Shrimp and Grits
Julianne L.

I've been here many times and have enjoyed every dinner I've eaten here! The staff are warm and friendly, Chef Julius frequently comes by to say hello to guests, and it's a great place to have a massive meal and relax. I love that you start off with the pork rinds and sauce at the beginning, and I always order the house red drink (free refills!). I've had the chicken fried chicken, catfish, and shrimp and grits as mains; and different combinations of the collard greens, candied yams, and golden splendor as sides. Whatever you order, the flavors and textures shine, and the portions are HUMONGOUS. The food is a great value and so, so delicious. You'll leave feeling full, with a second meal, and with the desire to come back again tomorrow.

Sweet Potato Pie Cheesecake.  I loved it
Erin J.

I really enjoyed this place. Not too expensive ($55 for two, including dessert). The shrimp sandwich was great (a bit skimpy on the sauce so I asked for a side of it; very tasty) and the grits were great. I loved the cornbread. It was so sweet. Mac and cheese was awesome. We were intrigued by the sweet potato cheesecake so we got it and I have to say, it worked. It almost tasted like candy corn candy. I really liked it a lot. Service was good too. I'd for sure go back again.

Fried Chicken, collard greens and corn.

Turned out to be one of the best meals I've had in some time. Seven of us went to sauce, boss they accommodated us quickly and had great service! Each of us ate something different on the menu. Everything is prepared fresh. The fried green tomatoes were delicious, hot and perfectly cooked. The fried chicken was moist and savory, the catfish fresh and tender, not frozen. And the pork chop too delicious. I honestly wish the sides came out family style because they are so good. I would've liked to have tried them all. I definitely plan on going back!!!! I have to go back! I didn't have room to eat dessert this go around. The dining room was nice and clean, with a quaint style.

Business trip win. I appreciate the locals sharing their favorite eateries when I visit a region for the first time. I was looking for great Southern home cooking, and this restaurant hit the mark. The food was flavorful and plentiful. I appreciate the excellent service and inviting space. The owner came out and introduced himself. BONUS.....

Fried Chicken
Kat L.

Went to an amazing dinner here with a large party (20+) and we had the chicharons, bacon fries, and blackened chicken wings to share. We loved all of these! The fries were a hit. I loved the wings! I shared the blackened pork chops and fried chicken. Each entree comes with two sides and cornbread, and I chose the spiced corn and mashed potatoes. Loved everything about my entree! I'd definitely come back if in the area. Service was great too and although it was a casual spot, the servers were very friendly and able to accommodate our large party being split up across multiple tables near each other. Tip: ask for a side of the soul sauce; it's amazing!

Shrimp and grits with Black Eyed Peas

Sauce Boss brings so much flavor and is just hands down delicious. Haven't had anything not good, but especially love the fried chicken and the fried green tomatoes. The Mac and cheese (golden splendor) is one of the better ones I've had. So glad we have them here!!

Jeff G.

I didn't expect to find good soul food in Draper but here we are! Let's keep this restaurant around! I got the Mac and cheese and grits and both were very good, particularly the Mac. The cornbread was soft, spongey, and sweet. I only gave it four stars because while I enjoyed my blackened pork chops, they didn't blow me away. That said, my friend was raving about his fried chicken. Finally, the helpings were large - we were both stuffed and had leftovers. The service was amazing, the owner and chef stopped by and chatted with us for a bit, super nice guy. You can tell he puts a lot of passion, love, and skill into his food. I will definitely be coming back!

Christine S.

I saw sauce boss on tv and came to Utah for my son's soccer tournament so I had to come try it. Service was great. Portions were generous. Great atmosphere. Food was amazing. Chef Julius came out to greet and check on us himself. He was very genuine and kind. Would definitely recommend making a trip here.

Blackened Pork Chop
Katie M.

Cute spot with authentic southern home cooking! Parking is limited and the dining room is tiny, be prepared for a wait. I believe it's just one person in the kitchen as well so make sure you're ok to wait a little bit for food too. Once you do get served it's heavenly! Large portions, well seasoned, fresh! Anything you order will be delicious! If you have a chance to visit, go asap!

Valarie C.

My goodness. This place has some of the best Southern comfort food I can remember. My boyfriend and I took his sister and her family here a couple of nights ago and it was a hit. The service was wonderful, the ambiance is simple and warm with the primary focus of this place being the food. Try everything! My personal favorites are the fried green tomatoes and the fried chicken with candied yams and fries. This place fills up VERY quickly though so make sure you get here when they open for a table, otherwise it's usually an hour + long wait (worth it though ;) ). They do take reservations but only for parties 6+ I believe!

Fried Pork Chops with Collard Greens and Mac and cheese
Nancy M.

Very friendly service and a well maintained space. The dining area is comfortable and the tables aren't crammed in so you do have a little elbow room which is nice. Complimentary pork rinds are given to each table and they were good. The food itself was good but I was sorely disappointed that the bowl of greens I ordered was really just a bowl of stems. The pork chops were flavored well and they were a nice size and the cornbread was also tasty.

Annie H.

We drove over an hour to try their shrimp and grits, but they were out of shrimp. It wasn't quite the same with chicken strips. We enjoyed all our sides though, of eat that cornbread every day. I'd like to try again if I'm in the area and they have shrimp available.

Fried chicken, cornbread, Black Eyed Peas, golden splendor.
Robin T.

This restaurant is consistently tasty! They offer down home southern fare in a casual atmosphere with good service. You'll always find southern staples like fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, fried chicken, Mac & cheese (called Golden Splendor here), collard greens, black eyed peas, and cornbread among many others. Dinner always starts with a complimentary basket of pork rinds. The restaurant's and chef's origin story on the back of the menu is compelling. You'll never go wrong on a visit to The Sauce Boss!

Today I had the privilege of experiencing Cutiepies for the first time and it did not disappoint!…read more Let me start off with the email interaction I've had with Marc, who is the founder of this company. He came right out and walked my order to my car and was so pleasant and personable. He shared with me his family's story about how these bite sized, individual pies came to be, and how him and his family take great pride in these pies and the family recipe. I sampled all their flavors and they were pretty fantastic. The lemon merengue was an instant favorite - the lemon had a punch full of flavor but not overpowering at all. The fruit tart was just a great balance of fruit flavor with the custard. The heavenly chocolate with Andes mints is a fantastic one to try as it's a seasonal one, but perfect for the holiday season. The coconut cream was an instant hit with just the right amount of sweetness. And the crust - wow, it's spot on that compliments every flavor of these bite sized little heavens-in-your-mouth. Overall, these miniature pies are the way to go for wanting a taste of every flavor of pie - without having to have a slice of a regular sized pie. Plus, in my opinion, it's more fun to eat, share with someone, or just to be able to give yourself a treat anytime.

We've loved everything we've ordered from Cutie Pie Tarts. In the order of love: Berries and cream,…read morelemon meringue, chocolate cream with butterfinger, pumpkin, chocolate cream with mint, and coconut cream.

The cookie was the yummiest thing but I was pretty disappointed when she handed it to me and I realized it was cold. Why am I spending $5+ on a cold semi-hard, medium sized cookie? The ice cream was the worst though, it was like 1% raspberry and 99% super strong coconut flavor. The service was fine except the girl working there was just hiding in the back until she heard us come in and then she retreated to the back again after we ordered. Sorry to say that overall it was pretty disappointing.

I really wanted to love my cookies at Crave, and I visited twice over the last couple of months to give them a try. They're good cookies, but not the best. Both times I visited, the store was absolutely empty. They change their cookie menu weekly, and this week's menu was very appealing. One thing I noted is that every one of their cookies with the exception of the classic chocolate chip was stuffed with some sort of mass-produced sweet. Peanut butter cookies were stuffed with Reeses style cups, the Chocolate cookie was stuffed with what tasted like storebought cheesecake, the Samoa cookie was literally topped with a Girl Scout Cookie, and the Scotcheroo was filled with a Rice Krispie Treat. This made all of the cookies taste far from homemade. They were SO sweet that I barely could eat a few bites. I love sweets, but the fake flavors were just gross. The worst cookie of the bunch was a Strawberry cookie. It had a sour tasting strawberry cream topping that was day-glo pink! Extremely unappetizing. It was topped with a thick whipped cream that made the entire thing soggy and unappealing. I have never thrown out a cookie before, but it was really, really gross. Into the garbage it went. The best cookie was the traditional chocolate chip, and I would've loved the Oreo cookie if it hadn't had the yucky, gummy cheesecake inside. The cookies were slightly underdone and reminded me so much of Gideon's Bakehouse in Orlando, that same sort of yummy, sugary, raw dough texture. I gave Crave two chances and I was less than impressed on both of my visits. The employees were so nice and friendly, but they selected my cookies out of a warming tray. I didn't smell any fresh baked cookies and no baking was going on, just already made cookies sitting there getting dried out. They were served to me warm, however. There are much better cookies out there, and I just prefer all-natural ingredients or at least freshly baked cookies.
