    Had this beer at another establishment while visiting Park City, so when spending time in Salt Lake City decided to check out the Proper Brewing. We checked it out on a Monday afternoon so it was a great place to chill. Mondays they have free pool, so that was a fun surprise in showing up there and kept us there for a few hours. Also tried the Shorty's, was a great beer as well. The bartender working was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions on the beers while offering up his favorites too. Would definitely come back to hang out when in Sat Lake City!

    The burgers are always delicious. The bun is fresh and burger fixings are tasty! I love the zucchini pickles and appreciate the healthy portions. The fries are fresh. A large portion can be shared by two people. There is a great selection of craft beers and cocktails. Service is great. Staff is friendly and laid back, while being attentive. Proper Brewing, which is next door to Proper Burger, is a great place to hangout. They have sports playing on a large screen on the wall, there are plenty of retro games for those that want to hang around for awhile. Will be back!

    This is a pretty popular brewery, where most people grab a burger from the sister business proper burger next door. There are some arcade games and pool tables. They will definitely fun out of seats on a busy night but the atmosphere is fairly relaxed. I was able to stop in and try a number of samplers and get a few pints. Overall the beers were good. They definitely have a large number of ipas and hoppy beers. I didn't love the balance on their sours, but because the beer rotate through, they might be better the next time I visit. The staff was very pleasant and made some good recommendations for what to try next.

    Such good beers at Proper Brewing! Extra bonus points go to this brewery as it is open later than a lot of the other ones in the city and this is a city that rolls the sidewalks up early for a urban area of it's size. I got a lovely wheat beer here which I was very impressed with and the atmosphere is cool too. Kind of a lot going on at this location. One part of it serves burgers and another part is a merchandise shop. Parts of it seems to close earlier than other areas. The taproom looks like it's the last to close. Good place to stop and especially so if you touring SLC breweries.

    Go Jazz!

    It's a fun atmosphere! Plenty of seating and good beer. We came during covid and all the games were shut down. Now that covid is pretty much over, the games are back on! There's skee ball, arcade games, pinball machines, pool table, and shuffle board. All the games are free or affordable so it's a cheap and easy date night plan. Depending on which beer you order, it can get pricy. I like IPAs and they are obviously more expensive than the regular stuff. They didn't have the hopspital which was my preference so I went with something else.

    Stopped in after a long flight. Was a little confusing. If you want food you have to order next door and they will bring the food over. Hopefully there's not a long line to order food and then hopefully you don't have to wait to order drinks. We didn't have such luck. We were told we couldn't open our can of water while the rest of the group was ordering (food ) and had to open next door. That was confusing and explain LaCroix is a sparkling water only, they still said no. Ok back over the the brewery again to order. Drinks were mehhh nothing crazy. Had some fun games we played. Music was not to loud, which was good since it made you feel like you were in s weird 90 's video game. I order the Utah Johnny burger which was good, large basket of fries again good. Overall I think I would pass on this place if you're looking up places in SLC.

    Really great ambiance. Solid choice to just kick back and try some creative brews. Slow day so service was great. Friendly staff, worth a stop!

I'm not exaggerating when I say I DREAMED about this burger for TWO nights afterward. TWO. NIGHTS. I still don't know what kind of wizardry they're using back there. Grass-fed beef? Secret family recipe? Actual unicorn meat? Whatever it was, this burger transcended normal human food. It was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and spiritually life-changing. Now let's be honest, the building itself isn't fancy. It looks like somebody converted a house into a burger joint and just rolled with it. But the second that food hits the table, none of that matters anymore. The fresh hand-cut fries were absolutely insane too...crispy, hot, and clearly made by people who care deeply about potatoes. Eating at The Paddy Shack wasn't just a meal, it was a tour of the cosmos. If NASA ever needs proof intelligent life exists, they should start with this burger. 10/10. I would absolutely fly back to Utah just for another bite....as a matter of fact, I'll be back there next week!!

    Not being from SLC, I went to Just Burgers based on the glowing reviews of others. Located on the…read moretop floor of the sprawling Harmon's marketplace, covered parking was free and convenient, especially for the bustling metro downtown area. Going in, I was impressed by the story being told, with burgers that seemed to be top quality, made with a combination of Snake River Farms and ground chuck. The fries were lightly fried once in beef tallow, and then fried again when you order them, similar to Belgian style. Everything sounded like they were super thoughtful so I was looking forward to greatness. What I ended up with was, well, "good". This is of course, a bit subjective I guess but while the burger was decent and had a nice bit of pink inside, (also, shout out for the bun they used which was absolutely perfect to be honest), it tasted a bit dense and preformed, so biting into it gave you a bit of a "quarter pounder" taste instead of being super juicy and loose consistency, if that makes sense? The fries were fresh and tasty but perhaps a bit more limp and oily than I would have preferred, as if the oil temp was a bit low? Still, I'm nitpicking because it was still really good but if you're reading between the lines of my review, I think I was expecting something exceptional that you would want to drive out of your way for given the obvious attention to quality that they strive for, and ultimately realized that Just Burgers was, ummm, Just Fine.
