Best Family Restaurants in South Jordan

"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"

"Penny Ann’s Cafe is a family-run restaurant, which creates a homey, comforting atmosphere. The menu is comprised of Italian-American dishes and the atmosphere is somewhere in between a diner and a cafe. The items are traditional and no-frills, but are made with exceptional attention to detail and with top quality ingredients."

"Just across the street from Pioneer Park on 300 south lies Bruges Waffles & Frites, unquestionably one of the best spots for a decadently sweet treat in downtown Salt Lake City. Bruges has a variety of menu items but are best known for the liege waffles. You can enjoy your waffle with a variety of toppings but my standby’s are always crème fraîche and seasonal fruit (usually raspberries or peaches in the summer)!"

"Born in the restaurant's namesake city, Bruges, Belgium, owner Pierre Vandamme brought with him Belgium's famous yeast-raised Liege waffles. Endowed with the traditional sugar pearls in the dough, these waffles are served hot and eaten with the toppings of your choice: creme fraiche, Belgian chocolate sauce, various berries, crunchy speculoos spread or vanilla bean ice cream."

"We’ve partnered with around 80 places that offer Fast Food delivery in Salt Lake City, like Tonyburgers in Central City."

"The Left Fork Grill is a simple, unpretentious diner with an old-school feel that serves American comfort food, breakfast specials, and freshly baked homemade pies. Boasting a clean, modern interior with friendly, competent, and enthusiastic service, the restaurant has an enticing menu, which features interesting takes on classics such as fried eggs on sourdough toast, meatloaf sandwiches with coleslaw, grilled cheese and ham, egg scrambles, pancakes and waffles, and eggy French toast. The Left Fork Grill is renowned for their mouthwatering homemade pies, which have light, flaky, buttery crusts and beautifully made fillings, ranging from apple pie, served with a slice of cheese on the side, and a dark, intense blueberry pie packed with whole berries."

"A family friendly museum at Thanksgiving Point. Prehistoric life is on display with exhibits on dinosaurs and aquatic life, lots of interactive exhibits that teach about fossils found all over the world, and a 3D theater. Little ones can dig for their own bones, dress up a dinosaur and play in a watery Silurian reef."

"Passion Flour is a cute little patisserie and coffee shop with endless offerings of vegan desserts. We recommend their s’mores pop tart, with its flaky, buttery crust and dark chocolate filling. We always mean to take just a few bites, but the whole thing is gone before we know it."

"This spot is a bakery and cafe, so they do have a menu for savory entrees. With brunch on weekends, served until 4 pm, you’ll want to get in at least before 3 pm unless you want your dreams dashed by being told what’s sold out. It’s a popular spot."

"Note: CoffeeLab has closed, but the owner is working on his next wildly-inspired undertaking. Austin Wright is a queer photographer and writer based in Salt Lake City, but born and raised in Texas."

"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."

"All Chay makes our guide for the best vegan restaurants in SLC for their exclusively vegan Vietnamese menu. We especially love their Five Spice Bahn Mi, a vegan Vietnamese sandwich packed with five-spice bean curd that’s sauteed with their delicious house sauce, vegan mayo, cucumber, cilantro, and soy sauce. It’s truly to die for!"
