    We visited Ruca's for lunch and found the sandwiches just okay--nothing special. However, I highly recommend coming for breakfast and trying their Aebleskivers. That's where Ruca's really shines!

    Oh Let's E.

    Ruca's is such a cute little place. They are very busy so The service is very slow. We ordered 4 drinks white chocolate mocha, caramel macchiato, iced coffee and a piña colada shake. The coffees are watered down brown water. The " breakfast " is not that good either. We ordered the big breakfast, mom breakfast and avocado toast. It was mediocre at best. The best thing on the menu was the Æbelskivers! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    Peaches 'n cream aebleskivers and a lemonade
    Amber S.

    Came for the Aebleskivers and they did not disappoint! I got the Peaches 'n Cream and it was soooo delicious. Generous portion of fluffy goodness and drizzled with a good amount of peaches and cream. We also ordered the Red, White, and Blue; and the Nutella one; both were devoured quickly. We also ordered a couple sandwiches to split. I got the Grilled Turkey Pesto, sooo yummy! Also the cute blonde that took our order was sooo sweet and helpful, I wish I would have caught her name to give her a true shout out. The outdoor seating was great and perfectly shaded. And the cute little shop was great to look around while we waited for our food. We are only visiting, but if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back!

    This place is perfect. I love ebelskivers so much and grew up eating them on special occasions. This place is cute and has lots of seating outside and the service is fast and the food is fresh. The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant a drove 2 hours just to have these on a Saturday morning because this place is so good. Everything is delicious and I don't think you can go wrong I've now tried all the breakfast options. I do lean towards the Nutella and strawberries because I love that combo. The ebelskivers are fluffy and big and way bigger than the ones you might have had in Amsterdam. Very filling and I can't wait to come back!

    Red, white, and blue

    The æbelskivers were soooo good! We got the nutty bliss and the red, white, and blue. You can't go wrong with either, they do take a bit of time to make but they're made fresh and are worth the wait. I also got a chai here that I didn't like too much but the food was A+

    Avocado Toast (with no tomatoes)
    Kristin L.

    This place was nice! Quick service and a cool outdoor environment. We came for breakfast and my husband got the parfait and thoroughly enjoyed it! His favorite part were the larger chunks of granola and the freshness of the fruit. He wished there was more granola though. Overall, he'd give it an 8.5/10. I ordered the avocado toast without the tomatoes (not an heirloom fan). Everything was good, but I think it desperately needed salt / pepper or some sort of light seasoning. The balsamic glaze was great, but the blandness of the unseasoned egg and avocado was a little overwhelming. I also ordered a hot white chocolate mocha, and it was super sweet and very delicious. Definitely worth a try if you like sweeter drinks. We were satisfied with our breakfast, and the next time we're up in Garden City, we'll definitely try this place out for lunch!

    Caprese Sandwich with Chicken Caesar Salad

    This is a cute little hole in the wall sandwich shop and the sandwiches did not disappoint and really hit the spot. Service was quick and supper friendly. I definitely recommend!

    Raspberry and Red White and Blue Aebelskivers

    Their Aebelskivers were really good. Fun place to get breakfast. Kids loved them. We will definitely be back!

    Æbelskivers - Nutella, Strawberries and fresh whipped cream.
    Thommy C.

    Ruca's! .... I think we are off to the start of a wonderful friendship. We have a place in Bear Lake and are you there often. We have just now given them a try. Waited far too long!!!! Foolish. LOL We stopped by last Saturday to give them a try. It was fantastic. Of course I had to try their Æbelskivers (danish pancake balls). It might sound boring... but I like to stick close to the basics for my toppings - butter and maple syrup. So...for me, no strawberries, no Nutella, no whip cream. (Which the Mrs. absolutely loved! And admittedly, it looked amazing). They have a bunch of patio tables with umbrellas and great music playing. The views and surrounding are beautiful and exactly what one would seek on a Saturday morning, while relaxing at Bear Lake. The staff is friendly and take the time to make sure the presentation of what you order is top notch. If you happen to find yourself in Garden City and looking for a great place to have breakfast or a quick afternoon/evening bite... be sure to give them a try!! You will enjoy the visit. I am definitely looking forward to our next visit!

Zipz is located in the downtown area of garden city next to labeaus and basically every other restaurant. We ordered a raspberry Oreo shake, chicken strips, fries, onions rings and the bacon cheeseburger. The shake came out quickly and the food was quick to follow as well. They have a variety of sauces available that you can help yourself too. While it was busy the food does move fast so we had no issues grabbing a table. The shake was good, the chicken strips were huge, the fries and onion rings were delicious and the bacon burger was great. We went to La beaus the following day to compare and all agreed we would choose zipz over La beaus! 1000% worth a visit for food and shakes!

Opening a business, especially in a small town with unpredictable customer flow is no easy feat and I truly applaud them for bringing a high-class feel to Garden City. My favorite side was the Street Corn. It's about as close to authentic elotes as I've found in Utah (iykyk) and I devoured it. The potato salad and macaroni salad were pretty average but the cookies were a standout. I tried the snickerdoodle and the chocolate cookie topped with vanilla icing and raspberry purée. These were easily my favorite cookies I've had in a long time. Their lemonade varieties are fresh and flavorful. I had the peach with coconut and sipped it happily all day. My family members who ordered meat said it was absolutely delicious. We sat on the beautifully decorated patio with incredibly comfortable chair. It honestly felt like lounging at a very welcoming and wealthy relative's home. I loved it! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot! Just be sure to arrive earlier in the day, as they do sell out (a great problem for them to have).

I had a few special requests due to me sharing my burger with my dog and they did not disappoint. The shake was really good. Blended well. I had raspberry and Oreo cookie. It would've been nice to taste a little more raspberry in the shake. They pride themselves on using fresh raspberries and that is the reason. Fresh fruit mixed with dairy tampons the tartness and dulls a lot of the sweetness.. I believe macerating some raspberries and sugar and finishing with some fresh lemon zest or even a little lemon juice and adding that to the fresh raspberries would knock it out of the park. I put it on the floorboard so my dog wouldn't get at it and accidentally knocked it over. It was so thick that only the huge amount that sticks out of the cup touched the floor mat. Awesome!!!!!!! I got the biggest burger they had. A half pound with two kinds of cheese and pastrami burger. It wasn't called a pastrami burger so I'm not gonna complain that it's just one thick slice. It was more like how you would add bacon to a burger. All the veggies were super fresh. Their choice of bun is the best bun I've had since my road trip began a week ago. Here's my opinion on the burger. The burger had no beef flavor. The only flavor came from the wonderful charcoal grill marks on the burger. Don't be afraid of salt. It's a chef's favorite condiment. The biggest complaint and my only true complaint is that the burgers have a horrible texture to them. Like two quarter pounds of beef breakfast sausage. Not good. If somehow it is how ground I'd recommend using a smaller die and leaving out the transglutaminase. Dog loved it. Would I come again? I sure would. Mos Def
