50 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.“

“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! 💋“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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. 👏👏👏“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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❣️“

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

“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.“

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

“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?“

“The food was top notch, definitely one of the better meals we've had in SLC in a long time. The restaurant itself was cute and cozy. The server was very nice. The only thing was that our drinks took forever. They were delicious when we finally got them, but it really took a long time. We each enjoyed a cocktail with our appetizers and ordered a glass of wine for the entrees but the entrees can out long before our wine. I was nearly finished with my entree by the time my time arrived.“

“Service was great. Sitting on patio was beautiful. Appetizers, dessert, drinks were very good. Loved Log Haven & will be back! Only issue was that bison steak had about 25% of grizzle on it. Premium prices should come with premium steaks. Only issue but overall loved it!“

“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“

“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.“

“The staff here is absolutely amazing!!!
Clean rooms and amazing room service...
Our room was big with alot of storage space and really comfortable bed and just amazing all the way around!!!
The food is absolutely delicious 😋 😍, I had the fish for 2 nights in a row and no complaints about it just that I wanted more then 2 lol...
My boyfriend tried their Chicken Pot Pie and also their Indian dish that isn't on the menu and he absolutely loved it!!!
Keval at the bar is absolutely amazing and very friendly, he told us what was good on the menu and it did not disappoint us at all!!!
This is our first time staying here and we will definitely be back to hang out with Keval and the amazing staff here!!!
Those other people have no idea what they are talking about giving this place a bad review 😒 they must not diversity 🙄!!!
This place is amazing and we will be back!!!“

“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“

“A great place for a wonderful meal.“

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

“The last time we went up to eat at Lucky 13, it was great. The burgers are the best and the service is top notch.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“We ordered takeout from Crown Burgers, and everything was packaged very well. The food arrived fresh, and the French fries were perfectly seasoned—not overly salty. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality and the experience. Highly recommended!“

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

“During our family vacation we stopped here for breakfast! We had Excellent service from start to finish. Our server Diana was incredibly nice, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. They made the experience enjoyable and memorable. Definitely one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while.“

“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!!“

“We hosted our wedding reception at Nona about a week & a half ago and from start to finish, perfection. Working with Hayden and his team to put the most wonderful day together for us was easy, breezy, beautiful. Hayden and the staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure that the day ran smoothly and was exactly what we wanted.
The staff at our party was happy & kind & beautiful. For food we opted for an appetizer heavy menu along with pizza from their sister restaurant Pizza Nono. We brought in our own wines and had a full bar available for beverages. 11 days later and I’m still getting comments about how delicious the food was. Our day was 95 degrees but with the amount of beautiful foliage coverage, I never batted an eye over the heat (until we started shaking our booty’s of course).
Whether you’re coming here just for a beautiful summer evening or wanting to make it the venue for your next event, you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Nona! We love you!“

“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 shrimp and grits are fantastic“

“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.“

“2.5 stars The beer selection is amazing. The food is wonderful…however!, it will take more time than you’d think for service and food. We’ve given this place 4 tries, and while sitting at the bar is amazing for drinks, the table service and food is super slow so just set those expectations appropriately. This is a consistent experience, every time, which is a bummer with the service and food because the food is great! But even if you’re sitting at the bar, food service is *extremely* slow (40 minutes for an order of wings). It’s so unfortunate because otherwise, this place is a gem.“

“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.“

“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. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“I highly recommend the Nuts“
