EricApril 18, 2016Biscuits are excellent! Pulled pork sandwich and salmon BLT did not disappoint either. I haven't been here in 15 years since leaving SLC and was happy to see it was as good as ever.- A very popular breakfast restaurant in a beautiful location. The biscuits are baked fresh every day. Love them with honey or jam. The patio is a great place to sit on nice days
- Now they can get busy around lunch so arrive by 11:30 am. If it is nice outside, sit on the patio. Great food, service, and setting for a refreshing lunch break.
Jc WraspirNovember 19, 2011An institution in restaurant history, a quaint, throw back atmosphere with awesome patio dining by trees and babbling river. Train car cafe, delicious buttermilk biscuits (huge) with raspberry jam.
Kimberly SOctober 12, 2011Best for breakfast I think. Really good Holendaise sauce. BBQ summer nights on the patio with live music, or sit inside during the winter and eat on a snowy night. Love it.- Arrived 5 minutes before they opened today & all tables filled in 10 minutes. Loved the early am breakfast. Biscuit with preserves is like a desert. Delicious 10 times over!
Kurt RichterMarch 29, 2015Pretty much cant miss on anything for breakfast but get there early. Classic old style diner. Beautiful location especially when weather permits outdoor seating.
Kaley HartMarch 8, 2016Go for brunch. You won't be disappointed. Always crowded but worth the wait. Biscuits & homemade jam are to die for.
Now Salt LakeJune 8, 2012The chocolate malt pudding comes in a tall parfait glass topped with enough whipped cream that would make Bill Cosby weep. Smooth as cold cream, it coats the mouth and is a sensuous satin flow. Read more
Ruth's DinerNovember 18, 2013Famous for its award-winning breakfast, brunch and dinner. Our menu is a collection of family favorites and comfort classics from the family cookbook!
Grant GartlandSeptember 7, 2013The biscuits are insanely good, try not to fill up on them. The prices are crazy as well, $20 for a full breakfast we couldn't finish & extra biscuits for the road.- B BurdettJuly 9, 2016Always great, well prepared food, comfortable atmosphere and enchanting surroundings
Great place for Sunday brunch. Typical hour wait around noon. The acoustic music adds to the ambiance. Love the pulled pork Benedict
Doug CaldwellSeptember 18, 2011Featured on Food Network show Diners, Drive-Ins,& Dives. Just a few minutes drive from downtown area. Biscuits are really big, see photo.Nice weather sit outside on patio.
KathJanuary 9, 2015Ask for a side of gravy with your biscuit instead of ordering the full sized one so you can enjoy other dishes :)- T RMarch 28, 20151.Skinny Burrito with pinto beans is quite filling for a breakfast . 2. Good service and friendly staff.
- Ruth's DinerNovember 11, 2013Be sure to save room for dessert! Ask your server about the Dessert of the Day.
Brett RicleySeptember 28, 2012Salmon BLT is incredible. Moist, with pesto mayo. Of course the mile high biscuits are en essential too.
Aaron SmythFebruary 10, 2013It can be very busy. Help yourself to some free coffee around the back of the building while you wait for a table to open up.
Leslieann WilliamsSeptember 20, 2015Order the $6 Early Bird breakfast between 8am-9am. Pancakes, sausage, bacon, hashbrowns, and eggs!
Mitchell WulfmanJuly 7, 2017Unique spot in a canyon, worth the drive. Big plates of tasty breakfast noms.
Annalisa MilloJune 7, 2012AWESOME bloody marys, except they're extremely spicy, so ask them to dilute it with some tomato juice if you're not big on spicy.
Nicholas StevensAugust 12, 2016always ask about the specials, haven't gone wrong once getting one of them.
The dinner rolls come so warm they melt the butter in the package. Delicious I could eat them for my meal and be satisfied.- The best mile high biscuits in the nation. It makes breakfast a special meal.
Christina DuVallApril 21, 2012Vegetarians try this... Reuben sandwich with a vegan patty in place of the meat... Sooo Good!!
Alex DrakeAugust 20, 2010Thursday night is Barbecue night and it's ALL GOOD! And make sure to leave room for the chocolate pudding for desert.
