I have tried both the Mediterranean and the burger options. The beef Shawarma sandwich was made to order with fresh veggies and a side of excellent fries with an aoli fry sauce. The sandwich was good but not the traditional Shawarma that I'm accustomed to. The chef was friendly and took great pride in his work. The Smokehouse burger (without jalapeños) was fantastic! Quality bacon, crispy onions, tasty sauce and fresh beef added up to a wonderful burger at a great price. I splurged and got hand battered onion rings too. The vibe and atmosphere of the dining hall was relaxed and comfortable. I intend to come back for trivia night, happy hour and brunch.
Wheelchair accessibility: I use a wheelchair and there is a ramp but there's no buttons for an automatic door.

A cheery cafeteria-style dining hall serving the greatest hits of 5+ different cuisines. Ample, comfy seating in a bright new wave atmosphere.
Adrian who prepared and served us sandwiches from 'The Salt' deli was the most welcoming and thoughtful person to plate food for us in remotely recent memory. His corned beef reuben won't disappoint. The roast turkey won't gobble as fast as you.
All the dining options look great and the people there have the spirit of ones who love what they do.
Don't let the limited parking stop you! A sparkly clean dine means these folks need more lunchtime business. Stop searching. Just eat here and love it.

Grabbed dinner before the symphony. Friday at five. I was surprised at how empty it was. Several of the eateries looked open but not a soul behind their counters.
That said choices are good. We wound up at Pop’s for burgers. We both got the Smokehouse Burger. This is a top-notch burger. Crispy onions, candied jalapeños carrying a subtle punch, and bacon atop the burger. A word on the bacon - that pig had clearly seen something’s in its life. It had packed it on, flavor-wise and the marbling of its fat spoke volumes. Fries were great too. We sat next to the kitchen so it was cool to see our meal come together.
Overall a nice dinner. The overall vibe was off, if I’m honest, but I’d come back anytime for Pop’s.
Parking: It’s downtown. Parking is tricky.

Josh at habibi was LOVELY— what a kind, attentive dude. He made sure we understood what we were getting and worked with some food restrictions we had with care!

The cocktails is good. The gyro pita bread is store bought. The meat tasted rubbery.
The ambience is good but the food is very disappointing.

delicious food and great friendly customer service.
This review is long overdue, but the Local Eatery is a solid win. It’s perfect for a quick bite or a longer hangout with friends and family. Among the "food hall" style places in Salt Lake, this is my top recommendation. Bring your friends, play some provided board games, drink, and be merry. Everyone I've met there has been friendly, and the menus offer just enough variety without overwhelming your boomer parents.

Of the food halls in SLC, this was my least favorite and probably the most overpriced. Nothing was terrible, but their competition (HallPass, Woodbine, etc) is doing a better job all around. I wanted to love this place, but they dropped the ball for us. We had tacos, poke, and Mediterranean.
