Best Lunch Restaurants in South Jordan

"The Rose Establishment is a fantastic downtown spot for a no-fuss breakfast and one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Salt Lake City with a menu to match. The hip, down-home coffeehouse serves freshly ground and roasted coffees and loose-leaf teas along with a gourmet and cold-pressed sandwich menu, freshly baked bread, pastries, and sweet treats from the in-house bakery, and light breakfast plates such as heirloom tomato toast, smashed avocado tartine, homemade porridge, and melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies. 235 South 400 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101, Phone: 801-990-6270"

"There are warm smells of fresh baked goods, fresh coffee in French presses, coffee being ground for espresso, milk being steamed, a wall of quality teas, and people everywhere. I love The Rose Establishment not only for the coffee, but for the coffee shop atmosphere, an industrial-meets-classic diner feel. I asked the owner, Erica O’Brien, what the baristas recommend to drink or eat, basically what’s good there, and I loved her honest answer."

"Hipsters and artists alike converge on the Rose Establishment, occupying a former lunchtime soup cafe. In the beginning, it only served made-to-order coffee and a few pastries but has grown to encompass a full breakfast and lunch menu, along with its craft coffee drinks. Pastries and baked goods are all made in-house, and the menu is seasonally driven."

"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."

"Even Stevens Sandwiches is a craft-casual restaurant with several locations around the state of Utah that serves serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch in a laidback, relaxed setting. Specializing in the art of the sandwich, the eatery features signature sarmies such as the Jackfruit Torta with jackfruit carnitas, avocado, salsa morita, pepitas, pickled onions, and house vin on a sweet bun, and the Hummazing Vegan with avocado, roasted red pepper hummus, slow-roasted tomato spread, red onion, arugula, and house vin on whole wheat ciabatta. Even Stevens Sandwiches is a sustainable eatery that gives a sandwich to a local non-profit for every sandwich sold, thus sharing their success with the community."

"Red Lotus Bistro opened about three months ago — just as the pandemic kicked into high gear — so the patio at the Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant has always been set up to social distance. Luckily, there’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the charbroiled pork vermicelli noodle salad and a kumquat ginger basil seed refresher. “People feel a lot safer outside than inside,” said manager Anthony Chung, who noted that he hopes to soon add live music to the patio."

"Appropriately named, the Little America Coffee Shop is just that. The family-friendly eatery serves a menu of comfort foods, traditional favorites, and excellent all-day breakfast in a casual and relaxed environment. The made-from-scratch breakfast menu features freshly baked bread, pastries, muffins, and croissants, fresh seasonal fruit bowls, yogurt parfait and Greek yogurt bowls, assorted cereals, and oatmeal, omelets and egg dishes, stacks of pancakes, French toast, and Belgian waffles."

"This is one of those hole-in-the-wall kind of places where, except for a satisfying avocado toast, the focus is squarely on the brews, all of which are sourced right here in the Beehive State from Utah Valley’s Great Basin Coffee Company, tea from Provo’s Grey Mountain Herbs and SLC’s Rock Canyon Elixirs’ kombucha. Pop in for a quick cup to-go or pause for a moment to soak up Rugged Grounds friendly, hipster vibe by taking a seat on one of the stools at the long bar or on the cozy turquoise sofa next to the vintage piano.29 E. 400 South; Monday-Saturday, 7 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sunday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m."

"Fewer know of the Jordan River Park at about 10th South along the river. And fewer still know of the International Peace Gardens within this park. These gardens are a lovely space filled with flowers, trees, bushes, statues, and artful installations, each of which are dedicated to a different part of the world."

"The federal government operated the Utah State Prison here for nearly a century before the city redesigned and repurposed the site as a public park. This giant space has everything you need for a family or community party, a sports event (see: basketball court donated by the Utah Jazz), or just a morning cardio workout—the 1.38-mile road encircling the park features a 16-foot-wide inside lane for walkers, runners, cyclists, roller-bladers, and skate-ski trainers. Set up a picnic near the large, duck-filled pond, or follow the sidewalk on the park’s west edge under 1300 East and explore Hidden Hollow’s meandering paths, native vegetation, and rushing Parley’s Creek."

"Located in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House neighborhood, Sugar House Park is a 110-acre park (the largest park in the city). And this is an ideal place to visit your family and kids. Especially, many people visit this park for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding on hills, and many other winter activities in the winter months."
