    Chicken Wings
    Russ L.

    First time here and might be the last. I've always wanted to try this place. So today why not have have chicken wings to go with my poke. It's crispy, crunchy, but a bit dry inside. The wings tasted like it was left in the freezer too long.

    The Malt. It's good but not for the price.

    Are we spoiled by the fancy burgers everywhere? You know we are. So it's nice to get an old-time burger for $5 - $9 (the double). Simple but not boring. Check out the beef patty, you'll find some tiny bits of onion cooked into the beef. It's like they cooked the patty on a layer of onions. IYKYK. Go there for the hamburger. You might complain about how plain it is, but you won't stop eating it. If you've never had a chocolate malt before, give it a try. It's too pricy, so I won't get it the next time.

    We continually visit this place at least once a week. The food is plentiful and delicious. They've been around forever and that's saying something. The service and great and the family works hard to put out quality food for a very reasonable price. The place is clean and has a down stairs and upstairs if needed for overflow customers. We do takeout at least once a week as well. If you haven't been here in a while, you're missing out!

    11/08/24 Combo plate with chicken katsu,  4 small BBQ ribs,  all mac
    Kathy R.

    11/08/24 Went to pick up late lunch & dinner for hubby & stopped in just before 2PM, Friday. We've come to this place off and on over the yrs to get our BBQ fix since this place is close to the house. There was plenty of available parking. Sometimes the parking lot gets so full from the surrounding food places & the ice skating rink. The restaurant was empty, no line. Tables & floors were clean. There was a woman behind the counter & a couple of cooks in the back. They have such a huge, extensive menu that it takes time to go thru it all. They have several specials posted under the main menu board as well as at the front counter. Brown rice is available. They offer so many different combos that it is hard to choose & mini plates are also available on some of the entrees. i ended up ordering 2 sandwiches and 2 plates. Teri pork sandwich - it was ok, average tasting - 2 thin slices of BBQ pork on a hamburger bun slathered with mayo with a wilted piece of lettuce. Chicken burger - good sized BBQ chicken thigh skinless on a hamburger bun, mayo, & wilted piece of lettuce. Hubby liked it. It had good flavor & tasty. BBQ chicken/teri beef combo plate with mac salad toss salad, no rice. Quantity was great. 2 large pieces of boneless/skinless chicken. Same chicken as in the sandwich - tasty & good flavor. Teri beef - good portion. I wanted to really like this like the chicken but I did not care for it. It was marinated but not long enough & the taste of it was very salty. Mac salad was ok, but way too much mayo. Toss salad with just iceberg letter & a few tomato wedges. The salad was on the bottom of the plate covered by the hot chicken & beef, thus making the salad soggy. Chicken katsu/BBQ rib special for hubby, all mac. Huge quantity of chicken katsu. Disappointed that it only came with 4 small ribs. Each rib measured about 1 1/2" long. Mac salad covered the bottom of the plate topped by the hot entrees, making it looks pretty messy. Ribs were ok but the katsu was hard to eat, lot of it was overcooked & dried out. We ended up tossing what was left of the katsu. Even though I was the only customer at the time of ordering, my order still took 10 - 15 minutes. While I waited, several people came in to pick up catered orders. They seem to do a good business with those. No wonder my food was taking longer than expected, they were cooking for these big orders. It's definitely not fast food if you are in a hurry. Overall, we thought their BBQ was average, nothing stood out that made it special. But they do have a huge menu & lots of combos, good quantity of food for a reasonable price.

    Chicken Katsu and Ginger Chicken

    I haven't been here in a long time and I needed lunch and was craving some chicken katsu. I ended up wanting both chicken katsu and cold ginger chicken and found out i can get a mixed combo for $16. It was ready in just a few minutes which is great since I needed to take it to go and was in a hurry. The portions were huge! The chicken katsu was crispy yet juicy and the sauce is really good! The cold ginger chicken had generous amounts of ginger and onions and was so good with the mac salad and rice. I have enough food for 2 more meals! This place seemed to have a lot of phone orders and was quite busy! They have reasonable cheaper mini plates too like the mini chicken katsu is only $8.95. Highly recommend!

    Teri beef combo w bbq chx You can create you own combo This was delicious
    Kristin C.

    Just what I was craving for! Requested teri beef and teri chicken combo and the eager cashier said you can do any combination you'd like, and glad I did. The marinate was good, the teriyaki beef was tender, the chicken was a bit overcooked but didn't matter it was still good to us. Mister and I split the regular size plate and dined in. Busy restaurant, fast service.

    Came for their Ginger Chicken... Sold out :'( so sad yet not done plan B was their Hibachi Chicken...why cause I couldn't find a picture of it on Yelp so just wondering what it was. At $8.50 the mini plate is a great deal and consists of a scoop of white rice and a scoop of macaroni salad, the rice was quite mushy...bleh and the salad was okay it came with tow pieces of skinless chicken which I was quite impressed and was coated with what looks similar with the sauce they use in the ribs...kinda bland and didn't care for it. There's so many types of chicken dishes this is not recommended. The vibe is the basic dive shop with for large tables and a smaller two seater though is nice that the have some tables to dine in casually the staff is nice and can see why it's a popular spot with lots of free parking just steps away. Thank you!

    When u want a juicy, homemade burger on a soft bun with GIANT WEDGE fries, this is the place! Adding a chocolate malt shake would've been a bit too much but their malts are also yummy!

    I miss the outing with my fellow yelpers on a State holiday 2024. Paul C. said he wanted to try their chicken wings. Well since I had a pick up at target salt lake we decided to go and try um. I ordered the fried chicken wings plate maybe I ordered wrong because it came with 2 scoops rice Mac salad and the wings. ‍ My husband had the cheeseburger and chocolate malt. I wanted French fries but it didn't come with enough salt on it just like crinkle type fries which I always get from someplace else. Lol. The cheeseburger was ok but the buns wasn't soft it was dry. The wings were ok to me not enough salt inside the chicken before they deep fry um. It was crispy and serve very hot. Well at least we try this place even though we couldn't hook up with my yelp friends the last time.

    After doing a pick up from Target Saltlake., we decided to go to Stadium Gaint Malts and BBQ. I ordered a Cheeseburger and a Medium Chocolate Malt. My wife ordered the chicken wings plate. Also we got an order of fries. The Cheeseburger patty was homemade with a good taste. The bun was not that good. It felt soft, but it was dry. The chocolate malt was disappointing.. It was dispenes from a soft serve machine. Wendys frosty taste a lot better. It got to try the wings. A little salt to the wings would give it a better taste. The service was fast and friendly. There's a table and a few booths. Interior was clean. Enjoy

    ***3.5 STARS*** A few months ago, some of my foodie friends decided to try new places we've never been to on a State holiday and had Stadium Giant Malts and BBQ (SGM) bookmarked. Prior to coming to here, we were discussing of places that interested us and for me, it was Ramfis B., who would post pics of the chicken wings from here that would make my mouth water. After meeting up earlier in the morning for coffee and a lite snack, we parted ways and met a few hours later for lunch at SGM. SGM, which serves local style plate lunches, burgers and some Chinese food options. They took over the space that was previously occupied by Bob's BBQ way back in 2010 (?). We arrived at the agreed 12pm time and had the darnest challenging time looking for a parking stall. SGM is located in Stadium Mall that is occupied with multiple businesses so I had to circle the mall multiple times before I was able to score a stall. Upon entering SGM, luckily there was an empty booth that we secured as the restaurant was packed. A handful of patrons were already sitting down eating and had quite a few people standing as they waited for their carryout orders. I had omakase reservations later that day for an early dinner so I strategically planned my food order: side order of fried chicken wings. Had to pass on the carbs that you get in a plate lunch to save precious stomach space for sushi later that day. We stood in line to place our order and then waited patiently for our food. THE VERDICT: The fried chicken wings were indeed delicious. Made to order, 10 flats were lightly breaded with a pleasant, exterior crust that had a great crunch. Wings were made to order so they were piping hot, the way I like to eat my food. However, they were slightly heavily seasoned to my taste so I found myself craving for some rice, which I didn't have any. I ended up repeatedly drinking water to offset the saltiness. I offered my wings to my dining mates where they all agreed were tasty and mentioned they'd order this should they return to SGM. Coincidentally, all 3 dining mates ordered hamburger steak and commented they acknowledged the homemade patties but the gravy was underwhelming. The rice was okay and the macaroni salad was nothing to write home about, as evidenced my friends not finishing them up. Service was at par as it's self service here. You stand in line to order and after paying, you claim your food at the counter. SGM really had the old school vibe with non digital menus with signs posted all over. In closing, mixed feelings on SFM and glad that I finally tried them. This is not a place I'd bring my family to. I'd be game for a return visit but not eager to go back in the near future.

    Lunch in Salt Lake, Honolulu, Hawaii... Paul C. was very enthusiastic about meeting for lunch on the State Holiday - Prince Kuhio Day - March 26, 2024. He really wanted to try the chicken wings at Stadium Giant Malts & Bar-B-Que. Okay! Parking was challenging because even though it's a spacious, free, shared lot, many businesses are busy during lunchtime, and customers from Ice Palace (ice skating rink) need to park there, too! The interior of the cozy shop was packed! Every table was taken, and there were several people standing and waiting for their orders, while patrons with phone-in orders went in and out. This was a busy time! Each of us took turns ordering while the rest of us saved a table with bench seats attached. It was squishy, so we luckily knew each other well! Paul shared his order of chicken wings... they were steaming hot, crispy, moist, tender inside, and tasty outside... wow! Really good! I got the Hamburger Steak Plate - yummy! There was a lot of gravy, which made me eat more rice and macaroni salad... mmm! The Hamburger patties were homemade... yay! Delicious! Thanks, Paul, for organizing us and introducing us to another small business! I'll be back for the reasonable prices and efficient service!

    Does this place have indoor seating?

    Yes, it did. It had a few old school bench seating tables to eat on. However, I'm not sure if they're opened. I think they're under renovation.

First off, their sandwiches are thickkk! Thick slices of homemade bread, tons of fresh meats, and veggies. This place has been on my hubby's places to try list and we finally checked it off the list! We went with their Turkey Avocado Bacon sandwich. He was so impressed when he saw the worker slicing the turkey fresh onto the sandwich. This sandwich is pretty basic and includes turkey, avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato, & mayo. You can add on more veggies at no charge such as cucumber, onion, oregano, & even hot mustard. The sandwich itself was good but for $13.99 I wish they had fresh avocado or added more avocado spread because I didn't taste any of it. Second, the bread was really soft with a bit of a chewy crust. It's made fresh daily so you know it's quality. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich but nothing special. Maybe we have to try a different sandwich with different meats next time!

Then the girl at the register asked him if he wanted it, and apparently, he told her yes, so she charged me for it. I didn't even know until later, after I finished ordering, that I noticed what was being charged for a bag of chips. So I quickly told her that we don't want the bag of chips and put it back on the rack. Other than that, the sandwiches were fine. They seemed less thick and full than the other location, but maybe it was just ours that day.

I'm amazed how fast they were when making sandwiches for me and my parents. The workers were attentive and swift. There was an assembly line of them making the sandwiches in house.

Ordered three "Vinny" which is like an Italian sandwich with wheat bread (which all they had that night) my choice of seasonings, oil and red onions. It was well made sandwich wrapped nicely, no spills since I had some oils, however I prefer to try that sandwich with a different bread next time and wish there was a little more protein.
