“Wonderful dining experience! Food was absolutely delicious and our waiter Adam was fantastic! Highly recommend!!“

“Thanks Sammy. She’s an awesome bartender.“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“Visited when in town for a wedding and Franklin Ave became our go-to stop. Their food is delicious. On our last night they were busy and we could only be seated downstairs. We sat at the bar and had appetizers while we watched three incredible bartenders show their talents with all of the mixers, tinctures,etc. Very highly recommend!“

“Oquirrh is one of the top restaurants in The Valley. Order the sourdough bread if you want to sample Chef Drew's excellence for seven bucks. Then beg to buy a loaf...“

“Great service, food, and experience. Had group of 16 that included whole-food vegan, celiac, and carnivore. Table X took care of everyone and made it delicious and unique for each individual.

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Love this beautiful place“

“With winter on the way, you have to have a bowl of "Some Soup." I can't tell you what is in it because Chef Milo's drive to create results in new recipes every week (I think?), but what never changes is the always exceptional blends of flavors.“

“The Utah Burger is the Best Burger I’ve ever had!!! (Cheeseburger, BLT, Pastrami, Gyro Meat)“

“Have come twice now when we visit our daughter and fiancé who live here. Fantastic time. Food, service, atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend!“

“Incredible food, fun open kitchen, enchanting and romantic communal-style dining with excellent staff!“

“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?“

“Delicious, quick and fit our budget❣️“

“Service was amazing. Greeted right away. First time staying here but will continue to use the hotel when having to stay before a flight.

Parking: Na

Kid-friendliness: Na

Wheelchair accessibility: Na“

“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.“

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

“the meat loaf dinner was yummy“

“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.“

“Stayed on the 16th floor this last week, all new carpet. Such a nice hotel, one of our favorite places to stay. 6/7/2024“

“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).“

“The food is very flavorful and tasty. I got a chicken entree with the sesame noodles (6/10) and broccoli (9/10) sides. The noodles have too much mint in them. I didn’t realize at first and got an entire mouthful of mint leaves. Please chop or just have less overall. Portion sizes are quite small for the price. I feel like a slice or two more of chicken and it would’ve been there for me.
Lots of other things on their menu look good and I was glad to see lots of people there too around dinner time. I think they just need a couple tweaks and it would be an easy 5/5.“

“Great service, and a laid back environment that can fit a night out or a watch party. Daily food specials are pretty good and the menu has lots of options. The fried pickles, however, are the worst pickle fries I've had. Way too thin and salty, and the breading just fell off. Try something else on the menu instead.“

“Such a cute spot in downtown Salt Lake! Always busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The food was decent, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere is charming. Great place for a casual breakfast or brunch. Closes by 2 every day, so go for an early brunch. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros ($13) with Turkey Bacon (+$5) and avocado (+$3). The turkey bacon was not worth it, otherwise, a good start to the day. They serve bottomless coffee ($4), and even send you on your way with a to-go cup if you want one; adding a nice touch to the experience.“

“If you are looking for a breakfast spot that is a step above the rest this is the place. We had the corn beef hash and biscuits and gravy and both were phenomenal. Simply delicious, good ingredients and great flavor. We would happily eat here again!“

“From scratch has amazing food. Mom and I went there for lunch and it was extremely yummy!“

“Oh my...where do I begin? The food is so so delicious. Just finished a dinner of Salmon with roasted veggies topped with coconut curry. You know when you are already full but you want to keep eating because it just tastes sooo good? That it. We tried the Seitan Pot Pie last week and it was equally savory. Thank you Brooke for giving me a few nights off from cooking with your wonderful prepared entrees.❤“

“Always great to go out for good food and excellent service. Really enjoy the server Erandy and her cheerful personality. She makes it a great experience and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“We ate on the outdoor terrace. Although being warm August temperatures, there was a beautiful cool breeze. The small waterfalls added a nice background to the light music being played. The food was outstanding. Wide selection and nice flavor combinations. We will be back.“

“Atmosphere made the fast goodness more fun. Pineapple/blackberry shake was excellent. Dining companion loved his Crown burger with pastrami and sautéed mushrooms. I was impressed with the pastrami; very flavorful with just the right amount of fat. My chicken gyro was eh but it would not deter me from trying a few other non-red meat options. Next time we’re trying a chocolate strawberry shake.“

“We enjoyed a delicious dinner, the wait staff were top notch, our glasses were always full!
The Atmosphere is awesome!
We had our 4 year grandchild with us, and no one seemed bothered by her goofy actions.
I enjoyed the salmon, others at the table had pizza, French fries and a club sandwich. Food was delicious.“

“Overall, it's a great place to eat. I appreciate the good prices. The only reason it's not 5 stars like almost everything else in this Hospital, is because of the service. They have ludicrous hours (closing the grill at 6:45, the peak of dinner time???). My wife and I have also noticed multiple times where the grill workers will move at a snails pace from 6:15 until they close it at 6:45. I don't know if that's intentional, but it's frustrating to be in line for 25 minutes and then they just close the grill station. At no other time of day, no matter how busy, does it take 25 minutes at the grill.“

“Perfect dinner for the last night of a trip! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal and the ladies were friendly and sweet! Close to the SLC airport!“

“This was by far one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had! The chef came up and talked to us a few times to check in which was great. It wasn’t in an intrusive way by any means it was nice. They gave us complimentary bread that was to die for to start. The menu had so many options that looked amazing that it was hard to choose. I got their garlic and herb chicken and it was the best chicken that I’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with boursin cheese and multiple other condiments that made it delicious. The server was great and the chef came to check on us before we left. The service was amazing, the food was amazing, the whole experience was amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone and I probably will do just that! If you’re considering this place DO IT!! This place was life changing. Big thanks to the chef and crew. Also we thought portions might be small seeing the pictures but they aren’t! It’s definitely enough food don’t let that stop you!“

“The food was delicious, friendly host and waiters!“

“This place is amazing. Everything is always delicious and the manager always goes out of his way to make great, homemade food that will blow you away! They also have innovative new foods like poke or cool new pastas. Love to eat here. When I leave the company this will be the place I miss the most!“

“delicious!! nice big portions. I had breakfast left overs for 2 days.“

“AMAZING pancakes and omelettes!! We ate here twice while in the city. It’s a Must visit from now on when we come. Incredible. Seriously“

“On 6th floor of Huntsman is a delightful Bistro. Their special linguini Spagetti with yummy meatballs was under $10.

Parking: We have a disabled placard which made parking in visitor parking easy. We went on a Monday and there was both self & valet parking at the Huntsman. A flute & a string instrument played by 2 volunteers set ambience of the day! The whole experience was impressive.“

“We came here for brunch for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was also our first time coming here. The food was absolutely delicious AND we got a free dessert for her birthday. Not only was it free, it was a delicious, house-made crème brûlée! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Super rad place ! What a very awesome concept.“

“Delicious food, friendly service and great vibes all around! Thanks for a great lunch!“

“Excellent! Best fries ever, great sandwiches!!! Great service as well“

“This place is conveniently located near many of the hotels by the SLC Airport. Service was great, friendly and very accommodating. The patty melt sandwiches were bigger than what I'm used to. Needless to say they give large portions! The food was very delicious!“

“Lots of friends! Great Friends!“

“Glad they are open for dine in. Good food. Enjoyed the melon gazpacho. Sad to see so many customers not wearing face coverings while waiting to be seated.“
