Wow. The place all the locals come to. From small groups to multi family groups. This is a hoping place. I was greeted and seated quickly. I felt bad about a single taking a 4 topper but the tables turn over quickly. Breakfast and lunch are served all day. Both have a lot of inexpensive choices. Somewhat overwhelming so I took the servers choice of sandwich. Turkey melt on sourdough. The sandwich was awesome. The service was great. I'd recommend as a stop.

Great place for some hearty breakfast. Hometown feel. Friendly service. Old school diner vibes. The waitresses are good about keeping your coffee cups full. The food was pretty decent. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak. The avocado toast was decent. Check it out if you're in the area!

This is a quality location close to I 80 and great access The place was very clean and well attended. My belief is the local community eats here (they all seem to know each other) The Food was great I ordered my usual chicken fried steak and medium cooked eggs The food came hot and quickly The eggs were definitely not medium (over easy is what they were) also missing was my jalapeño tobacco sauce. Most dinners have this. Our service was prompt and she was great to communicate with. 4 /5

Lady that served was nice and gave solid suggestions, I had the mushroom Swiss burger, my dad got a smothered burrito oh my gosh it was gas loved it. GREAT COFFEE! One of the only places that coffee didn't disappoint, wanted strong coffee and got it . Food was beyond good, huge and great for pricing, was stacked full but we got our food way quick. Definitely coming back when I come around again! Cashier was cool too. Environment was crowded but oh well.

Always good food, breakfast or lunch. A diner in a small town like it should be. This is not Dennys, in a the best way.

We sat on the patio with our two toddlers and dog. There were a lot of flies and it was a bit hot but we wanted to be outside so that is on us! The flowers surrounding the restaurant are so pretty. We spent a moment admiring the fuzzy bumble bees before leaving. The food was good too. I got the special BLT. I can't remember the exact name but it had sprouts and avocado in addition to the BLT part. I put some fry sauce on it and it was delish! The sweet potato fries were great too. My husband said they were better than the regular ones he ordered. He got a burger and he said it was average (not bad, not mind blowing). My 3 year old enjoyed a plate of 3 small pancakes and bacon. He said it was "really good"! We visit Kamas a lot for our camping adventures, and we will definitely be back! It was slightly more pricey than average; we paid $55 for two entrees, a kids meal, and an iced tea (with a tip). Not crazy expensive but a little more than comparable diners (e.g. Blackbear Diner).

We love Mirror Lake Diner. Food is always great, service always friendly. Today I went a bit…read morehealthier and got a salad, it was delish. Had tons of ham, cheese, carrots, tomato and cucumber. They didn't skimp on any of it. It was packed today and we still got a table right away. It is a perfect little mountain diner decorated with pictures for sale taken by a local photographer. Very cool way to display the artists photos. Country fried steak is also bomb, burger is great too. Pretty much all their breakfast is killer.

They quickly adjusted seating to fit our large party comfortably, which isn't easy. We really appreciated that. Unfortunately, the food experience was mixed and had some consistent issues that affected most people: * Several meals arrived lukewarm or cold, including a child's Mac-n-Cheese that was straight from the Kraft box and cold. Most of the table reported similar temperature problems. * Our nacho platter with pulled pork was a decent size with good toppings, but the cheese on top wasn't warm at all. The pulled pork was a bit light on portion and average in flavor (though the cheese underneath it was actually warm). * The side salad had some brown lettuce pieces that should have been removed. * The Firecracker Burger was good, but the fries tasted like fish -- likely from being fried in the same oil as the fish & chips. * The chicken panini was lukewarm and felt overpriced for the quality. Most menu items start at $17+, and the value doesn't seem to match the price point. On the positive side, both pizzas (pepperoni and cheese) were a hit with the younger kids -- they really enjoyed them. Edit - the kids said "the pizza dough wasn't really cooked but it was fine" We know running a restaurant is tough, especially with big groups, and the friendly service stood out. With some focus on food temperature, portion consistency, fryer separation, and price-to-value on certain items, Suds could be a much stronger spot. There aren't many restaurant options in the area, so we'd love to see them improve and come back next time we're in town. Thanks again to the team for their efforts.

I came in a week prior to my review, the experience was unlike any I've had in Utah so i wanted too…read morecome a second time and have a different server to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Let me start with the servers the first time in i was greeted promptly with a smile by Laken, my server. The atmosphere was cozy with defined areas. Everything was clean and and cared for right down to the bathrooms. i could tell ownership has a quirky sense of humor based on the merchandise they sell. As i waited for the meal i watched the two servers working diligently with a smile, they didn't miss a beat with being attentive to their patrons and all of the other aspects of their job. Honestly i watched too see if they could keep the same place throughout my time there they worked like a fine oiled machine. Without having to say a word to each other they knew what to do to help each other. I can't imagine this being an easy task.. The second time coming in, i really wanted to see if the excellence was a fluke, but to my delight it was the same great experience as the first time. Serenity, My server worked with the same diligence as the first time i watched her working and again without missing a beat of the friendly service as i had with Laken, the first time in. Now here's the kicker the service was so good, i asked to speak with a manager or owner, I was told there wasn't a manager or owner present. They were self monitoring, that blew me away, these young ladies working like they were on their own, it screams volumes for their work ethics and management. Now for the food, presentation was just like the menu pics. I apologize i failed to take pics as it was served so it is pics from the menu. The was good, the breakfast i had was cooked, in my opinion, perfectly. There breakfast sausage was different than any other I've had. I've been to a lot of places. I highly recommend this place even the locals were really friendly with conversation they made me laugh, one of the locals went out to his truck and brought this spoon guy to me. I live over an hour away but i will say well worth the drive mainly for the experience. Now if i have to say anything that i would like to see different it would be the fly traps. They aren't intrusive but i would maybe use an alternative. But I'm not a fly expert and it's not a deal breaker. This is my honest review, i don't know and have never met anyone from this establishment have never met any of the

They couldn't get a water or some a soda, or order an appetizer - just had to sit there outside on a bench until "the full party showed up." How effing rude. the place was at 10% occupancy when we arrived. The lodge style theme is nice. Lots of wood, trees, mountains (of course), and some peahens walking around outside. I did really like our server. He had a great demeanor and was attentive without hovering. Always kept the water topped off. The food was - fine. Probably the best of everything was the pita bread. We all liked that, from texture to freshness. Onion rings were slightly undercooked so the first bite kept wanted to pull out the entire onion. Smoked salmon on the spinach salad was really salty. The broth with the French dip was very bland and seemingly watered down, lacking that rich umami that makes an item like that great. The BLT with turkey was pretty good with that turkey add-on. Beer battered fries were good. The creamy chicken artichoke soup - no. Taking high vinegar canned artichokes and putting that into a dairy-based soup is not a good idea. The flavor had that "I'm starting to curdle" impact. It would be way better if they they took frozen artichoke hearts and added that so the cream, chicken, and earthiness of artichoke came together properly.
