Ruth's Diner

The 23 Best Restaurants In Salt Lake City - Salt Lake City - The Infatuation

"Ruth’s Diner is not your grandma’s breakfast spot. OK, maybe it actually is, since it’s been open since 1930, but the vibe is decidedly non-octogenarian. Built inside a renovated trolley car and located 20 minutes outside the city in Emigration Canyon, the small indoor space means long waits, but they also have a spacious outdoor patio. Every meal starts just how Ruth (the original owner who has since passed away) used to make it: with a biscuit served with housemade fruit preserves. Pair those with pulled pork benedicts, corned beef hash, three-egg omelets, or banana walnut french toast." - jenny willden
