Here are the 15 Most Highly-Rated Restaurants in Utah. They’re Amazing.
Rating restaurants is a highly subjective undertaking – I wouldn’t even dare to begin the task! Instead, I’ve relied on the popular consumer rating site, Yelp to determine 15 of Utah’s most highly-rated restaurants.
If we only looked at restaurants with the highest stars and largest number of reviews, our entire list would consist of Salt Lake City area restaurants. This makes sense, because the Salt Lake Valley constitutes more than one third of Utah’s population and contains the largest number of restaurants. I stuck to the top two restaurants in Salt Lake City – the only two with more than 1,000 ratings.
Since this is Only in Utah, NOT Only in Salt Lake City, I found restaurants in other parts of the state that were ranked highest on Yelp in their area. I only chose establishments with at least 125 ratings and a minimum of 4 stars. This list is alphabetical.
Bombay House also ranks well in Salt Lake City. You'll find all the classic dishes at this location, too. 4.5 stars, 257 reviews. 463 N University Avenue, Provo.
Visitors to Moab can't stop raving about Eklecticafe. The coffee is exceptional, and the breakfast offerings are to die for. 4.5 stars, 323 reviews. 352 N Main Street, Moab.
Herm's is a popular spot, so plan to wait a bit for a table. Don't miss the mac n cheese - they make different versions every day. 4.5 stars, 152 reviews. 1435 E Canyon Road, Logan.
In addition to their large variety of whiskey, the food is amazing. Try the chicken pot pie - their speciality. 4 stars, 768 reviews. 703 Park Avenue, Park City.
Red Iguana might be the most popular Mexican restaurant in the country! You'll wait for a table, but the mole is worth it. 4.5 stars, 1785 reviews. 736 W N Temple, Salt Lake City.
In addition to the great atmosphere and tasty pizza, you'll find a nice selection of craft beers here. 4 stars, 212 reviews. 1895 Washington Blvd, Ogden.
Sill's offers delicious diner food at a great price. The scones are amazing! 4 stars, 165 reviews. 335 E Gentile Street, Layton.
This data was compiled from Yelp on March 29, 2016. It’s constantly changing, so you may find slightly different numbers if you look at the site today. I know that this list is nowhere near comprehensive. Does it include your favorite restaurant?
