We waited ten minutes in line to order, but that wasn't enough to warn us and it really didn't seem so bad. No warnings from employees were given to us about how long this would take. As we left the register towards the seating area, I counted 7 unbussed tables- we were forced to sit at the only table without either ample trash or people. I only saw two employees, neither of whom moved with any urgency- more of a lazy afternoon pace. The table of teenagers next to us exclaimed to one of them, "What is going on in the kitchen back there?!" Don't get me wrong, everyone was kind, just...not at all service-oriented towards a very hungry crowd. I did finally see some tables "bussed," but they were not wiped down or disinfected in any way. Which doesn't give me hope for the cleanliness of the rest of the place. At minute 45 of waiting, my husband went to ask what is going on, but had to wait in a line to do so. At one hour, we finally got to the register and said, "If you haven't even started our food yet, we'd love a refund." We got a refund. Hallelujah. They were kind about that But that also means we had waited for our food for an entire hour and they still hadn't even started it or come out to explain- nothing. Not even an apology. What we did get was a quiet resignation. We felt really bad for the girl working the register. I rated the food 3 stars bc I know it's good in Ohio, but we didn't actually ever get any served to us. But the worst part is knowing a place I love from Ohio is failing me. An hour and a half (30 min round trip and an hour of waiting) of my life I'll never get back.

3 Stars - Good Pho, but Cleanliness and Service Were Major Problems…read more You and I Kitchen - Sandy 8528 S 1300 E Sandy, UT 84048 Visited: August 13, 2026 I decided to give You and I Kitchen a try because I believe its Yelp rating was over four stars, which, after my visit, I find pretty hard to believe. I ordered the Rib Eye Steak Pho ($15.45), which was essentially a rare beef pho, and that was definitely the highlight of the meal. If I were rating the restaurant strictly on the pho, I would probably give it four stars. The broth was flavorful, the beef was good, and overall I enjoyed it. Unfortunately, just about everything else brought the experience down considerably. The biggest problems were the lack of cleanliness and the almost completely absent service. No one voluntarily came back to my table to check on me during my entire meal. Anytime I needed something, I literally had to get up, walk toward the back of the restaurant, find someone, and ask them to come out. I had to do this for water, my iced coffee, and even some extra green onions. That's simply not acceptable table service. I also ordered the fried pot stickers, 5 pieces ($7.95). They were okay, but there was really nothing special or memorable about them. The Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk ($5.95) was also disappointing. It tasted watered down and lacked the strong, rich coffee flavor I normally expect from Vietnamese iced coffee. My food subtotal was $29.35, plus an $0.88 credit-card surcharge and $2.58 tax, bringing the total to $32.81 before tip. I was actually leaning toward 2 1/2 stars, but the pho was good enough to pull the overall rating up to three. Even so, between the cleanliness issues, nonexistent attention from the staff, mediocre pot stickers, and weak iced coffee, this was a pretty disappointing visit. I doubt I would return, but if I did, it would probably only be for the pho--and I would go in with very low expectations when it comes to service and cleanliness.

Delicious!

Nothing overly complicated here--just fresh ingredients, tasty sandwiches, friendly service, and reasonable prices. A solid neighborhood deli and a convenient lunch spot if you're staying in the Cottonwood Heights area. I would definitely return on a future visit to Salt Lake City.

While you're doing that, pay attention to the pricing, because it can add it. To see the plain butter croissants empty already was shocking, but when we told the employee she came back to not only stock it but came to us first and let us pick which ones we wanted off the tray That was very nice The pain du chocolat looked good and were lacking in depth and flakiness of the crunch The Chausson aux Pommes - was really good - They could have used another minute or two in the oven to get that golden brown. They were looking like the pastly white guy at the beach while everyone else had a tan The mochi Dubai Chocolate donut was very good. The total was almost fifty bucks.... I told my wife that we could have about 40 croissants for that price if we were in Paris. C'est la vie! Look for a chain - Its pretty good. I didn't try the coffee but if they ever show up in Boise metro area, I would check them out to see if they match up with SLC.

A very busy dining area.

While Locals Bristol offers a diverse menu with delicious options, the prices are on the higher side, making it a bit expensive for what you get. Additionally, the serving sizes are overly generous, which can lead to a lot of waste or feeling overwhelmed by the portions.

I didn't try the gyro burger because it was very raw on the inside. It was lamb and wagyu but I prefer my burger meats to be cooked all the way through. My friends said it was sweet and it's probably because they glazed the bun. The fat bastard oysters were too big for my liking. There's also gelato on top which was weird because it made the oyster taste like it was partially frozen. I don't recommend this. The rolls tasted like biscuits. It was crumbly and it wasn't expected for a nice restaurant. The heirloom tomato pastry was my favorite dish of the night. The half sashimi trout was more like a stew in sweet sauce. The baby yellow potatoes were just added without any seasonings. Assuming it should soak in the sweet juices? I didn't care for it. Trout was good, but preferred that the skin was crispy, which was extremely soggy, drowned in the sauce. Server asked if I wanted bread to drink the sauce and sure. Why not. It may taste better with regular bread and it wasn't. You can also skip valet parking if you just walk an extra minute down the parking lot. I forgot what one of the desserts name but it was the one with butter cake. This was extremely sweet too with the gooey caramel sauce. The donut was ridiculously expensive at $16 with a little honeycomb decoration. Nothing special with the desserts. Overall, everything is sweet here. Their menu is a lot and I feel like the burger menu can be a little too much and trying too hard to be fancy.
