If you are someone who lives to eat (as opposed to someone who eats to live), you’re always on the lookout for tasty establishments that have a great deal to offer. Everyone has their favorites and there are lots of websites, print publications, and online surveys that rate restaurants on a variety of metrics: presentation, taste, cost, level of service, and so forth. But all of that is highly subjective. We here at OnlyInYourState wouldn’t even dare to begin the task! Instead, we’ve compiled a list of what our readers have said are their top-rated restaurants in Utah, and you’ll find them dotted all over the state. Get your tastebuds ready ‘cause we’re going on a culinary journey that is sure to make you want to get out and stretch your tastebuds a little bit more! (Note: the restaurants on this list are presented in alphabetical order). Enjoy!
