I'm a huge breakfast lover and I was so excited when the old Winger's turned into this All Day Breakfast Diner. Virg's is cheap, fast, and gives you a ton of food. But there are two reasons why I haven't been back: 1) The food made me incredibly sick. I'm fairly certain it was the heavy amounts of grease that upset my stomach, not food poisoning so that's a bonus. But either way, I was sick all day. 2) My waitress brought me out a scramble when I had ordered a skillet. I told her, "Oh, I ordered a skillet, but that's fine. I will still eat that." And she replied with a snarky tone, "No you didn't. You ordered the scramble." Ummmmm, okay. When my waitress left I asked my table if I had somehow made a mistake and ordered the scramble and everyone remembered me ordering a skillet. But regardless, I was shocked by the attitude. She was young and had mentioned she was new, I wouldn't be surprised if she has already quit or been fired. Hopefully the service has improved. Anyway, I've only been here twice and both times for breakfast. My husband loves their breakfast burritos (I believe it was chili verde) so I will probably be back one day... but I'm currently avoiding it at all costs. Their lunch menu also looked good - greasy, but good. Maybe one day I will give that a try. I will update my review if I experience better food and service. read more

Virg's is a long time favorite of people in Salt Lake and they have now opened a new location in the former "Winger's" diner building on Harrison. Famous for their fish and chips, Virg's is also known for their breakfast. We had a chance to try out their BF menu and it was impressive. Let me begin with a warning. Virg's is about BIG portions of traditional American food. When I mean big, I mean B I G. I did a half order of one dish and couldn't finish half of it. The scones were the size of a frisbee. The pancake would cover a softball without issue. The whole meal was simply enormous. The overall quality wasn't amazing but it was definitely good. I enjoyed all my food and was pleased with the service as well. I prefer Karen's downtown because the portions are more manageable and I like the atmosphere of 25th Street. However, I would definitely make Virg's a choice if I want a nice big breakfast and I need to stay east. read more

Well the best I can say is "not bad." I ordered the cod 3-piece fish & chips (tots instead of fries) & my wife ordered a cheeseburger & tots. The food arrived fairly promptly but we didn't hear from our waitress again until we were done so couldn't get a drink refill. The food was completely tasteless. The tots were the best part of the meal which isn't a compliment. And the kicker -- had some significant GI issues afterward (sorry if that's tmi). Virg's: not recommended. read more

This place is hands down the best diner and fish n chips you can get. I love how quick, casual and nice they are. The customer service is always top notch. I've gotta recommend their fish n chips. Whether you get halibut, haddock, or cod, you will love it! read more

Oh my gosh, we were so pleasantly happy with this place! SO much food for such a reasonable price and it was all delicious!! Our group had a little of everything and it was all fresh, tasty & fast. read more

Found it! This us un questionably the worst restaurant in Ogden. Note that the good reviews come from people who don't d many reviews. read more

Super divey place. We have only ever been for breakfast. Their pancakes are consistently huge and consistently delicious. Scones come with 3 flavors of honey butter. Eggs ordered with cheese come with Colby jack, which is awesome, because most dives just throw a slice of American on top. Potatoes are great, generous portions, insanely low prices. Like, so low we always over-tip our server. Super friendly servers, totally weird atmosphere, don't sit on the south side of the restaurant or your meal will be laced with the smell of urinal cake. If you stay north and are cool with just this side of crazy hoarder lady decor, you'll be set! read more

Thought we would stop for a good breakfast, as friends had recommended this place! Upon arrival it appeared there were only two waitresses? Didn't know if we needed to sit ourselves or wait? It only got worse, finally was seated, waited 10 min., no service!! On to Karen's!! read more

Our server was super nice and helpful and the food was awesomely good. I wasn't disappointed at all. I love the nostalgic look of this diner. I will definitely be back!!! read more

First time here and Great service. Manuela was a wonderful waitress and she brought me food that wasn't on the menu that they had made this morning for themselves- Chilequiles! Soooo delicious and it was so nice of them to share that with us. Virg's really should put it on the menu. Her husband is a talented cook! What a wonderful experience. read more

Great food, huge portions, friendly servers. Love taking the family here. You definitely get your money's worth. My husband and I share a big bird and our 17 year teenager couldn't finish his tall stack. read more

We took our family in and we were so please with the friendly staff and the large portions! We watched a couple of college guys eat the Huge family burger, they were defeated. We most certainly will be regular customers from now on. Thanks Virgs Ogden read more

Very good food. Real potatoes for the hash browns, not frozen potatoes. Portions are huge and the food is fresh and tastes very homemade. Recommend breakfast here! read more

Quick service, coffee is good, portions are large. The breakfast burrito is enormous! Which explains why they offer a smaller version. They gave a sample of the chili verde and the red pork chili to choose for the burrito topping. Red chili was the best. The prices are reasonable. It has the usual cute classic diner ambiance and decor. read more

Very good, great service. Open on 4th of July. Employees happy :). Very good verde sauce on burrito read more

I really like this place. Good service, hearty servings and great prices. The dinners are great. Most of them include soup or salad, toast, entree and ice cream for dessert. The only problem I have with this place is my hair always smells like a fried food when I live there. Oh well, its the price I will pay. read more

Virgs Restaurant - The "old Timers" 1/2 waffle, egg and 2 pieces of bacon. - American Near Me - Ogden, Utah

See all

Please do something about the ripped up seats! It is disgusting. We would go there more often if it wasn't for the shabby appearance of the place. Can't believe it passes with the health department. And that grate outside is an accident waiting to happen. I've only had breakfast there which has always been good. read more

Patrons beware!! Went to dinner about a month ago. Waitress was nice, food was good but nothing special about it. But when we got our credit card bill the amount ran through was different than what the receipt was for. I called and asked for the manager. I explained the situation and was told only the owner could fix it and he only came in on Saturday morning (which is their busiest time) and I'd have to come in to get it fixed. I asked if he could call me and she said yes, that would work. Saturday came and went and no phone call. A week went by and no phone call. So we won't be patrons of this place again! They make the mistake (intentional or not) and I'm the one who has to do all the work to get my money back?! So I hope the waitress enjoys her extra money, but they will not be getting any more if mine!! read more

This restaurant has terrific food. The workers wear masks and are super courteous. The country breakfast was delicious, pancakes are amazing and are the size of the plate! read more

Not good. Just a big greasy heart attack on a plate. Flavors are bland. Ingredients are low quality. Portions are huge - which could be a positive or a negative. read more

My kids love this place. The food is good and the portions are huge. The people are so friendly and welcoming. I had the big bird I think it's called and it was so much food, it was served on a platter . However I feel because it was massive that it was just bland . Great family environment. read more

We were searching for somewhere to eat breakfast and found out Verg's served breakfast all day and we had just got done with a doctor appointment around 11:30. We went in and were happy to find a private quiet booth to relax. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. When we got the food we were shocked!!! It was a huge plate of the most delicious food I have ever had!! Everything tasted like it was made from scratch in mom's kitchen!!! My parents owned a bakery and cafe growing up and they made everything from scratch so I know good food when I taste it! We got eggs Benedict and a huge multigrain pancake! There was even non GMO ketchup which means a lot to me! No one does that!!! I plan to go there again and again!!!! read more

Amazing food and PHENOMENAL service. The waitress, Ashley W., was extremely personable and made us feel so welcome. I can't believe I've never come here before. read more

So here's the deal: Went to Virg's today and ordered the RUBEN. It was one of the better Ruben's that I've eaten in quite some time from other joints. Very nice marble bread, lots of pastrami and a good amount of kraut. I usually get there in the mornings and eat the smothered burrito, which is good. Today however, showed up around 1:00pm. Service was very good. It was nice to come in here and feel that people were actually happy to be at work. My glass was always full, they checked on me a few times, smiled and asked how my meal was. This place is an old Winger's location that went out of business. If you're looking for upscale, white-cloth...this isn't it. It's a relaxed cafe like atmosphere. Also, go hungry! You will get lots of food for a very good price. Give them a chance. I've had good experiences the few times I've popped in. Here's a tip: If you're happy with the service or food, tell them. If you're upset, tell them that too so they can fix it. If I owned a restaurant I would probably be frustrated if a patron left upset and didn't tell me about it. That's the worst type of patron in my opinion. If they don't care to fix it after you mention it, you have a good gripe. Just my thoughts... Happy Holidays read more

This is a family restaurant that serves quality food at great prices. Staff is friendly and attentive. Great Food Great Service can't go wrong. Tom read more

I don't like to write bad reviews, but this place was so awful I wouldn't even give them one star. It was our first time here and we were told when we walked in to seat ourselves and the waitstaff would bring us our menus. We sat in a semi-busy area and sat at our booth for 25 MINUTES before I finally got up and got our own menus and silverware. During that 25 minutes 2 different waitresses walked by, looked at our menu-less table and essentially ignored our existence. Also during that 25 minutes, the surrounding tables all got their food and checks and left. Those tables were then filled with new parties and they all promptly got their menus and drinks. A waitress finally came over and asked about drinks, we ordered 2 waters, and those came out quickly(which I can confidently say was the ONLY positive part of our experience). We then sat there for an additional 10 minutes with her casually serving everyone else their food. She told us, 'I will be right with you, I promise!' Then she walked back a forth a few times, then took the order of a table that arrived only 5 minutes prior. So here we are, 35 minutes with only water. I'm glad we only ordered water, because we walked out of the restaurant, and headed to the Village Inn down the street, and within the 3 minutes we were under Village Inn's roof we were seated, got our drinks, and our orders were taken. 12 minutes after getting to Village Inn, we had our food! Shout out to Kenzie at Village Inn for being prompt, polite, and incredibly attentive. We will not be returning to Virgs, and giving them one star is an overstatement to our visit with them. read more

How do you mess up breakfast, especially pancakes? Unquestionably the worst breakfast food I've ever had. The only semi-decent part was the unique thin, fry-like hash browns, but that's where it ends. Just can't get past the terrible flavor of the pancakes, it now haunts me. read more

I can handle a divey restaurant but this place is just too much! Located in the old South Ogden Wingers that had been abandoned for a few years I understand why the landscaping had gone to shiz. I still think they could throw down some fresh sod down and at the very least dig up all the dead trees and shrubs. With that said I do not go to a diner to eat and or look at the outside of it. I do however go to eat and look inside and this place is FILTHY! The blinds are covered in schmeg circa 2001, like I seriously doubt they ever even started out with a clean place. My sisters and I went in for a late Sunday breakfast and despite the dingy and oddly decorated in lighthouses décor we were excited to try Virg's breakfast. I had the famous breakfast burrito and although our food was excessively slow coming out it was tasty. The Chile Verde was white girl spicy and the burrito was HUGE stuffed with hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, ham, and then smothered in the said chili Verde. I was starting to think I could handle this sad dirty little diner until it was time to pay.... This is a small diner so why for the love of god would you have a person have to stand in a line to cash out right in the middle of your establishment with their asses in your other guest's faces who are un lucky enough to be seated by the cashier stand, also right at the opening of your kitchen so not even your servers can safely nor efficiently get through?? I am giving it a 2 star for an overall rating 1 star for the look, cleanliness, and setup of the place and 3 stars for the food. read more

The food has been great. The service leaves A LOT to be desired. First it took about 10 minutes to even take our drink order in a sparsely occupied restaurant. The waitress got everything wrong from the start. Fine, mistakes happen, but then she avoided us and that just made it worse. If you mess up, just act like you care and it will be all better. I'm actually not hard to please at all, but I left really disappointed and very clearly annoyed. The other waitress was so loud, yelling across the room to customers. It was weird. I'm sad, because I liked it there and I don't think I'll be back. Too many bad service experiences there to be outweighed by the food. read more

Worst place ever, we went for fathers day last year and we found a live wasp in our burger, yes i said LIVE wasp! So gross, not to mention they brushed it off like it was nothing. .will not be going back... read more

You have a pretty good old school diner menu and feel, and for the most part it all is pretty tasty. You've got a good location with a pretty good business crowd for a customer base. Your biggest problem is your staff. From the top down. It is not that they give bad service, but it is the palpable discontent that the employees , and owner have for each other and for the environment in which they work. They don't even fein any enthusiasm that you've decided to visit them and spend money at their business. Nothing else matters if customers don't feel welcome in your restaurant. read more

Worste restaurant I have ever eaten at. Food is not good and it's greasy, over seasoned and coffee was just nasty. No taste what so ever. I'm definatly not going there again. read more

We visited Virg's probably on their first week open. The wait staff was super slow, didn't check on us often and it took then probably close to an hour to even get us our food even though we were the only diners. That was the only time we will ever go. Hopefully they have improved but I highly doubt it. read more

Wife and I went for breakfast based on reviews. Got there about 7:45am and we were only customers, which I thought strange, since reviews so go. But by the time we placed our orders, crowds started showing up lol. Food was huge servings, good tasting, good prices, great variety Gigantic cones which my wife loved. Good coffee. Loved this place. Will be back. Excellent service too. read more

This is a place that is trying to be a hometown diner... I wished it worked, because this area is in need of a great, quick meal. Unfortunately, it fails to give you home cooked meals, a rustic or fresh feel, and a comfort food taste. Gotta cruise further down the road if you want some diner food in this area. read more

I dined at Virg's last night with a group of 15 friends. The service was prompt and accurate. The interior of the restaurant is fine. The meals portions served were very large except for the fish. None in our group had any bad comments at all. Do not understand the one star ratings. I recommend anyone to dine there. read more

Love the one in Erda, but this one is bad. Very slow service when it's not even busy. Waitress looked like a skunk bit her, we did not feel comfortable at all. Food was not bad but we will not come back. read more

Always eat here for breakfast , the special burrito is awesome it's huge and can feed 2 people easy. Staff is really nice and a great little diner to eat at. Must try is the giant 22' family bacon burger !!!!! read more

Yuck. To be fair, this is not my favorite kind of food. I should have known better when I saw something online about a hamburger that feeds 10 people or something. But we are always eager to support businesses in close proximity to our house, so we gave it a shot. It is also usually not a good sign when a place with "American" food tries to throw "Mexican" in there, too. I found something in my soup that I thought was plastic, but they assured me it was an onion. Whatever. I wasn't going to hold it against them, but the food just wasn't good. I should have gotten a hamburger; my husband's looked pretty good. When I took my young daughter to the bathroom she almost slipped on the floors, which seemed greasy. Maybe it was floor polish, but I am doubting that. Perhaps breakfast would be good? We won't be returning to find out. read more

I ordered cheese enchiladas that didn't end up having any cheese melted in the middle. It's a nice dinerish place, but don't expect too much. read more
