46 Best American Restaurants in Salt Lake City

“There truly is nothing better than Skillets. Absolutely nothing! There’s something for everyone and I’ve never eaten anything I didn’t like!“

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

“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.“

“I work across the street from Dom's and go there at least once a week. Best burger in utah!! A little pricey for burgers but it's worth it. Flavor is off the charts. The patties are actual smashburgers, browned and crispy on the outside. Homemade pickles and burger sauce ROCK“

“The food!! The Service!!! The ambience!!!“

“Phenomenal chefs table experience. Morgan was exceptional. Would definitely come back!“

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

“RHIANNON IS THE BEST SERVER ASK FOR HER. The best experience and the best food thank you!!!!“

“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 got served by Glenda E and she was rather rude and not very friendly, not as nice as the other older ladies who serve there. Half way through dinner dhe starts vacuuming near our table like that rather gross when were trying to eat. I got the chicken fried steak I was most of the way through and I bit into a piece of plastic bread tie! Glenda mumbled a half hearted apology and took it off the bill but no management came to speak to me and apologize. Not impressed with the service or meal.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Excellent food and excellent service. Absolutely recommend.“

“Let me start with the hospitality was absolutely fabulous. We were greeted with smiles by all the staffers there. Place was busy but I was told it gets busier. There’s plenty of dishes to choose from the menu. There’s something for everyone. The fact that the condiments were filled and I didn’t have to ask for extra anything was truly a BIG plus. As first timers we did have a hard time deciding on what to order. One things for sure we will be returning. Everything we ordered was fresh and so delicious. Despite that the place was busy we got our food pretty quickly. Highly recommended this establishment. 10/10 must eat here and if undecided get you some Sidro’s chilaquiles. Chefs kiss! 💋“

“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?“

“My husband and I had dinner there a few nights ago and the food was fabulous. My pork osso buco was so tender and my husband’s chicken provoleta was equally delicious. We also had the spinach and artichoke dip with artisan flat bread and the multi layer chocolate cake and loved both. My education is in design so I pay close attention to my surroundings. The restaurant is beautifully designed and not overdone and from what I saw every table in the restaurant has a view of the city. The flatware was the perfect weight and designed by the well known British designer Robert Welch and lastly the beautiful linens are manufactured in Italy for a beautiful soft finishing touch. All and all it was a wonderful dinner and the staff was perfect, especially our server Sam she was very professional. When we were leaving we saw one of the chefs and told him how much we loved our dinner. He informed us that they have only been open for a week and a half. We were really surprised. I’ve been to other restaurants that have been open for months and can’t get the food and staff in sync no matter how hard they try. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back and will be bringing friends.“

“Delicious, quick and fit our budget❣️“

“This restaurant is a gem!! It is nestled in the Avenues of SLC. The restaurant’s atmosphere is so charming- it’s in an old home that was converted to the restaurant. There are lovely windows in the front that you can look out onto the Avenue. There is outdoor seating when the weather is warm. The service is fantastic! Cascade was our server. She is exceptional!! They are able to accommodate food allergies easily. The food is amazing!! It is so flavorful and cooked to perfection! The presentation is beautiful! We had the Pickled Beet Salad, Fish and Chips and Mountain Hamburger. Again, everything was cooked and presented with perfection!! I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant.“

“My husband and I first visited Roux last year and it has become our place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and any other special occasion. The rotating menu always has unique flavors that are incredible! We still have yet to try something we didn’t like. The funeral potato pave is consistently one of our favorites. I forgot to take a picture of the steak and chicken we had last night but our finished plates should tell you everything!“

“I was SO exhausted after an intensely impactful work day and decided to come to Tuscan Bistro for dinner. The homestyle lasagna was delicious 😋!! so much so that I ordered another to go. And Keval was so accommodating and welcoming! I think I may have found someplace to dine and unwind when I'm here on future work trips. Service at it's absolute best. Thank you ❤️“

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

“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“

“delicioso todo , servicio rapido , muy buen lugar para comer y compartir , a mi me encantó 💕 👌“

“Wow! First- the entire staff here were top notch- not one person standing around even though I came in at a relatively slow moment. Every single person stayed busy, but Cynthia was a standout. She was really pleasant and very attentive. She was doing it all- making shakes, running the drive through, taking orders at the front, restocking, sweeping, wiping tables, and literally had a smile on her face the whole time. Take care of Cynthia, guys!! Ive been to a lot of Apollo burgers around the SL and Utah Valleys (bc I love the Greek salad so much), but this was my favorite location. Extra care in the food prepared. 👏👏👏“

“Came here for the first time at the recommendation of our hotel concierge. The totchoes are amazing. Next time I actually plan to order it as my entree.
The calzone is massive. Like literally an entire Pizza folded in half.
The staff was super friendly. There was no pressure from the staff to leave.
Plenty of available parking but also within walking distance of a lot.

My only complaint is the bathrooms were not very clean, but the rest of the restaurant was.

Strongly recommend trying this out!“

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

“This place is excellent. I'm not local. I'm from Idaho and we have eaten here a few times after driving down for concerts. The food is always super good, Service is attentive and very helpful. The green chillies Verde sauce is top tier. The mix and match French toast and pancakes is my favorite“

“Had the pleasant fortune of stopping in during happy hour and being served by Sergio. Absolutely top notch service and recommendations!

Sergio went above and beyond to make sure we had an A++ experience and we will definitely be back next time we are in town just because of him.

Food was great, drinks were perfectly balanced, and the service was phenomenal.“

“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.❤“

“Had a phenomenal Burger was the size of a small pothole on I-5 along with fries and soda for less then $20. Had a guitar player there, live music was very good performance. Most impressive. If you are ever in the area it's worth dropping in!!“

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

“We visited SLC from the UK in June and discovered Nona Bistro on TikTok! It was such a gem—the food was delicious, the atmosphere calm and relaxed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. It made for a memorable experience.
Here’s what we ate:

• Focaccia Bread: Perfectly done—chef’s kiss, 10/10.
• Charcuterie Board: A nice variety, though a dip would’ve added extra flavour and texture to the spread.
• Cast Iron Lasagne: Absolutely delicious!
• Chicken Piccata: Nice, but drenched in capers, slightly too crispy and a bit spicier than expected. I wasn’t aware it would have a kick, and unfortunately, spice can trigger my endometriosis symptoms, so I couldn’t finish it.
• Dessert: Olive oil pound cake with bourbon whipped cream and berry compote. Honestly, I still dream about it—20/10, could’ve easily had two!

Overall, a lovely experience and highly recommended!“

“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).“

“We ordered 10 meals for an early lunch (11 am). I ordered online with a pick-up time of 11. They don't open until 11 am but I was greeted kindly and they were already preparing my meals. They had them to me by 11:10 with a smile and a great attitude. The meals were all amazing. Only a few of the people there had tried the restaurant and every one of them said they would get their meal again. I have found a new favorite restaurant. The food was fresh, healthy and well prepared with good portions of fish/steak/chicken. Thank you Flower Child! I look forward to visiting you again in the future.“

“Now I believe what people say about you is true. You are indeed a man of your words, you have changed many lives positively including mine thanks for your good works and kindness ⤵️⤵️ #professordivinesolutionrealm“

“We had a late evening meal and the place looked empty but we were VERY pleased. The trout was perfectly battered and seasoned, and the street corn ravioli was sweet with a spicy finish. Table service was excellent- such a friendly and attentive wait staff. Our drinks were delicious with lovely presentation. Wheelchair accessible, plenty of tables with wide aisles, no steps at entrance.“

“Vegetarian options: The fruits thevegetables were absolutely exceptional.

Dietary restrictions: We used them as a catering service with Mr. Dennis He did the most excellent job at My stepfather's.celebration of life Gathering Doing a wonderful presentation of his culinary skill.“

“We had a delightful meal here! The staff was friendly and accommodating. Everything my table had was very well liked. I recommend the Chipotle Citrus “Steyk Sticks”. The dipping sauce was to die for. We actually used it to dip our fries in as well. The Ike and Tina burger was also a hit. Once you finish your meal at the Steyk Center, you can head to the other side of the building for live music and more fun. The owner of the place also shared a rumor that boozy milkshakes may make their way to the menu sometime. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We had not been to Log Haven in years. We are finding a restaurant each month to dine out. A GREAT choice. The food was excellent and well prepared along with the presentation. For as busy it was, we were surprised that the noise level was fine. Our server, Savanna, was excellent! My wife asked her about several items on the menu and she explained with an unbelievable description. Thank you for an enjoyable evening of dining.“

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