve tried my best in being simple in describing them. We ordered the risotto, orzo, lamb, octopus, olives, potatoes, and arugula salad. Every single thing was so freshly prepared, dressed, and cooked to invite delight. Thank you so much.”

Cafe • $
“If you're looking for a personable, flexible caterer with food that matches the high-quality service, Kafe Mamai should be your choice! Abudu is a top-notch caterer who goes above and beyond to ensure your event is a success. We built a personal relationship, which is rare among catering companies. The food is authentic and hand-crafted, including the spice mixes. I recently had grilled j*** chicken, rice & beans, and fried plantains at my event, and everyone raved about the plantains!”
Hamburger • $

“I really like this place for chicken Sandwich. They have varying degrees of spice, I chose medium. It was absolutely delicious I've been back twice since my first initial visit. I must say I like the Midvale / Murray location better than sugarhouse. Sugarhouse is such a pain to get to right now.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”
Breakfast • $
“Been coming here for years and not much has changed. Delicious double play with a side of French toast. Located across Liberty Park on 13th south this diner delivers no frill breakfast and brunch. It can be a bit chaotic inside but it didn’t seem to bother the multiple families and couples from getting their brunch on. Arrive early as there is often a wait but it is well worth it!”

“Grand opening specials and delicious food keep us coming back twice in a week now. It is located next to a local Target, so they have a great position to succeed with the flow of traffic and a large parking lot. I hope these specials remain the same or similar, the food economy needs places like this! Food should be affordable and tasty. You guys do both, excellent job.”

We also enjoyed the Frida salad for a lighter option. Don't forget to check out the homemade salsa bar! The staff's professionalism is top-notch, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere.
I highly recommend Mi Buena Vida. It truly deserves 5 stars!”

Coffee Shops • $
“This Starbucks is probably one of the busiest locations in the valley because it is located in the U of U Hospital and healthcare providers are always tired & overworked. The amount of volume and fast service this location still does is so impressive, I give props to these baristas! Literally they are keeping this hospital going and running.The drinks have always been made properly and have always been just as delicious even with how busy the baristas are. I enjoy Frappuccino's the most, especially the Mocha Cookie Crumble one, so that is my usual order. I think because of the amount of orders that come through in a day, they do not allow online orders to mess with the queue (is what I believe), which may be kind inconvenient for some, but this location is almost purely for healthcare providers, so those who NEED a coffee will come and wait in the long-looking, but actually short line.Most people that come by the Starbucks do no sit in the area, they normally take their drink and go. This is a high-volume, to-go based Starbucks, so the turn over in the area is quite a lot and so there will normally be seats available if you're looking to sit. It may look crowded, but it's just providers waiting for their drink to take back to their unit.”

“Historical building downtown with a lovely fireplace inside inviting you to have a beer or two. Found some free street parking along a road around the corner. Pretty busy for the evening of Halloween. Food menu was typical pub fare but plenty of options and the bison burger specifically was delicious. Had an oatmeal stout and a Munich dunkel, both of which were tasty. Really cool spot overall, would return if I lived locally.”

“We had yet another delicious meal and fantastic experience at Franklin Ave last night. The design and decor are absolutely stunning, and the staff from the door person to the host to the servers and managers were all so friendly and knowledgeable. We started off with the chips and whipped feta, hamachi crudo, snap peas, and ribs. All were delicious in their own rite. For the main course, I had the pasta special which included handmade pappardelle noodles, duck, oyster mushrooms, and a spicy red sauce. Yum! The miso cod, bolognese, and fish sandwich were also ordered and everyone in our group was over the moon with their selections. For dessert we shared the maple pecan respado - a must try dessert! Cocktails were amazing per usual.”

Steak House • $$$$
“The tomahawk steak was good. However, I asked for a medium, and it came out medium rare. I don't like sending my food back, so I stuck with it, ate what I could, and took the rest home to cook to what I originally ordered. I've yet to find a restaurant in Utah that can make a steak.”

Japanese • $$
“First time here and will absolutely be coming back! We went on a Thursday night and it was pretty packed. We ended up waiting around 35-40 minutes. They don’t have traditional handheld menus, they have QR codes at the table you’re seated at. The menu has lots of options to pick from and we loved everything we tried. We sat in front of the kitchen and were able to watch the kitchen staff hand make everything. The food tasted fresh so flavorful!”

Bakery • $
“This place is the emoji of chef’s kiss ?. I landed in SLC and had a few hours to burn before I get into my day. Pulled up yelp and saw this place close to downtown (it’s a little outside but part of downtown - by the library) and thought should be fine. I was wrong, it was way better than fine.
The shop shared a kitchen with lady flour so the signage is a little confusing but it had a very old school vibe. Anybody who had been into an old school cafe or donut shop will remember the tables. The music and ambiance created a chill environment. A+
I ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee and talked to the cashier if I could chill for a few hours. He said of course and gave me the WiFi password - service A+.
I take my first bite of my breakfast sandwich - heck yeah it was good. A+
I’m a fan of this place. If I lived in SLC, this would be my go to spot. Definitely plan on coming back when I leave California and find myself in SLC.”

Dinner Theater • $$$
“I'm scoring this higher than I think I should. I have been to many of these. These guys follow the same format as the ones I've attended in Las Vegas and San Diego. There were things missing as I compared them.
First. All the others do pictures with your significant other free of charge with fun back drop and props.
Second. Others decorate to help with the atmosphere.
Third. I prefer them bringing us drinks instead of having to frequent the bar.
Forth. They could probably use some mics instead of screaming. It was cringey at times.
Fifth. We are in Utah and I thought it was weird that all their prizes revolved around alcohol. Maybe consider your audience and be more inclusive.
Sixth. Because I had attended others my wife and I knew from the moment we walked in who the suspects were. Might want to disperse the cast members in a different way and time.
What i did like...
- I liked the online clues
- food was good but could have been more of it.
- acting was fun in my opinion. Others in my group had a hard time with it. Not sure what advice to give there.
I would probably go again if I knew improvements were made.”
Brewery • $$
“I can’t vouch for much in Salt Lake City because it’s been without power or under construction, but Bewilder Brewing is easily 5/5. The absolute best fries and giant soft pretzels I have ever had, and I live in a heavily German city (Cincinnati). Cherry Mother Pucker by Bewilder also a solid 5/5 sour; great/ clean flavor! So good that we came back twice while in the area!!”
Hot Pot • $$
“One of the best hotpots I have been to. It's a good price, it comes with some seafood (enough if you don't like too much), unlimited drinks, and meat for $28 that's the stantered choice. (More seafood is $58 ish) The appetizers are so so good, especially the steamed sweet buns. Staff is always very welcoming and nice, asking if you need anything. Food and quality I feel like are really good, it tastes fresh, and the spicy broth is my favorite.”

Middle Eastern • $$
“If you are a vegan, you're gonna LOVE it here. These folks offer vegan versions of the most delicious middle eastern dishes. Since they have already taken the trouble to veganize it all and even mention it on the menu, ordering it is breeze. And the best part of it all is, how genuinely hospitable they are! We went here 3 days in a row just so we could taste most of their vegan offerings.”

Bar • $$
“This place is 10/10! The food is incredible. The menu is simple but elevated. The prices are reasonable. The service is attentive and timely. Okkk now let’s get to the good stuff - what should you order?
If you order nothing but the ube pancakes, you could be happy for the rest of the day. These pancakes are fluffy and the passionfruit cream between them is to dieeee for. I’d personally come back just for the pancakes!!!
We also ordered the Vegan Bahn Mi, a side of bok choy and avocado toast with a side of potatoes. Everything was seriously incredible - flavour profiles were well balanced. While there was a slightly spicy sauce on the eggs, it was more tangy than spicy and paired perfectly with the eggs. The Vietnamese coffee was made perfectly - not too sweet and had a hint of bitterness from the coffee so you know it’s the goood stuff.
I don’t drink so while I can’t vouch for the alcoholic drinks, I did see a lot of people order them as well!
The ambiance and decor are also awesome.
Parking: there are lots of 2h parking spots for free around the corner and across the street as well. I went on a Sunday so it didn’t seem like the 2h rule was super enforced but take this advice on your own discretion! I am sure weekdays are more strict.

“Every time we come to SLC we have to stop here. I absolutely love the jalea and the seco de cordero. They are both full of flavor. The owner is very attentive and the service was great overall. P.d I’m from Peru and my husband from Colombia. We will be back!”

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I was trying to find a restaurant that would be willing to accommodate a group of eight with outdoor seating for lunch with a confirmed reservation. My party included an 80 year old, and someone in a wheelchair. Accessibility and a limited wait was important. I was thrilled to learn the manager at Cucina was willing to put a reserved sign on one of the outdoor tables for us. When I arrived a few days later the majority of the tables had umbrellas set up but ours did not so I went inside to ask if they would be willing to set one up for us. Within earshot I heard who I assume to be the manager tell the nice young man at the register that our group does not get any “special treatment” (since they don’t typically take reservations per se). So completely rude and so irresponsible to say where I could hear it. The woman taking the orders at the counter was impatient, unhelpful and not necessarily kind or pleasant. Her responses to my aunts’ questions were snarky. The young man working the register was really nice. The food was pretty good. I will never visit this restaurant again and certainly wouldn’t plan a big family birthday lunch here again. Disappointed to say the least.”

“It’s been a while since we came here, and today I was surprised to see a ‘3.00% credit card surcharge’ in our bill😠 I didn’t see it when they presented the bill and it only came out when I paid by scanning the QR code. So be careful when paying your bill. And I don’t know if it’s still worth to eat here.”

Our server Jackson was the BEST server I have ever had. He was great with recommendations on menu items and very personable. We were celebrating my friends birthday and Jackson made it very memorable. I am looking forward to coming back.”

“So good! Service was great, atmosphere was good. We went on a Friday and they had a live DJ, he played great music but his little too loud. Menu was great! We had the bone marrow tacos, bread basket, sea bass and the whiskey ribs. Everything was amazing! The ribs were just okay. Fish wash so good! We will definitely go back and try different things off the menu! It was a busy night Siri upfront door kept opening and closing, which made it a little chilly inside.”

“A modern & cozy sushi spot that has some of the best sushi in Utah! Everything we got was incredible. The hand rolls were amazing, but the Ora King salmon sashimi really did it for us! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, and the staff is knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions you may have. We had Corey & Junior, they were both amazing! We will definitely be back.”

“100% RECOMMEND! This is our favorite place to eat in PSL! The food is unique and fresh, the restaurant and bathrooms are clean, and the customer service is the best! Once you’ve been there a couple of times they remember you and pretty much know what your “usual” is. Dennis, the owner, has been there a few times when we were there and he always comes over to say “thank you for coming in.” He even covered our bill one time when he found out we are Veterans.

“This is going to be a long review. When you first walk in you are met with a delicious aroma of fresh bread, and pastries. The staff beats you with such sincerity that you feel like your family. I had called to put in a large catering order Tuesday afternoon right before closing; Wednesday was a holiday and I needed it by Thursday morning. They had everything boxed up ready to go…. Only for me to realize the coolers I bought were not big enough for a box. They offered to repackage everything into smaller boxes. The smaller boxes worked perfectly. While I waited I ordered the Turkey, avocado, bacon sandwich. I can honestly say that was the best turkey avocado, bacon sandwich I have ever eaten. As I write this, I am thinking of how delicious that sandwich was and trying to convince myself that a 50 mile drive for a sandwich is a bit much. The turkey was a thicker cut, juicy, flavorful, and it had that Thanksgiving roasted flavor to it. The bacon Cooked perfectly, not too crisp so you don’t chip a tooth , and not underdone where it is chewy. The avocado was fresh, and it was ripened to the perfect stage. The sandwich also contained some lettuce, and a dressing, which was delicious. All of this delectable goodness placed on fresh bread. The bread had a perfect crunchy outer crust While the inside was soft. The bread itself had an amazing flavor to it with all the seeds and nuts in it made a perfect sandwich. I will write a follow up after the party tonight. It will include photos.”

“OMG! This place is AMAZING! If you're a first time visitor, they'll ask for your name, and then even remember you the next time you come in. That, along with their truly delicious food, is just 1 of the many reasons I keep coming back. Each day they serve a different daily special. Their meatball sub and sloppy Joe's are my favorites so far. Their chicken cordon blue is FANTABULOUS as well. But, it's more than just the food that keeps me coming back. Mandy, the owner, is exactly how 1 would expect an owner to be. Her friendliness towards every customer is more than just amazing. She, along with Lisa and Candice, make me feel like I'm much more than just a customer. I could probably go on and on, but, you get my point. Please come in and see all of this for yourself?”

“If you're looking for a personable, flexible caterer with food that matches the high-quality service, Kafe Mamai should be your choice! Abudu is a top-notch caterer who goes above and beyond to ensure your event is a success. We built a personal relationship, which is rare among catering companies. The food is authentic and hand-crafted, including the spice mixes. I recently had grilled j*** chicken, rice & beans, and fried plantains at my event, and everyone raved about the plantains!”
Veterans Organizations • $
“VFW posts are well known for being very supportive of veterans and this post is no exception. They run an open bar, non-veterans are welcome, and you don’t need to be a BFW member to have a drink there. Drinks are very cheap, the bartenders are friendly and fast, you can run a tab with a credit card, and they have pretty good bands most weekends. This is not a fancy bar. I was there with some other vets and it was very friendly. I recommend it.”
