“First time here. Service was great, dining area clean and well decorated, prices reasonable, food was fresh and delicious! We had a Reuben, Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries and tiger buffalo wings, and a shake. Wish you were in Ogden! But we’ll eat here next time we’re down this way.“

“There truly is nothing better than Skillets. Absolutely nothing! There’s something for everyone and I’ve never eaten anything I didn’t like!“

“very impressed with this place from the staff up front to watching the kitchen crank out food and the food was amazing! will be back again during my visit to slc. 🤩🙌🏽👍🏽“

“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.“

“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“

“, I recently dined in at Applebee’s, and I wanted to take a moment to share my experience. My server was Whitney, and she was absolutely phenomenal. The ambiance was excellent, and I ordered the Bourbon Street steak, which was cooked to perfection—big shoutout to the cooks! The manager even stopped by to say hello and check on me, which I really appreciated. I hadn’t been to Applebee’s in a while, but as always, it didn’t disappoint. I loved the food and will definitely be back soon!“

“The food!! The Service!!! The ambience!!!“

“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“

“The most imaginative chef west of the Mississippi! Please dine here….it is incredible!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Really good.“

“Amazing southern food! Best I've had in Utah!!“

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

“Excellent food and excellent service. Absolutely recommend.“

“Was great, everything delicious and fast EXCEPT the initial service. We were waiting at our table for 10 minutes before even getting our drinks, then had to wait another 10 minutes before getting to order our food. An older guy started serving us who I think was actually the bartender was really nice tho and even gave us 2 free mint ice cream cake desserts for free at the end so that made up for it. I don't know why he was helping all the tables around us while there was 2 young workers at the front on their phones and talking to me it looked like we're only helping with greeting and seating people.“

“I've been there probably a half a dozen times and it was always hilarious and fun“

“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?“

“Unique spot specializing in potato based dishes like garbage fries and baked potatoes. This is a perfect place for anyone gluten free with almost their whole menu, including desserts being able to be made gluten free. Special shoutout to the gluten free fry bread with cinnamon butter.

Also we showed up 20 minutes to their closing time without even realizing and the employees were still so kind and not pressuring us to leave. Wish we were more aware for sure but the service and food deserves 5 stars“

“My kids love their menu! My wallet loves it more, lots of food at a great price.“

“Really good food and great service.“

“Delicious, quick and fit our budget❣️“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I first visited Roux last year and it has become our place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and any other special occasion. The rotating menu always has unique flavors that are incredible! We still have yet to try something we didn’t like. The funeral potato pave is consistently one of our favorites. I forgot to take a picture of the steak and chicken we had last night but our finished plates should tell you everything!“

“I was SO exhausted after an intensely impactful work day and decided to come to Tuscan Bistro for dinner. The homestyle lasagna was delicious 😋!! so much so that I ordered another to go. And Keval was so accommodating and welcoming! I think I may have found someplace to dine and unwind when I'm here on future work trips. Service at it's absolute best. Thank you ❤️“

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

“I had been promising my grandson. I would take him there to get something to eat. He had been wanting to for a while. He gave it a 10 out of 10 absolutely enjoyed It!!! Could not stop raving about the biscuits and gravy and the chicken tenders. Absolutely delicious. Awesome price as well! I personally thought the gravy was delicious as well and I usually don't care for gravy, so that's saying a lot.“

“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.“

“I just had the BEST service ever! 🤩 Our waitress, Patty, was so friendly and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and always with a smile. Seriously, give this woman a raise! She totally made our dining experience at this place top-notch.💯 #GreatService #BestWaitressEver“

“I just tried to get pizza delivered to my Airbnb and after 30 minutes gave up and ordered a steak to go it’s delicious and the girls were very very sweet great service! Highly recommend I was a little jealous I was taking it with me because the vibe seemed really good inside would be a great date night“

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

“Healthy fast-casual done exactly right.

The real genius of Vessel Kitchen is that it completely skips the boring, rigid health-food templates and lets you build a meal that actually makes sense for what you're craving.

The menu is an absolute playground of clean eating—you can seamlessly mix and match high-quality proteins, perfectly prepped veggies, and robust sides, then tie it all together with their incredible scratch-made sauces. Everything is vibrant, deeply flavorful, and incredibly fast, whether you're sitting down in the space or grabbing a quick takeout order on a hectic evening. It is the ultimate spot for a fast, custom meal that leaves you feeling genuinely fueled, not weighted down.“

“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“

“Good food and excellent customer service“

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

“We came with our dog in training and sat on the patio. Our server was so awesome with our pup. She immediately brought out a bowl of water, had treats for her, and was understanding when she exhibited poor manners ( jumping up and barking for more treats). We had the beer and poutine. The poutine was a large bowl-very shareable. It was mozzarella poutine, the gravy was salty, but delish! Would totally recommend this place, atmosphere was chill and friendly. Very neighborhood hangout kind of vibe.“

“This food was so fresh and delicious. I got the grilled chicken sandwich, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and zucchini strips. Everything was so yummy. The customer service was amazing they were so nice. Drive thru line was a little long but it moved quickly. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“Delicious fresh home made style Mexican food.“
