Raspberry lemonade

The servers are so quick and polite. I would say the food is a little too salty and dry for my taste. We liked our drinks though :)

Great food, very delicious! The restaurant looks spacious and makes you feel like you're at a bbq place! Hostess is very nice and friendly. Most Servers are nice

Bone fragment in the "pulled pork", which is not supposed to have bones in it. According to the restaurant this is perfectly acceptable.

DO NOT GO HERE for your own safety and well-being! Notice how this place has more 1 star reviews than any other number? I'm not exaggerating. Take a minute to read this review and save yourself some anguish. My wife and I went here and the food was mostly bad. I got ribs which were very tough and my wife got chicken which was rubbery. The service was not bad but we couldn't get the waiters attention for a refill on drinks. I am not a complainer and I've worked in restaurants for many years so I didn't complain. That night I felt sick and my wife ended up having an "evacuation" out both ends... We wondered and suspected it was the food we had there. Fast forward to a few weeks ago my mother in law was in town and took our daughter there to eat. We warned her about our experience but she has enjoyed Famous Daves from her neck of the woods so she gave it a shot. BIG MISTAKE She got pulled pork (which is supposed to be boneless meat), right? She bit into a piece which had a small piece of bone shard in it that BROKE her TOOTH. She reported it right away to her waiter and the store manager, showing them the bone. Their response? "MeAt hAz BOneS iN iT!" They took no responsibility. Really? If you had a chicken nugget and choked on a piece of bone, would McDonalds say "Meat has bones! Sorry not sorry!" Pulled pork is not supposed to have small pieces of bone in it. Nobody would reasonably expect that. Adding insult to literal injury, they didn't even comp her meal. She came home in pain and explained the situation. We contacted both the restaurant and their insurance and they again said "meat has bones" and did not take responsibility. IN FACT their insurance said once the waiter drops the food off they are NOT responsible for anything that follows. So if they had left broken glass or poison in your food, they're not responsible!!! It's unreal. PS: I sent two emails to the store manager Damien Allgood and got no reply. The employees there have no way for me to contact anyone with any authority. PPS: I'm not kidding, but my mother in law got sick that night with the same symptoms! So if you want ok to bad tasting food that can injure you and make you sick with horrible customer service, this place is for you. Here's a picture of the bone fragment.

Our first time here we lucked out watching the Utah Mammoths whip Vegas Golden Knights in the…read moreStanley cup first round game here in Sat Lake City while eating good food (lamb burger with feta, and French dip sandwich au jus--both with fries). Our server Marin was awesome. The bartender and owner stopped by our table several times to check on us. They have regular and high tables plus seats at the bar. There were several TVs around the back of the restaurant. The front of the restaurant is open during the day for breakfast. I want to try that out soon! Plenty of parking and easy access off the freeway.

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!

While there were some things we enjoyed, the overall experience didn't quite justify the price. First, the restaurant is beautiful. The décor is modern, stylish, and very Instagram-worthy. It's easily one of the nicest-looking brunch spots I've visited in Utah. Unfortunately, the dining room feels overcrowded. The tables are placed extremely close together, making it difficult to have a private conversation. We often had to raise our voices just to hear each other, and even the servers seemed to struggle moving between tables. The atmosphere looked great, but it didn't feel very comfortable. The service was polite and friendly, but one thing bothered me. Shortly after we finished our main dishes, the check was brought to the table. We hadn't asked for it, and it made us feel a bit rushed, as if it was time to leave even though we were still talking with our friends. It's a small detail, but it affects the overall dining experience. For drinks, I ordered a piña colada, and unfortunately it was disappointing. It tasted overly diluted, with very little pineapple flavor, while the rum stood out much more than it should have. I also ordered the Vital Boost juice. The flavor was actually good, but it was served at room temperature, which wasn't what I expected from a fresh juice. For my meal, I ordered the breakfast burrito. It tasted good, but I couldn't justify the $20 price tag. It consisted of a thin tortilla filled with eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes, served with shredded potatoes and a small side salad. While everything was cooked properly, the ingredients felt simple, and the portion didn't match the price. I've had larger and more satisfying meals elsewhere for the same cost. My girlfriend ordered the birria tacos. They were decent but nothing memorable. We've had better birria at other restaurants. The consommé was much spicier than expected, and while some people may enjoy that, it wasn't our preference. The tortillas were also average. On the positive side, the lemonade was refreshing. I should also mention that Mexican food isn't usually my favorite cuisine, so I know my preferences may differ from those of other diners. Still, I always evaluate a restaurant based on the balance between quality, value, flavor, and the overall experience. In this case, I felt the food was good but not exceptional enough to justify the prices. La Condesa is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a beautiful brunch spot with a trendy atmosphere. However, between the cramped seating, the value for the money, a few disappointing dishes, and feeling rushed at the end of the meal, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. I don't regret trying it, but it isn't a place I'd personally choose to revisit anytime soon.

Absolutely one of my favorite local spots--this is where I take everyone who visits from out of…read moretown, and I've yet to see a single person leave unhappy (or hungry). Best way to describe it? Cafe Rio meets loaded baked potatoes meets comfort food done right. You build your potato base exactly how you want it (baked, fries, tots, sweet potato, etc) with options that feel indulgent and plenty that feel clean, healthy, and gluten-free--with no gluten-free upcharge, which deserves its own applause. Bonus: it's so good you forget it's gluten-free in the first place. The vibe is bright, upbeat, and casual, and the fully loaded soda bar is half the fun--mix-and-match sodas and syrups like a kid in a candy shop, but with adult self-control (or not). Do not skip the cornbread with homemade honey butter. I repeat: do. not. skip. it. That cornbread alone could start a fan club. You'll often see Todd, the owner, working the line or ringing people up--super friendly, genuinely kind, and exactly how you hope a local business owner shows up. You wouldn't even realize he's the owner unless you catch the name tag and have that "ohhh... Spud Todd-os" moment. Whether you're grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to eat, this place delivers: great food, fair prices, and the kind of local energy that keeps you coming back. Your stomach and your wallet will both be very happy. Would (and do) bring everyone here.

There are numbered guides on the glass but they were out of order so it was kind of confusing. However, we figured it out and had fun deciding what options to get. The Mister got a half Las Vegas and I got the Turkey on Mashed, but subbed out for a baked potato. The portions were big! We both took home leftovers and they were both really tasty. I think my turkey dish probably weighed five pounds. It was very tasty and I could see how delicious it would have been over mashed potatoes. My husband's Las Vegas potato was also very good. Super flavorful. I also appreciated all the syrup options set up beside the soda dispenser. That was an unexpected bonus. Staff were friendly, clean place. We'll definitely be back. I think chili on a baked potato would hit the spot on a cold day.

Once inside, it had a welcoming atmosphere and people inside were all having a good time. This brewery features Lager Beers crafted using traditional Bavarian/European methods...thus I had to try one...two...maybe more. Luckily there was a ton of delicious looking food on the menu from the expected pizzas and wings to the old world treats like beef stroganoff, goulash and schnitzal. Everything is made from scratch and I couldn't help looking at all the neighboring tables to get an idea of what to try. Our waitress Ashley was really helpful and checked if the pesto was made with nuts as we have peanut and tree nut allergies in our family. Luckily there were no pine nuts or other substitutes and we could safely have it! We ended up getting quite a feast of plates and then topped it off with two desserts- the bread pudding and the German chocolate cake (couldn't come to a family agreement so had to get both!). Thanks Bohemian Brewery for the excellent time!

We had the pork shank and the chicken schnitzel. The pork shank came with spatzle and red cabbage-excellent dish. The chicken schnitzel was pretty good. It had a fresh taste to it and even a little lemon-y, which didn't make the fried cutlet taste too rich. It came with mashed potatoes, gravy and veggies. The veggies were your basic steamed veggies, but the dish was overall good. Service was great-server was attentive and the manager came around as well to check on us. I think it would be fun to come here for Oktoberfest, since the inside has a good ambiance.
