Quite noisy on the inside but if you're one of the lucky ones to nab if the small metal tables out front, do it! Sunday Brunch menu was simple. I went with the Avocado Benedict. Very good - avocados were ripe, eggs poached perfectly with a pleasant hollandaise sauce on top of an English muffin. Would order it again. Others tried the French toast with Unicorn syrup and there was an avocado on toast that was consumed. Service was very good and I will be back for more. read more

Great spot. Especially for provo! Yummy food and great service. I would highly recommend making a reservation before coming. We made ours a day in advance and got seated almost immediately. The restaurant is huge and the menu has something for everyone. My friend liked his mimosa and we all love our food. It's really cute inside and has cool light fixtures and a cute neon sign! read more

Came over the weekend for a fancy valentines dinner date. We were about ten minutes late but we called ahead and they graciously held our table. With a constantly rotating menu, you never know what you're in for, and that can be both delightful and exciting, and a bit nerve wracking. We enjoyed the food a bit less than the last time we came, but we still enjoyed trying new flavor combinations and creative combinations. We ordered the mango and raspberry house made lemonades, and were disappointed in them. They were watery and our waiter told us they were just lemonade with some concentrate mixed in. Grab a soda instead! Once again we felt like our waiter could have been a bit more professional. It just felt like he could have used more experience and training. If the wait staff here was more exceptional, the entire dining experience would be elevated another star. Overall we'll probably be back for another fancy occasion to try the new items on the menu and branch out our ever adventurous flavor pallets! Not kid friendly. Parking is tight. read more

Love this place. It always has the best veggies and sides. Never disappointed. Great service. Be sure to get a reservation.

New go to breakfast spot in Provo. An amazing Chicken Fried Steak. Best I've ever eaten. It is a New York steak that is tenderized then fried. Makes those Cisco garbage pucks you get at most places look like garbage. The Block is clean, service was friendly, and their bacon is perfect as well. Pancakes were great with the unicorn syrup. Highly recommend this place. On another note the group next to us left 8 strips of delicious bacon on their table. Who leaves bacon. #nobaconleftbehind also there was a man at that table as well he needed to ensure the delicious bacon was not wasted. read more

Block Restaurant - Chicken fried steak - New American Near Me - Provo, Utah

The problem was the loud kitchen staff. They were yelling (and yes, yelling) to each other constantly. It was rude and took away from any good atmosphere that might have been there. Most unruly kitchen staff I've ever seen. They should call the Beet Salad an Arugula Salad, as there were only a few pieces, of what seemed like, canned beets. Probably won't return. read more

Stymied by a obscene line up in Sundance for a date night, my betrothed and I were hungry, in the area, and looking for some way to salvage our date night. We had seen Block on a few shows, and received a recommendation or two for this eatery - all good signs one would think. There was no line at around 9pm when we showed up, when we were seated at a kitschy, wobbly table. It appeared to be an establishment that was bold and willing to take risks; one such risk was equipping every table with a large 1 liter glass bottle sourced at Park City, in a town where most couples have a little one in tow. Taking a drink from the bottle quickly broke the illusion and provided a little humbling foreshadowing for our evening meal. The water, while wearing the trappings of high society was indeed lukewarm tap water. The dinner menu was very scant, just a few of your options are: Toast, Ox Tail soup, an overpowering Trout, a corn flatbread that disintegrated upon a sideways gaze, a $53 steak which potentially could not have been more than 3 very mealy slices and resting upon a Corn Puree with a Cucumber Corn Relish, and a Homemade Potato Gnocchi. While the steak was disappointing both in quantity and in quality, the Gnocchi was frankly inedible for a few reasons. The actual Gnocchi were great, soft and tender, the chefs followed the instructions perfectly as they were undoubtedly furnished by US Foods or Sysco, however any of that mass-produced highly engineered taste was quickly washed away in what was frankly - Mud. Mushroom Mud. Contrary to its description, the Gnocchi does not come 'with Roasted Mushrooms' but rather existed within a slop of rubbery mushrooms and completely doused in what may have been an entire can of cream of mushroom soup, which outweighed the portion of the steak two to three-fold. I have never tasted condensed fungus like this - it was truly and unequivocally like eating mud. Earthy, rubbery, runny, mushroom soup, with the consistency and thickness of a good sneeze - with the occasional potato Gnocchi ground into the paste. Thankfully that dish was only $37.00 (plus the automatic 20% gratuity), so we saved a little there instead of splurging on the 2oz steak. Overall the staff was nice, it was clean, but it's not an honest meal. They took a real shot which I can appreciate, but the shot was way off center and I'd be hard pressed to try much more after our little slice of soil soup. read more

Our absolute favorite breakfast spot. Quality, taste, flavor and options are insane. Our favorite is brunch, but dinner is also delicious. We always get the pancakes with unicorn syrup, their fresh brewed coffee, OJ, side of sausage, side of biscuits and the best biscuits and gravy I've ever eaten, with a poached egg is our preference. Plus everything is sourced locally, farm to table. Absolute fire!!! We drive down 40 minutes to eat brunch on Sundays. read more

Just finished Sunday brunch here. Coffee, eggs Benedict and avocado Benedict with rosemary potatoes. Coffee was exceptionally bitter no matter how much sugar or cream I used. The eggs were perfectly poached. The hollandaise tasted strongly of lemon. It was downright lemony. The rosemary potatoes might have had a single sprig of rosemary wafted in their direction much like La Croix has fruit wafted near it before bottling. It's clear that no one is actually tasting what is being cooked. All for $60. Not looking to return. read more

The food is so good! You can definitely taste the freshness. Service is always top notch! As for the Ambiance, this place checks all my boxes. I am in love with the bar because it is so inviting. The decor and style gives me the feeling I want when I am eating good food and hanging out with people I love. Music is the at the perfect volume so you can talk to one another. read more

Great spot! Nice decor, trendy, and the service is top notch. Brought the family with kids and everyone loved their food. We went for brunch and got several dishes. Favorites included the brioche french toast, man sando, and daily taco. Get the French toast if you want something sweet, the tacos for savory, and the man sando for in between. This will probably be our new brunch spot! read more

This was my favorite place we ate at on our trip to Provo. I started with a pomegranate mimosa and it was wonderful. I went for the French Dip sandwich which they use chuck roast I think instead of roast beef and it was incredible. It was the perfect size with fries. The fries were also way above average and I'm craving them just thinking about it now. Next time i'm in town I will definitely be back! read more

The service was decent and the food was good. The French toast was yummy but not the best brioche French toast I've had. Others at our table ordered dishes that looked really good! Impressed with the bottomless French pressed coffee. The scrambled eggs side were very good. Make a reservation! We got there early and managed to get seated within 10 min but if filled up quick! read more

If you find yourself in the Provo, UT area - you MUST try Block Restaurant. The location and ambience of the restaurant is fabulous. The food is divine - we went with a group and everyone tried a taste of what each person had ordered. There wasn't a bad dish in the house. The bread with their custom butters were unique and tasty. I had the New York Steak with fondant potatoes and carrots. It was delicious! If you are looking for a cocktail, they have an extensive list from which to choose. The service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend. read more

This place is SO yummy! We went for breakfast. My sister and I shared the biscuits and gravy and the brioche French toast with the unicorn syrup (basically buttermilk syrup). We all ate ALL our food. Like all of it. The ambiance is SO cute and fun. I love the quotes on the walls and the lovely roses they had in tall vases all around the restaurant. Because we loved the food so much, we do wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger (especially for the price), but all in all it was yummy and fun! read more

This was my favorite spot on my trip to Utah. We came here for Easter brunch. I started with a cucumber margarita, my mom had one of their specialty brunch cocktails and my sister had a mango lemonade. We all loved our drinks. Our waiter made each dish sound better than the next. I went for something I usually don't go for and got the pork belly & grits with over easy eggs. My mom had the biscuits and gravy with a poached egg and my sister tried their chocolate chip pancakes. We also got an order of french toast for the table because we had to try their special syrup. It's called unicorn syrup and it's infused with vanilla and cinnamon. Everything was so so good. read more

I heard kind of mixed reviews so I was wary but my family went for brunch and everything was delicious. I got the BLT Eggs Benedict and I was obsessed. The tomato and arugula were fresh and tangy, the bacon was thick cut and salty, and the egg was perfectly poached with lemony hollandaise. Th french toast was tender and delicious and the the poutine had tender meat and good flavor but was a bit heavy and one noted. Service was good. Menu was fun. Atmosphere was top notch. I will return again for sure to try their other menus. read more

Saw this restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it. When I saw the pictures it showed a lot of varieties on the menu so we went. When we got there, I was pleasantly surprised if the restaurant, small but modern. The team was all great! My only disappointment was how small the menu was in the varieties being offered, due to covid. I wished they had a chicken dish. It's my fault for not looking at the website and the current menu, instead I was looking at the pictures. Anyways, everything we order was amazing, I would absolutely go again! read more

Our friends invited us to dine with them at this restaurant, a place that they frequent on their own, and we loved it as first-timers. Our server was Kai, who was knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the duration of our meal. I appreciated his wit and ability to jump into our conversation (he was invited into these conversations every time he passed by our table) and didn't seem to miss a beat. Not only did we love all the food and drinks, but our service was incredible. Such a great experience and very much looking forward to returning. read more

Minute details. Those are the things that really make a place excellent. The extra couple of seconds it may take to wipe a plate, the small adjustment to the tableware so it sits parallel to the angles of the table -- these are the kinds of things that great restaurants do to set themselves apart. And from what I can tell, that's what Block is aspiring to be: great. Though it only recently opened its doors, you can tell there's a lot of time, love, and experience that goes into the place, and it shows in the details. Now, before I set your expectations too terribly high, understand that it's a new place, and that they inevitably will take a while to find that rhythm. But on my visit late one night, it seemed to be in sync. We nearly missed the turn because to be honest, you don't expect a restaurant to occupy a space in this retail development on the east side of University. It's way up there and you might expect a fancy furniture firm, or even a funeral home, but there they are in a nicely decorated,comfortable space with lots of parking across the development. I was especially excited to see that they take reservations. This is a rarity in these parts, and even more stoked that they're using Yelp Reservations which means I can make a reservation right here on their page online (or on the app) without having to log in somewhere else or without charging them a per-seating fee. Always a good sign ;) Kelcee was there to take care of us, and from the start you knew she was a total pro. She has years of experience and it shows -- officially she's the COO but on our visit she was a charming, attentive server that offered some recommendations and made the experience even better. Let's get to the real meat, though. The food. Their overall concept is a farm-to-table, locally sourced menu... which isn't a concept in and of itself; having locally sourced ingredients is just what we should expect. Their menu is chef-driven and changes frequently depending on what's in season. There are a good amount of smaller plates, and the overall menu is New American; the kind where they list ingredients but save a little surprise for when the food arrives. It's plated beautifully and even though you get high quality ingredients and an appropriate plate size, we all felt like it was reasonably priced. You'll pay at least 25% more for food like this in other towns, maybe more. Drinkers delight--they have a full alcohol license. That's even rarer in these parts and even though I'm not a drinker, my table ordered up some wine and a cocktail and had high praise. I ordered the pork loin, and it was wonderful. It had a generous cut and it was juicy, which for loin, is a feat. The yam puree stole the scenes, though. Holy cow. A little apple chutney and you have the killer combo of the night. To be honest, though, I was most jealous of the person who ordered the beet salad and the charred peas. Hands down, the charred peas are the best dish I've had in recent memory and when I go back in a few weeks I'm going straight for them. As with all new places, they're bound to experience some ups and downs, but happily our visit was all ups. They've carved out a nice niche for themselves in Provo as the preferred date spot (the couple across the way demonstrated this perfectly--was it a Tinder date? A setup? I dunno, but it went well from what I could see!) and somewhere that you can get a nice meal, at a decent price, with a drink, no fluff but serious chops. The panna cotta was the perfect end, and Kelcee took care of us with a lil' chocolate cake and that pretty much pushed me over the edge to be a new fan of the restaurant, and definitely made me a fan of her. It will be exciting to see what happens as they continue to build momentum, gain a following, and reach out for those minute details that demonstrate excellence. read more

So this is a rare review. I have been to this place multiple times and had multiple items. Normally my reviews consist of my first impression but... not today. For the most part, everything is a hit here, every now and then they will throw a wrench into their dish by adding like pea puree during whatever season peas are a thing. My least favorite season is spring for them. I like summer, and love fall and winter. Especially the squash soup that they serve during the fall. It tastes like a savory candy. All of their main dishes are hits but the most consistent one (on the menu all year round) is obviously their burger. It truly is a delightful burger and you are safe getting it if you are a weak person who can't adventure out like me. The desserts have seemed to remain consistent all year. But the winner is the popcorn one... if you don't like caramel corn (pronounce kar-mul) just get the pudding or panacotta... trust me it is divine. THE VERDICT: I will actually be going here again in a couple of weeks. We go at least twice a year for fine dining. I have never been disappointed by a meal here... by a dish, absolutely... but you will always leave happy. Which is why I continue to go... and it is hard to get me to go anywhere besides In-n-out consistently. I was originally going to give this place a 4 (it is somewhere between 4-4.5) but after reading someone's dumb review I am giving it a 5. I am amazed that Yelp has lasted as long as it has letting the people who also use twitter create reviews. See you guys on Friday! read more

Farm-to-table, seasonal chef-crafted meals. We started with the Artichoke Ricotta dip and their outstanding charcuterie board featuring Spanish almonds, pickled blueberries, local goat cheese, and house-made dijon mustard.

This was a super pleasant surprise. Came in around 8pm on a Saturday night and it was easy to get a table. My guest and I shared a lettuce wedge salad that was honestly a different take on a traditional lettuce wedge than I've had before and it was fantastic! Yes it had blue cheese crumbles, but the dressing was a green goddess dressing, and the blue cheese was not so plentiful that it took over the flavor of the dish which I really appreciated. That's such a strong cheese. It really doesn't need to be given in large quantities and often restaurants do. I came with pickled onions and small bacon bits and the lettuce was super fresh and it was just refreshing and delicious. We then shared the Mary's chicken. This might be one of the better chicken dishes I've had in a long time. The first thing that stood out was that the chicken was not over cooked. I mean honestly, when was the last time you went to a restaurant and the chicken wasn't over cooked? It came on a bed of seared squash that was flavorful and tender with a wonderful potato dumpling like thing that married incredibly well with the sauce which is really hard to describe. Best I can do is say olive oil, garlic, lemon and mint puree which was completely different a delightful surprise. I loved it! Huge recommendation! We had a young gal, Olivia, who was quite attentive and made sure our meal went well. My only complaint was that the floors felt slightly sticky. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it was the end of the night and they hadn't had a full chance to adequately attend to a spill of some kind. Since the tables didnt seem sticky I relaxed. I am excited to go here again. I'm anxious to try some new dishes given how wonderful the last meal was. read more

I noticed that the negative reviews of Block focus largely on service rather than food. Some reviewers seem particularly annoyed at having to wait for 10 minutes, for example, to order dessert or to be seated. I reserved in advance and had zero wait. As for waiting to order or to get food, this isn't fast food it's a night out, presumably with someone you want to be with and talk to. So do that while waiting. Now on to the food. Portions are perfect, flavors are strong but complex, ingredients are well sourced, and plating is aesthetically pleasing without being overwrought. We had an artichoke starter with a delicious tomato jam, a beetroot salad, gnocchi, pork loin, and the popcorn panna cotta. The variety of flavors was a delight. This may become a new go-to for a nice meal out and for visitors who want some local cuisine that proves we're not all about fry sauce and funeral potatoes. Finally, atmosphere is nice but the open layout can lead to a noisier atmosphere than you might desire for intimate dinners (for that, try to sit tucked in toward a corner or wall). In all, this is one of the nicest local dining experiences for quality without unnecessary fuss. read more

A gem in Provo - boozy brunch open on Sunday's! Our food was great and theres live music. My only complaint is that with my party of 6, there was quite a bit of confusion with our bills (items being placed on the wrong checks and cards given to the wrong person). However, not a big deal at all considering our waitress was so nice and welcoming, and we were able to work it out quickly. Can't wait to be back! read more
