From Scratch

We were very happy to try From Scratch during our recent trip to SLC. I feel this is a great choice for anyone looking for a good meal in the city. They have a wide range of homemade options, all which were enjoyable. We started with the risotto cake, which had a really great red pepper sauce 8.7/10 The beet salad was another good choice with lots of beets and a great vinaigrette dressing 8.5/10. We also started with the three meat pizza, which was alright. I found the dough to be a little plain and left a little to be desired 6.5/10. For entrees we had the from scratch burger with pulled pork added. This had to be one of the better burgers I have had, great amount of toppings and flavor 9.5/10. The fries also stood out, homemade with the right amount of seasoning 9/10. We also had the braised short rib, which were average. The ribs themselves were a little fatty and didn’t have a whole lot of meat on them. The mashed potatoes were plain and the stand of the dish were the carrots 6/10. We look forward to stopping back for the salad and the burger next time we are in town! All in all, we were happy with our meal and this spot has a good atmosphere and lots of great food choices.

Chairs are extremely uncomfortable. I noticed people from other tables switching them out to find a more comfortable chair but they are all terrible. I got the brussel sprout appetizer. It was a huge serving and super delicious. I got the prosciutto pesto pizza it was pretty good. My husband got the pastrami burger. The pastrami part was very good. The burger patty was very dry. His sweet potato fries were good. Our drinks remained empty for most of our meal.

We got our food to go. Which ended up being a good thing because when we got there at 5 o’clock on a Friday there was an hour and a half wait for a table. I don’t know if that’s the usual but this place is popular. It’s not a huge restaurant. I think it seats about 140. It’s in a nice area of Salt Lake in the Gallivan Center. It would be cool to come eat here during the winter when the ice-skating rink is going. We got the barbecue chicken pizza and the veggie pizza and they were both excellent. The crust is great and the toppings are fresh and really flavorful good. I got a hamburger and it was really big. It’s quite a meal, but it’s a good burger. My daughter got the pulled pork sandwich and again it’s very large. The fries were really good as well. I don’t know if it’s worth an hour and a half wait but it is worth going to. The food is good.

Great location, staff friendly. I got the Pastrami burger, the meat was lean so it was very dry and over cooked to me. I prefer some 80-20, this Patty was incredibly dry. My wife and I both didn't finish it. The sweet potato fries are on point, excellent with the ranch. I was disappointed in the service, my drink pretty much stayed empty, the chairs are terrible but that also could be related to me being a very big guy. My butt was hurting after only 5 minutes. Anyways I wouldn't recommend.

Service was friendly and personable. No wait to get a table. Food took a little longer to come out than expected, but it tasted good. The sourdough has great flavor, but is a bit hard. The chairs are very uncomfortable.

Great food. Quick friendly service. Was there for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty busy. Got the Scratch burger with sweet potato fries and my buddy got the Scratch steak sandwich. Both were delicious! The pizzas looked great too and will probably be trying that on the next visit! And the home made ketchup is great too!

Great pizza the waitress asked if we would like it the pizza half and half . So we order the white chicken and BBQ chicken. Both had unique flavors and that crispy flamed crust from there brick oven... We also split a BLTA everything was tasty and fresh. The home cut fries where awesome.

I had a very disappointing meal restaurant. I like my meat well done for my burger. I always stress that. As you can see in the pictures, it looked good when they brought it out to us. But after that, it was all downhill. I dont send the food back because you never know what they will do to the food. The only good part of my meal was the frys. Even the center was cold. I dont how many people like to eat an uncooked, but I dont. I would even say the health department should make more visits to this place. That is how bad my meal was. If I could give a negative score, I would.

This was my first experience at From Scratch, and it won't be my last! I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this. It was so GOOD. We shared the special a bacon Avocado cheeseburger with fries and a fennel sausage pizza. The burger came out looking like an advertisement burger (the ones that are never real because they look too good, with all of their perfect toppings and layers. The meat was juicy and well seasoned. The bacon was thick, and crisp, lots of thinly layered onion, lettuce tomato and sauce. The bun was soft. The pizza was yummy, the crust was so good it could be eaten plain. There was homemade ranch, and ketchup and it was all so good. I wanted to take a picture of the burger after I took some bites, but it was too good to put it down and go through that!! The service was good, they kept the water refills coming and were really attentive. The restaurant and bathroom were clean and tidy. I can't wait to try more dishes!!!

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The service, the food and the atmosphere were all great! This place is located in downtown SLC, but is kind of secluded in some random backstreet, but was super easy to find. The restaurant was kept clean, which is always a plus. I ordered the wood fire bread as an appetizer and the Scratch Steak Sandwich as my entree. Both were fantastic! The wood fire bread comes with butter and also some very tasty apple jam. The steak sandwich was definitely perfection on a plate. We will definitely be back to eat here whenever in SLC, and you should make it a point to stop by as well. Two thumbs, two big toes and a high five for From Scratch! Happy eating, my foodies!

While visiting SLC, Utah I found From Scratch on Google and it did not disappoint! This restaurant had a nice cool rustic feel. Our waitress Jayday was friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a big good fresh burger then From Scratch is the spot for you! The patty was thick, the bun was buttery and toasted to perfection...the toppings, crisp and fresh! The bacon was extra crispy and added more flavor that elevated each bite! The real cut potatoes was the perfect sidekick especially dipped in their homemade ketch-up! I took off a star because the burger was cooked well done so it wasn't as juicy as I like as I'm a medium well girl! Definitely a must try for any burger lover! Oh, and they validate parking which is a plus!!

Scored on sourdough!!! This place has A1 service, food, and an A1 atmosphere. The location is sort of hidden, we almost walked past it when trying to find it. Everyone at my table LOVED their food. The sourdough is unreal. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with the soup of the day -- broccoli cheddar soup. This was the perfect meal on a cold winter day. Definitely worth the visit!

I was visiting SLC for business and a colleague booked this restaurant for our group. This is the kind of original restaurants that I like to patronize when in a new area; much preferred over chain restaurants. When we arrived midweek, the place was pretty empty and we even had to wait for a staff member to come out and greet us. By the time we finished, the place was packed. I had a beer, a very nice cream of mushroom soup, and the tri-tip steak sandwich. Bonus points for making everything in-house. I do have to say that one of my colleagues commented that his beef stroganoff dish was kind of average. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place.

We're in town for a volleyball tournament and had our team dinner here. The server handled our extremely large party well and was very attentive but the cocktails (at least the margaritas) were not good they were SO sour, other than that the food was good, service was fast and good.

I love sourdough crust. I do not even really eat bread as an adult for health reasons. However, I was binge watching the newest season of the great British baking show and it was bread week and I was hungry. Fam! I do not know how this place hasn't blown up yet!!! Their sourdough crust was everything!!! If you want something to fill you up and not just feel full, but happy and grateful. This is your joint. Whoa.

The restaurant was cute and casual. The server was very nice and prompt. I ordered the beef stroganoff, which had delicious fresh noodles and earthy mushroom sauce. Unfortunately, the beef was too tough to cut through with the butter knife they gave me and too tough to chew, so I couldn't eat that part. There is outdoor seating which is nice and shaded in the evening. Order something besides stroganoff, or get it without meat, and you should be good.

This is such a fun place with great atmosphere. The menu has a ton of choices! We got the bread with some butter as an appetizer. Oh my yum! And we both got different salads. I got a berry one and my friend got the beet one. We both cleaned the bowls! Everything was delicious! We will definitely be coming back to try something else.

Horrible we got our food and it was diabolically disgusting. raw and seasoned horribly no flavor at all if I could give it negative stars I would give it negative 4

Great service delicious food. The sourdough bread was sooo good. Perfect chill lunch spot!

Wow! Stumbled upon this place one night on my way to another restaurant. It he place was packed. Checked Yelp and the food looked great. Decided to try it out. It's delicious! I ordered the fresh baked bread and apple butter, beet salad with added salmon, and the soup of the day. All were amazing. Salmon was nice and crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Salad and salmon were well seasoned. Place was packed but my food came out quickly. Service is excellent too. Enjoy! Not the quietest place, but food was so good I could overlook it. Great for families, kids, and small or larger groups.

Fries were good. Homemade (?) ketchup was not. BBQ pork was ok. Didn't love the beef stroganoff. Tasted like onion water and not in a good way. Burger was not good. Pizza was ok. 2 stars only because pizza crust and fries were good. Table next to us only took 2 bites of the chicken pesto sandwich so guessing it wasn't great either.

I walked in for lunch and it was my first visit. There was open seating but I sat at the bar bc I was alone for business. This was surprisingly not what I was expecting- in a good way! I was thinking more diner food, but this plate was excellent! The chicken and veggies were so great & garlicky, right up my alley! The service was fast and efficient! I was very happy with the visit & am excited to try the flatbreads next! I will be back!

If you have a large group or are in town for a convention and decide to go, I highly recommend you call and get reservations. We had a group of about 15 people that broke from our meeting and decided to go for lunch close to the hotel. I found this location as it was around the corner, and we decided to give it a go as the food looked really good. Walked into put our name on the list they were on the busy side. Most of the tables were taken. There was a very large table that was an occupied, but we were told it would be about 45 minutes to an hour for a week. We waited about an hour and 10 minutes before we were seated. The restaurant is kind of small and cozy, but room enough for people to walk around the tables and not bump into the neighboring table. Our poor little waitress we were those asshole customers that asked for the bill to be split before she even started taking the order. She think that's for letting her know ahead of time as it does make it a little easier for her when she is putting in the orders. She did great and taking our orders and getting us our drinks right away. The kitchen obviously was a little slammed so it did take a little bit for the food to come out. Fabulous thing is that everything is made from scratch and in house so it's worth the wait. Trying to eat a little healthier I decided to get a burger, but I had it wrapped in lettuce to get rid of most of the carbs. I must say the food was really good and very tasty with the exception of my burger was a little on the pink side . I still ended up eating it as I did not want to wait for it to come back out as we had already waited almost 2 1/2 hours from the time we walked in to the time we got our food.

The food for from scratch was above average but they could have added a little more bacon. The service was good and we gave a good tip. The ambience was tight but it was a smaller restaurant. I wish I had more to say but it was a very average restaurant as far as the food goes.

This restaurant is a family favorite! The scratch burger is awesome and the pastas made from scratch are amazing. We also love the grilled salmon and beet salad. Our son has also gone for dances and they can accommodate big groups.

We've eaten here before and really enjoyed it but this time wasn't as great. There was us and one other table, as we went at an odd time. Our waiter never refilled our drinks the entire time we were there. Our Brussels were a little on the charred and burnt side. My steak sandwich was so chewy and the bread was so hard it made it hard to eat. My husband got a hamburger but left most of it on his plate because it was burnt and horrible. We aren't hard to please, but this visit was less than ideal. The inside is cute, but it's not comfortable to sit and hang out for a long period of time.

Food - delish! Everything made from scratch - hence the name. Smell the yumminess while enjoying a brewsky. Ambiance - sit, enjoy and take your time with a friend over coffee, beer, liquor, or non-alcohol bevs

Arguably one of the best restaurants in town. Nothing fancy, clean menu, great choices, and a friendly atmosphere. When in the area, this is my go to.

Amazing, great service and good food. The bread with the apple butter 100 plus stars. Little loud but worth it.

Incredible service and the manager was very welcoming. The food is incredible, I would suggest any of their pizza's from the brick oven. The vibe is amazing; great people, great energy, and great food. Highly recommend!

Service: 5/5 , Food: 4/5 We tried From Scratch for the first time and overall, it was a good experience. We were able to make a reservation for our party of 9 and it was really convenient seeing how busy the restaurant gets. The staff was super nice and our server was very helpful and on top of checking in on us and making sure waters were filled. We ordered: Brussels Sprouts - 100% recommend Fennel Sausage Pizza - Highly Recommend Chicken Parmesan with house made noodles - 100% recommend Pastrami Burger - Not Great. The bun was so hard that you could knock on it and clearly hear the hollow sound. Perhaps it was left under the heat lamp too long. Fettuccine Alfredo with house made noodles - 100% recommend. At the end of the meal, we asked for our parking ticket to be validated. I'm not sure if the staff didn't recognize the parking ticket, but after fighting with the parking booth lady, we found out that the stamp from the restaurant was not actually valid and for the wrong parking structure. Had the staff known that was not the right ticket to validate, we could have avoided the whole situation, but what's done is done. For those of you who park anywhere but the Wells Fargo Building, just know that the validation stamp doesn't actually work.

We met some friends for dinner here who had been there before. They said the service and food used to be much better. Although the restaurant pretty much emptied out while we were there, it still took about 45-50 minutes to get our food. Our waitress seemed too busy for us and annoyed by having to help us. The food was okay. I enjoyed the chicken caprese, but it wasn't excellent. My husband felt like his fries came from the bottom of the basket. We probably won't be back.

The food was mediocre and maybe the pizza is what to get here, but the Brussels were good. Wouldn't recommend.

I met some family here for dinner over the weekend and had a great time. Our meals were hot and fresh, And seasoned well. I specifically enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and the pizza. I also tried the burger, but the bun was dried out and the cost was pretty steep for the quality. Inside the restaurant was pretty loud, but we'll decorated and they were a decent option for medium sized groups. It was clean and the wait staff was friendly. Be careful while parking! There are multiple garages adjacent to this restaurant, and the staff "validated" the parking for the wrong garage. So I still had to pay, even though they stamped it.

Service was good considering we had table of 8. I had pizza.... Tad under cooked, could go w less cheese. Highlight of the meal was Brussels sprouts!!! It's really a day diner for the local area and not a destination restaurant.

Beautiful spot right next to the action of the Gallivan Center and nearby downtown. Romantic, simple, elegant, and the food is to die for. I've tried the Pizza, the Chicken Alfredo, Risotto Cake and the Brisket Sandwich, and they never miss! Staff is very polite and prompt at serving. 10/10, took my grandmother here and she's even Gluten Intolerant. I everyone cleaned their plates.

Started off with their sourdough loaf with whipped butter & apple jam - the butter was a 12/10, so yummy. The crust on the bread was a little crunchier than we liked but overall still good bread. Apple jam? Not my fave, tasted like apple sauce but I appreciate the idea. Next is the white out pizza - this is my personal fave!! So much cheese and it was topped with homemade ricotta that was DIVINE. 9/10. Next is their Scratch burger - comes with fried onions which were super fun. I'd give this burger a 6/10 - it was super thick but there was a lot of bread. Fries were amazing though, 9/10 for those bad boys. Finally is the beef stroganoff. Its final ranking was a 7/10 - Ian loved the noodles and the sauce but the beef was a smidge too chewy! He still ate the whole plate though lol.

I understood why this place was called "From Scratch" when I dipped my yummy French fry in their ketchup and said "yep! That ketchup was made from scratch". What a delight to come here with my sweet Sherry to celebrate her birthday with beloved family. I got the yummy steak sandwich. Would have been 5 stars but the steak was a little on the well done side. Otherwise very testy to my buds. Thanks! Jerry

My pizza was so tasty with a hint of balsamic & mushrooms delectable.. service was very attentive ambience was just comfortable great seating window views. I enjoyed my food and my service.

"Do you have a reservation?" Yet, for a party of under 6 people it's first come first serve. "We can put you on the wait list, but it'll be 40-minutes at least." No thank you we don't have time to wait. "We can put you at the table in the back but you have to be done by 6:30pm and that's very quick." Seated at the bar, sweating in front of the cooking area, watching as people who came in after get seated. When asked why we were sat at the worst possible location, you opted not to be on the wait list. Yes, because YOU said it would take too long. Moral of the story: go elsewhere!

How have I never reviewed From Scratch before? When I lived downtown it was my go-to for burgers and bread pudding, but everything on their menu is solid. The fries are especially delicious! The location is great--right behind the Galavan Center, so super convenient for after community concerts and dances. And they have lovely outdoor seating. My favorite is that they home make their hamburger buns, and you can really taste the difference. I've never gone wrong at From Scratch!

Food was very mid the pasta beef stroganoff was quite watery. The portions are very small. The lava cake we got was store-bought, I could tell because it had a little piece of paper on the bottom of it. I'd give it a 5/10 definitely wouldn't waste your money. Service was also mid.

Really wanted to try this place. Came in on a Friday night and was seated right away. Waited 15 minutes and it was not greeted or acknowledged by the waitress. Left to go to another nearby restaurant. Really poor service.

Great little restaurant near downtown SLC. It was walking distance from my hotel, which is a plus. The car remained in the parking lot of the hotel most of the time during my stay in Salt Lake City. This is in a little park like area, a bit hidden away, but was busy when we arrived. They have a nice variety menu, with very large portions. Try the Brussels sprouts, they are delicious. We took half our entrees because it was just too much to finish. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with salad and husband had the Alfredo. Very good, and they don't rush you here. It was relaxing, and fun to people watch through the windows along sidewalk. Nice place if you are in the area, try them out!

I think their food is good! I would tell people that since they use home made sourdough that when they get the club the bread is really hard to chew and bite because of the toast on it as well. I got the weekly special burger and it was heaven!

We were in SLC for an event and happened upon From Scratch for a late lunch. The inside gives a cool, clean & industrially cozy vibe. Everything from the cocktails to the pizza to the sandwiches to the fries to the ketchup (oh my gosh, I never knew there was a difference in homemade ketchup v. store bought until this place) was absolutely delicious!

My sister and I went last night, It was very loud with the music and hard to hear each other. We waited 10 minutes for waters to come. It was a cool night and we were near the doors I wish they would have closed them. We waited about a 1/2 hour for our food. I have allergies a asked for nothing to be placed on the Salmon. It was Made wrong and waited at least 10 minutes for our server to be found since it was a another server that brought it to the table. I told my sister who got the chicken parm so go ahead and eat. She said it was spicy. Not sure how Chicken Parm can be spicy. After 15 minutes I told my server that I didn't want to wait any longer for my food since it was now 8pm and it had been over an hour since we arrived. The only good thing about this was they didnt charge me for my meal. We wont be back.

Food was great! Service was excellent, we had a large party and everything came out quickly. Brisket sandwich was a good pick, the meat was tender and delicious. Not pictured, but the Daily special of Butternut squash soup was EXCELLENT. Waitress accidentally ordered me fries so I got them for free! Would go again.

We are looking for some new places in SLC, and stumbled upon From Scratch. The menu looked fun so we gave it a try. Salmon - 4 stars - salmon was cooked perfectly. The pan fried veggies were flavorful. The mashed potato needed a little more love. We are a big potato fan in this family. A little more effort would go along way. Scratch burger - 3 stars - the onion straws on the burger were soggy. The flavor was fine. Hopes were high but we would not come back for this burger. The fries were nothing special. They made their own ketchup. Super cool touch. The bread appetizer was nothing special. The apple preserve was exceptional. The bread was a forgettable delivery system. There were a lot of really fun items on the menu that we will be back to try.

Food was amazing we had the sourdough bread as starter,even the butter was from scratch. Pizza, dough was crispy and cheese was great quality.. Hamburger was super tasty with special sauce and hand-cut fries .. the only thing I would say would have made the visit 10/10 is wish the restaurant was a little more quieter.. it was hard to hear each other maybe sit outside next time .

OMG what a yummy place! We ordered their: Tomato bisque soup- so creamy and flavorful Scratch Burger- WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR! Chicken Caprese- light and refreshing Brisket and veggies asked for Chimichurri on the side- they did overcook my meat lol but were sweet to redo it. It was sooo delicious, everyone finished my plate :P Everything including food service and company was impeccable **NOTE- if you park in the Wells Fargo parking structure, they will validate your parking ticket

It's one of the best burgers I've tried, the patty so juicy and with pastrami was delicious. The pizza crust is good. Their desserts were ok, I only liked their bread pudding, but their tiramisu was not that great. It was more Mascarpone on the dish. Is tough to find parking, but they validate your parking ticket. You just have to be patient because they're always short staff, but waitress are so friendly.

Chicken parm was very good. Saturday night and very busy but service was great. We will be back.

The service was great, and that brussel sprout appetizer WOW! I ordered the chicken Alfredo but was to full from the brussel sprouts. It's definitely the size to share with 3-4 people. I got a bonus too! they made a cup of tomato bisque soup by accident and brought it to me. Really good. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Salt Lake City!

Pizza, beer, service, and cleanliness! This is all I could ask from a walkable location from my hotel for a quick bite. From Scratch does all of this well! I was pleasantly surprised at the wood fire oven and perfect crust on my pizza. Everyone is super friendly and service was excellent. Prices were very reasonable. If you're looking for a place and staying at the Marriott, this is your spot

Great service, amazing food. Will totally come back next time I am in town. Recommend

I'm reposting this with the news story regarding my case because the original review was removed from Google. I'll be filing a complaint with the DOJ. Article Here: https://bit.ly/3TNhEJY On Dec. 30, 2023, I went to From Scratch in Salt Lake City, with my service animal. He helps me, among other things, with mobility tasks like retrieving things that I drop. The manager working that night approached me as I went to go sit with my friend and asked me for my "card" showing he was a service dog. They are not legally required, so I told him no, and tried to explain what the ADA rules are for having service animals in an establishment. He also stated he "also has an ESA" which I tried to explain is not the same as a service animal, and that service animals do not require papers. He then proceeded to interrupt me, raise his voice, make a scene in front of the other guests, accuse me of buying my dog's vest (another thing the ADA does not require) off of Amazon, and threatened to call the police. I brought up the rules on the ADA website of what you can and cannot ask, went to the host's desk and demanded to speak to the owner. By that point the manager backed down and seated me. He did not make eye contact, offer to comp my meal, serve or speak to me, for the rest of the evening. (Otherwise, the wait staff was lovely and knowledgeable about service dog issues. We each left our waitress a $20 tip after taking 20% off our meal.) You can read a quick summary of the ADA laws regarding service animals here: https://bit.ly/3vgvRou In short, they clearly state that you are only allowed to ask two questions: 1) if the animal is a service animal due to a disability and 2) what tasks they have been trained to do. They may not ask for documentation (because the requirement does not exist) or require that the dog demonstrate its tasks. I will also mention that my dog was incredibly well-behaved the entire time I was there. I'm writing because I feel this is unacceptable. I would like to know that the restaurant is taking action to make sure this doesn't happen to a service dog handler again. I would also like an apology.
