Food scene

This was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and was the first place we visited when we moved to Utah. They are often extremely busy but do accept online reservations. Host favorites: Killer Nachos and Tacos don Ramon. Note that they have 2 locations - we prefer #2 due to better parking and a bigger restaurant.

A bit further drive, but totally worth it. We are all about the sides with BBQ and this place has a ton. Host favorites: Red Hot Honey wings, Buffalo chips, hush puppies

This is by far our favorite pizza place and they are very generous with toppings. For a large group, order a 23” - the size is impressive! Host favorites: Mountain of Meat & Cheddar Pull Apart

Comfort food with a Mediterranean flare! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner served all day, and all dinners come with dessert (though you’ll likely want it to-go because portions are quite large!). Host favorites: veal cutlet and hamburger steak.

This is our favorite Thai place in the city - really neat atmosphere and unique presentation of the plates. They tend to run a bit spicy, so order a “0” if you don’t want spice! Host favorites: pineapple fried rice and pumpkin curry.

This is a fun place for individuals and families. The kids will enjoy seeing the bison and antelope, while the adults will enjoy the interesting aspects of touring the homestead and hearing the history about the beginning of antelope island in recent history. It also makes a fun place to hike, bike or mountain bike, with views of the lake, the salt lake valley, and the mountains all along the Wasatch front.

This is a trail that is less than 5 miles away from our residence. It is a wonderful hiking and mountain-biking trail. You can take it for about 3.5 miles to elephant rock or go up to Rudy’s flat (6-7 miles). It is well established and not extreme in intensity. You get some nice views of the mountains and Rudy’s flat gets much closer to the spine of the mountains.

This park is in our neighborhood (you’ll likely want to drive, though!) and has a great playground for kids, walking track, and field. There are great views of the valley from the park and there is a trail that leads up even further for more to see.

This is a fun little resort with very affordable day passes, but their acreage is far less than somewhere like Park City or Powder mountain. Nonetheless, I (Brian) learned to ski there! Definitely a great, affordable option for families.
