    This tradition has been around for nearly 90 years, making it Utah’s second oldest restaurant. It has canyon views, but the real reason to visit is for the fluffy “Mile High Biscuits.” Read more

    Biscuits 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

    The mac and cheese was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, so you know it has to be good. (Oh, and the secret ingredient? Cottage cheese.) Read more

    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.

    An 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.

    Best 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.

    Pretty much cant miss on anything for breakfast but get there early. Classic old style diner. Beautiful location especially when weather permits outdoor seating.

    The 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

    The 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.

    Ask for a side of gravy with your biscuit instead of ordering the full sized one so you can enjoy other dishes :)

    Salmon BLT is incredible. Moist, with pesto mayo. Of course the mile high biscuits are en essential too.

    It 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.

    AWESOME bloody marys, except they're extremely spicy, so ask them to dilute it with some tomato juice if you're not big on spicy.
