    I heard great things about slackwater and I couldn't wait to try it for myself!! However my experience didn't quite live up to my expectations. If I could give a more detailed breakfast for my rating, I would say service 5/5, ambiance 5/5, but food 3/5. For starters, our waiter was so nice and accommodating. We were torn between the char tipped roasted pork chili verde nachos and the chips and guac, so we asked if we could get the nachos with a side of guac and he made it happen! The presentation looked great and the distribution of toppings was pretty even, but the flavor fell flat for me. I could definitely taste the chili verde, but even when you got a super loaded up chip the flavor was lacking. I found myself taking a couple of bites and not reaching back for more. The guacamole also tasted like store bought. The three pizzas we ordered were the Gyro Trip, the Cuban Crisis, and the Southern Comfort Redo. Overall, each pizza was okay. I was so excited for the fun flavors, but each pizza was underwhelming. The Southern Comfort was supposed to be a bbq chicken, but there were barely any pieces of chicken and the bbq sauce was bland. I also found the scoop of red cabbage falling very short of being called a coleslaw. It was more like straight up shredded cabbage. The Cuban Crisis was overpowered by the pickles and the ham didn't come through. Lastly, the Gyro had a good amount of lamb and the sauce had a good flavor, but the lamb didn't taste like anything. I will say the flavor profile of the Gyro had more layers as the feta and sauce paired well together. Overall, I liked the idea of each pizza, but I'm just not sure they were executed as well as they could have been. The dough and crust were so incredibly soft and pillow-like which made it all the more disappointing. I'm not sure if we made a mistake going for all novel flavors and skipping out of classic flavors, but I'm pretty sad about the flavors of pizza we ended up choosing. If I return, I think I'll stick with more classic flavors.

    Restaurant in a beautiful location with a view of the mountains. It is very busy and well lived by the local community. Our sandwiches homemade chops and salad were very good. Staff was very friendly and very helpful! Wonderful restaurant with a friendly hometown vibe.

    Spinach artichoke dip & Caprese Salad
    Lindsey K.

    LOVED Slackwater!! Excellent food, exciting flavors, and impeccable service! We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and the caprese salad to start and both were a HIT! We also had the California sunrise pizza as well as the hot wings and seriously loved it all! Everything down to the ranch has such great flavor. Such a fun spot with awesome outdoor seating! Highly recommend!

    We ordered the March speciality wings and they were super tiny. We were shocked! The garlic dough balls March special were okay but felt they needed something else. My pizza was flavorful and fresh.' Next time, I would add olives for more flavor! Not as good as my first visit.

    I stopped by Slackwater in Provo after work with my husband and had a fantastic experience. I got the Green Goddess pizza, which was honestly amazing. It's definitely a bit showy (they top each slice with avocado and a little pile of greens in the middle) but the flavor was fantastic. Huge shout-out to our server Shay for the recommendation and for being super helpful since it was our first time there. (I also tried one of their holiday cocktails, and it had really good flavor.) The venue overall can be quite loud as it's a kind of sports bar/ restaurant hybrid, but it was still enjoyable. The price was pretty on par with other non-fast-food pizza places in Utah. We paid about $53 for two pizzas, a cocktail, and another drink, roughly $25 a person. In short, I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back!

    The food is most important, and it was great. I'd definitely come back. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip, mulligatawny soup, Thai coco salad, from the earth pizza, and Sparta pizza. The Sparta pizza was the least enjoyable, but it was ordered without sausage due to an allergy so that could have been a factor. There was a long wait, but they didn't mention we could've ordered takeout, and I didn't think of it until we seated nearly an hour later. There were also outdoor tables not being used due to a chilly spring day, and we easily could've sat there. The service wasn't great. They were really busy, but the waitress forgot our request for no ice in our drinks and rarely checked on us. I also think it's odd to have the restaurant set up with wait stuff because as a pizza and sandwich place, I expected to go up to a counter, place my order, and take a number. I don't usually expect to tip for a place with this price point. It was also difficult to identify wait staff because there seemed to be no dress code to speak of. All our food came out at the same time, regardless of appetizer, soup, salad, or pizza. The ambience was also a mixed bag. I like what they've done decoration wise, but it was painfully dark, and the lights kept turning up and down for some reason as it got darker outside. The music was loud enough that it was difficult to talk. Overall, it felt more like a club atmosphere, and there are bars with brighter lighting. I'd come back but probably mostly for takeout.

    Chicken wings

    I love slackwater and was very excited to see them open up a location at the riverwoods. I like how they provide great food at a reasonable price. I came to celebrate a birthday and the staff was so kind and attentive. They even left me a hand written card signed by various staff members. I ordered the green goddess pizza as that has always been a favorite of mine and it did not disappoint. I also ordered the chicken wings and loved the flavor and crispy texture. I look forward to coming in again!

    Cobbweb salad
    Amber M.

    We stopped here on our way back to Oregon and it was delicious! We had a little of everything and everyone was happy. My salad was filling and full of goodness. The cheesy bread was perfect for sharing, the kids were happy with their items and my husband loved his wrap. The staff was all very friendly and attentive. I wish we had this place where we live!

    Susannah H.

    This place was popping! It was a week after opening when my bf and I went here. I tried the chicken Caesar salad wrap and it was delicious. My boyfriend got a salad and they forgot to bring out the chicken for which was an extra charge... I will definitely be back to try the pizza though as that's what they're known for! So glad there is a closer location I have been trying to go here for a while.

    Tastes like burning no pepperoni add chicken

    Ample parking available at the time we went. Short walk from the parking lot. Someone was already at the table when we got there. Our waiter was kind and fast. He was personable and gave good recommendations. I got a spicy pizza and it was amazing. Exactly at the level of spice I wanted. The weather was gorgeous and we were seated inside but the side next to us was exposed to an open wall so it was nice to get some fresh air.

    Buffalo chicken pizza, tastes like burning, and garlic balls.
    Mia D.

    Always super yummy, quick and efficient. My favorite is the buffalo chicken pizza. The service was great and fast. The vibe of the restaurant is fantastic, it's very laid back and unground vibes. 10/10 recommend!

    Top pizza is Iron horse 10/10 will be my go to.  Bottom is Italian Job. Love the sauce, super flavorful!

I made sure to confirm this substitution was available before placing my order. After drinking it, I became concerned that my substitution had not been applied, so I tried to contact the store. It took multiple calls to reach a manager, but once I did, they acknowledged that a new employee had likely made a mistake and apologized. Although it was difficult to get in touch with someone, I appreciate their willingness to hear my concerns and their attempts to rectify the situation. When I returned to the store for the agreed-upon refund, however, the experience became frustrating. The manager, Aubrey, initially attempted to refund me for a less expensive drink and seemed unwilling to believe me when I explained what I had paid. I clarified that I was not seeking reimbursement for the tip, only the agreed-upon refund for my purchase. Her tone felt irritated and dismissive throughout the interaction. Fortunately, I still had my receipt with me and was able to verify the correct amount. Mistakes happen, and I appreciate that the store acknowledged the possibility of an error. What disappointed me most was how the refund was handled. I left feeling that my concerns were met with skepticism rather than understanding. Additionally, on a completely separate side note, while I was there, I noticed a customer had a dog inside the café. When I first visited with my friend, we had her dog with us and we were told dogs were only welcome on the patio because they had an open kitchen. So it was unexpected to see this dog inside and drinking from a reusable customer water cup provided by Peace on Earth. The inconsistency in enforcing store policies was surprising. I hope the business uses this as an opportunity to improve employee training and customer service.

We had our IDs scanned and briefly used the restroom before heading to a table had to piss and wash our hands. A few minutes later, the staff abruptly told us we would not be served and had to leave without explanation. We sat there confused and were threatened with police involvement. Only after pressing for an answer were we told it was "suspicious" that we went straight to the restroom and were "touching our noses," implying drug use. It was 34 degrees outside we had just walked over, our noses were running, and one of us blew his nose. That was the entire "evidence." We were the only customers in the establishment, were polite, sober, and never given a chance to order food or drinks. Instead, we were followed, accused, and escorted out into the cold. Based on the way we were treated and consistent with other reviews about this place we feel we were racially discriminated. Both staff members involved were white; all three of us are Latin American U.S. citizens. For context, we are working professionals: I run a consulting agency, my friend manages business developers for a major company in Salt Lake City, and my brother-in-law is a registered nurse who supervises and trains other nurses. We came in to eat and talk, not to be accused of criminal behavior. Management should seriously review the conduct and judgment of the staff working that night. This experience was inappropriate, humiliating, and unacceptable.
