    Slice of supreme pizza with ranch dressing on the side
    Drew G.

    The entertainment is always awesome. This is our third visit here. we watched wicked-er & my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much. I noticed there's not a lot of good pictures of food on yelp (probably because they turn the house lights down low for the production) so I'm uploading our photos of our pizza we had. It's nothing to write home about, but it was not bad. I got the supreme pizza with the side salad and Bud Light. My wife got the Pinot Grigio and we shared the pizza. love the staff, always friendly.

    Food was mediocre. the burger meat was way smaller than the bun. Seating is very cramped. Service was ok although when the bar tender picked up our sign check he scowled at us because we did not add additional tip to the 18% that was automatically added. Show was like Mormon church roadshow. There were a few funny lines. Overall just not enough to entice us to return.

    super fun experience! I had never been to a play here before but I had such a good time I hope I can come back again and again! So cool to find this hidden gem in my mind. My friend got the tickets for us but I loved it and had a blast. Really entertaining and great acting!

    My wife and I received a gift certificate to Desert Star Theater for Christmas and redeemed it this past weekend to see the Adams Family Reunion. The online reservation/certificate redemption was not an easy process. The website does not let you choose your seats, but offers best available. You can see what seats are vacant, but have to keep pushing the button to rotate through all available seats until you land on the ones you want. Then, redeeming the certificate itself was difficult. I eventually made it work, but it was definitely not user-friendly. We arrived about 40 minutes before the 8:30 showing and found ample, but poorly lit, parking in the back. A few minutes after arriving, the earlier show let out and the place filled up quickly with guest from the first show as well as those waiting for the second show. It was chaos for a good 10 minutes. The doors opened to the theater at about 8:25, and people started shuffling in. We were led to our table and surprised at how close we were to the tables on either side of us. Having just come from dinner, we weren't hungry, but did want to order a drink and dessert. Our server told us that he could get us dessert, but someone else would come by to take our drink order-we just needed to stand the menu up to alert them that we wanted alcohol. There was a buzz of servers running around, going in and out the doors and delivering food to tables throughout the theater. We never did see anyone come by to take a drink order. It could be that there is one solitary person that takes orders for the bar and they never could make it all around the room. The show itself was....well, that depends on who you ask. I was mildly entertained-sort of in the way you're mildly entertained watching your six grade kid's Christmas performance (but without the pride of "hey, that's MY kid!")....my wife, on the other hand was downright blissful. She loves cheesy puns and Utah culture humor, so she loved it. She would be their target audience, for sure! The show felt long for both of us, so we quickly skedaddled after the curtain call-missing the "olio"...whatever that is. I'm sure we will be back to find out-my wife had so much fun she plans on dragging me to more shows in the future. Maybe this time I'll get lucky and be able to order a drink.

    I can sum this review up in five words: THE best country fried steak…read more As a breakfast food lover, I can honestly say this is the best CFS I've had. Crunchy on the outside but tender on the inside. You can tell this chopped steak isn't frozen. Add that to a great diner run by great people, and it's a great visit overall. I highly recommend it.

    The Food: Me and my 30 friends (We're a dinner group) set out each week to try new places, and…read moresocialize. So I think in talking to most of my friends I got a good view on the food, and presentation. I had a starter of Totchos, and the Beef Dipper for my entrée. Both were excellent, I shared my Totchos. These are tater tot nachos, they were excellent, normally I don't like cheese sauce on Nachos, but given the consistency and flavor of this sauce (house made, I'm guessing. Not canned) They were excellent. The Beef Dipper and Au Jus, also top notch! Generally in a French dip, there is a lot of fatty pieces, this was not that. Also at my table was the Chile Verde bowl, this one has a kick... but my friend having it really enjoyed it. The fish and chips was great, smelled fresh. Lets talk about the sides. Choice of Fries (appeared to be battered fries, always a favorite of mine.) Tots, or house made potato chips. I had the Potato Chips with mine, these were excellent, crisp and tender on the inside. The Athena (Lamb Burger) got rave reviews from one at the table The Service: Because we were in a large group they advised us they were going to be taking our orders as we came in so not to overwhelm the kitchen staff. Excellent communication throughout service given that we were a large group. I talked to one of the Owners, Laurie, I could tell she had a huge sense of pride in the place. Very friendly! The Restaurant: Great atmosphere, Fun artwork, best of all, VERY Clean, nothing sticky or no grease buildup on any surface. The glass ware on the wall behind the bar as all polished. In the bar area they stack their silver, tableware, condiments etc. in a cute little cozy box on the table, with the main dining area setup as a diner with the traditional paper napkin and silverware. For a diner motif to have shined silver and glassware is a nice touch! Summary: Eat here! The prices are reasonable, the food is excellent, when I looked at the menu online I was a little put off by no actual entrée's on the dinner menu, however the in house experience made up for that, it's a pub food vibe and they are doing it well!

However, additional details create a loving connection - its off-Broadway central location, the copper-paneled ceiling that mimics warm conversations in varied spaces (cocktail, chef's counter, expandable tables for groups, and outdoor), fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with service to match. It's the place where I had my first glass of Turley Zinfandel (education alongside), and the place I will always return for my favorite Wagyu Beef Stroganoff (a comfort from home, but upscale). This one delivered with large, firm, expertly seasoned portobello & forest mushrooms over wide, freshly handmade pappardelle pasta that soaks up rich beef stock (a touch of black pepper) blended with crème fraîche. A generous portion of wagyu is tender and rich. PRO TIP: Mix then let it sit & marinade a minute - flavor pays in dividends. For dessert, a Valhrona Chocolate Pudding topped with whip cream and Maldon flake salt - exquisite, but expensive. The texture is comforting and delicious - olive oil adds a lingering finish with slight fruit.

    Host name is Carleigh…read more We had a reservation for 8:00 PM and arrived around 7:50 PM. When we checked in, the host, Carleigh, immediately told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait. I informed her that we had a reservation under my name, John, but she simply looked at her list, seemed annoyed, and told us to wait anyway. While we were waiting, we watched several parties of two arrive after us with reservations at 8:10, 8:15, and even 8:20, and they were seated before us. After waiting about 20 minutes, I went back to ask how much longer it would be. I was told it would be another 20 minutes. I reminded Carleigh that we had a reservation, and her response was, "Oh, you did?" She then asked for my full name and phone number, looked up the reservation, apologized, and immediately escorted us to a table that appeared to have been ready the entire time. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. Reservations are made so guests don't have to wait behind people who arrive later. It felt like our reservation had been completely ignored until I spoke up a second time. Whether this was poor organization or a lack of attention, the level of service at the front desk was unacceptable. We came looking forward to a nice family dinner, but the experience started with unnecessary frustration and left a very poor first impression. I sincerely hope additional training is provided so this doesn't happen to other guests.
