“This is a favorite place to grab a quick meal that is delicious and affordable. I had the Hawaiian Teriyaki with island mac, steamed veggies, and grilled chicken. YUM!

They want the customers to be happy with the food and service and we are!

“The food is great and super affordable.“

“Me and husband stopped for lunch around 1 or 2 pm. Greeted immediately and seated promptly. There's always a nice friendly atmosphere which makes it easy to relax. After a stressful day we were delighted to have a beautiful lady named Martha be our waitress. She was so personable and attentive! She says she's worked there for around 10 years! That's got a lot to say about a business these days.
We ordered 1/2 burgers and fries and we just couldn't stop eating it was so good.
Even if the food was not good I would have left 5 stars just for the service ! Give her a raise!“

“Friendly team members Thank you“

“There is no way for me to thank Natalie, An angel at the front desk. Natalie was able to alert me to fraud charges on my debit card. Being the fool that I am I attempted to help two people out that I thought were honest. Not so much. Thank you Natalie as well as your General Manager. Bless you both“

“Kayli is a wonderful server. Although I have been here a couples of times before this visit, today I struggled with a menu selection and she helped me immensely. I truly enjoyed my experience because of how well she provided a true attitude of caring and customer service. My breakfast was delicious.

I gave a 4 star of the food only because the breakfast potatoes were extremely salty and I had not experienced this from my past visits.“

“Me and my husband love the steak and cheese!! We go once a week!“

“We just had our wedding here 4/26/25 and if I could give 100 stars I would. From walking in the door to see the place to the end everything was perfect! They offered so much for a very affordable price, the food was amazing and plentiful. While the room was a “blank canvas” they offered decorations, a dessert bar, and any help we needed to make our day extra special. It was very professional but a small hometown feel. Our guests from out of town got a great deal with our room block and the rooms were spacious and clean! We didn’t have a DJ but the had a sound system and board to play our playlist. Everything was wonderful and we highly recommend for events!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Stopped in for a custard earlier today and got more than just dessert. The young man at the counter was kind, quick, and had a great smile—stood out to me after 40 years in dentistry. We even shared a quick laugh about him wearing a retainer. The place was spotless, the service fast, and the custard smooth as ever. Nielsen’s gets it right—quality product, quality people.

“Walking into Moore’s Family Restaurant feels like stepping into a warm hug, and the star of that hug—at least for me is the vegetarian omelet. I’ve had my fair share of diner breakfasts, but this one honestly stands out as something special. The eggs are fluffy without being rubbery, perfectly cooked every time, and they somehow manage to fold in a serious amount of veggies without the whole thing falling apart. Bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, and cheese all come together in this perfect, savory bite that feels both comforting and fresh.

What really elevates it is the balance: nothing is soggy, nothing is undercooked, and every forkful has a bit of everything. Pair it with their crispy hash browns and a hot cup of coffee, and you’re pretty much set for the day. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you slow down and actually enjoy your morning instead of rushing through it.

But as good as the food is, Moore’s is about more than just what’s on the plate. The staff creates what I can only describe as welcoming armies—friendly faces, warm greetings, and the sense that they’re genuinely glad you showed up. From the moment you walk in, there’s this easy, small-town energy: they remember regulars, they crack jokes, and they never make you feel rushed, even when they’re busy.

Whether you’re grabbing a solo breakfast, bringing family, or meeting a friend, Moore’s Family Restaurant has that rare combination of incredible comfort food and truly welcoming armies of hospitality. The vegetarian omelet alone is worth the trip—but the way they make you feel while you’re there is what will keep you coming back.“

“My salmon was cooked so well with the perfect crust and not overcooked, my grandson's shrimp was perfect also. The salad and rice was really tasty, not just normal, and the chocolate dessert was huge and absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was soooo much better than Texas Roadhouse. We could hear each other talk. The whole experience was so enjoyable. I'll come back for sure!“

“First time there today and we were not disappointed! We had the buffalo chicken melt and prime rib sandwiches.... oh my gosh it was beyond amazing! The staff was super friendly and helpful, very kind! we also tried the pumpkin cookie, lemon zucchini cookie, and the toffee! We will definitely be back!“

“The best place to visit when you are craving fresh, home cooked breakfast cooked perfectly every time! Highly recommend anytime of day.“

“Amazing food, better beer.“

“Very nice staff. Nothing amazing, not bad. Food is pretty good, and fair price. I love the classic diner layout. (think it used to be a wingers)

My main complaint was i think they were cleaning the bathroom or something. There was an extremely high smell of chemicals. To the owner, i would highly recommend dilute them with water, and or do this towards closing time for the fumes to settle overnight. We were seated just outside the bathroom, relocated several seats down, was still getting a headache from it.“

“I had to write a review because our service was unbelievable great. Blake, he never let my drink go empty. Our fries never ran out. Even with my 2 year old he was very patient and kind. It was a Monday evening,and surprisingly busy. Yet he handled it like we were his only table. My double burger was huge and very good. My wife had fish and chips, the price for what you get is amazing. My boy was distracted and only ate his fries, and a lot of them. So a big shout out to Blake“

“Great bar with wonderful, generous owners! Delicious food and fun atmosphere.“

“This was one of the better ones! Everything was good!“

“From what I understand Dylans is a franchise of Warrens.

Menu is the exact same, price is the same, food is the same.

Great food, i love their funnel fries, and the chicken cordon blue. Fries are good as well.

Real milkshakes, not the mainstream fast food kind. Thick, rich, smooth.

They always get our order right.

The breakfast menu i think is a bit overprice and under quality. It's like the next step up from mcdonalds breakfast, but 4x more on the price. I think either quality needs to come up to meet their price, or visa versa.“

“Totalmente recomendable ….!!!!“

“Came from American falls Idaho and loved the atmosphere the service was amazing and food was delicious would highly recommend making the trip!“

“I am from Florida love cheddars and when I ran across cheddars in Riverdale so excited wasn’t disappointed food was fantastic . Will you be opening any cheddars in slc West Jordan anywhere in Utah“

“I was hungry for spicy sausage pizza but didn’t see sausage as a pizza topping. I noticed that there was a spicy sausage penne pasta so I asked the waitress if they could use that sauce on the pepperoni pizza that was on the menu. She checked and the chef said absolutely and it was so delicious. I suggested they add that to their menu as the spicy rooster pizza! Our server was lovely and extremely friendly and knowledgeable about her job. We had a wonderful time passing through the town of Ogden.“

“the best place ever the drinks are amazing the food is to die for it's really good 10/10 recommend I love this place“
