Everything we had was amazing! The brisket, garlic steak, Korean BBQ strips, Poblano potato salad, mac and cheese, BBQ black beans! Plus, the owners are kind and wonderful. Updated from previous review on 2025-04-11

A great experience. I've never eaten vegan so well. I'm actually not vegan. But this was a great experience.

Absolutely love everything that they make here. The owners are also the nicest people you've ever met!
We ordered a thanksgiving roast and it was so good! The rolls were delicious too! We will be back to try other things.

It's about time I rated this spot! I talk about it all the time with out of town or non-vegan/vegetarian friends.
Blatch's is an amazing spot if you're looking for a meal that will really nourish your stomach and soul. The owner is so passionate about what he does, and he and his wife are both so welcoming. Everything I've had there has been wonderful and even my omnivore friends have been super impressed by it. Highly recommend 100/10

Took about an hour to get here, and the food was well worth the drive. The seitan brisket is amazing! It's run out of a converted home, and there isn't seating (at least not that I saw), so we went over to City Creek to find a place to sit and eat the food hot.

I'm not vegan, but I love Blatch's. The food is fun, but my favorite part is seeing that Chris is doing something that he is so passionate about. He has a natural way of having meaningful conversation with everyone who passes through his store, and it's obvious he has a lot of pride for what he's doing. And he should! Great job!

At the time of writing this, this is review #184. Of my past reviews, I have reviewed several BBQ places from Albuquerque, NM to Claxton, GA. I have only given one of them 5 stars. ONE! That 5 star rating was given to Midwood Smokehouse in Columbia, SC nearly a decade ago! And yet, Blatch's tops it in quality!
It's hard for me to compare Blatch's to other BBQ I have had in the past because it is its own unique BEAST with lots of SLC character. Shoutout to them for having a menu item called the Angry Korean and having a sticker that says "The Church of Veganism of Platter Day Sauce."
I ordered the jackfruit pretzel monster with green chile mac and vheese (let's call it what it is).
The menu doesn't lie! The pretzel monster was one sloppy MONSTER of a sandwich possessing a very tart flavor balanced out somewhat and complemented by the jackfruit's sweetness. The crispy onions added a little bit of much needed crisp, and the garlic aioli was icing on the cake.
The mac and vheese was a creamy, flavorful side that gave me a second wind. Having lived in NM, I was expecting green chiles to be chopped up and placed inside the mac n vheese itself. But no, Blatch's somehow incorporated its flavor into the vheese, giving it a nice kick.
As I was leaving, Chef Blatch (Who is very passionate about his craft and means business) gave me some FREE ROLLS! I toasted some up for breakfast the next morning, and they were fantastic! They were a little sweet, yet spiced, pillowy, and textured perfectly.
WELL DONE BLATCH! The food is unique, and straight ️🔥 in quality! This is now one of my top picks in SLC. I will be back for more!
