This is one of those "I want to give a top recommendation to this place so it will always be there, but I don't want it to get so busy that I can't just pop in and get some great food" situations. We had the Children of the Corn and the Tower of Babel and the Squirrel's Nest french toast. The polenta was perfect: crisp outside, moist and flavorful with yummy toppings. My companion made sure to get every drop of the sauce on the Children of the Corn. I loved the salsa/over easy egg/spinach combo on the Tower, enhanced by perfectly crisped bacon. The french toast was again the perfect balance of moisture and crispiness. The vibe is friendly, and the owner is clearly delighted to set you up with some delicious food. AND- breakfast all day! Next time I get to choose a spot for lunch with friends, this will be ait. read more

Went here for brunch and really enjoyed it. It's a cute, small cafe-style spot with limited seating, so keep that in mind if you're going during a busy time. Parking is all street parking, which wasn't too bad when I went. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. You order at the counter, but they bring everything out to your table, which is a nice balance between casual and full service. The food was honestly the highlight. The menu has a lot of fun wordplay, which made it more memorable. I ordered the "Forbidden One" and it did not disappoint. The omelette was super tasty, the bacon was perfectly crispy, and the chicken was well-seasoned and not dry at all. Even the fruit cup stood out. I was pleasantly surprised that it was made with freshly cut fruit instead of the usual pre-packaged mix. My only regret is not adding apples to the "Forbidden One" for the full forbidden fruit moment. Definitely something I'd try next time. Overall, great vibes, great food, and a spot I'd come back to. read more

Stopped by Goat Head around 11:30 with some friends during a busy Sunday brunch. Despite being a small, independent neighborhood spot and clearly busy, they managed the crowd well. What stood out was how well the food accommodated a table with various breakfast tastes. Some of us prefer sweet brunch options, while others like savory, but, literally, everything was so yummy for everyone at the table. Nothing was overly sweet or too savory/spicy for our group, and everyone shared bites happily. I ordered the Children of the Corn, which was super yummy and the shrimp was perfect, just the right spice, and a warm, satisfying chipotle flavor. We also tried the Team 3, with fried Brussels sprouts & mustard curry sauce, Asian jalapeño slaw, and house potatoes with garlic aioli, the Squirrel's Nest French toast and The Forbidden One omelet, all yummy The atmosphere is laid-back: instead of servers, someone seats you, gives you a menu, and you order at a terminal. I appreciate that there are no delivery app drivers coming and going -- it creates a more guest-focused vibe, making it feel more like a neighborhood spot. It's small, cozy, and definitely worth waiting for, if you have a wait read more

The breakfast potatoes were soooo good, and loved the sauce paired with them. Such an interesting spot with a funky but fun menu. I got the satay away sando and my boyfriend got one of their omelettes. Delicious, we will come back! read more

Goat Head was such a treat, from the hilarious menu to the friendly staff, and further still to the delicious food. I stopped by for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The Californication omelette was fluffy and packed full of ingredients, then topped nicely with some avocado. The home potatoes were crispy and well seasoned, and the fruit on the side was a nice touch. I also had one of their seasonal lattes and was blown away by how great it tasted; light, but flavorful at the same time. The menu has creative (subversive?) names for many of the dishes, creative and gave me a good chuckle. Definitely a worthwhile stop for a hearty, delicious breakfast! read more

I met a friend at Goat Head for brunch. It's a small but delicious little place in SLC. It's a little dark inside which is great for focusing conversation. It was a little loud when totally full. I ordered the Californication omelette. They easily accommodated my gluten allergy by cooking my potatoes on the stovetop instead of the fried ones everyone else got. Everything was really good and I didn't feel crappy afterward! This is a counter order place with no real table service. But overall, it felt clean and welcoming. Even the bathroom seemed clean. Definitely recommend, especially for the GF folks out there like me. read more

Goat head has a really unique menu where corn plays a big role. It was cool to see several vegan options. My husband ordered the chicken and waffle. While the chicken was flavorful, we didnt love the cornmeal waffle. The dish needed a slaw or some freshness to cut the richness and heaviness of the fish. My children of the corn was phenomenal, I got every little bit of sauce off the place, but at $18 a plate I didnt fid the service size filling. I would come again to try out some of their other menu options. read more

Their sandwiches are very good made with fresh ingredients. You can tell they put thought into the combinations. The desserts were also a highlight. The only downside is that they take a while to bring out your order, so be patience to wait a bit. That said, it was worth the wait. Customer service was great and the staff was friendly throughout the visit. read more

It's right on the corner which was nice, but being from out of state made the parking challenging but upon entering it was nice and cozy. Nice and full for lunch time and friendly staff. Our food can out quickly. I got the chicken and waffles. The waffle is cornbread based which was fun but a little dry. The chicken was stringy and the crust was very crispy, almost overcooked? My friend enjoyed her shrimp and grits and said they were flavorful. read more

The food here was really delicious. I had an omelette and my friend had the croissant sandwich and both were exceptional. I typically don't like to eat the potatoes, but these came with a delicious aioli sauce. I also have a cornbread waffle that served with hot honey and I think I'll try that next time. They serve delicious coffee drinks, and they grind their own beans freshly. Order first at the register before you sit down I'll definitely be back read more

Another year later after my first review; I've been back many times. Goat Head is still one of the best-executing kitchens around town!

Was hoping to love this place, but sadly didn't. I would still be open to trying again, but I'm not running back. We had to wait a while to order, there was no one in front of us but the staff were busy making drinks and serving. They might want to hire more staff for busy times to avoid that. The wait from when we actually ordered to getting our food was 35 mins. There are no reservations or guaranteed seating. We sat at the bar and the small bar chairs and hard wall underneath was a bit uncomfortable at times. I liked the Squirrel's nest french toast. You could tell it was real maple syrup, and the sweetness of the soft bread with crispy edges, hazelnuts, and sweet creamy ricotta all melded well together. Unfortunately the Poultry in Motion sandwich was disappointing. If someone made me this at their home, I'd enjoy it, but for a restaurant meal I want more. The flavors were basic, nothing that made me excited to keep eating, the chicken was pretty dry, and it would've benefited from a toothpick in the center since it was falling apart. There was an extremely garlicky sauce on the side, not sure if it was supposed to go on the potatoes or the sandwich. I liked it overall but it was a bit too overpowering. read more

Today I got the Tower of Babel with sausage and over easy eggs. Delicious! The homemade salsa on it is very good. The coffee was strong and good; I wish I had been offered another cup much earlier into my meal, so I think this is the downside of their service model. Overall though I love this place and I am surprised when I go on a Saturday and it's not packed. read more

I got takeout on a Sunday afternoon and they weren't too busy so I was able to pick-up within 20 min. Staff was friendly. There is street parking, I think they might be working on their own private parking lot in the back but it's not accessible to customers at this time. I was surprised they didn't give any utensils or napkins and it wasn't until later that I realized. I got the Corrido de Cortez (huevos rancheros) with added sausage, El Mariachi burrito with sausage, and the Squirrel's nest French toast. The sausage and French toast were a bit dry but overall, everything was pretty good! I kinda wish they would've put the sweet ricotta in a side container like the syrup but it didn't melt too much into the French toast. I probably would add fresh fruit next time! read more

Only my first visit but so far a five of five. Will come here again to try out the other breakfast items. Had the 'Squirrel's Nest' - french toast with hazelnuts, ricotta and maple syrup. Sweet with the maple syrup but balanced with the ricotta cheese. Bravo! P.S. Real silverware too! read more

Goat Head was just around the corner from our hotel so we decided to check it out for breakfast/lunch. I ordered the BLT with a side of potatoes and a cup of coffee. As someone who was a tad hungover, it completely hit the spot. The potatoes were soft and the bacon in the blt was cooked perfectly. My wife had the blt with vegan bacon and it was equally delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the overall vibe was relaxing. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

The menu looks delicious with lots of vegetarian and creative offerings. The restaurant is just microscopic. They don't have a hostess or waiters and want you to order from the counter but then there might not even be any seating available. It was stressful, crowded and disorganized, I would not return during weekend brunch rush. read more

Great food and service. Awesome chicken sandwich and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and creamy inside so good. Will definitely go back read more

Really interesting menu with tons of vegan options. The vegan bacon was not my favorite but it could be someone else's! The interior is clean and had a dark moody vibe. You order up at the front and they bring out your food. The french toast was great and so were the house potatoes! read more

This was such a great brunch spot, and I'm so glad I finally made it in after meaning to go since they opened, closed, and came back full force. I got the Children of the Corn, and it was absolutely delicious. The whole place had a warm, welcoming vibe, and you could tell the staff was working hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. It was great to see them back after their fridge mishap, and they definitely didn't miss a beat. My lavender prosecco cocktail was such a fun touch, especially since it was named after the person who helped with the wine fridge. The menu had a lot of tempting options, and I already know I'll be back to try more. Perfect spot for a laid-back but excellent brunch. read more

Goat Head - Entrance - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating, and it gets packed quickly. The setup is confusing when we came in we were told to sit anywhere, but when we sat down were told to order food at the counter. That might sound simple, but the problem is once you get up to order, people coming in think your seats are open and try to sit down. A better system would make the experience less chaotic. For my drink, I asked if they could make an Arnold Palmer (sweet tea and lemonade). The cashier said yes, but didn't mention that they don't have sweet tea--it's actually green tea. Only when the drinks were brought out did the server put it down and call it a "green tea lemonade," which was honestly awful. A simple explanation up front would've avoided the whole issue. When I politely asked if I could just have a lemonade instead, the server got mad, sighed loudly, and said "Ugh, I guess I just have to waste this drink and throw it out." Then she came back, slammed the lemonade down between my friends without saying excuse me, and walked off. No apology, no professionalism, just attitude. That same server had literally greeted us when we first walked in with "OH BOY" and a stank face, as if more customers walking in was some kind of burden. On top of that, the food comes out sporadically so if you're eating with friends, don't expect to get your food at the same time. Maybe it's because of the small kitchen, but no one bothers to explain that. The food itself? Honestly, it was really good we all enjoyed it. But the terrible service overshadowed everything. The server's aggression and hostility made the whole experience uncomfortable. I don't think I'll be back, and I can only recommend this place if you enjoy toxic service from wait staff who act like they hate working while at work. read more

I was really looking forward to this place, every time I passed it on my way home. The metal head in me was quite tickled by the name and logo. Let's start with the good. The food was awesome. The latte was made with love, care and impressive latte art. I had The Road Warrior and I was not disappointed. There's a lot of thought and love put into the dishes on this menu and that really shows. I was very charmed by the names as well. The Team 3 Star reference in particular was an unexpected delight. The servers were great. Very friendly and attentive and seemed to be very on top of the customers even during the brunch rush. The ambiance kind of threw me off. I suppose I judged a book by its cover but I was expecting a place called "Goat Head" to be like Aces High Saloon but for brunch! Instead it was rather plain inside with some inoffensive music and a cheeky menu. I understand this is a new restaurant so it likely doesn't have the highest budget for decor but I was kind of shocked at how naked the walls looked. No portait of any musicians, no paintings or even a picture of a Goat or something. It felt to me like Goat Head got a rad name, a sweet menu and then when it came to designing the interior it felt afraid of the theme of its own name seemed to promise. Either that or simply lacked the budget. The ordering system was a little unconventional. I prefer someone taking my order and then if service is above and beyond I can leave a nice tip but the kiosk functions even if a little inconvenient. I was also surprised that the water was self serve. Again I think if you lean into the theme harder the "Serve yourself, Ave Satanas" something or other could really be cool and might bother people getting their own water less. I am so serious, legitimately put a sign that says something to that effect in 'Ghostbum' font above the water. It would be perfect. Overall I wanted to LOVE Goat Head but instead, I really liked it. Most importantly the food delivers. The service nailed it. Some visual and practical design left a little to be desired but I am absolutely rooting for this place and wish it all the success in the world and am anxious to see it grow and really sink into its own identity. read more

So I didn't get to take a picture of my food, but I ordered the huevos rancheros. My boyfriend ordered the French Toast with Hazlenut ricotta. I will absolutely have to say that both of these dishes did not lack not even for a second any type of flavor my eggs were extremely flavorful and tasty and bursting in flavor and the almond ricotta hazelnut French toast were sweet, but not too sweet. We were just the perfect amount of softness but the moment you cut into the French toast it was soft. It was warm. It was moist and I highly recommend coming back to this place. The service was top-notch. I gave them 20 out of 10 it is LGBTQ friendly and it has a really great energy around it. read more

This place was awesome. The people working here and who went here all were so friendly. Their menu is so inventive. I had a delicious chai latte and the Laura Jane Grace.

The experience here was absolutely phenomenal! Small nuance chic vibe coming in here with LGBTQ+ flags in dining room! Very welcoming and overall interior felt welcoming and comfortable! Me and my boyfriend popped by here today and was helped by Ru! They were polite enough to clean off a table for us during the morning rush and were our server through the stay! Over and beyond grateful for their help and hospitality in diligently helping us when we came by today! We got a couple of the food options; My boyfriend got the Basic Witch, added Avocados and cilantro and it showed up beautifully plated and he said it was really good! He was happy with the customization choices upon ordering! I got the Cultist and an extra side of Sausage patties! All food arrived at the table in a timely manner and the only complaint I had isn't anything personal, more of a preference, I didn't like the char on the patties I received on the side! But the patty inside of the cultist was PERFECT! Absolutely delicious and 0 complaints taste palette wise all around! Just texture wise I didn't dig the side of the patties! Now let me just say: those. potatoes. And. The. Side. Aeole. REVOLUTIONARY! Best part of the entire meal in my opinion! Ru was sweet enough to help me even during the overlapping customer interactions and for that I AM GRATEFUL FOR THEM!! Thank you guys for this amazing fast casual! I will be back with my BF! read more

Unbelievably sad. As a neighbor... I was so excited about this place! When I went in there was no welcome or acknowledgment of us even being there. We finally figured out that we needed to go up and order at the counter. I ordered the seitan sandwich with Smashed potatoes. Sadly the potatoes were not smashed at all. The portion size was minimal. But most sadly, the sandwich has less than 1/2 seitan on it. It was mostly bread and gooey sauce. I left unsatisfactorily fed, hungry, and nobody even said hello. It was a let down. read more
