When you think of all-you-can-eat buffets, you probably picture bowls of limp lettuce and gluey macaroni salad. Here's a restaurant that serves diners buffet-style, and it's a far cry from those chain places.
For a buffet dining experience that offers gourmet food with a killer city view, visit The Roof. It's located in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in downtown Salt Lake City.
Head up to the 10th floor for the entrance to the restaurant.
The Roof is well-known for its views of the city and the LDS temple that's right across the street.
You're never going to find ambiance like this at a typical Utah buffet restaurant.
Instead of the clatter and noise, you'll enjoy soft piano music playing in the background while you dine.
The Lion House rolls will change your life. Forget that no-carb diet; you can start that tomorrow. Tonight, try to stick to just two or three of these little gems.
The salad bar has plenty of fresh, crisp ingredients for the perfect start to your meal.
Snack on the imported and domestic cheese and crackers.
Ask the chef to carve you up some slow-roasted prime rib and honey-baked ham.
If you love seafood, you'll want to check out the cold poached salmon, crab legs and chilled shrimp.
Try a little bit of everything; you can go back as often as you'd like.
After all that delicious dinner, you might be tempted to skip dessert. Trust me, you'll want to have at least a couple bites; the homemade desserts are divine.
Visit The Roof for dinner Monday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to Close. For more information, or to make a dinner reservation, visit The Roof's website. Now that it's summer, you might be thinking about patio dining. This is one of the best places in the state to try - it's a hidden oasis in the city.
