Best Dinner Places to Eat in South Jordan

"This sophisticated-but-unstuffy sanctuary on Main Street is justifiably one of the hottest spots in town—you'll need a reservation. But if Riverhorse offers big-city style, it’s still ski town small in its laidback, welcoming demeanor. Here’s a tip: the more sedate-but-chic upstairs bar is first-come, first-served, and service is every bit as friendly."

"Located at the top of Historic Main Street, Riverhorse Provisions – the sister restaurant of Riverhorse on Main – features a gourmet menu in a relaxed grocery café setting. Choose from the Provisions Buffalo Burger, or the Provisions Wrap if you’re in the mood for something lighter. If you’re craving breakfast, you’re in luck – it’s served all day."

"Utahns may disagree on religion, politics, and which ski resort is the best, but we all know where to find the most authentic Mexican cuisine in town: Red Iguana. Owned and operated by the same Mexican family since 1985, Red Iguana’s a lauded Salt Lake institution where lines often form outside its two locations (which are right around the corner from one another). Everything is good, but the seven signature Oaxacan moles made with dried and fresh chiles, nuts, herbs, spices, fruit, and Mexican chocolate mixed with meat are Red Iguana’s claim to fame."

"Billed as an American restaurant, this culinary anchor of downtown SLC is American in the truest sense of the term: a cultural mosaic. The menu sports everything from Italian (Cacio e Pepe with housemade fettuccine) and Spanish (Patatas Bravas) to Indian (Saag Paneer), which isn’t surprising when you consider chef/owner Ryan Lowder’s globetrotting background. A Utah native, Lowder has cooked the world around, from New York to Barcelona."

"Adjacent to Salt Lake's arthouse cinema is the best new restaurant in the city in the past decade. Chef Ryan Lowder dazzles with the basics...Read More"

"A tranquil getaway just on the edges of bustling downtown SLC makes this a great option to refuel and recharge in peace and quiet. Breakfast and brunch are served 7 days a week until 2 p.m. both inside the zen like space and outside on the pretty patio on warmer days."

"The Copper Onion is one of the new additions to the growing Utah foodie scene. Former NYC chef (and native Utahan) Ryan Lowder now brings his personal take on New American cuisine to his own kitchen with an approach inspired by his passion for Utah's outstanding farmstead ingredients and his experience as a chef cooking his way through Barcelona, NYC and South America. The Copper Onion serves a wide array of vegetable side dishes and a menu designed to explore and share, with plates such as Ricotta dumplings with lemon, sage and brown butter and Braised Pork Belly with shaved Brussels sprouts and pickled celeriac."

"Thanks to a street numbering system established by the city’s founders in the 1870s, all roads in Salt Lake City lead to Temple Square (the historical heart of the Mormon Church) but luckily, so do the watering holes, arranged in a convenient loop just two blocks south. Utah has a complicated relationship with alcohol. It’s an understatement to say that liquor laws here are strict; Utah was the first state in the U.S. to lower its DUI threshold from .08 to .05, and every bar is required to use an alcohol-dispensing spigot that helps control every pour."

"Helmed by chef/owners who have previously been awarded Bon Appétit’s “Best New Restaurant,” Copper Common offers a warm, energetic and hip vibe like its adjacent sister restaurant, The Copper Onion. Copper Common offers a full bar with an emphasis on superb, seasonal craft cocktails, plus an inventive menu highlighting local ingredients and American fare."

"I’ll never forget the first time my BFF introduced me to Cubby’s in Utah County!. It’s a great fast casual if you love Italian beef whether it’s on their famous tri-tip steak salad (my personal favorite), homemade burgers, or delicious sandwiches. Cubby’s has exploded in the Utah County and the Salt Lake valley."

"The Garden Restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City, is located in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on its 10th floor. This restaurant’s interior regal elegance is immediately evident in its stain glass ceiling, Greek style columns, and views of the Salt Lake Temple. The outside dining area is equally elegant with white furniture, an Atrium style roof, and a trickling water fountain – an ideal setting for a romantic evening."

"A post shared by Liz Elliott (@familyfoodroots) on Mar 10, 2019 at 8:31pm PDT. Enjoy your food with stunning views of Temple Square and Downtown Salt Lake City at this eatery. Located on the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, guests will love the delightful and varied menu items prepared by their expert chefs."

"there's a breakfast buffet with freshly baked pastries and made-to-order entrees. Start light with housemade granola and low-fat yogurt, or Irish oatmeal with a drizzle of Vermont maple syrup. Or, for something that'll really stick to your ribs, opt for huevos rancheros or an omelet filled with house-smoked salmon."

"Get your group on the city bus early to Deer Valley’s Snow Park Restaurant (2250 Deer Valley Dr S, 435.645.6520), where the breakfast options range from oatmeal and made-to-order eggs to the must-have cinnamon challah French toast served with banana butter and Vermont maple syrup. Kids lessons or all together, now"

"Like a lot of places in SLC, Saltfire mostly sells their beers in cans and bottles, but they recently opened up a tasting room!. We got a few suggestions from local bartenders about which to try and we were very pleased with them. The first, and most commonly suggested, was The Smiths-inspired Frankly Mr. Shankly IPA. It was not a pain in the a**, as Morrisey says; instead it was a very balanced grapefruity IPA."

"Like many of the Salt Lake breweries in this guide, Salt Fire was born out of a home brewing operation. They bring a quirky attitude to their brewery, calling themselves “zymotic transcendentalists” who “blur the lines in the sand”. They are currently brewing two kinds of IPA, a pils, blonde ale, saison and a stout."

"One of the southside breweries in Salt Lake City, Level Crossing uses their beer as the medium for sharing their passion and life experiences. Due to Utah’s 5% ABV limit law, we weren’t able to taste some of their higher-point beers like the Astro Shake milkshake double IPA or the Suss It Out rye IPA as these were only available in to-go cans. Remember, we have VERY limited space in our RV for beer storage!"

"At Level Crossing, the priorities, according to the brewery’s website, are passion and camaraderie; seems like a good mantra for a highly social setting like a pub. Level Crossing offers eight year-round beer staples in addition to a monthly special. The starry skies of warmer months seem to be a thread for the current and future special offerings."

"Level Crossing is one of the newest additions to the collection of SLC breweries. They have styled themselves as a friendly South Salt Lake neighborhood bar, complete with weekly music and outdoor games. Their beers tend toward lighter ales and IPA but they do carry a stout and some reds."

"I am insanely picky when it comes to Chinese restaurants because a lot of them are just okay. Ordered some take out and was incredibly surprised and deli..."

"With its warm, burnished interiors and soothing decor, Log Haven is a perfect place to dine - even moreso if you're celebrating a special occasion. Nestled among pine trees, waterfalls, and beautiful landscaping, the well-regarded restaurant serves New American cuisine like coriander-rubbed ahi tuna, mustard-crusted duck, and sage-tinged pastas. Also keep an eye out for bison and veal bolognese sauce over homemade pappardelle, porcini-dusted diver scallops, and pan-roasted rabbit with wild mushrooms and madeira."

"Tucked into Mill Creek Canyon, Log Haven’s patio stands out for its winding drive, scenic views, mountain air and woodland acoustics. “The best feature is just the all-in-all ambience with the waterfall flowing right down to the patio, the view of the mountains across the street, all the foliage,” said Ian Campbell, co-owner and general manager. “It’s just idyllic."

"Top of our fine dining list is one of the very best restaurants in all of Utah, perhaps even the greater mountain West. Located just four scenic miles up idyllic Millcreek canyon you’ll find the spectacular Log Haven restaurant. Chef Dave Jones’ menu embraces the rustic mountain setting with a dash of Southwestern spice and flair."
