JB's Family Restaurant

I ate here a few times while attending the RootsTech Conference. Nothing fancy, but the soup/salad buffet was very good. Meals were 'home style' and reasonably priced. One evening during the Conference there was quite the line up to be seated. There were tables available but had not been cleaned off. They should have realized they would be busy during this time and had more staff working. I would definitely eat here again!

My husband and I ate at the JBs near the Salt Palace. Our waitress was Mariela (not positive of spelling). She was really nice and attentive. We ate the breakfast buffet which was very good (and about 1/2 the price of the Marriott). We found an ample supply of crispy bacon and the scrambled eggs and pancakes were good too. I wish restaurants would offer real maple syrup though.

A bit short-staffed, so patience is helpful, but the food is good and not pretentious. The salad bar is a big attraction, although they are sometimes slow to replenish. Nevertheless, this is the go-to place if you are researching...read full review
