Came here with my friends for brunch and it did not disappoint! We ordered most of the menu haha. Honestly their coffee was really good. The place was big but had different rooms so felt pretty casual for groups. All of the meals we got were delicious, did not expect pulled salmon for the lox. The potato side dishes were a little weird. I would DEF recommend the breakfast sandwich it will cure ur hangover. Would come here again!

Baked ricotta - yum!
David V.

This meal was a fitting end to a successful business trip - and it was a tasty finale, indeed! We had a tequila-based drink called "on a Tuesday" that was the perfect compliment. Our appetizer was the surprising, addictive baked ricotta with fig and guanciale compote - soooo good! We followed that with a sublime bolognese - creamy and perfectly balanced. No room for dessert - sadly! Superb service made for a truly special evening!

Gnocchi
Brianne C.

There were certainly things I liked about Block when we visited yesterday, but overall, it seems a bit overpriced for what we received. This restaurant is fairly cozy bordering on cramped. My mother-in-law reserved dinner for a large group for my father-in-law's birthday, and our table was a bit crowded. I ordered the gnocchi. It was delicious, with lots of short rib--but, for some reason, very little gnocchi. I enjoyed the sourdough bread and the chocolate potted cream (which we had to order without the whipped cream as it has alcohol--recommend offering the option of regular whipped cream here in Utah). We also ordered the charcuterie, which looked delicious but which I was unable to try for medical reasons. At the rather expensive price point, the service could really use a boost. We went long periods of time without seeing our server, and she pushed my father-in-law into ordering a dessert since it was, supposedly, free. (It was not free; it came up on the bill.) All in all, a bit disappointing.

English muffin

Went to the Block Restaurant for brunch on Sunday. Service was great but a large error in their eggs Benedict. The English muffin was so burned in the bottom that one needed a steak knife to enable cutting the muffin. The Hollandaise sauce was great and the egg was cooked to perfection. The muffin was so hard the table knife would not cut it.

The Block is a lovely farm to table restaurant on university avenue in provo. It is refreshingly unexpected for being in a strip mall. It is a bit brightly lit for a date night restaurant, but the brick wall and open kitchen are very pretty. We started with the charcuterie board, which I wouldn't recommend. None of us particularly loved their choice of cheeses and accoutrements, however the prosciutto and nuts were our favorite part. The gnocchi was very good, I'd highly recommend it. The only complaint with it was the sauce was very thin and was served with a fork. I would return and would recommend.

Lamb - Greek style

So fun to walk into a weird pillared building and enter a fancy restaurant. The service is kind and accommodating and the food is always unique and delicious!

Block toast
Elsie W.

Came here tonight to celebrate Valentine's Day and was happy to find another delicious more upscale restaurant in utah county! Our server made some great recommendations which really helped us enjoy our meal. She recommended the block toast for our appetizer - and I'll be honest, I was SUPER apprehensive. I didn't know exactly what to expect. But it was my favorite bite of the night! Just enough heat, the apple jam wasn't too sweet, bacon added just enough saltiness. It was well balanced. Would've loved the piece of sourdough to be toasted on both sides but other wise a pretty impeccable dish. The wedge was good! Nothing to write home about but yummy. The spring trout was great. I was nervous the chorizo tomato jam was going to overpower everything else- which I think it could've, but I balanced my spoonfuls well. The gnocchi were light and fluffy. Loved the au jus it was set in. The chocolate cake had a ganache on top, a coffee crème anglaise, rum whipped cream and an almond crunch on top. It needed every component but was tasty. Though it wasn't too sweet (I'm not a fan of overly sweet desserts). I would've loved some finishing salt on top just to balance everything out. My biggest qualm with block, is their chairs. You know that nail on a chalkboard sound? Think that in chair form. Very jarring. The chairs need some felt or something underneath them to help them slide smoother and more quiet :)

Lasagna
Andrew G.

Won't be coming back here): for the 5 dishes we had it was $140 which really isn't bad for utah upscale dining. However, i think it was worth $60-70. The baked ricotta was amazing and i would eat that again, same with the cake. But everything else was way over-priced and underwhelming. We had a pear salad that was literally costco spring mix with some overripe pears in it, no dressing no nothing. They were kind enough to also throw in a handful of walnuts in there, coming to a price of $16 for a salad you get at a school cafeteria. Lasagna legitimately tasted like chef boyardee, which wouldn't have been bad if it wasn't $30. The duck breast was very promising and was actually very flavorful, just super chewy. Interior was reminiscent of an upscale texas roadhouse and we came home somehow smelling like barbecue / smoke? Sorry for the bad review but i just don't think anyone can justify how this food is priced

Drove up to Provo wanting some decent brunch. Was disappointed. I question the hygiene of this place. I travel a lot and rarely get upset stomach. I ordered the fresh squeeze orange juice. With 10 mins of taking a few sips, my stomach started to rumble. And it was bad. I had runny stomach for the next 4 hours until everything was purged. I ordered the Benedict's, needless to say I didn't have much appetite. But even if my stomach was not upset, it wasn't exactly properly executed. The Hollandaise sauce was way overcooked, noticed the big thick clump instead of slight runniness? Fries and ham was kinda dry. Oh, have I mentioned service was extremely slow??? Was rather surprised by the great review.

Eggs Benedict

This is the official petition to create a second Block Restaurant location further north. This was my first time dining at Block Restaurant and I feel like it's just hiding out in Provo. I know so many people who would eat here on a regular basis if it was closer to SLC. The food, the service, the mimosas...It's all something to write home about. Our group tried a little bit of everything, but the crowd pleasers were the burrito, benny, and the brioche (French toast). All of them bursting with flavor, filled with fresh ingredients, and prepared to perfection. I could write a love story about the barbacoa burrito. It was probably the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. No other burrito can live up to it's legendary goodness. To all my fellow northern Utah dwellers, you should most definitely make the trip to Provo just to try Block Restaurant. It's worth it.

#1 brunch spot in Provo, especially for Sundays. They have an amazing farm to table menu, that changes seasonally. Love being able to get an adult beverage in Utah County. Give these guys all your money!

Manmosa
Spencer R.

We visited on a Sunday morning for brunch. I got a Bloody marry Which was solid, good spice, small for the money though. The wife got the Manmosa which was "fine", heavy on the champagne which isn't her fav. We were with some friends so we have some good insight across a few dishes. Chef special : Plantains were epic, whomever makes those needs a raise! Chorizo was tasty, would have used one more though. "I could have just had the plantains and chorizo". It needs a salsa though. Egg's Benedict: Perfectly cooked eggS, Potatoes were crispy and tasty. For sure would order again. Chicken fried steak: The steak was a little too chewy, I am guessing that using a New York for this would naturally turn out on the fattier side and frying isnt going to render is down much. The spice in the hash browns was strong but good. The cheese and jalapeño were mixed in, not on top. The gravy was bomb, creamy and super flavorful. I would put that on anything. Block Hash: Very good. Bacon was crispy. The sauce stuff was amazing. The zucchini and yellow squash added a nice texture. It needed a little salt/pepper or salsa. The salsa on the side ended up being $1/each for maybe one ounce. Kinda silly. It if was a cup, that might be more reasonable. Atmosphere: A lot of nice wood against grays and metal creates a great welcoming feel. The little blocks they use for the check were fun. It was a little hot and stuffy, they could benefit from addition airflow. Recommend to others: the group consensus is 3-4 out of 5

Gnocchi. Cold. Room temperature.

This is the third time we've been here and the first time I've left a review…read more We were excited to visit again because we don't often make it to the Orem area. When we arrived and sat down, we were greeted by Joe telling us that "House rules, you're not allowed to order the same item". Lol. Love that guy! We both ordered Denver omelets, one without onions,extra mushrooms, French toast, and grits and one without mushrooms, hash browns, and pancakes. First off, the pancakes were amazing! They're light, had crispy edges, and had a wonderful flavor. But the best thing was it was in the shape of little donuts, which was a nice surprise. Our entrees came but were somehow got switched. We didn't realize it at first but both were still good. Unfortunately, my wife put Chalula on hers and I put Tobasco on mine and we don't like each other's choice of condiments. The other unfortunate thing was that I had an eggshell in my omelet. Even though we had these misfortunes you can't hide the flavor of these dishes and they certainly don't skimp on toppings. My grits were too sweet today. If it's too sweet for me, it must've been really sweet. The only other criticism I saw was that they were filling the syrup bottles from large Log Cabin jugs. They also were using Idahoan shredded potatoes from a large carton. I can understand the potatoes but how great would it be to have freshly made syrup. Still a great experience and they are still one of the best breakfast places on the state.

Took my family to Joe's and it was so worth it! As we were walking down the sidewalk looking for…read morethe entrance - Joe, himself, called out to us to come on over because he was waiting to hold the door. This warm, friendly welcome set the tone for the whole experience. Joe stopped by and told us the "rules". Everyone orders something different and we all share. My daughters both ordered waffles but one got it in a combo so she could follow the rules. I got the breakfast burrito with Texas sausage & bacon. My husband got the eggs & diced ham with a side of biscuits and gravy. My son got the French Dip because you can order breakfast or lunch at 10 am. Everyone ate a good portion if not all of their food. It was good. We will definitely be back. For the food but more for the service!
