    Full on a Sunday (glad they're open), but we didn't wait long to be seated. The food was a bit of a…read morewait. Wait staff was friendly but a little hard to hear since it's definitely got a diner vibe and it's pretty noisy. The Spanish omelette was a little smaller than I expected and a little dry. It needed Spanish sauce and cheese on the top, definitely. We got some green salsa to add. The breakfast sandwich was good. I expected the ciabatta roll to be a little more dense, as ciabattas normally are. It was more like a roll, but fresh! I think it comes from the Oakley bakery on the lower level. Definite diner vibe, as I said, but the floor was pretty dirty. Needed to be swept and mopped. When you're waiting for the hostess to check for a clean table, you're standing by the first seated table. A little awkward. All-in-all we'd probably go back. We like the drive up from Layton, and beggars can't be choosers on Sundays!

Service was fast and friendly and they love to answer all your questions and can deal with food allergy requests. I had the patty melt and I have to be honest. It was one of the freshest ones I have ever had! Full of flavor, didn't run "meat juice" all over the place. So, if you want to take a quick trip out of SLC. Head on up here. While you are up this way go the local antiques store and ballerina farms.

    At the risk of sounding like everyone else (eg "I've driven by a hundred times, finally decided to…read morestop in, wish I had tried it years ago, and so on") I have to report that, um... I have driven by at least a hundred times and finally decided to stop in on a solo trip the other day. Make no mistake, this is a roadhouse pub. The stickers all over the door, the fact that you walk right into the pool table section, and the roadhouse vibe of the decor and several tables along with the big bar. It's not fancy, it's also not decorated to intentionally look like a roadhouse that's not fancy. It's just exactly what it is. It was a lovely summer day so I sat outside. They have a back patio and I did notice that they have a brand new rooftop/deck. The server told me that they only open the deck on the weekends, usually Thursday thru Sunday, when they have enough demand for it. I got the GOAT burger with onion rings. At $19 for the burger and $2 charge for the rings, they're not exactly giving it away. But you're in beef country up here in Kamas (Samak, technically) where the cattle roam up the highway, so you cannot show up with Sysco patties. Nope, these re real beef, really hand-formed, and really fresh. The beef really sings and speaks for itself, but the addition of fresh cut chiles and smooth goat cheese was a really unexpected pleasure. The onion rings were crispy and it all disappeared in a post-hike haze. The service was super friendly. I was a little worried all this time that it was a locals-only type watering hole but they were plenty welcoming to me. I can't say how the drinks or bartender were since that's not my scene, but everything was super quick and hospitable, though I was there at a very not busy in between meals time. It may be that this place sits between two worlds of tourists and locals. I don't think the local scene can support this, as the surrounding population is sparse. It's certainly not going to buy that new deck. But it's also not some tourist trap. It sits in the middle; the food is too good (and priced) for a larger audience, but the day to day probably sees plenty of locals as well as MLH drivers popping in.

They were out of French fries so my hamburger was served with cold mashed potatoes. I asked for well done and it was not even cooked much. I couldn't eat it, but I tried, thinking this is going to give me an upset stomach... and by that time my waitress was AOL. I waited half an hour, eating my mashed potatoes. Finally I waived down another waitress. She was also very nice. I showed her my hamburger and explained that I thought I had been forgotten. I was so hungry as I hadn't had breakfast and I really tried to eat it. Chewing carefully around the edges. But each bite was too close to the red meat. Everything was cold by now and I was disheartened. It is hard to go out to eat alone and to have a bad experience is even worse. She offered to recook it. But by then I wasn't feeling any appitite. I don't know what happened to my first waitress, I never saw her again. So I told the second waitress, no thank you, but I did enjoy the ice tea and water, and the friendly workers. I was not asked to pay but I would rather have paid and had something good to eat. Food lifts the spirits! I think the big problem is the cook, perhaps the waitress forgot to tell the to cook it well done. It wasn't even hot, just there, no freshness to anything on the plate, and the hamburger falling flat, spread out and not together anymore and the bun wrinkled and cold. So therefore the 4 star rating as the people were so nice, the place had possibilities. Perhaps the firemen nearby got more attention and some satisfying food It will be a long time before I go out again. Sorry Kamas. a disappointed resident of 47 years locally.

    I'm going to start with the biggest factor in a so-so review: The prices…read more Finding the restaurant on Yelp, I noticed that, in addition to the positive reviews, the prices seemed reasonable. They were not; they were actually 50% or more higher at the restaurant. The hamburger that was showing on Yelp for $15 was actually $22. The Steak Frites advertised for $22 were $35. I understand inflation, but this was a gross enough difference that it borders on deception, in my opinion. I also had a bad experience with my food: I ordered a cup of their chili (which they claim is made from scratch, on-site) and it was brought to the table cold. Like, "right out of a can" cold. Kelsi, our fantastic server, returned it to the kitchen where (I presume) they nuked it and brought it back. It was heated, but not very tasty. Flat; under-seasoned; mushy textured. Definitely something I'd never order again. Many reviews say the atmosphere is "loud" but what they mean is, it's "LOUD". We were seated inside, and it was nearly impossible for the three of us to converse. The acoustics are not great. Enough cons; how about some pros? My burger was FANTASTIC! piled high with caramelized onions and pastrami, but beef patty tasted like it'd just come off a charcoal grill. Terrific flavor in every bite. (The parmesan fries were tasty, too, but a little on the soggy side.) My dining partners each had a salad (one 'wedge' and one 'beetroot') and both were well-prepared and generously portioned. And, finally, the staff, the location, the vibe: All really first-rate. I'll probably come back, if I ever recover from the bait'n'switch sticker shock. (But I'll steer clear of the chili and opt to dine on the patio, if that's available!)
