Best Diners in South Jordan

"Although the vintage Salt Lake City trolley car is the showpiece of Ruth’s Diner, the patio is the heartbeat of the Emigration Canyon restaurant, offering the best seats. “You get mountain views with a beautiful box elder tree, string lights,” said Patrick McIver, general manager. “The live music, of course, helps, and each musician brings a different atmosphere."

"The food is delicious here, and the environment is fantastic with live music on a nice summer evening outside. We had a big group but Derek did a phenomenal... (801) 582-5807Order online"

"Penny Ann’s Cafe is a family-run restaurant, which creates a homey, comforting atmosphere. The menu is comprised of Italian-American dishes and the atmosphere is somewhere in between a diner and a cafe. The items are traditional and no-frills, but are made with exceptional attention to detail and with top quality ingredients."

"One of SLC’s newest restaurant’s, not to mention one with a fine pedigree behind it. This modern spin on the classic all American diner, comes from Scott Evans, the chap behind farm to table pioneer Pago and the Spanish focused Finca restaurants. Like Evan’s other restaurants the focus is on high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients as the basis of the menu."

"Hub and Spoke is a great diner by the same creators at Finca, Pago, and East Liberty Tap House serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner 7 days each week. It’s a great spot for comfort food items, in particular their breakfast menu. Order the crab salad eggs benedict for something you can’t find anywhere else or the kentucky hot brown."

"Brunch daily, breakfast all day, pancakes, mimosas, cocktails, top notch service with high quality food. We have everything from a traditional 2 egg breakfast to shrimp and grits to vegan skillet, plus milkshakes, boozy milkshakes, pies and pastries. We have many gluten free options as well as...Mehr"

"Rye is a posh American restaurant housed where the old Al Forno’s Italian restaurant used to sit on 500 East in Salt Lake City. This breakfast, lunch, and dinner location hosts a delicious menu full of classic American favorites with a modern Asian-fusion twist. I’m head over heels for the brioche french toast with lemon curd and the pork belly breakfast bowl served with tooele farms pork belly, rice, house kimchi, green onion, and a basted egg."

"Call it a modern diner, with a spare look and locally sourced supplies. For an outing with friends it's satisfying and cheap enough. Think fried chicken and waffles, truffled mac and cheese or vegan burgers...."

"Just across the street from Pioneer Park on 300 south lies Bruges Waffles & Frites, unquestionably one of the best spots for a decadently sweet treat in downtown Salt Lake City. Bruges has a variety of menu items but are best known for the liege waffles. You can enjoy your waffle with a variety of toppings but my standby’s are always crème fraîche and seasonal fruit (usually raspberries or peaches in the summer)!"

"Born in the restaurant's namesake city, Bruges, Belgium, owner Pierre Vandamme brought with him Belgium's famous yeast-raised Liege waffles. Endowed with the traditional sugar pearls in the dough, these waffles are served hot and eaten with the toppings of your choice: creme fraiche, Belgian chocolate sauce, various berries, crunchy speculoos spread or vanilla bean ice cream."

"Clark Planetarium is Salt Lake City's new planetarium building, opened to the public in 2003 to replace the city's historic Hansen Planetarium. The downtown planetarium facility showcases the nation's first pitless digital planetarium dome and offers 190 seats with individual interactive console controls, along with a certified IMAX large-screen theater showcasing nature and science films. Though planetarium and IMAX showings require a ticketed upcharge, visitors can explore the planetarium's museum for free, which offers three levels of exhibits dedicated to the earth, the solar system, and deep space."

"Original photograph Mike Murray, composited with public domain nebula from NASA. The Clark Planetarium is a wonderful and fun educational location that is among the best things to do in Salt Lake City, Utah. Over 10,000 square feet of ground throughout the spot offer countless multidimensional exhibits and lots of activities to take part in."

"The star shows and IMAX theater at the Clark Planetarium aren't free, but the planetarium does have a number of free exhibits that are interesting and worth a look, especially if you're in the area."

"My son took me to breakfast at Finn’s during his freshman year at the University of Utah or I would never have stumbled upon it on my own. Finn’s was established in 1952. I’m not sure when it shut down, but in 2006, Finn Jr. opened the restaurant in this current Sugarhouse location and brought the cool original neon sign with him."

"Passion Flour is a cute little patisserie and coffee shop with endless offerings of vegan desserts. We recommend their s’mores pop tart, with its flaky, buttery crust and dark chocolate filling. We always mean to take just a few bites, but the whole thing is gone before we know it."

"This spot is a bakery and cafe, so they do have a menu for savory entrees. With brunch on weekends, served until 4 pm, you’ll want to get in at least before 3 pm unless you want your dreams dashed by being told what’s sold out. It’s a popular spot."

"Note: CoffeeLab has closed, but the owner is working on his next wildly-inspired undertaking. Austin Wright is a queer photographer and writer based in Salt Lake City, but born and raised in Texas."
