    Iron man pizza
    Erika C.

    Food - was very tasty . Service - was fast . Ambiance - loving seating outside on patio .

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I cannot say enough good things about the Riverwoods Slackwater, the staff is incredible, the food is amazing, the beer selection is unmatched. Slackwater has easily become our favorite restaurant and I recommend it to everyone!

    Chicken wings
    Nathan F.

    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.

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

    Pizza was amazing! Really enjoyed the cheesy bread 10/10. Will be going back! We got the Italian Job, cardiac arrest, and iron horse. Iron horse was the best omfg

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.

Today was my birthday. My friends and I had been planning my birthday dinner at BWWs for well over a week at this point. We finally make it to the big day. By this time my friends and I had been salivating just thinking about those buy one get one free boneless wings from B-Dubs. So we enter the restaurant, expecting maybe a 10-15 wait, as is typical at most restaurants. To our great surprise, the place is practically empty! We see at least 15 empty tables. Perfect for our party of three! We go up to the hostess, expecting to be seated immediately. To our utter disbelief, the hostess informs us it would be an hour and a half before we could get a table. One. And. A. Half. Hours. Pardon? We must have heard wrong. No. The hostess repeats it would be 90 minutes before we could be seated. We look to the hostess. Then to the sea of empty tables. Then back to the hostess. Surely this is some kind of practical joke. To our stomachs dismay, this was no practical joke. We turned and left. Safe to say that will be the last time I visit this Buffalo Wild Wings location. This Buffalo Wild Wings must be allergic to making money and delivering good service.

When we arrived and sat down, we were greeted by Joe telling us that "House rules, you're not allowed to order the same item". Lol. Love that guy! We both ordered Denver omelets, one without onions,extra mushrooms, French toast, and grits and one without mushrooms, hash browns, and pancakes. First off, the pancakes were amazing! They're light, had crispy edges, and had a wonderful flavor. But the best thing was it was in the shape of little donuts, which was a nice surprise. Our entrees came but were somehow got switched. We didn't realize it at first but both were still good. Unfortunately, my wife put Chalula on hers and I put Tobasco on mine and we don't like each other's choice of condiments. The other unfortunate thing was that I had an eggshell in my omelet. Even though we had these misfortunes you can't hide the flavor of these dishes and they certainly don't skimp on toppings. My grits were too sweet today. If it's too sweet for me, it must've been really sweet. The only other criticism I saw was that they were filling the syrup bottles from large Log Cabin jugs. They also were using Idahoan shredded potatoes from a large carton. I can understand the potatoes but how great would it be to have freshly made syrup. Still a great experience and they are still one of the best breakfast places on the state.
