    Big H Combo
    Brad H.

    Had to try this after seeing the reviews. I'm a big fan of A&W and wanted to compare. Both are comparable, but A&W still has the edge, albeit a small edge. I ordered the combo which comes with their flagship cheeseburger, fries, and a frosty mug of their famous rootbeer. All was yummy. The bun was soft and fresh. The fries were good. The rootbeer was outstanding. I would say that while good, I like A&W's burgers are better. While Big H's burgers are good, I like A&W', Mooyah, and In-N-Out's better. The rootbeer? Almost the same as A&W's. Very good. Almost close to A&W's flavor. While Hire's rootbeer is excellent and has long been one of my favorite beverages, A&W's rootbeer is smoother and slightly more creamy. The fires were really good, but again, A&W's are better, at least in my opinion. A&W's fries have a nice slight crispness to them. Overall, as far as the food is concerned, very worthy. The service was good, this is a sit down restaurant and you will be waited on, so prepare to pay a tip. Speaking of prices, I was surprised as how expensive it was. The combo was $16, $17. I think about going to In-N-Out and getting a #1 Double Double with fries and a drink for $10 and some change. For that reason alone, I will not be returning for the food. However, I would be back for maybe their rootbeer floats. I saw a table with some and they look awesome. Tall mountain of soft serve ice cream in that frosty mug of rootbeer. Looks like it would be worth the $7 for it. The service was fairly fast. Getting the initial service was sort of questionable. Been there for about five minutes on my lunch break, no biggie. But I got concerned that a lady who sat down at a table next to mine sat down after me got the attention of a waitress and I hadn't ordered yet. So after that waitress took the lady's order, I called her over and she took my order. She explained that she was actually working the drive-through but she would be happy to take my order, which she did. The restaurant for the most part is one big room with lots of tables. There are some interesting things on the walls, but other than that kind of sterile, but not a big deal. While not packed, there were many customers in the room at this time, which was around 11:30. Probably about 30% full. So the menu and the prices are not an issue with many. As a matter of fact, there was a group of 6 next to me that seemed like business colleagues out for lunch. All the help was friendly and cheerful. As a matter of fact, the help that bussed the table asked if I wanted a cup of rootbeer for the road. How nice, what a nice touch. Check it out. I think you'll like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    Onion Rings

    Yum. Delicious. Nostalgic. This place has my favorite onion rings. And my husbands favorite pizza. The French fries are amazing dipped into the chocolate shake. My friends vegi burger was delicious. And the garlic bread is amazing.

    Hires is a CLASSIC here in SLC, Utah!!! I particularly love the Midvale store because they have been so supportive of our family after our mom was in a car accident. Their food is delish. Grab a good burger (particularly the Big H or Junior H), order some fries, get a snickers shake or root beer freeze, and wash it down with a Dr. Pepper OR Cherry Diet Coke. (Just make sure to avoid the calorie count of all this food haha!) WE LOVE HIRES BIG H STAFF!!!

    Big H combo. Big H, onion rings with fry sauce, and a cherry limeade :)
    Amanda R.

    Brought my teen kids in to Hires on a Friday night, and we each ordered the Big H onion ring combo. Our food arrived piping hot and fresh, within about fifteen minutes after we got our drinks, which was appreciated. The Big H is their signature 1/4 pound hamburger with a slice of American cheese melted over it, topped with their fry sauce, a nice slice or two of tomato, plus some crispy iceberg lettuce. The rolls are soft and pillowy. Always a favorite. :) Our portions were generous and the meal was really filling! I ended up bringing most of my onion rings home, whereas my kids finished theirs entirely. Hires' cherry limeade is my favorite. It's really quite refreshing, and does not disappoint. (club soda + limeade + cherry syrup + pellet ice + slice of lime and maraschino cherry) Yum! I like that the dining room is brightly lit, the tables are laid out in a way that can accommodate large groups, and it's ideal for families with small children. If you don't want to eat in the dining room, no worries. Park along the perimeter of the building with your headlights on, and someone will come out to take your order..

    Cheese Fries

    We had a great dine in experience at Hire's! Our waitress was amazing and the food was brought out quickly and was delicious! Their cheese fries were my favorite item we ordered. There is also ample parking available right outside.

    Raspberry hot fudge milkshake
    Lacey T.

    Craving a burger and shake, my husband and I made our way to Hires a few weeks back. It was a Saturday at dinnertime during this COVID pandemic, and pretty packed. They have customers placing/waiting on orders park in the spots attached to the building, and then request vehicles move to a space along the perimeter if you are staying to eat. We saw several parties hanging out in camp chairs: a cute idea, and kids in particular, seemed to be enjoying that, while still maintaining social distancing. Oh, and there is a large menu displayed outdoors on the back of the building, but we could not see it from where we were, so I'd peep one online prior to your arrival. The carhops were on fire: greeting us within less than a minute of parking, and incredibly patient with the older couple next to use who waited about ten seconds before yelling and flagging someone over with a "Oh, I just wasn't sure you saw us!" (insert eyeroll here). They were still sweet as pie! We waited 10-15 minutes for our order, which seemed reasonable. My lettuce wrapped Avocado H burger was tasty and satisfying. The meat is good quality, avocado fresh, and the fry sauce is a nice addition, without being glopped willy nilly and overwhelming the whole thing. I do wish they offered it over a salad (I asked - they don't - but if you want a good one Lucky 13'll do it for ya!), but I'm appreciative of the option to do away with a bun regardless. Especially as they are pretty meh squishy white bread style, which is not to my taste. With that said, my husband, who does not have a strong opinion about bread (except that carbs=good), had the bacon ranch burger, and liked it well enough. We shared an order of fries: fine and hot, but not on par with my crispiness standards. A variety of shakes, malts, and sundaes are available. He chose a (boring!) vanilla milkshake while I went with raspberry hot fudge. I figured they would drizzle hot fudge on top, but it was mixed in. It gave my shake a lil' note of something beyond raspberry, but it was negligible. The true berry flavor and bits of fruit were lovely, though. The thing with milkshakes is this: They are good, until they are not, which is about 5 minutes after receiving one. They melt too quickly, then it is just liquid ice cream, and I don't want that. This is no fault of Hires, they were just the impetus to reminding me of my feelings toward traditional shakes (now the thick shakes favored by most Utah eateries...that's a whole other thing!). I would probably skip dessert on a future visit, but if my sweet tooth is on, I'd opt for a sundae instead. Overall, the experience was decent to pretty good, but the price too high for what we received (over $30 for two, and not even full meals). It is the classic case of "could have made it at home better and for less." If you can't or don't want to make this yourself, however, it is a fair option.

    It has been so many years since I've visited Hires. I'm glad I went back. I feel like you get a good, high quality burger, and good service, for way less than Red Robin costs you. I love their fries, and their onion rings are good too. Plus, just look at the picture and check out that bacon--no thin microwaved strips here. Our server was great, and our food came out really fast. Initially, my diet root beer basically had no syrup in it; it was just brown carbonation. But they made it right really quickly. And their regular root beer is great, of course. Overall, a great visit and will gladly come back the next time I want a step above a fast food burger and a step below Red Robin (price wise).

    It's a two in one restaurant. It's very unusual and makes it even harder to order. But you will not go wrong. It's a local gem.

    No, you probably do not know what a Sonoran Dog is. So no, you don't know if this is authentic or…read morenot. I'm from Tucson. I tried almost every Sonoran Dog offering--restaurant, food truck--in Tucson. Seriously. And have Yelp reviewed and rated them all. Folks, this is the real deal. So what makes a Sonoran Dog? First, the hot dog. bacon wrapped, with the right sized pinto beans, and diced tomatoes and onions. Next, mayo, guac sauce, and sometimes mustard, depending on the vendor. Often served with a grilled pepper. So far, so good. But if you don't have this final ingredient, IT IS NOT A SONORAN DOG! And that is.... ....THE BUN! Sonoran dogs are only Sonoran Dogs if it has the right bun. These are the right buns. Well...I'll say it is 99% the real buns. He gets them shipped in from Phoenix, I believe. Phoenix does not have the best Sonoran Dogs. In Tucson (the first North American city to be named a "Gastronomic Capitol of the World" by UNESCO) *all* Sonoran Dog vendors get their buns from Alejandro's Bakery. Period. *All* of them. And they are a special bun. Long, in which the hot dog actually fits, tapered at each end, fluffy, and ever so slightly sweet. Half of the enjoyment of eating a Sonoran Dog is the bun. And often you end up with a bite or two with no more dawg and it is a pleasure to eat that left-over bun with still a few of the other ingredients in it. With Chipilon style of Sonoran Dog (from a certain Mexico province of the same/similar name?) the bun is toasted on the grill on both sides and there is cheese at the bottom of the bun, which is melted. This is how he serves them. And the toasted bun is the best way to have a Sonoran Dog in my opinion. So I say his buns (from Phoenix) are 99% real because these buns have one end sort of sliced off. But that does not detract from the experience of eating these fine dawgs. The only drawback for me is that these dawgs cost $8.50. But hey, we're in Utah, and he has to import the buns, so that's an extra cost. In Tucson, anyone would balk if the dawg cost more than $3.50. But for me, this is the only game in town. And it's a good one. And he serves his with Duros de harinas (Mexican wagon wheel chips). And tonight I tried a combo that comes with any version of dawg he does plus a "mini quesadilla," which wasn't so "mini" as he stuffs it with a generous amount of cheese and you get three triangles. He's in the Latinos Furniture parking lot on Redwood in West Jordan. In case you use Apple Maps, until they accept the correction I sent them, it is on the east side of Redwood: 7659 S Redwood Rd. His weekly location (if different than Latinos) is on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nanassonoranhotdogs. Even my wife, who doesn't like hot dogs, like Sonoran Dogs and likes these Sonoran Dogs. Check it out! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good.

The meat was good, the peppers and onions were good the wiz was good the roll was good. Tasty sandwich. I am spoiled by Frankie's south Philly's Cheesesteak in Tucson, which was about as authentic as you can get out side of Philadelphia. They ship their hoagie rolls from a Philadelphia bakery. And the way Frankie's puts their cheesesteak together is divine. This was just a half a hair under, it was so good. And it was so big and packed with meat. I couldn't finish this 6 incher. And it is very thoughtful that they provide a plastic fork and several napkins. Moochie's also has several sauces: jalapeño, chipotle, and Ranch maybe? Anyway, they threw in a bunch--and I mean a bunch--of jalapeño sauces and a couple of chipotle sauces. All in all, 7 sauce containers. The sauces are really good. Hardy and full of flavor. It is so tempting to eat this Philly with the sauce and I did for a few bites and really enjoyed it. But the flavor of the sandwich was so good, I didn't want to spoil it. This location on State Street seems a bit older and a hair tired, but still comfortable. There is enough parking and it is easy to get to. The service was pleasant and friendly. I definitely recommend Moochie's. I'll be back to try their sides. That, after all, is an important part of having a Philly cheesesteak. (Frankie's had killer sides.) 5* = A top favorite.

Bread is just right, crispy on outside, soft in the middle. Meat super tender and flavorful, each piece coated in a thin veneer of cheese. I always grab a bottle of jalapeño sauce and squirt on each bite. Prices are a bit steep for fast food, but it's worth it. As for other food here, fries are pretty good - on the greasy limp side but satisfying dipped in their bottled fry sauce. Sweet potato fries not as good. Hard pass on the cheesecake cups (too soft & sour). It is nice this location actually has tables to sit at for a change, and usually no line unlike the downtown location. Bathroom is micro small. Considering how many workers are here, I was surprised they screwed up our order.. They seem to socialize A LOT in back. But they eventually did make it right. I'm just glad to see Moochie's has expanded into a local chain. I'll definitely be back in.
