This place serves burgers, BLTs and grilled cheeses with lots of customizable toppings to choose from. Burger sizes range from single, double, and triple patties. Piping hot fries. At the register, there's a straightforward glowing yellow menu to order from. You can't miss it. Our burger patties were made fresh, not pre-formed/frozen - I appreciated that they started cooking 'em on the flat top right as soon as we placed our order. They have fountain drinks and ice maker. We opted for water, which tasted a little funky. :-/ Our cheeseburgers were quite flavorful and juicy, and both came with a side of fries (single-patty pastrami $12, bacon $12). The food arrived to our table piping hot and delicious. Burgers wrapped in foil, served on 4" potato buns. Great texture, nice bite. The hot fries had a pleasant crispness to them, nice saltiness, and were accompanied by a small chilled fry sauce.. Tasty. Patty Shack is a greasy hole-in-the-wall, with dim lighting, dusty footprint tracked linoleum floors, and wood walls reminiscent of decades past. So come as you are! :) Outside there's a parking lot wrapped around the place, along with some outdoor seating. I read reviews where others have favorably compared Patty Shack to a certain customizable burger chain. Not exact...but kinda close, I guess... If I had to compare, Patty Shack is the greasy spoon "neighborhood dive" version of 5G, with fewer options.

It was the Monday during the holiday break after Christmas where no one is wanting to cook, so it seemed like everyone had the same idea of going out to eat. We had a party of 5 and waited at the bar for 15 minutes until our table was ready. Service was super friendly and wonderful. When we were seated, our server Sebastian was great. I forgot how much I love their garden burger patty and their garlic rosemary fries. They also have a spicy black bean option for the vegetarians/vegans. Obviously they have a ton of great options for the meat eaters primarily, I mean it's a burger bar how could they not. Needless to say, I won't be forgetting about this place ever again! Dice bar vibes on the inside, and in the summer they have a lovely patio too.

The Diet Coke came in a HUGE glass (as it should!!) and the brew was good. He got the rabbit foot brewing beach bunny and really enjoyed it. Juan let us know people have been loving this and that the owner of lucky 13 is involved with rabbit foot brewing. Love a local connection!! For food, I got the celestial burger and my husband got the ol man. Omg they were delicious!! They are on the pricier side, but the portions are BIG. Could def be shared.

Not being from SLC, I went to Just Burgers based on the glowing reviews of others. Located on the…read moretop floor of the sprawling Harmon's marketplace, covered parking was free and convenient, especially for the bustling metro downtown area. Going in, I was impressed by the story being told, with burgers that seemed to be top quality, made with a combination of Snake River Farms and ground chuck. The fries were lightly fried once in beef tallow, and then fried again when you order them, similar to Belgian style. Everything sounded like they were super thoughtful so I was looking forward to greatness. What I ended up with was, well, "good". This is of course, a bit subjective I guess but while the burger was decent and had a nice bit of pink inside, (also, shout out for the bun they used which was absolutely perfect to be honest), it tasted a bit dense and preformed, so biting into it gave you a bit of a "quarter pounder" taste instead of being super juicy and loose consistency, if that makes sense? The fries were fresh and tasty but perhaps a bit more limp and oily than I would have preferred, as if the oil temp was a bit low? Still, I'm nitpicking because it was still really good but if you're reading between the lines of my review, I think I was expecting something exceptional that you would want to drive out of your way for given the obvious attention to quality that they strive for, and ultimately realized that Just Burgers was, ummm, Just Fine.

Table guest ordered smoked or roasted almonds, I expected them to have more of a crisp, it was soft with a barbecue season, which isn't something well ordered again, honestly they look untouched, we didn't eat the ones we ordered. The check came inside of a book. Yes an actual reading book. Fun fact: right next door is a bookstore. And these were unpopular books that the owner didn't have a heart to toss, so they rehoused them with white horse and this place put them to use by delivering checks. Very unique. For someone who enjoys touching old books. (I mean I really like the feel and smell of flipping through book pages.) I like this concept.

I ordered the mushroom burger and Dracula's casserole (Mac & cheese with candied bacon sriracha). When they brought it the casserole, I thought, "what is on the Mac and cheese?" First of all, the m&c is CREAMY. Then when you add candied bacon with a hint of sriracha....holy pork product!!! I've had two bad burgers in two days. The first burger I had this week was an overpriced greasy mushroom burger and yesterday I had a bland bloody burger. Today, I finally went into mushroom burger heaven! The beef patty was seasoned with extra pepper to give it some kick. Mushrooms were perfectly sautéed and extremely flavorful and juicy! If this is Burgertory, SIGN ME UP!!!

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while now, and we stopped here on our way to a Grizzlies game. I'm not sure if it was because of the Grizzlies game or because it was Valentine's Day or if it's always this busy on a Saturday night, but this place was PACKED. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There are about 9 tables, but it's a super small and intimate place and every table was taken and there was a line to the door! The staff was super friendly, even while being completely in the weeds. The woman at the register taking orders was super nice and made sure she got all of our orders correctly. The food was good. I got the Creature from the Black Legume burger and fries and it was yummy. I really appreciated that they had a black bean burger on the menu, and not just an impossible burger (which they also had as an option). the fries were okay, they're thicker fries which don't get as crispy and I love a crispy fry.
