Came here on a recommendation from a colleague. Took me a while before I tried it out since it just wasn't near anything I go to but had an aching for a burger and I'm glad I went. Would definitely return! Excellent burger. Got the firehouse burger, which consisted of 1/4 patty, onions, pickles, tomatoes, jalapeños, shredded lettuce and bacon. Ton of bacon and a ton of jalapeños in the burger. Was a nice potato bun that wasn't soggy. Shoestring fries were nice and crispy. The onion rings had a ton of flavor in it. Opted for the BBQ sauce over the fry sauce. Spot had a lot of history and nostalgia to it. I was there shortly after it opened so I got my food fairly quickly. One unique thing they had were different colored roses for people to take on the house if you're into that. Staff was very friendly as well. There's ton of parking too so that was nice to not have to drive around a neighborhood for parking. read more

Hook And Ladder - Firehouse Burger with Fries and Onion Rings - Burgers Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Hook and Ladder Restaurant This place is AMAZING! Was in town for appointments at Primary Children's and came here right after. My picky 12 year old was able to find multiple things he loved and the staff was friendly, patient, understanding, and helpful. We ordered cheese burgers with fries and a drink plus onion rings, a shake, and a hand scooped ice cream and it all cost us under $30! The burgers were juicy and delicious, the fries were perfectly done ( crispy but not hard or overdone with a delicious softer inside, not undercooked. Everything was served quickly, kindly, and deliciously. We didn't have a long wait at all! I loved the atmosphere as did my son! Their shakes are SO THICK you have to eat it with a spoon then try a straw later after it settles / melts a little and it was SO GOOD! Easily the best shake I've had in years! Lastly, their fry sauce. I've been to a lot of places that serve fry sauce all over the state and this was THE BEST fry sauce I've ever had! Not too tangy but not too light on flavor. I loved that they included it for free as well! 100/10 for food and experience! Would absolutely recommend! read more

So the reviews looked pretty good and we decided to check it out. The ambiance is clearly a big thing - they've been around for 52 years! It's a small place - very much themed in fire fighter decor which one would expect. The staff were very helpful and answered questions. We started with the deep fried pickles. We love deep fried pickles. These were okay - too greasy and a very small portion. I had the Firehouse burger which had the burger, bacon, jalapeños, pickles, lettuce, mayo and dipping sauce. It was actually very good and had a good amount of bacon and jalapeños. We also tried the bacon cheeseburger. There was only one very small piece of bacon and the burger was really overcooked. We tried the fries - they were fries - a bit overcooked but not too bad - but zero flavor at all. We did not try any dessert, though they specialize in shakes and ice cream. Would we come back? Probably not. There are way too many places that make great burgers and fries to go to an average joint. read more

We ordered the seafood special and the Galioth special. The Goliath was not what I thought it would be, it's just two half pound burgers, I thought it would have a 4 patty burger, not so much.Service was pretty much non-existent but they didn't ask for tips either. We ate outside on the patio and the breeze was nice. The burgers were me'eh, and the fish was fried about 60 seconds too long. Fries were fine, but certainly not special. Not sure if we would go back, but didn't really hate it. read more

Solid diner-style cooked-well-done burger. And they don't use the wimpy buns! Very tasty. Their shakes are good too. Fries not so much, from older reviews sounds like they changed them. Lady behind the counter super nice. Limited seating, nice when you can score a booth. read more

If your looking for a good hamburger joint with some charm look no further this place is it! It was delicious. We got the fries, shakes , burgers , tater Tots, and BLT. Every one enjoyed their food with no complaints. Everything was delicious and fresh. The hamburger was classic and delicious. The service was great, everyone was so kind. We didn't wait long for our food at all. Maybe 5-10 minutes. You could eat your food at the restaurant or you can take it to go. read more

The food was to be expected for a fast-food restaurant. It is an iconic restaurant in that neighborhood, and everyone should try it once. The neighborhood is a little sketchy at night so go in the daytime. They do need to wipe the tables down more often and I wish they had free refills on Cokes. read more

Loved this place since Jr High! And that was over 20 years ago. They serve the best onions rings in town! The staff is still so sweet. As long as this place is running, I'll always keep coming back. read more

It is the best double cheeseburger I have found in Salt Lake. The buns are so fresh and the burger patties are as big as the bun. The prices are amazing and try a corn dog too if you're extra hungry! read more

My childhood spot! Walking home from school we'd stop and get a bag of fries (they were just a large fries but they put em in a paper bag) we never had enough for burgers and fries so we'd always just get fries and a shake and just share with the homies or whoever happened to be walking home that day lol Nostalgia for real but idc the food is bomb! Fish n chips gonna be greasy af but idgaf gimmie allat some fry sauce, ranch and the tartar sauce cuz I'm dipping it all! Service is always good cuz it's not a big place so if they mess up your order just walk to back and have a push-up contest Pinball machine in there and Mortal Kombat right infront the ice cream case. The ice cream flavors we'd always get are of course Rocky Road and Superman (they call this some other name now but it's basically a colorful vanilla ice cream) in the OG cake cone You place your order there on top the ice cream case and pickup on the other end of the room. It feels small and it is but I never feel boxed in even when it's crowded. There's seats outside to enjoy your meal on a nice day and the flower shop to get a bouquet for your mother or significant other The last time I went there it was the same as the first except the drive thru window wasn't open lol If they're taking suggestions they need to make a chili cheese fries with pastrami and call it the California Ave. Fries (I don't want no credit for the name just don't ever clod and sell to some apartments) read more

Typical fast food joint. Lots of options and decent prices. Food was cooked fresh - meaning it was not already prepared and sitting there waiting - and they give you a buzzer. Outdoor and indoor seating. This visit I did the seafood basket: 3 fried fish, 6 fried shrimp, fries, roll, and sauces. Not a bad stop for trying to find something "nearbye". Sort of rough neighborhood tho. The free roses were a nice surprise. Something a little different. read more

Funky little burger joint that could easily be from the 1950s. Limited seating. Great prices. Funky atmosphere. All the bars on the window made me wonder a bit but everything was fine. Staff was friendly. The burgers were fantastic. I would definitely go back multiple times. Definitely try this place. read more

The lady that took our order was very sweet to all the customers who came in. The portions are pretty big. If you've ever had in and out, it's at least 1.5x the portions. For the amount of food, the price was great. The Shaun Combo was tasty. The mushrooms went really well with the burger, though it was leaking all over the place. Haha You'll want to eat it at a table, not in your car. There was a lot of fries and 2 containers of sauce, which is like a thousand island dressing (ketchup and mayo). The strawberry ice cream was very creamy and had nice soft chunks of strawberries. If I was in the area, I'd definitely come back! read more

Where do I start? Let's start with the good points. Staff very friendly, clean establishment.... I ordered the Fish&Chips more like fish sticks..,the batter was good, the fish was dry and over cooked, has a smell old freezer burn... which left it inedible. YUCK ..instead of chips I replace with onion rings(An extra two $2 charge) if you're going to nickel&dime someone for onion rings..( at least give more than 5 onion rings) and what's with the extra salt on the onion rings and fish? It was super salty! I noticed a customer came in about 10 minutes after I did.... he order a burger and tater tot's, his order was done first. You only get one chance to make a first impression.. sorry Disappointing. NOTE: when you advertise your restaurant under someone else's name, should've been a sign. Thought this restaurant was named (Hooks and Ladders co.)? Not Smashburger. read more

This cool Fish & Chips restaurant is the official ballpark for The Sandlot the movie featuring "The Beast". Being at this baseball field is so cool. I love this movie and didn't know it really existed. But super happy to reveal this cool place. I had ordered the fish & chips and it came out steaming fresh and hot. They give tarter sauce and malt vinegar. Came with a roll. The staff is very welcoming and nice. I will tell you there is about 7 tables to eat at in this small little place. They don't take reservations. They do have a ice cream cooler with a dozen choices of flavors. I ultimately love this place and enjoyed lunch today and will always come here when I'm in Salt Lake City. read more

Let's start with this is cutest, homiest place in Salt Lake City. If you are looking for the small town burger joint you have found it. I came here on my lunch break to snag a quick bite. For a deluxe cheese burger, fried pickles and a drink it came out to a whopping $9, what a steal! The burger was just about what you'd expect, like the neighborhood dad grilled it up for you on a hot summer day. I have a little quarry with the fried pickles. I loved that they were coins but how salty they were threw me off. I ended up throwing away the last few with an audible blah (I don't like to waste food so I tried to power thru), I'm not sure if it was the oil or batter but if you want a taste of the ocean get the pickles. Towards the end of the basket you could see the built up brownish orange oil which wasn't a great sight to see but for a lil burger joint nothing crazy. The service as amazing! Exactly what you would hope for, extremely nice people and who call you sweetie. 10/10 The joint is a little small, I didn't stay to eat but i took my food togo and the service was prompt, I was in and out in about 10 minutes! Overall, I'd skip the fried pickles next time but would definitely come back for the burger and service!! read more

This store has SUPERMAN ice cream!!! Need I say more? This place is amazing, amazing people, amazing food, lots to choose from.

the cutest, homegrown burger joints in the glendale neighborhood. may be the BBOAT [best burger of all time]. kevin and i are on the road to portland, oregon! a majority of our trip has been has station eateries so we we're excited to dine at this humble burger joint. i ordered their no. 9, large bacon burger with fries! kevin ordered their fish and chips. his reasoning? "it's on the sign so you gotta try it!" everything was delicious. that burger looked like something out of a movie! it looked good and tasted even better. i was super surprised about the #fishandchips. i learned from #gordonramsay that when a restaurant has too many items, it'll be hard to make ALL of them good. this place proved us wrong. they are serving up tacos, hotdogs, ice cream, shakes, burgers, fish, fajitas, and doing it WELL! for a restaurant that has been here for 40+ years, it's still incredibly inexpensive. plus the view of the mountains ? this place was a 10/10. inside is a small space so beat the rush or take it to go! read more

We were in the area and looking for a good burger and found Hook & Ladder on Yelp with great reviews. I tried the jalapeño burger that is highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. It was flavorful with just the right kick. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back. **update** 8/8/2020 Craving a good burger and wanted to support local. They are open with a walk up window for ordering and your food delivery. They do have some tables outside but we opted for a shady park to enjoy our burgers. I got the combo 10-jalapeño burger, fries and drink any my hubs got the pastrami burger combo. He said it was some of the best pastrami he's had. read more
