Gyro pizza
Zack S.

The overall experience here was great. While we waited for our table we when to the bar to have a drink. The girl in the band shirt was very personable and helpful for helping us find the beer flavor/texture of choice. She hit the recommendations spot on. The wait for our table was pretty accurate. When we got to our table , our server was pretty prompt. She didn't have much of a personality but she didn't skip a beat to take care of us. My only complaint is i ordered a side salad with ranch and Italian on the side and it came with ranch and Cesar. I was also up charged for the second dressing and didn't know that would happen. I was 3/4 done with my salad by the time I saw her so I never got the proper dressing. Overall the experience was great and food was delicious. The ambience was peaceful and clean, so were the bathrooms. If I'm back in the area I'd return.

Slackwater is a solid spot! I stop here frequently for work lunches, and the pizza and wings are always great. It's become a go to when I'm looking for a good lunch to take some people to. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

Italian Job Pizza
Michael L.

Great service quick seating with reservation. Unique style of pizza. A mix of different ingredients you normally don't see on pizzas. Like grapes, avocados, and many others. It was fun trying different combinations. Some didn't add much flavor and others took your mouth to flavor town as Guy would say. Quick service. Friendly service. Restaurant decor was rustic look. Okay for the dining room but the restroom had stickers and graffiti all over it so it made it look dirty like a bad gas station bathroom. Pizza was good and unique but only above average. Depends on if you're looking for crazy ingredients or pizza like you get in Italy. Over all good meal.

Peach pizza
Michelle L.

Went to dinner here on a Monday night with my friends. We only had a 15 minute wait for our table. It wasn't too loud in there which is nice. Has dim mood lighting, very cozy feel. The pizzas are amazing! I don't think I've had a bad one from there. We got the California Sunrise, a peach special one, grape Gorgonzola, and a buffalo chick sandwich. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. The waiters checked on us multiple times.

We had reservations here on a Thursday night before a show at Hale. They were very quick, so we didn't have to stress at all about timing. My one complaint is that we made our reservation for 6:15, but at 5:55, I received a text that my table was ready and would only be held for 10 minutes. That means our table would be given away if we didn't arrive 10 minutes BEFORE our reservation time. The pizza is fantastic. Which I kept saying to my party through bites of pizza. It is the crust that makes this pizza. It is a little sweet but not in a dessert way. It has the perfect chewy bite. I was impressed. I never eat pizza crust, not ever, but it was good enough that my dogs didn't get their usual crust treat. We tried 4 different pizzas and I would recommend any of them.

Chicken Bro-Do
Daniel A.

Slackwater is a lively, upbeat pizza restaurant with a great beer selection, great atmosphere and great food. My family stayed down the street at the HGI in Sandy for 5 nights for my son's soccer tournament and we visited Slackwater 3 times. Pro tip: join the waitlist on Yelp! Even during the week, the wait was 30+ mins each time. Food was great. We tried a lot of different pizzas - we got the Chicken Bro-Do, Hot Honey DP, Tikka Masala, Taco Camarones and Margherita. The airy artisan crust is the same on all pizzas and is delicious. I would recommend them all outside of the Camarones which felt a bit underwhelming as there was very little shrimp and flavor was flat. The Citrus Morita dry rub wings are incredible. We ordered these every night. The Morita chile sauce I would throw on everything. Super fresh and flavorful. It had the right amount of heat . The breadsticks are really good. Same bread that they use for the pizza and stuffed with a ton of cheese. Marinara sauce that comes with it is top notch. The Diablo sticks are spicy just to be spicy. The sauce isn't good. We switched to regular marinara. Would recommend staying away from these. Service is great. Everyone is very attentive. The staff definitely give off a chill energy but are focused, alert and friendly. This place is a must if you're in the area. Hope we can make it back someday.

Slackwater has to be my number one favorite pizza I have found in Utah so far. Nothing beats the fluffy, crispy, and cheesy calzones! The buffalo Chicken Sandwich is a close second though. I've never had a bad experience. Waiters are always kind. The only bummer is the wait. It's so good the place is always packed. Plan heading there earlier than when you want to actually eat. I love the live music at the Sandy location - such a vibe. Slackwater also has a fantastic beer menu where I fell in love with my favorite beer!

No 9 on the list of best restaurants in the USA according to Yelp! My local friend raves about it. It was packed when I went in to pick up my order...all very positive signs and the expectations were high. I got the monthly special pizza..."Spring Fling" which was great. The crust was a little sweet as well which was unique. The Caesar salad was not that good and a little listless. Service was very disappointing sadly. From the time I placed the order on the phone to when I picked up the food, the staff was curt and dour. Not sure if that's their shtick but it was not for me. They did not giver me napkins or a fork so had to go back and ask for it which I did...nicely. They gave it to me with zero words and with a grumpy look like I was bothering them. Maybe they think they don't need to be customer-focused, given how popular they are. Not a good sign if you ask me, hubris never ends well.

Line waiting wasn't too bad especially when you can use Yelp to get in line ahead of time. Pizza--sweet fluffy bread crust. It's fun to try but not my ideal for a pizza. It had more of a bread feel to it than a crust and dominated the pizza rather than completing it. The crust edge was also very large in relationship to the toppings middle. Grape and Gorgeous flavor was delicious. The spin-art dip was thick cheese and surprisingly needed to be more dippable to enjoy. Limited artichoke flavor, mainly cheese Service was all over the place. We waited about 15 min for our check. Understand that it gets busy here but 15 min is quite excessive to wait.

Margarita pizza - caprese style.
Haley D.

Always great food and ambience. Can get loud for those who are overstimulated by volume. Outdoor seating is a good alternative when weather permits. Usually a wait, even on weeknights, so plan accordingly. Service is typically as expected. Haven't had a bad experience.

Jala-berry wings to-go
Summer S.

We love coming to this place! My cousin from out out town stayed over and when they asked for pizza and wings, I knew this place would rock their world! They drove in pretty late so for the first time, we got ours to-go. I will say, in the pizza box the pizza did look way smaller compared to when we dine in. But we ordered our usual 2 tiki masala chickens ( it is the #1 pizza for a reason) the cardiac arrest , and the jala-berry seasonal wings. The pizzas make look small, but they are very filling. 2 men and 2 women and we still had a whole pizza left! The seasonal wings were so good! The poppyseed sauce on the wings was the cherry on top! I will say, I wish the wings were bigger or had more meat. Each wing had probably a finger full of chicken. But it was still delicious!!! Even as a Togo order they did not disappoint! I ordered during peak hours thinking it would take a while , but they had it all ready to go in 15 minutes which was impressive for a Friday night! If you love pizza and want to discover new flavors, slackwater should be your #1 choice!! If you love curry, the tiki masala should be your first choice! If that seems weird to you , just think of The bread of the pizza is almost like the naan bread .

I've been to this location a few times now, most recently after going to an aerial class with my Yelp fam. I first went to the location in Ogden before it moved down to Salt Lake County. I love the unique flavor combinations of pizzas. I also love that they have GF and vegan options as well. Our service this past Wednesday was great! We were seated pretty quickly, even on a somewhat busy evening. Our server was attentive and patient with us. He definitely took care of us that night. All of the pizzas we got were delicious! The wings at Slackwater were great too (my husband always gets wings if they're on the menu, and these did not disappoint)! They also carried Shades Brewing sours, which we were excited about. We did spend a few minutes outside, next to the fire pits, finishing off the night in more conversation on a cold night.

We recently had a meal here along with our entire volleyball team and their families. I was impressed at how they easily handled such a large party and was also impressed with their variety in food and drinks! Everyone found something to eat and they seemed great adapting to all kind of palates and allergies. I had the half soup and sandwich and a light beer. Would totally return to try other yummy sounding food on the menu.

Absolutely

Is the normal menu also available or just the brunch menu during brunch?

Both menus are available.

Are there gluten free options?

Yes there is!

Yes it's quite reliable. I hate to say the trick but always sit at the bar if possible though. Hardly ever a wait and better service even though all good.

Are kids allowed or is it a bar bar and hence no kids?

Kids are all good. We've brought our girl (they have high chairs) and seen others with children.

Are they Dog Friendly when dining in the outdoor patio?

Yes! We brought our dog and our waitress even brought her a small thing of water

When're you opening a location downtown?

It’s open now

Do you have heated outdoor dining available?

Kassandra, we do not have any outdoor patio seating available during the winter season. Hope you will visit us this spring when our patios open!

Is there gluten free options?

Absolutely there are! We have a homemade gluten free crust!

How's the alcohol here? Are the drinks decently strong?

I have only had the beer there but they have an extensive list! I have heard the mixed drinks are great though and strong enough.

Do they sell pizza by the slice?

No just 11” personal pizzas.

Since I was not that hungry to begin with, I only ordered a cup of their daily soup. On that day in particular, the soup was tomato bisque. SUPER YUM. Yes, it was on the saltier side; however, I like my food pretty savory/salty, so I did not mind. Great texture, very creamy.

Today, we arrived and noticed the menu had changed. We ordered our usual Legendary Omelets--something we've ordered for years. Each omelet was priced at $16 with cheese and bacon, and we included several vegetables on each. When our bill arrived, we were shocked. One omelet was $25 and the other was $22. We asked our waitress how a $17 omelet had increased so much and were told that Legends is now charging $1 for each and every vegetable added to an omelet. While it was listed on the menu, we didn't realize each vegetable would be an additional charge. It should have been communicated that EVERY additional vegetable will be $1! Our total came to $51 before tip--for two omelets. We expected it to be around $35. We understand that restaurants have had to raise prices, and we don't mind paying more for quality food. What is disappointing is the feeling of being nickel-and-dimed over basic vegetable toppings that have always been part of how we've enjoyed our omelets. The vegetables added to an omelet are so minimal, I don't understand the change. Sadly, this pricing change means we'll no longer be returning. It's disappointing to lose one of our favorite breakfast spots over a pricing policy that just doesn't feel like a good value anymore.

Once inside, it had a welcoming atmosphere and people inside were all having a good time. This brewery features Lager Beers crafted using traditional Bavarian/European methods...thus I had to try one...two...maybe more. Luckily there was a ton of delicious looking food on the menu from the expected pizzas and wings to the old world treats like beef stroganoff, goulash and schnitzal. Everything is made from scratch and I couldn't help looking at all the neighboring tables to get an idea of what to try. Our waitress Ashley was really helpful and checked if the pesto was made with nuts as we have peanut and tree nut allergies in our family. Luckily there were no pine nuts or other substitutes and we could safely have it! We ended up getting quite a feast of plates and then topped it off with two desserts- the bread pudding and the German chocolate cake (couldn't come to a family agreement so had to get both!).

We had the pork shank and the chicken schnitzel. The pork shank came with spatzle and red cabbage-excellent dish. The chicken schnitzel was pretty good. It had a fresh taste to it and even a little lemon-y, which didn't make the fried cutlet taste too rich. It came with mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies. The veggies were your basic steamed veggies, but the dish was overall good. Service was great-server was attentive and the manager came around as well to check on us. I think it would be fun to come here for Oktoberfest, since the inside has a good ambiance.
