Anyone care to eat meat cooked on here? Ew.
Travis B.

I've tried this spot on a few occasions and it is just not great. My expectations for fast-Mex really aren't that high and I don't expect a stellar meal at any of them. This location lowers the bar in flavors and cleanliness. The meats tend to be overcooked and most of the items they are putting in your meal seem bland and flavorless. You can't find any hot sauce to tune it up and are stuck with greasy cheese flavored jerky. In a tortilla. Taking in to account we are transitioning through COVID and staffing issues, when you visit at 3pm on a Sunday, count 2 customers and 6 employees, there really isn't a reason for such filth. Dirty tables, dirty floors, garbage cans than look like they haven't been cleaned ever and prep stations that look horrendous. This visit was so bad I chose not to even order and picked up a sandwich at another fast food spot. I hope they get it together. This is a nice outfit with a good location and plenty of room inside for a good dining experience.

Nachos and Kids Quesadilla
Bailee P.

This is a joke. I ordered (through the drive-thru) some grilled chicken nachos and paid an additional $2 for a large queso to get a half filled container and a missing 2oz queso (that comes automatically) with my nachos. Additionally my kids cheese quesadilla was a complete mess. I asked for no rice and substitute for more refried beans, and this is what was given. The portions were awful and packaging was horrible. This isn't the first time this location has screwed up. Please do better.

Chicken shot anyone!!

What the heck is going on?? Added extra chicken to my order and this is what I get $2 doesn't sound like a lot, but this amount of chicken should cost only 25 cents.

Love the new location!! More room and there's a drive thru now! The best part for me is that they have pebble ice now, it makes a difference for me!! Lol. I've been a few times since the new location opened and it seems way busier so I think it was a good move for them. I always try to get the special of the day when I go because it's a bargain. It's not the best most authentic Mexican food but it's pretty darn good!!

The staff is friendly. I feel a little rushed through the line but it isn't bad. The food is good. Always hot and fresh. I will return.

The food is always good, but the service was great. Very clean and casual. Good place for a quick meal, sit down or take out. Yummy.

The sweet pork burrito is a fave and their mango salsa. So good. The drive through makes life so much easier.

I mean really how can you not love crown burger. I love the atmosphere it feels like I'm still…read morestepping back into the 90s when I'm here and I mean that in the best way possible. Truly amazing food. It doesn't always seem the cleanest to me personally in here but hey I'm here for the food.

So the last time I had been to Crown Burger in Layton was well over a decade ago and we didn't…read morethink the quality of food was worth the price. Flash forward to now, and I thought I'd give them another shot after viewing the delicious looking photos on here. Ordered a Jr. Crown Burger and a medium vanilla and orange cream shake. The shake was absolutely delicious and something that I'd definitely order again in a large size. The flavoring was phenomenal and it didn't melt all at once in this late Spring heat. The Jr. Crown Burger was filled to the brim with meat, but they forgot the onions and tomatoes along with the fact the bun was stale tasting and wouldn't hold together. I did go close to closing so I definitely will not make that mistake again. I'm not quite sure if it's worth the price (almost $10 for one burger) but there are definitely other menu options that I would like to try. All of the employees are very friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy their job which was a nice thing to see. If you haven't tried them, I highly suggest that you do (but try to go during the daytime and not the later evening hours).

Place could use a cleaning (like with clean towels) Shakes…read moreare good Fish and chips aren't bad Burgers are simple

Culver's in Layton is a few years "new", which makes it even more weird that so many things…read morefeel... sticky. And I do mean a pattern, not a one-off. Front door? Sticky. Restroom door handle? Sticky. Table? Also sticky. After the third visit with the same issue, I felt like it was worth saying something to the management. Now, the food itself is a different story. The burgers are simple, solid, and always hot. I can honestly say I've never been served a cold burger here. The cheese curds are a hit with my family, and I'll give credit where it's due: they're pretty darn good. The shakes and frozen custard are excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The chicken? It's fine. Not bad, not magical. Kind of in the "you could make something similar at home" category. If you love ranch, that may help the experience along. Drive-thru is where things can go sideways. Be prepared for delays, repeating your order, and the occasional feeling that the crew is having way more fun than the customers are. Maybe it's an off-day thing, maybe it's a pattern, but it has happened enough that I expect it now. (I don't care if they're having fun. It's the screaming through the intercom, inattentive order taking because they're screwing around that I am simple over it) Would I go back? Yeah. The food is good enough that I probably will...not. (my kids will) Would I prefer to be in the passenger seat while someone else handles the ordering? Also yeah. For food that's not bad but not great (just "meh") I'll go down the street to El Burrito instead.
