Be aware of a $3 charge for an extra plate! We used to go to criddles all the time when living near by. It was the perfect breakfast place - quick and always good. When looking for a breakfast place, this little cafe always comes to mind. Last time we went they added a $3 charge for an extra plate. My kids shared a meal and I had to pay a charge for a freaking plate! Your kids menus are not as complete as a full meal, I don't just want a pancake or just 1 egg. So let me have my kids share a meal without charging me $3 for a plate! This actually made me not want to go back. read more

I have become a regular here with a group of friends for almost a year now, and they have provided excellent service and delicious food each and every time! And though the group I come with goes only once a month, it has become something to look towards the great environment and good times at the table. read more

Holy cow, never had an omelet made that fast be that friggin good. Cowboy omelet; get it with a scone. It's wonderful. Good, solid, priced right classic diner breakfast. The last of the old school in Northern Utah. read more

Ogden's version of the old Doug & Emmy's. Has a similar breakfast to the "Dale's" and the scones are just as great. Wish their hours weren't so limited so that I (and probably a whole lot of other people) could eat there more often read more

Good food, huge portions. Little dive, doesn't look like much, but good. I ordered the fritter which seemed like a scone. Very sweet.

Quick service from staff and filling food here! Their scones with honey butter are pretty good too read more

Criddle's Cafe - French toast - Cafes Near Me - South Ogden, Utah

Good food,cheap price's, excellent service nice little hidden place for locals. No screaming kids

I've always had wonderful service. Food is served fresh, hot and delicious. I like how it's a small town feeling in the café.

I was kinda worried when I drove up and there wasn't a car in sight. But, I did show up at an odd time. It wasn't breakfast, brunch, or lunch time, more of a "I'm hungry in the middle of the day because I skipped breakfast" kinda meal. So I decided to ignore the vacant parking lot and brave the empty diner alone. The restaurant was very clean, the staff was very welcoming and friendly, and the food was very good! I ended up having the SOS hash browns (which the server explained was a hamburger gravy served over hash, but you could order it on the side too). I usually order a side of gravy to pour over my hash browns anyways, so I was quite pleased with this. I also ordered a side of their pancakes, which ended up being pretty darn tasty. Probably the most pleasant surprise about the whole thing was the coffee. Actual drinkable coffee at a diner in Utah? Inconceivable. read more

Best little restaurant you will ever dine! Delicious food with great service. Large, tasty servings.

Aloha Omlet, Apple Fritter. I had eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy along with a scone. $.79 extra for a tiny cup of honey? Trying to modify anything on the menu is pretty much a bust. If you want to change anything be ready to pay for it. Not sure if they charge extra for all condiments, but I wanted honey on the giant scone & it cost me 79 cents for what amounted to a tablespoon. Crazy if you ask me. I guess the bottom line is, the menu items aren't many & only one came close to what I wanted. The scones are probably the best part of the meal. The Aloha Omlet was stuffed with filling that proved to have ham & cheese as well as pineapple in every bite. The eggs, were average. The biscuits & gravy were a bit bland. The sausage was an unflavored piece of meat. The Apple Fritter wasn't crispy like it should have been. The taste was fine but a really good fritter has a crispy crust. The service was satisfactory. There are better places to eat & I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

A very busy place but great, fast service , good food and it's hot when delivered(one of my pet peeves) I like my hot food hot. All the coffee refills you want although they could upgrade in this department. The scones and cinnamon rolls are huge! Great place to eat! One of our favorites!!! I give them a four star! read more

While on the hunt for a brunch spot, we noticed Criddle's was just down the block. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and our food arrived no later than 10 minutes after ordering! As a pancake fanatic, this joint has some delicious cakes. read more

Anything short of 5 starts is laughable. I don't even like breakfast food but wow. Something is so different about even just their eggs and bacon. And that honey butter!! OMG. Prices are amazing. Service is wonderful. I come here and feel home. Thanks for everything read more

We absolutely love Criddle's Cafe!!! Their breakfast on the weekend hit the spot. It has an old diner vibe that can't be beat. Try their scones. read more

Couldn't even get a waitress to help us. Waited ten minutes and ended up leaving. Avoid this place if you value time.

What a fantastic find! I'm not up in this neck of the woods often let alone in the morning. Criddle's looks unimpressive from the outside but inside it's clean and the staff are very friendly. Gives off a hometown cafe type of feel. The food is quick, simple and good. The gravy has decent flavor to it and like everything else there, homemade. Bacon is thick and cooked the way you like it. And as others have mentioned, the scone is huge. I just wish it came with honey. Also, they do a fair amount of take out orders. read more

Criddle's Cafe - Boss's Breakfast. Good gravy. - Cafes Near Me - South Ogden, Utah

My roommates and I were on our way to Oregon from Wyoming and needed a pit-stop for a quick meal. Upon our arrival we were immediately enchanted by everything about the place: employees, decor, and of course the food. My my my the food. We ordered The Boss Breakfast, The Hawaiian Omelette, and the Vegetarian Omelette between the three of us and within 5 minutes after ordering we had our food delivered to us with a bright and loving smile by our lovely waitress. All three of us couldn't stop ranting about how great each meal was, especially the scones (not your average scone, I won't spoil the surprise by going into detail so just order it, you won't be disappointed). I would post pictures but it was so good we didn't take the time to slow down to take one. If you want a fast, tasty meal, this is your spot! read more

Based on Yelp reviews we decided to try this place. Upon entering we were greeting by a bright cheerful girl who also was our waitress. The decor is rustic country. It was very clean and they were following Covid guideline. Our coffee was served quickly, unfortunately the first cup was lukewarm and old tasting. Our kind waitress fixed that issue with a fresh hot pot. We ordered the Emmys breakfast and a 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy with a side of Hash Browns. Our food came quickly fresh and hot. The gravy over the hash browns had a nice spicy kick to it, it was very satisfying. The gravy over the biscuits was a plain sausage gravy, not the greatest but not the worst. It was hot and edible. The biscuits were really disappointing, we could tell they are a bought product not homemade, they were dry and crumbly, not appetizing at all. A little hot sauce and down they went. The scone was very good, fried doughy, chew with yummy honey butter, it was better than other places in northern Utah. Yes I would go back, but I would not order the biscuits. Service alone was impeccable! read more

This is your local breakfast joint where you have a bunch of regulars and consistently good food. Amazing, huge scones!

I'm town for work and this place came highly recommended by. We stopped in on a Friday and they had a giant line. So we came back during the week. Got in immediately, staff was friendly, food came out so fast and hot. Waitress and hostess were so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. I got a cheese omelette, hash browns and the scone! Do yourself a favor and get the scones, it comes with a giant scoop of whipped butter, AMAZING!!!!!!! read more

Hold on to your handcarts, Ogden. I've found the quintessential Utah scone. If you're from out of state, your scone may not be our scone, but this thing is delicious and it's gigantic. It was the size of a plate and came with enough honey butter to fill a small pool. Criddle's has classic breakfast food. The menu is small compared to some diners/breakfast joints, but what they do serve, they serve right. The service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and I got my food quick. read more

Good food, great service. Good place to bring your kids. I also noticed that they're very kind to senior citizens.

This little hole in the ground café is just like a restaurant in layton called Sills! I love the SOS I definitely will be coming back

Great find between doctor appointments. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good and plentiful. My husband and I both had omelets, veggie and Denver. Some of the booth seating could use attention. Overall we enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to go again when back in Utah. read more

Always Nice and always good food!! Love their scones. Wish they were open longer. Nice staff!!!

Just great food! Not fancy just good old diner food , it's priced right and there pretty quick about it

Amazing food! Great service. Our waitress was a adorable. Highly recommend! Super fast service as well. read more

Criddle's Cafe - Honey roll! - Cafes Near Me - South Ogden, Utah

Staff was very friendly and service was very quick. Typical diner food. I ordered French toast and my friend had an omelet. The omelet was good. I found the French toast to be very bland. read more

*Ambience is 1-star: no windows, EVERYONE crammed by front door to either pay or wait on the list (thus don't sit near the door- it's a nightmare in the winter with a frigid blast every 10 seconds). No art or decor- like eating inside of a closet. *Food is 3-stars: scones & butter were great, coffee was great (Boyle's), eggs cooked well, chicken fried steak was good, but hash browns were limp and flavorless and french toast was easily the worst I've ever had. Biscuits and gravy also average. *Overall 2-stars cuz the force needs balanced here. So many locals love this place and I'm not sure why?... I wouldn't go back nor recommend. *Bonus bitching: not many meal options for pancakes or french toast. Almost had to order them ala carte which is odd to me. read more

The food is good, just don't expect the service to be amazing or in a good mood. We try other places because they aren't the nicest of servers, but always come back because the food is better than other places around read more

Absolutely love this place it's always been my go-to restaurant if you're ever in Ogden you need to come here they have the best breakfast in town hands down read more

Criddle's Cafe - Cowboy omelette - Cafes Near Me - South Ogden, Utah

One of the best diner-type of restaurants in UT. Legit, no cap. I absolutely love it here whether I'm going for a burger or a stack of pancakes. I've eaten here way more than I can count. They've never got an order wrong, food is consistent and tasty. I love it. It's a staple for us. read more

We haven't been to a restaurant since Covid started and let me just say this was an amazing first putting for our family. The service was lot only friendly but FAST. Everyone in the cafe was spread out to make everyone safe and comfortable. The food was top notch too. We definitely will be back! read more

Food is always great as well as the service. Love the scones and the sweet role is huge. I always get the veggie omelette too.

This is a down home diner place. No frills about the layout of the cafe. The breakfast selection however is a pretty wide range of options and the food is pretty good consider it being in a small town. Their pancakes were so fluffy and so good! Also their french toast looks plain but also tastes delicious! I guess don't judge a book by the cover. The scone was good but the white sauce I thought was yogurt turned out to be sugar! too sugary a bit. Great place for breakfast overall! read more

It was ok. Probably won't be back. They're pretty much known for their portions. Our server was great. We arrived at about 11:30 a.m. The sign said to seat ourselves, so we did. We ordered a cinnamon roll to share. I had the steak sandwich, hubs had the Reuben, then we split. The steak sandwich was lacking in flavor. I put a healthy amount of salt and pepper on it. But what really made it good was when I added the fry sauce. I just kind of feel that your sandwich should stand on its own feet without all the added 'stuff' to make it good. The Reuben was my favorite. It was pretty darn good. Very greasy, though. Lots of sauerkraut. The fries were good. They came right out of the fryer. They were so hot we couldn't eat them for about five minutes. They lacked salt, which we didn't realize while they were cooling. Because our food did not come out at the same time, when the second sandwich came out (with fries), we were sure to immediately add salt so it would stick better to the fry. The cinnamon roll was ok. Again, it's really about the size that give it the 'wow' factor. We split it between us and our kid. The dough was a bit dry. The frosting was way over-the-top sweet. A cream cheese frosting would be phenomenal, but instead it's just a massive blob of sugar. I would also recommend (if the owner happens to be reading this): there is so much bread that the bread-to-filling ratio is off. There is not enough filling in the cinnamon roll. The bread is thick (not light and a tad gooey, like I feel a good cinnamon roll should be). It was over-baked so it was dry. Again, I know I'm being picky here, but if your fame is your scones and sweet rolls, I think a few changes could be added for improvement. I plan to head to Sills in Layton to compare cinnamon rolls. They are apparently famous for them. Stay tuned. read more

Hustle, hustle, hustle...from the minute I walked in the servers were moving. I picked my own seat and they quickly acknowledged me and took my drink order. Just as quickly it was delivered to my table. I placed my food order and in no less than 5 minutes it was sitting in front of me. Wow! They keep your cups full. They turn tables as quickly as you want to move. Parking was full on a Monday morning when I walked in so I expected it to be packed. There were still plenty of tables. Let's be honest, you aren't eating here for the decor or ambiance. It's older and no frills but the people make the place. The patrons were friendly, all seemed to know each other and the servers. I felt welcome and comfortable. You feel like you're eating at grandma's - it's comfort food, slightly greasy spoon, but filling nonetheless. It reminds me of Sills in Layton so if you like Sills, you'll love Criddles. I ordered Emmy's breakfast. I couldn't decide what I wanted based on the reviews and thought I'd try the key things that peaked my interest: the pancake, scone and SOS gravy. The scone tasted just like Sills. It was good with the honey butter. The pancake was so fluffy and delicious. No need for syrup at all and had a hint of vanilla taste. The SOS gravy was standard and tasted good. Of course me and my little guy couldn't finish it all but I felt like I got my money's worth. I'd dine here again if I wanted a friendly, cheap and filling breakfast. read more
