It’s pretty easy to find an amazing restaurant along the Wasatch Front – you’ll find literally thousands of Utah-owned cafes, restaurants, delis and more from Provo to Ogden. It’s a little harder to find good eats in some of Utah’s small towns, but it’s certainly still possible. Here are 15 restaurants in Utah’s small towns that are simply amazing.
Visiting Arshel’s Cafe in Beaver is like taking a step back in time...maybe to the 1960s. Not only are you eating in a retro restaurant, the food is REAL food (back before everything had corn syrup added to it). Don’t miss the pie. 711 N. Main Street, Beaver.

Cluff’s Carhop Cafe opened its doors in 1950, and it still has that '50s vibe. I’d love to recommend the best menu item, but I can’t - everything is good! 270 N Main Street, Fillmore.
