“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 came in had a 30 minute wait. Got on the list and waited longer and they said we already called you and didn’t even offer us the next seats. They just looked at us like see you .later. Horrible service. I will never go there again.
**Update** A manager contacted me to discuss my review. I gave her all of the details and she apologized and invited us back with a gift card. I told her I didn’t want anything, I just wanted to be heard and to let those workers know how their customer service needs to be improved. She offered us the gift card to “make things right”. I appreciate her sincerity and will try again in the near future.“

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

“We had an absolutely perfect experience at Franck's! From start to finish, everything was outstanding. Chef Rob's food was incredible — every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Our waitress, Wendy, was amazing: warm, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of. The rest of the staff was just as friendly and welcoming, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Truly one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Highly recommend!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Best Carmel sauce in the world. Please, please, pretty please start accepting door dash an/or Uber eats.“

“I have been to Root'd Cafe many times now, consistently delicious! Go try it“

“Oquirrh is one of the top restaurants in The Valley. Order the sourdough bread if you want to sample Chef Drew's excellence for seven bucks. Then beg to buy a loaf...“

“Really good food and great service.“

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“

“I recently got pushed out of my favorite restaurant due to bad service (they'll drop the check when I'm halfway done with my food) and restaurant management ( arguing with me about having to charge me for food I didn't even order). Tonight really was a breath of fresh air. The hostess sat me the moment I walked in the door and had nice welcoming chat as we walked. The server was very accommodating to my household dietary needs and the manager on duty was very eager to hear about my recommendation for taking care of the plants in the foyer (I garden as a hobby and love plants). The hostess also asked if she could take my plates off the end of the table, on her way back from seating another table. Tonight was the experience that I seek in a restaurant.

And the buffalo cauliflower was absolutely amazing. I'm a bit disappointed that there's no longer a sweet chili sauce.“

“Amazing food, amazing server. I only wish I could remember his name to give him a personal comment“

“Love this beautiful place“

“My family comes here everytime after we go dirt biking and we love it! The food is delicious, and always very quickly served. The new pumpking spice shake was also a wonderful blend, and wasnt overpowering. The workers kind, very personable and efficient. Clean facility.

Parking: Parking just behind there facility. Sufficient size to turn around our truck and trailer.“

“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.“

“We had a great lunch and their manager, Chance, was a delight!“

“I'm not one to get into the whole Apollo burger vs Crown burger thing, however, this location clobbers any other Apollo or Crown burger spot you'll find in Utah.

After a late back to school night we took the fam through the drive through, our intention was to just take it back home and grub, however, after seeing how fresh the fries and burgers were, we parked the car and had to eat it on the spot.“

“We always enjoy Applebee's. We got there before the dinner rush and was seated right away. Our server was great. We ordered the chicken wanton tacos and pretzel sticks for appetizers. My husband had a burger & fries, I had salmon with mac & cheese. Everything was great, expert the mac & cheese. It had little to no cheese and no flavor. Next time I'll stick with the mashed potatoes.“

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

“The experience at Tucson Bistro was incredible, thanks to Mr. Keval! They are an amazing mixologist who created the best drinks anyone has ever had. Even on a busy night, customers feel like they are the only ones there, with the bartender checking in at the right moments. We love coming Radison again 🤩“

“My husband and I stopped here while visiting family in the area. I saw online that they had gluten free fry bread and had just missed having any at my local fair since I went gluten free about a year ago. I think it was the best thing I’ve had since. Was nearly in tears! I got the sweet fry bread with honey butter and cinnamon sugar. I also enjoyed the chicken bbq on mashed potatoes and gf chocolate cake. I wish I had one of these at home! Seriously thinking about moving here just for this place! Thank you for such a good meal!“

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

“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?“

“Great place to eat great atmosphere and great service and staff“

“Delicious food and beautiful Art by Lorraine Lillian. #momlife #raines_ink“

“Delicious, quick and fit our budget❣️“

“The food was delicious!! The service was amazing❤️“

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

“The food is good and the staff are helpful and friendly. However, no one is wearing gloves or washing their hands after touching a range of services. I am sure they are up to code, but maybe don't grab the inside of a sauce container when you go to fill it with sauce, after touching the filthy payment screen? Will go again nonetheless.“

“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“

“Delicious fresh home made style Mexican food.“

“the meat loaf dinner was yummy“

“Good food and excellent customer service“

“Ok this place is legit. We just got take out but we'll be going back and having brunch there for sure. My friend got the French toast meal. Straightforward regular French toast. No bells or whistles, just really good bread dipped on a really good custard base and pan fried. Scrambled eggs were perfect and the bacon looked amazing. The fact that she was almost euphoric while eating it says it all.
I got the corned beef hash. OMG. Best corned beef hash I've had in a long time. Chunks of homemade corned beef shredded among potatoes, Bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. And over easy eggs that even after a nearly 10 minute drive home still had runny yokes. The only way it could have been better would have been to eat there and indulge in some should beverages with our brunch. 10/10 will be making this a regular brunch location.
Like I said we did take out, but the atmosphere makes us want to go back and never leave.“

“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.“

“Went to Midvale Mining Cafe again. We always get the ham and cheese omelets and the French toast did the same today. Food’s always good classic diner stuff.
Didn’t catch our server’s name this time because I think she’s new and she never really came back around much. Happens sometimes. Still we like the place and will keep coming back.“

“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).“
