The 29 Best Restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah | Eater

"Like many of the businesses on this list, this one started out small, with husband-and-wife duo Hasen (Hoss) Cone and Teri Rosquist selling their freshly juiced limeade at local farmers markets and county fairs. Over time, they expanded their offerings to include from-scratch food and eventually opened a storefront. The menu is inspired by homestyle Texan cuisine from Cone’s upbringing and features local ingredients, hearty salads, and baked-daily biscuits. This popular brunch spot also offers a selection of cocktails that feature spirits from Utah distilleries. Must-try dish: On your first visit, be sure to order the signature Hoss sandwich with crispy fried chicken, bacon, egg, sausage gravy, cheddar cheese, and green onion on a fluffy biscuit." - Sarah Entwistle

First time here food was good a plus for allowing pets in the patio. They brought water for everyone including our dog. He loved his bacon plate. Overall it was great I will come back and try some other items.

First time here on a date with my daughter. We were able to be seated for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Lucky for us. It was nice and slow and plenty of seating. Service was quick and very attentive. Server was good at explaining favorites since it was our first time. Suggestions were fantastic for the drinks , food, and dessert. Limeades were absolutely fantastic and I will describe them as drinks you would have on a cruise ship. They take you to another part of the world that is definitely not Utah. Both of the meals we ordered were smaller yet the portions were significant. Desserts in a biscuit, c’mon man…Why didn’t anybody tell me about this place sooner?

I love Sweet Lake! The limeades are so good I could just chug them down in a few seconds. Raspberry is a favorite for sure. The Hoss is my go to entree. It’s got a but of everything all on one biscuit. Tried the hash bombs which is fried loaded hash browns. They were a unique twist on the already good loaded hash. Would get again!

This was my first time at Sweet Lake and it was great. We got in before the brunch rush ans it was perfect. The food was delicious and not overpriced. I had the Hoss Breakfast plate with a side of loaded hash browns and my daughter ordered the Basic B. Delicious

Our first time at Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade. I ordered the chilaquiles while my girlfriend ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich. Both were extremely filling and delicious!! She wasn't the biggest fan of the cucumber mint lemonade but that was a bit of a risk anyway =D. I would highly recommend checking Sweet Lake and we definitely will be back.

quinoa hash is unique and brilliant - it adds and extra crunch! all of our meals were wonderful and their biscuits really are top notch! Recommend if you’re in the area!!

Sweet Lake is an absolute hidden GEM! Phenomenal service, food, & atmosphere. We ordered the limeade and raspberry orange lemonade and both were delicious. We also tried the hash bombs appetizer, the Hoss, Biscuit Benedict, and the Blueberry Biscuit Bake. You HAVE to try the Blueberry Biscuit Bake and the Biscuit Benedict (add the fried chicken)! So freaking good. The biscuits are buttery soft and the hollandaise sauce on the Benedict is amazing! Love the cute vibe inside too with big windows and natural lighting. Definitely worth going to check out!

First time here...and holy shit it's good. Thick, perfectly cooked biscuits, classic sausage gravy, and huge cuts of bacon. Tanya is a wonderful server and gave great suggestions. Will definitely back with family and friends!

Best breakfast I've ever had... By far. We had plans to go elsewhere but the wait was too long and we ended up here. Best audible ever called. Pancakes were great and the Biscuit Pudding was PHENOMENAL. So good I'm writing this as I finish my last bite. Wife had Garden Benedict and it was the best Benedict I've ever tried. Five stars and cannot recommend enough!

We ordered the Hoss and the My Life is a Mess Burger and they were both BOMB!!!!!! We also got the mint limeade and the orange raspberry limeade, BOTH WERE AMAZING!!! The service was also A1, our server Felipe was very nice and attentive. Next time we visit Utah, we will be making a stop here.

I've been there twice. First time was a good experience. Older woman took our order, made sure she got it right, clarified the cryptic sides, etc. Standard good customer service. I got my burger and hash browns and all was good and tasty. Second visit, I ordered the same burger, wasn't asked about which side I wanted (I assumed that since hash browns came last time, that it would be them again. I didn't know there were multiple options and wasn't told when I ordered). The dish came and the side was tortilla chips and a terrible lime and weeds salsa. I called the waitress over and asked why they changed the side. She said they didn't, that I could have gotten hash browns instead. I said "wait, you didn't mention that when I ordered". She said, "oh". She asked if I wanted hash browns instead, I said yes definitely, thinking all is well, that they were going to recover from the customer service lapse. She came back 5 minutes later with "I'm going to have to charge you for the hash browns, is that ok?" Really? No thanks, on principle. It's not ok to have a customer tell you that the only side they were offered is not only not what they thought they were getting, but is inedible, and when you offer the other side dish, you come back and ask them to pay for it. Obviously a customer service lapse (don't know if the waitress misled the manager or the manager is sacrificing customer service for a few dollars). Weird choices for a small place.

Stopped by for breakfast and got their Hoss with the loaded hash -- both were delicious and filling. They make their biscuits in house I believe and it is soft and buttery! We also enjoy their limeade stand at the farmer's market on the weekends! It's pretty expensive, but it's superrefreshing on a hot day.

The food is DELICIOUS and our server, Filipe, was great. It would receive 5-stars, but I saw some trash on the floor and the prices were exorbitantly high. I loved my raspberry limeade, but it was eight dollars!

Absolutely amazing brunch spot. Delicious meals and incredible limeade! Our server and hostess were so kind and sweet. The hashbrowns were also very filling. I loved the pancakes & fried chicken. Seriously a solid yummy spot to definitely check out.

I went once before and loved it. But then I took my family who were visiting from out of town and it was a serious disappointment. I was embarrassed to bring them there. Sever forgot about us. The flavors on my mom's sandwich were flat!!! My chicken sandwich was way too sweet. The best part was the drinks for sure. It's a shame their other restaurants closed because the inside of this location is by far the least appealing. It's still fine though. I won't be back. This 3 star is a mix of my good experience and this most recent experience.

Decent breakfast spot. Ambiance: Street parking, and small initial store front but they have a pretty large back area for seating. Super cute decor with a fun vibe. Service: I was with a pretty large party, but they were able to seat us quickly despite being busy. Server was also efficient and friendly. Food: Everyone had a variety of things, but the limeaide was sweet and refreshing, the basic B was decent and what you wanted out of a biscuit breakfast sandwich, and the hash bomb was deliciously fried. Overall, nice spot for breakfast!

This brunch was absolutely fantastic. I read the reviews beforehand and saw that they had a biscuit benedict that had pulled pork, ham, and tomato (a Cubano is my favorite sandwich), and my expectations were so far surpassed. My partner had the chilaquiles, at the recommendation of the server, and she kept raving about it the entire brunch. The drinks were good, the service was good, and the spot itself was really nice--including finding parking. There are times where you read Yelp reviews and choose a spot, pick a meal, and it turns out to be disappointing, and then there are times where you have Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade. I could not be more satisfied, impressed, and sad that I live 8 hours away.

Customer service here was fantastic, i'm also impressed by our waitress who took down 4 people's orders + customizations w/o any notes! Parking lot can be a bit tough especially when it's crowded. Recommend getting Hoss - fried chicken biscuit loaded with gravy 4.5/5 Biscuit benedict - 3/5 nothing crazy, thought it was comparable to other benedicts, but maybe user error and should've added the cubano meat to it. Not sure though as $20 for an egg benny is pretty pricey, $16 w/o the cubano meat Def try their limeades, made in house!

Biscuits were really fluffy and buttery. We ordered the Hoss and the Garden Eggs Benedict. Both dishes were very satisfying and filling! I felt that every element of the dish was thought out and meshed well together. The only reason I would give 4 stars is because of the drinks. We ordered the raspberry limeade and honeydew limeade and while the raspberry one was pretty good, the honeydew one had no honeydew flavor and was underwhelming. Both drinks also had a layer of sugar on the bottom so every other sip was just a mouthful of sugar.. The service didn't stand out to me in a good or bad way. Overall, I think I would come back!

Delicious biscuits and delicious limeade! To top it off, the sweetest staff. Loved all of the limeades-- personally liked the mint limeade the best, but my boyfriend liked the cucumber melon the best. The raspberry limeade was also great! Wasn't too hungry so we just got the biscuit bar & my friend got the Hoss. Biscuits are so buttery, rich, but also light and slightly flaky! Loved them with the butter best, since they were so good on their own. The Hoss was great as well-- I really enjoyed the savory gravy with the biscuit. Perfect meal!

We are visiting SLC and needed some breakfast. This place had great reviews so figured we'd try it out. It was delicious. They had a special with breakfast tacos and my husband had the garden hash. Both were very good. Lots of fresh pico and veggies on both. The corn tortillas we soft and chewy (did not taste like basic store bought tortillas). My husband really enjoyed the fresh salsa and hot sauces they have. The other food we saw looked amazing as well! Their biscuits look so fluffy and light! We came early Saturday morning and were able to be seated right away. Food came out quickly. It is not a large restaurant but it's clean and nicely decorated. We'd come back again just to try the biscuits and a limeade

Went for brunch and the food was great! Only gripe was that I ordered my eggs over easy and they came out hard. We loved the loaded fried hashbrowns! Sat outside with my dog - service was good!

Excellent all around meal. Good service creative menu. Get some biscuits to go. The biscuit, Benedict, with cubano meat added and loaded hash Browns is my favorite. Also, try a mint limeade.

I've driven by Sweet Lake a few times, and finally stopped by! A slight downside to this location is the small parking lot. A few people in our group had to search for street parking, which isn't horrible (at least it's free) but it does take time to walk back to the restaurant after parking. Luckily, our (fairly large) group had a bit of a wait, so we were able to go park and come back before we were seated. Also, if you have a larger group (we had 7 people), an 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. Our server was very nice and made sure to point that out to us before we paid for everything on one check. Everyone enjoyed their meals! The workers were super friendly, and let us talk amongst ourselves throughout the meal while still refilling waters and bringing sauces. The garden hash gives you a good helping of food for the $11 price tag.

stopped by for a quick bite on the way to moab and it was the bessst decision. the hoss is IMPOSSIBLE to eat as a sandwich, so i ate in sections and i literally ate every last bite, down to the gravy on the plate. the biscuit is perfection (fluffy and crunchy), the chicken cutlet was juicy, the egg perfectly runny, and the gravy was spiced yet let the sausage sing. so gooood. my only regret is not getting a limeade!

Absolutely delicious! As a Georgia girl I was quite excited to find a good biscuit. These weren't southern biscuits but they were at least house made and not frozen like so many places serve. These weren't southern hash browns though, they were phenomenal! They put quinoa in them which I wasn't too sure about until I tried them. They were so good and didn't need hot sauce but I did have to try the hot sauce they offered and it was great too. I went with the biscuits Benedict and added cubano pork. Everything was better than I could have hoped for. Our server was polite and took great care of us. I didn't try the limeade but it looked good when they served it to another table. They offer covered outdoor seating and indoor seating. All in all I highly recommend this for breakfast or brunch. Prices are a bit high but the food and service were well worth it and the portions were large.

Took a bunch of friends here from out of town. We were a large group on the patio. Our server was excellent. Made great recommendations and kept track of everything we needed. The group unanimously agreed that this was an excellent brunch spot. Such a fun place. I also love getting their limeade at the farmer's market!

Some of the best biscuits I've ever had! I have a huge fascination with southern comfort food and needed to stop by. Love the local diner atmosphere. Amazing staff as well. MINT LIMEADE: So fresh and perfect for summer! And with a sugar-crusted rim. Not too sweet and pleasantly zesty. Though I think they mix the cane sugar very lightly-- a pile settles to the bottom. Just be sure to mix as you drink! SIDE OF BISCUITS: The most flaky, buttery biscuits EVER. These are phenomenal. Tasted fantastic with the butter, jam, and honey. I can't praise these enough. Thankfully we only ordered 2 because these are addictive as hell MOTHER BUTTER CLUCKER (sub bacon for egg): ... Maybe not one of their star dishes. The pancakes were very soggy and dense, even without syrup or butter. Not fluffy or crispy at all. The eggs were fine, very runny. Chicken tasted kind of bland. Maybe me subbing out the bacon took away some of the necessary texture/flavor... My bf loved his Brunch Sandwich though. Saw that they sold frozen biscuits on the side-- wish we could've taken some back to California!

Stopped in at Sweet Lake Biscuits & Limeade last July on my way from the airport to Park City, and let me tell you--this place knows how to do comfort food! First things first: that Fresh Mint Limeade. I could drink it by the gallon, but I'm guessing I'd need to ski a LOT to balance that out. Totally worth it. I hit the Early Bird menu (love a good deal!) and got to try two things: Half Benny - I'm a Benny fanatic (check my other reviews), and this one was solid! The hollandaise had a unique twist--not your standard sauce--but the overall dish leaned a bit on the heavy side, especially with the hash. Sun's Out - Sausage gravy? Yes, please. The grilled tomatoes added a nice brightness, but still a very stick-to-your-ribs meal. Maybe a little green salad on the side would help balance things out? Or maybe this is just the kind of cozy, carb-filled goodness you need when it's freezing outside. Overall, Sweet Lake hits the spot if you're craving hearty, Southern-inspired breakfasts with a twist. Just maybe plan a hike (or a ski run) afterward.

Very friendly and cute spot! I was visiting a friend in SLC and we went here for brunch. I got the cucumber mint limeade and biscuits w/honey and jam. The limeade was really good and refreshing, it wasn't too sour and more like an agua fresca. The biscuits were pretty filling and moist inside but crunchy outside.

I needed a hearty lunch in Salt Lake after visiting the History Museum. I went at 11:30 on a Monday and they were pretty busy. I was by myself and was seated quickly. I started with the raspberry limeade and it was so tasty, I was most impressed by the large amount of raspberries in the drink. It was incredible and something I will crave. I decided on the eggs benedict, it was a great portion size and was just what I needed. It was satisfying and very delicious. If I lived in Salt Lake I would be coming here often.

The food was tasty. I got the Biscuit Benedict which was great (but had very little ham). My girlfriend got a breakfast biscuit (the basic B) and it was just okay. The service was good and the place was cute. Overall, while the food was tasty I felt like we got very little food for the price. The Benedict felt like it needed an add on to be a complete meal.

Wow! We shared hash bombs and sweet lake sliders. Hard to pick a favorite slider but maybe the fried chicken slider? They were all good! Enjoyed the hash bombs with the house limeade ranch dip. Big surprise for me was how much we loved the limeade salsa with the house chips! Can't compare that salsa to anything I have had before but it is amazing!

Thought maybe the first time I went and had a dry biscuit was a one-off. Well the 2nd time I went it was not any better. And the server forgot my coffee order until a half hour into the meal, at which point I didn't even want it anymore. Also my dad was looking forward to good old fashioned hashbrowns, but when they arrived full of quinoa seeds he was a little let down. This place has potential, vibe is cute and trendy, but there's some work to do.

Came at a good time and there was a 5 min wait - raspberry lemonade - 5/5 - to die for with fresh raspberries! - peppermint hot cocoa - 5/5 - I'm actually really upset that I got this. It's the best peppermint hot cocoa I've ever had and I want peppermint hot cocoa everyday now and I've tried purchasing all kinds and nothing even comes close. Next up is attempting to make it the way they did - hoss - 4/5 - extremely Hardy and fulfilling. This is one of those you just need one meal for the day kind of things - loaded hash - 5/5 - definitely loaded. Makes no sense to come here and not get this - bananas bayou - 5/5 - flambe away! This was absolutely delicious! This is a super must if you like bananas even in the slightest We ended up having an oddly longer wait than others around us to get our food and were taken care of in the end

This little restaurant in Utah was super cute. Clearly, they are known for biscuits and limeade so that's exactly what I got. The mint limeade was a liiiiitle tart but mainly sweet because of the cane sugar The mint added a new flavor profile and made the limeade even more refreshing. The hoss came with a house biscuit, buttermilk bath fried chicken breast, an egg, bacon, cheddar, house-made gravy, and green onion. This biscuit was massive but I devoured it. The biscuit was flakey but dense, the egg was perfectly runny, the bacon was amazing, and this chicken had a great flavor. It was the perfect gravy-to-biscuit ratio as well. This is the kind of meal you need to take a nap after.

We decided to stop in here after flying in and I'm glad we did. It is a small restaurant that had a very homey ambiance. The service was also welcoming. We were sat immediately and ordered the San Antone and banana bayou. San Antone - 8/10 Banana bayou - 11/10 (SO GOOD) It's like a banana pudding but elevated.

We were visiting salt lake and stopped by here on our way to the airport on the last day. I absolutely loved my food. There was lots of hollandaise on my Benedict, so many places skimp on it, and the biscuits were delicious. I tried one of the limeades and it was pretty yummy. The service was good. The restaurant I think might have been a converted house, it was small and noisy, but that seems normal for a breakfast place anymore. I wish they had a place in Denver.

It's been years since we ate here. We went on the weekend and it was packed. That's a good sign that they are still doing well. There is a little parking lot in the back but it was full so we ending parking on the street. It's kind of a small place for how popular it is. Maybe 15 tables? The service was great. We got seated right away and got our drinks quickly. I had to try a biscuit and a limeade so I got a Honeydew Cucumber Mint Limeade and a Garden Benedict with the hollandaise on the side. The drink was amazing. They put sugar on the rim. I would go back just for that. I liked that they were able to put the sauce on the side of my benedict so that I could taste everything separately. The biscuits are delicious. I especially liked their red quinoa potato hash browns. It was very flavorful. The rest of the table got the Hoss and the Blueberry Biscuit Cake. The biscuit bake is more like a dessert so I wouldn't get that as a meal next time. I definitely would come back to try more off the menu. More breakfast items, the sandwiches and salads. This place is still really really good after all these years.

Sweet Lake offers a solid menu with a fun twist! Am I still dreaming about the last biscuit I had there? Yes. Do I want to swim in their home made jam? Also, yes. Although chilaquiles is my favorite thing to order at restaurants and Sweet Lake does have a mean chilaquiles their Rodger is my absolute favorite. Whatever you do please order the biscuit. Sweet Lake is a cute an quaint little spot providing excellent food options!

This is a solid place that's got good food and friendly service. It's rather small in terms of supply to demand of seating, so be prepared to wait or also risk getting large parties seated at smaller tables, but don't fret nor get upset, just ask to get reseated and when we did, we went from sharing a table for 2 to a respectable table for 4 with our party of 3... and we saw a lot of other groups seated tightly a bit disgruntled. So, just "ask" your server, the worst they can say is "no" and the best they can do is accommodate your request, and in-between maybe if they can't they'll throw you a few complimentary biscuits or limeade. The menu is diverse and delicious. We came from out of town and heard about this place, it's close enough to the airport where this was our destination dining upon landing.

I am a dreamer. The issue with that is I can imagine the perfect scenario and then be let down. Like the first time I put on leggings. I had imagined looking athletic and cool. I ended up looking like freshly stuffed sausage. Or the time I tried baby bangs imagining I'd be adorable and sexy, but ended up looking like Andy Warhol. A week ago I was driving from the SLC airport and passed Sweet Lake Biscuits and Limeade. There were tons of people waiting for a table. Literally, spilling out into the lawn where a cornhole board was set up. I thought to myself, they must have some good food and it seems like a fun place. I looked it up on Yelp and the food pictures were stunning. The next morning I tried to get in, but the wait was too long. Fast-forward to now, the end of my trip, which I carefully arranged so that I could go to Sweet Lake for a late lunch. I figured if I went at 2 o'clock, it wouldn't be very busy. It wasn't. Perfect. I had all week to imagine how delicious this was going to be. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good limeade. I got in fast but took about 10 minutes to clean off my table. No big deal, I was excited because I had dreamt about how wonderful this was going to be. I ordered the Biscuit Benedict and added the Cubano Meat. It came with a side of red quinoa and potato hash. I also ordered a cucumber mint limeade, as recommended by the server. My food arrived quick. It looked good on the plate, everything I had envisioned. I started with the hash. Nope. Mushy - and no flavor. Zip, zilch. After another bite I loaded it with salt and ketchup. Which is a sad thing to do to any food. I took 2 more bites and quit. The poached eggs on the Benedict were perfection. There was a large slice of tomato that didn't need to be there. It added nothing. The Cubano meat was killer. Soft tender pot roast, but no extraordinary flavor. The hollandaise sauce looked beautiful, but had no flavor - zip- zilch. A few bites in and my Limeade finally arrived ( there were approx 3 other tables, it was not busy). I was informed that they had run out of that kind of limeade and they had to make a fresh batch. I had put the order in for my drink long before my food came so I don't understand why that took so long but, that's not my main issue. The drink was stunning. Crowned with large sprig of mint that sat beside a lime wedge. The glass was rimmed with sugar and I could see sexy little lime zest floating in the glass. Yes, I said sexy. I was so ready for my first sip. I had imagined it all week. What I expected was a tart lime flavor, with a mellow cucumber flavor beneath it, curbing the tartness of the lime,, and in the background that lovely, fragrant mint dancing on my tongue. What I got was a watery cucumber flavor with a little lime in the background and a hint of mint. I didn't finish it. I drank about half, it was still refreshing. But what a bummer. The concept of this place is stellar. So stellar that I'm going to tell a friend of mine who likes to start trendy food places in the Midwest. We would never copy- but the idea is a good springboard. Feel free to flip through the pictures on the Sweet Lake Biscuit and Limeade Yelp page. They're beautiful. But remember they're just pictures. They're good to look at, but what matters is taste and with that said I'm not popping back in anytime soon when I come to Salt Lake City. Just my imagination, running away with me. Just my imagination running away with me.

I think the quality has gone down? I've been here several times over the last 5+ years and each time it's been great. Perhaps this morning the kitchen was off? The hash came out cold, cheese on the Garden scramble looked like it was under the heating lights longer than anticipated, limemade was way too minty, they forgot my maple syrup and the fried chicken on the pancake butter dish was something out of a frozen box. Not sure I'll be coming back. Sweet Lake had its time.

Was a must try for breakfast while searching for a fun little pit stop in Utah! Amazing service so great food. Note , if you do not enjoy floppy bacon, please ask for your stuff to be extra crispy, we learned that the hard way for picky toddlers. The rest of the food was amazing. We had the mama's pancakes (crispy, flakey, and buttery) , the plain biscuit, and a biscuit sandwich, and their scrambled eggs were amazing. The hash has quinoa and some chives and green onions. Such great flavor! Must try in Salt Lake!

Great spot for brunch! The menu seems a bit pricey, but the portion sizes were good and the food was delicious. I went during the busy brunch hour so service was on the slower side, but the waiter was very gracious about it while we waited. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but be warned- there is no heating/AC outside so you might have to brave SLC temperatures out there.

We found Sweet Lake Biscuits while looking for a breakfast place. Cool place, easy to find, and street parking is available. We were seated quickly and the waiter took our order pretty fast. We ordered a raspberry limeade and it was fresh and delicious. I ordered the sliders and the hash. The sliders were one of each of burger, fried chicken and pulled pork. The hash was delicious and with their green sauce was even better. My favorite was the chicken and burger. The pulled pork was good, but I've had better. I'm sure ok the slider it is tough to get the full taste of the pulled pork with the sauce. We will be back when we return to SLC!

I am floored by how delicious this place is. The food is delicious and bursts with flavor. The sandwich I got was huge, and the gravy it came with was the best gravy I've had. The service was magnificent, providing recommendations upon request and checking on us a decent amount. The ambiance is lively with tables for indoor and outdoor seating. This isn't a large restaurant, so if you arrive on a weekday morning, you might have to wait a bit. They are dog friendly, which is a huge plus for me. Additionally, you can also join the waitlist on Yelp to make your wait faster.

Yum! For one of the best Egg Benedicts of your life, Sweet Lake Biscuits has got you covered. Of course, you need to get some Raspberry Limeade to wash it all down. I'll have to try the fried chicken next time. I came around opening, so there wasn't a problem getting a table for just myself. Prices are fair and the service was great! I highly recommend this breakfast joint if you're exploring SLC for the best eats.

Three of us came in for a late lunch. We all had a great meal. I ordered the Utah Cobb salad and raspberry limeaid. My friends had eggs Benedict. Fabulous!!! The service was terrific, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend!

Walked over a mile and a half to this place while visiting Salt Lake City. Was it worth the walk? Well duh. One word, Limeaid. The limeaid is delicious here. And I mean super duper delicious. Wife had the biscuits Benedict with hash and I had the Hoss. The Benedict was cooked perfectly with runny yolks and delicious bernaise sauce. I'm not a huge biscuit guy as I find them to be dry, but these were pretty tasty. The Hoss was good, everything was a little over cooked in my opinion, but it was still delicious nonetheless. The service here was good, the establishment was clean and well kept and has an industrial feel about it inside. The place was packed the entire time we were here. And we were killing time before the long walk back and we had a later flight that day and were checked out of the hotel already. A must try spot when in Salt Lake City for breakfast.

Food was great. Loved the gravy that came with Hoss. Portion sizes are huge! Coffee is basic

Very disappointed. The food looked the part, but tasted completely bland and was on the colder side of luke warm. We were excited when the food came out really quick but given the low temp of our dishes we surmised that most, if not all of the ingredients were already prepared and just assembled to create the dish. I had the Hoss, in some of the pictures you see a nice, thick chicken breast but they've definitely moved away from that to something much thinner (and likely cheaper). Like I said before, aesthetically it looked decent but the dish itself left so much to be desired. My fiancé had the garden benedict. Again her dish was uninspiring, lacked salt to make what little flavors that were there pop. Also her hash browns had quinoa mixed in, we get that it's a health conscious dish but overall it just made the texture weird.

We were in the hunt for a great breakfast/brunch spot and Yelp served us up Sweet Lake Biscuits and Limeade, and what a good choice it was. About a 10 minute ride from where we were in downtown, we arrived at 11:36am on a Sunday and it was packed with a big crowd waiting. Even with the crowd is only took about 20-30 minutes to get a table for 4. The restaurant itself is pretty basic, but it doesn't need much more. We started off with some mimosas which were very tasty especially with the fruit added. There was a great Yelp perk when we went for a free biscuit and jam when you check in. Two of us ordered the Hoss sandwich which is a sandwich made with their House biscuit with buttermilk fried chicken, topped with an egg, bacon, cheddar, with a sausage gravy. It was really good, but sooo filling. A friend ordered the chilaquiles which she said was super good, and another friend for the biscuit Benedict with the added Cubano meat which looked incredible. I got to try a little of the meat and it was so good. Plus all of the dishes were large but the biscuit Benedict with the Cubano meat was huge! If you are considering trying it out, definitely do! And be ready to bring some home!
