Any must eat establishments?

Yes. Salt Lake is a very good food city. It's not New Orleans, Charlestown, or even Birmingham, but we always leave impressed.

Breakfast/Brunch:

Ruth's Diner
I had the salmon hash here and was impressed. They are known for their biscuits.

Penny Ann's Cafe
My wife is a pancake girl. She claims that these are the best pancakes she's ever had. We go here every time we are there and usually more than once. Be hungry.

Lunch:

Moochie's
They claim to have the best sandwich in town. Get a sandwich, fries, and the fry sauce.

The Park Cafe
Really enjoyed the people watching here. They had some Utah football recruits in there last time we were there.

R&R BBQ
Yep. Gas station BBQ. It was very good and a little taste of home.

Dinner Casual:

The Pie Underground
Iconic college pizza place. The pizza was good, but you're there for the atmosphere.

Red Iguana
Mole sauces. This is the place. There will be a line down the block at all times. It's worth the wait.

Dinner Fine Dining:

Provisions
Very well executed food here.

Log Haven
This is a little out of town and up one of the canyons, but I wouldn't go to Salt Lake City and not go here. It might be my favorite restaurant. Make a reservation and try to get there a little early. Scenery is amazing as is the food. If they have elk or bison on the menu, get it.

Breweries:

Fisher Brewing
My favorite venue. Again, I wouldn't go to SLC and not go here.

Epic Brewing
Epic had the best beers, but the venue wasn't good.


I'd move to SLC tomorrow if I could. Absolutely love it there. Have fun and report back.

+1 for White Horse. Really enjoyed that place, great food and atmosphere

Update from the OP?

Red iguana is good food.

Beehive is a solid bar as someone stated earlier.
